Chapter 4 The Sword Tower of Heaven
Shangguan listened to Xue's finger pinching the sword technique, and it was not difficult to follow the ancient sword who deliberately slowed down.
She glanced at Lu Li, whose right arm had fully recovered, and asked suspiciously, "Since there is a magical pool of water in this world that can give birth to flesh and bones, why are the eyes of that senior ......?"
Gu Jian's voice was old, and he interrupted, "Here, everyone has their own secrets, and it is very dangerous to indiscriminately explore the secrets of others, little girl. ”
Shangguan Tingxue nodded, and asked a question that should have been asked a long time ago: "What kind of place is this?"
Gu Jian trembled and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"
As soon as the sword technique in Shangguan Tingxue's hand changed, a series of snow-white and slender sword qi gradually condensed around his body, and those snow-white sword qi surrounded Shangguan Tingxue, just like a child who relied on his mother, which was very smart and intimate.
Shangguan listened to Xue and said: "Rather than the fairy realm, I would rather call this place the sword realm, every inch of space here is filled with sword qi, extremely pure sword qi." ”
Lu Li frowned when he heard this, he didn't feel the sword qi that the other party said, the ubiquitous sword qi that permeated the air.
"Could this be the advantage of the 'Qi' martial arts again?" Lu Li thought suspiciously.
The ancient sword let out a trembling sound, as if it agreed with Shangguan Tingxue's statement, and said: "It's okay to say that it's the sword realm, after all, this is a sea of sword qi, a world that belongs to the sword alone, and a holy place that all sword practitioners in the world dream of arriving at." ”
"This is the Sword Sect. ”
"Sword Sect?" Shangguan Tingxue and Lu Li chewed on this name repeatedly in their hearts, and they all felt a sense of familiarity, in the world before their respective ascensions, it was not uncommon for the Jianghu sect to be named "Sword Sect".
As if sensing the doubts of the two ascendants, Gu Jian said again: "Unlike those sword sects you know, this place is the only place where the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands are the only place where the Eight Desolations and Six Togethers exist...... Okay, okay, if you continue to talk about it, you won't be able to understand it, and when you get the "Treasure of Universal Knowledge", all the doubts in your hearts will naturally be solved. ”
As he spoke, a beast-like momentum suddenly struck, Lu Li and Shangguan Tingxue were tense at the same time, their backs were covered with sweat, and they instinctively lowered their eyes, not daring to look at the source of the terrifying momentum.
The momentum was fleeting, and it disappeared in an instant.
Only then did the two newly promoted ascendants look up, only to see a red rainbow light like a paintbrush, across the entire dark night, and the tail of the extremely long rainbow light began to slowly dissipate at this time, which was the exaggerated trail left by the terrifying being when it passed.
"That's the Fire Cloud Sword Master. Gu Jian spoke slowly, as if he knew the shock in the hearts of the two newly promoted ascendants, and Gu Jian added: "In the 'Sword Sect', only the truly strong people who have implemented their own sword path will be called the 'Sword Saint', and the 'Sword Saint' is also the true core power of the 'Sword Sect'. ”
"I hope that one of you will become a Juggernaut. ”
Lu Li looked at the red rainbow light in the sky, and he didn't take his eyes off it for a long time, and he flew here as the "first person in the world", and suddenly realized that the gap between himself and the real powerhouse was as big as a moat.
In addition to the shock, Lu Li was also full of excitement and high morale.
"Such a strong man, such a strong man! One day, I will step on that level!"
Gu Jian trembled and urged: "Let's go, the Tongtian Sword Tower is in front." ”
Lu Li gathered his thoughts, grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and galloped away with the ancient sword.
The two of them resisted the wind for a while with one sword, and an overwhelming shadow first met the eyes of Lu Li and Shangguan Tingxue, and the two ascenders looked at the huge shadow, their eyes widening uncontrollably.
A huge tower towered in front of them.
Lu Li and Shangguan Tingxue, who were hovering in the air in the air, were in front of this giant tower, just like two mayflies facing the towering ancient tree, and a sense of awe from the bottom of their hearts suddenly rose, and the two newly promoted ascendants had landed on the ground on their own without being reminded by the ancient sword.
The ground was paved with cyan stone slabs, and each of those square cyan stone slabs was seven or eight zhang long and seven or eight zhang wide, making Lu Li and the others walking on the stone slabs look insignificant like little ants who have accidentally broken into the giant country.
The ancient sword flashed to the two of them, and as he walked forward, he introduced: "The Heavenly Sword Pagoda is the holy place where the Sword Sect hides cultivation techniques, and as far as I know, there are 1,200 layers! ”
"Newcomers like you, or newcomers who have just joined the Sword Sect, will be given three chances to climb the tower. Each layer is guarded by guardians, defeat them, you can enter the next layer, the higher the level, the stronger the exercises, correspondingly, the stronger the guardians. ”
The pace of the two newly promoted Ascendants was not slow, and in the introduction of the ancient sword, they were getting closer and closer to the Tongtian Sword Tower, and at this time, some cultivators who had gathered together in twos and threes attracted the attention of Lu Li and Shangguan Tingxue.
The men were demarcated by cyan slabs, and several people sat in groups on the same slab, while others sat alone on a slab.
The closer they got to the Tongtian Sword Tower, the more people gathered on the stone slabs, most of them were meditating, and some of them opened their eyes and glanced at Lu Li and Shangguan Tingxue with a little curiosity, and then withdrew their gaze.
Lu Li's body was tall and burly like a god and demon, but at a glance, among those cultivators who meditated on his knees, some were several feet tall, with red skin and a single horn on their foreheads, and they were obviously not alien cultivators of the human race, they were much taller than Lu Li just by sitting.
Shangguan Tingxue also found several female cultivators, their ears were pointed, they were somewhat similar to the blind sword immortal, they were generally blond and blue-eyed, tall, fair-skinned, all of them were extremely beautiful, and they were born with a natural and harmonious charm.
There are also the short races who are as short as a child, but have a thick beard, and the giant sword beside them is much larger than their own, and there are also the black races with dark skin, smooth bodies, and no hair......
Although the Terrans are the most common, there are also many strange races.
Gu Jian explained: "These are all cultivators who have not used up the three opportunities to climb the tower, every time you enter the tower, you can take away a secret book, and then you will generally practice here, when you understand the secret book in your hand, or encounter a bottleneck, it is the time to climb the tower again and challenge a higher level." ”
At this time, Lu Li suddenly heard a familiar voice not far away.
"Ah Li?"
Ah Li, except for Lu Li's mother, who passed away when he was young, would call him like this, the only one who knows this name is Lu Li's only rival before his ascension and the only confidant in this life - Ye Shengqing.
Lu Li looked sideways, and saw that ten zhang away, a green shirt, standing with a smile, was Ye Shengqing.
Lu Li stepped out in one step, and the distance of ten zhang was in an instant, he carefully looked at the old friend in front of him whose appearance had not changed, but his breath was completely different, Lu Li said: "It is two years later than the expected ascension time." ”
Ye Shengqing said with a smile: "It's good to come, I said goodbye to Feisheng at the beginning, but it was not a lie." ”
Not far away, the ancient sword let out a trembling sound, as if urging.
Lu Li said: "I'm going to the Tongtian Sword Tower, I'll see you later." ”
Ye Shengqing nodded and said, "When you come out, you will come here......" He pointed to a few cultivators sitting cross-legged nearby, and said, "These are all friends who have newly entered the Sword Sect within a hundred years. ”
Lu Li glanced away, and someone nodded at him, but more just glanced at him and ignored him.
Lu Li nodded and was about to leave.
Ye Shengqing suddenly reminded: "Ah Li, when you break through the Heavenly Sword Tower, remember not to blindly seek speed, every tenth floor of the Sword Tower is a watershed, I just didn't accumulate strength at the beginning, and finally stopped at the one hundred and fifth floor, if it is you, I will definitely be able to reach a higher level." ”
Lu Li let out an "um", stepped out, and returned to the ancient sword.
Gu Jian trembled and said, "Have you met an old friend? How lucky you are, I have seen a pair of ascended people who were originally enemies of life and death in a long time, and they have become friends since then. ”
Lu Li said indifferently: "On the way of martial arts, only loneliness is always accompanied, stepping on a high place to take care of someone, whether it is friend or foe, it should be a blessing." ”
When Shangguan heard Xue's words, a trance flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know what old people and stories he remembered.
Approaching the Tongtian Sword Tower, Lu Li and Shangguan Tingxue felt more and more insignificant, in front of this magnificent building like a giant's residence, their personal existence was too small.
The Tongtian Sword Tower is made of gray-white boulders as a whole, and there are traces of time on it, those small cracks that look rough and small, when you get closer, they are as big as a door, and the ancient sword is leading Lu Li and Shangguan Tingxue to walk in from a crack.
The light in the Tongtian Sword Tower was slightly dim, after all, thousands of candles were lit at the same time, which was only one percent of the light of the place.
The ancient sword trembled and said respectfully, "Your Excellency Tongtian, I will bring two new Ascendants. ”
In the vast, dimly lit environment, an indifferent, grand voice sounded out of nowhere, and the voice asked, "Two new ascendants? ”
"Lu Li. ”
"Shangguan listens to the snow. ”
As the two of them spoke, two names that emitted brilliant golden light appeared in this dim space, fleeting and fleeting.
A loud voice said, "The first hundred floors will manifest similar gatekeepers according to the enemies you have encountered in your memory. ”
"After a hundred layers, any known creature in the multiverse will be arranged to be your opponent. ”
"There's no time limit, let's get started. ”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and all kinds of noisy sounds sounded in his ears, which was the sound of gongs and drums, the shouts of one after another, the crying of children, and the quarrels of women......
Lu Li glanced over and found that he was in a busy city, and ten steps away in front of him, a stocky man with a full face was holding a broad-backed broadsword, with a fierce look in his eyes.
