Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1595 - 1565: Qingtian Tower

Chapter 1595 -1565: Qingtian Tower

Qingtian Tower.

Entirely black, towering into the clouds.

The tower has nine levels, each surrounded by mysterious runes that even Xiao Yi cannot fully recognize.

He could only vaguely deduce from the plaque above the tower’s gate that there were three ancient characters.

They were precisely the words ‘Qingtian Tower’!

The Qingtian Tower stands amidst this dark world like a pillar supporting the heavens, fitting its name perfectly.

Towering into the clouds, supporting the heavens and earth.

“Xiao Yi, be extremely careful!”

“If you feel unsure at any time, never attempt to challenge it,” Shasheng said with lingering fear.

He had once reached the sixth level years ago, and after comprehending for a millennium, he believed he could pass the trial.

The result of that trial almost cost him his life.

Though he escaped with his life.

He was severely injured, required over two hundred years to fully recuperate.

Tan Huajian nodded and said, “Shasheng is right, unless absolutely certain about the enlightenment from the mural, do not attempt the challenge!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be cautious!”

Xiao Yi cupped his hands at the two, then stepped alone into the towering structure before him.

Watching Xiao Yi’s figure disappear inside the tower.

Tan Huajian and Shasheng exchanged glances.

Shasheng said solemnly, “Old Tan, where do you think he can reach?”

“I don’t know…”

Tan Huajian hesitated a bit, murmuring, “The best record so far was our Pavilion Master who reached the fifth level in one go. But then the Pavilion Master had just entered the Saint King Realm, and Xiao Yi’s cultivation is much stronger than the Pavilion Master’s at that time, perhaps he might reach the seventh level!”

“I think he might directly reach the ninth level!” Shasheng murmured.

“Hmm?”

Tan Huajian was taken aback, incredulously looking at Shasheng, “You’re so confident in him?”

Reaching the ninth level on his first attempt at the Qingtian Tower?

Is that possible?

Shasheng nodded, staring in the direction of the tower’s entrance, speaking in a voice only the two could hear: “Reason tells me it’s difficult, but intuition reminds me he should be capable!”

Hiss!

Tan Huajian gasped.

If someone else said this, he would laugh it off.

But hearing Shasheng say it, his mood involuntarily became serious.

Shasheng.

Leading the Shadow Camp, the sharpest dagger of the Zhen Tian Legion in the dark.

Apart from his mastery of assassination techniques.

The most important is his extraordinary sixth sense.

In many past battles, relying on this uncanny sixth sense, he accomplished one impossible mission after another, evading countless life-and-death crises.

Tan Huajian looked up at the towering Qingtian Tower before him, squinting as if gazing at the ninth level towering into the clouds, murmuring to himself, “If he truly can achieve it, maybe there’s hope for the Unharmed Heaven Realm…”

…

Inside Qingtian Tower.

Xiao Yi walked in expressionlessly, finding himself in a vast, square space.

In front of him was a stone wall.

On the stone wall was an extremely bizarre picture, seemingly depicting ancient silhouettes engaged in labor.

Yet these seemingly ordinary laboring figures evoked an unusually marvelous feeling for Xiao Yi.

Seemingly.

A scene of the Ancient Times’ nine heavenly domains appeared before him.

It was an era prosperous and peaceful, where beings lived in such serene and ordinary conditions, working at sunrise, resting at sunset.

No fighting, no bloodshed, no calamities.

Only tranquility!

An unwavering tranquility!

Within this tranquility, one felt a sense of celebration and joy in the peace.

His entire body and soul became calm. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Forgetting about slaughter.

Forgetting about fame.

Only the purest serenity remained, the delight of being close to nature!

This feeling unconsciously immersed Xiao Yi, it was simply wonderful.

Sigh!

Xiao Yi sat cross-legged before the mural.

Eyes tightly shut.

His consciousness inadvertently entered the mural, transforming into an old farmer, leading Niu to plow the fields at dawn.

At sunset.

Sitting on Niu’s back, humming a little tune, gazing at the distant smoke rising.

Returning home to enjoy the simple tea and meal prepared by the family.

After eating and drinking.

Lying quietly on a rocking chair in the yard, gently swaying, waving a banana fan with two missing corners to shoo away mosquitoes, appreciating the bright Ming Yue above the sky.

Day after day, year after year.

This tranquil life continued for an unknown period.

Xiao Yi’s consciousness suddenly returned to clarity, his eyes regained focus, gradually restoring brightness.

Reluctantly looking at the mural before him.

Such a calm life he had never experienced, leaving one lingering: “Perhaps one day, when I no longer need to worry about the Qingtian Realm being invaded, nor about the Ancient Tomb being exposed, I’ll find a place to live such a life with Qingzhu. But evidently, this life doesn’t suit me now…”

Resolving his thought.

Xiao Yi decisively turned, heading toward the entrance of the second level.

Before the door to that level was a bronze lock.

Radiating light from the lock.

As soon as Xiao Yi touched the bronze lock, a low sound resonated in his mind: “Describe your feelings…”

Xiao Yi calmly replied, “Joy!”

He enjoyed this feeling.

Free-spirited.

Peaceful.

Though ordinary, it was a lifestyle that enchanted him.

The bronze lock slightly trembled.

Click!

The lock fell.

Xiao Yi stepped into the second level…

The mural on the second level instantly made Xiao Yi’s gaze sharp; it depicted numerous strange creatures.

These creatures were actually devouring humans, slaughtering innocent civilians.

War was raging here.

Dust and smoke were rising everywhere.

Like Armageddon.

Xiao Yi entered the Wallflower World, becoming a knight, wielding a three-foot blade battling all corners, rallying a group of aspirants to fight against these bizarre creatures.

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

Killing fueled by anger.

He didn’t know how many bizarre creatures he killed, how many he saved, when he reached the bronze door leading to the third level, he simply wrote the word “Anger.”

And once again smoothly passed!

Within Qingtian Tower, Xiao Yi was unaware that his time on each level was actually quite brief, and after each enlightenment from the mural, he immediately challenged.

And successfully passed.

Third level.

Fourth level.

Fifth level…

Xiao Yi’s ascent was astonishingly rapid.

Already leaving Tan Huajian and Shasheng stunned outside the Qingtian Tower, they exchanged glances, only feeling an itchy scalp: “This, is this real? In such a short time, he already reached the seventh level?”

“Simply unbelievable!”

Tan Huajian swallowed hard, looking at Shasheng beside him, “Maybe he indeed has the potential to directly reach the ninth level!”

Gulp!

Shasheng also swallowed hard, eyes filled with confusion and anticipation: “Directly to the ninth level? Could anyone really achieve that?”
