Tian Yuan

Tianshu Tower carries the supreme divine pattern and contains all the laws of the universe.

During the heyday of Emperor Taiwei, he went against the flow of time and forged this very special Tianshu Tower by blending the traces of time with rare materials. Many emperors’ footprints of time are left inside the tower, which is truly priceless.

The emperor's tomb is located in the East, and the seventy-two palaces in its outer area have their Tao rhyme source from the Tianshu Tower.

A long, long time ago, Emperor Taiwei meditated in the Tianshu Tower to attain enlightenment and gained many insights. Every path he took reached the pinnacle of the human world, and no one in history books could match him.

"Sit here."

Xiao Shuzi's real age is over a million years old, but he has been alone for such a long time, so it does not seem inappropriate to describe him as inexperienced in the world.

The first floor of Tianshu Tower is shrouded in mist and has a fairy-like feel.

As Xiao Shuzi thought of this, two elegant seats appeared in the sea of ​​fog.

Chen Qingyuan and Nangong Ge sat down one after another, while Xiao Shuzi jumped into the air, using the thick fog as his bed, crossing his legs and eating delicious food.

"Speak directly if you have something to say."

After eating many boxes of pastries, Xiao Shuzi barely managed to stop craving for food. He then stopped for a moment, turned his attention to Chen Qingyuan, and urged him to eat more.

"I came here mainly to see my big brother." Chen Qingyuan put on a sincere look, with a seemingly honest smile, and took out most of the food he brought and placed it on the table: "I bought a lot of delicious food this time, I hope my big brother will like it."

"Heh!" Xiao Shuzi sneered, looking unhappy on the surface, but actually he immediately put away the dozen or so Sumeru rings on the table. He secretly used a wisp of divine consciousness to check the Sumeru rings, and saw that they were filled with delicious food. He was very excited.

On the one hand, he wanted to get angry at Chen Qingyuan, but on the other hand, he couldn't help showing a bit of joy.

Xiao Shuzi's expression at this moment showed resentment between his brows, mixed with a hint of joy.

Especially those clear eyes, sparkling with brilliance, as if a child in the human world saw a candied haws, his joy and excitement could not be concealed, all kinds of emotions mixed together, looking a little funny.

Chen Qingyuan saw through it but didn't say anything. He blamed himself and said, "It's all my fault. I haven't come to visit you for so many years. You've made me feel wronged. Sigh!"

"It's good that you know." Xiao Shuzi climbed up the pole and blamed him, "I have been hungry for so long, looking forward to your coming every day. Hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye. Do you know how hard it is?"

"It's all my fault, I'm sorry."

Just let Xiao Shuzi scold you and vent your anger, then there will be no problem.

Chen Qingyuan sincerely apologized, and then explained the reason for not coming, telling how he was bullied outside and was barely surviving with no time to spare.

When Xiao Shuzi saw the delicious food for the first time, his anger had actually subsided by half. Now, after listening to Chen Qingyuan's miserable experience, all his remaining complaints disappeared, and he even put his hands on his hips and defended him, "Don't be afraid, brother. When I regain my freedom in the future, I will definitely suppress all those who bully you."

The Tianshu Tower is in the same situation as the two imperial soldiers. It must obey the orders of Emperor Taiwei and guard the Divine Bridge and must not leave without permission.

"Big brother is so nice."

Chen Qingyuan was moved.

Nangong Ge, who was sitting next to him, opened his lips slightly and stared in amazement: "......"

Nangong Ge had deduced many taboo traces before, so he knew what Tianshu Tower was. What he never expected was that the intelligence of such a taboo object was so simple, it was too easy to be fooled!

In fact, this is all on the surface. The reason why Tianshu Tower trusts Chen Qingyuan so much is because he has the aura of Emperor Taiwei and is a member of their family.

In addition, for countless years, Tianshu Tower had not eaten any delicious food. Whenever it felt itchy, Emperor Taiwei would casually throw a bunch of unknown gems and treasures, enough to feed it for a hundred or eighty years.

Only after Chen Qingyuan came did Xiao Shuzi feel the taste of being alive. The life he had lived before was really too bitter.

"By the way, I have something even better here, would you like to try it, big brother?"

Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, Chen Qingyuan must of course strike while the iron is hot and find ways to get closer.

"What good stuff?" Xiao Shuzi narrowed his eyes and jumped in front of Chen Qingyuan in an instant. His skin was pink and tender, like a porcelain doll. His voice was soft and sticky: "Take it out and have a look."

So, Chen Qingyuan took out two cooked dishes, with a circle of faint white light surrounding them, locking in the delicious taste of the food.

Once the restriction was lifted, the fragrance immediately wafted out.

Xiao Shuzi took a sniff and his appetite was aroused.

Before Chen Qingyuan could speak, he saw Xiao Shuzi take the food away from the air, then moved to a high place and tasted it alone, fearing that it would be snatched away by others.

After taking a small bite, Xiao Shuzi's expression suddenly changed. He was stunned for a moment, and then he started eating in big mouthfuls and couldn't stop.

In a short while, Xiao Shuzi had finished both dishes, without leaving any residue.

Xiao Shuzi was still not satisfied, so he rushed to Chen Qingyuan and asked anxiously, "Anything else?"

After tasting these two dishes, Xiao Shuzi suddenly felt that other foods were bland. His eyes were filled with longing, and he really wanted to have a full meal.

"There's still a little bit left." Chen Qingyuan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Since it can make big brother happy, I won't keep it. I'll give it all to you."

After saying this, Chen Qingyuan emptied his Sumeru Ring which was filled with food in front of Xiao Shuzi, and dozens of delicacies from land and sea were placed in front of him, floating in the air.

“Brother, you are so kind.”

Xiao Shuzi no longer had any resentment, and was only moved and happy.

This is what a good brother is!

trustworthy.

Suppressing his emotions for the moment, Xiao Shuzi began to eat with relish.

In order to fulfill his duties as a brother, Chen Qingyuan poured the wine himself and refilled it as soon as Xiao Shuzi finished drinking.

Nangong Ge was like a transparent man, dumbfounded and speechless.

Half an hour later, Xiao Shuzi looked at the empty plates and barely suppressed his appetite.

"Gone."

Feeling Xiao Shuzi's gaze, Chen Qingyuan spoke.

"Alas!" Xiao Shuzi sighed, "Good things are rare."

"Next time I come, I will definitely bring more delicious food for Big Brother. It will definitely taste just as good as this."

Chen Qingyuan assured.

"Really?"

Xiao Shuzi said expectantly.

"Of course." Chen Qingyuan said seriously, "How could I lie to my brother?"

"Good brother." Xiao Shuzi jumped into the air, reaching the same height as Chen Qingyuan. He patted his shoulder with his hand, feeling relieved: "I was wrong about you before, don't take it to heart."

"There's no need to be so polite between us." Chen Qingyuan suddenly became depressed and sighed, "I don't know how long I can live, I hope I can have a chance to visit my brother again!"

"Speaking of which, is your injury difficult to heal?"

Xiao Shuzi walked around Chen Qingyuan several times, frowning and asking about the situation.

"It's very difficult." Chen Qingyuan said with a serious face, "It requires a lot of precious materials, but unfortunately I have been searching for it for many years but still can't find it. I only have a few years left to live, so I decided to come and see my brother and try my luck to see if I can get a glimmer of hope."

"what do you need?"

It's easy to be grateful for someone's kindness. Besides, Xiao Shuzi had a very good impression of Chen Qingyuan, and the two of them were brothers, so of course he had to help.

"We are still short of the Nine Tribulations Soul Wood. I wonder if Big Brother has ever heard of it?"

When he said this, Chen Qingyuan's whole body tensed up. He had been preparing for this moment for so long.

"Nine Tribulations Soul Wood?" Xiao Shuzi pondered deeply, his face full of doubt: "What is this thing?"

It’s over, there won’t be any more!

Chen Qingyuan's heart skipped a beat. Since Nangong Ge had calculated that the approximate direction of the Nine Tribulations Soul Wood was within the boundary of the Divine Bridge, then he must be right.

If it’s not in Tianshu Tower, then where could it be?

Could it be hiding under the bridge?

In just a short moment, many questions popped up in Chen Qingyuan's mind, and his brows were filled with worry.

In order to confirm it, Chen Qingyuan did not give up. He raised his hand and drew the rough pattern of the Nine Tribulations Soul Wood in the air. He said to Xiao Shuzi, "This is it. Have you seen it?"

Hold your breath and wait for judgment.

"So this is it."

When he saw the pattern for the first time, the suspicion on Xiao Shuzi's face disappeared in an instant, and a hint of disgust flashed in the depths of his eyes, which was caught by Chen Qingyuan, who felt it was a little weird.

Why did he look disgusted after seeing the pattern of the Nine Tribulations Soul Wood?

Chen Qingyuan didn’t quite understand it for the time being.

"know?"

Without thinking about other questions, Chen Qingyuan asked.

"follow me."

Xiao Shuzi said this, then turned and walked forward.

Chen Qingyuan turned around and looked at Nangong Ge. The two of them walked forward together without saying anything.

After walking a hundred feet, Xiao Shuzi stretched out his hand and swiped the void in front of him, opening up a door of laws. Without hesitation, he stepped in.

Chen Qingyuan and Nangong Ge followed closely behind, wanting to see where the Gate of Laws led to.

An independent spatial world, square and shrouded in white fog.

The corners were filled with wood, like firewood in the mortal world, piled up like a mountain.

As soon as they came in, they saw this scene and were stunned.

"This crap is so disgusting."

I haven't been here for many years. Xiao Shuzi grabbed a piece of wood carved with special Taoist patterns, put it in his mouth and took a bite. It still tasted the same as before.

"Pah!" Xiao Shuzi spat out the wood residue in his mouth and said with disdain, "It's still so unpalatable and hurts my teeth."

Chen Qingyuan and Nangong Ge: "......"

"Brother, how much do you want for this broken wood?"

Xiao Shuzi flashed in front of Chen Qingyuan and didn't take these things seriously.

Even though they were well-informed, they had never seen such a scene before.

There was a mountain of Nine Tribulations Soul Wood that might not be bred in tens of thousands of years. And from what Xiao Shuzi said just now, a lot of it had been eaten over the years.

"Brother, where did these Nine Tribulations Soul Wood come from?"

Chen Qingyuan thought he was already very rich, but compared with Xiao Shuzi, he was no different from a poor guy.

Nangong Ge watched attentively, wanting to know the answer.
