The Stratosphere Tower, located in the northern region at the core of the Five Elements Great World, is a dangerous place that many immortals yearn for.

The tower, naturally, is covered by clouds and mist, half hidden and half visible, one heavy tower body, the clouds are deeper, and the tower body is seen even less, but the terrifying and dangerous momentum emitted is ten times and a hundred times stronger than the one below.

Nine-fold Sky Tower, the flat bluestone road continues to the door of the first tower, there are no guards or guarded immortals, there is only a square translucent jade plate at the door, the immortals who come in will be able to identify themselves by pressing their palms on it, if they get the permission of the owner of the Cloud Tower, they can enter unimpeded, but if they don't get permission, or forcibly break in, then it's over, there is a place called the Abyss of Exile under the tower, although I can't see the fate of those unlucky immortals, but from the later development and speculation, Gu Jianping knows that a place called the Abyss of Exile is by no means a good place。

Gently pressed his palm on the square translucent jade plate, the white light that flashed represented recognition, and after three breaths, Gu Jianping heard a hearty and magnificent voice in his ear and said, "Little nephew Mingyang, come in quickly"

The first tower, said to be a tower, but inside is vast and boundless, mountains, rivers, rivers and seas, grasslands and glaciers are all available, following the prompt of the voice, Gu Jianping came to a crescent-shaped lake in a valley, in front of a simple wooden house, an old man in barefoot linen held a bamboo pole to catch fish, and hummed an unknown mountain song in his mouth, seeing Gu Jianping coming, the old man beckoned, and made a move to let Gu Jianping be quiet and not disturb the fish.

Gu Jianping slowly approached lightly, stood beside the old man, and took the bait of the fish together, and in a moment, the red fish float on the surface of the water vibrated violently. The eyes of the barefoot linen old man lit up instantly, and he grabbed the fishing rod excitedly, collected the fishing line, and the fish struggled violently, but under the old man's skillful skills, in less than ten breaths, a one-foot-long carp with red scales appeared alive at his feet.

"Haha, Mingyang, I caught this cunning golden carp as soon as you came, this guy has eaten a lot of my bait in the past few days, and he didn't take the bait, well, yes, you brought me good luck. Say, what benefits do you want," said the barefoot Mai old man, holding a carp in one hand, with a smile

"Junior Mingyang meets the ancestor of the Five Elements Dao" Hearing such straightforward words from the barefoot Mai old man, Gu Jianping was stunned in his heart, and he didn't know how to say the opening words he had thought of before for a while, so he had to follow the rules and say respectful words.

"You don't have to be so polite, you are a smart person, a genius with the blessing of heaven and earth, and you have an important position in the future calamity, plus you and I have common interests, which is also one of the reasons why I made a move" At this moment, a Five Elements Dao Ancestor dressed as a farmer fisherman said now

"What Dao Ancestor said is that I am stuck in a cliché posture, extraordinary times, extraordinary things, extraordinary people, Dao Ancestor's approach can be described as simple and powerful, and it is easy to solve the situation and save many monks in my Taiyi Cave Xuan Realm," Gu Jianping said

"Well, let's not mention the past for the time being, hey, there seems to be an interesting thing that happened in your Taiyi Cave Xuan Realm just now. Suddenly, the Five Elements Dao Ancestor stood up and looked out, his eyes were profound, as if he had passed through thousands of miles away, and he could see the situation in the Xuanjie of Taiyi Cave at this moment.

Hearing the words of the Five Elements Dao Ancestor, Gu Jianping also felt an omen of nervousness in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "Dao Ancestor, there are only my senior brother and some miscellaneous servants in the Taiyi Cave Xuan Realm at the moment, is there something wrong with my senior brother?"

"You guessed right, something did happen, but you don't have to worry, your senior brother is in danger, and there will be a chance" The Five Elements Dao Ancestor thought for a moment and said

"Thank you Daozu for your advice" Gu Jianping said sincerely, in his heart, the senior brother was an existence that made him extremely respected and connected, and even above the master, which was the reason why he was nervous about his safety just now.

"How much do you know about the Stratosphere Tower?"

While speaking, the ancestor of the Five Elements Dao pointed his hand, and a pile of firewood was lit in front of him, and the golden carp was disemboweled, pierced with bamboo, and roasted directly on the firewood.

The flames were blazing, and the smell of fish began to drift away, the Five Elements Dao Ancestor thought about it, looked into the distance of the valley, and with one move, a few flowers and leaves flew into his hand, and Gu Jianping swept it away, it was the thing that was used to remove the fishy smell and increase the deliciousness of the condiment.

"I don't know much, I just know that this is a dangerous place for many immortals," Gu Jianping said after thinking for a while

"Well, in that case, come, after eating this half of the fish, you can start from this first tower, and see if you can break through to the ninth level."

"Dao Ancestor, I don't quite understand your intentions, this Stratosphere Tower is not here in the Five Elements Great World..."Gu Jianping took the grilled fish and asked suspiciously

"I have my own opinions on this matter, what do the other immortals in the Five Elements Great World think, you don't have to care, you can go directly to break through the level" Dao Ancestor said while eating the grilled fish

Hearing this, Gu Jianping's heart was also greatly settled, with the guarantee of the Five Elements Dao Ancestor, even if he met other Daoists in the Five Elements Great World, he would be able to deal with it later, and there would be no embarrassment.

Thinking of this, Gu Jianping happily sent the grilled fish that exuded an incomparably burnt smell to his mouth, this is the grilled fish made by the famous Five Elements Dao Ancestor of the Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms, not to mention the delicious things, this rarity alone is enough to make thousands of immortals crazy.

Gently biting on the grilled fish, an incomparably satisfied feeling appeared in Gu Jianping's heart. He had heard that the highest level of food was to make people unable to say a word of deliciousness, and now it is exactly the case, this incomparably delicious grilled fish, the supreme enjoyment brought by the color and fragrance that is difficult to describe in words.

Until he finished eating the grilled fish in his hand, Gu Jianping sighed one by one this time, it was really delicious, and his mouth was still savoring the deliciousness of the grilled fish, but the scene in front of him changed rapidly.

The crescent-shaped lake in the valley just now, as well as the Dao Ancestor, all disappeared, and at this moment, Gu Jianping was standing on an island.

It is said to be an island, but it is actually a reef with a radius of about ten zhang, with some potholes and weeds, and there are many sea creatures such as oysters, crabs, jumping shrimps, etc. between the reefs.

Looking around, there was a vast ocean, there was no trace of other islands, the wet and salty sea breeze blew, and a few gray-white seagulls swept through the low sky, and when they saw that Gu Jianping was a living thing, they hurriedly flew away.

So that's the case, Gu Jianping sighed slightly in his heart, at this moment he was in rags, there were several scars on his arms and thighs that had just been scarred, and the smell of blood and sweat on his body condensed together to emit a stench that he couldn't bear.

The cooing sound came from the stomach, it seemed that the problem of eating had to be solved first, Gu Jianping picked up a finger-sized piece of gravel from his feet, and with a flick of his fingers, an unlucky seagull fell on the flat ground three feet away from Gu Jianping.

There are no conditions for fire on the reef island, so Gu Jianping treated the seagull a little, and ate the bird's leg and a few pieces of bird meat that were easier to handle, and after eating the bird's meat, he was still hungry in his stomach, so Gu Jianping looked for the reef and caught some oysters and jumping shrimp to fill his stomach.

The trial of the first Stratosphere Tower began, Gu Jianping sat on the ground, looking at the sea in the distance, waiting for the official trial to come.
