"Big Brother, this place feels like a real world. If you say it’s an illusion realm, that also works. If you don’t believe me, try attacking these trees. They all really exist, and you can even put them into your Storage Ring." Chu Tong said.

"Chu Tong is right. This Three Profound Tower comes with its own space, just like the one inside your Reincarnation Bracelet—it truly exists. On each floor there is a cut-in point; as long as you find that cut-in point, you can enter the next floor, which is the so‑called entrance. What you need to do right now, Lin Feng, is find the cut-in point in here. The higher the tower floor, the harder the cut-in point is to find. You need to be patient." Sword Spirit said at this time.

"Cut-in point? You can help me look for that. Or how about you say a word to that Ice and Snow Fairy and just let me go straight to the last floor? Wouldn’t that be much more convenient?" Chu Linfeng laughed.

"If I could do that, I would have done it long ago. Right now I absolutely can’t reveal my form again. Last time already drew the attention of the Emperor’s Palace. I’m sure if I show myself again, I’ll definitely be taken away. Do you actually want me to be taken away?" Sword Spirit countered.

"I don’t mean that, Sister Yue’Er, I was just talking. Since you can’t help me, then I’ll have Chu Qing and Chu Tong help instead. I believe we should be able to break through it." Chu Linfeng said.

"There are many powerful Demon Beasts and Immortal Beasts inside this Three Profound Tower. I believe with your strength you can at most reach the Fifth Layer. Don’t even think about the last two floors. First, you simply won’t be able to find the cut-in point to break open the entrance. Second, the dangers inside are already beyond what you can handle." Sword Spirit said.

"I get it. I’m just a bit curious. That old guy said golden characters would appear in the tower after a period of time. With trees everywhere here, how are they supposed to appear? In a place this vast, finding the entrance is really difficult. I feel like that old undying thing is mostly lying to me. He’d better not let me run into him, or I’ll let him know what’s what." Chu Linfeng said.

Just as Chu Linfeng was feeling depressed, golden characters suddenly flickered into view in midair. He actually recognized every single one of them, which he found strange.

After carefully reading the meaning of the golden characters, Chu Linfeng felt both amused and helpless. It turned out that entering the next floor wasn’t about finding a cut-in point like Sword Spirit said, but required slaughtering several hundred Jungle Wolves to obtain the key within a Jungle Wolf’s body, which would open the tower gate that served as the entrance to the next floor.

This tower gate would appear on its own only after enough Jungle Wolves were killed. This was basically a helpless sort of game, pure menial labor. It was especially troublesome with his strength suppressed here; killing them was quite difficult. And they didn’t know which Jungle Wolf would have the key—it all depended on luck.

Chu Linfeng glanced at Chu Qing and Chu Tong beside him, then said: "To enter the next floor, we have to get the key that opens the next floor’s tower gate. But this key is on the Jungle Wolves of this Third Layer. We can only obtain it by slaughtering countless Jungle Wolves, so this time you two have to join the fight as well."

"That’s easy. We can totally do it. Big Brother, how about we compete to see who kills more Jungle Wolves? I haven’t stretched my muscles in a long time; this is just the right moment." Chu Qing said.

"I think that sounds great too. Killing little wolves is pretty satisfying. Big Brother, what do you think?" Chu Tong chimed in. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Of course I’ve got no problem with that. But this place is so big—what if we get separated? Are we going to have to search all over for each other again?" Chu Linfeng said.

"Hehe, Big Brother, you’re really pretty dumb. Chu Tong and I already left marks on you. If you need us to come back, you just have to move your Heart Spirit and that will be enough. Haha, Tong’er and I really want to see what you look like when you lose." Chu Qing said.

"All right, let’s see who kills more. But no matter who gets the key, we all have to regroup. Otherwise we’d just be wasting effort." Chu Linfeng said.

Just as Chu Tong was about to leave, Chu Qing suddenly asked: "The key is inside the Jungle Wolves’ bodies? Doesn’t that mean we have to cut open every single one to check? That’s such a hassle!"

Chu Linfeng was speechless too. If it really was like Chu Qing said, that would indeed be troublesome. He was just about to speak when Sword Spirit said: "Since this is a special area, the way the key appears will definitely be special too. If the Jungle Wolves you kill really have the key to open the entrance to the next floor, I believe the moment you kill them the key will appear. There’s no need to cut open the body."

"Is it really like that? How do you know?" Chu Linfeng asked, half skeptical.

"That’s simple. The Ice and Snow Fairy is someone from the Immortal Realm, so of course she uses Immortal Realm methods. I believe she’s doing all this to wait for someone truly powerful to help her, which is why she set up so many stages. Otherwise, with her cold and frosty personality, these people would probably have been dead long ago.

In some Major Sects of the Immortal Realm, they love to have disciples enter unfamiliar places. The situations inside are basically the same as here. It’s just like when you entered the Mist Forest at Celestial Dragon Academy to kill Magical Beasts for Demon Crystals. The difference is that you had to cut open the Magical Beasts’ corpses to get Demon Crystals, while in the Immortal Realm the quest items appear directly.

If you trust what I’m saying, you’ll be fine. I dare say some Jungle Wolves will disperse into smoke the instant they die. Of course, there will also be exceptions. Those particular Jungle Wolves will definitely have something inside them—perhaps some rewards unique to this floor. At that time, you can cut open their bodies and see." Sword Spirit said.

Listening to Sword Spirit talk, Chu Linfeng felt like he was hearing a story. It was strange yet exciting. He immediately passed Sword Spirit’s words on to Chu Qing and Chu Tong, and the two quickly understood after hearing it.

"Big Brother, we’ve got it. Let’s start now—I’m already itching to go!" Chu Tong said.

Chu Linfeng nodded with a smile and said: "Do your best! When Big Brother wins, don’t you two start crying!" As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Linfeng’s figure flickered, Shift Form and Shadow was quickly unleashed, and he vanished from in front of the two in an instant.

"Big Brother is so sneaky, leaving before us like that. Sister Qing, we have to win this time, or he’ll look down on us." Chu Tong said.

"Tong’er, give it your all! Here, Big Brother’s strength is suppressed, but we’re not affected in the slightest. That’s our advantage. I’m sure Big Brother is doomed to lose this time. Just wait to see that dejected look on his face!" After saying this, Chu Qing also flickered and directly flew into the air. If Chu Linfeng saw these two little brats flying here, he would definitely be so depressed he’d want to cough up blood. (Tomorrow at noon, that is, a mass release starting at 13:00 on 5/31.
