Chapter 175 Xuanming Tower
“Shen Lingchuan, you can’t escape today!”
Seeing the scene in front of him, even Lai Yang couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
All five Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm insects from the Xuanming Realm actually gathered together.
From what they said, I was being used as bait to ambush the human Taiyi Jinxian senior in front of me?
Shen Lingchuan looked back at Lai Yang, his eyes kind and gentle, and said in a clear voice: "Don't be afraid, kid, I will take you away from here."
"You are in danger yourself, so how can you say such things? Today we must make sure that there are no more Golden Immortals in the Xuanming Realm. Otherwise, something unexpected will happen. Let's act together."
The five insect kings nodded one after another.
When the five insect kings attacked, Lai Yang suddenly felt as if the entire world was pressing down on them, making it impossible for them to move.
"This child is the last hope of the Xuanming Realm. I will not let you hurt him in any way."
Shen Lingchuan waved his long sleeves, and suddenly a small tower flew out. The tower body exuded an extremely powerful aura fluctuation, and it blocked the coordinated attack of the five insect kings effortlessly.
Seeing this, the five insect kings narrowed their eyes and said coldly: "Sure enough, the Xuanming Tower is in your hands. Human race, why don't we make a deal? If you hand over the Xuanming Tower to us, we can let you go."
"A few disgusting bugs, you have a nice idea. Do you dare to covet my Xuanming Tower?" Shen Lingchuan cursed without any hesitation.
"Chen Lingchuan, don't misunderstand the situation. The Xuanming Realm has been ruled by our Zerg. What can you do even if you resist?"
"Hmph, even if the Mysterious Nether Tower is in your hands, how much power can you unleash from this treasure?"
"Don't waste your time talking to him. Just grab the magic weapon. As long as we get the Xuanming Tower, the mission assigned by the master will be completed."
The five insect kings watched with eager eyes, each displaying their innate magical powers, swallowing and spitting out magic weapons to attack Shen Lingchuan and Lai Yang.
But under the protection of the Xuanming Tower, all their attacks were easily blocked by Shen Lingchuan, which shows how extraordinary he is.
However, Shen Lingchuan didn't want to bother with them any more. Although he could temporarily withstand the attacks of five people with the power of his magic weapon, he couldn't sustain this situation for too long.
His main purpose this time was to save people, not to go to war with the Zerg.
Now he has not yet completely regained the ability to conquer the Mysterious World.
"Let's go."
Shen Lingchuan turned around and broke the restraints on Lai Yang, and immediately took him away into the void.
Seeing this, the faces of the five insect kings suddenly turned ugly.
"We were just guessing at first, but we didn't expect that the Xuanming Tower, the treasure that suppresses the Xuanming Realm, was actually in his hands, and he ran away again."
"The human race is cunning, as slippery as loaches. If we let them escape this time, it will be even more difficult to lure them into a trap next time.
"If we hadn't accidentally let this man escape when we were encircling the human race, none of this would have happened. Let's think of a solution. If we delay for too long, that master will get angry. We can't afford his wrath."
…
On the other side, in an instant, Lai Yang was brought to a cave world by Shen Lingchuan.
“We’re here.” Shen Lingchuan let go of Lai Yang and said lightly.
"Where is this?" Lai Yang looked around and saw many people farming and living here.
"This is the cave world that I opened up with the Xuanming Tower. I named it Xuanming Cave Heaven. If you stay here, you don't have to worry about being discovered by the Zerg from the outside world. Some of these people followed me into Xuanming Cave Heaven when the Zerg invaded the Xuanming Realm, and some were rescued later."
Shen Lingchuan looked at those who were working hard to farm or practice, his eyes flashing with satisfaction and complexity.
"My ability is limited. I can only open a small cave. This place can only accommodate 100,000 people. They are also the last human fire in the Xuanming world. You follow me."
Lai Yang was silent for a while, and followed Shen Lingchuan’s pace silently.
If he were here, perhaps he could develop peacefully for a while, and then destroy all those Zergs when his cultivation level broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.
"Now the Xuanming Realm is full of Zerg. After the Zerg invaded the Xuanming Realm, most of the creatures became their food. The few remaining humans also became vassals of the Zerg and were enslaved and exploited by them. I'm sure you must have seen it with your own eyes. They live in darkness and a life worse than death, just like a group of walking corpses."
Listening to Shen Lingchuan's story, Lai Yang couldn't help but ask, "How did the Zerg come? Apart from you, Senior, where are the other strong men in the Xuanming Realm? Were they all killed by the Zerg?"
Shen Lingchuan paused for a moment, then continued to move forward.
Just then, people nearby saw Shen Lingchuan and came forward to greet him with smiles on their faces.
"Master, have you eaten?"
"Master, this is something we grew ourselves. If you don't mind, you can take it and try it."
"Master, my child hasn't caused you any trouble recently, has he? If that brat does, just let me know and I'll break his legs!"
"Hello, Immortal." A group of young children who were playing and fighting shouted crisply.
Shen Lingchuan nodded with a smile on his face. Facing the enthusiasm of the crowd, he almost always responded.
Lai Yang saw that Shen Lingchuan seemed to be very popular among the people. He did not have the airs of an immortal as Lai Yang had imagined, but he could get along so well with these ordinary people.
Shen Lingchuan did not answer Lai Yang's question immediately, but took him around in Xuanming Cave Heaven.
Compared to people living outside the Xuanming Realm, people living here do not seem wealthy, but it is like heaven.
Everything is afraid of comparison. Without comparison, there is no life. The human race under the control of the Zerg lives like in hell.
Not only will they be subjected to various forms of abuse, but there is also the possibility of being eaten at any time.
“You should be someone from outside the Xuanming Realm.” Shen Lingchuan suddenly said.
Hearing this, Lai Yang nodded without any intention of hiding anything.
"Which plane did you come from? Why did you come to the Xuanming Realm?"
"The plane I was in before was called the Questioning Immortal Continent. Because one of my disciples ascended and alarmed the Zerg, the Zerg of the Eight Realms discovered and invaded. In order to prevent them from destroying the Questioning Immortal Continent, I came to the Mysterious Underworld through the space cracks, and then destroyed the passage. Now I can't go back even if I want to. Senior, is there any way to help me repair this thing?"
As he spoke, Lai Yang took out the fragment of the Ascension Gate, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Shen Lingchuan glanced at the fragments in Lai Yang's hand, shook his head gently, and said slowly: "I'm sorry, refining equipment is not my strong point, but even if this thing is repaired, you can't go back. This thing is just a medium after all. From the moment the medium is destroyed, the connection between the two planes is completely severed. Unless you have a way to locate the plane you were in before, you can't go back even if you just repair the portal."
Shen Lingchuan's words undoubtedly broke Lai Yang's last hope.
Everything was fine when I came here, but when I wanted to go back, I found that I couldn't go back. Is there anything more sad than this?
"Okay." Lai Yang sighed.
"It seems that you ascended from a low plane. I didn't expect that a seedling of Daluo Jinxian could appear in the low plane. If Xuanming Sect was still there, I would definitely ask Master to accept you as his last disciple. Alas... It's a pity that the Xuanming Realm is in such a situation now, and Xuanming Sect has long ceased to exist." Shen Lingchuan was filled with mixed feelings, his eyes full of helplessness and unwillingness.
Lai Yang remained silent, he didn't know how to start.
No matter who encounters such a thing, they will feel bad.
"Don't you want to know how the Zerg came? I'll tell you, someone colluded with the Zerg, sold the coordinates of the Xuanming Realm to them, and took the initiative to open the plane channel to allow the Zerg army to invade the Xuanming Realm. Those sects that used to be high and mighty, seeing the powerful Zerg, ran away faster than anyone else, which eventually led to my Xuanming Sect being isolated and helpless, and being dragged to death by the Zerg."
"The Zerg's goal is the origin of the Mysterious Netherworld. Once they take away the Mysterious Netherworld's heart, the Mysterious Netherworld will completely become a dead plane."
"My friend, no matter your talent or strength, you are the strongest person I have ever seen. Are you willing to promise me one thing?" Shen Lingchuan turned to look at Lai Yang and said in a serious voice.
Lai Yang hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Senior, please feel free to speak."
"I don't know how long I can hold on. If we keep hiding, we will be found and wiped out by the Zerg sooner or later. I have a way to send you out of the Xuanming Realm. I have only one condition. If you have a chance, please save the Xuanming Realm and the human race in the Xuanming Realm." Shen Lingchuan said earnestly and sincerely.
Hearing this, Lai Yang was slightly startled and asked in confusion: "Since you have a way to leave the Xuanming Realm, why don't you go and seek help from the outside world."
Shen Lingchuan shook his head, sighed lightly, and said lightly:
"I can only send one person out of the Xuanming Realm, and there may be some risks in the process."
"And if I leave, there will be no Taiyi Golden Immortal in Xuanming Realm anymore, and everyone will become fish on the chopping board of the Zerg."
"Master gave me the Xuanming Tower before he died. I have the obligation to protect the Xuanming Realm until the last moment. Even if I have to destroy the magic weapon, I will never let it fall into the hands of the Zerg."
Lai Yang was silent.
If he were given another thousand years, the damn Taiyi Golden Immortal Insect Race would all be garbage. There would be no reason why they were forced into such a situation.
"You don't have to give me an answer right away. I can still wait for this little while."
"One month. I will give you one month to consider it."
"You can enter the Xuanming Tower to practice within this month. The Xuanming Tower contains the power of the laws of time and space, so the flow of time is different from that in the outside world."
"One day in the outside world is equal to one year in the tower. You can take your time to think about it."
After saying that, Shen Lingchuan turned his hand, holding the shrunken Xuanming Tower in his palm.
"One day in the outside world is equivalent to one year in the tower?" Lai Yang touched his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
A doubt suddenly emerged in his mind. If he entered the Xuanming Tower to practice, would the increase in his own attribute points be calculated according to the external time or the time inside the tower?
Thinking of this, Lai Yang nodded without hesitation: "Okay, thank you very much, senior."
"Well, I will open the entrance to the Xuanming Tower for you. You can go in and practice well. If you have any questions, you can tell me."
After that, Shen Lingchuan opened the Xuanming Tower and immediately sucked Lai Yang into it.
The next moment, Lai Yang appeared in the Xuanming Tower and looked around carefully.
The spiritual energy in the Xuanming Tower is several times denser than that of the outside world. The space is not small, but there is nothing in it. Only countless complex array patterns are carved on the surrounding walls, which seem to reveal a mysterious feeling.
Even with Lai Yang's current attainments in the art of formations, for a moment it was as if he was reading a divine book and he could not understand the formation patterns at all.
After a while, Lai Yang felt a strong sense of weakness coming from his consciousness, which was a sign of excessive consumption of mental energy.
Lai Yang couldn't believe it. He only watched for less than a minute, and his mental strength couldn't bear it? !
You know, he now possesses perfect mental power in the middle stage of True Immortal Realm!
Lai Yang sat cross-legged in meditation, absorbing the immortal energy in the Xuanming Tower to practice and quickly recover his mental strength.
After his mental strength returned to normal levels, Lai Yang couldn't help but comprehend the mysterious array patterns on the wall of Xuanming Tower again.
When I felt dizzy, I started meditating again and repeated the cycle over and over again.
Before I knew it, a year had passed.
Lai Yang's cultivation in the fairyland has been improved, but in comparison, the improvement in his mental strength is more obvious and huge.
Lai Yang's physical body was still at the fifth level of the ninth realm, but his mental power had unexpectedly broken through to the sixth level of the ninth realm ahead of time, directly leading his physical body by one small realm!
At the same time, during this year of practice, Lai Yang determined something more important, that is the system!
Lai Yang stayed in the tower for a year, and the system gave him one year's worth of attribute points, not a single point less.
From this, it can be inferred that the speed of time flow in the Xuanming Tower is different from that in the outside world, and it is an independently existing space.
To be precise, Lai Yang's system plug-in improves his attributes once every 12 hours, so as long as Lai Yang actually spends 12 hours, the system will be able to provide him with attribute points normally and enhance his strength.
This discovery immediately made Lai Yang feel extremely happy.
Because in this case, if he stays in the Xuanming Tower for a thousand years, he will be able to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, while in the outside world, only less than three years will have passed!
Three years, just three years, he would be able to kill those bugs and make them pay the price for what they had done.
In a flash, thirty years passed in the Xuanming Tower.
Lai Yang opened his eyes again, and a flash of inspiration seemed to appear in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it no matter what.
After thirty years, he had not been able to comprehend even a complete array pattern on the Xuanming Tower. This made him feel a little shocked.
For the formations he had seen before, he could understand and analyze them roughly after just one look, and could remember them by heart and reproduce them after two looks.
Lai Yang didn't expect to run into a wall here, but this also indirectly shows how extraordinary the array patterns carved on the wall of Xuanming Tower are.
Once he successfully comprehends the rules, he will be able to gain incredible benefits.
Suddenly, Shen Lingchuan's familiar voice sounded in the Xuanming Tower——
"My friend, the one-month period has expired. I will let you out."
