"For example, the classic eighteenth floor of the Myriad Pagoda is a place that is generally recognized as being passable only by warriors of the first level of the Mountain and Sea Realm. A combat power of 20,000 is equivalent to having the ability to fight three opponents of the same level."
"Assuming a mid-level martial artist enters, he would need to be able to fight against at least several mid-level martial artists of the same level..."
Listening to Qu Bai's further explanation, Shen Qian nodded in understanding.
Qu Bai's words implied that the difficulty of the Myriad Pagoda varies from person to person, and there is no real difference between a king or a novice martial artist entering it.
"How many floors does this Myriad Pagoda have?"
Shen Qian asked the most crucial question.
"Unknown." To everyone's surprise, Qu Bai and Bai Fei exchanged a glance and shook their heads at the same time.
"Unknown?" Shen Qian was somewhat taken aback.
"Because it's very likely that no one has actually cleared the Tower of Myriad Forms, so naturally they don't know how many floors it has." Qu Bai shrugged.
"But... since this Myriad Manifestations Tower was jointly founded by hundreds of kings and nobles, does that mean that the kings and nobles themselves didn't know how many floors they built?"
The sinking seemed quite absurd.
"There are different opinions about this among martial artists. I later consulted the principal, who revealed that the true leaders of the Myriad Pagoda are still the dozens of first-generation kings and nobles around the world, including the Nine Kings."
Qu Bai pondered, “The Myriad Pagoda is known as the world’s number one secret realm, open to martial artists of all levels. The mysteries it contains are probably beyond the comprehension of even ordinary kings and nobles. Perhaps its true number of levels is related to its most core secret.”
"The first king or nobleman?"
Upon hearing those four words again, Shen Qian fell into deep thought.
"Actually, there's another theory online that the Tower of Myriad Manifestations probably only has ninety-nine floors at most, because according to the Martial Arts Department's publicly available records of all the secret realms, the highest-ranking Zhou Yiwang is on the ninety-ninth floor..."
Bai Fei then spoke up.
"Will the King of Zhouyi also enter the Tower of Myriad Images?"
Shen Qian was taken aback.
"Of course, and more than once... I remember just last month, King Zhouyi came here, and dozens of kings and nobles showed up to watch, which caused a sensation."
Bai Fei chuckled.
"But it is precisely because King Zhouyi came more than once that everyone speculates that the Tower of Myriad Images has more than ninety-nine floors. Otherwise, King Zhouyi would not have set foot here again and again... After all, his record of ninety-nine floors was set long ago."
Qu Bai countered, "The fact that the King of Zhou Yi went to such lengths to explain further suggests that the Pagoda of Myriad Images may have a hundred or even a hundred and one more floors."
"Who knows?" Bai Fei shrugged. "Anyway, no one except Zhou Yiwang has ever reached the ninety-ninth floor. Perhaps only by going in can we find out the truth..."
While the two were arguing, Shen Qian was deeply moved.
King Zhou Yi was also one of the first kings and nobles!
But even he, as one of the creators who participated in the core secrets, valued the Tower of Myriad Manifestations so much, and even entered it to explore it time and time again...
No, that's not right. It's precisely because Zhou Yi Wang was also the creator that it further suggests that the Pagoda of Myriad Images must be hiding some great secret.
This secret is so profound that even the King of Zhouyi had to go to great lengths to unravel it.
Before sinking, I had a vague intuition that behind the Pagoda of Myriad Images, there might be a piece of the puzzle of an era shrouded in mystery.
It is even directly related to the gradual disappearance of the first generation of kings and nobles.
"By the way, senior, you also said before that the Myriad Pagoda is related to the 'Gate'?" Shen Qian didn't have any clue for the time being, so he stopped thinking about it and asked instead.
"Yes, the Tower of All Things can help you understand the 'Door' more."
Qu Bai nodded. "There are many elements inside, all of which are taken from behind the 'door'. You should have felt it too. The outside world has been quite unsettled lately, and a major change may happen any day. It's never a bad thing to take this opportunity to enter the Myriad Pagoda for more training."
"It's almost time. Chen Qian, you should go in now. There's a limit to the number of people allowed in the Vientiane Tower each day. If you miss today, you'll have to come back tomorrow."
Bai Fei glanced at the time and began to urge him on.
Shen Qian nodded and, without further delay, joined the others at the back of the crowd to form a queue, preparing to enter the fourth-level gate of the Myriad Pagoda.
"I see that the square is quite lively, with many stalls, but they're not selling anything. What are these people doing?"
As he spoke, his gaze swept across the perimeter of the square.
At this moment, at least tens of thousands of martial artists had gathered in front of the Myriad Manifestations Tower, but the total number of people from the Six Paths Sect who were actually queuing to enter the Myriad Manifestations Tower was only a little over a thousand.
Many more people lingered around the perimeter of the square, some in small groups, others standing alone, which aroused Shen Qian's curiosity.
"As a world-class martial arts mecca, this plaza can be seen as an additional part of the ecosystem of the Vientiane Tower."
Qu Bai laughed and said, "There are many people who go to great lengths or spend all their savings to obtain a martial arts token, but they have never entered the Myriad Manifestations Tower."
"Some people consider the plaza of the Myriad Pagodas the best place to exchange martial arts techniques, while others simply wait here to admire the grandeur of royalty, and still others..."
Qu Bai hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "This is also the largest black market for trading martial arts tokens."
Shen Qian was taken aback, not expecting there to be so much going on in this crowded square. He did hear about the existence of a "black market," and Shen Qian seemed to be deep in thought.
The Martial Arts Token is produced under the supervision of the Martial Arts Department and is not allowed to be traded according to the law. However, before I was sunk, I heard my third senior brother say that all martial arts resources have their own price.
The martial arts training order is no exception.
However, such transactions will inevitably be more clandestine.
"Right in front of the Vientiane Pagoda, isn't anyone in charge?" Shen Qian asked doubtfully.
