Volume Eight, Chapter Seven, Catastrophe(1/2)
The three finally climbed to the ninth floor.
Walking up to the highest stairs of the stone steps, they could not see any stone chamber. The surroundings were vast, as if it was a vast universe, endless.
The top floor of the Golden Tower should be the narrowest, but it is infinitely vast. The shadow tentatively walked forward. Although the feet looked void, they stepped on it extremely solidly.
Feng Zhaoyuan looked at the shadow: "Can you go home when you get here?"
The shadow looked around, with a blank expression on his face: "I can't be sure, when the spiritual tower came from the void, I should be able to return in the spiritual tower."
"Driving in the Spirit Tower? What does that mean?"
Fengzhao asked in confusion.
Shadow was silent for a long time and said, "You helped me come here, so I should not hide it from you. The spiritual tower is similar to your human aircraft."
Huskawa and Huoqi were stunned.
The shadow sighed: "What's so strange? Some of you immortals are also flying swords? Isn't the flying sword a flying weapon?"
Fengzhaoyuan was stunned: "That's true, but that's a bit weird."
"The spiritual tower was built by the greatest wise man in the void, with the purpose of exploring different universes."
Shadow continued.
"A different universe?"
"Outside the universe, of course, there are other universes. The vast world is so vast that you humans really know too little."
"But we are constantly improving."
Huozawa retorted unconvincedly.
“Progress is too slow.”
Shadow shook his head: "According to your Earth Year, as early as your Ice Age, the spiritual tower had left the void and explored the mysteries of the universe. Every time it reaches an alien space, it will collect the creatures there and store them in the spiritual tower."
Feng Zhaoyuan said in shock: "There is a species gene bank in the spiritual tower!"
Huoqi shouted in shock: "So who are the guardians of these spiritual towers?"
"It should be creatures from different universes. They were subdued and used to see the Wake Tower."
"But several of them know the language of humans, which is very similar to humans."
"The universe is infinite, and there are too many creatures similar to humans. Moreover, it is not difficult to let these creatures learn languages in different worlds. Do you think the gambler on the eighth level is really a stutter? He is just unfamiliar with human language."
Shadow explained patiently.
"So that's how it is."
Feng Zhaoyuan suddenly realized.
"I was driven out of the void many years ago."
The shadow trembled gently: "I came to your world and from then on, I began to wander alone."
Huine Naruhara said in surprise: "Are you driven out?"
Shadow snorted coldly and turned to the topic: "However, Void and I have always maintained a subtle sense of emotion. But hundreds of years ago, I suddenly lost this sense of emotion. I had an ominous premonition that Void had undergone drastic changes!"
"What kind of upheaval?"
Feng Zhaohara asked.
Shadow shook her head vigorously and took a deep breath: "Intuition tells me that the void has changed very terrifyingly, but I can't tell what happened. Thousands of years have passed, and I feel more and more lonely when I live here. I want to go back, even if I die, I will die in my hometown."
Feng Zhaohara was secretly shocked. What kind of drastic changes will happen in the void with many dark energy creatures?
"I met Alexander later."
Shadow sneered: "He used my superpower to do things for him, and I used his financial resources to find a way to return to the void. Finally one day, he accidentally got a map of the pyramid. He was very curious and asked me to lead more than a dozen masters of secret techniques to find out."
"I finally saw the Spirit Tower. I never expected it to stay in your world! The biting sunlight at noon shone directly into the desert. I knelt in front of the Spirit Tower and cried with joy. I knew that I had hope of going home!"
The shadow murmured.
Huozawara said: "But you didn't get to the ninth floor."
"Although I failed, hope has ignited in my heart. In recent years, in order to obtain the species gene bank again, Alexander has been looking for experts in secret techniques and supernatural abilities, so this expedition has taken place."
"Alexander does not deserve the species gene."
Feng Zhaoyuan's expression was serious and authentic.
Shadow laughed mockingly: "If I could return to the void this time, of course he wouldn't get anything."
Feng Zhaoyuan was funny in her heart, but she didn't expect this guy to play tricks too.
"The ninth floor is the center of the spiritual tower, and I must find a way to control the spiritual tower."
Shadow seemed very excited, and suddenly turned to Fengzawara and said, "Let me unlock the ban for you so that you can leave at any time, there is no need to take risks with me."
Huozawa shrugged: "I still want to earn Alexander's commission."
"A person like you, money can't impress you."
The shadow smiled and suddenly touched Feng Zhaoyuan's body. A shadow pierced out of the latter's body like a ghost, swaying gently around, from black to pure white, and gradually faded until it slowly disappeared.
"Okay, the ban has been lifted."
The shadow left Fengzhaohara and walked forward without hesitation.
"Are we leaving?"
He asked Feng Zhaohara in a curious way that he originally wanted to get the power to compete with Fa Zhuangqing. Now that he knew the secret of the spiritual tower, the ninth level had no meaning to him.
"Since you've come here, take a look and then leave."
Feng Zhaoyuan's eyes were burning and he followed the shadow.
“It seems like there is nothing here.”
Feng Zhaoyuan frowned and said, "Inside his vision, there was a vast distance."
Shadow decisively denies: "Impossible, the greatest wise man in the void should be on the ninth level."
Fengzhaohara was shocked, and the shadow slowly said: "He set out alone by the time he was driving the spirit tower, and there was no reason not to be here."
"The greatest wise man in the void is probably an immortal."
Huine Naruto was aroused of strong curiosity.
The three of them took a few more steps forward, and the scene in front of them suddenly changed!
A gorgeous sea of flowers appeared around them, and the flowers were as big as millstones, blooming, layer by layer, layer by layer, colorful and fragrant.
“These flowers are a little strange.”
He was curious and uneasy, and the three of them were careful and wary. The sea of flowers seemed to be a huge maze. No matter how they circled around, they could not pass through this sea of flowers. The gorgeous colors completely charmed the eyes of the three people, and even the direction was difficult to tell.
"I'm afraid it's not a solution to go on like this."
Huichi was a little panting, and his eyes were full of colorful colors. After a long time, his head became dizzy.
Shadow pondered for a while and said resolutely: "Let's go up!"
“Up?”
Hunting raised his head in confusion, the sky was blurry, and the vision was difficult to tell, and I didn't know how high it was.
Shadow nodded, grabbed Feng Zhaoyuan and Lieqi with both hands, and the figure flashed and flew upwards.
With a dull "bang", the three of them collided with a hard object.
The surrounding scene suddenly changed again.
High and thick stalagmites surrounded them, and they were in a dense stone forest. Feng Zhaohara rubbed her forehead and stared at a rough and round stalagmites in front of her. They had obviously had close contact with it just now.
Shadow was stunned: "I should be able to pass through it. Can these stalagmites block the dark energy?"
Lieqi said in surprise: "We are running upwards. Is such a large stone forest floating in the air?"
Feng Zhaoyuan stomped his feet, confused: "But the ground under his feet clearly shows that we are not in mid-air."
The shadow smiled bitterly: "Look, this stone forest looks like a huge maze again."
The three of them looked at each other. The stone forest was boundless, with gray-white stalagmites emerging one after another, spreading to the end of their sight.
"This seems to be a formation."
The thousand-year-old white fox suddenly shouted.
"What is a formation?"
Dingdong blinked his eyes and asked curiously.
"Speak, don't interrupt!"
The Thousand-year-old White Fox gave him a thunderous thunder without hesitation.
Feng Zhaoyuan's expression was shocked: "What do you mean is the sea of flowers and the stone forests are all artificially arranged mazes?"
“There is this possibility.”
The Thousand-year-old White Fox pondered: "In my opinion, the ninth layer is clearly a formation. No matter you jump up and down, you will fall into various mazes and spin inside."
"If it's a formation, it's easy."
The wind shone the original friction chakra, spewing out demonic fire, and the six-colored lotus bloomed layer by layer, hovered in the air for several times, and suddenly floated to the left.
“Follow it!”
Feng Zhaoyuan was excited and followed the trajectory of the demon fire. Although Li Qi didn't understand what was going on, he trusted Feng Zhaoyuan very much and immediately followed. Shadow thought about it and followed him from afar, keeping away from Yao Huo.
The demon fire was circling and zigzag, floating all the way. After passing by a few stalagmites, its speed suddenly accelerated and it flew forward.
