Chapter 1136: I Am Here, Ascending Straight to the Cloud Summit

Two helmets were placed in front; this was the virtual space.

"Daoist Master, would you like to experience it now?"

Hong opened his mouth and said.

"Senior, if you wish to enter the virtual space, you only need to lie down there, put on the helmet, and your Yishijiu Society will enter the virtual space directly."

Zhu Xi, who was standing to one side, explained.

"Then let me give it a try."

Fang Yu showed a somewhat interested expression, walked over, and put on the helmet as Zhu Xi had said.

"I'll go in together with you, Daoist Master."

Hong also walked over and put on the helmet.

At once, two figures appeared on a boundless silver land—one was Fang Yu's Yishijiu Society, the other Hong's.

As far as the eye could see, above this stretch of silver land was the starry cosmos, displaying countless brilliant stars, and the entire silver land was as smooth as a mirror.

"Daoist Master, in this virtual space, the sky is the starry heavens and the ground is silver land. The only building we can see in the entire virtual space is that seven-story Trial Tower in the distance—that is where many students undergo their trials."

Hong opened his mouth and said. As far as the eye could see, there indeed stood a Gao Song that pierced the clouds, and the entire tower was carved with image after image, as if all manner of strange beasts were coiled around it.

"This is something unearthed from ancient ruins, called the Trial Tower. After we enter it, only our Yishijiu Society descends, and this place will automatically match us with a physical body of identical constitution—normal punching force of ten thousand kilograms, speed of 150 meters per second, neural reaction speed at the superior grade of an initial War General level."

Hong opened his mouth and said.

In fact, without Hong's reminder, Fang Yu also felt that his current body was extremely fragile, as if he had returned to the Physical Body Secret Realm. However, Hong's body was equally fragile, with a punching force of only ten thousand kilograms.

A punching force of ten thousand kilograms seemed to be only about the strength of four or five Xuanhuang steeds.

"Here, every person who arrives has the same physical constitution. When I come in, I also have this kind of body. No matter how powerful one's body is in reality, it is the same in the virtual space. This is a kind of fairness, and also a kind of challenge. If you, Daoist Master, entered with your real-world body, where would there be any talk of a trial?"

While speaking, Hong invited Fang Yu to the Trial Tower in the distance.

In just a few steps between them, the two quickly arrived before the first floor of the Trial Tower.

Hong pointed at the Trial Tower ahead and spoke: "Although this Trial Tower is an ancient-civilization relic I obtained, even with my own strength I never broke through to the 7th Layer. Using the same body, breaking through the Trial Tower, the difficulty increases by a great deal. Daoist Master may give it a try—using this most basic body to clear the trials might perhaps help you comprehend the principle you wish to comprehend."

Hong said to Fang Yu.

"Comprehend the principle I wish to comprehend in this Trial Tower using the most basic body? I'm afraid that would be rather difficult. The principle I wish to comprehend requires the continuous elevation of physical-body strength and spiritual strength—only then might I gain even a little enlightenment. Clearing the trials with a body like this feels like being thrown back to before I began to cultivate. Still, I can give it a try."

Fang Yu sensed Hong's good intentions, a smile appearing on his face, and he stepped directly into the pitch-dark entrance of the first layer.

"I wonder how many layers Daoist Master can break into. I only ever broke through to the 6th Layer."

Hong did not enter, but instead watched Fang Yu's departing back.
