Chapter 560: Xuanwei Heaven - Tower of Heaven

~7 min read 1,304 words

The next day, a faint rumble echoed from all directions in the sky.

The magnificent giant star once again spewed spiritual qi towards the capital. Chen Xun and Black Bull were still lying back in their chairs, looking somewhat uneasy, unable to accept such a massive object hanging above the sky.

"The spiritual qi in all directions of the capital is so abundant it's almost dripping, and this star just keeps going."

Chen Xun cursed under his breath, trying to convince himself to accept it. "Bull, let's set off for the Tower of Babel. I heard it's a bit far, so let's buy tickets."

"Moo~" Black Bull quickly nodded, got up, and placed some spirit stones on the table.

The man and the bull then stepped into the air, leaving behind the faintly bitter aroma of tea on the table, its lingering taste long-lasting.

The Tower of Babel is located to the northwest of the capital, in a somewhat remote area.

Yet, it is quite lively here, with the noise from both the sky and the ground enough to make a cultivator's head buzz.

The surrounding Refining Pavilions are very popular, with large clans or powerful sects even setting up bases around here, welcoming immortal path experts from various regions to join through the Babel List!

The Tower of Babel is a place where many young talents from small clans shine brightly. If they can make a name for themselves here, their path in the immortal way will be much smoother after joining a great power.

Although the Babel List was established by gathering the strongest of past generations, each generation surpasses the last, with records on each level being refreshed every few decades or centuries.

There is no longer the absurd notion that past cultivators were invincible, as the immortal path has developed to the point where no one can surpass the sages of the past. That would be regressing.

At this moment, countless cloud pathways shimmered with a faint light, and beings from myriad clans descended from various magical artifacts, exuding a sense of vigor and looking around.

The sky was filled with rising winds and swirling clouds.

The most eye-catching were still those local superpowers of Xuanwei Heaven.

They have their exclusive air routes, and from time to time, you can see a grand group of people disembarking from the Domain Crossing Space Boat.

The surrounding cultivators looked on with envy, as these exclusive routes cannot be bought even with spirit stones. They are reserved for forces that have made significant contributions to Xuanwei Heaven's immortal path.

It is not only a symbol of power but also of seniority in the world of immortals.

Such things cannot be achieved by a single generation reaching the pinnacle of the immortal path; it can only be said that the current younger generation benefits greatly from the glory of their predecessors.

At this moment, Chen Xun and Black Bull also disembarked with excitement, overlooking the endless mountains, lakes, forests, and paradises below, a breathtaking scene like a painting.

They even wanted to take another ride, as the vastness and grandeur of Xuanwei Heaven were beyond imagination, certainly not just a single immortal city; there was even an ocean here.

"Bull, Tower of Babel, get the Image Stone ready!"

"Moo~~!"

Chen Xun and Black Bull exclaimed as they looked into the distance. They were already in the clouds, yet they still had to look up, unable to see the top of the tower, its oppressive presence comparable to that of the giant star.

The Tower of Babel stood high in the sky, towering into the clouds, its height seemingly infinite, making it impossible to discern its true size.

Tall stone pillars surrounded the base of the tower, seemingly supporting the entire structure.

The tower was enveloped in layers of auspicious qi and a vast sea of clouds, like a magnificent array of colorful clouds swirling around, the clouds rolling and shifting, constantly emitting a peculiar glow, making the tower appear and disappear, forming a majestic scene.

The fierce wind blew, and the auspicious qi floated, gradually revealing a glimpse of the Tower of Babel.

It seemed to be constructed from blocks of pitch-black strange stones, each stone exuding a steady strength, yet appearing to suppress the heavens and earth!

Unknown runes were carved on it, yet they seemed like the most pure and natural immortal path symbols formed by the heavens and earth.

These exquisite runes emitted a faint blue glow, each line vividly depicted by the heavens and earth, twinkling like a galaxy, as if containing some profound truth of the universe on their surface.

Chen Xun and Black Bull were dumbfounded, their hearts filled with awe.

Even seeing just a part of it, they could feel the solemn and majestic aura emanating from the tower, the shock and grandeur of the grand world resonating in their hearts.

Unreachable, reverence for the heavens and earth...

This thought suddenly appeared in Chen Xun's mind, but he couldn't hold back any longer. He tried to express his feelings upon seeing this magnificent scene with all his knowledge, and finally uttered two words:

"Holy crap..."

"Moo~~"

Chen Xun and Black Bull seemed to snort, and this exclamation didn't stop throughout their journey, but they had to admit that witnessing these grand scenes had cleared much of the gloom in their hearts.

They slowly smiled crookedly and descended, as the Tower of Babel region did not restrict flying.

...

On the ground, it was a vast plain, but there were pavilions scattered everywhere, with inspectors leading groups of people passing by from various places, and even immortal palace inspectors patrolling.

This place was a battleground for the young talents, full of youthful vigor and many conflicts. If anyone dared to disrupt the rules here and affect others' cultivation, they would be judged and detained on the spot!

Thus, literary duels thrived here, and if you saw a large group of extraordinary cultivators in a tense standoff in an open space, don't worry, they were just seeking mental clarity and would never resort to violence.

Beside a vendor, many cultivators gathered, their eyes shining with intense interest.

And the vendor owner, you didn't see wrong, was a Unity cultivator!

In front of him was a pile of strange stones, varying in size, some as small as a fist, others as tall as the Wild Vein Clan.

These strange stones all had one thing in common: divine sense could not penetrate them.

Moreover, the stone patterns were ancient, exuding a wild aura, easily recognizable as 'Heavenly Hidden Stones' from the Wild Heaven Region.

"Fellow Daoists, a small Heavenly Hidden Stone costs one hundred mid-grade spirit stones for a cut, the larger ones vary in price, depending on your insight, hehe."

"A few days ago, a fellow Daoist cut out a long-lost exotic insect egg from the grand world. I only cut with this stone-cutting blade thirty-six thousand times. These Heavenly Hidden Stones were just brought from the Wild Heaven, not easy to come by."

This Unity cultivator, with a middle-aged appearance, was quite composed. "Although they can't compare to the Heavenly Hidden Stones in the gambling stone houses of the great powers, this is all about luck, and it adds a bit of color to the Tower of Babel journey."

He smiled slightly after speaking. The reason for choosing this spot to set up a stall was naturally because there were many wealthy patrons.

What is a young talent? It's a synonym for the wealthy, with a vast supply chain of cultivation resources behind them.

A cultivator without a background, even with an immortal spiritual root, would only blend in with the crowd if cultivating alone. But setting up a stall under the Tower of Babel is a sure win!
