Finally, you're back.

This statement deeply affected Wang Wen.

In his memory, no one had ever made a special trip to wait for him.

Even the old man from the previous life had his own things to do and wouldn't stay there specifically to wait for Wang Wen.

And my parents, I never saw them again when I came back in this lifetime.

Two lifetimes combined, and all that's left in my mind are some scattered fragments of memories.

My impression of the two of them has become somewhat hazy.

As for the friends outside the tower, they are all busy with their own things.

At most, they would gather once he left the tower to celebrate that he was still alive.

Then they dispersed and went about their own business, not waiting specifically for the sake of waiting.

The little Fox in front of me has lived for countless years. It seems to have an extremely precise grasp of human nature and is also very patient and persevering.

A simple sentence stirred up Wang Wen's calm, still heart.

Wang Wen did not respond.

He glanced at the Fox without making a sound, then waved his hand, releasing his spiritual power to lift her out of the stone chamber.

He probably didn't even realize it himself.

The Fox had clearly been cured and was able to walk on its own.

Moreover, this is a powerful demon who has long since taken human form and possesses profound magical power. Even if it is injured, it can fly as long as it is not bound by shackles.

There was absolutely no need for him to help carry her.

Now let's look at the little Fox itself.

They seemed somewhat surprised when they were first lifted up.

However, she quickly lay down quietly, nestled in Wang Wen's powerful mental energy hand, and contentedly squinted her eyes.

The group left and returned to the room Cassia Seed was being held.

"Master!" Zhu Xingguo asked curiously when he saw Wang Wen carrying the little Fox in, "Has the Imperial Preceptor turned back into his original form? Is it alright?"

Wang Wen turned her head to look at the Fox, as if remembering something, and withdrew her energy to put her on the ground.

The Fox reluctantly transformed into a familiar human form, casually draped a thin veil over itself, and bowed to Zhu Xingguo, saying, "Thank you for your concern, immortal. This little fox is now fully recovered."

"I'm no immortal, hahaha..." Zhu Xingguo couldn't help but grin.

Wang Wen stepped forward to check on the injuries of Cassia Seed and his apprentice.

The elderly man's injuries were not too serious, and he has almost fully recovered after treatment with the Health Potion.

He personally swore to cure the Cassia Seed, and it is now completely healed.

Wang Wen was relieved.

On the other side.

Cheng Queyi looked at the icy beauty whose body was covered by a thin veil with some wariness.

Even though I know they're just local natives.

But the other person was so beautiful that even I, as a woman, couldn't resist her charm and subconsciously developed a lot of affection for her.

The Fox, now in human form, saw Cheng Queyi clutching Wang Wen's sleeve and looked on with envy. "This must be the immortal's partner, right? As expected of immortals, they are truly unlike ordinary people; their appearance and skin are worlds apart from us mortals."

Seeing how cautiously she tried to approach but dared not, Cheng Queyi's wariness lessened considerably.

Then listen to her words, which she wasn't good at but tried so hard to say in a flattering way.

He sighed inwardly.

Cheng Queyi was the only woman present, and only she could see the fox demon's feelings that he was trying so hard to hide.

That's something most men wouldn't understand—a deep-seated dependence on the strong.

Even the most ambitious and competitive woman may be able to face an enemy alone with the strength and fearlessness of a man.

But they are naturally delicate.

This vulnerability only unconsciously surfaces when one finds a safe haven.

At this very moment, the fox demon was caught in this emotional state.

It envied the Cassia Seed that was cared for by Wang Wen.

I envy the immortals who have Wang Wen by their side.

She even envied Cheng Queyi, who had a hem of her dress to hold.

A few minutes later.

All those who were imprisoned have been rescued.

Wang Wen carried the crowd back to the ground.

He attempted to create celestial stones using the energy available today.

The completed immortal stone doesn't need any magical infusion to activate it.

It contains energy of equal mass within itself.

This energy is vastly different from the magic it previously possessed.

Just holding it in your hand, you can feel its vibrant energy.

Cassia Seed and his apprentice took turns examining the "new immortal stone." The old man looked up at Wang Wen with a complicated expression and said, "It's not comparable to what it used to be. It seems that Master's immortal power has improved again."

Wang Wen nodded, then turned to the group of five who had been holding their breath, especially their leader, and said, "You're lucky; everyone's still alive."

The leader wiped his sweat, lowered his head, and dared not utter a sound.

Wang Wen continued, "Since the Cassia Seed is alright, then your lives are also saved."

The five thanked him profusely, saying, "We'll leave now and will never appear at this checkpoint again!"

"No." Wang Wen shook her head. "Don't you like to linger? This way, your lives will be tied to theirs from now on. If any of them die, you die with them."

The five men were startled.

The leader raised his head, his gaze sweeping around before finally settling on Master Cassia Seed. Trembling, he pointed at him and wailed, "What if that old man dies of old age? And I'll be blamed for it?"

"Of course." Wang Wen nodded matter-of-factly. "So you'll probably have to take good care of him in the future, and try your best not to let him pass away before you."

The leader nearly spat out blood. "This is way too fair!"

He turned to his four teammates and urged them to fight back, "Are you just going to watch things get so messed up? At least fight for a normal life!"

The four team members thought about it.

They looked at each other for a moment.

Finally, he spoke to Wang Wen, saying, "We will follow Teacher Wang's instructions; if they die, we won't live either."

The leader is petrochemical.

Wang Wen smiled with satisfaction at the four team members and comforted the leader, saying, "Actually, if you really feel it's unfair, there's a way. Just commit suicide now, then you won't have to compete with the old man for longevity, right?"

The leader had a long face.

Finally, he obediently walked up to Schisandra and said in a heavy tone, "Old man... old man, I was wrong. I was wrong before. You can punish me as you please, but from now on, my life is in your hands. Please take good care of yourself!"

Schisandra snorted coldly and turned her head away, ignoring him.

The leader's temper suddenly softened. With a long face, he retrieved some bottles and jars from the aircraft and handed them to the old man. "These are all tonics to strengthen your body and improve your health. Take them all and eat them as your meals. I'm counting on you for the rest of my life."

As he spoke, he stole a glance at Wang Wen, and seeing that she was no longer paying attention to him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The thought of his miserable future made him frown again.

The world outside the tower is now controlled by someone with one hand, so leaving the tower is definitely not an option.

We can only hope to find a way to escape through a different level.

He was also worried that he might be unlucky and get caught by Wang Wen again.

Who knows how powerful this "freak" is, who can even interrupt teleportation outside the tower!

The leader here was deeply conflicted.

Wang Wen had already stopped paying attention to him.

After dealing with the issue of the stranded individuals, he used the [Oath Scepter] to create a large number of energy immortal stones for Cassia Seed to cultivate.

The advantage of this mass production method is that it is quick and efficient.

The downside is that it consumes more energy than creating something from nothing using the Five-Fold Enlightenment.

This means that the World Tower also incorporates time costs into creation, collecting more energy from Wang Wen while simultaneously eliminating Wang Wen's opportunity to exploit others with the Scepter.

Fortunately, Wang Wen no longer intends to rely on creating things to accumulate Point.

Based on the calculation that one million Point every 5 minutes, one hour would only Point 12 million points, and one day would only yield less than 300 million points.

Making money is even slower than in Four Squares Formation.

It's not worth it at all.

Time passed by unnoticed, and it was already past 10 a. m. on Sunday morning.

I've been spending too much time on this level.

I just wanted to say hello to an old friend and have a meal together.

I never expected so many things to happen.

There hasn't even been a sliver of progress yet.

Wang Wen turned to the Fox and asked, "Do you have any hostile monsters or anything like that over there? We need to kill some monsters to complete our progress."

The Fox tilted its head back and asked, "May I?"

"Did you understand what I said? It's 'kill,' not 'collect.'" Wang Wen glanced at the ninety-odd progress points above her head and said helplessly, "Besides, one of you isn't enough."

The Fox shook its head. "This little fox has no enemies, and no demon should interfere with the affairs of the immortals. You may do as you please, Your Highness."

Wang Wen took out the Scepter, sensed the remaining energy, and said to her, "Just recommend some, I'll leave after I'm done killing them."

"Are we leaving already?" A hint of reluctance flashed in the Fox's eyes. After thinking for a moment, it said, "Then let's choose some demons that specialize in absorbing the essence or flesh of mortals to cultivate. It's because of them that humans hate us demons so much."

Under the Fox's guidance, Wang Wen summoned several not-so-strong but infamous evil demons, consuming about three-thousandths of their energy to reach the required progress and clear the level.

A level with a large integer number of 500 floors.

Excluding other costs and only considering progress-related costs, it only costs 0.3%.

This magnitude is well within acceptable limits.

Wang Wen was very satisfied.

He praised the Fox, "Good job, you've been helpful. What reward would you like? How about the new energy immortal stones?"

The Fox nodded. "Okay."

Wang Wen looked at her, puzzled. "Not satisfied? How about the tonics that Jue Cassia Seed and the others have?"

The Fox simply nodded indifferently. "Okay."

Wang Wen was now a little puzzled.

He frowned and asked, "You're not satisfied with anything, so what exactly do you want?"

The Fox shook its head. "Immortal, you may bestow whatever you desire. This little fox dares not ask for too much, I only ask to be by your side during your descent to the mortal realm."

She glanced at the hem of the garment in Cheng Queyi's hand and secretly added in her heart, "It would be even better if I could hold onto the immortal's robes."

The hardest thing to bear is the favor of a beautiful woman.

Wang Wen finally started to feel a headache coming on.

He always preferred to keep clear accounts even between close brothers.

Do things decisively and without hesitation.

Avenge wrongs and repay kindness.

If you help someone, you have to repay them.

The worst situation is when someone doesn't want anything at all.

"I have to hurry, I'll come see you again next time." Wang Wen used her Scepter to create a bunch of thumb-sized energy stones and haphazardly stuffed them into the Fox.

He ushered everyone into the portal.

Standing in the light.

He watched silently as the Fox held a pile of magic stones, its eyes filled with reluctance yet remaining silent, and a sense of irritation welled up within him.

The hand holding the Scepter unconsciously tightened its grip.

A white light appeared.

End of 500 floors.

From here onwards, what follows are the so-called super high-rise buildings.

The difficulty increases dramatically, whether it's the scattered number level or the small integer level.

The fulfillment of vows takes longer and requires significantly more energy.

From 501 to 509, the average consumption per scattered layer is about one ten-thousandth.

Adding them together, it comes close to one in a thousand.

The 510 small integer layer directly burned out one-thousandth of the entire layer.

This is equivalent to the total energy of a nuclear missile launched by the Six Great Consortiums.

Every time Wang Wen thinks about this, she wants to go out of the tower and beat up the heads of the Six Great Consortiums.

Sunday, 12 PM.

We've reached the 600th floor of the World Tower.

The three who had just reached level 600 unlocked the power of the world.

Cheng Queyi pondered with skepticism about her seemingly transformation from a novice to a top-tier Tower Climber.

It just doesn't feel real.

I kept pinching my cheek, thinking the dream was just too realistic.

Chen Hansheng fell silent as he looked at the exchange ratio of the world's power.

This was the first time he had felt like a poor man.

Mo Ran was finally able to completely repair the "crippled body" he had inherited from Qin Dongbei.

Finally, they were able to move the fatal organ back to its normal position from a certain part of the intestine.

He remarked to Wang Wen, "No wonder I always feel a sense of dread, like I'm being watched by a powerful enemy, whenever I go to the toilet."

Wang Wen patted him on the shoulder and praised, "That's good. You know you should spend money to repair it and save me energy."

Mo Ran snorted and tossed his head, "Since you've worked so hard to help me climb such a high level of the tower, I'll pass on the boxing gloves."

"That won't do." Wang Wen shook her head. "The boxing gloves are the payment I promised you for your work, and the leash is a favor you owe me. One thing at a time, don't try to get away with it!"

"Oh, look at how stingy you are!" Mo Ran scoffed disdainfully, but a touch of emotion stirred within her.

He knew that Wang Wen was saying that on purpose.

To avoid putting too much psychological pressure on him.

Anyone with a brain could figure that out.

In one trip to the World Tower, I lay down and ascended to the 600th floor.

What's this?

This is an absolutely incredible blessing!

This kind of blessing doesn't discriminate against anyone; anyone who comes and takes a trip to the tower can reach this height.

It has nothing to do with ability.

It was purely a favor from the one who brought the tower.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a "gift"!

Wang Wen could choose to team up with anyone she cared about to enter the tower.

Even a complete novice like Cheng Queyi, who hadn't even reached the tenth floor, could climb to the top in one go.

Needless to say, the others are even less of a concern.

No effort is required throughout the entire process.

Only Wang Wen is working hard.

At most, he can add one more apprentice, Zhu Xingguo.

These two people managed to get three burdens up to 600 floors in half a day.

It's terrifying to even hear that.

Mo Ran knew perfectly well that anyone in her position would feel indebted to Wang Wen, a debt they could never repay in their lifetime.

He knew that Wang Wen deliberately used a teasing tone to treat the matter as a joke, because she didn't want the three of them to bear too much psychological pressure, lest they end up not even being able to remain friends.

I couldn't help but feel a little moved.

The way he looked at Wang Wen became somewhat complicated.

Wang Wen nodded slightly when she saw Mo Ran's expression.

I thought to myself, "What a joke! If all that energy is wasted on a pair of lousy boxing gloves, where am I going to find such a good stuntman?"

There were five people present.

The four people each had their own agenda.

The 600th floor opened amidst this eerie atmosphere.

Cheng Queyi and the others stared at Wang Wen in shock. "Are we going to continue??"

Wang Wen, sensing the energy, said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm just replenishing my mana."

Same-Floor Teleportation!

That incredibly fast-paced level that I only glimpsed once!

500 points, I'm back!

Wang Wen touched the Scepter, looking at the remaining 3 uses of [Unity with Heaven and Man].

I've made up my mind.

This trip, whatever its secrets, let's treat the whole world as a tonic first!
