As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1082
Chapter 1082 Ascending Tower
Three days later, Xiao Chen arrived at the foot of Celestial Pogoda. The entire tower towered into the clouds, unable to see the top. Each floor was a Profound realm. It was not what was seen from the outside, it was just a simple tower.
“Liao Wuchen, do you really want to climb the tower alone?”
At this time, many disciples from Ling Luan and Celestial Pogoda had rushed over after hearing that Xiao Chen was about to ascend the tower. Of course, they only knew that there was something left behind by a senior on the eighty-first floor, and they did not know about the nameless devil.
At this moment, many people were gathered in the distance. Although they weren’t from Celestial Pogoda, they had heard many rumors about Celestial Pogoda.
It was rumored that every level above this Celestial Pogoda would be even more dangerous after reaching the Heavenly Word Realm. Especially the last ten floors from the 72nd floor. Every level would be filled with life-threatening dangers.
Thus, over the years, no matter how high one’s cultivation level was, in Celestial Pogoda, they would only reach the 72nd floor and would no longer be able to continue on.
As for the tallest eighty-first floor, I heard that no one has gone up for a thousand years. Can he go up?
At this moment, many people were whispering. Although they had witnessed Xiao Chen’s strength that day, the eighty-first floor of the Heavenly Pagoda was no small matter. It was definitely not something an ordinary person could go up to.
The cold wind was like a blade, blowing through everyone’s clothes. Qin E was standing in the distance, not moving at all as she stared at the white-haired man’s back.
At this moment, she couldn’t help but recall the time when this man had reached the 36th floor in one breath and pushed her down, but now … he and she were as far away as heaven and earth.
At this moment, Xiao Chen arrived at the bottom of the tower and recalled the scene of climbing the tower back then. Twenty years had passed, but he didn’t expect that he would climb the Heavenly Pagoda again today.
However, twenty years ago, he had only reached the 36th floor. There was no danger in the Handwriting Realm and the Earth Realm. If he failed, it would only be a step back.
However, once they reached the Heavenly Word Realm, it was not as simple as retreating one level. Especially after reaching the seventy-second level, they would be in danger almost at any moment. Apart from some terrifying illusion beasts, there were also countless terrifying restrictions. If they fell into those deadly restrictions, their bodies and spirits would often be annihilated.
Therefore, if he didn’t have absolute strength, he would definitely not be allowed to challenge the Profound Realm behind the 72nd floor.
“If you’re ready, then … don’t hesitate anymore.”
Hua Weiyang stood beside Xiao Chen. Although she knew the danger on the tower, she also knew that no one could persuade him.
“Wei Yang, you don’t have to worry … Perhaps, there’s some kind of opportunity waiting for me up there. Anyway … wait for me to come down.” Xiao Chen turned to look at her and said softly.
‘”Mm” Hua Weiyang smiled and nodded.
“Then I’ll go.”
Xiao Chen finally looked at her and then at Ling Luan, who was standing not far away. Without hesitation, he moved into the teleportation formation on the second floor.
Soon, everyone saw his name appear on the second floor of the Heavenly Polarity Rankings, followed by the third floor, the fourth floor, and the fifth floor …
Ling Luan stared motionlessly at the changes on the Heavenly Polarity Rankings, just like back then. It was the same back then. Under everyone’s astonishment, his name continued to rise.
Back then, he had used half an hour to reach the 36th floor in one breath, but now his speed was even faster. After an incense stick, his name appeared on the 36th floor.
“The 36th floor …”
Not far away, Qin E stared motionlessly at the three words “Liao Wuchen” on it. Although this was not Xiao Chen’s name, the name he had used back then had not been changed.
Back then, she was squeezed down on the 36th floor. At that time, she secretly swore that she would work hard to cultivate. Now, her cultivation was indeed no longer comparable to back then, but her opponent’s cultivation … was even more unattainable.
“Level 37 …”
Soon, Xiao Chen’s name appeared on the 37th floor. It was as if he didn’t intentionally stay on the 36th floor. Then, he went on to the 38th and 39th floors, heading straight for the Heavenly Word Realm.
With such astonishing speed, the people below were dumbfounded. Even Senior Brother Feng and Senior Sister Qin were far from being so fast …
By the time evening fell, the word “Liao Wuchen” had already landed on the 62nd floor of the Heavenly Polarity Rankings.
“This …”
Many people in the distance were stunned. This speed was simply too fast. No matter how high his cultivation was, everyone knew that every level above Celestial Pogoda would increase the restrictions with his cultivation.
In other words, the higher his cultivation, the more terrifying those restrictions became. However, he was still able to ascend the tower at such a fast speed. It was simply hard to imagine how he did it …
“Sure enough … he’s not an ordinary person.”
At this moment, outside a distant pavilion, Murong Xi and Qin Tianzong were also watching Celestial Pogoda. Today, Xiao Chen’s performance far exceeded their expectations, but they were not surprised at all.
On an azure peak, Four Daoists was also staring at this side. All four of them had happy expressions on their faces. Originally, they thought that Xiao Chen would need at least a day and night to reach the Heavenly Word Realm, but they didn’t expect that in an afternoon, not only did he reach the Heavenly Word Realm, he had also reached the 62nd floor …
This greatly exceeded their expectations. From the looks of it, reaching the eighty-first floor was not entirely impossible.
After reaching the 62nd floor, Xiao Chen’s speed slowed down. It was only at dark that his name rose from the 62nd floor to the 63rd floor.
Ling Luan looked nervously at the Heavenly Polarity Rankings. Finally, he heaved a sigh of relief. At midnight, the words “Liao Wuchen” suddenly flickered on the Heavenly Polarity Rankings.
Everyone familiar with Celestial Pogoda knew that the flickering name meant that the people ascending the tower were in danger and could fail at any time.
“Liao Wuchen …”
At this moment, Ling Luan and the rest of the disciples became nervous again. Right now, Xiao Chen was on the 63rd floor. The Heavenly Word Realm was completely different from the lower level. The higher the Heavenly Word Realm, the more dangerous it was. If he failed, the lower the level would be. However, he would not be in danger. However, the higher the Heavenly Word Realm, the more dangerous he would be …
Hua Weiyang gradually frowned. After a whole day, this was the first time Xiao Chen had encountered danger. What exactly had he encountered on the sixty-third floor? Why is the name flashing so fiercely …
Everyone below didn’t know what he had encountered. After reaching the 60th level of the Heavenly Word Realm, even Four Daoists couldn’t sense the situation above. Everything could only depend on the person who ascended the tower.
Finally, under everyone’s nervous gaze, the word “Liao Wuchen” slowly stabilized and finally rose to the “sixty-fourth floor”.
“Great! I knew Liao Wuchen was the strongest!”
Ling Luan cheered excitedly. At this moment, she looked at the name on the Heavenly Polarity Rankings. Her gaze was blazing like that of a young girl. She looked at the name of the person she admired, and Xiao Chen was the person she admired the most in her life.
After three days, Xiao Chen’s name had already landed on the 71st floor. For the past three days, Ling Luan had been guarding below Celestial Pogoda. Even now, he was nervously watching the changes on the Heavenly Polarity Rankings.
At the same time, to the west of the Middle Realm, there was a perennial mountain peak in Fei Xue called the Tianshan Mountain. The mountain was abundant in spiritual energy and looked like a cold celestial realm. There was also an extremely formidable ancient formation that belonged to Su Wen Palace.
At this moment, in Su Wen Palace, there was a person sitting at the head of the hall. That person was dressed in white and had a picturesque expression. His immortal aura was peerless. He was truly rare in the world.
Even Qianyu Nichang and Xiao Meng’er were slightly inferior to this kind of immortal energy that didn’t eat fireworks in the mortal world. Probably only Meng Xian’er, who cultivated the Jade Maiden Ice Heart Technique, could compare to it.
She was none other than Fairy Su Wen. She had already cultivated an Immortal Body like Ling Yin, and her appearance would never age. Moreover, Immortal North Ancient Realm probably wouldn’t be able to find a second Fairy Su Wen in her superb medical skills. Even Medical Sage Shui Hanyan was about three points inferior to her.
“Twenty years …”
A faint sentence came out of her mouth, and she naturally remembered clearly the “patient” that … even she was helpless against back then.
If even she couldn’t be cured, then who else in the world could?
“Palace Master …”
At this moment, two Su Wen Palace disciples walked in from outside the hall. However, seeing that the two of them were still stained with snow, they must have come back in a hurry.
“How is it?”
Fairy Su Wen asked as she looked at the two people walking in.
The woman on the left cupped her hands and said, “Reporting to Palace Master, the two of us have found out that the Eastern Region is in chaos. Many forces have been annihilated by True Monarch Xuanxiao … Disciple is worried …”
“What are you worried about?” Fairy Su Wen looked at her with a calm expression.
The woman frowned and said, “Disciple is worried … True Monarch Xuanxiao, this person will come to Tianshan …”
“Hmph.”
Fairy Su Wen snorted coldly and said indifferently, “Not to mention the long journey, just the dangers of the Tianshan Mountains, even if I gave him ten more courage, he wouldn’t dare to offend Su Wen Palace. You don’t have to worry.”
“Yes …”
The two female disciples lowered their heads. After a while, the disciple on the right said, “Right now, all the people from the various powers in the Eastern Region are heading towards Heavenly Peak City. They are probably going to … fight Xuanxiao Palace to the death.”
“True Monarch Xuanxiao has fallen into Diabolism. Everything today is his fault …”
Fairy Su Wen’s gaze was still indifferent. At the end of her sentence, she looked at the two of them and said, “If there is nothing else, you can go down first.”
“Yes” The two disciples cupped their hands and immediately retreated outside the hall.
Fairy Su Wen watched the snowstorm outside grow stronger and stronger. At this moment, she recalled the person who was not afraid of death twenty years ago.
“Xiao Yichen, regardless of whether you are a disciple of Xuan Qing or the Master of Lustless Heaven, or … this time, you still have to come find me.”
…
Let’s talk about Celestial Pogoda. Everyone’s expressions were nervous as they stared at the changes on the Heavenly Polarity Rankings. It wasn’t until late at night that they saw Xiao Chen’s name rise to the 72nd floor.
“I’ve finally gone up …”
This time, instead of letting out a sigh of relief, Ling Luan and the others became nervous. The seventy-second floor of the Celestial Pogoda was the watershed of the entire tower. Once the seventy-second floor was passed, they would truly be on the verge of death and resigned to fate …
“Liao Wuchen …”
Ling Luan stared at the top of the Heavenly Polarity Rankings, afraid that Xiao Chen’s name would disappear from the rankings with a blink of an eye. If his name disappeared from the rankings, then there was probably only one possibility … he was dead.
