In the history that Shen Yuan knew, there was no record of the final whereabouts of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.
In the history told by Gong Buyu, the Supreme Taoist refused to become the host of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower and left, leaving behind the legend of the Supreme Taoist in the Xuanhuang Realm.
The Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, as a supreme treasure of immortal artifacts, has instead become a stepping stone for building the reputation of the Supreme Taoist.
“From the perspective of time, it will only be a few decades before the Great Yin Emperor breaks through the connection between heaven and earth.
As long as the Great Celestial Immortal Minghao does not choose to subdue the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda during this period of time, this treasure is very likely to be successfully passed down to future generations because of the Jue Tiandi Tong. "
"As a top-grade immortal weapon that carries a trace of the aura of a world-opening treasure, the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda is still a treasure with unlimited potential even if it has been damaged after ten thousand years."
The more he thought about this, the brighter Shen Yuan's eyes became.
He is only at the Qi Refining Stage now. Unless he becomes a puppet host, he is not qualified to master a complete immortal weapon.
Even if he could control the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower with the help of Emperor Donghua, it would soon be exposed, which might bring unpredictable troubles.
Moreover, the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower is spiritual. If Shen Yuan takes it back to the world ten thousand years later, it will not be easy for him to control it without his own strength, and many of his own secrets will be exposed.
In addition, the great immortal Minghao is watching covetously, so it would definitely be the worst choice for Shen Yuan to take away the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower now.
It is better to let nature take its course and wait for ten thousand years before making any consideration.
And finally, the most important point.
“The history told by Gong Buyu is closed due to various coincidences.
Even if the Luoyun Sect was wiped out, there were still supreme Taoists born, and there were still Taoists who defeated their peers and climbed to the top of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.
In this strange historical closed loop, if I conquer the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower in advance, will it cause damage to the entire historical closed loop and bring unpredictable effects? "
If Shen Yuan was qualified to transcend history, he would definitely try to destroy the impact of the historical closed loop.
However, Shen Yuan is now in history, and he is unwilling to take the risk of destroying the established history.
After making up his mind, Shen Yuan's chaotic thoughts gradually converged, and when he looked at the disheveled beast again, his eyes were calm.
"Although this Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda contains mysteries and has the ability to suppress the destiny of an entire world, the great trend of the divine way will change in the next hundred years, and the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda cannot be moved lightly."
Shen Yuan's tone was indifferent, but the ferocious beast trembled all over when he heard it. He immediately realized that the words of the Emperor Donghua in front of him were for him to convey a message to the great immortal Minghao who coveted the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda.
Within a hundred years, the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower cannot be moved.
After a hundred years, you can take it away at your own will.
Although the ferocious beast did not understand the deep meaning of Emperor Donghua's words, it still bowed its head respectfully and responded:
"I will obey the Emperor's order!"
In the eyes of the ferocious beast, the great immortal Minghao had no intention of taking away the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda in a short period of time. Moreover, a mere hundred years was just a blink of an eye for a great immortal.
The great immortal Minghao would certainly not dare to refuse the emperor's order.
Seeing the ferocious beast agree, Shen Yuan's mind was completely at peace.
"As long as the great immortal Minghao does not take this Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda within a hundred years, after the connection between heaven and earth is severed, nothing will be decided by that great immortal."
Now that the matter was settled, Shen Yuan should have chosen to leave, but for some reason he always felt that something was missing in his heart.
Frowning slightly, Shen Yuan subconsciously looked towards the top of the eighteenth floor of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower. He always felt that there seemed to be something above the eighteenth floor attracting him.
The ferocious beast's heart tightened when he saw this, then he raised his head humbly and spoke in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, come to the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda. Do you want to see the pagoda spirit of this pagoda?"
The ferocious beast's words gave Shen Yuan a flash of enlightenment.
The eighteenth floor of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower corresponds to the Tianmen Trial. Only after Tianmen should one truly ascend to the highest floor of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.
"It is nurtured by the fortune of a world, but it can be seen."
As soon as Shen Yuan finished speaking, the ferocious beast quickly raised its claws and waved them in the air. A golden portal appeared in the center of the platform on the eighteenth floor.
The ferocious beast showed a humble smile on his face and said:
“Your Majesty, this gate is the final door of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, and it leads directly to the core of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda.
There is a world law being nurtured in it, and even the foundation of the world-opening treasure is evolving, but the great celestial being Minghao does not allow the little god to set foot in it, so I cannot lead the way for the emperor. "
Seeing this, Shen Yuan nodded slightly and walked towards the golden portal.
The ferocious beast stared at Shen Yuan's departing back. Under his humble expression, his eyes seemed to be filled with changing thoughts.
At the last moment when Shen Yuan was about to step into the golden portal, Shen Yuan's footsteps suddenly paused, and the thoughts in the eyes of the ferocious beast stagnated slightly.
"You will be stationed in this tower for ten thousand years."
"Ten thousand years later, I will give you an opportunity!"
Shen Yuan glanced at the ferocious beast, and his plain words sounded like thunder in the ears of the ferocious beast.
The beast's expression froze for a moment, then it revealed an expression of uncontrollable ecstasy.
Ten thousand years is nothing to the ferocious beast that has already reached the fairyland.
Just because of the order of the great immortal Minghao, he had been stationed in the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower for tens of thousands of years, but he had not received any reward.
If you follow the Emperor's order and stay there for ten thousand years to get the chance and luck, you might be able to get rid of the low-level immortal list.
"Thank you, Emperor! Thank you, Emperor!"
Just as the ferocious beast bowed its head and knelt, Shen Yuan had already stepped into the golden portal and his figure disappeared on the eighteenth floor.
Along with the changes in the spatial level, Shen Yuan came to a world full of vitality.
Unlike the eighteen cold and empty huge stone platforms below, the space in front of Shen Yuan was full of vitality.
These lush forests and grasslands are spread across every corner of the world. A large number of small animals are running and playing in the woods. The scorching sun shines on the stars in the sky, just like a paradise in mythology.
However, in such a vibrant world, Shen Yuan sensed something strange.
In this world, whether it is mountains, rivers, earth, plants, birds and beasts, or even the stars and sun in the sky, the air and breeze that are everywhere, they are all transformed by the mysterious yellow energy.
The mother energy of all things, which is said to be as heavy as a mountain and gives birth to the foundation of the earth, has created its own world in this vibrant world.
Shen Yuan's pupils shrank slightly. Even though he had not yet reached the state of the Nine Breaths to Subdue the Qi, he was unable to evolve a world with a single Qi of heaven and earth.
Xuanhuang Linglong Tower's attainments in the mother energy of all things even surpassed him who had mastered the great supernatural power of Nine Breaths to Subdue the Qi.
Before Shen Yuan could calm down, a bolt of lightning transformed from the dark yellow energy fell from the sky, and the vibrant world shattered in Shen Yuan's eyes.
During the disintegration, all things are analyzed into the most primitive mother energy of all things, and then turn into chaos and return to nothingness.
In the void where time and space dimensions are lost, countless years have passed quietly.
And when a mother energy of all things was born from nothingness and evolved into earth, water, wind and fire to stabilize the boundless chaos, the laws of the world began to operate again.
Shen Yuan was immersed in the evolution of this world process.
At this moment, Shen Yuan finally understood why the great immortal Minghao regarded the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower as a forbidden delicacy and did not allow any creatures in the lower world to touch it.
It’s not because of the fortune of the Xuanhuang Realm, nor because of the gestation of a realm, but because of this foundation of the treasure for opening the realm that has not yet been fully formed.
The Xuanhuang Linglong Tower carries the infinite mother energy of all things. As long as Xuanhuang is not destroyed, it can continue to evolve, and one day it will be able to push this treasure to the ultimate treasure of opening the world.
This process alone is enough to allow the person holding the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower to repeatedly appreciate the true meaning of the creation of the world and all things.
Shen Yuan sighed softly in his heart and forcibly broke free from the process of evolving the world.
Although the process of opening the world is full of mysteries, Shen Yuan's realm is too low, and he can only barely glimpse a glimpse of the true meaning with the Nine Breaths Subduing Great Divine Ability. If he can digest the true meaning, he will definitely make progress, but if he ignores his own cultivation and forcibly indulges in it, it will damage his foundation.
"You can't bite off more than you can chew, you can't bite off more than you can chew!"
With a soft sigh, Shen Yuan walked towards the core of this world.
There, there is an exquisite eighteen-story Linglong Pagoda, whose appearance is exactly the same as the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, as if the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda has been shrunk countless times and is suppressing everything between heaven and earth.
This is exactly the tower spirit of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.
Before he got close to the tower spirit, a voice sounded in Shen Yuan's ears.
"Are you really Emperor Donghua?"
The voice was childish and clear, and as he spoke, a golden eye slowly opened from the sky. This was the eye that Shen Yuan had seen on the thirteenth floor before.
At that time, this eye tried to bestow blessings but was rejected by Shen Yuan and was given to Ji Zhaoyang, the third prince of Dayin.
Shen Yuan's actions once aroused the anger of the tower spirit, but after Shen Yuan stepped into the core world of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, the tower spirit no longer took that little matter to heart.
Compared to Shen Yuan's transfer of the blessing, the tower spirit was more curious about Shen Yuan's identity as called by the ferocious beast, and his experience of solving the two trials of the Earth Gate.
Although the tower spirit nominally controls the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, the human entrance trial was set by the great immortal Minghao, and its difficulty was also determined by the great immortal Minghao.
The essence of the Earth Gate Trial is to repair the damage to heaven and earth for the Xuanhuang Realm, and it is guided by the will of the Xuanhuang Realm.
As for the Tianmen Trial, it is guarded personally by the ferocious beast, a prehistoric alien species that has entered the fairyland, and cannot be under the jurisdiction of the tower spirit.
The only things that the tower spirit can truly influence are the evolution of the highest level and the blessing of luck for the trial-takers.
Shen Yuan looked directly at Ta Ling. As Ta Ling asked this question, he already had a plan in mind.
Although the Tower Spirit was born tens of thousands of years ago, it was confined here by the great immortal Minghao and has little knowledge of the outside world.
If the tower spirit really understood the significance of Emperor Donghua, the fight that took place on the thirteenth floor alone would be enough for the tower spirit to conclude that he was not the real Emperor Donghua.
With a smile on his lips, Shen Yuan asked Ta Ling:
"Do you think I am Emperor Donghua?"
There was a trace of confusion in Ta Ling's golden eyes, and he didn't answer.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan took a step forward and continued to ask:
"To put it another way, do you wish I were Emperor Donghua?"
The small tower that was the tower spirit's body was shaking, as if it was a little confused by Shen Yuan's words.
"You are Emperor Donghua, do you still have anything to do with me?"
"Of course it does matter!" Shen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, the smile on his face becoming more and more meaningful.
"If I were Emperor Donghua, I would be able to give you what you want."
When the pagoda spirit heard this, a strong golden light suddenly burst out from the exquisite eighteen-story pagoda, and its golden eyes full of oppression stared at Shen Yuan:
"You know what I want?"
"free."
Shen Yuan directly said what Ta Ling desired most.
As a top-grade immortal weapon that was close to being a treasure for the creation of the world when it was born, the Tower Spirit was controlled by the Great Immortal Minghao from beginning to end. Even its own trials and the baptism of the fate of the Xuanhuang Realm were just a part of the arrangements made by the Great Immortal Minghao.
What it seeks is undoubtedly to break away from the control of the Great Celestial Immortal Minghao.
"Can you give me freedom?" Ta Ling's eyes were full of disbelief.
It had witnessed with its own eyes the power of the Great Celestial Immortal Minghao. Even if it mobilized all the strength of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, it would not be able to fight against him, let alone Shen Yuan, who seemed so weak in its eyes?
"Why not?" Shen Yuan asked confidently.
Tower Spirit fell into silence for a while, and after a long while, he asked Shen Yuan:
“What do I need to do?”
Although the tower spirit is ignorant, it is not completely ignorant. It knows very well that freedom comes at a price.
However, Shen Yuan's answer once again exceeded its expectations.
"You don't have to do anything."
Shen Yuan shook his head slightly and stared at the tower spirit with sharp eyes.
"After several decades, Great Celestial Immortal Minghao will lose his control over you, and you will have freedom for ten thousand years.
In this process, no one can interfere with you no matter what you do.
If the beast in the tower has any objections, you only need to claim that it was my order and he will not stop you."
"But after ten thousand years, the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower will need my control!"
As the words fell, there was silence between heaven and earth, and the expression in the tower spirit's golden eyes seemed to change.
Finally, the tower spirit's childish voice sounded.
"If what you said is true, after ten thousand years of freedom, I can be at your service!"
A smile appeared on Shen Yuan's lips. He extended his index finger with his right hand, and all the mysterious and yellow energy that evolved the heaven and earth gathered in his palm.
Using fingers as pens and Xuanhuang as ink, the true edicts are engraved in the core area of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.
"Xuan Huang will witness it together!"
The Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda trembled slightly, and there seemed to be a grand sound coming out from the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda.
At this moment, a vast and mysterious aura like a canopy descended from the sky, covering up the vision of the true command.
As the true decree was issued, the long-silent artificial intelligence system finally responded.
Side quest: Climb to the top of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower and leave your own legend in the Xuanhuang Realm.
Mission completion progress: B-1
Do you want to settle the account?
Shen Yuan's eyes fixed, and he looked at the progress of the task completion with some confusion.
I went through a lot of trouble to reach the top floor of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, and even used the help of Emperor Donghua to barely complete this side quest, but the evaluation was only B+, not even A.
“This may be because there is an immortal on the eighteenth floor, and the layout of Minghao Great Celestial Immortal cannot be known to outsiders, and naturally it cannot be spread in the world.
These factors have resulted in the song being less popular and the legend it left behind lacking influence.”
Past experience tells Shen Yuan that the progress of completing this task should be extremely critical.
The artificial intelligence system has never been stingy with rewards for exceeding task targets. The Sage Enlightenment Array and the Tianyuan Secret Order are both products of exceeding task targets.
"It seems that we should still seek to achieve a Grade A completion rate."
"We have reached the top and can no longer go any further. The only thing we can do is to leave a legend behind."
"In this case, then we can only make a big fuss?"
