Chapter 531: Heaven-Reaching Tower

Hearing Chu Fengping say this, Song Qingming's face also immediately revealed a few points of curiosity.

The "Heaven-Reaching Tower" that Song Qingming knew about was when he was mixing in the Guiyun Market during the Qi Refining stage. Back then, when Song Qingming went out to practice and joined the Flying Cloud Guard, he met many "knowledgeable" loose cultivators in it. It was also there that he heard about the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" for the first time.

Back then, in the mouths of Feng Laogui and the others, the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" was a special channel for communicating with the upper world. The fairy energy inside could make mortals transform into immortals. As long as one could cultivate in the "Heaven-Reaching Tower," even the most ordinary Qi Refining cultivator could eventually sit on the ground and ascend to the heavenly world and achieve immortality in one fell swoop.

Song Qingming was also just an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator back then. Seeing Feng Laogui and the others talking about the legend of the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" with a look of longing, he also had a few points of curiosity about this. Later, he specifically went to the Merit Pavilion of Guiyun Market to find books about the "Heaven-Reaching Tower."

It is just that although there are many records about the "Heaven-Reaching Tower," they can basically be said to be varied. There are records that the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" is a Heaven-Reaching Secret Realm, some say that place is an immortal cave, and some say that place is a forbidden area formed after an ancient heavenly demon descended to the world...

Seeing these ethereal and baseless legends recorded in these books, although Song Qingming occasionally heard rumors about the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" later, he was no longer interested in this place.

This time, when the crowd went to "Seven Star Pavilion," besides Gu Yuncong from yesterday, there was also Liu Zongping, an old acquaintance.

"However, I only know that Uncle Li will definitely take Senior Sister Bai in. As for whether there will be anyone else in the sect going in together, I don't know. Anyway, that place is indeed too dangerous. Uncle Li definitely will not agree to me going in." Chu Fengping finished speaking, his face hanging a shallow smile that was somewhat helpless.

As the only third-grade alchemist in the sect, Chu Fengping is indeed one of the many Elders in the Xiaoyao Sect who is relatively important to the sect. Once the Xiaoyao Sect loses him, this alchemist, the number of Foundation Establishment Pills refined by the sect in the future will definitely drop sharply. This is a matter that will affect the sect's foundation for the Xiaoyao Sect.

Even Jin Dan cultivators like Song Qingming and the others, every time the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" appears, many people will also leave their lives in it forever. Only those powerful Nascent Soul powerhouses who go in will have a certain degree of certainty to successfully walk out of it.

After these two things reached Song Qingming's hands, he also spent time studying them back then, but he never had any clues. Later, they stayed in his storage bag until just now, when he talked with Chu Fengping for a long time about the "Heaven-Reaching Tower," Song Qingming suddenly remembered these two things that had been forgotten in his storage bag.

Besides this, although the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" is full of various opportunities, there are also various powerful mechanisms and restrictions inside. Without cultivation above the Jin Dan stage, it is almost impossible to move an inch after arriving there, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to walk out of it alive.

"Last time in the sect, I also heard Uncle Li mention that the Heaven-Reaching Tower seems to be about to appear in the world. Just now in Seven Star Pavilion, that Gu Yuncong also wanted to inquire with me about which people from our Xiaoyao Sect will enter the Heaven-Reaching Tower this time."

Looking at Song Qingyu and the others who had not returned yet, Song Qingming, who had nothing to do, did not rush to meditate and rest. With a wave of his hand, he took out two spiritual items from the jade token on his waist and studied them carefully in his hand.

Chu Fengping smiled and waved his hand upon hearing this: "Hehe! Junior Brother Song is joking. This Heaven-Reaching Tower only appears once every three hundred years. When it appeared last time, you and I had not yet been born. How could I have been to that place?"

Seeing Song Qingming and Chu Fengping, Liu Zongping immediately stepped forward to thank them and specifically gave them a second-grade spiritual fruit unique to the Star Fall Gate to express his gratitude for saving his life that day.

The legends about the Heaven-Reaching Tower you heard are just rumors spread by those low-tier cultivators below who don't know the truth. Over time, they became the legends in your mouth about immortal caves that allow mortals to ascend to immortality in one step."

Seeing the curiosity in Song Qingming's heart, Chu Fengping did not hide anything next and continued to explain: "Junior Brother Song, this Heaven-Reaching Tower is an ancient relic, at least it should have a history of more than ten thousand years. It is said that it was created by an ancient Soul Transformation great power cultivator after spending a lot of effort before he ascended."

Almost every time the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" appears in the world, it will cause a vibration in the entire Floating Yunshan Range cultivation world. That place is also a battlefield where all forces compete.

"The Heaven-Reaching Tower is an ancient relic existing in the void outside the world. Besides appearing once every three hundred years or so, the location where the Heaven-Reaching Tower appears each time is not fixed in one place. It will randomly appear in some place in the Floating Yunshan Range, and after that, it will only exist for one or two months before disappearing into the void without a trace."

"..."

Although he was still empty-handed for the time being, Song Qingming faintly had an extra feeling in his heart that the iron plate on his body seemed to have some connection with the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" he knew about yesterday. It is just that he cannot determine what use this item has for the time being.

"Hmm! Senior Brother Chu is also right. I said how could such a place exist in this world? Otherwise, what would we people cultivate? We would all just go directly to find such a place and ascend directly." Song Qingming nodded with a smile.

Chu Fengping does not know much about the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" here, and Song Qingming cannot find out much useful information from him. He can only wait until he returns to Wei Guo and have the opportunity to go to the Merit Pavilion to find some notes about the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" to read.

After hearing Song Changze report this matter outside the room door, Song Qingming, who had studied for a whole night without any clues, sighed and directly put away the iron plate and ring in his hand, stood up, and walked out.

Just hearing Chu Fengping mention the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" again, Song Qingming's mind immediately recalled these past events, and a trace of shock could not help but emerge on his face.

Seeing the disappointment on Chu Fengping's face, Song Qingming comforted him repeatedly: "The Heaven-Reaching Tower is so dangerous. People with low cultivation like us will find it difficult to compete for any great opportunities after going there. It is better to stay in the sect safely."

After chatting with Chu Fengping for a while, Song Qingming saw that it was getting late, so he stood up and bid farewell to him and returned to his room.

Not only human cultivators, but many high-tier Demon Kings and even Nascent Soul Demon Emperors among the demon race will also come after hearing the news. There are also some powerful demonic cultivators who will mix in and take the opportunity to enter the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" to search for the spiritual items they need.

"Could it be that the legend of the Heaven-Reaching Tower is really true?"

Early the next morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten, and a shop assistant was sent by Seven Star Pavilion to notify the Xiaoyao Sect crowd living in Guyang Pavilion that the spiritual items Song Qingming and the others needed yesterday were all ready and could be traded at any time.

Moreover, Chu Fengping's cultivation is only at the fourth layer of Jin Dan, and he is not a cultivator who is good at fighting. On the battlefield of the Heaven-Reaching Tower where Nascent Soul cultivators compete, it is both dangerous and will not have much effect. No matter from which aspect Li Mu considers it, it is unlikely that he will take him.

After listening to Chu Fengping explain in detail for about the time it takes to eat a meal, Song Qingming gradually understood some of the situation about the "Heaven-Reaching Tower," and he was also greatly shocked in his heart.

"Senior Brother Chu is right. Not only us, I am afraid that other Senior Brothers will not have the opportunity to be taken by Uncle Li.

This "Heaven-Reaching Tower" is an ancient ruin hiding countless rare treasures; inside, there are even many high-tier spiritual items that are basically extinct in the current cultivation world. It can be said to be a great opportunity for the cultivators of the entire Mount Yunwu cultivation world.

The sect's Merit Pavilion actually contains some records regarding the Heaven-Reaching Tower, but unless one is a Jin Dan Elder of the sect, one is not permitted to browse these handbooks containing important sect information. Therefore, even among the sect's own cultivators, there are actually not many who know the detailed situation of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

Song Qingming and his companion did not refuse this; after both sides completed the transaction for the spiritual items, the two even specially stayed behind to drink tea and discuss the Dao with Liu Zongping and his companion, drawing their relationship closer.

After Chu Fengping sighed slightly, his complexion slowly recovered, and he gently poured a cup of spiritual tea for Song Qingming, who was still pondering something in his mind.

"Oh! So it is an ancient ruin created by a Soul Transformation cultivator. But why do rumors outside say that the Heaven-Reaching Tower is an immortal's cave dwelling that leads directly to the Upper Realm? Has Brother Chu ever been there?" Song Qingming asked again with a look of surprise.

The two items in Song Qingming's hands were a black iron plaque and a small ring of an even darker color. Song Qingming had obtained these two items several decades ago when he went to Mount Bailin to purchase Foundation Establishment Pills, from a Qi Refining cultivator he knew named Hu Daozhen.

Looking at the two characters "Heaven-Reaching" engraved on the iron plaque in his hand, Song Qingming, standing where he was, could not help but fall into deep thought. For so many years, apart from the "Heaven-Reaching Tower," Song Qingming had never heard of anything related to these two characters.

"This iron plaque is clearly not an ordinary object. Could it have been brought out from the Heaven-Reaching Tower?"

At that time, Hu Daozhen and his companions had obtained these two items from an unknown cave dwelling but did not know what they were. Later, after meeting Song Qingming at Mount Bailin, they sold these two items directly to him.

The iron plaque and ring in Song Qingming's hands were clearly not crafted from ordinary materials. Even after becoming a Jin Dan cultivator, Song Qingming had still not seen similar materials anywhere else after all these years.

After staying at Seven Stars Market for more than ten days, the spiritual items that Song Qingming and his group needed to purchase were basically all collected. After discussing it with Chu Fengping, the group boarded the flying boat and embarked on the road back to the State of Wei.
