Chapter 399: Opening the Tower

Chapter 399: Opening the Tower Most people were entering the tower for the first time. Like Li Hongjiu, they were looking around, wary and curious. The inside of the tower was pitch black. Not even a bit of light could be seen, let alone the shadow of the sacred fire. The golden flames in everyone's hands swayed on the metal wall, and the light reflected by the patterns on the wall was like the desire of a demon flowing, giving people a feeling of entering the throat of a terrifying creature, and the moving throat seemed to be about to swallow them up at any time. Shi Chun tried to open the ability of his right eye again, hoping to observe something different, but he still felt like he was almost blinded by the light. There were colorful lights flowing everywhere, and the huge power of the divine fire was surging mysteriously. The background light was too bright, which caused trouble for the vision of his right eye and even interfered with the normal vision of his left eye. Fortunately, the supernatural powers stimulated by his own blood and energy can be restrained by his own blood and energy. Once his right eyelid is closed, the supernatural vision of his right eye is blocked. He moved forward like a one-eyed man, heading straight to the bottom of the tower with ease. A group of people followed him, and no one dared to leave the team to check in another direction. Going down layer by layer, there is still no trace of the original light and shadow. When you reach the bottom floor, it is also empty. Zhen'er looked around in doubt and flashed out from the main door on the ground floor, causing only a slight ripple on the water curtain before disappearing. However, Shi Chun and others who followed him out were different, as they created waves.

Those who entered the cold water swam quickly around the giant underwater tower covered with thick dust and dirt, and looked around the spiral. The familiar light and dark window shadows on the tower were gone. It was the first time that Zhen'er saw the Earth's Core Tower completely immersed in darkness. She was surprised. Shi Chun opened his right eye and looked around in the dark lake... Boom! Wu Jinliang and Tong Mingshan on the island heard the sound and looked over, only to see the ice surface explode and overturned. Shi Chun and others, who were lighting up with the sandalwood gold flame, landed on the floating ice and looked around. Then, some of them, under the command of Shi Chun, dived into the water to check around. Shi Chun himself flew to the island with a few people and went into the cave again. Before they went in, Wu Jinliang asked, "What's going on?" Shi Chun simply replied, "It is indeed gone." Li Hongjiu followed closely behind Shi Chun. Wherever Shi Chun went, he went. He looked like an inexperienced person. No one knew why he was following. It was just that his seriously injured body could not take it anymore. When he entered the cave again, he held the wall with one hand and covered his mouth and nose with the ice sheep with the other hand to take a breath, then continued to run. Wu Jinliang also wanted to go in and see for himself what was going on, but he knew he had to suppress his curiosity. As the situation was unclear, someone had to be outside to provide support. It would be fun if a tower suddenly closed its doors and windows and turned into a cage. Having one person outside at least provides a possibility for rescue. This is the most basic cooperation over the years. The people inside and outside the tower searched everywhere and found nothing, so they met one after another on the bottom floor of the tower. They all looked at the outline of the gate behind the stone pier where the old man was meditating at the bottom of the tower, wondering if he had hidden behind the gate. Li Hongjiu seemed to be extremely curious. He was already picking at the crack of the door, sniffing, touching, and looking closely. He was probably just short of licking it with his tongue. After noticing his dog-like peeing action, Shi Chun thought he had discovered something, so he immediately left the crowd, walked up to him, and asked, "What did you find?" Li Hongjiu left the crack and said, "This door seems to be a fake door. The crack behind it seems to be solid. No matter how hard I push, I can't push it open, and I can't pull it open. The whole tower contains tremendous power, and I can't detect the situation behind the door with my spells." Shi Chun originally came for the things behind the door. After thinking for a while, he turned back and asked Zhen'er, "Did the uncles tell me how to open this door?" This was just his way of asking. He couldn't ask Zhen'er directly in front of everyone how he opened it, otherwise others would wonder how Zhen'er knew it. Zhen'er seemed a little nervous and excited. She walked over with her fingers tangled together and pointed at the door, saying, "The door is fake and can't be pushed open. The cylindrical wall is a large rotating drum. The door doesn't open, it rotates." Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the outline of the gate, and they all came to the door frame to take a closer look, and found that it was indeed possible as Zhen'er said. If they hadn't been reminded of this, they would never have thought of this. If they didn't find the trick, given the material of the tower, they would never be able to open it even if they pushed and pulled it till the end of time. Shi Chun nodded his head to signal the Mingshan Sect's group, and Chu Jingtang immediately called for everyone to come together, hold onto the wall together, and shout one, two, three, and then mobilize their collective strength to try to push and turn it. After all, the object to be pushed was huge.

Zhen Er added, "This drum cannot be forced to move unless you find a way..." However, she was stunned before she could finish her words. She saw that the door frame was already moving, making a dull buzzing sound. In other words, the giant rotating drum that she said was difficult to push was easily pushed by Chu Jingtang and others. No one cared about what she said and moved together following the rotating door frame. The light of the sandalwood and gold flames seemed more vivid and strange on the texture of the metal wall. After walking for more than ten feet, a pitch-black gap appeared. As the door frame moved, it became larger and larger, and finally an entrance that was the same size as the huge door frame appeared. They thought it was an entrance, but when they shone the light carefully and looked inside, they found that it was a dead end. Rather than an entrance, it was more like a small room, empty and clean, with only a strange light. Shi Chun wanted to go in and check, but heard Zhen'er say: "There are eight doors, only one of which can be entered. The position is not fixed and will change every half an hour. Keep pushing." Since she said so, Shi Chun no longer needed to check and waved his hand and said: "Keep pushing." So everyone worked together to push it a dozen feet away, and sure enough, another dark gap appeared. As he pushed the door open, he used the flames to illuminate the situation inside and found that it was another dead end. Just when everyone thought that it was another empty gap like before, they were shocked when the gap was about to appear from behind the rotating drum, because there was a person hiding behind it. He was an old man with horns on his head, his hair and beard were yellow and gray, and he was wearing a moon-colored robe. Everyone was frightened and on guard. Those who had never seen him before didn't recognize him, but Shi Chun and Zhen'er knew him. Who else could it be except that old man? While the two were terrified, they also noticed something unusual. They found that the old man no longer had the calm and awe-inspiring demeanor as before, but instead looked panic-stricken. Shi Chun also discovered something different with his right eye. The color of this old man's body became much more blurred and obviously not as rich and rich as before. What's worse, the old man suddenly turned into a ball of green divine fire and flew up above everyone's heads. Shi Chun's eyes flashed and he shouted, "Stop him." An Wuzhi and Zhu Xiangxin, the two who practiced fire-based martial arts, were still a little afraid and hesitant. Shi Chun himself had already jumped up first, performed the Demon Bathing Technique in mid-air, and pushed them with the Qinglan Qi, repelling them and blocking their escape. Seeing that Shi Chun could fight easily, Zhu and An felt relieved and took action. The two of them had now reached a high level of cultivation, and after joining forces, they defeated the power of the divine fire with a few loud moves and finally captured the green flame successfully. Zhen'er who was standing by was stunned, unable to believe that the old man was captured so easily? "Master, where did the other divine fires go?" Shi Chun began to interrogate the ball of green flame. You don't know until you try it. After seven or eight trials, I was speechless. I didn't get a single word out of it. It was only after Li Hongjiu reminded me that I realized that the power of the green flame had weakened to the point where it could no longer transform into a human form and could no longer speak. What's the point of trying it? How to do? What else can I do? Shi Chun waved his hand and asked people to continue pushing and turning the huge rotating drum. Not long after, another dark hole appeared behind the door frame, making the group alert again. There were no Tibetans this time, it was a dead end, empty. Soon after they passed two such gaps, a bright light suddenly shot out from the gap behind the door frame, shocking everyone and making them stop temporarily. Zhen Er said happily: "The entrance, it is the entrance." Hearing this, Li Hongjiu turned his head and looked at her with a suspicious look on his face, obviously wondering how she could tell at a glance that the entrance was found. Since Zhen'er said so, Shi Chun naturally waved his hand again to signal everyone, "Push away." The drum hummed again, and the light from behind the door frame became brighter and brighter. When it matched the size of the gap, a group of people stood under the light of the entrance. Suddenly a figure flashed and Zhener was the first to slip in. Shi Chun was about to catch up, but found that Li Hongjiu had followed him in.

He suspected that this guy was sick. He had no idea what was going on and was not afraid of any danger. How could he dare to go in like this? The others who followed in were obviously much more cautious. They groped their way through the several-foot-deep corridor on foot and finally found themselves in a not-small and glorious space. It is empty and simple, but the walls are filled with endless colorful light, and people feel like they are in a colorful glow. There was a three-story altar with railings in the hall. Zhen'er stood on the second floor and looked at the third floor. I don't know what he was staring at. Li Hongjiu had already climbed up and was circling around something on the top floor, looking around. It was obvious that there was something on it. Seeing this, Shi Chun also dodged and jumped over, landing next to Zhen'er. Only then could he see clearly what was on the altar. It was a dried corpse covered with red spots and sitting cross-legged. Its face and torso had shrunk into deep bone outlines, which meant that there was no trace of anything left on the corpse. Unlike normal people, the mummy has a pair of horns on its head. "This mummy looks a bit like this guy's previous transformed form." Zhu Xiangxin, who came on stage, raised the green flame in his hand. Shi Chun could understand why they were similar. He heard Zhen'er say that the nine masters had reference bodies when they transformed, and the remains of the reference bodies were all in the tower. The one Zhen'er used as a reference when he transformed was the woman named "Su" back then. (End of this chapter)
