After arriving at Zhizhi Mansion, Xue Kong's mind was fully alerted and full of caution. He was no longer as relaxed as before. He walked slowly through the city gate and entered the huge city.
What appeared in his eyes were not the houses and attic buildings commonly seen in the city, but black towers standing in the vast sand.
The towers are pitch black and more than ten feet high. Each tower has seven floors, like small black mountains standing on this vast sandy land.
Looking around, there are countless identical black towers.
Around the endless black tower, there were figures of monks shuttling back and forth.
Sometimes they entered the tower, and sometimes they ran out in fear. There were even many black towers that people could enter but not exit. Even if there were cultivators who could come out of some black towers, they were all injured.
The Demon Lord of Baofu practiced magic all his life and committed countless murders. Compared with him, Xue Kong was just a drop in the ocean. Even though a person with such a strong demonic nature was besieged by Yuanying cultivators and seriously injured, he did not give up on himself before his death.
He personally built four caves here, each of which contained treasures, but each was also filled with murderous intent.
The murderous intention arranged in this mansion is the simplest one.
It is also the most troublesome and time-consuming one.
Among the countless black towers on the sand, only one contains the real treasure. All the other black towers are traps that are far greater than the treasures, and they all contain shocking murderous intentions.
It is precisely because of this that even though the six great Jindan cultivators of Jingwu Kingdom came in person, and most of the highly skilled cultivators of Jingwu Kingdom came here, and even in the past few decades, they have not been able to fully understand this mansion.
It is not easy to find the real treasure place among these countless black towers.
"They were able to find the black tower that truly hid the treasure thanks to the head of the Three Immortals Sect. It was he who used the Seven Star Fire Formation of the Three Immortals Sect to attract the stars from the sky, paying a huge price to achieve the result."
"Even so, he only calculated the approximate location of the black tower. It took him more than ten years to find it."
"But, I'm afraid they would never have imagined that there was someone who had not only entered there a long time ago, but had even used the things inside and learned a technique that the Demon Lord of the Treasure Mansion had deliberately left behind."
Memories kept flashing through Xue Kong's mind. In his memory, the first time he entered the Demon Island gave him a great shock. In this island, a demon was created who embarked on the path of becoming the Demon Lord of the Treasure Palace.
Fortunately, that person did not search Zhizhi Mansion too thoroughly.
Deep in the black tower, there is a spiritual herb. That spiritual herb is exactly the goal of Xue Kong's trip. It can help him condense the seventh level of the Tao platform and enter the late stage of foundation building.
The memories in Xue Kong's mind gradually faded away, his eyes brightened, he raised his feet and walked towards the countless tall towers.
The Demon Lord Baofu has set up a formation in this city. Even the Jindan cultivators cannot fly or use the Five Elements Escape Technique. This is a grand event carefully prepared by the Demon Lord Baofu, just to narrow the gap between cultivators.
To produce more killings.
This is the evil taste of a devil.
At this moment, in front of the black tower where the real treasure is hidden, two figures are walking from a distance.
The two people were a man and a woman.
The man looked middle-aged, wearing black and red tights. Even when walking on the sand, each of his steps was very steady, and a faint sense of pressure emanated naturally from him.
That was the pressure of a Foundation Establishment cultivator when it was not concealed.
The woman next to her was dressed simply, with a lily hairpin in her bun. She had beautiful features and a cinnabar mark between her eyebrows.
The woman smiled faintly and said, "You and I have similar cultivation levels. In this Zhizhi Mansion, only cooperation can bring us success."
"Of course. Although my cultivation is only at the initial stage of foundation building, my Yue Family Villa is famous for its mechanical puppetry. I have recently found black iron ingots, Xiaguang grass, and Rongtian liquid."
The man laughed and said, "With these three materials, I will soon be able to create my Yue family's top-level mechanical puppet. By then, I will be able to kill even an enemy in the middle stage of foundation building."
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Hao. Since you want to kill Xue San, I will naturally not try to win him over. No matter how bright his future is, he is currently just a Qi Condensation cultivator. I can still distinguish between the important and the unimportant."
Hao Miaojun smiled and said, "I feel relieved with your words. Once we enter this treasure trove, I will protect you and help you make the mechanical puppet."
The owner of Yue Family Villa smiled and nodded. The two of them walked forward together and, together with some other cultivators, walked into a black tower and entered the treasure place.
The two of them met in Guanglan City and had no intersection before entering the Demon Island. In fact, their relationship was not good for a while because the owner of Yue Family Villa tried to win over Xue Kong at the gate of Guanglan City.
It was not until they met by chance outside this mansion and felt the danger of the Demon Island that they decided to join forces to explore this mansion. As for Xue Kong, he was forgotten by the owner of Yue Family Villa.
In his opinion, the Qi Condensation cultivator might have died on the Demon Island, and the matter of winning him over was still uncertain. How could he be compared with a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was about to join forces with him?
Without hesitation, he agreed to Hao Miaojun's suggestion to join forces. The price was that when he met Xue Kong, he would kill Xue Kong and the storage bag would belong to Hao Miaojun.
The owner of Yue Family Villa didn't know what Hao Miaojun was up to, but he didn't mind and agreed directly.
The leader of the Three Immortals Sect calculated the range of the black tower. When the treasure was found, many cultivators were present. This location was not a secret.
However, compared to the fierce competition among those with high cultivation here, some monks with low cultivation prefer to enter other black towers in an attempt to find other opportunities.
Most of those who have the courage to enter this treasure trove are foundation-building cultivators.
After a long time, Xue Kong came quickly from a distance. He looked up and glanced at the black treasure tower, then looked around and said, "It's definitely here."
He paid no attention to the other monks and walked into the black tower.
The scene inside the tower is different from that of ordinary towers. Not only is it bright, but there is even blue sky and white clouds.
The sun was high in the sky and there was yellow sand on the ground. Looking around, Xue Kong still saw a desert that stretched as far as the eye could see.
If Xue Kong had not been mentally prepared, he would even have thought that he was back outside the city.
He looked back and saw a black tower standing behind him.
"The magic of a Nascent Soul cultivator is truly beyond my comprehension. Even though I've lived two lives and entered this black tower several times, entering it again now still astonishes me."
"This isn't an illusion, but rather an effect similar to teleportation. This tower is a self-contained space... Perhaps it would be more appropriate to consider it a formation."
Xue Kong looked at the entrance to the black tower and said, "If we turn back and enter this entrance, we will be back to that city, outside the black tower."
"In and out, quite mysterious."
Xue Kong turned around, took a deep breath, and walked towards the endless desert. There was also a formation suppressing him here, making it impossible to fly or use any escape techniques.
