Chapter 878: Chapter 900: Entering the Tower!

Chu Linfeng’s words slightly surprised the elder. This young man suddenly appeared with such formidable power and knowledge of the secret of the Death Tower Land, which was truly unexpected. Perhaps he really had a way to enter the Fourth Layer, and once he obtained the items inside, he should be able to return.

"Are you serious about this? Do you really have the confidence to break the entrance to the Fourth Layer? You must know that there are many strong opponents inside the tower. Almost every day, people try to breach it, but no one has succeeded, and everyone who attempts to break the entrance ends up severely injured," the elder looked at Chu Linfeng and said.

"Of course, it’s true. Do I look like someone who jokes? Tell me in detail about the situation inside the tower, so I can prepare accordingly. Also, why are you outside while others are inside the tower practicing?" Chu Linfeng laughed.

"I am outside because I have grown weary of the days inside. You must know that anyone would become bored after staying in the same environment for hundreds or even thousands of years. Initially, I was also full of confidence to break the entrance, but repeated failures made me lose hope, and each failure resulted in increasingly severe injuries. Even a fool knows to stop.

So, I stayed outside the tower to practice. Firstly, to prevent more people from entering the tower, because once inside, it’s very difficult to come out. My own exit was an accident. I don’t even know how I came out. I was recuperating from my injuries, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself outside the tower," the elder explained.

"It seems you were transported out. There are three towers here, and the last one is inaccessible. Are the other two the same? Don’t you think someone might be manipulating all this?" Chu Linfeng asked. He knew that Zhang Lijuan had also come out from here; her strength wasn’t as formidable as this elder’s, but that was merely because she was younger and had less practice time.

"The situation inside the tower is different from outside. Inside, strength is also suppressed, but only by half, and the space inside is vast. It’s shrouded in mist, so you can’t see very far. Based on the number of people I’ve encountered over the years, there are at least hundreds of people inside, but encountering someone even once a day is considered lucky.

The specific situation can only be known once you enter the tower. The conditions for the first two towers are the same. Whether it’s Martial Skills or treasures, they are the same; once the entrance of the first tower is breached, the second tower can also be breached.

The Third Tower is the most special, truly unreachable. The greater the attack power, the greater the rebound force received, so no one approaches the Third Tower. Most people remain in the First Tower because with more people, the chances of breaking through are greater.

The most intriguing feature inside the tower is the sporadic appearance of golden text. These are profound Martial Skills, which generally last for about half a stick of incense. Usually, people can remember them, and there are many types of Martial Skills, but each will have a note saying that mastery of the skill is required to break through to a higher level.

So, everyone is practicing inside. Some have fully mastered the Martial Skills but are still unable to breach the entrance, though their strength has indeed increased significantly. That’s one of the reasons people are unwilling to leave.

Some are transported out, only to return repeatedly. I’ve shared the extent of my knowledge. Do you think you can do it?" The elder looked at Chu Linfeng after speaking.

"It does sound mysterious, but don’t worry, I can certainly break through. Since there are fewer people in the Second Tower, let’s enter there so we won’t be disturbed." Chu Linfeng said.

"I don’t want to enter for now. Once you break through the Fourth Layer, I’ll naturally enter. Here, once one layer is breached, the entire tower will glitter with golden light, and I’ll know then." The elder replied.

Chu Linfeng knew the old fellow was using him as a tool, but he didn’t mind. Coming here was originally a gamble on fortune, and if he could obtain some heaven-defying items, all the better. If not, he wouldn’t feel regretful as he had already obtained the Li-Fire Crystal, which was quite a gain.

Chu Linfeng didn’t hesitate and headed straight for the Second Tower, unaware that the elder was secretly smiling, thinking: "The number of people in the Second Tower is indeed low because the most powerful can only remain on the Second Layer, and inside is akin to Hell, extremely terrifying. Let’s see how you survive this time!"

If Chu Linfeng knew the old fellow was deceiving him, he would certainly kill him. While he had been lenient, the old fellow didn’t know his bounds.

Soon, Chu Linfeng reached the facade of the Second Tower. On the tower door were written characters unlike those of the Nether Race, resembling the Ancient Seal of Canglan Ancient Land, but he couldn’t recognize them.

"Lin Feng, I understand now. I didn’t anticipate your luck being so good. I’m utterly delighted!" Sword Spirit suddenly said something seemingly unrelated, leaving Chu Linfeng puzzled.

"What are you so happy about? Did you find a treasure? Just spit it out in one breath; keeping me in suspense is quite annoying, much like how some authors update slowly—it’s extremely frustrating. However, she is stockpiling for a bomb release, which will end soon!" (Haha!)

"The characters on the tower are the exclusive Immortal Seal Script of the Immortal Realm. This is actually a remarkable Magical Treasure, quite unexpected to find in the Netherworld. The owner of this tower and I were very good friends back in the day, the Ice and Snow Fairy. She was of the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Realm.

She was exceedingly beautiful, but after practicing the Ice and Snow Treasure Manual, her entire being exuded a cold, icy aura, hence the name Ice and Snow Fairy. This tower is called Three Profound Tower, and it was famous in the Immortal Realm, capable of dividing into three parts—truly magical. I believe Zhang Lijuan’s mentioned master should be her!" Sword Spirit said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Linfeng slightly furrowed his brow, then said, "So, does that mean I can obtain this Three Profound Tower, along with the items inside?"

"It seems plausible, but right now you still might need to expend some effort to break these entrance barriers. Cold Ice Fairy is not easily approachable; she might also be a Soul Body, revealing these three towers possibly to restore her Power of Soul. If you can assist her, I believe you will obtain it," Sword Spirit said.

"With your words, I am assured. It appears it was indeed the right decision to come to Death Tower Land this time, though I wonder if Ice and Snow Fairy is more beautiful compared to you," Chu Linfeng chuckled.

"You really are irrepressibly mischievous. The Ice and Snow Fairy is renowned for being cold and unfeeling. If you dare have any improper desires toward her, just wait for your death. You really don’t know the height of the sky, wanting to claim beauties whenever you see them," Sword Spirit said discontentedly.

Chu Linfeng stopped speaking; after all, he was only casually mentioning it. He had little interest in a Soul Body, since the Sword Spirit had already been a source of headaches for him for quite some time; knowing without being able to grasp is an experience only he could truly understand.

Soon after, Chu Linfeng stepped through the tower door. From the outside, the interior of the tower could be clearly seen, but upon entry, it felt as if he had entered another world, wholly obscured by mist with no end in sight.

Indeed, it’s much like what the old fellow described; the place is filled with eeriness, so he must tread cautiously, Chu Linfeng mused to himself.

Gradually, as he expanded his Divine Sense, Chu Linfeng discovered that the space inside was vast. With his current Divine Sense, he couldn’t perceive the boundaries, so he immediately brought out Chu Qing and Chu Tong from his Storage Ring.

Upon appearing and seeing the surroundings, Chu Tong immediately said, "Such a sophisticated Illusion Realm, even more impressive than what I can currently exhibit. Big brother, where is this place? How can there be such an Illusion Realm?"

"We are inside a tower now. I’m completely clueless about illusions. Tong’er, quickly find any exits leading us to the Second Layer. I’ve been looking around and it’s just all fog and nothing else," Chu Linfeng said.

"Though the illusion is advanced, it’s useless against me. I am the Illusory Child, and I can find an exit in any Illusion Realm, a skill unmatched even by Sister Qing," Chu Tong laughed.

"Chu Tong, are you itching for a beating, daring to mention Sister Qing like that? However, in this aspect, you are indeed more skilled than Sister Qing. Be quick and find the entrance to the Second Layer for big brother to enter!" Chu Qing said.

Chu Tong nodded and then swiftly transformed into the Illusion Pearl’s true form, circled in the sky once, and disappeared from sight. After a while, he returned, transformed back into a human form, and said to Chu Linfeng, "Big brother, follow me. The entrance to the Second Layer is five meters ahead, but I discovered that there are dozens of high-level practitioners training in the First Layer, which is quite peculiar."

"Hmm, I understand. These people are preparing to enter the Second Layer but haven’t found the entrance, so they are honing Martial Skills to boost their strength in preparation to breach the entrance. Let’s not bother with these people and quickly enter the Second Layer instead," Chu Linfeng said.

With Chu Tong leading the way, Chu Linfeng and Chu Qing quickly arrived at the Second Layer. It was similarly shrouded in mist, yet Chu Linfeng let Chu Tong lead directly to the Third Layer. However, the appearance of the Third Layer had significantly changed; here it was just like reality, perhaps akin to Canglan Ancient Land.

It had mountains, rivers, many trees, flowers, and even flying birds and beasts, quite wondrous. The most unique part was the greenery, showcasing genuine green vegetation. However, none of this greatly interested Chu Linfeng. His aim was to quickly proceed to the Fourth Layer; however, no one had opened or breached its entrance yet.

In fact, Chu Linfeng was unaware that the initial First and Second Layers were also like this originally. Once someone breached the entrance, they’d become enveloped in mist, intended to deter random entry. If Chu Linfeng could open the entrance, this Third Layer would similarly become mist-covered.
