Chapter 871: Trial Tower
Two days later.
In the expectant gaze of everyone, Xia Haoran finally lived up to expectations, successfully cracked the energy barrier at the bottom of Qinghai Lake, and wrapped Ye Shanhe and Wang Zhen into the golden energy light shield together.
After stepping into the enchantment, Xia Haoran couldn't help but be stunned. The vague scenery that I saw when I stood outside the formation before was completely different from what I saw at this moment!
It is a small valley where the end can be seen with the naked eye alone. And around the whole valley, there is a circle of dreamlike hazy mist.
After seeing this scene, Xia Haoran's heart was terrified!
Only he knew in his heart that this layer of dreamlike mist was the chaotic Hongmeng at the edge of the endless universe. The power and mystery of this kind of thing had been witnessed by Xia Haoran in the Chaos Creation Bead before. And this small valley in front of me, precisely because of the layers of chaos and Hongmeng wrapped and blocked, is like forming an independent small world isolated from the world......
"Brother Haoran, this, this ......" Beside him, Ye Shanhe and Wang Zhen finally came back from shock at this moment, and looked at the scene in front of them and said dumbfounded.
"Don't rush near the tower, or the hazy mist around the valley, it's safe everywhere else. Xia Haoran's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
The valley is not big.
At the entrance, where Xia Haoran and his party were standing at this moment, was a square about the size of a football field. In the middle of this square, a huge dragon-shaped stone sculpture stands.
No!
To be precise, this is a giant stone monument made of unknown ore!
Monument of Trials!
I saw that on the trial monument, it was divided into several columns, and each column was a set of data, which recorded the ranking, name, birth plane and results of the trial tower of the lovelorn person.
The results achieved through the trial tower are ranked at the top of the trial monument, that is, the first place in the trial is a row of big golden yellow characters, the second to tenth places are silver-white, the eleventh to the hundredth place are all bronze, and after the top 100, they are all gray, and they are ranked to the end of the 10,000th place.
"it!"
When Xia Haoran's gaze swept over the trial tablet, his eyeballs contracted suddenly, and at the same time, he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth!
Ranking: 9;
Name: Qingyang;
Plane of Origin: Qingyang Star;
Trial Tower Results: Cleared the 96th floor of the Trial Tower, which took 18,210 years.
……
As for the other nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine pieces of information on the trial tablet, Xia Haoran didn't know any of them. But he knew in his heart that everyone who could appear on the trial tablet was all a cultivator and a leader in the starry sky of the universe!
Merely.
To Xia Haoran's surprise, even if the existence ranked first on this trial tablet, it only cleared the ninety-seventh layer, and it took more than thirty thousand years.
Seeing this, Xia Haoran's heart was like thousands of grass and mud horses galloping. But the only thing that is certain is that this so-called trial tower is not as simple as it seems on the surface!
"Brother Haoran, what's wrong?" Hearing Xia Haoran's exclamation, Ye Shanhe and Wang Zhen, who were not far away, quickly rushed over and hurriedly asked.
Xia Haoran touched his nose, spread his hands and said, "It's nothing, I saw an acquaintance." ”
"Acquaintance?" the two of them looked confused.
Not only did they not know the 10,000 pieces of data on the trial tablet in front of them, but the data showed that the time it took for these 10,000 people to pass through the trial tower, the shortest of which had already taken more than two hundred and eighty years. And Xia Haoran is only a young man in his twenties, how can he be familiar with the characters on the trial tower hundreds of years ago?
What the hell!
Xia Haoran shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "No, look at the ninth-ranked one on the Trial Tablet, the Qingyang Venerable from the Qingyang Star, that is my master!"
"Huh, Brother Haoran, are you serious?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Shanhe and Wang Zhen became even more messy.
"Can this be fake?" Xia Haoran rolled his eyes and said angrily: "However, I haven't seen this old man in real person, but I was fortunate enough to meet a clone of his thoughts that he reserved on the earth ten thousand years ago, that's all." After speaking, Xia Haoran ignored the more messy two, turned around and walked towards the other side of the stone stele.
"No wonder!" Ye Shanhe and Wang Zhen glanced at each other, and suddenly realized in their hearts.
The Heavenly Dao of the Earth of the End of the Law has collapsed, and there is a lack of spiritual energy, which they clearly understand in their hearts. Let's not talk about the interruption of inheritance, Xia Haoran was able to cultivate to this level in just a few years, how could he not have a little adventure and creation?
Merely.
Even if the two of them broke their heads, they didn't expect that Xia Haoran's adventure would be so big!
If nothing else, just the huge title of "ranked ninth" on the trial tablet is already a mess...... When they understood all this, Ye Shanhe and Wang Zhen's hearts strengthened their beliefs.
That's right!
Only by unswervingly following Xia Haoran will they have a brighter future! Just as the so-called one person ascends to heaven, this is exactly what he said.
On the back of the Trial Monument, the situation of the Trial Tower is roughly introduced.
The towering tower in the depths of the valley was the Trial Tower. This trial tower is a comprehensive assessment of the cultivator's comprehension, state of mind, will, combat talent, and physical bloodline, and it is also an assessment of a person's potential and strength. The results of the Trial Tower, although they cannot represent the true combat power of a cultivator, are definitely a symbol of talent and potential!
The Tower of Trials has ninety-nine floors.
And the trial monument in front of me is the list of trials in this trial tower.
The infinite universe, the vastness of the stars, no one knows the true origin of this trial tower and the trial monument. But it is undeniable that in almost every cultivation planet, there is no shortage of trial towers. However, whoever enters the Trial Tower, the higher the one that takes the shortest time, will be left on the Trial Tablet.
Seeing this, Xia Haoran couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he muttered: "Damn! I thought there was a shocking treasure hidden behind the enchantment, but I didn't expect that there was a trial tower and a trial monument...... Two old brothers, do you feel that this scene is like traveling to the legendary science fiction world?"
"Haha......"
Ye Shanhe and Wang Zhen laughed wildly at the same time.
Xia Haoran squatted on the ground, he took out three bottles of special mineral water, and threw one each for Ye Shanhe and Wang Zhen. At the same time, he also unscrewed the cork in his hand and poured a big mouthful, looking at the trial tower in the depths of the valley in a daze.
"It's incredible!"
"Miracle!"
"The world is full of wonders!" Xia Haoran looked at Ye Shanhe and Wang Zhen who were full of excitement beside him, and smiled
said: "If I guess correctly, this trial tower is mainly based on fighting. Two old brothers, I will enter it in a while, and explore the truth first, you wait here for me to come out, and then make arrangements when the time comes!"
"Since the Trial Tower is here, it will never run away in the short term. The most important thing we need to do at the moment is to enter the Trial Tower and get the most detailed information and data in the Trial Tower. For example, the geographical map of each layer, the distribution of monsters, the names and characteristics of monsters, as well as the attack strength and skills of monsters, etc. ”
"So, we need to build a more complete database. According to the introduction on the trial tablet, in the trial tower, each floor is an independent space, and the higher the number of layers, the stronger the monster's strength. Speaking of this, Xia Haoran paused slightly, and then said, "The appearance of the Trial Tower is a great opportunity and creation for us cultivators. Perhaps, under this opportunity, we can also take advantage of the situation to start the upsurge of national martial arts. ”
"All people practice martial arts?"
Ye Shanhe and Wang Zhen's eyes lit up, but then they quickly fell silent again.
It is indeed a good thing for the whole people to practice martial arts, which can enhance the physical fitness of the whole people, and at the same time, the small universe of the human body has been fully developed, which can also greatly improve the work ability and work efficiency of individuals. However, without the control and guidance of state organs, it is possible to cause unrest and riots in the whole society.
"There are pros and cons to everything. ”
Seeing the expressions of the two, Xia Haoran smiled slightly and said, "Take the Trial Tower as an example, you have also seen the information on the trial tablet, and you also know that in this vast universe and interstellar space, it is not only our earth that has human civilization. If we enter the tower challenge, we don't make the list, and once we make the list, then our planet will be completely exposed to the entire universe galaxy. You know how capable we earthlings are, you know and I know that everyone knows very well. Exposing our roots, what the consequences must be something that individuals can guess. ”
"Just like the film in Hollywood science fiction blockbusters, with the development of scientific and technological civilization, human beings are keen to go out of the earth and explore the universe and stars. In fact, in this process, we are constantly releasing various signals and energy waves to the universe, and it is impossible to say that there will be aliens visiting one day in the future. It's for sure, and it's inevitable!"
"In order to become stronger, in order to develop their own potential as much as possible, in order to cope with the irresistible scene of the future, many countries are now researching genetic engineering and life sciences, such as modifying humans, genetic warriors, cloning people, killers, etc. And we in Huaxia have the unique and advantageous resources of the ancient martial arts cultivation system, why don't we take it out to develop and grow? Otherwise, if one day when we are facing powerful aliens, what will we do to fight with others?"
"Small arms?"
"Or is it a heavy weapon of mass destruction?"
After a slight pause, Xia Haoran continued: "Do you think that when a person's cultivation reaches a certain level, that kind of thing will still work?"
"It's hidden, but it's not as good as announcing it at a level. Xia Haoran shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Personally, I think it is definitely a good thing for all people to practice martial arts. As long as we have formulated rules in advance for effective control and guidance, and there are legal constraints, even if some people rely on their self-cultivation to do evil, we can also govern people and the country according to law. After all, as long as you are still living on this planet, no matter how powerful an existence is, it is no bigger than the word 'law'!"
