The Final Floor
Over the next few days, Qin Fei actively triggered the restrictions to teleport to different levels.
On each floor, he would carefully record the murals and organize the text in order.
This suddenly raised a question in his mind.
Why does the Yama Hall collect these murals? Do they perhaps know what the writing on them means?
The outcome remains unknown, but the Yama Hall must have gone to great lengths for a reason.
Shaking his head, Qin Fei stopped thinking about it and stepped into the jade chamber again.
The floor you are teleported to is highly random, and there is a high probability that you will be teleported to a floor you have been to before.
However, there's not much you can do to control it; you can only keep trying.
During this time, he encountered Gu worm cultivators several times.
That person always tried to attack him, but Qin Fei had no intention of fighting back. He simply stepped onto the jade stone and teleported away.
The Gu worm cultivator was helpless, and when he encountered it again later, he simply pretended not to see it.
Through countless teleportations, Qin Fei finally met those Foundation Establishment cultivators.
They all frowned, completely helpless against the mechanisms and restrictions within the tower.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and I have accumulated more and more murals; I only need a few more layers to complete the set.
Unfortunately, I was unlucky and was never able to reach it.
Just then, the Yama Pendant suddenly glowed faintly, and the voice of the Impermanence Envoy came from it.
"Seventy-Seven, how's the mapping for each floor coming along?"
Qin Fei dared not be negligent and replied respectfully:
"Reporting to Senior, I have drawn a total of 105 maps, but I am still unable to teleport to the 12th, 98th, and 104th floors."
Yama Pendant, however, didn't seem to care at all, and even said with some delight:
"Well done. The others have already drawn the other three floors. You can come back now."
Qin Fei understood immediately and quickly agreed.
The light from Yama Pendant faded, and he walked towards the exit.
Like the entrance, each floor has an exit, but once you enter, you will be immediately teleported outside the tower.
"I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to see what the others painted. If I could gather together the other murals, I could know the complete order of the text."
After a dizzying moment, the view suddenly opened up before me.
Qin Fei identified a direction, spread his wings, and sped away.
In the valley where they first met, several figures were already waiting.
"Impermanence Envoy, the mission is now complete. You cannot stop me from taking action against Seventy-Seven."
"We have some grudges between us, which must be resolved."
The Gu worm cultivator said with some complaint.
"As long as the mission is successfully completed, I won't concern myself with the rest."
Impermanence Envoy him expressionless; he didn't even open his eyes.
Upon hearing this, the Gu worm cultivator finally felt relieved.
He gave a sinister smile, already thinking about what kind of Gu poison he should plant on Qin Fei after capturing him.
Not long after, a black-robed monk wearing a cloak and a white demon mask landed on the ground.
"Seventy-Seven, you're finally back."
The Impermanence Envoy a soft "Eh," then his expression returned to normal.
Where is what I asked for?
A Jade Slip flew out from behind the black-robed cultivator and landed in the hand of the Impermanence Envoy.
After carefully inspecting it, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Good, then you can consider this task complete."
"Remember, in the future, only accept missions within your capabilities. Otherwise, if you fail, forced missions will still be assigned, and you might not be so lucky next time."
After giving his instructions, he didn't linger any longer and flew away.
The Gu worm cultivator frowned and surrounded him. He felt that the black-robed cultivator's aura was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Could it be that Breath-Concealing Talisman was used?"
"I don't care what tricks you're up to, if you dare touch my Gu worms, you'll regret ever being born today."
He made a Method Formula with one hand, and suddenly his body glowed with green light.
Countless white worms surged out and crawled towards the black-robed cultivator.
The worms crawled very fast, leaving wet trails wherever they went, and soon white smoke began to rise.
The black-robed cultivator remained motionless, allowing the worms to crawl onto his body.
The Gu worm cultivator felt increasingly uneasy and suddenly shouted:
"Not good."
He hurriedly tried to retrieve the Gu worm, but the next moment, the black-robed figure shone brightly, and the yellow light emitted by the talisman could be seen even through the clothes.
"Bang!"
A massive explosion sent flames soaring into the sky, leveling everything within a few steps.
The aftershocks sent the Gu worm cultivator flying, along with thousands upon thousands of worms, all blasted into dust.
The slurry fell to the ground, making a "sizzling" sound.
Looking at the black-robed figure again, only a few mechanical limbs remained in place.
This isn't Qin Fei at all; he's clearly a puppet!
Realizing he had been tricked, the Gu worm cultivator flew into a rage.
"Seventy-Seven, don't let me find you!"
At this moment, Qin Fei returned to the hundred-story tower.
"As expected, there's no chance to see the murals painted by others; it seems I'll have to climb layer by layer."
Come to think of it, why would the Impermanence Envoy publish the collected results, only to benefit others for nothing?
Qin Fei originally planned to return to Shangyu Market after completing the mission and no longer get involved in the affairs of the secret realm.
However, during his search for the murals, he confirmed that there were no other dangers inside the tower.
In that case, there was no rush to leave.
Upon arriving on the first floor, Qin Fei did not clear the area again. Instead, he found a secluded corner to sit down and closed his eyes to rest.
People came and went in the hall, and the cultivators kept trying to find a way to break the spell.
Sometimes people are teleported to other places, and sometimes they are teleported back.
Qin Fei wasn't in a hurry, so he simply started cultivating on the spot.
Three days later, at some point, the last cultivator on the first floor was also teleported away.
Qin Fei suddenly opened his eyes.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was teleporting back, his figure transformed into a gust of wind, taking hundreds of steps to reach the entrance to the second floor, where he plunged in.
Upon reaching the second floor, he found a secluded spot and waited patiently.
Since teleportation is random, there will always be a moment in each level when no one is there.
As long as you seize this opportunity, you can climb up the ladder layer by layer without anyone noticing.
This was Qin Fei's plan.
It's just a waste of time; you can still cultivate in the tower, so it's not a delay.
And so, he stayed there.
The mechanisms and restrictions of the hundred-story tower have stumped countless cultivators, with even Foundation Establishment cultivators concluding that no one can break through them.
Gradually, the crowd's enthusiasm for the tower waned, and most cultivators chose to explore other parts of the secret fortuitous opportunity.
Only a few newcomers, still unwilling to give up, hoped to break the restrictions by chance and soar to great heights.
The number of explorers was greatly reduced, and Qin Fei's climbing time was also shortened drastically.
At first, when we were lucky, it would take three or four days to find a break to climb to a higher floor.
If you're unlucky, you might not make any progress for a whole month.
Nowadays, it's common to encounter a situation where you go up to a floor and find that there's not a single person there.
From then on, Qin Fei entered a period of rapid advancement.
Ten floors, fifty floors, one hundred floors...
Three months later.
Qin Fei's figure blurred for a moment and then appeared on the 108th floor.
The last layer!
Within this level, there stood a massive bronze door, its destination unknown.
It seems the fortuitous opportunity within the tower lies behind the bronze door.
But before he could feel any joy, a figure in the distance made his pupils shrink sharply.
Inside the safe zone, a familiar figure was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Fairy Caiyi.
