The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 309
Chapter 309 Eighteen Soldiers Tower
The resources of Mingfeng Trading Firm were not very attractive to Li Qing. After all, he already had quite a few treasures. As for the method that allowed people to comprehend the unity of heaven and man, it made Li Qing very curious.
Is there really such a thing in this world? Could it be the Good Fortune Fruit? However, the Good Fortune Fruit could only increase the chances of comprehending the unity of heaven and man, but there was no guarantee that it would be possible.
Regardless of whether there was such a method, Li Qing would not agree. The greater the temptation, the greater the risk. He would not take such a risk.
He took a deep breath. His mind was very calm. There was no free lunch in the world. He had to stick to his heart and not be tempted by the treasures to avoid suffering a huge loss.
After coming out with Chang Wudi, he forgot about this matter. Since he was already so famous, there would definitely be people eyeing him. No matter how troubled he was, it would be useless.
In the following period of time, Li Qing went to the remaining two shops and told them his intention of coming, asking them to help him find Liu Ke’er.
Chang Wudi was very surprised. He didn’t understand why Li Qing wanted the three firms to search at the same time. Wasn’t this a waste of spirit stones?
Actually, Li Qing felt that it would be safer for the three firms to find people at the same time. The success rate would be even greater, and it should be able to cover the entire Eastern Region. If they couldn’t find anyone, then Liu Ke’er might really not be in the Eastern Region, or she might be hiding in some special place.
The prices of these three firms were basically the same. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to afford such a price. However, Li Qing was not lacking in spirit stones. In order to find Liu Ke’er, the price was insignificant.
With the portrait Li Qing had personally painted, the chances of finding someone was much higher. Of course, no firm dared to guarantee that they would be able to find it. After all, it depended on luck.
“Who is that woman on the portrait? She’s so beautiful.” Chang Wudi said.
“She’s my wife!” Li Qing replied.
“Your wife? Eh, what about that Miss Su from Jiangyuan City? She doesn’t seem to be related to you either, right? Could it be that you’re on two boats?” Chang Wudi rolled his eyes, revealing a curious gaze.
“Su Jingxiang and I are just ordinary friends. Don’t misunderstand.”
“You’re all naked, yet you’re still ordinary friends? Who would believe that! You guys don’t have a good thing.” Chang Wudi rolled his eyes.
Li Qing was speechless and scolded, “Why do you care so much at such a young age?”
As they spoke, they began to fight again. If it weren’t for the fact that they were in the Holy City, they would have been able to fight again.
…
They strolled around the Holy City for a whole day, and only then did they stroll through half of the huge city. Both of them enjoyed themselves and saw many new things in the Holy City.
However, along the way, they would “accidentally encounter” some people from the so-called big powers. These people from the big powers talked to Li Qing in various ways, wishing to make friends with him, and invited him to be a guest at their place.
Li Qing was not an ignorant person. He politely responded to them. He did not say that he was going to be a guest, nor did he say that he was not going to be a guest. He just patiently perfunctorily said that the two sides were in a good mood.
Today was Li Qing’s first day in the Holy City. He didn’t expect this news to spread throughout the Holy City. It had to be said that these people were really well-informed.
Some people were disdainful of Li Qing, but more people were still paying attention to Li Qing. After all, this was a fellow with shocking combat strength. No one could tell what his future achievements would be. It didn’t matter if he made friends with Li Qing.
“Let’s go back.” Li Qing said, “This Holy City is indeed extremely prosperous, but there doesn’t seem to be anything special about it.”
Chang Wudi immediately retorted, “What do you know? The truly special places are all in the inner circle. Ordinary people simply cannot enter. For example, the Eighteen Armies Tower!”
“Eighteen Armament Tower? What kind of place is that?” Li Qing was curious.
“The Eighteen Armament Pagoda has eighteen weapons. Each weapon is classified as a pagoda. For example, sabers, swords, spears, sticks, axes, and so on.”
“What’s the use of these weapons towers?”
“I’ll show you tomorrow!” Chang Wudi did not know what to say and pretended to be mysterious
“Alright then, can we enter these special places in the inner circle?”
‘”Most of us can. We are geniuses on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings. The Eighteen Armament Pagodas are originally meant for us geniuses. If we don’t even have this benefit, then what’s the point of ranking on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings? Do you think it’s a good ranking?”
Chang Wudi clearly knew more about these things than Li Qing, so he could only listen quietly.
“There are also some special places in the inner circle, such as the Illusory Sea Realm and the Heavenspan Platform. They are all places that we can enter as geniuses of the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings. You will know when we arrive.”
…
The next day, Li Qing and Chang Wudi arrived at the inner circle. With the token in their hands, they traveled unobstructed along the way. They quickly arrived in front of the eighteen weapons tower.
“What weapon are you using?” Chang Wudi asked.
“Saber!”
“Let’s go, let’s go to the Saber Tower!” Chang Wudi brought Li Qing to the second tower.
“Eh, why do these towers seem to be different in height? The Saber Tower has nine floors, but the Sword Tower… seems to have ten floors!” Li Qing said.
Looking up, most of the weapons towers were nine floors, some were only eight floors, only the Sword Tower and Axe Tower were ten floors tall, standing out amongst these weapons towers.
Chang Wudi said, “The number of floors of these towers represents the realm of a weapon. They are beginner, slightly successful, first-time peepers, ascendants, perfection, peak perfection, return to simplicity, excellence, and transcendence!”
“In other words, the first floor of the tower represents your first level of saber technique, while the second floor represents your first level of saber technique. By analogy, the level of saber technique that you can ascend to is the level of your first level.”
“What’s the point of doing this?”
Chang Wudi said, “You’ll know what’s the point of going in! Let me see which floor you can climb in the Saber Tower!”
“Alright then!” Li Qing walked towards the door of the pagoda. There was an old man sitting there quietly, as if he had merged with the heavens and the earth. He was unfathomable.
Obviously, this old man was a gatekeeper.
“Hello, senior. I want to enter the tower!” Li Qing said respectfully.
“Once you enter, you need to pay a thousand spirit stones. You can only stay for seven days at most!” The old man said without opening his eyes.
“One thousand spirit stones at a time! So it’s not free!” Li Qing was secretly speechless. This was too expensive! What was so miraculous about this Saber Tower?
Such a huge price shouldn’t be disappointing, right? Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel some anticipation in his heart. He took out a thousand spirit stones and handed them to the old man.
“Let’s go in!”
The tower gate quietly opened.
Li Qing entered the pagoda and had just taken the first step when the world in front of him changed.
There was actually something else inside the tower!
What appeared in front of them were huge stone steles. The steles varied in size, and some were even more than ten meters tall. There are many pictures carved on it.
Very quickly, a burst of information came to his mind and he understood the secret of the Saber Tower.
It turned out that these stone steles were inscribed with countless saber techniques, techniques, experiences, and so on. All of them were left behind by previous human experts for the geniuses who entered to learn.
There were different levels of saber techniques on different floors. If one wanted to ascend to the second floor, one needed to defeat the guardians in the tower!
Defeating the guardian proves that you have reached a higher level and can learn more profound saber techniques!
The first level of the saber technique in front of him was a beginner’s level, extremely shallow.
“This is actually a place to learn saber techniques! What a good place!” Li Qing couldn’t help but reveal traces of joy in his heart. Speaking of which, the Saber Technique Realm was exactly what he lacked!
He had always wanted to comprehend the saber intent and condense the Heaven Earth Dharma Form with the saber Dao True Intent, but he was unable to do so. He did not even know where to start, feeling extremely confused.
He had already comprehended the true meaning of Yin and Yang, but he preferred to use the saber. If he wanted to comprehend the saber intent, he intended to use the saber intent as the main force, supplemented by the true meaning of Yin and Yang, to condense the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form. However, how could a high-level item like saber intent be so easy to comprehend? Most of the Xiantian sixth layer experts in the world were stuck at the checkpoint of martial arts true intent.
Now that he had such a good place to study, it was exactly what he needed. Perhaps he could use this to comprehend the saber intent.
“I don’t know what level I can reach with my current saber technique!” He thought to himself.
Li Qing immediately scanned the stone steles.
The level of the first floor was very low. Li Qing’s saber technique was naturally far above this level. He could immediately defeat the guardian and ascend to the second floor. However, he was not in a hurry to do this. Instead, he slowly read the carved saber technique on the stone stele.
These saber techniques were very simple, but they were all left behind by the elders of the human race. There were different bright spots, and their insights were very profound. Li Qing wanted to learn these basic saber techniques to check and fill in the gaps.
Fundamentals are very important!
After more than half a day of study, Li Qing benefited greatly. Feeling that it was almost time, he arrived at the position where the guardian was.
As soon as he stepped into the Guarding Gate, he suddenly felt a pressure. Li Qing was shocked to discover that all of the power on his body had disappeared, including the dual power of his True Essence and physical body. All of them were imprisoned and could not be used.
He had become an ordinary person!
A black-robed man condensed in front of him. Li Qing could tell that this was a spirit body condensed from spiritual energy, a dead thing without any intelligent life.
This was the guardian, as long as he defeated it.
