Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 353 - 348: Refine the Ascension Tower
"The secret that the supernatural being spoke of must be this Ascension Ring," Ding Huan pointed at the Ascension Ring that was still flickering with rainbow light.
The Dao rhythm of the Ascension Ring was extremely clear, making all of the Earth Immortal cultivators yearn for it.
No one spoke, even though Ding Huan said that the Ascension Ring was the secret mentioned by the supernatural being, it still did not prove whether the Ascension Ring was real or fake.
"I think this Ascension Ring must be fake," Ding Huan said.
"But this place has seen the ascension of over a hundred Earth Immortal powerhouses from our Triple Heaven Star Land," Yi Qianxing said urgently.
He had been guarding this Ascension Tower for hundreds of years and had thus earned the title of Tower Immortal.
It could be said that all the cultivators in Triple Heaven Star Land held him in high regard, giving him the title of Tower Immortal, because he was guarding the Ascension Ring.
Lin Yuqi said in a deep voice, "City Lord Yi, I think Sect Master Ding is not one to speak without basis, don't be anxious."
Ding Huan asked, "What kind of aura can you sense in this Ascension Ring?"
"It is a Daoist rhythm that surpasses that of the Earth Immortals, and it makes me feel very comfortable, even to the point of wishing I could cultivate here for a while, perhaps to perceive the Immortal Bridge Realm," Cen Huan was the first to speak.
"That's right, I have the same feeling, Divine Will falls upon it, as if I can see the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm, very strange," Qi Yonghan too had this feeling, but did not use the word comfortable, and instead said strange.
He had an intuition that this was not the real Immortal Realm Dao rhythm, nor was it related to the Immortal Bridge.
Ding Huan slowly said, "Besides the Immortal Bridge Realm Dao rhythm you all sensed, there is another kind of Daoist rhythm aura here. It carries an extreme chill, but you might not easily notice it because it's too subtle."
Right when Ding Huan arrived here, he sensed that chilling aura. This extreme chill was concealed by the Immortal Bridge Dao rhythm, and it would indeed be hard to detect if one couldn't strip away the principles of the Dao or didn't examine closely.
Ji Gu's eyes lit up, "I thought that I was the only one who felt that weak and extreme chilly aura, I didn't expect Sect Master Ding to have noticed it too."
"Ji Gu, have you encountered a supernatural being before?" Ding Huan asked.
Ji Gu shook her head, "No, I have never encountered one."
But she quickly realized and looked at Ding Huan in surprise, "Ding Huan, are you saying, this place..."
Ding Huan nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, this Ascension Tower is definitely related to a supernatural being."
"Is it the supernatural being you killed earlier?" Mu Chengzi also asked.
Ding Huan shook his head:
"Definitely not. That supernatural being had not reached Level 8, absorbing only the Divine Souls and flesh of cultivators below the True God Realm. The supernatural being that set up this Ascension Tower is at least Level 9, perfecting its own Taoist rhythm."
At this point, Ding Huan slowed his tone, "If I'm not wrong, everyone who entered this Ascension Tower before has become feed for that supernatural being, not a single survivor.
The reason why the supernatural being in the Big Ravine Valley knew this secret is probably because it has come here before and sensed the presence of the supernatural being here.
Perhaps, the supernatural being from the Big Ravine Valley is a spy and guardian for this more powerful supernatural being, all in wait for its arrival."
Hearing Ding Huan's words, everyone inhaled sharply.
Cen Huan felt particularly chilled, having come here twice with the intention of ascending to the Immortal Realm through this place.

If she had come when the Ascension Ring just happened to open, wouldn't that mean she was already the supernatural being's feed?
"But why hasn't the Ascension Ring appeared for over a hundred years?" Yi Qianxing still found it hard to accept the reality.
"Before the Ascension Ring disappeared, was there a period of time when the Ascension Ring appeared frequently?" Ding Huan asked.
Without waiting for Yi Qianxing to speak, Cen Huan volunteered, "Yes, I remember at one time it appeared twenty times in a year. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come back again after leaving."
Ding Huan nodded, "According to my guess, it should be that after absorbing too much Earth Immortal Essence Blood and Primordial Spirits, it fell into a slumber or went into seclusion to refine."
"Where should that supernatural being be?" Lin Yuqi was the most anxious.
If Ding Huan and this group of formidable ones entered the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield and the supernatural being came out, how could he handle it?
Everyone's eyes also turned to Ding Huan, as his perception of the Dao Rhythm Law was far stronger than theirs, which had already been proven.
Ding Huan confidently said, "This supernatural being is definitely not in Triple Heaven Star Land, and one thing I can be certain of is that once it recovers, it will definitely come to Triple Heaven Star Land."
Having said that, Ding Huan pointed at the Ascension Altar, "If I'm not mistaken, this Ascension Tower is something it covets, perhaps even belongs to it, and it will come back to retrieve it in the future."
"That's unlikely, the Ascension Tower was built by the ancestors of Triple Heaven..."
Yi Qianxing began to speak, but suddenly realized that, although he was a Tower Immortal, he was probably one of the few people here least qualified to say this.
Anyone here could be found to have a more ancient heritage than him.
Ji Gu said, "I too have memories of the Ascension Tower, but don't have memories of whether it was established by the ancestors."
Mu Chengzi also spoke, "The Ascension Tower indeed exists, it seems even my predecessor mentioned it."
Ding Huan's heart stirred, could it be that the Ascension Tower really didn't belong to that supernatural being? Was it using the Ascension Tower to find Earth Immortal feed in Triple Heaven Star Land?
"No matter what, I will first refine this tower," Ding Huan made the decisive call, leaving this tower here would be a disaster.
He had originally planned to use the Ascension Ring to transfer there and take a look.
Soon he extinguished that thought.
Using the Ascension Tower's teleportation presented several problems.
First, the blizzard spirit in the Great Ravine Gorge was Level 7, and a Level 7 blizzard spirit needed to absorb the Primordial Spirits and flesh of cultivators in the Void God Realm.
What about the strength of a blizzard spirit that required Earth Immortal Realm cultivators? In other words, the blizzard spirit was at least equivalent to the Immortal Bridge Realm.
It was highly likely that it surpassed the Immortal Bridge Realm, existing beyond Level 9.
Such a being, if he were to teleport over, he'd probably just be delivering himself as food.
Second, he said there was a problem with this Ascension Ring, yet he'd teleport over to inspect. Truthfully speaking, it wasn't guaranteed that no one would suspect he did it purposefully.
The human heart is best not tested, for it's the thing least able to withstand testing. If someone were to think he was trying to monopolize this Ascension slot, the situation could be unpredictable.
Third, could he certainly return after teleporting over?
If not, Mu Chengzi isn't someone to be taken lightly.
"I'm afraid it cannot be refined," said Yi Qianxing, shaking his head. If the Ascension Tower could have been refined, someone would have done so long ago, and he wouldn't have mentioned it was man-made.
Even Mu Chengzi said, "Sect Master Ding, this is likely not a Magical Treasure and cannot be refined."
Ding Huan smiled, "Whether it can be refined needs to be tested by refining it. Everyone, please exit the tower and wait for my news."
Although no one believed Ding Huan could refine the Ascension Tower, they all left the tower in succession.
To Ji Gu, Cang Yongqian, and Qi Yonghan, Mu Chengzi's character might be questionable, but he was a genuine Level 9 Artifact Refining master.
If such a master said the Ascension Tower was not a Magical Treasure, then it probably was not one.
After everyone left the Ascension Tower, Ding Huan's first action was to arrange Array Patterns.
He wanted to lock down this Ascension Tower to prevent it from escaping while he attempted to refine it.
Who knows whether the Ascension Tower had already been able to be taken away?
Having only arranged half of the Array Patterns, Ding Huan's Array Dao advanced to a Level 9 Array King.
Indeed, after advancing to the Galaxy Realm, his comprehension of the Taoism had vastly improved.
Ding Huan began to re-arrange Level 9 trapping arrays, Level 9 Binding Arrays, Level 9 Anti Flying Arrays, Level 9 Moving Arrays...
Arranging the Moving Array, Ding Huan was worried that in case he could not refine the tower, and his trapping array couldn't prevent the Ascension Tower from escaping, then he would directly shift it into his iron pot.
Once all the arrays were set up, Ding Huan immediately constructed a new Cycle using the Great Universe Technique.
In the new Cycle, he also included the Ascension Altar.
In Ding Huan's view, this Ascension Altar was very problematic.
Just an Ascension Tower on its own, why introduce an altar?
With the Great Universe Technique Circulation in motion, Ding Huan could more clearly sense the aura of the blizzard spirit within the Ascension Ring.
When he perceived that the residual Dao Rhythm of the blizzard spirit far exceeded that of the Louxi River, his heart skipped a beat.
Thankfully, he had not used the Ascension Ring to inspect the situation. Such a powerful being, his going there would have been mere sustenance for the blizzard spirit.
While Ding Huan built the Great Universe Technique Circulation and his Divine Will rushed to refine it, the Ascension Ring on the tower flickered uncertainly.
Just one Cycle, and the Ascension Ring disappeared abruptly, then Ding Huan felt an endless chill surge toward his Sea of Consciousness.
Ding Huan sneered, intending to shatter his Sea of Consciousness?
Even if he wasn't prepared and the cold aura penetrated accidentally, it couldn't shake his Great Dao Universe.
The greatest Divine Skill of a low-level blizzard spirit was Black Fog Soul Condensation, and if this chill dark fog couldn't rush into his Sea of Consciousness, how could it strip away his Divine Soul?
As Ding Huan's powerful Divine Will continued to strike against the prohibitions of the Ascension Tower with the help of the Great Universe Technique Circulation, he sensed an angry aura.
Sure enough, he wasn't wrong; there was still a residual soul on this Ascension Tower, or perhaps more accurately, a split soul.
Ding Huan didn't need to ask to know; this split soul belonged to that blizzard spirit.
Having plenty of experience with refining various treasures, Ding Huan was no stranger to the challenge.
His iron pot, Dusk Drum; these were extremely difficult treasures to refine, yet he had managed to refine them during the process, hadn't he?
If the Ascension Tower was difficult to refine, could it be more difficult than his iron pot?
With the help of the Great Universe Technique Circulation, Ding Huan bombarded the dense Prohibition Patterns with successive Dusk attacks.
Soon, Ding Huan found the first layer of prohibition on the Ascension Tower.
Without any hesitation, Ding Huan, with the assistance of the Great Universe Technique Circulation and Tao Divine Thought, fiercely rushed towards this first layer of prohibition.
(Good night, fellow Daoists!)
