Chapter 549: Mechanisms and Heavenly Craft: The Tower of Heaven's Heaven, Immortal Craft Dao Fruit Revelry, Nirvana

The rain poured down, pouring from the high sky.

On the black-tiled eaves, round water droplets dripped, striking the pooled water below, sending ripples spreading like a shattered mirror.

Fēiléichéng.

This small town has now regained its vitality; after seven or eight years, it has changed greatly—once a ruin, once a city sacrificed to the temple god, it has now been fully restored.

Those inhumane atrocities have become gossip among the people's memories.

A dilapidated house stood in the heavy rain.

Li Che put his arm around Zhang Ya's waist, appearing before the house; the couple walked through the rain, people came and went on the street, yet no one saw their shadows.

Li Che looked at the house with a complex expression.

This is the thatched cottage where he had lived for many years after crossing over; here he married Zhang Ya, and Xixi was born in this broken thatched hut.

In the blink of an eye, time has passed; the thatched house has become a fading point in their memories, almost blurred away.

Before leaving the mortal world, Li Che still brought Zhang Ya here.

"My lord... it's been many years, yet this house hasn't changed at all."

Zhang Ya narrowed her eyes, leaning against Li Che's embrace; the couple surveyed the house, smiles full, filled with nostalgia.

Creak.

Suddenly, the thatched cottage's door was pushed open; a woman in worn clothes, holding an infant still in swaddling, gazed into the distance through the rain curtain.

She looked at the heavy rain, worry welling in her eyes, as if worrying about her husband working away...

Pat, pat...

A running voice echoed; a figure wearing a bamboo hat and a patched short jacket darted through the rain, sprinting toward the small shack.

In the process, he accidentally slipped, fell to the ground, and landed hard.

But the man merely gave a hehe laugh, climbed up, walked toward the house, still holding a lively carp, clearly intending to make carp soup for tonight.

Li Che watched the scene with a soft gaze, feeling somewhat dazed.

"It's like a cycle of rebirth—we once lived in that little shack, and now someone else lives there..."

"Year after year, we keep repairing, another year passes."

Li Che laughed, his voice tinged with ease.

The man running in the rain suddenly shuddered, looking around in fright, as if startled by the abrupt laughter.

But the next moment, he lowered his head and madly ran toward his own shabby house.

Inside the house were his wife and child.

Li Che flicked his finger, releasing a stream of light like a drop of water that merged into the rain and fell onto the brow of the child held in the woman's arms.

"Meeting is fate; living in the house our family once occupied is even more fate..."

"Then give the child a fortune."

Li Che gave a light smile together with Zhang Ya's figure, yet they did not materialize from the rain.

Having done all this, he directly took Zhang Ya and left.

As he said, this return was prompted by a feeling; he wanted to see Fēiléichéng, the place where his dream began, to look at the once struggling family's hut.

Coincidentally, the shack still stood, now inhabited by new people who had even borne a child.

Thus Li Che felt joy arise and gave the child a fortune.

"Come on, wife, we should go reunite with our children."

Li Che spoke softly.

Zhang Ya softly hummed, her eyes bright; she looked back at the shack standing firm against wind and rain.

That was a microcosm of their former family.

But now their family is no longer as before; they have become immensely powerful, living excellent lives.

She looked at the woman holding the swaddled infant and seemed to see her former self.

Back then, she was the same… awaiting her husband's return from work.

Recalling the past, there was a different kind of beauty.

Hum——!!!

Li Che brought Zhang Ya away from Fēiléichéng, continuing onward to Golden Light Prefecture City, then returning to Heaven's Origin Dao City, and finally arriving at Shendu.

Just like the trajectory of their family in the mortal world.

Cloud Pavilion.

Li Che returned drifting in, unnoticed by anyone; now he had entered a new realm and domain, the heavenly chessboard unfolding, even the Grand Supervisor could not detect his trace.

Li Che embraced his wife with one hand and slowly raised the other; instantly a pool appeared in his palm, with splashing sounds, flowing water murmuring, sound waves bursting, and a nine-headed dragon shadow emerged!

The Nine Dragon Myriad Calamities Pool was summoned by Li Che; without needing the Kunlun Mirror's power, he could directly open this strange temple.

His wife now walks the Weapon Fusion Method; her limit is actually that of divine weapons, so Li Che also secretly resolved to seek top-tier divine weapons for her.

Of course, Zhang Ya practicing Weapon Fusion Method does not mean obtaining divine weapons allows immediate refinement; it requires a gradual process, slowly tempering divine weapons so her flesh and blood can bear high-quality divine weapons.

However, the Weapon Fusion Method brings extremely rapid improvement in this cultivation process.

It is like sacrificing the limit to achieve a boost akin to pulling seedlings to help them grow.

Boom——!!

A light curtain rose, immense divinity surging like a tide, extremely rich spiritual energy constantly churning.

The Jade Emperor Heavenly Strange Temple opened again.

Li Che brought Zhang Ya directly inside.

When the heavenly canopy closed, the two seemed as if they had never appeared in the mortal world.

Within Shendu.

One after another, figures shot up, breaking through the air.

Xie Yunshen lightly shook his feather fan, his expression solemn; as a spirit-binder, he immediately sensed Li Che's condition, the link between them weakening, signifying that Li Che had entered the Second Sage Guiyi Miao.

Hum——

Grand Supervisor strode forward, his white robes fluttering, standing side by side in midair with Xie Yunshen.

Grand Supervisor's gaze was complex; he had staked the entire mortal realm on Li Che.

But now, Li Che merely patted his buttocks and entered the Jade Emperor Haotian Guiyi Miao, signifying that he might directly enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Entering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is easy, but wanting to return… is difficult.

I don't know… when will Li Che be able to return?

Grand Supervisor also couldn't be sure whether his grand gamble this time would amount to nothing.

However, Li Che had arranged everything in the mortal realm for Xie Yunshen, whose ability to guide the golden lotus of the mountains' and rivers' fortune made him quite suitable.

Grand Supervisor also felt somewhat relieved.

"The realm my lord has conquered…"

"I, Xie Yunshen, will spare no effort to protect my lord's domain."

Xie Yunshen bowed deeply.

Li Che's departure meant that the spirit-binders he had left in the mortal realm lost their bonds; although his will remained, suppressing them on a righteous level.

But… they will eventually fall into chaos.

And Xie Yunshen only hoped not to betray his lord's trust.

……

……

Jade Emperor Haotian Guiyi Miao.

The Guiyi Miao of the Second Sage tier, with celestial pavilions standing tall, immortal mountains stretching across, rosy light stretching for thousands of miles, flowing light and brilliant colors.

Countless phenomena intertwined, resembling a blessed cave of an immortal lineage.

Zhang Ya, swept along by Li Che, entered this Guiyi Miao; the hazy ghostly mist flowed, yet could not conceal the shocking scenery.

Between heaven and earth, divinity was extremely rich, and even the spiritual qi of heaven and earth surged.

Zhang Ya stared, mouth agape, utterly astonished.

"My husband, this is the Guiyi Miao of the Second Sage tier… truly extraordinary! Such rich divinity, I feel that a single breath could match days of my arduous cultivation!"

"But my divinity cannot be released, and my true qi and gang qi are tightly locked within my body, unusable!"

Zhang Ya exclaimed.

Xiao Su Da transformed into a white fox, darting about on Zhang Ya's shoulder.

On the little fox's eyes, a human-like look of astonishment appeared: "Mistress, this is a Guiyi Miao of the Second Sage tier; even placed in the upper realms, it would be a top-tier Guiyi Miao…"

"The entrance is controlled by powerful beings from various divine factions; wanting to enter is extremely difficult."

"Only this Jade Emperor Haotian Guiyi Miao penetrates the three realms, possessing a special nature that even the immortals cannot tread; thus it can link with the mortal realm… giving us a chance to set foot from the mundane world's entrance."

Xiao Su Da curiously surveyed the surroundings.

Even she, in life and as a Nirvana divine spirit, had never entered this Guiyi Miao before.

This Guiyi Miao of the Second Sage is not something one can enter merely by having sufficient cultivation.

It also required sufficient talent; although she had been a Nirvana divine spirit in life, among the many Nirvanas she was unremarkable, otherwise she would not have died, choosing to enter the mortal realm to strive for a great fortune.

Li Che's heart stirred slightly, the Heaven-Earth Chessboard boomingly expanded, shielding Zhang Ya and Su Da's forms.

"One still needs to obtain a divine weapon; only then can one enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

Li Che's eyes flickered slightly.

"Target… Haotian Pagoda!"

The Cinnabar Script Tiger and the Heaven-Sealing Seal; the Heaven-Sealing Seal's requirements are too high, with an Immortal God Emperor's Nirvana reincarnated form seated in guard, making it still difficult for Li Che to obtain it now.

Moreover, the Cinnabar Script Tiger falls short compared to the Haotian Pagoda; Li Che naturally would take the better, not the lesser.

With a stir of his heart, Ink City Fengdu emerged.

After the previous battle with the God Emperor's reincarnated form, the entire Ink City Fengdu had collapsed and shattered; now it is slowly recovering, already having restored about half.

It became more resilient; once fully recovered, the maturity of the Painting Immortal's Dao fruit would have accumulated enough to achieve the Six Transformations.

He took Zhang Ya and Xiao Su Da into Ink City Fengdu.

Li Che's ink robe fluttered, his five fingers spread like a winnowing basket, and he donned the Underworld Ksitigarbha Mask.

His entire demeanor underwent a drastic change, becoming mournful and mysterious; in his eyes, it seemed as if ancient heavenly-earthly symbols were turning and flowing.

Within the Guiyi Miao, regulations are embedded, completely suppressing divinity inside the body, not allowing the slightest leakage; even martial true qi and gang qi cannot be used.

Yet this was Li Che's best disguise.

Taking a step, the Heaven-Earth Chessboard expanded, then determining the direction of the Haotian Pagoda; Li Che's body trembled, his immensely powerful physical form directly shattered the ghostly mist and shot forth.

Although he could not use divinity, true qi, or gang qi, Li Che directly used his mighty physical form to smash through the seal.

Haotian Pagoda.

Located in another direction from the Hall of Lingxiao.

In fact, the layout of the Jade Emperor Haotian Guiyi Miao is actually quite simple, with the Hall of Lingxiao as the main hall area of the Guiyi Miao, and the statue of the Jade Emperor Haotian deity situated therein.

Next, in the four southeast, northwest directions, four divine weapons are respectively placed, though their distances vary.

Some are near, some are far.

Like the Nine Dragon Myriad Calamities Pool that was initially collected, it sits before the Hall of Lingxiao, extremely close.

This time, the Haotian Pagoda lies a hundred li outside the Hall of Lingxiao.

As for the Cinnabar Script Tiger and the Heaven-Sealing Seal, they are even farther away.

Boom—

Li Che's mortal form crossed over, nine immortal markings intertwined, seeming to fully fuse with his flesh, brimming with profundity and the numinous, making onlookers' sight warp and preventing them from seeing reality.

Li Che landed before the Haotian Tower.

Before the Haotian Tower, three figures were already waiting—namely Fu Shaoxi, Ji Shaohao, and Shi Shajia, whom they had encountered before the Nine Dragons Myriad Tribulations Pool.

The three turned their gazes toward the appearing Li Che, their eyes involuntarily flashing with light.

"As expected, you've come!"

"Senior Dizang... you still aren't willing to give up so easily, are you?"

"You wish to try to obtain the second divine weapon and bring it out."

The three were filled with speculation about Dizang's identity, ultimately concluding that this powerhouse must be an immensely powerful Nirvana divine spirit, possibly even a half-step immortal who has begun to grasp the will of heaven and earth.

"Senior!"

Upon seeing Li Che, the three immediately clasped their fists.

In fact, before the Haotian Tower there were not only these three, but several more figures whose divinity was suppressed, their breath curled within their flesh, making them somewhat weaker in aura than the three.

Yet upon their flesh were many Dao-severing markings, clearly they too were divine spirits of the Dao-severing realm.

Perhaps due to the respectful demeanor of Fu Shaoxi, Ji Shaohao, and the three, these people's pupils narrowed slightly, after all the identities they represented were far from ordinary.

The three are of the primordial immortal bloodline, immensely powerful, yet now they are utterly respectful toward a stranger.

Li Che indifferently glanced at the many divine spirits present; the number of Dao-severing divine spirits was far greater than he had imagined.

However, fighting now is impossible; Li Che doesn't mind, as everyone's purpose is to come for the Haotian Tower.

"This is Senior Dizang, a Nirvana divine spirit who has been in seclusion for a long time; in this divine tide's resurgence, he is preparing for the ninth divine tide..."

Shi Shajia pressed his palms together, Buddhist light bursting from his flesh, and spoke softly.

He grew ever more certain that Li Che might be the Nirvana divine spirit of Black Sumeru, so he stepped forward at this moment.

The surrounding many Dao-severing divine spirits drew in cold breaths...

These Dao-severing divine spirits could cultivate in this Two-Sacred Guiyi Miao; evidently their origins were extraordinary, naturally they knew many secrets, thus their hearts were shaken, and their gazes toward Li Che held both wariness and reverence.

"Senior Dizang has already refined the Nine Dragons Myriad Tribulations Pool... He has come to try refining the second Two-Sacred divine weapon, attempting what no divine spirit has ever succeeded in throughout the ages."

Fu Shaoxi laughed heartily.

The originally wary gazes of the crowd instantly relaxed.

It turns out Li Che has already refined a Two-Sacred item at his side?

Then it's fine; Li Che could not possibly become a threat to them.

"Senior... please."

Ji Shaohao's eyes brimmed with anticipation.

They had personally witnessed Li Che refining the Nine Dragons Myriad Tribulations Pool, feeling that this Nirvana divine spirit must have come prepared.

Li Che said nothing more, his gaze falling upon the Haotian Tower.

Buzz— the instant his gaze met the Haotian Tower.

In Li Che's chest, the long-dormant immortal craft Dao fruit, formed from the fusion of two heaven-earth ancient sigils, suddenly began to throb!

Huh?!

Li Che's eyes involuntarily flickered slightly; the entire Haotian Tower, in his vision, seemed to burst forth with ultimate splendid radiance!

The Haotian Tower, nine stories high, each with its own color.

The first layer: black tiles, dark black, covered with ink-jade glazed tiles; the eaves carved with ancient runes, faintly as if the runes had come alive.

The second layer: the black tiles transformed into azure ice crystals, forged into a dome, solidified with stardust, light shining upon it, as if the twenty-eight constellations chart slowly turned, dreamlike and illusory.

Third layer, fourth layer...

Each layer's color differed: some blazing gold, some moon-white, some immortal green, some chaos...

On each layer were carved ancient runes, making Li Che's whole body tremble.

Moreover, the Haotian Tower's architectural style also immersed Li Che; as a demigod divine eagle, he felt a thrill at the sight of prey.

The tower's body employs twelve million nine thousand six hundred heavenly craft mortise-and-tenon joints.

!

Star‑bracket dougong and dragon‑spine purlins, resembling dragon‑scale patterns spread across the structure, made Li Che's hands itch involuntarily, as if he wanted to wield a carving knife.

The immortal craft Dao fruit in his chest throbbed with insatiable greed.

And Li Che's abnormal state also drew the attention of Fu Shaoxi and the others.

Fu Shaoxi watched Li Che's airborne waving and gesturing posture and immediately understood that Li Che was going crazy.

"I never expected... Senior Dizang is also a Divine Eagle Immortal Artisan!"

Fu Shaoxi did not think that a Nirvana powerhouse of Dizang's stature was merely a Divine Eagle Holy Hand or demigod; he must be the most exalted Divine Eagle Immortal Artisan!

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the status of Divine Eagle Immortal Artisans is extremely exalted, for the divine eagles they carve can serve as Dao‑essence god crystals, and even the lowest are god crystals that begin with three‑leaf Dao essence!

And this is merely the beginning; at the Divine Eagle Grand Immortal Assembly of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there are even Divine Eagle Immortal Artisans who carve divine eagles containing Dao essence comparable to seven‑leaf Dao‑essence god crystals!

The gazes of the many surrounding Dao‑severing divine spirits instantly grew ever more reverent.

They could scarcely imagine that the person before them was merely a fledgling who had just ignited his divine fire, stepped into the divine spirit realm, and had not even achieved Dao fusion.

Li Che was immersed in the awe‑inspiring impact brought by the Haotian Tower, a grand edifice replete with heavenly craftsmanship.

The star‑picking pupil at his brow shot forth golden light, scanning the entire pagoda, beginning to parse its structure and memorize the ancient runes thereon; during this scan, the maturity of the immortal craft Dao fruit in his chest actually rose slowly as well!

When Li Che's mind and spirit returned, he could not help but sigh.

"Supernatural craftsmanship, exquisite beyond compare; the Divine Eagle Immortal Artisan who made such a heavenly craft must be of the Great Immortal tier!"

Li Che praised.

"Senior Dizang is right; this Haotian Tower is a Two‑Sacred tier divine weapon... it is on the same level as the Heaven‑Pole Immortal Artifact, and strictly speaking, even higher."

Ji Shaohao responded to Li Che's praise.

Li Che nodded, then the ink robe embroidered with golden lotus fluttered as he stepped forward, directly entering the Haotian Tower.

Boom—

The tower doors boomed shut.

Fu Shaoxi, Ji Shaohao, the three immortal primordial bloodline descendants had gleaming eyes, flowing with essence light.

"Can it succeed?"

"The difficulty is great…… but, judging from his performance in the Nine Dragons Myriad Tribulations Pool, it's hard to draw a conclusion."

"What else is there to not conclude…… failure is destined, just unknown how many layers he can hold out."

"What he chooses to take out of this Guiyi Miao is the Nine Dragons Myriad Tribulations Qi and the Haotian Tower; its grade is not low, the difficulty is great. The Nirvana demon god of my Strange Demon Grotto also once tried this combination, and even after obtaining the Nine Dragons Myriad Tribulations Qi, ultimately failed, falling on the eighth layer of the Haotian Tower."

Fu Shaoxi narrowed his eyes and spoke lightly.

The three fell silent, their gazes turning to the first layer of the Haotian Tower that shone with light.

……

……

Li Che stepped into the first layer of the Haotian Tower.

Regarding the Haotian Tower's trial, Li Che actually wasn't clear; this two-sage divine weapon, in terms of grade, even surpasses the Nine Dragons Myriad Tribulations Qi.

The first layer was very spacious, with myriad mechanism suspending pillars; nine heaven-bearing pillars burst from the ground, soaring into the firmament and penetrating into the second layer.

The sky was azure, with cotton-candy-like white clouds drifting above, giving a feeling of leisure.

And Li Che's gaze fell upon the figure standing in the center of the first layer of the Haotian Tower.

It was a wooden carving; Li Che smelled a scorched fragrance, that of thunder-struck wood, faintly as if lightning arcs were crackling, the lingering echo of terrifying tribulation thunder.

Li Che looked at that divine eagle; the eagle had a dragon's head and human body, cradling a scorched-tail guqin, standing silently, as an invisible wave brushed past, and the guqin emitted a clear sound.

The next moment, that divine eagle actually opened its eyes.

"Defeat Ji, and only then can you see the Emperor."

The statue spoke, its voice booming.

The dragon-bound lute-playing divine eagle, accompanied by the clacking of mechanisms, plucked its strings, and instantly countless starlight intertwined, a star chart disk fell, completely covering Li Che.

Li Che felt that divine power and martial true qi and gang qi were still unusable, with great restriction; that is, challenging the Haotian Tower, only bodily strength could be used.

Boom!

Just as Li Che was thinking,

Behind him, a colossal divine eagle emerged from the shadows—the dragon-bound lute-playing divine eagle hoisted its scorched-tail guqin and smashed down fiercely at Li Che, intending to crush him into a mushy mess, into mud.

Li Che's flesh trembled, the nine tribulation immortal patterns covered his body, his mighty sacred body resonated, his fingers spread wide, and he slammed straight into the guqin.

Thud——!!

The entire pagoda trembled!

Under countless collisions of force, invisible shockwaves exploded, rolling outward in all directions.

Li Che's eyes flashed with essence light, his fingers spread like a hook, and he lifted the scorched-tail guqin.

The towering divine statue, ten zhang tall, flashed with wrathful light upon its dragon head.

Li Che's brow split left and right, and his star-picking pupil burst forth with light.

His gaze swept over the divine eagle statue, shining brightly.

Mighty beyond compare, his meridians trembled, his muscles bunched in layers, granting his body immense power, which shuddered violently.

He fiercely slapped the guqin away, his body twisted, he flipped to the statue's rear, his toe tapped down like a skimming dragonfly, he took three steps, appearing at a spot, and he stomped down heavily with one foot.

Pfft!

Instantly, the enraged statue that had been wielding the guqin stiffened, as if frozen in that instant.

At its spine, a fish-shaped mortise and tenon was revealed, within which an ancient symbol throbbed!

"Divine Eagle's Pivot."

Li Che gave a light smile, flicked his finger, and tapped the protruding fish-shaped mortise and tenon, which instantly exploded!

The entire divine eagle immediately began to disintegrate and collapse, turning into countless tiny wood chips!

Li Che landed, his ink robe fluttering, the white jade earth-store mask on his face bearing a hint of pity.

Before him, flowing light intertwined and sparkled.

【Dao Fruit: Artisan Immortal (lv7, 85%)】

The Heavenly Mechanism Nine Divine Seals fused two ancient symbols, considerably raising Li Che's Artisan Immortal Dao Fruit maturity.

This time, having found the Divine Eagle's Pivot and defeating the opponent with an effortless ease, Li Che's Artisan Immortal Dao Fruit maturity increased somewhat.

Hummm—

Li Che only felt a sudden propulsive force burst from beneath his feet, and the next moment he found himself on the second layer.

His gaze swept over three lion-shaped wooden carvings emitting ultimate scorching flame aura, vividly pacing, their scaled armor etched with peculiar ancient fire patterns, their manes made of wood silk fluttering in the wind.

The fire-devouring Xiezhi divine eagle, likewise a heavenly mechanism art, accompanied by a clacking sound, as the Xiezhi's paw flipped, it revealed wooden gears; the gears turned, and streams of fire-spear divine lances shot forth instantly from afar!

The flame upon those divine lances burned intensely, a mighty divine fire; upon contact, it would inevitably be reduced to charcoal.

Even Li Che couldn't help but be startled, knowing the terrifying power of that flame.

On the second layer, Li Che needed to break the three Xiezhi divine eagles.

Li Che stepped forward, as if sword light burst from his feet; his mighty sacred body, with true qi and gang qi suppressed, executed the Six Desires Void Sword Technique.

The sword light flowed, the person like a sword stream.

It seemed to fully display the spatial Dao's essence.

The Six Desires Void Sword Technique integrates the primordial spatial calamity; it is not merely a sword art, but also a body method!

Li Che's brow split open, he stared straight at the three lion-like beasts, seeking the spirit pivot aperture of the divine eagle.

According to Haotian Tower's rules, one should defeat these divine eagles to continue climbing the tower; for those unfamiliar with the divine eagles, unfamiliar with heavenly craftsmanship, they can only choose to forcefully break through, and the difficulty is naturally extremely great.

But, for Li Che……

Combined with his spatial movement technique, it felt like a leisurely stroll in a garden.

In a moment, approaching the three lion-like beasts divine eagles, Li Che's powerful holy body unleashed a mighty burst of power, swiftly swooping over the heads of the three lion-like beasts; in the snap of a finger, he ejected their hidden mortises, finding their spirit pivots.

……

……

Outside Haotian Tower.

One after another, the Slaying Dao divine spirits were suppressed by Guiyi Miao's rule power, their divinity concealed, and their immensely powerful Slaying Dao fleshly bodies became simple and unadorned.

They stood outside Haotian Tower, gazing at the tower as it began to flash with light.

When Haotian Tower's first layer of light shone, it only lasted a few breaths before dimming; then, as the second layer lit up, many Slaying Dao divine spirits couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.

"So fast!"

Exclamations rose continuously, exploding without cease.

Fu Shao Xi, Ji Shao Hao, and Shi Shao Jia, three descendants of the first generation of immortals, also had their pupils contract.

"The mechanism divine eagle on the first layer of Haotian Tower is comparable to a cultivator who has merged with the Dao; after our divinity is restricted, we can only rely on our fleshly bodies to deal with it, and even with a Slaying Dao fleshly body, we would need at least half a ke."

"This person… almost resolved it in just a few breaths, nearly an instant kill!"

"This shows that this person's fleshly body is extremely powerful, necessarily a Nirvana divine spirit!"

Fu Shao Xi spoke in a deep voice.

This time, the trial of Haotian Tower made them increasingly certain of Earth Store's cultivation.

If we say, the Nine Dragons Myriad Tribulations Pool is merely a judgment.

Then the challenge of Haotian Tower is a genuine, true-to-value comparison.

Moreover, Earth Store senior obtained the Nine Dragons Myriad Tribulations Pool; his trial inside Haotian Tower will be even more difficult!

"As expected of an old senior!"

Shi Shao Jia pressed his palms together, the corners of his mouth slightly turning up with a smile.

This is a powerhouse of Black Sumeru.

Black Sumeru having such a powerhouse is a kind of fortune.

Such a powerhouse is already a top-tier existence below immortality; placed in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, they are a mighty figure!

Whether in Black Sumeru's Spirit Mountain, the Dark Heavenly Court's thirty-three heavens of Lingxiao, or the Ten Thousand Great Rivers of the Guiyao Cave, they are mighty existences!

Everyone stirred for a moment, then continued to stare at Haotian Tower.

The light of the second layer flickered, not lasting long, about ten breaths or so, then the light dimmed and ceased flickering.

Then the third layer lit up……

Half a ke.

The third layer dimmed, the fourth layer's light blazed fiercely!

And the many Slaying Dao divine spirits standing beneath the tower were utterly dumbfounded.

"Is this tower-climbing?!"

"How can it be this fast?!"

Even Fu Shao Xi and the two others couldn't help but be dumbfounded and silent, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Could it be that an immortal has come to climb the tower?

If it is an immortal's fleshly body, naturally it could overwhelm and crush these divine eagles.

But immortals cannot enter this Two Saints Guiyi Miao!

Boom—!!

Suddenly.

The entire Two Saints Guiyi Miao began to tremble.

However, seen outside Haotian Tower a hundred li away, a figure of fleshly body at the utmost strength, even under the seal and suppression of the Two Saints Guiyi Miao, still flickered with some divine light, striding forward.

Though said to be stepping, it is actually no different from a plunging charge, like an arrow shot out, arriving in an instant.

An boundless oppressive feeling, like a mountain flood bursting forth, rolling in!

Boom——!!

When the figure's foot landed, stepping on the ground before Haotian Tower, the entire ground seemed to sink like soft mud.

Among the three immortal descendants, Ji Shao Hao's expression instantly became respectful and fervent.

"Shao Hao pays respects to the God Emperor!"

The comer is precisely the reincarnated incarnation of the Dark Heavenly Court's Immortal God Emperor, currently within the Seal of Heaven, comprehending and attempting to master the peak of Nirvana, a supreme powerhouse.

Perhaps sensing the disturbance at Haotian Tower, the Immortal God Emperor's reincarnation directly opened his eyes and swiftly strode over.

"Don't call me God Emperor; I am now a reincarnation, with a name and surname, you may call me the Nirvana King."

The comer spoke lightly; his mighty aura and pressure suppressed the present Slaying Dao divine spirits, who dared not even breathe.

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a Nirvana divine spirit… is a ruler of a land, a mighty existence!

"Here, pay respects to the Lingxiao King!"

Ji Shao Hao and the others responded respectfully.

"What a fast speed……"

"Even if I were to enter the challenge, I fear it would be about the same!"

Lingxiao King stood with hands behind his back, gazing outward, the divine essence that seeped out like silk threads, like a woven brocade.

His gaze fell upon the Vast Heaven Tower, watching its light constantly flicker and then fade, his brows slightly furrowed.

「Shaohao, this person is the mysterious Nirvana you and I reported? 」

「From the start of the Divine Tide, he has slept until now, an existence awakened in the eighth Divine Tide? 」

Lingxiao King said in a deep voice.

Ji Shaohao respectfully clasped his fists: 「Reporting to Lingxiao King……this is indeed him. 」

「He has already obtained the Nine Dragon Myriad Tribulation Qi; the Vast Heaven Tower is his second target for a Second-Saint Divine Weapon. Once obtained…… he can carry two Second-Saint Divine Weapons out of the Guiyi Miao, unless he dies in battle and falls as a temple god, otherwise these two divine weapons will accompany him for life, never to return to the Guiyi Miao. 」

「What grandeur, the Jade Emperor Vast Heaven Guiyi Miao has been open for tens of thousands of years…… in a situation where the Immortal cannot act, how many magnificent Nirvana kings have failed; this person is likely also unable to succeed. 」

Lingxiao King stood with his hands behind his back, head held high.

As his words fell, his voice still echoed.

Then he saw the light on the eighth floor of the Vast Heaven Tower suddenly fade.

The light on the ninth floor flickered and brightened.

In an instant.

Before the tower, all fell into deadly silence.

(End of Chapter)
