A shocking change in the Heaven-Piercing Tower (Part one)
The battle between Zhuge Xiang and Mad Lion Tie Zhan was indeed astonishing, and it attracted even more attention on Heaven-Piercing Peak. Tie Zhan, as the Young Sect Master of the Myriad Beast Sect and a genius whose fame resounded throughout the entire Great Tang Dynasty, was actually overpowered by Zhuge Xiang. Naturally, people were secretly discussing and trying to find out about the origins of this suddenly emerging powerhouse, Zhuge Xiang.
However, just as Zhuge Xiang and Tie Zhan were about to determine the winner and loser, their battle came to a halt because Mo Lingna stepped forward to stop them.
"Zhuge Xiang, I'm sorry, I lied to you. He and I were indeed Engagement, but we never officially got married..."
After stopping Zhuge Xiang and Tie Zhan's fight, Mo Lingna turned around and spoke to Zhuge Xiang with trepidation, anxiety, and urgency in her eyes, hurriedly clarifying her relationship with Tie Zhan.
"They were Engagement, but never married," Zhuge Xiang said, gaining some understanding of the relationship between Mo Lingna and Tie Zhan.
After spending these days together, Zhuge Xiang had come to understand Mo Lingna's personality to some extent. She was the kind of woman who dared to love and hate. She had been Engagement to Tie Zhan, but they never got married. Therefore, Zhuge Xiang was certain that the Engagement was not Mo Lingna's own choice.
Judging from Tie Zhan's appearance, he clearly has feelings for Mo Lingna, which explains why he hates him so much.
"Tie Zhan, I'm sorry, I used you. I personally mentioned to Master that I wanted to cultivate the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon, but Master demanded that I marry you before he would give it to me. So, I deceived you, I deceived Master..." Then, Mo Lingna turned to Tie Zhan with Guilt expression and said.
When she went to sea years ago, she almost perished in a tsunami. It was Tie Zhan who saved her and took her to the Myriad Beast Sect. Moreover, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect took good care of her. However, for the sake of the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon, she took advantage of Tie Zhan's feelings for her. Regarding this Mo Lingna truly Guilt.
Tie Zhan's expression was complex as he looked at Mo Lingna, seemingly lost in thought. After a long silence, he said with a wry smile, "Lingna, you know that no matter what you do, I will forgive you for using me to obtain the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon. I'm not angry, as long as you're happy. As for your rejection of me, I believe that one day you will agree to it."
Tie Zhan's words implied that he was unwilling to give up on Mo Lingna. His devotion was truly astonishing. It must be said that even Mo Lingna's eyes widened slightly in surprise. "Tie Zhan, you know, I just told you, Zhuge Xiang and I..."
"Stop talking!" But before Mo Lingna could finish speaking, Tie Zhan abruptly stopped her. She and Zhuge Xiang were already married, and Tie Zhan dared not let Mo Lingna reveal this.
"Stop talking..." Tie Zhan's eyes were fixed on Mo Lingna, and a pleading look appeared in his steely gaze. He said, "All I know is that you were engaged to me, and sooner or later you will agree to Wedding me. As for whether you have Marriage someone else, I have no idea, and I don't want to know."
"Tie Zhan..." Mo Lingna's pupils contracted slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions.
It has to be said that anyone would be moved by someone as devoted as Tie Zhan. However, being moved is one thing, and whether one would actually fall in love with him is another.
To be honest, even Zhuge Xiang secretly admired Tie Zhan's devotion. However, no matter what, he and Mo Lingna were married, and she was his wife. Zhuge Xiang always felt uncomfortable with someone eyeing his Zhuge Xiang covetously, even though he knew that Mo Lingna would never choose Tie Zhan.
"Brother, may I ask where you are from? Forgive my poor eyesight," at this moment, seeing that the battle between the two had stopped, Second Prince Li Buling of the Great Tang Dynasty, suddenly stepped forward, clasped his hands and said to Zhuge Xiang. As Prince, he exuded an aura of nobility.
"My name is Zhuge Xiang. I greet Your Highness the Second Prince," Zhuge Xiang returned the greeting with clasped hands, neither humble nor arrogant, showing no sign of being overly obsequious because of the other's status.
"Cousin Li Zhi, I didn't expect to see you here. I thought the Third Imperial Uncle was looking for you everywhere," Li Buling said, his gaze returning to Li Zhi after greeting Zhuge Xiang.
"Oh? So Li Zhi was also a member of the Tang Dynasty's royal family?" Li Buling's words startled Zhuge Xiang for a moment, then he suddenly realized.
A servant at the Nascent Soul stage must come from a distinguished family, and the Tang Dynasty was ruled by the Li family. It was unexpected that there would be a member of the Tang Dynasty's royal family who had never cultivated before.
"Greetings, Your Majesty," Li Zhi said, bowing slightly as he saw that Li Buling noticed him. As for his father's request for him to return home for the wedding, Li Zhi did not mention a word about it, nor did he give any answer.
"The Heaven-Piercing Tower has opened!"
Before Li Buling could say anything more, a loud shout suddenly rang out from the crowd. At the same time, all the Cultivator present could clearly feel with their Divine Sense that the space at the top of Heaven-Piercing Peak was rippling like the surface of water, and began to fluctuate irregularly.
At the Heaven-Piercing Peak, the space fluctuated, and everyone stared intently at the source of the fluctuations. Everyone knew that the once-in-a-decade opening of the Heaven-Piercing Tower had arrived, and soon the Heaven-Piercing Tower's gates would open.
The spatial fluctuations grew stronger and stronger, and in an instant, a spatial rift appeared. The pitch-black spatial rift, as black as lightning, grew longer and thicker, as if a piece of cloth had been torn apart, and the tear grew larger and larger.
"Go in!" As the crack appeared in the Heaven-Piercing Tower, many impatient Cultivator leaped into the air, Artifact Flight, and rushed towards the center of the crack.
The Heaven-Piercing Tower Ninth Layer, and the higher you go, the denser the spiritual energy becomes. Cultivating there is much more efficient, and it can even improve the quality of your magical Treasure Artifact. It's a treasure trove to stay in for even a second longer.
"Let's go in too," Zhuge Xiang said, watching the Cultivator rushing into the Spatial Rift like dumplings. He then flew over on his sword.
"Be careful once we're inside; it's very dangerous," Lu Yuling said, flying alongside Zhuge Xiang on her Artifact Flight. Having been inside once before, she was quite familiar with the Heaven-Piercing Tower.
Is there danger inside? Lu Yuling's words made Zhuge Xiang's heart tighten slightly. He was about to ask when he was interrupted by another voice.
"Miss Wu, thank you so much. I've longed to enter this Heaven-Piercing Tower for a long time, and I never thought I'd actually have the chance to do so." Wu Zhao, Artifact Flight Wu Zhao, was actually carrying Li Zhi, who had no cultivation whatsoever. This ordinary person had actually come into the Heaven-Piercing Tower with her.
"Actually, you shouldn't have come in," Wu Zhao said calmly, finding it hard to understand why Li Zhi, an ordinary person, would want to enter the Heaven-Piercing Tower.
"Hehe, just consider this fulfilling one of my wishes. Although I've never cultivated and don't know what the world of cultivators is like, I've read a lot about extraordinary people and events in the Cultivation World when I was studying, and I've been very curious about it for a long time." Li Zhi showed no fear of the Heaven-Piercing Tower, his face full of curiosity and anticipation.
"Lina, be careful when you enter Heaven-Piercing Peak. Although you have mastered the Lion Demon Roar, you haven't mastered the Turtle Demon Armor, so defense is your weakness." On the other side, the Mad Lion Tie Zhan also came over. Li Zhi followed Wu Zhao, while he naturally followed Mo Lingna.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Tie. My husband will protect me," Mo Lingna said, expressing her gratitude for Tie Zhan's concern, but still making her stance clear.
Tie Zhan glared fiercely at Zhuge Xiang, saying in a threatening tone, "You brat, you better watch out. If Lingna gets even the slightest injury, I won't let you off the hook."
"I will naturally protect my own woman with all my heart. You have no right to interfere," Zhuge Xiang said calmly, glancing sideways at Tie Zhan as he flew on his sword.
"You..." Zhuge Xiang's calm words ignited Tie Battle Will's anger. This guy really doesn't know how lucky he is. If he had won Mo Lingna's heart, he would have cherished her like a precious jewel.
Thousands of Cultivator rushed into the Heaven-Piercing Tower, Artifact Flight light, like a meteor shower, rushed in, and in the time it takes to drink One Incense Stick of tea, all of Cultivator had passed through the Spatial Rift and entered the interior of the Heaven-Piercing Tower.
Inside the Heaven-Piercing Tower is actually Minor Thousand Worlds created by Ancient Times Immortals. Naturally, the spiritual energy within this Minor Thousand Worlds is incredibly rich, much like a small Immortal Realm.
However, upon entering the Heaven-Piercing Tower, Zhuge Xiang Zhuge Xiang slightly. He couldn't sense any of the dense spiritual energy; instead, the Heaven-Piercing Tower was filled with incredibly dense dark Demonic Qi.
"What's going on? Why is there such a dense Demonic Qi inside this Heaven-Piercing Tower? This doesn't match the legends."
"How is this possible? Why would Demonic Qi appear within this Heaven-Piercing Tower?"
"Something's not right. This Heaven-Piercing Tower is completely different from what it was ten years ago."
Not only did Zhuge Xiang frown, but the thousands upon thousands of Cultivator rushed in also began to discuss and make a fuss. They could all feel that this Heaven-Piercing Tower was completely different from the Tower of Babel of ten years ago and from the legendary Heaven-Piercing Tower.
"No, this evil and filthy Demonic Qi will corrupt my True Essence. I must leave."
Abundant spiritual energy can boost one's cultivation, but this dark Demonic Qi can corrupt the True Essence of countless Righteous Path Cultivator. Therefore, upon sensing the anomaly at Heaven-Piercing Peak, Righteous Path Cultivator rushed out of the Heaven-Piercing Tower one after another.
However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred: the Spatial Rift slowly closed, and no one was able to leave... (To be continued...)
