Chapter 938: High Tower

It was several days later when Li Luo and his party arrived at the Tianxing Great Plains, the region where the Spirit Phase Cave Heaven was located.

As they entered this area, they could clearly feel that the world around them had become bustling; from time to time, they saw many streaks of light skimming at low altitudes, and various flight vehicles from different factions emerged one after another.

Clearly, these were all headed for the Spirit Phase Cave Heaven.

Such scale and momentum were indeed worthy of being called a grand event for the younger generation of the Tianyuan Shenzhou.

However, what attracted Li Luo and the others' attention the most upon reaching their destination was a massive gateway that appeared in the sky; the gateway seemed to be condensed from the energy of heaven and earth, with countless complex, gray patterns inscribed upon it.

At this moment, this energy gateway was in a closed state, though streams of light were constantly pouring out from the cracks, as if it would open at any moment.

This energy gateway was the spatial passage leading to the Spirit Phase Cave Heaven.

In the void outside the energy gateway, one could vaguely see various mysterious arrays emerging; these arrays covered the energy gateway tightly, and the energy fluctuations they emitted were enough to make even Marquis-level experts tremble.

These mysterious arrays were set up by various top factions, led by the four Heavenly King lineages, outside the Spirit Phase Cave Heaven, primarily to prevent anyone from damaging the Spirit Phase Cave Heaven, and also to check the arrangements of other factions here.

After all, the opportunities within the Spirit Phase Cave Heaven were quite rare; although it restricted the entry of Marquis-level experts, it was extremely important for the younger generation, and to create a secret realm of this level, even the current Heavenly King-level factions in the Tianyuan Shenzhou would likely have to exhaust many of their foundations and accumulations.

On the plain below the energy gateway, there stood high towers of varying sizes, all located in the vicinity of the Spirit Phase Cave Heaven.

These high towers were the footholds established by the various top factions.

The dragon boat carrying Li Luo and the others cut through the sky and headed straight for a high tower at the very front, where guiding experts from the Li Tianwang lineage flew out to lead the dragon boat to a slow landing.

Li Qingpeng, Li Jinpan, and the team leaders from the other lineages also appeared at this time, and they said to the many young people who were looking around with curiosity and excitement: "The Spirit Phase Cave Heaven should open tomorrow. If you are interested tonight, you can look around; now that many geniuses from the Tianyuan Shenzhou are gathered here, it is good to get to know them a little."

"Additionally, in the evening, in the Long Baoxing area, they will hold an auction. This auction is specifically aimed at you young people below the Heavenly Phase stage, and there are some good things in it, such as some rare medicinal pills, spiritual water and strange light, and even Purple Eye treasures, secret techniques, Marquis-level arts, and Marquis imprints."

"If you want to go and see, you must prepare enough Heavenly Amount Gold; the auctions held by Long Baoxing here are often more expensive than usual."

Hearing this, everyone was somewhat moved, and even Li Luo felt a bit of interest; the Spirit Phase Cave Heaven was fraught with crises, and if he could obtain something to improve his strength before entering, he could enhance his own means.

As for the higher prices, one could only say that Long Baoxing was truly pervasive in its pursuit of profit, seizing even such an opportunity.

While Li Luo was pondering, everyone had already entered the high tower, then assigned rooms according to their lineages to rest.

However, the peace on Li Luo's side did not last long before it was forcibly broken by Li Fengyi rushing in: "Little brother, let's go check out that auction. If there is anything you like, sister will buy it for you!"

Seeing her high spirits, Li Luo could not help but smile, and he did not refuse, because he was also a bit interested in seeing if there would be anything he needed at the temporary auction held by Long Baoxing.

So he found Li Lingjing in another room and asked if she wanted to go along. Li Lingjing had originally wanted to rest, but then she thought that it was a mix of dragons and snakes here; although no one should dare to be blind enough to do anything to someone from the Li Tianwang lineage here, she thought about it and nodded in agreement just in case.

Afterward, Li Fengyi called Li Jingtao, Li Fuling, and others, and the group left the high tower, heading straight for the Long Baoxing area.

Long Baoxing had also built a high tower in this area, but their tower was golden, looking very luxurious and imposing, and it was also the most conspicuous.

Outside the high tower was a golden hall, and now there was a dense crowd of people gathering from all directions; clearly, besides Li Luo and the others, many people were interested in the Long Baoxing auction.

When Li Luo's party arrived at the golden hall, they were immediately met by Long Baoxing's attendants. They seemed to recognize the identities of Li Luo, Li Fengyi, and the others at a glance, having likely done their homework on these geniuses from the Heavenly King lineages. Thus, upon seeing these wealthy big clients, they respectfully led them through the first floor and directly up to the higher levels.

The second floor was clearly more luxurious, dazzlingly magnificent, and the crowd here was immediately reduced by more than half, but those who could come here were almost all elites from various major factions.

In the spacious hall, many tables were neatly arranged, and on the tables were crystal boxes circulating with energy brilliance, inside which were placed various items for sale.

On one side of the hall, there were also many delicacies and fine wines for guests to enjoy while viewing the items; the service was truly impeccable.

However, what attracted the most attention on the second floor was not these precious items, but a small circle in the arena. In the center of that circle was a girl with a stunning appearance, like a goddess of the Luo River; her face was exquisite, and every smile seemed to make the treasures beside her lose their luster.

Water Fairy, Qin Yi.

At this time, Qin Yi was surrounded by many heroic and handsome men. These people came from major factions and were considered geniuses in their own right, but now, the looks they cast toward Qin Yi were all filled with a trace of heat.

After all, among the younger generation of the Tianyuan Shenzhou, Qin Yi's beauty was already well-known. At the same time, she had a noble status, coming from the Qin Tianwang lineage, and most importantly, she did not just have the face of a goddess; she possessed a Ninth-grade Water Phase, a talent that also looked down upon many young geniuses.

A girl with both such beauty and talent was naturally a favored daughter of heaven, and it was not surprising that she was sought after.

And when Li Luo cast his gaze toward Qin Yi, she, who was in the crowd, seemed to sense it as well. She lifted her face slightly, and her clear, beautiful eyes, which seemed to ripple with clear water, also looked over.

The two gazes met for a moment, and then both revealed seemingly gentle smiles at each other.

It was just that while the two were smiling, neither noticed that on the railing of the floor above, there was a beautiful figure with a thin veil covering her face, whose gaze had been fixed on Li Luo as if frozen the moment he walked in.

And when she saw Li Luo and Qin Yi smiling at each other, her star-like eyes could not help but narrow slightly.
