Chapter 398 Entering the Honghuang Tower
"This stone tower is too old. Our five families only discovered and controlled it more than a hundred years ago. Since then, several families have tried many times to explore its mysteries, but we have never found anything except the large amount of primitive energy."
Gu Shuo sighed and looked up at the stone tower with a look full of regret. The other children of the Gu family couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
They all knew that the Honghuang Tower had an extraordinary origin and that the eighth floor must contain a lot of mysteries, but unfortunately, they couldn't get in.
"I see." Lin Changqiang nodded slightly, as if he suddenly realized something but was not surprised at all.
On the eighth floor of the Honghuang Tower is the Lord of Honghuang who is recuperating in his sleep. Not to mention reaching the perfection of the Death Profound Realm, even if a strong man at the peak of the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm comes, he will have no chance at all.
"This year, our Gu family has never thought about defeating the Shentu family and winning the martial arts competition. The two candidates who will enter have not yet been decided. Young friend Changqiang will enter alone first."
"Elder, aren't you afraid that I will absorb all the energy of the wildness?"
Lin Changqiang said this jokingly, causing the surrounding Gu family members to laugh. Even Gu Ling immediately stroked his beard and smiled, "Don't worry, my friend. For over a hundred years, the primitive energy in this tower has not only been inexhaustible, but has even become thicker and thicker. So feel free to use it."
Hearing this, Lin Changqiang's eyes lit up and he nodded. Seeing this, Gu Ling said no more. He flipped his hand and a golden token flew out, emitting golden light that shone on the tower.
Soon, a magnificent formation appeared, and the surface of the Honghuang Tower was all lit up with golden light, as if a golden robe had formed to wrap the entire stone tower.
Obviously, this formation was not possessed by the stone tower itself, but was later arranged outside by the five major families to guard against others.
With a subtle humming sound, a huge mouth suddenly opened up in the golden formation, and behind the mouth was the tower gate. Lin Changqiang walked forward, and the stone gate opened with a bang, waiting for him to enter before closing again.
As soon as he entered the tower, Lin Changqiang looked around. This place was more vast than he had imagined. It was obviously the kind of self-contained space that the big guys loved the most.
Compared with the Talisman Master Tower in Yancheng, the interior of the Honghuang Tower is more spacious. Apart from the glowing orbs on the walls and the Honghuang aura that permeates the tower, everything else is empty.
He tried to absorb some of the primordial energy, and a subtle warm current immediately flowed through his body, making his body slightly stronger.
"It works well."
Lin Changqiang nodded with satisfaction, then unsealed the Qiankun bag. The figure of the Great Desolate Monument also rushed out angrily, but before he could think of what to spray, the surrounding energy made him stunned.
"Honghuang Tower?"
"Needless to say?" Lin Changqiang rolled his eyes. "Why are you so anxious? Haven't I done what I promised? The Honghuang Tower is now controlled by the five major families. We can't break the rules."
"Rules?" Huang glared, "This is the Honghuang Tower of the Honghuang Lord, not theirs."
"Oh, right, right, right. Then go and beat up all the people from the five families and tell them not to enter this tower anymore. I will definitely support you with both hands."
Hearing this, Huang curled his lips but didn't say anything else. He just snorted unhappily and flew towards the entrance to the second floor. Seeing this, Lin Changqiang also followed with a smug smile.
The two figures continued to move quickly in the tower. The wild aura that permeated the surroundings became brighter and thicker, but it did not affect their progress at all. Not long after, they reached the seventh floor, and the Great Desolate Monument finally stopped.
The primitive energy here was bright and dazzling, and so thick that it almost condensed into glue. Even Lin Changqiang, whose body had been tempered countless times, felt some pressure. However, this kind of pressure was like a ten-pound cat lying on the chest of an ordinary person. It was not a big problem, but it was a little difficult to absorb.
The Great Desolation Monument in front was suspended in the air, and the body of the monument released an ancient yellow light that condensed into a vortex, while the spirit of the monument sat quietly on the body of the monument.
The primordial energy that Lin Changqiang found difficult to absorb poured back in, continuously pouring into the monument, causing a dull roar.
With the infusion of this scale, the originally slightly dull surface of the Great Desolation Monument suddenly showed a slight luster and looked like new.
"Aren't you going to the eighth floor? The primitive aura there should be more intense, right?" Lin Changqiang asked curiously.
“That won’t work.” Huang shook his head. “We can only absorb the first seven layers of the Primordial Qi. The eighth layer is for the Primordial Lord to heal. Even if we can get in, we can’t use it to heal. Otherwise, that guy will be in big trouble.”
"So that's how it is. We can only absorb the primitive energy of the first seven layers."
Lin Changqiang nodded and repeated his emphasis, but did not immediately start absorbing it.
He stared at Huang steadily without saying a word. Seeing this, Huang, who was about to continue absorbing, finally reacted with his face flushed.
"I forgot that with your current level of cultivation, it is a bit difficult to absorb the seventh level of primitive energy."
The Great Desolate Monument smiled embarrassedly, and then emitted a yellow light that enveloped Lin Changqiang. The next moment, the surrounding primitive energy changed from solid glue to flowing liquid.
"Humph, you still have some conscience."
Feeling the richness of the surrounding energy, Lin Changqiang was extremely happy, but on the surface he snorted coldly and glanced at Huang. Then he sat cross-legged and began to practice formally.
The primitive energy of this seventh layer is far superior to that of the previous layers in terms of quality and concentration. Unfortunately, the pressure is too great and it is difficult to absorb. I am afraid that only the strong ones above the Death Profound Realm in the five major families can practice here.
When Lin Changqiang entered the state of cultivation, the diluted primitive energy around him suddenly swarmed in and penetrated into his body one after another.
Compared to the improvement of cultivation, this kind of energy is more significant in improving the body. As a huge amount of primordial energy entered the body, Lin Changqiang's body vibrated slightly, and golden light instantly emerged on his skin. Countless scalding hot currents drilled into his body and flowed to his limbs and bones like magma.
Even though he had been using Thunder Essence to temper his body recently, Lin Changqiang couldn't help but take a deep breath. Fortunately, compared to this tolerable pain, the strengthening of the body was more pleasing.
Now, he could clearly feel that the blood, muscles, and bones in his body were all exuding greedy joy. The primordial energy that was pouring into his body was a long-awaited tonic for them.
After casually using a double experience card, Lin Changqiang divided his mind into two parts. On the one hand, he absorbed the ancient energy, and on the other hand, he urged General Tiangong to temper his body with lightning. His body looked extraordinary and heroic with the interweaving of gold and silver, and his smooth muscles had a dreamy beauty.
In the empty seventh floor, each person and each monument were like two bottomless pits, one small and one large, absorbing energy continuously and happily.
Thanks to "Buliang226" for the many book coins he gave me. It was really a waste of moneyΣ(Д). I also thank "O依然想你O" and "忘忧无道" for their monthly votes. I wish the three of them a life as prosperous as the warm sunshine in April, the attitudes of the people around them as gentle as the spring breeze, the clothes they wear every day are neither too cold nor too hot, and they travel safely and smoothly every day (ω≡ω)
