Chapter 238: Star Tower

"Wu, how much has your body's integration progressed?" Xiao Yu asked.

"About 90%; the remaining 10% is harder, estimated to need roughly a hundred years." Wu said.

"Alright, then these Mechanical Puppets are all yours." Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Inside the World Ring there are not only various Mechanical Puppets, but also several F-level Pyramids and E-level Pyramids.

There are also some F9-level Metals, G-level Metals, and all sorts of others; the value of just these metals reaches nearly five billion Mixed Yuan Units.

Later Xiao Yu also inspected the World Rings of Bing Ren and Liu Li Wang, and naturally assigned the statistical work to Wu.

"The total value of various starships, weapons, materials, and treasures inside Bing Ren's and Liu Li Wang's World Rings amounts to about 1680 hundred million Mixed Yuan Units."

"Hmm, this harvest is good; the resources for cultivating the clan and the Earth Lineage are sufficient." Xiao Yu nodded with satisfaction and instructed: "Wu, separate the items you will use for yourself, and gather the remaining resources suitable for cultivating my Xiao Family and the Earth Lineage. After we return to Earth next time, I will provide a treasure vault for the clan and the Earth Lineage."

Although Xiao Yu's recent tower‑sacrificing expedition was perilous, it yielded abundant gains.

"Wow! This Star Tower is actually nine light‑years tall—so huge! A single tower is many times larger than the entire Yan Ji Continent," Wu exclaimed.

The body of the Star Tower is shrouded by a nebula vortex, as the tower frantically devours endless energy, creating the peculiar sight of a nine‑spiral nebula.

Deep within this nine‑spiral nebula, even the Universe Venerable dares not enter rashly, for death would be certain.

"From now on, this appearance shall be called 'Ape Three Sword'!" Xiao Yu thought.

Then, as his intention shifted, the Divine Armor of the Venerable instantly turned blue.

"The system altered my Life Breath and Soul Breath," Xiao Yu thought.

The "Three‑Eyed" identity has been exposed and can no longer be used.

One sees a towering, majestic Star Tower that seems to cover half the universe, floating in the starry sky.

The void rippled with faint undulations.

【One million Wish Gold Coins have been deducted!】

Then an invisible energy enveloped Xiao Yu's entire body; his Life Breath vanished, and he radiated a majestic aura.

Within the nine‑light‑year Star Tower, countless Sealed Stars are nurtured; yet unless a Sealed Star voluntarily emerges or is manipulated by Pu Ti, even the Lord of the Universe cannot forcibly take those 'Sealed Stars' from the Star Tower.

The interstellar traversal succeeded.

The appearance also changed from the San Yan Shikong form to that of a three‑meter‑tall ape, covered entirely in dense golden hair.

"Only the Lord of the Universe can enter the depths of the nine‑spiral nebula. Moreover, the Star Tower nurtures the treasure 'Sealed Star'; each original Sealed Star is the size of an ordinary planet, and once refined, it can be used to seal strong beings," Wu said.

【The wish has been fulfilled!】

Thus Xiao Yu transformed into a blue‑armored golden ape, while the Virtual Universe System continuously monitors his aura changes.

The exterior scene is virtual.

"This Star Tower is truly wondrous! It doesn't seem natural; rather, it feels like a man‑made super treasure," Wu continued.

"Haha, Wu, you are really perceptive; this Star Tower is indeed a treasure, otherwise how could it nurture a Heavy Treasure like the Sealed Stars?" Xiao Yu laughed.

Within the Star Tower, the hundreds of thousands of Seal King Strong Ones mostly harbor a hint of greed, hoping they might become the lucky ones to obtain a Sealed Star.

Across countless epochs, there have always been a few lucky individuals who happen to encounter the emergence of a Sealed Star, but each emergence triggers a storm of bloodshed, causing many Seal King Strong Ones to fall.

"The Star Tower body is divided into nine levels; the first level at the base lacks a nebula vortex, and it has nine entrances. Numerous Human Race and Alien Tribe Seal King Strong Ones casually enter through any entrance," Wu said.

"Who wouldn't be moved by such an Ultimate Treasure? Not only these Seal King Strong Ones, even the Lords of the Universe who stand atop the major races are equally eager," Xiao Yu smiled slightly, "but they have already tried countless methods; they cannot make the Star Tower recognize a master, so they can only leave it there."

The Star Tower appears relatively close, yet in reality the starship took more than ten days to reach the base of its body.

During the ten‑plus days aboard the starship, Xiao Yu continuously experimented with the various functions of the Space‑Locking Wrist.

The Space‑Locking Wrist has already recognized its master; with a thought from Xiao Yu, it activates.

Minimum range: a 10,000‑kilometer radius area, space seal.

Around Xiao Yu, the starship and the void contain faint Void Sacrificial Secret Patterns; these are Void Secret Patterns that are essentially indestructible.

These patterns, when punched, result in nothing. To destroy a Void Secret Pattern, one must first destroy the Space‑Locking Wrist.

Through the Eye of Law in Xiao Yu's right eye, one can clearly see that within a 10,000‑kilometer radius, spatial fluctuations have become uniform, forming a resonant state that only the Lord of the Universe can break.

……

Base of the Star Tower body.

A blue streak of light halted, and the blue‑armored golden ape Xiao Yu stood before the entrance.

"Let's see if it can recognize a master," Xiao Yu chuckled lightly; facing a Strongest Supreme Treasure that even a Divine King can wield, claiming indifference would be false.

He extended his palm to gently touch the edge of this massive tower gate, a hundred million kilometers high; a chill brushed him, but there was no reaction at all.

Xiao Yu felt slightly disappointed, consoling himself, "Haha, still an illusion."

Without cultivating the Nine Tribulation Secret Scripture, even Xiao Yu, though an Earthling, could not succeed; moreover, even Luo Feng endured inhuman pain when his Space‑Locking Wrist recognized him.

Now Xiao Yu possesses a system and a treasure‑crafting system, enabling him to forge superior artifacts; the only limitation is the laws he has comprehended.

Shaking off the swirling distractions in his mind, Xiao Yu prepared to thoroughly explore the Star Tower.

As Xiao Yu traversed the vast Star Tower, each step spanned tens of thousands of kilometers; though he didn't use Instant Teleport, the distance was comparable.

At his current speed, even a corporeal body could easily reach light speed, and with time‑manipulation abilities, achieving actual superluminal travel within the Primordial Universe is possible.

The interior of the Star Tower resembles a colossal skyscraper, composed of countless rooms; each room is a Forbidden Space, and every Forbidden Space is secretly linked to others.

Countless Forbidden Spaces are constantly in motion, meaning that once Xiao Yu enters one, even if he remains still, his coordinates continuously shift over time.

Within a Forbidden Space, neither Probe Instruments, world projections, nor Law Domains can penetrate; even Instant Teleport can only be performed within the same Forbidden Space.

In other words, once inside a Forbidden Space, to exit one must use a Divine Kingdom teleport; otherwise, one must wander from one Forbidden Space to another.

Xiao Yu stepped in and immediately entered a Forbidden Space; the portal entrance had already sealed and vanished, revealing a Forbidden Space filled with endless ocean.

Whoosh!

The sea churned, and tides tens of thousands of meters high surged.

Xiao Yu looked down; beneath the sea, it seemed as if a massive monster were bursting forth!

"Xiao Yu, the Star Tower is fraught with danger; every Forbidden Space may harbor peril," Wu said.
