Chapter 187 Tower of Babel
"Master understands. Mo Yu, Qing Luo, Mo Chen, you...you better prepare yourself. This is the life-saving item given to you by the sect!" Venerable Dan Hua took out three storage bags and placed them in the hands of the three.
Venerable Danhua nodded and continued, "In that case, the three of you should go back and make some preparations. Set out for the location of the Tower of Babel in three days. The journey will surely be filled with difficulties and obstacles, so be sure to be careful."
Gu Shihan and the others responded in unison and left with mixed feelings. What awaited them was a journey to the Tower of Babel full of unknowns and the burden of the fate of the entire spiritual world.
Three days later, the nine people gathered together, got to know each other, and spent a few days communicating and exchanging ideas with each other, becoming familiar with each other.
"Xiao Han, you are so amazing. You have reached the tenth level of Golden Core at such a young age. Your cultivation is higher than mine... Xiao Han, just call me by my name, hehe!" Gu Jiahui (Gu Yanli) took the opportunity when Gu Shihan was alone and pulled Gu Shihan aside.
"Old... ahem, Brother Gu, you have been living well these years, right? I prepared this for you a long time ago!" Gu Shihan took out a jade box and handed it to Gu Jiahui.
"Xiao Han, what is it?" Gu Jiahui took it and was about to open it.
Gu Shihan quickly held his hand and said, "Brother Gu, I brought this out from the Lost Valley. Keep it well and don't let anyone know!"
"Xiao Han, have you been to the Lost Valley? Gu Yufei from the Gu family has also been there, and the direct branch seems to have gotten something. Thank you!" Gu Jiahui accepted it readily. He really didn't have this thing, and he wanted to improve his strength, so he especially needed this Lingling!
Mo Yu saw the two people talking happily from afar, frowned and asked: "Junior sister, are you familiar with Fellow Daoist Gu?
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yu, Xiao Han and I are indeed old acquaintances!" Gu Jiahui said with a smile.
Mo Yu glanced at Gu Jiahui and nodded, "You both have the surname Gu, so you are from the same clan? Junior sister, are you from the Gu family?"
"Brother, I am not a member of the Gu family, I am just a little related, Brother Gu, am I right?"
"Yes, Xiao Han and I only have the same surname, Gu. It was Xiao Han who saved my life in the Soul-Devouring Forest. He is my savior!" Gu Jiahui sensed Mo Yu's slight hostility towards him. In order not to cause trouble to Gu Shihan, he explained with a smile.
"So that's how it is. My little Junior Sister is really beautiful and kind. Oh, I almost forgot. Master is here to call us over. We are about to enter the Tower of Babel. Junior Sister, let's go!"
The group of three came to a valley, where Venerable Danhua and a group of powerful gods were all there, and several other cultivators had also been waiting here early.
Suddenly, thousands of rays of light appeared in the sky. A small and exquisite tower emerged from the rays of light and landed in the valley.
This is the legendary Tower of Babel. The tower has nine sides and is ninety-nine feet high, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
Everyone looked at the Tower of Babel, their eyes filled with awe and anticipation.
Venerable Danhua said: "There are many dangers in this Tower of Babel, but the opportunities are also unlimited. Once you enter, you must be careful. The purpose of entering the tower this time is to collect star stones and open the passage to the Tower of Babel. We will wait for you to come back safely!"
"Yes! We will come back safely!" The nine people saluted together and walked into the gate of the Tower of Babel step by step.
Gu Shihan clenched the Seven-Star Silk Sound Sword in his hand, his eyes determined.
Mo Yu and Shi Qinghan immediately protected Gu Shihan in the middle.
Seeing this, Gu Jiahui felt a little strange. Was his cabbage going to be picked? But he had no time to think about it.
The gods worked together and used their magic power to open a road leading to the Tower of Babel, and Situ Tinglang was the first to step on it.
As soon as I stepped into the tower, I felt a chill. It was dark all around, and I could hear strange noises.
Gu Shihan used his spiritual power to illuminate his surroundings, and saw that the walls were engraved with all kinds of strange runes.
Suddenly, the ground shook and a group of ghostly shadows pounced towards the crowd.
Mo Yu took the lead, and the sword shadows flew and pushed back the black shadows. Gu Jiahui was not to be outdone and used magic weapons to resist.
Gu Shihan took out the Seven Star Silk Sound Sword, and as the seven swords separated and combined, a trap array appeared, temporarily trapping part of the black shadow.
Shi Qinghan formed seals with his hands and muttered something. A wall of fire rose up, blocking the attack of the remaining shadows. Everyone took the opportunity to retreat a distance.
"It seems like these black shadows are endless. We must find out where they come from!" Situ Tinglang said with a frown.
"Look over there!" Gu Shihan pointed to the distance, where there was a faint blue light flashing. Perhaps that was the way we came from."
"Maybe there is the solution or the entrance to the upper level." Mo Yu guessed.
So everyone showed off their skills and no longer kept their secrets, as their lives were at stake.
While resisting the oncoming dark shadows, he fought and retreated, moving forward towards the blue light with difficulty.
When getting closer to the blue light, I found that it was emitted by a huge crystal ball. There was a stone platform under the crystal ball with a star stone on it.
"It seems that we have to deal with the thing guarding the Star Stone before we can get it." Gu Jiahui looked around vigilantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a giant beast covered in black smoke jumped out from the shadows, roared, and a threatening wave of air rolled over.
Mo Yu, Gu Shihan and Mo Jian rushed forward and fought with the giant beast. They drew their swords quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, while the others stood on both sides, looking for the giant beast's weaknesses.
Gu Shihan seized the opportunity and stabbed the giant beast's eyes with the Seven-Star Silk Sound Sword. The giant beast felt pain and its movements slowed down.
Mo Jian and Mo Yu both struck with their swords, destroying the beast's eyes.
The pain made the giant beast rush around recklessly. Gu Shihan threw away his sword and a fireball smashed into the giant beast's open mouth.
When the others saw the opportunity, they cast various spells one after another, and soon the giant beast was chopped into pieces.
The beast fell to the ground and disappeared, having successfully obtained the first star stone.
When you start at the star time, the blue crystal ball suddenly cracks, revealing a staircase leading to the next level.
"Is this the star stone? It looks a bit like starlight, so beautiful!" Duan Siqi's eyes lit up with little stars.
"Du, the star stone is our mission item and the key to open the top level. There are nine pieces in total. Only when all nine star stones are collected can we open the real door to the Tower of Babel." Situ Tinglang nodded.
Situ Tinglang put away the star stone, waved his hand, and the nine people walked up the stairs and came to the second floor.
The stairs were not safe, as there were many traps along the way, including spike traps and holes that spewed flames. Fortunately, everyone cooperated with each other and managed to escape danger time and time again.
After going up to the second floor, two roads appeared in front of me. The road on the left was filled with thick fog, and everything was white as far as the eye could see. The road on the right was clearly visible, but there was a faint sound of whistling wind.
