Chapter 177 Beast Tower
"Are you ready? If you are, let's go in."
Looking at the beast tower in front of her, Gu Xinyan excitedly asked the people beside her.
Recently, a cultivation craze has swept across Yunyang Island. With the blessing of spiritual veins, cultivation has become twice as effective with half the effort. After learning that there was a beast tower there, Murong Ziqing had wanted to come in for a long time.
However, he had been helping his master and elders guide the new disciples to the Qi cultivation stage, so he had been busy until now. Now, looking at the five-story beast tower in front of him, he was so excited that he kept rubbing his hands together!
"Ready? Let's go in! I can't wait!"
"Alright! Haha, let's go then!"
After saying that, the group headed towards the gate of the Beast Tower. This was the Beast Tower they had won in the last lottery, and they hadn't had a chance to go inside and take a look yet. Since they had the time this time, they decided to go in and explore it.
As soon as they got close, the group of seven was sucked into the Beast Tower. The moment they entered, Gu Xinyan was momentarily stunned by the familiar yet unfamiliar scene around her.
She was especially bewildered when her supervisor threw a stack of documents at her and told her to work on them; she couldn't tell if it was reality or a dream.
Simply put, it's incredibly realistic.
"Gu Xinyan, what are you daydreaming about? Organize all of these for me, I need them later!"
Startled by the shout, Gu Xinyan quickly snapped out of her daze, instinctively grabbed the stack of documents, and replied repeatedly:
"Don't worry, supervisor, I'll get it done for you as soon as possible."
After saying that, Gu Xinyan, who was just about to get started, immediately realized that something was wrong.
Shouldn't she be training in the Beast Tower? How did she suddenly end up back in her old company, working like a slave? Holy crap! That's terrifying!
She now understood; it was probably the illusion of the Beast Tower that had pulled her here. Looking at the stack of documents piled on the table in front of her, Gu Xinyan felt her scalp tingling. She dared not recall the days of being a beast of burden.
Whoever wants to organize these documents can do so; she certainly didn't want to. With that thought, she reached out and overturned the stack of documents on the table onto the floor.
Then, amidst the shocked gazes of everyone in the office, she walked out of the company door. This exhilarating, table-flipping move was something she had been planning for a long time.
Unfortunately, she never dared to do anything until she left her job. Little did she know that this wish would eventually be fulfilled in a dream world.
Standing at the company's main entrance, breathing in the fresh air, Gu Xinyan felt completely relaxed. Just as she was basking in the free sunlight, the surrounding scenery suddenly distorted.
The next second, her surroundings transformed into a primeval forest, and in front of her stood a gigantic tiger, glaring at her with eyes that seemed intent on devouring her alive.
This sudden scene startled Gu Xinyan, who was completely unprepared. When she saw it trying to pounce, she instinctively reached for her spirit sword.
But the next second, he found nothing. Not only was his spirit sword not pulled out, but he also lost all his cultivation.
Seeing the tiger so close at hand, Gu Xinyan turned around and ran into the forest.
But her two legs were no match for the tiger's four legs, and she was quickly overtaken.
Just as she was about to fall into the tiger's den, she slipped and fell into a pit. When she regained consciousness, she was sitting in a store, watching a TV series with her legs crossed.
Gu Xinyan: "........."
She really felt that there was something wrong with this illusion. One moment it was a life-or-death race, and the next it was taking her back to the past. That's right, the scene in front of her was the same time when she made a contract with Xiaobai that day!
She remembered that her grandmother and younger brother had just left, and there was no one in the store, so she was happily watching the show. But then everything changed that night.
And so, Gu Xinyan relived the path she had taken in the illusion. After binding with Xiaobai, she resolutely chose to contact the country.
Immediately afterwards, I went on a mission and experienced those dimensions again, but this time my feelings were quite different.
Just as the illusion led her away from the last Cangming Continent, the surrounding space began to distort again, but the other illusions she had imagined did not appear. Instead, she arrived in an empty room.
The room was very large. From a distance, one could only vaguely see the staircase at the far end of the room. Inside the room were several people she knew.
Gu Xinyan was about to speak when, in the next second, she felt as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on her, causing her to fall to the ground.
"Holy crap, what the hell?!"
Lu Yunting and Murong Ziqing, who were a few steps away from Gu Xinyan, couldn't help but chuckle softly upon hearing this. However, seeing Gu Xinyan struggling to get up, Lu Yunting quickly reminded her:
"Xinyan, mobilize your spiritual energy. That will help. This floor is a gravity chamber. You need to use your spiritual energy to resist gravity so you won't be crushed. However, the gravity will double with each step you take. The staircase leading to the third floor is at the end of the room. Take your time."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyan quickly followed Lu Yunting's instructions and used her spiritual energy to resist the gravity. Sure enough, the pressure on her body lessened considerably the next second.
However, it hasn't completely disappeared. Although she's not so crushed that she can't get up, she still can't stand up and can only sit on the ground.
After a while, she gradually got used to it. She slowly channeled her spiritual energy into her meridians, and after each flow of spiritual energy, she felt as if the gravity had lessened slightly.
After repeatedly tempering her spiritual veins, she was finally able to stand up, and she tried to take a step forward.
With a "smack!", Gu Xinyan was slammed down again. This time, the gravity felt even stronger than before, and every step she took felt like carrying a mountain.
Gu Xinyan, who was pressed to the ground, could only start flushing her meridians again. The gravity chamber on the second floor of the Beast Tower was truly extraordinary.
Just as the three of them were slowly moving towards the stairs, Li Chendong and Gu Xinya and the other three also emerged from the illusion. The moment they came out, they were also pressed down and unable to get up, just like Gu Xinyan had been.
"Sister Xinya, are you all alright?"
Seeing the others enter in the same pose as she had just done, Gu Xinyan couldn't help but smile and asked with concern, suppressing a laugh.
"What is this thing? How can it be so heavy?!" Li Chendong was pressed to the ground, looking utterly hopeless.
"This floor is a gravity chamber. With each step forward, the gravity doubles. You'll need to mobilize your spiritual energy to cleanse your meridians to feel better," Murong Ziqing explained with a smile.
