Early the next morning.
Before dawn, the entire City of the Four Emperors was already in a commotion. A flood of cultivators stepped on the ray of night before dawn and rushed towards the Dayan Pagoda in the center.
Chen Xi, Liang Bing, and Teng Lan also set off. When they arrived in front of the Dayan Tower, the ink-colored sky was pierced by the first ray of morning light.
Dawn breaks, illuminating the universe.
The Dayan Tower, which originally stood silently in the night, was suddenly coated with a layer of blurry and bright luster. It stood high in the sky and diffused the glory, as if it had awakened from an endless sleep.
The auspicious energy is dancing, the divine light is overflowing, and billions of runes are performed in it. The vast vision is like a miracle, which makes people yearn for it. Who built the Dayan Tower here back then? And by what kind of person
Nobody knows.
Even an heir to an ancient family like Liang Bing couldn't give an accurate answer.
It seems that this magical and extraordinary tower has existed since the beginning of the Talisman Realm, becoming the heart of the entire Talisman World and the source of all the merits and virtues in this world.
Chen Xi stood in the crowd, glanced around, and immediately spotted the traces of Luo Zixuan and others, because they were so eye-catching. No one dared to approach the place where they were standing, just like standing out from the flock.
When Chen Xi glanced over, Nan Xiuchong, Chu Xiao, Cao He and others seemed to be aware of it, and turned their heads to look over. When they saw clearly that it was Chen Xi, there was undisguised resentment and murderous intention in their eyes.
Only Luo Zixuan smiled softly, with a hint of deep disdain on the corners of his lips.
Chen Xi remained calm and looked away.
Teng Lan smiled gently and said: "Don't worry, they will never take action before entering the Dayan Tower. Even if they do, they will have to wait until they reach the eighth floor of the Dayan Tower."
Chen Xi was surprised and said, "What's the point of this?"
Teng Lan explained patiently.
In fact, it is very simple. The Dayan Tower is a world of its own, divided into ten floors. The mysterious technique is hidden in the tenth floor.
Every floor in the Dayan Tower is filled with many restrictions and dangerous opportunities. The higher you go up, the more powerful the restrictions and the more dangerous opportunities.
Especially the ninth level, it is like a chasm. For countless years, countless people have been blocked from the ninth level, including some powerful immortals with powerful magic.
However, this is not difficult for the people of the four major families. With the help of the four sacred objects: the Heavenly Ruler, the Sheji Seal, the Zhenjie Tower, and the Dao-Zhanping Sword, they can enter it smoothly.
Of course, just entering the ninth level, whether you can reach the tenth level, in addition to the help provided by these holy objects, also depends on your own strength and luck.
The reason why Teng Lan said that Luo Zixuan would definitely choose to take action on the eighth floor of Dayan Tower was partly because of this reason, but the most important thing was that if he could obtain the Heavenly Measurement Ruler and use it with the Zhandao Sword he already owned, , and the Sheji Seal in the ancient sailors' hands, there is great hope of entering the tenth level.
If it weren't for the loss of the Yin family's Realm-Suppressing Tower, once these four sacred objects are gathered together, there is absolutely a 100% certainty that one can enter the tenth level. Such a thing has happened several times in the history of the Talisman Realm.
Unfortunately, there is only one treasure, and the four major families have enmity and rifts with each other, and they will not willingly give up their own sacred objects for others to use.
After learning all this, Chen Xi finally understood that Luo Zixuan did not take action outside the Dayan Tower because he was probably worried about pushing too hard. If Liang Bingruo left with the Sky Measurement Ruler, it would definitely be more gain than loss.
"In fact, even without the help of a measuring ruler or other objects, there are still people who can enter the ninth floor of Dayan Tower and successfully break into the tenth floor."
A strange color flashed in Teng Lan's eyes, and he said slowly: "Like your cousin A Li, she climbed to the top of the tower alone and took away a mysterious treasure."
Chen Xi touched his nose and sighed secretly. The more he got to know his senior sister, the more he realized that the other party was so strong that he could not even guess what level of cultivation the other party had reached.
Immediately, he suddenly realized a problem and said: "Are there many treasures in the highest level of Dayan Pagoda?"
Teng Lan smiled and shook his head: "Every three thousand years, the Dayan Tower will be opened once. Every time it is opened, a treasure will emerge. No one can explain the reason. Unless..."
"Unless what?" Chen Xi asked.
"Unless one day, someone can take away this tower, maybe he can figure out the mystery inside it." Teng Lan said lightly, and then laughed at himself, as if he felt that he was talking nonsense.
Throughout the ages, the Dayan Tower has stood here for who knows how many years. How many strong men have been lucky enough to be there, but no one has been able to take it away, until now!
Buzz!
At this moment, a clear chant, like morning bells and evening drums, suddenly resounded between heaven and earth, deafening and shocking to the soul.
"It's about to turn on!"
"Quick! Get ready. As soon as the Dayan Tower is opened, charge forward with all your strength!"
"Remember, be careful when entering it. Although the opportunity is great, the danger is definitely not small."
The crowd began to get restless and uproar.
Chen Xi raised his eyes and saw circles of strange ripples surrounding the ancient bronze tower standing in the sky, spreading in all directions.
At the same time, thousands of rainbow bridges flew out from around the Dayan Tower and dropped to the ground, like arch bridges. At the other end of the arch bridge, portals filled with glowing light suddenly opened.
Whoosh whoosh!
Almost as soon as the rainbow bridges appeared, the cultivators present could no longer hold back and turned into black shadows and rushed in. For a moment, the whole scene was in chaos. Some cultivators crowded on the rainbow bridges and had not yet rushed in. As soon as they entered the Dayan Pagoda, they started to move their hands, shouting and cursing.
"Hahaha, Liang Bing, you should understand the importance of the treasures on the tenth floor. Since you don't want to commit yourself to me, let's meet on the eighth floor!"
Luo Zixuan suddenly flew into the air, his long hair flying, his eyes locked on Liang Bing like cold lightning, he laughed and said a word, then turned around and rushed into the Dayan Tower with a group of people.
They had a large number of people, and among them there were Xuanxian-level experts sitting in command. Wherever they passed, everyone around them retreated in shock, appearing extremely domineering and arrogant.
"Let's go in too." Liang Bing gave instructions with a calm expression, chose a Hongqiao, and rushed in with Chen Xi and Teng Lan.
Of course, no one dared to stop him.
Even because of the appearance of Luo Zixuan's group and Liang Bing's group, no one had a choice of the two portals that Hongqiao arrived at.
The reason is very simple. These are the people from the four major families. Following them, let alone drinking the soup, they can't even smell it! Everyone present is not a fool, so naturally they will not follow him.
…
As soon as he entered the Dayan Tower, Chen Xi felt a thick forbidden wave coming towards his face, and even his body sank slightly, as if he was immersed in water.
His footsteps landed on the ground, and he raised his eyes to look at the first floor of the Dayan Tower.
To his surprise, there was only a stone staircase made of bluestone in front of him, which went up layer by layer, leading directly to the top. If he counted carefully, he found that there were exactly ninety-nine floors.
Above it, there is a portal surrounded by light.
Moreover, there is not only this stone staircase on the first floor of Dayan Pagoda, but also in other places. Counting, there are also ninety-nine stone staircases.
If you look down from a high place, you will find that there are ninety-nine portals at the top. There is a stone ladder hanging down in front of each portal, and there are also ninety-nine steps on it.
Between the stone staircases, there are many space cracks, shining in the void, which is extremely frightening. Faced with such space cracks, not to mention cultivators, even immortals dare not cross.
After all, the danger of space cracks is almost universally known. Once you fall into it, you will be instantly crushed by the time and space storm inside, and you will definitely die or not live.
These space cracks are like a natural barrier, making it impossible for cultivators on the stone ladder to replace the stone ladder. In other words, if you choose a stone ladder, you are destined to only go up, and it is impossible to change another one. A stone staircase.
At this time, many cultivators were rushing up the other stone stairs at very high speeds. There were at least a dozen people on the stone stairs and as many as dozens of people, making it extremely crowded.
Similarly, Chen Xi also saw Luo Zixuan and the others, who had already reached the end of a stone staircase, entered the portal, and disappeared.
"ah!"
At this moment, a scream came out.
Chen Xi glanced at him and saw a cultivator in the Underworld Realm rolling down a stone staircase. He was coughing up blood, as if he had suffered some serious injury.
"Hmph! You are overestimating your capabilities. Every step is full of restrictions. If you don't have the strength, don't rush up." Someone snorted with disdain.
"It turns out that I was injured by the restrictions on the stone steps..." Chen Xi suddenly understood. He glanced around and found that on the stone steps, the steps of the strong Earth Immortal were obviously much more leisurely, step by step. Up there, with ease.
On the other hand, those who are powerful in underworld transformation are extremely cautious, and they have to think deeply every time they take a step forward.
"The restrictions on the stone steps are all condensed by the power of the runes in the Dayan Tower. The higher you go, the greater the power. Therefore, it is easier for the Talisman Master here to climb to higher levels than other cultivators. "
Teng Lan explained warmly from one side: "You have seen the power of rune towers in Jinsang Village and Yanchi City. You should understand how powerful the rune power is, and the power of all rune towers in the entire rune world is actually It originates from the Dayan Pagoda in front of us.”
Chen Xi nodded, understanding, but he was still a little surprised in his heart.
The entire Talisman Realm is extremely vast, with countless villages and cities scattered around. The power of the Talisman Towers in these places actually comes from the Dayan Tower. From this, one can imagine how many runes there are in the Dayan Tower. Vast and numerous.
"Since the restrictions within it are so powerful, and only one technique exists at the top level, why do others crowd in even though they know they are not strong enough?" Chen Xi couldn't help but ask.
"It's very simple, in order to earn merit."
This time, it was Liang Bing who answered. Her eyes were like water and she said coldly, "But the most important thing is that in the Dayan Tower, with the power of merit, they can exchange for the things they dream of!"
