After the shock wore off, a wave of excitent surged through the crowd, their eyes filled with elation.
Everyone wanted to investigate this treasure that had appeared so suddenly.
The crowd craned their necks to look up as the tall tower gradually stabilized, exuding a mysterious aura.
The next second, soone suddenly shouted, "Quick, look! What are those words on the tower?"
"Huh?"
Everyone looked in that direction, their pupils imdiately constricting as expressions of utter disbelief appeared on their faces.
They were stunned speechless for a long ti.
The Golden Small Sword snorted with laughter in her Sea of Consciousness and gave Song Wanning a thumbs-up.
"Master, that move of yours was truly wicked!"
’It was discovering that its master’s ideas were getting more and more devious.’
Hearing this, Song Wanning’s lips curved into a smirk, a glint of amusent in her eyes.
’She was just giving these people sothing tailor-made for them; you couldn’t call that wicked.’
She looked up. High on the tower, the three large words "Heaven-Reaching Tower" were incredibly conspicuous, radiating a potent aura.
A single glance was enough to tell this tower was no ordinary object.
And the words "Heaven-Reaching" struck at the greatest desire in their hearts, leaving them utterly unable to resist.
The group was so excited their hands began to tremble, their eyes shining brightly.
"Co on, let’s go take a look!"
The group didn’t even pause to consider if it was a trap, rushing headlong to investigate.
However, when they got closer, they discovered the tower was sealed and completely inaccessible.
The group tried many different thods, but none were successful. Their hearts began to sink.
"Since it’s called the Heaven-Reaching Tower, it must be able to get us out of this place! Maybe we can even ascend to the Spirit Realm!"
"But we can’t get in. What are we going to do?"
Hope was within their grasp, yet they couldn’t find a way in. The crowd was naturally unwilling to give up.
Song Wanning chid in at the perfect mont. "We have to hurry. If outsiders discover this Heaven-Reaching Tower, I’m afraid..."
Her words undoubtedly fanned the flas of their urgency.
They had discovered the Heaven-Reaching Tower, and they were naturally unwilling to share it with anyone else.
But if they delayed too long, there was no guarantee that Divinity Transformation cultivators from other families wouldn’t discover it. That would be a huge problem.
Elder Wulan frowned and suggested, "Why don’t we contact the Clan Leader and have him co over? He knows a lot; he might know a way in!"
"Yes, the Clan Leader is incredibly knowledgeable. Having him take a look is the right move!"
"Agreed!"
Everyone nodded in agreent, and Elder Wulan sent a Communication Talisman to Feng Jinchuan.
Song Wanning secretly pursed her lips from the side. ’At first, none of them even thought of Feng Jinchuan,’ she mused. ’Now that they need help, they suddenly rember how capable he is.’
’But such is human nature. It wasn’t surprising.’
She folded her arms and paced around the tower, putting on a show of studying it intently.
The others did likewise, all working together, trying to find a way into the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
...
"Clan Leader, researching this restriction isn’t sothing that can be done in a mont. You should go back and rest. I’ll keep an eye on things here; I guarantee nothing will go wrong."
The Feng Family’s Array Master felt Feng Jinchuan’s predatory gaze on him and was extrely uncomfortable. It made him feel constrained, unable to work freely.
The other Array Masters felt similarly. They were all sowhat intimidated by Feng Jinchuan, so his presence was actually hindering their progress.
Feng Jinchuan raised an eyebrow at his words and was about to refuse when he received a ssage from Elder Wulan.
’Looks like they caught Peng Yu.’
He picked up the Communication Talisman with a cool expression, but as he heard the ssage within, his expression changed drastically.
’Heaven-Reaching Tower?’
’What’s that?’
Feng Jinchuan’s heart began to race. Without a single word, he vanished, leaving behind the baffled Array Masters, who could only scratch their heads in confusion.
After receiving the ssage, he didn’t dare to waste a single mont. He summoned his Flying Magical Treasure and sped toward the wasteland at top speed.
’His mind was in a whirl. The temptation and weight of the three words "Heaven-Reaching Tower" were simply too imnse.’
’He had to check it out imdiately; he couldn’t let the other families beat him to it.’
’If they could really move the entire clan to the Spirit Realm, the dragon vein in the outside world wouldn’t matter anymore. After all, no matter how rich the Lower World was, it couldn’t compare to the boundless opportunities in the Spirit Realm.’
Traveling without rest, Feng Jinchuan arrived at the wasteland by the evening of the next day.
From a distance, he could see a towering structure piercing the clouds, its aura imnse and oppressive.
Feng Jinchuan’s heart hamred in his chest. His gaze was locked on the three words, "Heaven-Reaching Tower," and in his mind’s eye, he could already see the hope of ascension.
’For generations, the Feng Family had been trapped in this Secluded Land for far too long. They had endured their punishnt. Now, at long last, a mont that could change their destiny had arrived.’
He flew swiftly toward the tower and landed.
"Clan Leader, you’re finally here! This Heaven-Reaching Tower is incredibly mysterious; none of us can find a way to enter!"
"That’s right! We’ve been studying it for a couple of days, but we’re still completely stumped. We haven’t found a single clue!"
The elders imdiately crowded around him, all complaining at once.
Song Wanning blended in with the crowd, chiming in noncommittally.
Feng Jinchuan nodded. "I understand. Let take a look."
With a furrowed brow, he approached the tower.
Just then, he noticed a sack on the ground and paused.
Seeing his gaze, Wulan imdiately explained, "That’s Peng Yu’s body. She was clever enough to hide in Feng Family territory, but luckily, Feng Youming was thorough and managed to kill her!"
Hearing this, a thoughtful glint appeared in Feng Jinchuan’s eyes as he looked over at Feng Youming.
He saw "Feng Youming" wearing a self-satisfied expression, clearly expecting praise.
He suppressed his thoughts. The priority now was entering the Heaven-Reaching Tower. Still, he harbored a sliver of suspicion about this tower that had appeared out of nowhere, so he began to ask for a detailed account of what happened.
He fell silent after hearing their accounts.
’Hundreds of thousands of years had passed in this wasteland. For such an anomaly to suddenly appear now... he couldn’t help but feel a flicker of doubt.’
’And for it to be nad the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" seed far too coincidental.’
’But...’
’Trap or not, he had to try.’
’Progress on the restriction array was stalled. If this was a real Heaven-Reaching Tower, he would regret missing this opportunity for the rest of his life.’
After a mont of contemplation, he announced, "I’ll go and test it first. Don’t any of you make a move. Wait for my command!"
Feng Jinchuan’s Divine Sense swept over the crowd, lingering for a mont on Song Wanning, before he flew toward the tower.
He circled the tower, trying various thods, his expression growing more solemn with each failure.
Song Wanning watched with cold detachnt, calmly waiting for the right mont to activate the Trial Tower.
Finally, Feng Jinchuan stood before the main entrance. He stared at a pattern above the door, lost in thought, before furtively taking out a jade seal and pressing it against the design.
He wasn’t holding out much hope, but to his surprise, the tower trembled slightly.
Feng Jinchuan was overjoyed and quickly poured more Spiritual Energy into the jade seal.
’The Heaven-Reaching Tower... it’s finally opening!!!’
