Chapter 137: Nine-Story Jade Tower

~8 min read 1,413 words

A mountain doesn't have to be high; if there is an immortal, it will be famous. A river doesn't have to be deep; if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual.

Yulong Island is a small white jade island with a radius of no more than one mile, and there is a hundred-meter-high white jade mountain on the island.

The mountain is the island, and the island is the mountain.

Looking from afar, the island is shrouded in mist, and the mountain is filled with clouds.

Above the clouds, a nine-story jade tower shines in the sun.

At dawn, Zhang Xingyu and his group arrived in front of Yulong Island.

Looking at the jade island in the sea, the jade mountain on the island, and the jade tower on the mountain, Zhang Xingyu stood stunned for a long time.

A moment later, he said to Zhang Kaixin and Mo Guang: "The Dragon Clan is truly rich. Look at this island, this mountain, this tower, it can only be described in one word. Awesome."

"It's okay," Zhang Kaixin nodded and replied softly.

Mo Guang didn't pay attention to Zhang Xingyu.

He had a dark face, drooping eyes, and hadn't recovered from the gap between being a prince and being a mount.

"Hey, who are you people, what are you doing on Yulong Island?"

A huge shout rang out, and at the same time, a figure flew over from Yulong Island.

This person had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dark complexion, a golden helmet on his head, golden armor on his body, and a golden halberd in his hand, looking very majestic.

"General, we are ordered by Crown Prince Ao Guang to borrow the teleportation array at the top of Yulong Tower to go to the mainland," Zhang Xingyu said to the person.

"Oh. Do you have a token?" The golden-armored guard asked again, knocking the golden halberd in his hand heavily on the ground.

"Crown Prince Ao Guang's task is a secret mission, and no token was granted," Zhang Xingyu touched his empty pocket and replied softly.

"Without a token, you cannot directly use the teleportation array. Go back where you came from," the golden-armored guard widened his eyes and placed the golden halberd in his hand across his chest again.

Zhang Xingyu's mood fell to the bottom. If he couldn't use the teleportation array, it would be difficult to return to the mainland.

Wait, he said he couldn't directly use the teleportation array. Could it be that there is another way to use the teleportation array indirectly?

"General, we are on a secret mission for Crown Prince Ao Guang. If we go back like this, we will definitely be punished by His Highness the Crown Prince. Please be accommodating, General, and give us some guidance."

Zhang Xingyu said while stuffing a small bag into the golden-armored guard's hand.

The bag was open, and it was filled with thousands of second-class demon coins.

Seeing the shimmering second-class demon coins, a knowing smile bloomed on the iceberg-like face of the golden-armored guard.

"Since you are working for the Crown Prince, I will give you some guidance," the golden-armored guard said.

"Without a token, although you cannot directly use the teleportation array, there are other ways. The way is to pass the nine-fold test of Yulong Tower and climb from the first floor to the ninth floor. However, I must remind you that Yulong Tower is full of dangers, and for thousands of years, no one has been able to pass the test and climb to the ninth floor."

"Thank you for the guidance. However, since we are working for the Crown Prince, we must give it our all and try."

At the top of Yulong Mountain, in front of Yulong Tower.

Zhang Xingyu looked carefully at this crystal-clear jade tower.

The jade tower is not high, but it gives people a feeling of spiritual energy.

The tower is shaped like a jade cone, divided into nine sections, in nine colors.

The tower base is deep blue, and the higher it goes, the lighter the color.

The tower body is transparent, and spiritual light flickers faintly.

This tower looks harmless, but it is actually a dangerous place.

According to the golden-armored guard, the jade tower is full of dangers, one level more difficult than the next.

If the entrant cannot break through, they may be trapped in that level and never be able to escape for life.

For thousands of years, hundreds of cultivators have entered the tower, and none of them have been able to come out again.

After looking for a while, Zhang Xingyu didn't hesitate, pulled Zhang Kaixin, and walked toward the tower gate on the first floor.

Dizzy, the scene changed.

When Zhang Xingyu and his group woke up from the dizziness, they found themselves lying in front of a winding little river.

Rippling river surface, clear water to the bottom, strands of water grass floating and swaying under the water.

Across the river was a small village.

A small road a few feet wide, three or five low thatched huts, five or six dilapidated bamboo fences.

Cooking smoke curled, chickens and dogs sounded, children played, what a "Picture of Leisurely Living in a Mountain Village".

"Wow, it's really fun outside."

Zhang Kaixin shouted and ran toward the river.

Not really, he just left the water not long ago, and now he wants to play in the water again?

Not mentioning Zhang Xingyu's muttering.

Zhang Kaixin reached the river, but didn't stop, instead running quickly to the other side.

Feet stepping on water, bellyband swaying lightly, crossing the river without reeds.

In a moment, Zhang Kaixin ran to the other side and rushed toward a group of children playing.

Zhang Xingyu and Mo Guang were dumbfounded.

This place is a bit weird.

Zhang Xingyu wanted to fly by sword, but couldn't use his spiritual energy.

"Let's go, let's go over too."

Zhang Xingyu greeted Mo Guang and walked toward the little river.

Beside him, Mo Guang's legs were like wheels, rushing toward the little river quickly.

"Splash"

Mo Guang fell into the water headfirst.

At this time, Zhang Xingyu happened to reach the shore.

This water is weird. Kaixin didn't fall, but Mo Guang did. Could it be that it's testing character?

Zhang Xingyu thought for a while, picked up a stone from the shore, and threw it hard toward the center of the river.

The stone sank into the water, splashing a series of splashes.

At this time, Mo Guang struggled to stand up from the water, tore off the water grass wrapped around him, and returned to the shore step by step.

Seeing him looking like a drowned rat, Zhang Xingyu couldn't help laughing loudly.

"Mo Guang, isn't your Mojiao clan very good at swimming, how did you end up like this?"

"Hmph."

Mo Guang glared at Zhang Xingyu but didn't answer.

"Mo Guang, haste makes waste, why are you running so fast?"

Mo Guang turned his head and closed his eyes, saying nothing.

"Mo Guang, be respectful to your master, be careful of headaches."

Zhang Xingyu warned.

Mo Guang remained silent.

Waiting on the shore for a while, he didn't see anything unusual in the river.

Zhang Xingyu held the Red Dragon sword and stepped into the river cautiously.

The river water was slightly cool.

Apart from that, there was no other abnormality.

The river was not deep, and walking to the center of the river only reached his chest.

The river was rich in water grass, often wrapping around people's feet.

Zhang Xingyu moved step by step and finally reached the other bank.

Behind him, Mo Guang saw that Zhang Xingyu had no problems, so he followed Zhang Xingyu's example and walked into the river.

After crossing the river, the two went to the village to find Zhang Kaixin.

Actually, there was no need to search, Zhang Kaixin was playing with several children in the grass by the road, catching crickets.

They lowered their heads, bent their waists, stuck out their butts, and formed a circle.

"Kaixin."

Zhang Xingyu called Zhang Kaixin.

"Shh."

Zhang Kaixin raised his head, put his hand to his mouth, and made a gesture for Zhang Xingyu and his companion to be quiet.

Before long, several children cheered.

"Caught it, caught it, caught this Black General."

Just then, a loud shout came from the village: "Time to eat." ===== CHAPTER 138 =====
