That's right! The Nine-Story Demon Tower!
Gu Cheng stared at the stone tower before him, dumbfounded.
Only one term filled his mind.
"The Nine-Story Demon Tower?!!"
Setting aside its material, this stone tower was practically identical to the Nine-Story Demon Tower he had seen beneath Kunlun Glacier.
Only, the one beneath Kunlun Glacier had been built from countless logs.
The one before him was built from black stone.
The one beneath Kunlun Glacier had corpses hanging all around every floor.
This one did not.
Aside from the corpses, the one beneath Kunlun Glacier had been practically teeming with Fire Beetles.
But this one, perhaps because it did not have so many corpses, had only one, and it was an eerie red.
If not for that Fire Beetle, he would have had trouble recalling the Nine-Story Demon Tower right away.
"Why is there a Nine-Story Demon Tower here?!"
"And inside Magnetic Mountain, at that?!"
Gu Cheng practically racked his brains to pieces.
Finally, he remembered.
The Nine-Story Demon Tower was a tomb for the monarchs of the Demon Kingdom.
The Demon Kingdom had once stood near Kunlun Mountain, so it was perfectly normal for its royal tombs to be situated in Kunlun Glacier.
As for Jingjue Ancient City, it was, strictly speaking, a nation rebuilt by survivors of the Demon Kingdom who returned to the sacred Mount Zagrama after the kingdom's fall. In terms of customs, they might still have carried on
the traditions of the Demon Kingdom, and thus built this Nine-Story Demon Tower.
At this thought, Gu Cheng felt his guess was probably pretty close to the truth.
Then something else occurred to him, something exciting.
If this Nine-Story Demon Tower was the royal tomb of the Jingjue Ji Kingdom, did that mean there really was a passage leading
