Chapter 583: Heaven-Reaching Ten Thousand Spirits Decision
Senior Xuantian stared at Song Qingming for a few moments, then continued to explain: "Ever since I was ordered to stay in the Heaven-Reaching Tower, although I have long since forgotten how many years I have spent inside here, at least it should have been over ten thousand years, right?
Although I am an artifact spirit and do not have the worries of lifespan, staying here for a long time always makes one feel a bit bored. The Heaven-Reaching Tokens in your hands were things I refined here when I was bored, used to attract many outside cultivators to come to this place.
Roughly every thousand years or so, I will take out a few and scatter them into the cultivation world below. People who come here holding a Heaven-Reaching Token can directly enter the second floor of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion to compete for some spiritual objects I have prepared for them.
As time went on, more and more people were able to enter the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion. During this period, I have also invited many people to come into the third floor to accept this inheritance that I have been guarding, but until now, I have not found a single person who meets the requirements."
Senior Xuantian, as an artifact spirit, as long as the Spirit Treasure he was attached to was not damaged, could live forever. Hearing that the other party had stayed in the Heaven-Reaching Tower for over ten thousand years, Song Qingming did not feel any surprise in his heart.
However, hearing that the people selected by the other party before were all those who came in holding Heaven-Reaching Tokens, logically speaking, there should have been many Nascent Soul cultivators inside. Even geniuses of the cultivation world like them were not suitable, so how did Senior Xuantian take a fancy to him this time?
"Senior, then the reason you chose me this time, could it be because of that ring!"
Senior Xuantian nodded slightly at Song Qingming and said: "Little friend is right, that is indeed the case! The Heaven-Reaching Ring ring you brought is something that was brought out from inside here by someone I once chose a long time ago."
"So that's how it is! I consider my natural talent to be low, and before, I was indeed a bit confused as to why I would be chosen by you. Now it seems it was thanks to the blessing of this Senior."
Hearing Senior Xuantian explain the question he had always been confused about, Song Qingming couldn't help but sigh in his mouth.
Senior Xuantian looked at Song Qingming with some deep meaning, then continued to say: "Back then, this person could also be considered the one among all the people who entered here that I felt had the most outstanding natural talent in all aspects.
I originally thought that he should be the successor to the mantle I had been waiting for for many years. Unexpectedly, in the end, he still failed to complete the test and return here, and this Heaven-Reaching Ring also fell into your hands."
"I do not dare to hide it from Senior. The junior also obtained this object and that Heaven-Reaching Token from a marketplace a hundred years ago. I remember that at that time, those few Qi Refining cultivators said that these two things were found by them from a cave dwelling near the Floating Cloud Mountain Range.
At that time, the junior also did not know what these two things were, so I did not ask them much. Now that I think about it, the owner of that cave dwelling being able to hold these two things should have some relationship with this Senior.
It is a pity that over a hundred years have passed; those few Qi Refining loose cultivators who found the cave dwelling are probably already dead. Wanting to figure out the cause of this matter is also not very possible."
Senior Xuantian waved his hand and shook his head: "This matter does not matter. Since he could not return, it proves that he is indeed not the person I should be looking for, so he and I have nothing to do with each other anymore.
As for you, to be honest, based on your aptitude, I certainly wouldn't take a fancy to you. For so many years, I have also looked for many people with various excellent natural talents. Expecting you to complete the test that even they couldn't complete is indeed a bit too difficult for you.
However, since you have already arrived here, I must give you a chance. The three cultivation techniques you just chose are only a small part of the inheritance of the owner of this cave dwelling. The other main inheritances are actually in this painting before your eyes.
However, if you want to go in and obtain this complete inheritance, you must practice a cultivation technique he passed down to the late-stage Nascent Soul. This is also the test left by him back then.
Up to now, among the cultivators who have accepted the test, the one closest to success was the one who held the Heaven-Reaching Ring back then. When he came in for the last time, he had only just practiced this cultivation technique to the mid-stage Nascent Soul."
"May I ask Senior Senior Xuantian, when you last saw that Senior, what was his cultivation?"
"His cultivation had already reached the ninth layer of Nascent Soul at that time, only one step away from entering the Soul Transformation realm. It is a pity that he failed to complete the test in the end. Otherwise, if he could have entered the painting and obtained the inheritance left inside, with his aptitude, breaking through to the Soul Transformation stage one step further should not have been difficult."
After Senior Xuantian finished speaking, he smiled, turned around, shook his head, and sighed with some regret.
Hearing Senior Xuantian talk about the inheritance existing in the painting, which could actually help break through to the Soul Transformation realm, Song Qingming was also slightly excited in his heart.
However, his current cultivation was only at the Golden Core realm, and the distance to the Soul Transformation stage was still a bit too far.
Moreover, according to what Senior Xuantian just said, even a great expert at the ninth layer of Nascent Soul with overflowing natural talent failed to complete this test. It can be seen that the cultivation technique that needs to be practiced certainly won't be as simple as he imagined.
"Alright! I have basically told you what should be told. Next, I will first pass the part of this cultivation technique before the Nascent Soul stage to you. If, when the Heaven-Reaching Tower opens next time, you are lucky enough to enter the Nascent Soul realm, at that time, I will pass all the subsequent cultivation techniques to you."
Just after Senior Xuantian finished speaking, without waiting for Song Qingming to agree, he waved his sleeve lightly, and a golden light flew out, directly entering into Song Qingming's sea of consciousness.
Very quickly, Song Qingming felt that there was an extra golden scroll in his sea of consciousness, with the five black characters "Heaven-Reaching Ten Thousand Spirits Decision" written on it.
"There is one more point you must remember: there is a special restriction on this cultivation technique. Similarly, it cannot be passed on to others, including the words I said to you today; you can only remember them in your heart.
Your cultivation is still too low now. If you let others know, I'm afraid it will bring you some disasters!"
Hearing this, Song Qingming nodded, then bowed and cupped his hands: "Many thanks for the reminder, Senior. The junior will definitely remember it!"
"Hmm! What I should say here has all been said. The subsequent matters can only depend on your own good fortune. Next, if you have no questions, then I will send you out directly!"
Just after Senior Xuantian finished speaking, and was preparing to raise his hand to cast a spell, Song Qingming hurriedly stepped forward and interrupted him.
"Senior, wait a moment. Nowadays, there are Nascent Soul cultivators everywhere outside. It is truly too dangerous for the junior to go out now. Could I ask Senior to directly send the junior outside the Heaven-Reaching Tower."
Facing Song Qingming's request, Senior Xuantian smiled, shook his head directly, and replied: "I only control part of the restrictions in the tower and cannot yet directly send you out of the tower now.
However, you do not need to worry. I can see the situation in every part of the tower at any time, and I certainly won't intentionally send you to those Nascent Soul cultivators."
After Senior Xuantian finished speaking, a white light shot out from his hand again. After this white light flew into mid-air, it only took a moment to turn into a white scroll.
Immediately following, under Senior Xuantian's control, the white scroll slowly opened in front of Song Qingming, and various scene patterns with different images began to emerge on it.
Among some of the patterns, figures occasionally flashed or fought. Only after Song Qingming looked closely did he discover that the various scenes depicted in the painting were precisely the scenes in every part of the Heaven-Reaching Tower at this moment.
"I can send you to any position on the ninth floor. Where to go next, you can choose for yourself!"
After Song Qingming scanned the scroll quickly, he originally wanted to find a quiet and uninhabited place on it directly. Unexpectedly, when his gaze saw two figures fighting on a scene on the second floor of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion below, he suddenly stopped.
After staring at that scene for a moment, Song Qingming took a deep breath, turned around, cupped his hands to Senior Xuantian, and said: "Senior Senior Xuantian, I do not know if the junior can make one more request of you."
"This! As long as it is within my ability, I can consider it.
However, you must not count on obtaining anything else from me here. All the cultivation techniques and spiritual objects here have had restrictions placed on them by the original owner. Each person can only take away three items at a time; you cannot take out more."
After Senior Xuantian finished speaking slowly, he scanned Song Qingming thoughtfully again.
Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately shook his head and said: "Senior, please rest assured, the junior has no such intention."
"The junior has a good friend who is traveling with me. Just now, I saw that she seems to have encountered some trouble on the second floor of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion and is finding it difficult to escape. I do not know if Senior Senior Xuantian can take action to help resolve the siege and send her out with me!"
"You are talking about that red-clothed girl above?" Senior Xuantian looked at the place on the scroll that Song Qingming had just looked at, and asked with some interest in his tone.
Song Qingming immediately nodded slightly and said: "Not bad! The junior being able to enter the ninth floor this time is actually all thanks to her. If it weren't for her help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the opportunity to see you, Senior."
"Alright! I can help you once, but I cannot directly take action to help her drive away the enemy. If you want to help her escape, you still need to take action yourself!"
——
Second floor of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, in a secret room.
Huo Feng, who was wrapped tightly by a very thick group of blood-colored mist, was struggling to activate the red flames circling her body, resisting the constant erosion of the blood mist beside her.
At this time, on Huo Feng's face, because of the constant invasion of the poisonous blood in the blood mist, many places had gradually developed a trace of strange blood-red color, and she had long since lost her previous calmness.
With her brows locked, she also knew that the opponent was truly much stronger than her. If she continued to fight, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to hold on for too long. In her heart, she was constantly pondering how she could drive away the enemy and escape next.
The Blood Demon Old Ancestor, who was constantly driving the blood mist on the side, looked at Huo Feng, who was already at her wit's end in the blood mist. The sinister smile that had already appeared on his face became even more intense.
"Hehe! Being able to support for so long after being poisoned by my blood poison, I have to say, you truly make me a bit surprised. However, next, you should also come to an end."
A very good family-style story, everyone can take a look.
