Chapter 0294 - Climbing the Tower of Babel
The Southern Wilderness, like the Northern Frontier, is the territory of the Beasts.
The difference is that the terrain of northern Xinjiang is complex, there are many ethnic groups, and it can be called a forest of ten thousand ethnic groups, which is the base camp of the beast tribe.
The vastness of the southern wilderness is not inferior to that of the northern frontier, but the terrain is very monotonous, and there are scattered grasslands of different sizes in the endless desert.
This kind of terrain is not suitable for the survival of some demon beasts that live alone, because there is almost no area for concealment, so in the southern wilderness, the demon beasts that can occupy a place are all grouped.
Among them, the two major demon beast races are respected, the Dapeng clan is the king of the air, the Sky Wolf clan firmly occupies the position of the overlord of the ground, and most of the rest of the races are dependent on these two demon beasts.
If you look at the northern frontier, the strength of the Dapeng clan and the Tianluo clan is not top-notch, but in the Southern Wilderness, there are undoubtedly two overlords, and there are perfect level demon beasts, and there are hundreds of excellent level demon beasts.
Of course, it must be only a branch of the Heavenly Wolf Clan that made a bloody attack on Houjiazhai, and there is a high probability that there will be no perfect demon beast in charge, but Xia Qingyang's departure is also dangerous.
Like the iron-line wolf, the sky wolf is also a master of group combat, especially in the wasteland of a horse and a flat river, cunning and ferocious and good at coordinated combat, it is an extremely terrifying beast group, although the cooperation of hand-to-hand combat is slightly worse than that of the iron-line wolf, but it has the ability to attack from a distance, so on the whole, it is better than the army of iron-line wolves that Xia Qingyang has encountered.
The most important thing is that the overall level of the Heavenly Wolf's realm is much higher than that of the Iron Wolf, and the addition of dozens of Excellence Rank and thousands of Elite Rank Celestial Wolves is enough to make a perfect soul master retreat.
Xia Qingyang also knew about these situations before, but he was not familiar with them, and Mei Lansheng's introduction made him frown.
He is not afraid, being afraid of fear will not solve the actual problem, because the Sky Wolf Clan will naturally not be afraid of him, and he will still have to rely on strength to speak when the time comes.
Therefore, why did the first knife in Kyushu become famous in the first war, and people still have to say a word of service when they mention it a few years later, because there are really few people who can do such a thing.
But Mei Lansheng didn't mean to dissuade him from going, but seemed to want him to go.
This made Lan Fenghuang a little puzzled, she frowned and asked, "Teacher, since Qingyang has little chance of winning, why not wait for him to ????"
Mei Lanshang interrupted her with a smile and said, "Why don't you wait for his realm to improve before going? He is already an excellent soul master, how can he improve? What's more, if his realm improves, the Heavenly Wolf Clan can't improve?"
Xia Qingyang patted the back of Lan Phoenix's head to stop her from continuing, and said with a smile: "The predecessor is right, if you have to wait until you are sure of everything to do, there is a lot less fun in this world." ”
"Interesting?" Yaxuan also said worriedly: "Qingyang, you must not be careless, we have all seen the power of the beast herd in the Divine Tree, and this heavenly wolf group is definitely not comparable to the iron wolf." ”
Xia Qingyang smiled: "I understand, so I need to retreat in the academy for a few days, I don't know if the seniors can agree?"
Mei Lanshang sighed when she heard this: "It's not false at all to say that care is chaotic, I can't imagine that Miss Yaxuan is Lanxin, but she can't escape this." Qingyang, you don't have to be complacent, the Tower of Babel may be much more difficult than you think. ”
Xia Qingyang said with a straight face when he heard this: "This junior naturally knows, thank you seniors for reminding me." ”
The Tower of Babel, the Soul Monument and the Library Pavilion are three of the most famous places in the Academy of Mythology.
The library pavilion brings together all kinds of cultivation methods and combat methods in the world, which can be described as all-encompassing and strange, and is known as the first treasure house of the human race.
The function of the soul measuring tablet is extremely simple, it is to test a person's soul power value, and its special feature is that it is the only place in the entire human race that can accurately test the soul power of the perfect soul master, you must know that the soul power value of the perfect soul power is between tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, and the soul test stone cannot be measured at all.
Of course, for perfect soul masters, it doesn't make much sense to test the amount of soul power, but ninety-nine percent of perfect soul masters will come to test their soul power at least once in their lives, and the purpose is to leave their names on the soul measurement tablet.
This is a supreme glory, so the symbolism of the Soul Measuring Tablet is a little greater.
The Tower of Babel is not up to the sky, it is not even very tall, and although it stands out among the buildings of the Mythology Academy, it is actually only a few hundred meters high, which is really not worth mentioning compared to the buildings in Kyushu that often exceed a kilometer.
However, the reason why Babel Tower is famous is not because of its actual height, but because of its height in the minds of Kyushu soul masters.
Because the Tower of Babel has 99 floors, no one has been able to climb to the top since it was built.
This may sound a little incredible, but it is true, the human race has also produced many characters whose names are glorious enough for eternity in the past 10,000 years, but none of them have been able to reach the top, including the first sword in Kyushu.
This invincible emperor of the sword, a terrifying guy who is revered by many as the first person of the human race, only ascended to the seventieth layer in the end.
Over the past 10,000 years, the Academy of Mythology has produced countless amazing and brilliant people, among which there are many perfect soul masters and even legendary soul masters, but the highest record for climbing the Tower of Babel is only fifty-eight floors.
Of course, the seventieth floor is not the highest record of the entire human race, and the creator of the highest record is none other than the contemporary master of the Mythology Academy, this unfathomable figure once stood on the seventy-fifth floor of the Tower of Babel.
The news that Xia Qingyang was going to climb the Tower of Heaven spread all over the Mythology Academy and even Zhongzhou City before it got dark.
There are those who praise his courage and praise, and there are also those who laugh at his inadequacy.
Gain's ability to climb the Tower of Babel with the realm of an excellent soul master has rarely appeared in the past thousand years, not because everyone lacks courage and fear of failure, but because of the rules of climbing the Tower of Babel.
At this moment, Xia Qingyang was standing in the Tower of Babel, the first floor.
In a radius of several hundred meters, there are ten giant pillars that support the entire Tower of Babel, and each giant pillar is engraved with a lifelike portrait.
No one knows the names of these ten people, they were invited by the Emperor to build the Tower of Babel.
The Human Emperor did not make any requests to them, but only told them that the ultimate goal of establishing the Mythology Academy was to gather talents from all over the world, inherit the essence of the human race, and cultivate people who reached the heavens.
Gathering the talents of the world and inheriting the essence of the human race is what the Mythology Academy has been doing, only cultivating the people of Tongtian, the Academy has never announced it, but the world is guessing that the person who can climb the Tower of Babel is the person who is the person who has reached the sky.
At the beginning, those ten people were able to be invited by the emperor, naturally they all had amazing talents, and the ten people worked hard to finally build this ninety-nine-story Babel Tower, each layer left its own mark, and the mark of each layer was different.
The way to climb the tower is simple, that is, the person who climbs the tower also leaves his mark on each floor of the Tower of Babel, as long as this mark can surpass one of the ten people who built the tower, he can leave his name on the corresponding layer, and replace the weakest one of the ten people with the seal, so as to obtain the qualification to climb the next floor.
Of course, this refers to the first person to climb the tower, and as for the later ones, as long as their mark can surpass any of the previous ten people, they can take their place and continue to climb the tower.
Therefore, for 10,000 years, some floors have lost the mark of the first ten people who built the tower, because they have all been replaced by later generations, and of course, there are also some layers on which the mark of only one person who built the tower has been replaced.
In order to commemorate the contributions of these ten people, the imprint on the ten pillars of the first layer of the tower cannot be erased, which is the only change made by the emperor to the Tower of Babel, and the first layer does not need to be climbed by the tower, everyone starts from the second floor, which is also a kind of implication, the Tower of Babel is open to everyone, and all the children of the human race have a chance.
"Although the younger generation does not know the names of your predecessors, they must all be the sages and powerful people of the human race, please accept the worship of the younger generation. Xia Qingyang solemnly saluted the ten pillars.
He didn't come here to climb the tower to show off, but to gain benefits from this Babel Tower and accumulate more capital for the trip to the Southern Wilderness, so it was natural to pay homage to the person who built the tower.
The staircase of climbing the tower appeared between the ten giant pillars, extending upwards in a spiral shape, Xia Qingyang climbed the steps, and the ancient wooden planks made a creaking sound, making it hard to believe that this was the ladder to heaven that carried countless outstanding people of the human race for thousands of years.
After stepping on the thirteenth staircase, Xia Qingyang came to the second floor of the Babel Tower.
This floor is also extremely empty, and the surrounding walls are round and smooth white jade, exuding an air of nobility and holiness.
There were five portraits of people on the walls, Xia Qingyang remembered that they were five of the ten people who built the tower, but the rest of the place was occupied by five names.
Xia Qingyang looked over one by one, and was shocked to find that there was a familiar name: Yutai Kuixiang!
It turned out that he had climbed the Tower of Babel.
At this time, there was a fluctuation in Xia Qingyang's sea of knowledge, which made him understand what needed to be done at this level.
The moment he felt that he understood, he felt empty, and suddenly left the second floor of the Tower of Babel, and was in an ethereal space, surrounded by mist, like a fairyland.
Ten people who built the tower suddenly appeared around him, all sitting cross-legged, looking at their noses and noses, and their expressions were peaceful.
Xia Qingyang smiled faintly and sat cross-legged.
The test on this level is very simple, just one word, sit!
Sitting is a simple action, but for a practitioner, it is the foundation.
Those who practice martial arts have sitting skills, those who practice Buddhism have sitting meditation, and most of the soul masters refining souls are mainly based on sitting postures.
It is not a simple matter to leave a mark on the Tower of Babel with a single sitting position, so although Xia Qingyang sat down, he didn't know how to leave that mark.
After thinking about it for a while, Xia Qingyang began to evolve the Nether Soul Technique, but halfway through the evolution, he stopped, because he found it useless.
Then he began to perform the soul technique again, and he even sat down and practiced the soul breaking knife technique again, which was also to no avail.
After tossing for a long time, Xia Qingyang quieted down, and he decided to respond to all changes with the same and spend a while before talking.
But I didn't expect this consumption to be a month.
