Cultivation World 56: Five Lifetimes Together
Xie Yan's breakthrough this time took a little longer than Xie Yunsui expected.
According to the original plot line, about seven years later, he instructed all the shops near Tianlang Xianzong to notify the distinguished guest No. 001 as soon as they saw him with his ID card.
Less than an incense stick's time had passed since Xie Yan took out his sign when Xie Yunsui arrived at his location.
Xie Yan was slightly surprised: "Have you been waiting for me?"
Xie Yunsui looked him up and down, noticing that the faint melancholy and sense of death between his brows were no longer as deep as before. He smiled and said, "Not bad."
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to fight me again?"
"It seems you have an extraordinary opportunity. I won't bother with this." Xie Yunsui turned around and said, "Come on, Master wants to see you."
Xie Yan's smile faded and he followed him silently.
Arriving at the Tianlang Immortal Sect's Qi Peak, Xie Yan thought it was finally time to reveal the murderer who had wiped out his clan. He had prepared himself mentally the entire way. Unexpectedly, upon meeting Ling Ye, Ling Ye slapped him in the face and praised him. "Not bad, you've spent ten years honing your sword, and it's truly honed beautifully. Has it stabilized at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul?"
Xie Yan: "Yes."
"With more experience, maybe we can reach the later stage?"
Xie Yan said helplessly: "It's not like we're eating or drinking, how can it be so fast?"
Ling Ye snorted: "Is it because of lack of battle? Or is it because of unstable state of mind?"
Xie Yan was silent for a moment and lowered his eyes.
Ling Ye nodded: "Then I have everything."
Xie Yunsui smiled and said, "It seems that our efforts over the past few years have not been in vain."
Xie Yan: ???
The two of them took Xie Yan out to take a look, and Xie Yan discovered that a mountain had appeared near Qifeng Peak. On the top of the mountain stood a tall black tower with twenty-eight floors.
"This tower is called the Cultivation Tower. It took the combined efforts of all the disciples at Qifeng, using tens of thousands of spiritual treasures and materials, and consulting with several skilled cultivators proficient in formations and runes. It took eight years to forge and build..." Ling Ye said slowly, "Originally, it was Yun Sui's idea, built for you."
Xie Yan was shocked: "For me?"
Xie Yunsui smiled and said, "It's not easy hiding here and there in order to gain experience and breakthrough. What if there was a place that could simulate all the conditions you need for cultivation?"
Xie Yan's breathing became deeper and his eyes became scorching.
That way, you don't have to run around, don't have to keep a low profile to hide your cultivation, and don't have to worry about implicating others.
"But, can it really simulate the environment I need? It can't be just an illusion array..." Xie Yan guessed based on his own knowledge.
"It's open now, and some of my disciples are training here to break through the tower. You can go and take a look and give it a try."
Xie Yan immediately flew over there, and when he reached the mountain path in front of the tower, he saw a group of Qi training disciples from the Tianlang Immortal Sect coming together.
"I was in a tower a few days ago, and after being stuck in my cultivation for half a year, I suddenly advanced from the middle stage to the late stage. It was so cool!"
"Yeah, usually when I fight you guys, I'm always worried that I'll hit you too hard, and I'm afraid you'll hurt me, so I'm always hesitant. But now I'm not afraid anymore, I can chop those iron lumps with ease!"
"You actually chose this mode? I chose the Monster Fantasy Realm. Those monsters are all kinds of strange and bizarre, and the fighting methods are different. I feel like my combat experience has deepened my understanding!"
"Have you never tried fighting yourself? That's the feeling... Only you know your own weaknesses and strengths. He knows everything you know. If he can defeat you, he will surely be able to break through in one fell swoop."
"It's a pity that we are not strong enough, so we can only wander around the lower floors of the tower. I really want to see what surprises there are on the upper floors."
…
Xie Yan's curiosity was aroused. As he was walking towards the front of the tower, he suddenly met a man rushing out.
The man was in tatters, as if he had been beaten up, but there was a strange smile on his face.
"Make way, make way! I'm about to break through!"
The man wanted to return to the top of the mountain where he was and concentrate on advancing and breaking through, but he didn't expect the calamity cloud to come too quickly, and suddenly a thunderbolt struck him.
Wow! The disciples with lower cultivation levels either slipped away or slipped into the tower, quickly avoiding the attack.
Xie Yan watched him respond to six thunder tribulations with his own eyes, which was already a very good qualification.
Although the man was in a miserable state, he had a method for dealing with the thunder tribulation, as if he had practiced it dozens of times.
"Hahaha, it's worth my hard work day and night in the tower. This thunder tribulation is nothing special. It's not as strong as the thunder tribulation in the tower that can strike people to pieces. Hahaha..." The man laughed crazily.
Xie Yan: “…”
He became more and more curious.
Can even thunder tribulations be simulated?
There is a tower-breaking rule in front of the tower, stating that the training simulation environment is very difficult. Moreover, because everyone's qualifications are different, there are different ways to "pass" the same scene. All disciples who enter the tower should not take shortcuts, and everything should be based on improving their own strength.
Xie Yan used his spiritual power to touch the first door under the tower and immediately entered a blank space.
A majestic voice asked him if he wanted to break into the tower.
Xie Yan agreed, then told him to relax, checked his qualifications, and asked him to use his best weapon to launch a full-strength attack. He then asked him what type of challenge mode he preferred. If he was hesitant, he would thoughtfully prepare several scenarios for recommendation.
Xie Yan marveled at this and randomly chose "Three Thousand Puppets".
A gust of floating clouds dissipated, and the scene around him had changed. Xie Yan looked around clearly and found that everything around him was extremely familiar.
This is clearly the entrance to the Qingyan Sect!
In the distance, a dozen gatekeeper disciples, wearing Qingyan Sect uniforms, were divided into two teams for patrol. Everything matched what he remembered.
Xie Yan suddenly felt timid and wanted to hide, but he found a cliff thousands of feet high behind him.
There is no way to retreat, we can only move forward.
"Who dares to trespass into the sect?!" Hearing the noise, the gatekeeper disciples immediately spotted him.
Only then did Xie Yan realize that these people were all puppets with the same face.
The man's face was stiff and lifeless, and he was not one of the disciples he was familiar with. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
There are three thousand puppets in this trial, as the name suggests, there are three thousand puppet disciples in it, and the tower-breakers need to kill all of them from the sect entrance all the way to the sect's main hall.
These puppet disciples also gradually increased their strength from the initial stage of Qi training at the gate, to the foundation building stage, the golden elixir stage, and finally to the main peak, where their strength was comparable to that of the Nascent Soul stage and the God-transforming stage.
Xie Yunsui fought his way through the trials, and after he had killed all the Nascent Soul cultivators, he reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage masters. Finally, he was exhausted and thrown out of the trial.
After Xie Yan took the elixir to recover, he immediately charged in again.
This time, after killing all the gods, he was thrown out before reaching the peak of the fusion stage.
Take medicine and then kill!
When Ling Ye and Xie Yunsui saw that Xie Yan had not come out since he entered the tower, they knew that he was immersed in it.
"Or do you have a way to integrate those myriad trials into the tower? However, all the treasures you have saved have been used up, even the rare and incomparable golden spirit vein has been refined into it. Don't you think it's a pity?"
"After training these disciples of the sect, are you worried that they won't be able to find better treasures to bring back?"
"Haha, you're quite open-minded!"
Ling Ye smiled and suddenly changed the subject: "When he comes out this time, I'll tell him the truth about the murderer behind the scenes."
"You've prepared so much for him, practically sending him to immortality. If you can't even withstand this little blow, there's no point in seeking revenge." Ling Ye sighed, "Sometimes I feel like you're not a descendant of the Xie family, but an alien from nowhere, coming specifically for Xie Yan to help him achieve immortality."
Xie Yunsui: "Master, I have a Taoist partner. Please don't say such ambiguous words in front of him. What if he gets jealous?"
Ling Ye chuckled and said, "Then you should coax her more."
Over the next hundred years, Xie Yan became obsessed with breaking through the tower, challenging different trials, tempering his character, improving his strength, breaking through realms time and time again, and finally it was time to return to the sect.
He already knew that the murderer behind the scenes was his most respected master.
It is said that the battle was so fierce that no one could stay within a hundred miles.
A hundred years ago, his master wiped out the entire Xie family, leaving him alone to walk the world.
A hundred years later, Xie Yan returned with revenge, but he was surrounded by close friends, close elders, and a close Taoist partner.
After Xie Yan killed his enemy, he finally felt less empty and no longer felt that there was nothing left in the world for him to linger on.
He dragged his bloody body back to the Tianlang Immortal Sect area, his small home. Seeing that everyone had already set out the celebratory wine, he smiled and walked over quickly:
"I'm back."
-
In this life, Xie Yunsui thought that he could see Xie Yan cultivate and ascend with his own eyes, opening the passage between the world of cultivation and the world of immortals.
But I didn't expect the separation to come so quickly.
Ling Xiyuan only lived the age that a foundation-building cultivator should live, but he sensed that his life was coming to an end.
"How could that be?" Xie Yunsui couldn't believe it. "Haven't you already reached the level of a Spiritual Transformation cultivator?"
The later it got, the slower Ling Xiyuan's "progress" became. Xie Yan was already heading towards the Tribulation Crossing Stage, but he was still stuck in the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Even though Xie Yunsui fed him all kinds of rare treasures, kept up with the training in the Black Tower, and visited all the training sites in the Yunjian Continent, Ling Xiyuan never felt the opportunity to break through again.
Just like the time he advanced to the Golden Core stage, there were no thunder tribulations in his two subsequent breakthroughs.
At that time he still felt pretty good, at least he was spared the suffering of thunder tribulation.
It turns out that everything is secretly marked with a price. He is not forgotten by heaven, but is destined to live only for the foundation-building period.
Five hundred years, only five hundred years.
Ling Xiyuan was lying in the small courtyard of Cangyu City, looking at the grape vines not far away. He smiled and said to Xie Yunsui, "I want to eat grapes."
Xie Yunsui had them in his hands, and there were a lot of them in the space, with all kinds of grapes.
But he still nodded seriously: "I'll pick it."
He picked two bunches of beautiful, ripe purple grapes with his own hands, and when he came back, his Xiaoxi was completely dead.
"Alas." Xie Yunsui kissed his cheek: "Save these two skewers for you in your next life."
When a cultivator dies, all his spiritual power will dissipate, and Ling Xiyuan is no exception.
Xie Yunsui used Xiao Wan to collect all the spiritual power he had scattered. At this moment, Xiao Wan announced:
[Energy is sufficient, the Wanjie Shop will upgrade automatically soon——]
Xiao Wan's energy was always consumed in emergencies, one wave was consumed when dealing with Heng Taiwei, and one wave was consumed when building the black tower. Even on the day when Xie Yan went for revenge, Xie Yunsui hid behind him and used all his energy to protect the civilians who were affected at the time.
Xie Yunsui raised an eyebrow. "Oh? I finally replenished my energy."

The author has something to say: This world has ended. As usual, I'll take a two-day break while I sort out the plot for the next world.
