I practice cultivation cautiously in a strange world

Two months passed in a flash.

Chen Lin ordered his mother to rule the country from behind the scenes, and asked Wei Qing and five other elders to support him. He passed the throne directly to his newly born son, and retreated behind the scenes to become the emperor.

He declared to the outside world that he had no interest in the throne.

He had a feeling.

I’m afraid I won’t come back after entering the holy tower this time. I had planned to explain more, but in order to avoid panic, I didn’t say too much.

even so.

It also caused quite a bit of turmoil.

However, this action was consistent with his character. Even Chen's mother was not surprised. The transfer of power was very smooth.

night.

The moonlight is like water.

Chen Lin brought Kaguya to the foot of the holy tower.

"Are you ready?"

"There's nothing to prepare. At worst, we can just keep quiet."

Kaguya didn't care to speak.

Then he looked at Chen Lin, "But you, your life or death is uncertain, are you really willing to give up the kingdom you have fought for and pursue something illusory?"

Chen Lin looked at the holy tower.

He said calmly: "For me, building a kingdom is as easy as taking something from a sack. In comparison, these illusory things are more interesting. Besides, my wife must be resurrected."

Kaguya's eyes flickered.

But he didn't say anything more. He glanced at the full moon in the sky, then walked towards the gate of the holy tower holding the jade pendant in his hand.

Chen Lin followed closely behind.

As soon as one foot stepped into the door, I felt a suction force.

The next moment, he appeared in an open space.

Chen Lin was not panicked by this.

In the past two months, he has sent several groups of experts into the tower, and combined with the records in the royal books, he has gained a certain understanding of the situation inside the tower.

The danger level increases rapidly from the fourth floor, each level is more exaggerated than the last. So far, the strongest person has only reached the seventh floor.

Only one person.

It was his father Chen Wentian.

The half of the jade pendant that Kaguya's soul resided in was what his father got from the seventh floor.

“Swish!”

While he was observing the surroundings, a dark shadow appeared out of nowhere and stabbed Chen Lin in the head.

Chen Lin dodged it.

After a closer look, I found that the black shadow was a swordsman dressed in black. He looked no different from a normal human being, and the dagger in his hand was the same as a real sword.

He nodded slightly.

This is the same as what we learned.

There is no extraordinary power in the tower. Neither the challenger nor the tower defender can use methods beyond the scope of mortal martial arts.

However, the higher you go, the more tower defenders there are. In the end, one person may have to face thousands of troops. It is basically impossible to pass all nine levels.

Observed for a while.

After confirming that it was the same as what he had learned before, he drew his sword and cut off the opponent's head with one blow.

There is no blood.

There was no screaming.

The black-clad swordsman exploded with a bang, turned into a ball of black mist, and slowly disappeared.

"Don't waste time on these low-level illusions. Go directly to the next level. There is a time limit for breaking through this tower. You must save time for the last three levels."

Kaguya came over.

He greeted Chen Lin and flew forward.

"You seem to know this place very well. Could it be that you have been here before you deposited the jade pendant here?"

Chen Lin asked after catching up.

Kaguya didn't look back.

He answered directly: "After this tower was built, all the cultivators in the world were sucked in, and they all started from the first level. According to the instructions at that time, as long as they could reach the ninth level, they could open the gate to heaven and get the opportunity to advance to the upper realm."

"I see."

Chen Lin looked suddenly enlightened.

He immediately asked tentatively: "Then the soul orb you mentioned, is it the one that comes with the tower, or was it condensed later?"

He came in with two purposes.

One is to save Sanniu.

The other is to explore the mystery of one's own time travel.

There is no rush to explore the mystery of the time travel, but rescuing Sanniu is urgent, otherwise there will be no hope.

However, the masters sent in before had not found the soul beads, and there was no record of the soul beads in the royal books, so Chen Lin always suspected that the other party was deceiving him.

Kaguya casually killed a swordsman who appeared out of nowhere.

Slow down.

He pondered and said, "Now that we are here, I will not hide the truth from you. The soul beads I mentioned are the soul essences left behind by high-level practitioners after their death. Those who can leave behind the essences cannot die in the first six levels. So if we want to save your woman, we must at least reach the seventh level."

Pause.

She continued, "Moreover, the Holy Tower has been around for too long, and it is estimated that the origin of ordinary strong people cannot survive until now. It may not even be found on the seventh floor, and it is very likely to be found on the eighth floor."

Chen Lin's face darkened.

"According to what you said, whether it can be done is still uncertain."

Kaguya glanced at Chen Lin.

He said calmly, "Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, you still have to come in and try. If you think it's risky, it's not too late to leave now."

"You are right."

Chen Lin nodded and acknowledged that the other party was right.

Then he asked another question.

"If I get the soul orb and bring my wife back to life, what will you do?"

After saying.

Chen Lin stared at the other person closely, checking his reaction.

He didn't believe that the other party would be willing to return to the jade pendant, but if the other party did not leave Sanniu's body, then Sanniu would have to share a body with the other party.

Not only Sanniu couldn't accept it, but he couldn't accept it either.

Kaguya's expression changed.

This made Chen Lin's heart sink. He clenched the hand holding the knife handle, and used the other hand to reach out for the chess piece.

If the other party goes back on his word, even at the risk of being suppressed by the Holy Tower, he will use his extraordinary power to force the other party out of Sanniu's body.

"Don't worry, I won't stay with your woman. I don't even like a body like that."

Kaguya acted disdainful.

Then he continued, "I came here this time to find the other half of the jade pendant. If I can find it and make the jade pendant complete again, I can practice inside the jade pendant and wait for the Heavenly Gate to appear."

"What if we can't find it?"

Chen Lin immediately asked.

Kaguya was silent for a while.

Then he sighed and said, "If I can't find it, then I will try to break through to the ninth floor. If I don't have that ability, I will spread the essence of my soul to provide nutrients for your woman's resurrection!"

"Help my wife revive?"

Chen Lin's tone was suspicious.

He didn't believe that the other party would be so kind. It was good enough that he didn't devour Sanniu's soul, but he would actually give up his own soul to help Sanniu. This was totally inconsistent with the other party's style.

"Neither do I."

Kaguya looked lonely.

"The jade pendant I inhabited is a treasure, but it broke into two pieces when I resisted the suppression of this tower. The effect of nourishing the soul has been greatly weakened. After so many years, my remaining soul has reached the point of exhaustion. If I can't find the other half of the jade pendant this time, I will not be able to continue to stay alive."

Chen Lin stared at the other person.

However, it is impossible to determine whether what is said is true or false just by observing the other person's words and expressions, so you can only believe the other person temporarily.

So I stopped asking.

The two continued to move forward.

After killing more than twenty black-clad swordsmen along the way, he finally arrived at the passage leading to the second floor.

It is a light gate.

After entering, the scene in front of me changed.

It was still gray, but the swordsmen no longer appeared alone, but in groups of three, and their frequency of appearance was also higher.

But it's not good enough in front of Chen Lin.

Even Kaguya can break it easily.

Logically speaking, a level of this difficulty should pose no threat to the practitioners of that time, and there is no point in setting it up. However, the extraordinary powers cannot be used in the tower, and those demons, gods and ghosts suddenly lose their magical powers. Even a swordsman like this can be turned into a murderous killer.

"It seems that under the constraints of rules, gods are also ants."

Chen Lin expressed his emotion.

Kaguya looked at Chen Lin.

He said calmly: "Even if you are an ant, you must have the determination to change your fate. Only by doing anything can you have hope of success. If you don't reach the extraordinary level, you don't even have the qualifications to be suppressed by the Saint Tower."

Chen Lin did not continue the topic.

Then he asked, "Can you tell me what happened before the Holy Tower appeared?"

"There is nothing to say."

Kaguya shook her head.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"It was no different then than it is now, except that back then it was gods fighting each other, and now it's mortals fighting each other, all for power and resources."

Pause briefly.

He said self-deprecatingly: "You are right. Even if you become a cultivator or even a god, you are still just a bigger ant."

She suddenly lost interest in the conversation, quickened her pace, and flew towards the entrance to the next floor.

The third level is still filled with black-clad swordsmen, but their number has been reduced to groups of nine.

But his strength was average and he passed easily.

An hour later.

The two of them flashed and appeared on the fourth floor.

This is a battlefield.

On both sides were thousands of armored soldiers, filled with murderous intent.

Chen Lin's expression became tense.

I didn't expect the difficulty of the third and fourth levels to be so different.

He glanced at Kaguya beside him and asked quietly, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to in this level?"

Kaguya grasped the shuriken.

He said expressionlessly: "No, all the levels here can only be solved by head-on confrontation. There are no shortcuts."

"And if you don't kill a certain number of tower guards, you won't be able to see the entrance to the next level."

Chen Lin took a breath.

He raised the long sword in his hand and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's get started!"

Before he finished speaking, he rushed out, his sword flashing, and the soldiers turned into black mist.

Kaguya showed an appreciative look.

He made a sword flower and joined the battle.

The two fought side by side, and in less than half an hour, they had completely destroyed the enemy formation.

“Hahaha, that’s all!”

The more Chen Lin killed, the more comfortable he became. He simply stopped looking for the entrance and waited until all the soldiers were killed.

Look at Kaguya.

His clothes were disheveled and there were two bloodstains on them. This was thanks to Chen Lin's protection, otherwise he would have been injured.

"Your martial arts have improved again. I'm afraid you have reached the critical point of transcendence. Be careful to suppress it and don't break through to the innate level. Although the possibility is small, you can't help but guard against it."

Kaguya looked at Chen Lin and reminded him.

Chen Lin nodded.

"I understand. I will be careful. You should also be careful not to harm my wife's body."

Kaguya's face darkened.

But he did not get angry. Instead, he looked at Chen Lin for a while.

He said with hope: "You may be able to clear all the levels, enter the ninth floor, and peek into the ultimate secret of this tower."

"Why?"

Although Chen Lin had some confidence in himself, he was not arrogant. Since no one had ever been able to reach the top of the tower from ancient times to the present, he might not be able to do it either.

If we talk about martial arts.

He is not much stronger than his father, and his combat experience and fighting will are incomparable.

But even his father could only go up to the seventh floor.

"Because you're lucky."

Kaguya explained the reason.

"According to my understanding, everything has gone very smoothly for you since you were born. Whether it's learning martial arts or seizing the throne, you can do it easily."

"Even the subordinates you recruited are all loyal and righteous. Not a single one has betrayed you."

"besides."

"I have observed you. You have fought all the way from an ordinary person to the throne of the emperor, but you have never lost a battle. It is really unbelievable."

Chen Lin smiled.

Ao Ran said: "Then you are wrong. This is not luck, but the result of my ability and personal charm."

"hehe."

Kaguya scoffed.

But he didn't say anything contemptuous, and walked towards the light gate that appeared in the distance.

Fifth floor.

Sixth floor.

These two levels are battle formations, and they are no longer just soldiers, but also powerful generals.

There are even cavalry and battle formations!

Despite this, Chen Lin still managed to make a way out with the help of the Five Qis to Origin sword technique and brought Kaguya out safely.

Seventh floor.

Both of them were injured to varying degrees, with blood stains on their bodies.

But there is no time to deal with it.

The difficulty of the seventh level increases again.

What they need to face are no longer ordinary swordsmen and soldiers, but a group of martial arts masters.

Every one of them, once taken out, is capable of unifying the world.

These masters are good at different methods. Some are good at close combat, some are good at long-range attacks, and some have magical weapons that can break through any defense.

There are also those who can poison, attack with sonic waves, and use hidden weapons. They are simply omnipotent!

This is not an exaggeration.

The most important thing is that there is only one road in this scene, and the challenger must move forward along this road and accept continuous attacks.

"Have you sensed the soul bead?"

Chen Lin observed for a while, then looked away and asked.

No matter how dangerous it is, he must give it a try, but it would be best if he could get the soul orb.

As long as he gets the soul orb, he can attack or defend. If he can't get through, he can retreat first and challenge again next time.

He is not a suppressed transcendental being, and he can withdraw midway as long as he does not die in the battle.

"No."

This answer made Chen Lin frown.

Seeing this.

Kaguya immediately explained: "The soul beads are very small, about the size of beans. Although they can emit a faint light, you have to get close to see them."

"besides."

Kaguya continued to speak.

"The extraordinary treasures here will also be suppressed and may not be able to release energy fluctuations. They need to be carefully checked, but the first thing is to pass the level. Don't lose your life because of looking for something."

"I know the importance of it."

Chen Lin agreed with the other party's statement.

Then he asked, "Have you sensed the existence of the other half of the jade pendant?"

“Neither do I.”

Kaguya looked disappointed.

"When we go through the levels later, please keep an eye out for me. I think the possibility is greatest on this level."

"alright."

"The time for this level is very short. You must complete it before the hourglass in front of you runs out. Otherwise, even if you make it through, there will be no entrance to the next level."

"Then I'll go first!"

After hearing this, Chen Lin stopped talking nonsense.

He swung the long sword in his hand and rushed into the passage.
