Chapter 1429

Golden Immortal-level reward!

Golden Immortal spirit treasure!

Holy shit!

Xiao Feng was overjoyed.

Knowing Yunchu Shan had money, I didn't expect it to be this rich, actually giving away for free an equipment of the same level as the Heavenly Dao Whisk!

Currently, the highest-quality equipment on the Sacred Relics Ranking is the Heavenly Dao Whisk, which is rank 7, and can be called an Ancestral God treasure, also called a Golden Immortal spirit treasure, or star‑rank equipment in the sci‑fi universe.

Second place is the Diamond Bracelet, a perfect Divine King artifact, a top‑grade True Immortal spirit treasure, or the sci‑fi universe's 'true planetary‑rank' equipment.

The Slay‑Dao Sword cannot be ranked because it is not Xiao Feng's own possession.

If he chooses equipment this time, he will surely surpass the Diamond Bracelet, become first or second on the Sacred Relics Ranking, and by himself sweep the top three spots.

However...... compared to equipment, he is actually more inclined to learn skills.

Before sparring with Xun Shuang Xianzi, he had agreed with the Fishing Elder that if he won, the Fishing Elder would also teach him the last three swords of the Seven Swords of Kaitian.

But unfortunately, he lost.

Thus he lost the chance to learn Secret Arts of rank 5 or higher.

If he could learn even a single move here at Yunchu Shan, that would also be acceptable.

Golden Immortal‑level Secret Arts are definitely rank 5 or above, possibly even rank 6 or 7!

"Senior Ji, I don't know which Secret Arts I can choose; what rank are they?" Xiao Feng asked.

Ji Xingge pointed at the tower ahead and said, "The Transmission Tower has seven layers; mental methods are few, mostly it transmits Secret Arts. The first layer is rank‑1 Secret Arts, the second layer rank‑2, and so on. With your strength, reaching the fifth layer should not be difficult; if you can reach the sixth layer, I will let you take a rank‑6 Secret Art."

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up.

There really is a rank‑6 Secret Art!

However, it seems not so easy to obtain.

"From what you say, senior, does climbing this tower also require passing a test?" he asked.

Ji Xingge nodded slightly: "Each floor's stairs are a kind of test; obtaining them by strength is the fairest."

Hmm, indeed quite fair; if one's strength is insufficient, even learning a rank‑7 Secret Art cannot be used, and this design is very reasonable!

"Then should I go now?" Xiao Feng felt a little eager, unable to restrain his excited heart.

Ji Xingge laughed: "You can go whenever you want. However...... little friend, won't you consider it? A Golden Immortal spirit treasure is also not bad; what you can obtain in the tower may not reach this quality."

Golden Immortal spirit treasures are rank 7, while the Transmission Tower has strength requirements; he might only obtain rank 5, a difference of two tiers in value.

One can only choose one of the two; if you give it up, there will be no chance to regret.

Xiao Feng shook his head and smiled: "Equipment and magic weapons are ultimately external objects; learning more skills is what matters most."

Besides, equipment can be farmed elsewhere; with his strength, killing a Divine King is now not difficult, so he need not worry about good gear.

Secret Art skills are different: the later the stage, the scarcer the sources; they basically don't drop from bosses, and sect exchanges offer at most rank‑3; wanting high‑level Secret Arts is as hard as climbing to heaven.

Equipment gets gradually phased out as level rises, but high‑quality skills do not.

Even if he only obtains a rank‑5 Secret Art, its value in the later stage will surely be higher than that of a Golden Immortal spirit treasure, at least not worse!

If he could get a rank‑6, or even rank‑7, that would really send him soaring!

"Very good, very good, then go in; you must come out within twelve hours, do not linger too long, otherwise the Transmission Tower will forcibly expel you."

Ji Xingge said to him.

"All right, then this junior will first go in to try his luck!"

At this moment Xiao Feng was full of enthusiasm, he threw Da Bai onto the mountain and walked toward the treasure tower.

Although this Transmission Tower has only seven layers, each layer is 10 meters high, which counts as a fairly large building.

The main gate was tightly shut, making forced entry impossible.

Ji Xingge pointed a finger from afar; the gate didn't open, but instead a vortex‑shaped portal appeared.

This way of opening made Xiao Feng raise his eyebrows, and he became even more curious about what lay inside.

Upon stepping into the vortex gate, the sight inside immediately startled him greatly!

This is actually a Sumeru space tower!

From the outside, the tower's base is at most a few tens of meters in diameter; with his speed, he could cross it sideways in an instant.

But upon entering, he saw before him a huge chamber several hundred meters in diameter, filled with countless bookshelves!

"So many Secret Arts!"

Xiao Feng was shocked; he looked around and saw that each bookshelf stood about 3 meters tall, with at least several dozen Secret Arts on each.

Some are paper books and sheets, some are wooden slip scrolls, some are hanging scrolls, and there are even some oddly shaped objects.

Without exception, they are all rank‑1 Secret Arts!

This hall alone has at least several hundred bookshelves, each holding dozens to over a hundred Secret Arts; the total number……

Wouldn't that mean at least tens of thousands?

It could even be tens of thousands!

Tens of thousands of rank‑1 Secret Arts……

Just thinking about it is terrifying!

"Yunchu Shan is truly rich and powerful, no wonder it's called the number one sect of Kyushu!"

If one says that previously learning Yunchu Shan had at least six Dao Ancestor legacies, what it brought him was a surprise in quality.

Then what he feels now is a shock in quality!

Under the Dao Ancestor's gate, it is indeed extraordinarily terrifying.

I just don't know which human ancestor is the master of Xun Shuang Xianzi and the Wu Xin Dao Zun.

Despite being shocked, Xiao Feng has no interest in rank‑1 Secret Arts.

He only had 24 hours, couldn't waste it; after glancing twice, he immediately headed straight for the stairs.

The interior of the Transmission Tower is a Sumeru Space, its structure unlike that of a regular tower; the upward staircase is very high and long, appearing to have a depth of over 300 meters, enough to make an ordinary person gasp from exhaustion after climbing it once.

Xiao Feng wanted to fly up, but discovered that flying was prohibited here.

He went up on foot, and after a few steps, a streak of black energy suddenly appeared at the end of the stairs.

The black energy resembled ink, coalescing into a humanoid shape without a face, gripping a sword in its hand.

Obviously, this is the tower's guardian spirit.

【Transmission Tower Second Floor Guard】

Level: 650 (Tribulation Stage)

HP: 1 trillion/1 trillion

Note: Defeat it, and you'll qualify to enter the second floor.

HP of 1 trillion, equivalent to a fairly strong intermediate deity; to reach the second floor you need this kind of strength, so the difficulty is still quite high.

But for Xiao Feng, it poses no challenge at all.

The Ink Shadow Guardian turned into an afterimage and swooped down, moving like ink in water, its trajectory extremely beautiful.

But this beauty lasted less than two seconds before Xiao Feng killed it with a single source needle.

After easily dispatching the gatekeeper, Xiao Feng climbed to the second floor.

The second-floor hall remains just as large; the number of bookshelves is slightly fewer, but still many—roughly estimated at no less than 30,000 copies of Tier‑2 Secret Arts.

Skills of this level, even if all players on the server combined, are mastered by fewer than 50,000 people.

One can imagine how terrifying the foundations of Yunchu Shan are!

Xiao Feng didn't linger, continuing toward the stairs to the third floor.

At the end of the stairs, another Ink Shadow appeared, its level raised to 800.

【From now on it'll basically be five chapters a week, with occasional bursts; sticking to seven chapters a week is really too exhausting—I've held on for half a year, but I can't keep it up anymore】
