The Ancestors Came as a Group to Break Through!

Is it almost there?

Hearing the sound, Lu Changzhi came back to his senses.

After taking control of the flying boat from Gu Chen, Lu Changzhi, guided by Gu Qingyang, slowly descended to a lower position.

The ground below appeared unremarkable, with nothing particularly unique to be found.

Only upon entering will one discover that it is actually an illusion.

"The ancestor's methods are truly formidable."

With a sigh, Lu Changzhi looked towards the interior.

The Nine-Story Tower rises majestically above the ground, seemingly connecting with the heavens and earth of the secret realm.

The tower seems to contain a unique power, possessing a certain mystique.

"So the Nine-Story Tower is actually here?"

Gu Chen stared at the Nine-Story Tower with a surprised expression, then, as if he had just thought of something, he looked back towards the Nine-Story Tower that had been outside earlier.

"If this is real, then what about over there...?"

Gu Chen uttered a soft sentence, his expression filled with emotion.

That's unbelievable!

I also learned some new knowledge.

After observing the flying boat for a while, Lu Changzhi looked around the tower.

There weren't many elders or patriarchs present at this time and place.

However, those present were all equally formidable in terms of aura and cultivation level.

At the point closest to the Nine-Story Tower, Lu Changzhi saw Jiang Yuanyin.

The other person's gaze was also directed at him.

"Greetings, Ancestor Jiang."

Lu Changzhi greeted him with a smile.

"There's no need for that."

Jiang Yuanyin waved his hand, then looked at Gu Chen and the others on the flying boat.

After a moment, his expression shifted slightly, and he chuckled:

"These little guys on Hidden Origin Peak are all quite formidable."

Before they could finish speaking, the flying boat had already landed on the ground.

Stepping off the flying boat and arriving near the Nine-Story Tower, one immediately feels a sense of its towering height reaching into the clouds.

"Ancestor Jiang, is there no sign of this Nine-Story Tower being related to the Beast Race?"

Lu Changzhi asked.

From the outside, the Nine-Story Tower gives off a rather tranquil feeling.

"No." Jiang Yuanyin gently shook his head.

"The Nine-Story Tower is a pure place of cultivation. Those who enter can sense the laws of heaven and earth contained within, thereby enhancing their understanding of these laws. There is nothing related to the Beast Race."

After a pause, Jiang Yuanyin said:

"The matter recorded in the Memento Jade is already under investigation. You will be informed when there is news."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Ancestor."

After thanking him, Lu Changzhi thought of Qin Han's fortunate encounter and added:

"By the way, Ancestor Jiang, there's one more thing that might require our attention."

"Perhaps people from other factions can also find a way to enter this secret realm."

He didn't say it directly, after all, such opportunities are hard to explain.

Unexpectedly, no sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Yuanyin said:

"Last night, there was a fluctuation of power in the southeast direction. According to my senior brother, it was an array used to spy on the secret realm, but it was destroyed by the person who was spying on it."

Last night?

Lu Changzhi said softly, then asked:

"Have you discovered any outsiders breaking in?"

"According to my senior brother, he didn't find any relevant signs when he went there," Jiang Yuanyin said.

Lu Changzhi's heart stirred slightly.

"It seems that Xia Ya of the Xia Clan must have entered the secret realm last night. However, the fact that he was able to deceive the ancestor shows that he must have some skill."

"In that case, after things are settled at the Nine-Story Tower, we'll have to go check on Qin Han."

The presence of such an external force is arguably a very unstable factor for the secret realm.

At least for now, we have no way of knowing the other party's cultivation level.

As Lu Changzhi was pondering this, another ancestor spoke up, explaining the specific purpose of the Nine-Story Tower.

Beyond the Saint Realm, what cultivators must master are the laws of heaven and earth.

The so-called laws of heaven and earth are actually the laws governing the operation of a certain power in the universe. In the realm of the Saint Realm, cultivators progress from cultivating spiritual power to later utilizing the power of heaven and earth. Utilizing the power of heaven and earth is essentially about utilizing the laws.

Mastering the laws of heaven and earth is a further step, allowing for a deeper understanding of these laws and thereby enhancing one's own application of power, ultimately reaching a point where one can refine one's own laws by referencing them.

However, since it is a reference, progress will undoubtedly be slow if one relies solely on one's own careful understanding.

The purpose of this Nine-Story Tower is to provide such a reference.

For cultivators above the Saint Realm, this is undoubtedly of great help.

Of course, this applies not only to those above the Saint Realm.

Those who are just one step away from reaching the Saint Realm may very well gain that crucial Sudden Enlightenment, thus taking that final step and ascending to the Saint Realm.

Those at a lower level, while not experiencing such effects, can enhance their perception of the so-called power of heaven and earth, which will have a subtle benefit on their future cultivation and growth.

It was precisely because the Nine-Story Tower had such a purpose that disciples, including those seeking knowledge, were not arranged to attend immediately.

They went to the other Nine-Story Tower to undergo the trial.

As for this side, priority is given to those with higher cultivation levels and more important statuses.

While gathering this information, Lu Changzhi was also observing the strength of the elders on the field.

"There are three Saint Kings... no, perhaps the senior brother that Ancestor Jiang mentioned hasn't returned yet, so there could be four..."

It would be a lie to say that this situation was not surprising.

After all, before coming here, he had always thought that there was only one Saint King here, Ancestor Jiang.

But right now, it's not just Ancestor Jiang who's alone.

Judging from the attitude and reaction of the outside world towards the Saint King, a Saint King is a top-tier existence.

And now, his Five Symbols Sect has a total of four!

"That's true, though."

After glancing at the Nine-Story Tower, Lu Changzhi understood something.

Given the current state of the tower, moving it seems quite difficult.

It's not surprising that more powerful Saint King ancestors are coming.

As for the ancestors at the Saint Realm, their numbers weren't too exaggerated, only about twenty in total.

Relatively speaking, there are many more who are just one step away from the Saint Realm; roughly estimated, there are nearly three hundred of them.

"It seems the ancestors have come as a group to try and break through."

Lu Changzhi thought to himself.

At this moment, Jiang Yuanyin gathered an astonishing amount of light with his power and walked over, saying:

"These lights should be enough for you to cultivate on the ninth level. Guide them and try to light up the tower symbol on your arm."

"Send me to the ninth floor?"

Lu Changzhi was stunned:

"Only one person can enter the ninth floor. If I go, wouldn't that mean..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yuanyin interrupted him:

"This is a decision made after discussion, Changzhi you don't need to worry about it anymore."

The other two Saint King Ancestors nodded in agreement.

Lu Changzhi paused for a moment, then looked up at the very top of the tower. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he asked:

"Ancestor Jiang, is it because the space inside is too small that only one person can enter the ninth floor, or...?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Li, the Saint King Ancestor who had just explained, spoke up:

"Each floor of the Nine-Story Tower has not only requirements for the amount of light it can receive, but also a limit on the number of people allowed in. Once one person enters the ninth floor, the entrance will close, and no one else can enter."

Is there a limit to the number of participants?

A smile suddenly appeared on Lu Changzhi's lips, and with a flash of light, the Nonhuman Plaque appeared in his hand.

The next moment, he walked towards the Nine-Story Tower.

"Let me give it a try."
