Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1773 - 1755: Cloud Travel Tower
Meanwhile, in the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm.
Lin Feng has been in seclusion for a long time, and the Holy Wind Sect has already adapted to Lin Feng’s absence. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. Under the leadership of Xia Yuntian and others, the sect is developing very smoothly, with many individuals showing rapid advancement. There are even four or five strong practitioners at the Half-Step Human Immortal Realm, and others have made significant progress.
On this day, a location within the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm suddenly experienced violent shaking. After the tremors, a Heaven Pit appeared on the ground, immediately catching the attention of everyone in the sect. Xia Yuntian promptly sent people to explore. Unexpectedly, the two Divine Change Realm experts sent down only managed to send out a scream before both perished.
Faced with this situation, Xia Yuntian dared not be reckless and immediately requested Xu Tianhong to investigate. Xu Tianhong was curious about this event, knowing that something complex lay beneath. After making the necessary preparations, Xu Tianhong gradually floated down into the entrance.
As he touched down on the bottom, countless insects swarmed from all directions, surprising Xu Tianhong, as these insects, although unable to fly, could devour his Gang Qi. The situation immediately terrified Xu Tianhong, and he quickly flew out. But just as he was about to exit, he saw a large door and a stele, upon which the seal script "Panlong" was inscribed, instantly lighting up Xu Tianhong’s eyes.
Below is surely a dwelling, and with the inscription "Panlong," what does this imply? It implies that this dwelling is likely the ancient estate of the Panlong Sage, one of the ten great Heavenly Immortal strongmen of ancient times. Such temptation is enough to move anyone.
Upon emerging from the entrance, Xia Yuntian and the others immediately gathered around.
"Elder Tianhong, what’s the situation below?" Xia Yuntian asked Xu Tianhong anxiously.
"Below should be the ancient estate of the Heavenly Immortal strongman Panlong Sage. I don’t know why it appeared here, but there’s an endless sea of insects below. These insects are peculiar, being able to devour Gang Qi, so entering is by no means simple!" Xu Tianhong did not hide anything, immediately explaining the situation. It was troubling indeed, and unless these insects are dealt with, entry is impossible.
"Panlong Sage’s estate!"
"How could this be!"
"My heavens, it’s really that!"
...
Upon hearing Xu Tianhong’s words, everyone was astounded, unable to resist such temptation—it was, after all, the Panlong Sage’s estate! Who knows, there might be Panlong Sage’s inheritance within, so entering was a must. But, they quickly realized an issue: there were so many small insects below, and if they weren’t dealt with, they could only watch helplessly.
"Everyone, let’s find a way to deal with those insects first!"
Xia Yuntian stepped up decisively, stating that they must enter the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins, and hopefully someone would obtain Panlong Sage’s inheritance, thereby increasing their self-preservation against the ever-threatening Immortal Realm.
Upon hearing Xia Yuntian, everyone nodded in agreement and immediately began contemplating various methods.
Fire attack is ineffective!
Poison attack is ineffective!
Water attack is ineffective!
...
After a day, everyone tried all conceivable methods without success. Facing such a situation, everyone was at a loss. Knowing a treasure lay ahead but hindered by insects was deeply frustrating.
"I think maybe we should ask the Sect Master to intervene; maybe he has a solution." Xu Tianhong hesitated for a moment before speaking earnestly. With no solutions, the hope remained that Lin Feng might have a way. If not, then the plan might be abandoned.
"The Sect Master is in seclusion; let’s try some other methods first. If it really doesn’t work, then we will ask him." Xia Yuntian, aware of the dire situation, preferred not to disturb Lin Feng, who was the pillar of the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm. His enhanced power benefited the entire realm.
Upon hearing Xia Yuntian, everyone nodded in agreement, ready to collectively devise strategies against the insects below.
"How about we try using bombs from the Secular World?"
"That could be attempted, but what if it blasts the insects out or destroys the dwelling?"
"Hey, isn’t there some kind of laser weapon from the Secular World?"
"We can try this, but if so many insects down below come out, what should we do?"
"How about trying to control them with cold temperatures?"
"This could work, but if frozen, how do we enter the mansion ruins?"
...
The crowd tried everything they could think of, even using the secular world’s weapon systems, but couldn’t come up with a suitable solution. Despite this, no one gave up...
...
Just as the sun was rising, everyone had already gathered at the Divine Sword Pavilion’s cultivation square. Today was a significant day as they were going to the Ice Abyss, and everyone was waiting for Hu Yi’s arrival.
"Just thinking about it is exciting!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"Absolutely, it’s the Ice Abyss after all!"
"Do you know where the Ice Abyss is located?"
"No idea, I heard we need to fly there using a Dharma Treasure."
...
The numerous outer sect disciples chatted idly while waiting for Hu Yi, each showing extreme excitement, eager to head to the Ice Abyss immediately. Only Fang Zheng had a stern face, as if everyone owed him money, responding indifferently to everyone.
He glanced at Wu Kexiong on the other side, and when Wu Kexiong gave him a reassuring look, Fang Zheng stopped talking and closed his eyes. Since everything was planned, this time he was determined to see how Fang Yan would escape this situation.
In less than an hour, Hu Yi appeared. He arrived at the training ground and, upon seeing the gathered crowd, he said sternly, "This time, you are only permitted to stay on the first layer of the Ice Abyss. With your strengths, entering the second layer would lead to instant death. Remember, remember!"
Upon hearing Hu Yi’s words, the crowd immediately stopped their discussions, nodding to show their understanding. In fact, they knew well about it without Hu Yi’s reminders. The Ice Abyss consists of six layers. The entry requirement for the first layer is the late stages or peak of the Divine Firmament Realm, with the second layer requiring at least the peak of the Earth Covering Realm, and so on. As for the last layer, only Heavenly Immortal level experts can enter, and nobody knows what lies inside...
Moreover, simply fulfilling the entry conditions doesn’t guarantee safety inside. To avoid accidents on the first layer, one must at least reach the middle stage of the Earth Covering Realm. Considering such dangers, rushing in recklessly would be akin to seeking death.
This was everyone’s thought, but Fang Yan had another idea. He wasn’t concerned about the earlier layers; he cared about what lay in the subsequent three layers. However, he wouldn’t explore them this time, planning to do so alone in the future. This time, his main aim was to cultivate Qin Kun and Wu Shan, his two juniors.
If circumstances allowed, he would deal with Fang Zheng, avenging the previous Fang Yan. After this trial, he would surely pass the test and enter the Inner Sect. Settling things with Fang Zheng before then would violate his previous oath, and he wouldn’t act in such a manner. Furthermore, Fang Yan and Wu Kexiong have always wanted him dead, so there’s no way he’d spare those two, planning to solve everything before entering the Inner Sect.
Little did Wu Kexiong and Fang Zheng know that Fang Yan was already aware of their schemes, yet they foolishly continued to devise plans to plot against him...
Hu Yi surveyed the crowd, nodded with satisfaction, and led them towards a tall tower at the back of the Divine Sword Pavilion.
The high tower occupied an area of fifty zhang and stood three to four hundred zhang tall. The lower part was constructed with bluestone pillars, and it featured tiers starting from the middle with a total of seven layers. Each layer was approximately twenty zhang high. Observing the high tower, it appeared incredibly magnificent, resembling a hollow Sky-Supporting column.
"This is the Divine Sword Sect’s Cloud Travel Tower. Each layer has special flying Dharma Treasures with different functions. For this trip to the Ice Abyss, using the voyage from the first layer is sufficient." After giving a brief introduction, Hu Yi continued to lead everyone up the tower.
The crowd behind him was extremely excited. They had heard of the Cloud Travel but had never seen it. This time they finally got to see such a special flying Dharma Treasure, knowing that traveling to other continents was achieved via the Cloud Travel. With human effort alone, not even Heavenly Immortal experts could traverse the Endless Sea. How the Cloud Travel was created remained a mystery...
In reality, the crowd overestimated things. There were only three vessels capable of crossing the Endless Sea in the entire Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, and nobody knew how these came to be. The one they were boarding was merely an imitation, vastly inadequate in function despite its resemblance to a Cloud Travel vessel.
With excited hearts, they followed Hu Yi to the first layer of the Cloud Travel Tower, discovering many vessels, totaling six. Each vessel barely spanned ten zhang, appearing similar to boats on rivers, only differing by a covering over half the boat. At this moment, the other five vessels had already departed, leaving their positions vacant.
Hu Yi proceeded to present a document personally approved by Elder Hu to the elder responsible for piloting the vessel, and everyone boarded for takeoff.
Accompanied by an almost imperceptible creaking sound, the vessel slowly rose into the sky. As soon as it left the Cloud Travel Tower, it suddenly accelerated, flying swiftly like a Flying Sword through the air. Everything below seemed like fleeting scenery, almost all
