Chapter 253: Xu Nian in White (Fourth Shift)
"What is the Tower of Babel?" asked Xu Nian, puzzled.
"The Tower of Babel is a forbidden tower in our Refining Sect, with a total of five floors, each layer is more dangerous than the other, as far as I know, no one has ever succeeded in reaching the top. Yan Xi said solemnly.
"Eh, no one has succeeded in reaching the top, so how did the successive sect masters succeed?" Xu Nian asked puzzled.
The Sect Master of the Refining Weapon Sect laughed and said, "Because the method I told you is a special method, and the other Sect Masters of the past dynasties, including me, were all elected through the Elder Body. ”
Xu Nian was speechless for a while.
It turned out that the sect master of this refining sect had never climbed to the top of this Babel Tower himself.
"And when is the next election?" asked Xu Nian.
"Each sect leader has a term of thirty years, you can wait another ten years, and of course there is another situation, that is, I am dead. The Sect Master of the Refining Weapon Sect said with a smile.
Xu Nian's face was black.
That means that if he wants to become the Sect Master of the Refining Weapon Sect in the remaining two months or so, then he must break through this Babel Tower?
The Sect Master of the Refining Weapon Sect looked at Xu Nian with a smile on his face, and the smile on his face was meaningful.
Xu Nian wanted to scold in his heart, this refining sect master looked kind.
In fact, after all, he is also an old fox.
But fortunately, he doesn't have any bad intentions.
"I'm very optimistic about you, and I'm looking forward to your performance, haha!" The Sect Master of the Refining Weapon Sect put his hands behind his back and walked away laughing.
In just three steps, he disappeared from Xu Nian's field of vision.
Xu Nian looked at the direction in which the Sect Master of the Refining Sect had disappeared, and his face was helpless.
"Do you really want to break through the Heavenly Tower?" Yan Xi asked with a frown.
Xu Nian nodded: "I have no other choice." ”
Yan Xi fell silent and didn't say anything more.
Xu Lai's purpose of refining the Weapon Sect, she had already heard Yan Hong say it.
She didn't have much to say about this matter, but she admired everything Xu Nian had done from the bottom of her heart.
Next, Xu Nian, under the leadership of Yan Xi, received the key to his residence.
What Xu Nian didn't expect was that his residence was actually next to Yan Xi.
And on the way to and fro, Xu Nian also learned a lot about Babel Tower from Yan Xi's mouth.
The Tower of Babel, which is said to be a pagoda left by the immortals, is not just a test of refining weapons.
It also contains talent, strength, understanding, heart, etc., and each layer is extremely dangerous.
In the entire thousands of years of history of the Refining Sect, the highest was only to the fifth layer.
As for the fifth floor, no one has ever gone up to it.
After Xu Nian said goodbye to Yan Xi, he locked himself in the house.
For the next three days, Yan Xi didn't see Xu Nian walk out of his yard.
It wasn't until the early morning of the fourth day that Xu Nian opened the door of his courtyard.
Xu Nian, who walked out of the courtyard gate, went straight to the Tower of Heaven.
Xu Nian's actions naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Because Xu Nian and Nangong Qing made a lot of noise that day, most of the disciples of the Refining Weapon Sect already knew Xu Nian.
"What is he doing here?
"It seems that yes, but this courage is too big, aren't you afraid of death?"
"Yes, the people who broke through the Heavenly Tower, basically two out of ten people can come out alive, I don't know how many floors that guy can break through. ”
"To be able to break through to the first layer, Senior Brother Bai Feng is known as the first talent of our Refining Sect for thousands of years, and he only broke through to the third layer, and he almost didn't get out alive, I think he will break through to the second layer at most, and maybe even the first layer will quit. ”
......
There was a lot of talk all around.
Naturally, he was not optimistic about Xu Nian's breakthrough into the Heavenly Tower.
Xu Nian didn't care about everyone's discussions, and at this moment he had come to the Tower of Babel.
"Go back, boy, this is not the place for you. "The tower is guarded by an old man.
The old man was silently sweeping the floor with a broom in his hand at the moment, and when he spoke, he didn't even look up at Xu Nian.
"Elder, the junior is here to break through the Heavenly Tower. Xu Nian said respectfully.
He found that his spiritual sense could not see through the cultivation of the old man in front of him, which meant that the old man in front of him was a saint.
Hearing Xu Nian's words, the old man stopped his movements and looked at Xu Nian.
"Spirit body dual cultivation? are actually all general-level cultivators. The old man's face showed a hint of surprise.
Xu Nian was not surprised by this.
His spiritual and physical cultivation can be hidden from the princes, but not from the saints.
"Well, let's go in!" the old man looked at Xu Nian for a minute before he spoke.
"The junior thanked the elders. Xu Nian said respectfully, and after speaking, he directly pushed open the door of the Heavenly Tower and walked in.
"It's really in!" The onlookers all looked surprised when they saw this scene.
Although they had guessed before, they were still shocked the moment they saw Xu Nian walk in.
"It's been three years, and since Bai Feng's kid came out of the Tower of Babel three years ago and collapsed, no one has broken into the Tower of Babel. The old man also looked at the slowly closed door and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Whoosh!"
A fresh breeze blew, and the figure of the Sect Master of the Refining Sect appeared in front of the old man.
"It's a good seedling, why don't you wait, let him have another two years, wouldn't he have a greater certainty?" The old man didn't look back at the Sect Master of the Refining Weapon Sect, but he already knew about his arrival.
"He can't wait, and I can't wait. The Sect Master of the Refining Weapon Sect smiled with his hands behind his back.
The old man shook his head helplessly: "I hope I don't ruin another genius." ”
The Sect Master of the Refining Weapon Sect smiled: "Are you really so optimistic about him?"
The old man didn't talk, but his gesture already gave the answer.
The Sect Master of the Refining Weapon Sect laughed again and said, "I think he will be the one who has successfully reached the top, I calculated a hexagram for myself a month ago. ”
"What about the hexagram?" the old man asked lightly.
"The hexagram shows that within three months, I swam into the sea and the eagle struck the sky. The Sect Master of the Refining Weapon Sect said with a smile.
"As far as your level of fortune-telling, I haven't calculated it once in twenty years!" the old man smiled mockingly.
The Sect Master of the Refining Weapon Sect was not angry, and continued to smile: "Three days ago, I calculated a hexagram for this kid again. ”
The old man asked mockingly, "Have you reached the top of the mountain?"
"No!" replied with a smile on the Sect Master of the Refining Weapon Sect.
The old man pouted and chuckled, and continued to sweep the floor.
"I didn't calculate anything for that hexagram, and coughed up a mouthful of blood. The Sect Master's smile suddenly retracted, and his eyes were extremely serious.
The broom in the old man's hand snapped and snapped.
The whole person was stunned in place like five thunderbolts.
Finally, I couldn't help but look up in the direction of the first floor of the Tower of Babel.
If anyone looks closely, they will definitely find that the old man's hands are shaking.
The saint coughs up blood and angers the heavens!
In this way, this kid may really make it to the top.
