Chapter 197: Entrance Test

Chu Si'an didn't say anything more to Chu Ke, because he directly took Chu Ke to another place.

This place is at the bottom of the crater valley, and the binding force of the northern region is far greater than that felt when leaving the state.

And the spatial binding force in this crater is even more amazing, and Chu Ke can't fly with his own strength.

So Chu Si'an flew to the bottom of the valley with him, and the two walked to a giant tree with a diameter of several zhang at the bottom of the valley.

That's right, it's the giant tree.

The height of such a thick tree is more than 100 feet, and there is really no way to describe it as a "big tree".

"It's here. Chu Si'an said.

"Where?" asked Chu Ke.

He didn't understand what Chu Si'an was doing when he stopped in front of this tree.

This is a tree, although it is very huge, but if this is the Dragon Tower, Chu Ke really can't believe it.

"Zun Long Tower. Chu Si'an said.

Is this the Dragon Tower?

Chu Ke was surprised in his heart, thinking to himself, this giant tree, could it be the disguise of the Dragon Tower?

This is not impossible, with the means of Tianlongmen, if you want to add any illusion prohibition to a building, your ordinary Immortal Venerable's mid-stage soul realm will naturally not be able to see it.

Sure enough, Chu Si'an gently wiped the giant tree, and a hole appeared in the middle of the giant tree.

Through this opening, Chu Ke discovered that there was another world inside the giant tree.

"The Venerable Dragon Tower is not on the Ancient Continent, it is in the world of this tree. Chu Si'an smiled and said, "Master Tianji, let's go in." ”

Chu Ke once again respectfully saluted Chu Si'an, and then stepped over the opening and entered the world inside the giant tree.

"That senior is waiting for you inside, and when you want to come out, the passage will open by itself. ”

As soon as Chu Si'an's voice fell, the previous mouth slowly returned to its original appearance.

There is a cave in the giant tree, and it is another world.

As soon as Chu Ke entered the Giant Tree World, he couldn't feel the existence of Heavenly Dao.

To be precise, the Heavenly Dao felt in this giant tree world was not the same as what was felt on the Ancient Continent.

Familiar with a little strange, strange with a little familiar.

In the world of giant trees, it is empty, and there is not a single grass or tree between heaven and earth.

Looking up, the sky was gray, as if it were cloudy, but there was not a single cloud.

As far as the eye can see, it is a deep void.

At your feet, there are no green flowers and birds, and there are steep rocks and rugged ground everywhere.

Between this empty heaven and earth, there is only one eight-sided exquisite Babel Tower, which seems to connect the world and the world, standing there.

"Is that, the Zunlong Tower?" Chu Ke looked at the Zunlong Pagoda from afar.

There was nothing else in this giant tree world but this towering tower.

Presumably, this is the Dragon Tower.

The so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, and the Zunlong Pagoda in front of him seemed not far away, but Chu Ke flew for a while before flying there.

Chu Ke approached the Dragon Tower and observed carefully, this Dragon Tower was more than a thousand feet high.

Each floor is about 300 feet high, and even the windows are about 100 feet high.

With such a tower, its walls, Chu Ke didn't know how long it would take to go around in a circle.

Walking to the gate of the Zunlong Tower, Chu Ke wanted to push the gate open.

But I found that the gate was more than 200 feet high, and no matter how I pushed it, I couldn't push it.

"What's going on?" Chu Ke looked at the two doors.

The material used for these two doors is very ordinary, which is the wood commonly found on the mainland.

It stands to reason that even if he is more than 200 feet tall and more than 20 feet thick, with Chu Ke's strength, he may not be able to move even the slightest movement.

With the strength of nine cows and two tigers, Chu Ke spent most of the day, and the door was finally moved open a crack with the thickness of one finger.

Chu Ke looked inside through this slit, and saw that it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything.

With a flip of his right hand, a small Nirvana fire leaped into his fingertips.

Chu Ke picked up this Nirvana fire and gently sent it into the crack, wanting the Nirvana Fire to float in and illuminate the situation inside.

As soon as the Nirvana fire drifted to the gap, only a whirring sound was heard, and a cold wind blew out of the gap.

As soon as the Nirvana fire was blown by this cold wind, it dissipated on the spot.

The Chu Ke people didn't dissipate, but they couldn't help but be chilled by this cold wind.

"What a wind, so cold. Chu Ke covered his body, his teeth constantly bumping up and down.

When the cold wind blew, the cracks in his bones were simply blown open, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Summoning the Nirvana Fire to warm his body, Chu Ke cautiously looked into the gap again.

This time, there was no movement.

"Could it be that this door can only be pushed open by brute force?" Chu Ke thought to himself that this might be the test that senior had put on him.

I just used brute force to push open a little gap, and there was nothing wrong.

When he wanted to use the Nirvana Fire to investigate the situation inside, a cold wind blew.

If you can't even push this door open, then you really don't have the qualifications to enter the Venerable Dragon Pagoda to cultivate.

"Well, two wooden doors are not enough for me. Chu Ke used his true qi and poured it into his arms.

He threw himself on the door that had been pushed open, his legs on the ground, his whole body forward.

After pushing half a pillar of incense, the traces of dust on the ground told Chu Ke that he had pushed the door in half a minute in the time of half a pillar of incense.

However, this distance of only half a minute made Chu Ke so tired that he was out of breath and had to stop to exercise and breathe.

After resting for a while, Chu Ke recovered his vitality, and his dantian was once again full of true qi.

The concentration of aura in the giant tree world is slightly higher than that of the outer Tianlongmen, and it is easier to absorb and refine.

Of course, this concentration of aura is still not as high as that from the Floating Feather Immortal Mansion.

"Drink!" Chu Ke let out a low sigh and continued to push the wooden door.

Push half a pillar of incense and breathe for a moment, push half a pillar of incense and breathe for a moment.

After repeating this cycle countless times, finally, the gap in this door was pushed wider and bigger by Chu Ke.

As long as it is a little bigger, it can tolerate Chu Ke to pass sideways.

Chu Ke wanted to make a big move, so he took out two three-grade Qi Gathering Pills that had been refined by Nirvana Ding and took them, and suddenly countless True Qi filled Chu Ke's dantian again.

While consuming the true qi in the dantian, he absorbed the true qi from the qi gathering pill, and pushed the heavy hundred-foot wooden door without any force.

Finally, at Chu Ke's insistence, he was sweating and panting at this time, and pushed away a gap that was enough for him to enter sideways.

"It's so hard just to enter the Venerable Dragon Tower, what will the next cultivation be?"

Chu Ke lay on the ground, thinking about what the cultivation would be like after entering the Venerable Dragon Tower.

Compared with his own cultivation in the Northern Netherworld, will it be more bitter?

Chapter 244: The Frustration of the First Layer

Chu Ke, who pushed open the door, walked into the tower, and as soon as he entered the door, he exhaled, and the light around the tower lit up.

Chu Ke took a look and saw eight large pillars in the empty room, corresponding to the octagonal direction of the tower.

There are four candles on each of the eight pillars, each the size of a man's arm.

With these thirty-two candles, there is light in this space where no sunlight shines.

In the center of the first floor of the tower, there is a staircase that seems to lead to the second floor.

It's just that now there is a blurry ball of light on the staircase, sticking to the staircase like glue.

When Chu Ke approached, he felt a repulsive force acting on his body.

"Do you want to break into the tower?" Chu Ke said, looking around.

I also encountered this situation when I was cultivating in the Northern Netherworld Sect and wandering in the secret realm.

The path is artificially blocked, and at each stage of the road, there are some checkpoints.

Only by passing these levels can you move on.

The only difference is that when you are in the secret realm, the role of these levels is to block outsiders.

When he was in the Northern Hell Sect, it was used to test future generations.

However, Chu Ke looked around and didn't find anyone similar to the gatekeeper appearing.

"The seniors in the Venerable Dragon Tower should know that I have come. Why, there's no movement at all?"

Just when Chu Ke was suspicious, there was a sound of footsteps stepping and stepping in his ears.

With a cluck, Chu Ke looked back.

I saw a man covered in iron armor, pushing open the door and walking in.

"Who are you?" Chu Ke asked.

"I, without a name. The ironclad man said.

The ironclad man was hidden under the ironclad all over his body, and no skin was exposed.

Even he wore an iron helmet on his head, leaving only a finger-thick slit to reveal a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness.

"Are you a gatekeeper?" Chu Ke asked.

This ironclad man had an arm-thick sword hanging from his waist, but there was no aura fluctuation on his body, which made Chu Ke feel very puzzled.

"I'm, are you a tower breaker?" the ironclad man asked.

Chu Ke nodded, according to what this ironclad man said, the Zunlong Pagoda is probably in the form of battle for people to cultivate, to achieve enlightenment through battle.

The ironclad man walked up to Chu Ke and pulled out the sword at his waist.

Chu Ke also took out the Xianglong Sword from the Immortal Mansion in order to deal with it.

"Look at the move!" Chu Ke shouted, and the person jumped forward and sent out the Xianglong Sword.

As soon as Chu Ke made a move, it was a quick attack move in the Sword of Crossing the World Drifting Flame, and there was wolf smoke everywhere.

I couldn't feel a trace of breath fluctuations on the ironclad man's body, and here was the Dragon Tower, Chu Ke didn't dare to be careless, so he didn't reserve it as soon as he made a move.

Chu Ke took out his sword, and the ironclad man also took out his sword opposite.

The ironclad man's sword doesn't look like a special sword, it's a very ordinary thing depending on the material.

But when this sword and the Xianglong sword collided together, they didn't move at all, and there was nothing at all.

Seeing this scene, Chu Ke couldn't help but sigh secretly at the hardness of the ironclad man's sword.

A weapon that can withstand the sword of the dragon sword without destroying it, the selection of materials must be an excellent category.

The four wolf smoke were quick attack moves, and the ironclad man only took a sword, and Chu Ke didn't care.

Because after that, there will be dozens of swords that will appear in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

A series of weapons collided, and a scene that Chu Ke couldn't believe appeared.

Four wolf smoke, Xiang Dragon Sword attacked a total of thirty times in one breath.

And these thirty attacks were all taken by the ironclad man head-on with his sword.

At first, Chu Ke just felt that the sword materials of the ironclad man were special, so it was hard and could resist the impact of the Xianglong Sword.

But the result was that all the thirty frontal attacks of the Xianglong Sword were taken by the ironclad man from the front, and even the iron armor he was wearing was not touched.

Moreover, even that sword was not shattered by the Xianglong Sword as expected.

At the end of the first round, Chu Ke and the ironclad man each collected their swords and stood aside.

After the fight just now, the two have a simple understanding of each other.

"You, make a quick move. The ironclad man said.

"Your swordsmanship is good. Chu Ke said, "Also, your sword is not bad. ”

Thirty attacks from the Xiang Dragon Sword head-on, even if it is an immortal weapon, it will be broken out a lot at this time.

And the sword of the ironclad man is unharmed, and under the reflection of the candle flame, it is still slowly shining.

"Actually, I'd love to ask you a question. In the face of Chu Ke's praise, the voice of the ironclad man was still neither happy nor sad.

"You are an extraordinary, why do you want to come here to cultivate? This is not the place you should be. ”

Chu Ke frowned, what did the ironclad man mean by this?

"What do you mean by that?" Chu Ke asked.

But the ironclad man shook his head and said, "It's nothing, since you are here, I will do things according to the rules." Attention, I'm going to get serious. ”

With a flick of the sword, a little cold light was thrown out, and the ironclad man was covered in heavy armor and rushed towards Chu Ke at an incomparably light speed.

Chu Ke's eyes froze, watching the movements of the ironclad man, and the Xianglong Sword in his hand moved again.

Chu Ke stabbed the ironclad man in the chest with a straight sword, but the resistance from the Xianglong sword told Chu Ke that the ironclad man was wearing the same hard armor as his sword.

A stab of the Xianglong Sword returned in vain.

When he withdrew the Xianglong Sword, the Iron Armor Man's sword was almost in front of him.

It was only because Chu Ke's attack speed was much faster than that of the ironclad man, so he was able to withdraw his sword when the ironclad man's attack was about to arrive.

Chu Ke changed his move, turning a vertical chop into a horizontal chop, wanting to cut the ironclad man's sword aside.

I saw that when the Xianglong Sword was about to be slashed, the ironclad man suddenly shook his arm, and in an instant, the sword actually turned into several afterimages, and then the afterimages became one.

After all this, the ironclad man flew up and retreated like a light swallow, and stood on the ground.

Chu Ke, on the other hand, remained motionless, maintaining the action of raising his sword and slashing.

In a moment, blood flowed from the clothes on Chu Ke's body.

The corners of his mouth slowly overflowed with the sound of blood dripping to the ground.

"Honestly, you shouldn't have come. The ironclad man's voice rang out in the silent space.

Chu Ke didn't answer, just looked at him.

It's not that Chu Ke doesn't want to ask, it's that he has now received a serious internal injury, and he doesn't even have the strength to speak.

"The first layer of the Venerable Dragon Pagoda is for cultivators who have entered the Holy Realm, you are only extraordinary, and you are not qualified to come at all. ”

The ironclad man brought his sword to his waist and said he would not strike again.

"But the Dragon Tower is not a place to kill people, so I will try not to kill people as much as possible. It's just that if you don't train yourself more, with all due respect, you won't even be able to get past this first layer. ”

With that, the ironclad turned and left.

When I walked out of the door, I closed the door with my hand.

In the first layer of the Zunlong Tower, only Chu Ke, who was seriously injured and lay on the ground, remained.

After the ironclad man left, Chu Ke endured the pain caused by his internal injuries and immediately began to meditate cross-legged.

After taking a healing pill, he breathed for a while, and the injury was brought under control.

Chu Ke breathed a long sigh of relief, touched his chest and carefully recalled what had happened when he fought with the ironclad man just now.

The ironclad man's arm shook, and the sword turned into several afterimages in an instant, and then the afterimages merged.

He was going to slash through and deflect his sword.

But I don't know what move the ironclad man used, Xianglong Sword didn't even touch the sword, and he was seriously injured.

Even, there are injuries on his body, but there is no hole on the surface of his clothes.

"That sword...... That sword ......" Chu Ke closed his eyes and meditated.

There seems to be something in the ironclad man's sword.

I vaguely grasped those things, but the feeling was still very vague.

It's like you already have a clear direction, but you don't know how to get there.

Sitting quietly like this, the image of the ironclad man's afterimage and sword appeared in Chu Ke's mind over and over again.

Chu Ke kept chasing that strange and familiar feeling over and over again.

A courtyard, a stone table, and a man sitting at a stone table.

There is a chess game on the stone table, and the man is holding black and white chess, playing with himself.

Men sometimes lock their eyebrows, and sometimes they stretch their faces and soothe.

Sometimes the chess pieces are indecisive, and sometimes the eyes flash in spring, summer, autumn and winter throughout the chess game.

Suddenly, the man smiled, and the sunspot in his hand fell somewhere on the chess game.

After falling, he couldn't help but smile softly.

In this way, the situation in which Kuroko was trapped can be regarded as unraveled. The man smiled and took a sip of the tea on the side.

"I've been thinking about it for so long, and I'm really a little thirsty. ”

"Seniors. ”

Suo Hongzhe walked in from outside, bowed to the man, and looked very respectful.

"Ah, it's Hong Zhe, come and sit down. The man saw Suo Hongzhe and beckoned him to sit on a stone bench beside him.

"What's going on lately?" asked after Suo Hongzhe sat down, the man poured Suo Hongzhe a cup of tea.

"Back to the seniors, the master of the door was troubled and couldn't walk away, so I was sent to tell the seniors. The eastern and western fronts have done their work, and Chu Ke, the head of Tianji, has also been brought to the Zunlong Tower. Suo Hongzhe said respectfully.

"Well, thanks to your presence, my old bones can save a lot of heart. The man laughed.

It's just that the man said this sentence obviously very disobediently, he looks like he is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, how can he claim to be an old bone?

"Without predecessors, where is today's Tianlongmen, how can there be today's today. Suo Hongzhe said.

Then he asked curiously: "I don't know that the head of Tianji is in the Zunlong Tower, and his cultivation is good?"

Chu Ke, the head of Tianji, is now in the eyes of this senior, which can be regarded as a big luck.

"I don't know, I hope he won't let me down during his time in my Dragon Tower. The man smiled.

"It's been so many years before I see such a hopeful person, and I really want to see him succeed. ”

This young man who claims to be an old bone is actually the true pillar of Tianlongmen for thousands of years, a hidden Nirvana powerhouse.

Zun Dragon Tower Lord, Wuyang Book!

Suo Hongzhe looked at the Venerable Dragon Tower Master who was sitting in front of him, approachable, and had no shelf at all, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As for the experience of Wuyangshu, he had read it from the relevant records of Tianlongmen very early.

Wuyang Shu is a person from tens of thousands of years ago on the Ancient Continent.

At that time, his status and reputation were definitely not lower than the current Heavenly Dragon Sect Master or the Northern Hell Sect Master.

On the continent tens of thousands of years ago, there were still many Nirvana powerhouses, and the number of Immortal Venerables was several times more than now.

However, it is on the continent where so many strong people exist that Wuyangshu has made a great reputation.

It has established itself in countless battles and is respected by the world as the "Pingjiang Sword".

There are countless strong men who have been defeated under this Pingjiang sword.

There are countless demons who died under the hands of this Pingjiang sword.

Tens of thousands of years ago, Tianlongmen already existed.

At that time, Tianlongmen did not have the dominant position it has today, but it could be regarded as a strong party.

Later, many Nirvana powerhouses in the mainland finally chose to leave for some reason.

The remaining Immortal Venerable masters gradually disappeared in the long river of time with time.

And Pingjiang Jian chose to stay.

Wu Yangshu chose to stay on the mainland.

The other Nirvana powerhouses are said to have left the mainland to find a stronger direction, a new path, in other places.

But Wu Yangshu was concerned about Tianlongmen and stayed in Tianlongmen.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, the powerful sects of the same era as Tianlongmen have gradually declined due to the lack of masters, and some have even disappeared.

Only Tianlongmen, although there are only a few Nirvana powerhouses in tens of thousands of years.

But the masters of the late stage of Immortal Venerable will always have a lot.

It can be said that with the Wuyang Book, Tianlongmen avoided the fate of decay and maintained its prosperity and strength for tens of thousands of years.

Wuyang Book is the supreme existence for the Heavenly Dragons.

And it is such a crucial figure, but he has never been on the shelf.

He never interfered in the affairs of the sect, and only wanted to cultivate disciples of the sect wholeheartedly.

This time, the Barbarian Witch Continent attacked the Desolate Ancient Continent, and he had to start meddling in some affairs.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Wu Yangshu pulled Suo Hongzhe back to reality from his thoughts.

"Ah, I was thinking about something just now, and I was a little distracted, which made my seniors laugh. ”

Suo Hongzhe found that he had actually lost his temper in front of Wu Yang's writing, and smiled embarrassedly.

"You kid, haha. It's okay to be distracted by me, but don't get distracted when you're fighting enemies. Wu Yangshu quipped.

But after speaking, he said with a slight smile: "By the way, did you check the incident I asked you to check?"

"Checked. Suo Hongzhe's expression was solemn, and he responded, "Things are really as expected by the predecessors. ”

"Well, that's exactly what I thought. Wu Yangshu touched his chin and put the teacup back on the stone table.

"Don't spread this matter, there is me in the Ancient Continent, and there must be Nirvana behind him. If it is publicized now, it will only confuse the morale of the military. ”

"Yes. Suo Hongzhe said, "Senior, I still have something to ask. ”

Say. Wu Yangshu said.

"When I took the head of Tianji back to the door, who was that shadow-like person?" asked Suo Hongzhe.

"At that time, I was going to take him back, but why did my predecessor let me let him go?"

Wu Yangshu laughed when he heard this, and said: "This matter is very important, and we can't startle the snake now." ”
