Chapter 604

"This, I am not very clear on,"

Including Including Feng Qingcang shook his head. "In any case, it must be extremely formidable; otherwise, the Holy Land would not send people every time it opens, and specifically the strongest batch from the Marquis-Sealing Mirror."

"From ancient times to the present, the Holy Land has always held the highest ranking on the Tower; no one has ever been able to surpass it."

"All powers under heaven are beneath it. Only about two hundred years ago did an accident occur, where one person reached the ninety-seventh floor, standing shoulder to shoulder with the former most outstanding Holy Land Chief Disciple, who is now the Holy Master of the True One Holy Land!"

Hearing this,

Meng Changqing's heart stirred.

About two hundred years ago?

Combined with what he knew, it was very likely... the Zhang Sect!

"Who was that person?"

Meng Changqing asked.

"I don't remember clearly; it seems he also came from the Southern Region."

Including Including Feng Qingcang thought for a moment and said.

Back then, he had not gone, so he was unclear about the specific situation.

And the opening of the Heaven-Connecting Tower has no fixed time; it might be an interval of a hundred years, a thousand years, or perhaps just over ten years.

That must be it.

Meng Changqing nodded.

At the same time, his gaze shifted slightly.

Truly the most outstanding disciple of the Zong Sect in history, as described by the Second Senior Brother; he could actually match the current Holy Master in his youth, neither surpassing nor falling short!

But what happened later?

Why did he end up in such a state?

"Listening Rain Pavilion."

Meng Changqing recalled the words of the Grand Elder.

If you are prepared, go to the Listening Rain Pavilion; there you will find everything you wish to know.

In the Central State.

The intelligence capability of the Listening Rain Pavilion is second only to the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion, and its strength is also unfathomable.

Meng Changqing's plan was to first go to the Black and White Academy to increase his strength, and then go to... the Listening Rain Pavilion!

"Thank you, Master Feng, for informing me; otherwise, I truly would not have known the news about the Heaven-Connecting Tower."

Coming back to his senses, Meng Changqing said with a smile.

"Head Meng is too modest; this matter can also be known once you arrive at the Black and White Academy. Now it is just knowing it a bit earlier,"

Including Including Feng Qingcang immediately waved his hand. "However, this news only came from the Black and White Academy in the last few days; it is understandable that Head Meng did not know."

Meng Changqing immediately understood.

No wonder the Grand Elder had not mentioned this to him; it had only just been spread.

"Three years later, then."

Meng Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Heaven-Connecting Tower; he must enter it. A legendary Holy Artifact! If he could obtain it, it is unimaginable what degree of help it would bring to cultivation!

Additionally, there would be a heaven-defying spiritual object capable of repairing the root bone.

Not only his aunt, but also Senior Brother Yun Buju could return to the path of cultivation.

Three years of time.

It is actually quite ample.

But the premise is that he must have the help of the Joyful Zen.

The Marquis-Sealing Mirror is already the seventh realm of cultivation!

The difficulty of cultivation can be imagined; even a world-shaking prodigy possessing Rank One root bone would need at least seventy or eighty years to complete it.

Although Meng Changqing possesses perfect root bone, three years is still a bit too tight.

But if the Joyful Zen is present, then there is absolutely no problem.

Effortlessly!

Strictly speaking, Meng Changqing's cultivation speed can be said to be incomparably fast.

How long has it been since then?

Three years?

From the Tempered Meridian Realm, step by step, he reached the Marquis-Sealing level.

Those outer sect disciples back then might still be cultivating in the Tempered Meridian Realm.

"I wonder how many layers Head Meng will be able to reach in the future."

Including Including Feng Qingcang said with a smile.

"Try to go as high as possible."

Meng Changqing answered modestly.

But in his eyes, firelight surged.

That was -- ambition!

"The Heaven-Connecting Tower stirs the clouds from all directions; this time, I cannot miss it."

Including Including Feng Qingcang did not notice Meng Changqing's gaze.

Instead, determination appeared on his face.

Whether he can step onto the King's Way.

To make the family a top ancient clan depends on whether we can encounter corresponding opportunities within the Tower of Heaven.

They chatted for a while longer.

The banquet then ended.

——

The next day.

Meng Zhangqing bid farewell to Including Including Feng Qingcang and continued his journey.

Screech!

The Azure-Feathered Phoenix spread its wings and vanished into the firmament.

"Truly a prodigy."

Including Including Feng Qingcang withdrew his gaze and could not help but sigh again.

Last night, he re-examined the battle; some things became even more shocking the more he thought about them.

To possess such a foundation at such a young age is truly terrifying.

"In the Tower of Heaven three years from now, this youth will absolutely shine once more."

Including Including Feng Qingcang looked forward to it with great anticipation.

He then flew off in the opposite direction.

"Family Head, where are you going?"

A clan member asked.

"That fellow ranked last is about to break out of seclusion; I must drive him down."

Including Including Feng Qingcang's voice drifted over faintly.

The Heavenly Ranking is one spot per person.

Once defeated, one does not drop down a rank but is instead knocked out entirely.

Therefore, the loser must find someone else to challenge.

Victory grants the corresponding rank.

"Glory to the Family Head!"

The clan members immediately beamed with joy; if successful, the family could remain on the Heavenly Ranking, though resources would be far fewer.

——

On the broad back of the Phoenix.

Meng Zhangqing sat cross-legged and lightly slapped his head.

He had been affected by the matter of the Tower of Heaven last night.

【89】 He had actually forgotten to add Including Including Feng Qingcang as a friend.
