The golden Treasure Pagoda was unlike the pagodas Fang Chen and the others had seen before. It had twelve floors, rose ten thousand zhang high, and radiated dazzling Golden Light.
"What a huge tower!"
Fang Chen and the others were stunned by the sight of it.
Fang Chen opened his eyes and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lei Shan, what is that enormous golden Treasure Pagoda inside the Identity Token?"
The others heard him and opened their eyes to look at Heavenly Emperor Lei Shan.

Through your Identity Tokens, your consciousness can enter the tower and consult whatever you wish to read. I suggest you start with the Outer Heavens Essential Knowledge!"
"It can do that?"
Fang Chen and the others were astonished.
Heavenly Emperor Lei Shan nodded. "Yes, though most of the Cultivation Techniques and Secret Manuals inside require payment. Some books are free. The higher your access level, the more books you can read for free. For now, take a look at those. They'll help you understand the Outer Heavens faster and more thoroughly!"
Heavenly Emperor Lei Shan knew that, for people like Fang Chen who had just arrived in the Outer Heavens, the most important thing was to learn about it first. Only then could they adapt to life here more quickly.
