Chapter 397

Luo Tian said, "I've already finished refining it."

"Ah?" The scholar was stunned instantly.

Finished refining?

He thought he had misheard.

He knew the difficulty of refining the Book of Heavenly Mandate.

According to his estimation, three days would be the limit to finish refining it.

But how much time had passed?

And Luo Tian had finished refining it?

Are you kidding me?

Luo Tian saw his doubt, waved one hand, and the ball of light appeared in Luo Tian's hand, allowing him to control it at will.

Seeing this scene, the scholar was completely shocked.

"Really... finished refining?"

For a moment, the look he gave Luo Tian was completely different.

"Such a short time, this is too outrageous, right?" he thought to himself.

"By the way, what is this thing?" Luo Tian asked curiously.

The scholar was stunned for a long time, and after hearing Luo Tian's words, he came back to his senses and said, "Reporting to Master, this object... is the core of Mount Sumeru!"

"Core of Mount Sumeru?" Luo Tian was stunned for a moment.

The scholar explained, "That's right, Mount Sumeru... is actually an Immortal Artifact, and to use this Immortal Artifact, you need to refine this core!"

Luo Tian asked in surprise, "Immortal Artifact? The whole mountain is?"

The scholar nodded.

Saying this, he glanced at the Book of Heavenly Mandate again and said, "Master has read the contents of the Book of Heavenly Mandate, right?"

Luo Tian nodded and said, "I read it, but I didn't understand it; it was all some inexplicable scriptures."

The scholar smiled and said, "That's right, the Book of Heavenly Mandate written by the old Master is a string of incantations for a restriction! If it's not the person chosen by the Master, wanting to force a read will result in being instantly wiped out!"

"However, if someone can read all the incantations completely, the restriction of the Book of Heavenly Mandate will also be unlocked, releasing the core of Mount Sumeru!"

"Master, you have now refined the core of Mount Sumeru! So now, the entire Mount Sumeru is yours!"

After the scholar finished speaking, he bowed again.

Luo Tian finally came to his senses, closed his eyes, and sure enough, he felt the connection between himself and the entire Mount Sumeru.

"Actually... it can be like this?" He was shocked.

"Master, I must remind you of one thing: although you are now the owner of Mount Sumeru, please temporarily do not take Mount Sumeru away from this space," the scholar said.

"Why?" Luo Tian asked, looking at him.

Mount Sumeru was already his; if he couldn't take it away, what was the point?

The scholar hurriedly explained, "Because the old Master used Mount Sumeru to suppress the Sea of Yellow Springs! He once said back then that as long as the person suppressed under the Sea of Yellow Springs is not destroyed, Mount Sumeru cannot leave this space; otherwise... there will definitely be disaster in the world!"

Hearing this, Luo Tian also remembered the legend of the Sea of Yellow Springs.

He couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is under the Sea of Yellow Springs?"

Hearing this, the scholar immediately said awkwardly, "This, actually I don't know either."

"You don't know? Aren't you a tower spirit?" Luo Tian frowned and asked.

The scholar said, "Master, you may not know, but this Heavenly Mandate Tower, and the few of us tower spirits, were all created by the old Master on his deathbed!"

"Before we gained sentience, the layout of the Sea of Yellow Springs and Mount Sumeru had already been formed! And the old Master at that time had already suffered irreversible injuries, so he only told us a few things before he passed away."

"I only remember that he said a few words about the Sea of Yellow Springs, saying that under the Sea of Yellow Springs, there is a great terror hidden. His generation tried their best and could only seal it, unable to wipe it out."

"Only the new owner of Mount Sumeru has the possibility of killing that guy!"

Hearing this, Luo Tian asked in surprise, "Is that guy that strong?"

The scholar nodded and said, "That's right!"

Luo Tian nodded and said, "Alright, when I reach the Sky Soaring Realm, I'll go kill him, otherwise he'll be trouble now."

"Ah?"

The scholar was dumbfounded.

Sky Soaring Realm?

Kill the great terror under the Sea of Yellow Springs?

Are you kidding me?

On the other side, Luo Tian suddenly took out the box he had taken from the fourth layer from his bosom and said, "What's inside this thing?"

Before, he had robbed... no, won the reward in the fourth layer.

He wanted to know what was inside, but the tower spirit below didn't want to explain it to him at all and drove him away.

Now, he finally had the opportunity to ask.

Seeing this, the scholar was stunned and then said, "This... is a Thousand-Year Pill, a type of elixir that can extend one's life by a thousand years after consumption. However, to attract people to challenge the tower, she threw the keys outside."

Luo Tian's eyes lit up.

Thousand-Year Pill.

An elixir that extends life by a thousand years?

This is a good thing!

After all, the age of some elders in the Luo family is not small.

If these elixirs are in hand, it is enough for them to cultivate to a breakthrough with peace of mind.

The scholar looked at Luo Tian and said, "Does Master want to go find the key?"

Luo Tian nodded.

The scholar smiled and said, "Then, how about I send Master into the secret realm where the key is hidden?"

Luo Tian readily agreed.

The scholar immediately put his hands together and began to form seals.

The next instant, a spatial passage appeared in front of Luo Tian.

"Master, going out from here, you can go directly to the secret realm! We tower spirits cannot leave the Heavenly Mandate Tower and cannot accompany Master together, please forgive me!" the scholar said.

Luo Tian nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll go myself!"

"Respectfully send Master off!" The scholar bowed and watched Luo Tian step into the spatial passage.

But just at this moment...

"Boss, are you there? I'm in trouble!" The voice of the first-layer tower spirit sounded in the scholar's ear.

"Hm?" The scholar was stunned and then merged directly into the Heavenly Mandate Tower.

The next instant, he appeared on the first layer of the Heavenly Mandate Tower.

"What's wrong?" He looked at the first-layer tower spirit light ball and asked.

He saw the light ball flickering, and it said in an uneasy voice, "Boss, look at this tower-guarding phantom..."

The scholar took a look at Luo Tian's phantom, and his eyes widened instantly.

"Master?" the scholar said in shock.

The light ball said, "What Master? Where is the Master?"

The scholar took a deep breath and said, "Don't talk about this first, you said what happened to this phantom?"

The light ball sighed, "Sigh, this phantom, I made a mistake when I was making it; it's too weak, I estimate it can't block anyone!"

Just at this moment, several strong auras came from outside the Heavenly Mandate Tower.

The light ball said, "Look, people are coming in immediately, this phantom estimates it can't block even one!"
