"Could it be that they know how to subdue this powerful magical artifact?"
"No...impossible. This magical artifact has been here for hundreds of millions of years without anyone subduing it. How could they possibly subdue it now by such a coincidence?"
This low-level Saint-level ghost cultivator first guessed at Lin Yun and True Martial Saint Monarch's purpose in entering the Heavenly Dao Tower, but quickly shook his head in denial.
"However, these two creatures dared to enter this magic treasure; they're courting death!" The next moment, a glint of light flashed in the depths of the eyes of this low-level Saint-level ghost cultivator, who thought to himself.
It has already relayed the information to the other generals. Before long, other powerful ghost cultivators will arrive, and then these two beings will be trapped inside this magical artifact.
Several tens of seconds later.
Whew! Whew!
Several spatial fluctuations appeared in this space, as the few Saint-level ghost cultivators arrived.
"You mean, Lin Yun and True Martial Saint Monarch, they entered this Heavenly Dao Tower?" A Saint Monarch-level ghost cultivator frowned.
The other Saint-level ghost cultivators also frowned.
According to the information they obtained from those beings, cultivators at the Super Realm level cannot enter the trial space upon entering this magical artifact; they will only enter an ordinary large space.
All the super-strong individuals who enter this Heavenly Dao Tower also enter the same ordinary large space, where they fight each other.
Therefore, any super strong person who tries to escape into this Heavenly Dao Tower is simply courting death.
However, when some of the ghost cultivators tried to enter, they found that this was not the case. The ghost cultivators of the Super Realm did not appear in the same large space after entering; instead, they almost got lost in it.
Fortunately, they discovered that this Heavenly Dao Tower could not seem to keep a living being or a ghost cultivator inside for long. After being trapped inside for some time, they came out.
Those beings seemed to be doing the same; they waited outside for many beings of the Super Realm to be expelled from the Heavenly Dao Tower.
At first, they thought there was something wrong with the information they had obtained from those beings, but after careful examination, they found that there was nothing wrong with the information they had obtained. It seemed that the rules of this Heavenly Dao Tower had changed.
Before these ghost cultivators from the Netherworld entered this universe, the rules of the Heavenly Dao Tower remained unchanged; after they entered, the rules of the Heavenly Dao Tower changed.
This made some of the higher-ups in the ghost cultivation world vaguely worried. Could it be that this Heavenly Dao Tower has a very strong spirituality and has discovered that the situation in this universe has changed drastically, and has begun to actively seek out its master?
If so, this Heavenly Dao Tower is very likely to find an owner in a short period of time.
In this situation, how could they not be worried when they saw Lin Yun and Zhenwu Shengjun enter?
The True Martial Saint King is quite powerful. Although he was poisoned, the poison is not incurable; it just takes time. As for Lin Yun, he already had the strength of a mid-level Saint. In just a short time, he has reached the strength of a high-level Saint. Now, he has broken through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe. It is estimated that he will have another period of explosive growth in strength. It would not be surprising if he reached the strength of a Saint King in a short time.
Neither of these methods would lead to the artifact recognizing a master, and that would not be a good thing.
"Brother Mastiff..."
A low-level Saint King-level ghost cultivator looked up at the three-headed dog ghost cultivator.
"Don't worry, everyone. All things have a spirit. This magic weapon is no ordinary magic weapon. The master it recognizes must also be no ordinary person. It has been here for hundreds of millions of years without recognizing a master. Even the extraordinary Dao Ancestor Li Er from thousands of years ago might not have recognized those two human boys as his masters..." The three-headed dog pondered for a moment and said.
“These two human boys went in to take a gamble. Now that they’ve gone in, it might not be a bad thing. At least we don’t have to search for them anymore. If they fail to make this magic weapon recognize them as its master, they will surely die when they come out…” The three-headed dog paused and said.
"Indeed, this magic weapon is no ordinary magic weapon; it might not necessarily recognize those two boys as its master..."
"Perhaps this magical artifact detected the presence of powerful figures from the Netherworld and sought to acknowledge them as its master, which caused the rule change!"
"If these two human brats dare to stay hidden, we'll wipe out all life in this universe. When they finally emerge, they'll find themselves all alone!"
The other Saint-level ghost cultivators nodded in agreement.
They appear carefree, but how much worry they harbor in their hearts is unclear.
Aren't you worried at all?
That Lin Yun is someone who broke through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe. Every person who breaks through one of the last three heavens of a universe is extremely talented. Moreover, this universe has thirty-six heavens. Therefore, Lin Yun's conditions in all aspects are even more outstanding. Perhaps this magic weapon will really recognize that human boy as its master.
After discussing it, the several Saint-level ghost cultivators decided that three ghost cultivators would guard this place, including the three-headed dog who was at the intermediate Saint-level.
Based on the time it took for those beings to be expelled, and their prior knowledge, Lin Yun and True Martial Saint Monarch could only stay in this Heavenly Dao Tower for a maximum of a few years.
They will have to wait here for a few years at most before there is a result.
The other two Saint-level ghost cultivators were responsible for managing the hunting and killing of living beings in this universe. They would then periodically bring some powerful living beings to be devoured, so as not to affect their cultivation.
Time slowly passed...
Inside the Tiandao Tower.
"Zhenwu!" The moment Lin Yun and Zhenwu Saint appeared in the Heavenly Dao Tower, a little child appeared in front of them, looked at Zhenwu Saint, and a childish voice rang out.
"Is this the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower?" Lin Yun was slightly surprised when he saw the little child.
He had heard that the Heavenly Dao Tower had been in this universe for hundreds of millions of years, and that it was originally a powerful magical artifact from the outside world, which had existed for an unknown number of years.
He had heard True Martial Saint Lord mention the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower several times, and he thought it would be an old man or an old woman, or at most an adult like himself. He never expected it to be such a child.
It's like... Xiaobai and Xiaolan have similar appearances. Because Lin Yun had gotten along well with Xiaobai and Xiaolan, and the two little guys were very affectionate towards Lin Yun, Lin Yun couldn't help but feel a lot of goodwill when he saw the image of the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower.
"So it was you!" At this moment, the little child saw Lin Yun and asked curiously, "Just now, was it you who broke through the thirty-fourth level of the universe? It seems that your talent is really strong!"
At that time, Lin Yun entered the Heavenly Dao Tower space for trials and performed very well in all aspects. Several times, it thought that Lin Yun was the reincarnation of its master. Therefore, it paid close attention to Lin Yun and had a deep impression of him.
However, after it learned that Lin Yun was not the reincarnation of its master, it paid little attention to Lin Yun. Even though Zhenwu Shengjun mentioned Lin Yun to it several times, it did not notice that the person Zhenwu Shengjun was talking about was the same Lin Yun that it had paid attention to before.
In fact, Lin Yun's behavior back then was very similar to its owner's in many ways, so it had a good impression of Lin Yun.
"Lin Yun greets Senior!"
Lin Yun also quickly bowed to the little child.
Although the other party was only in the form of a small child, it had lived for a very long time. In addition, it was the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower, such a heaven-defying magic weapon, so Lin Yun dared not be careless.
"Hmm, you're quite polite! It wasn't for nothing that I helped you!" The little boy nodded like a little adult, speaking in a serious tone.
Seeing this, Zhenwu Saint King smiled wryly. He knew that although this little child had lived for a long time, he was actually quite naive in some ways.
However, the fact that the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower had a good impression of Lin Yun relieved him. Next, he wanted the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower to help Lin Yun cultivate, but he didn't know how to ask.
Now that the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower has a good impression of Lin Yun, things will probably be easier to handle from here on out.
"Thank you so much for taking care of everyone around me, senior!" Lin Yun knew what the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower was talking about, and quickly said, his tone full of gratitude.
He was truly grateful. Right now, the outside universe was under heavy attack by the ghost cultivators of the Netherworld. There were more than just one or two Saint-level ghost cultivators, and who knows how many Saint-level ghost cultivators there were. There was simply no force outside that could withstand this powerful force.
No matter where Xia Qingqing and her group go, it's probably not safe. Only here can they be sure of their safety.
“Senior, you should know about what’s happening outside. I wonder if you could use some rare and precious materials to help Lin Yun cultivate? Only when Lin Yun becomes stronger can he drive away those ghost cultivators outside…” Zhenwu Saint Monarch said.
"No, no, no! Those rare and precious materials are what I use to cultivate ordinary cultivators to reach the Super Realm. If I were to cultivate a Super Realm cultivator to reach the Saint Realm, or even the Saint King Realm, how many rare and precious materials would that consume? I still have to wait for my master to appear..." The little child waved his hands repeatedly, very anxiously.
"Senior, listen to me. Times have changed. If all the cultivators in this universe were to die, who would you nurture? Perhaps, among those fallen cultivators, is the reincarnation of your master! In that case, Lin Yun's growth in strength could not only save the beings of this universe, but also potentially save the reincarnation of your master..." True Martial Saint King sighed and said.
Before he came, he planned to persuade the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower to nurture Lin Yun, and naturally he prepared some arguments.
“I don’t think those ghost cultivators intend to slaughter living beings indiscriminately. As the saying goes, heroes emerge in times of chaos. Perhaps this chaotic scene will accelerate the awakening of my master’s memories…” the little boy said with a troubled expression.
It had been waiting for its master's reincarnation for far too long. It knew that this was the last time its master's reincarnation would appear. If it couldn't appear within this time, it might never appear again. This made it very anxious, so it thought of trying a special method to see if it could force its master's reincarnation out.
“Look outside. Those few Saint-level Ghost Cultivators are guarding the outside. I guess they plan to stay there indefinitely. Even if your master’s memories are awakened, he can’t possibly come here. So what’s the use of the rare and precious materials you’ve prepared here?” True Martial Saint-King shook his head and said.
The little baby remained silent.
"As long as those few Saint-level ghost cultivators don't leave, neither your master nor any other cultivators in this universe will be able to enter the Heavenly Dao Tower space. No matter how many rare and precious materials the Heavenly Dao Tower space has, it will be useless. Furthermore, if your master's memories awaken, he will surely perform exceptionally well. What if those ghost cultivators discover his extraordinary abilities and try to kill him? Who in this universe can stop them? Even you, I'm afraid, can't. At that time, we can only watch helplessly as your master is hunted down by those ghost cultivators..." At this moment, the True Martial Saint-King spoke again.
The little boy's expression changed slightly.
"Conversely, if you cultivate Lin Yun's strength, and if your master's memories awaken, Lin Yun can take over. Even if you want to maintain the chaos in this universe, we can attack or defend as needed... Just now, Lin Yun broke through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe. Whether it's talent or anything else, he's in an extremely strong state. In addition, his ability to cross levels is extremely strong. He only needs to reach the lower-level saint realm to be able to fight against the Saint King level. Even if you cultivate him, it shouldn't consume too many heavenly treasures..." Seeing the little boy's interested expression, True Martial Saint King pressed on while the iron was hot and quickly said again.
"This..." The little child put a finger in his mouth and bit it hard, his little face showing a particularly troubled expression.
At this point, Zhenwu Shengjun stopped speaking and let the little child think for himself.
"Is it really not much consumption?" After a moment, the little child looked at Zhenwu Shengjun with anticipation and asked.
Seeing this, Lin Yun was speechless. He knew that the little boy had been persuaded by the True Martial Saint.
However, seeing Zhenwu Shengjun persuading the little child like this made him feel as if the two adults were deceiving a child, which made him feel very embarrassed.
If it weren't for the special circumstances, he really wouldn't want to do such a thing.
However, he knew that Zhenwu Shengjun was right. Letting this situation continue might not necessarily help the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower find its master's reincarnation.
If something suddenly happens, they have no power to stop it.
"Don't worry, senior, I will try my best to consume as little energy as possible..." Thinking this, Lin Yun bowed to the little child again and said very respectfully.
"That's right. With Lin Yun's powerful ability to fight beyond his level, he probably only needs to reach the intermediate Saint realm!" True Martial Saint Monarch nodded repeatedly.
"Alright! I agree to let him use the rare and precious herbs here!" Finally, the little boy nodded and said.
Hearing the little boy's words, Zhenwu Saint King breathed a sigh of relief. After a pause, he said again, "Actually, keeping this universe in chaos is not the right path. It would easily injure your master's reincarnation. You haven't seen it, but Lin Yun is very strong. He used only one move to cleave through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe. I estimate that he may be able to break through the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe!"
