Volume 2: The Wind Rises Chapter 52: Ascending the Tower
The rest of the journey, Gao Xuan walked a little hard, but that didn't stop him from moving forward.
Gao Xuan sat on the 889th step, thinking back on his mountaineering journey, and his heart was full of mixed feelings
Under the pressure of the ice attribute, Gao Xuan felt the cold that pierced into the bone marrow, and this cold into the bones made it almost impossible for Gao Xuan to move an inch, but fortunately, Gao Xuan persevered and finally crossed the distance of the ice attribute coercion.
After the ice attribute coercion, Gao Xuan encountered the wind attribute coercion, the violent wind, so that Gao Xuan's feet had to be off the ground, and finally, Gao Xuan used both hands and feet to successfully resist the violent wind.
After experiencing the coercion of the wind attribute, Gao Xuan then encountered metallic coercion, thunder attribute coercion, water attribute coercion, and earth attribute coercion, all of which made Gao Xuan remember vividly, but to say that the most memorable thing was the wood attribute coercion that Gao Xuan encountered at the end.
It is not so much the coercion of the wood attribute as the moisture of the wood attribute.
What other attributes bring to Gao Xuan is either a stinging burn, or a biting cold, or a violent wind, or a terrifying thunderbolt, but what the wood attribute brings to Gao Xuan is to nourish gentleness to the bones.
Other attributes tried their best to make Gao Xuan feel difficult, and wanted Gao Xuan to take the initiative to give up, so as to block Gao Xuan's progress, but the wood attribute did the opposite, nourishing Gao Xuan, and making Gao Xuan feel comfortable, so that he was nostalgic, lost, and stagnant.
Looking back now, Gao Xuan was still a little scared, because he had really almost stagnated under the moisture of the wood attribute just now.
Ku Yan once said that climbing the Purgatory Soul Mountain once is equivalent to breaking into the Purgatory Soul Tower once, and now, Gao Xuan already roughly knows what kind of situation he will encounter when he breaks into the Purgatory Soul Tower.
But Kuyan also said that it is much more difficult to break through the Purgatory Soul Tower than to climb the Purgatory Soul Mountain.
Gao Xuan believes that this is not a casual remark, but an indisputable fact.
Thinking about this, Gao Xuan felt that he had a long way to go.
Gao Xuan spent almost two quarters of an hour on the eight hundred and eighty-nine steps of cultivation, and also consumed a lot of source crystals, before he could restore his cultivation to his peak state.
Gao Xuan knew that there would be no more attribute coercion in the next one hundred and eleven steps, but this was not a reason for Gao Xuan to take it lightly, because after reaching the top, Gao Xuan would face the Purgatory Soul Tower.
Therefore, Gao Xuan must ensure that he is at the top of his game.
When he first broke through the second level of the Tianyan Realm, the number of Xuan Qi molecules in Gao Xuan's body was 574,000, and now, the number of Xuan Qi molecules in Gao Xuan's body has reached 589,000;
If he broke out with all his might, Gao Xuan's strength should not be weaker than the ordinary Tianyan Realm level three, and besides, Gao Xuan also had the Shura Divine Technique as an auxiliary.
When Gao Xuan was at the first level of the Tianyan Realm, he had opened the Shura Divine Technique First Ascending Spirit Realm Pass, at that time, Gao Xuan's normal number of Xuan Qi molecules was 320,000, and after opening the Spirit Ascension Realm Pass, the number of Gao Xuan's Xuan Qi molecules skyrocketed to 530,000, almost the same as Gao Xuan, who broke through the second level of the Tianyan Realm.
Although Gao Xuan had not yet opened the Ascension Realm Pass after Gao Xuan broke through to the second level of the Tianyan Realm, Gao Xuan vaguely guessed that after breaking through the second level of the Tianyan Realm, the number of Xuan Qi molecules brought by the Ascension Realm Pass would skyrocket, and it would not be less than 800,000.
According to this calculation, Gao Xuan's current number of Xuan Qi molecules exceeded many Heavenly Yan Realm level 4, and was even comparable to some Heavenly Yan Realm level 5.
You must know that Han Wei, who has a sixth-grade Xuanjing, when she was at the sixth level of the Tianyan Realm, the number of Xuanqi molecules was only 890,000, while Gao Xuancai was at the second level of the Tianyan Realm, and the number of Xuanqi molecules had already reached 800,000.
Of course, Gao Xuan also has some very serious problems now, on the one hand, the Xuan Qi molecules in Gao Xuan's body are composed of Xuan Qi and Demon Qi, and the dark Demon Qi cannot be used publicly, and Gao Xuan must solve this problem if he wants to exert his true strength.
On the other hand, although the Ascension Realm Pass can temporarily make the number of Xuan Qi molecules in Gao Xuan's body skyrocket, but this surge has a time limit, when Gao Xuan is at the first level of the Tianyan Realm, the time for the Ascension Realm Pass to open is half an hour, and as soon as half a quarter of an hour passes, the number of Gao Xuan's Xuan Qi molecules will return to its original state.
Gao Xuan moved his muscles and bones for a moment, and looked back at the mountain again, still not finding anyone else.
Although Gao Xuan still had doubts, he couldn't care about whether there were anyone else, he temporarily sealed everything and walked towards the last hundred or so steps step by step.
The last step did not have attribute coercion, but Gao Xuan slowed down his pace, this move seemed a little abnormal.
In fact, it was not that Gao Xuan didn't want to reach the Purgatory Soul Tower quickly, but that Gao Xuan was calming down, because Gao Xuan didn't know if the mountain climbing would be as smooth as after entering the Purgatory Soul Tower.
There is no attribute coercion, Gao Xuan is not in a hurry, an average of one and a half breaths, Gao Xuan has stepped onto a new level, and when he reaches the last step, it is already a hundred and fifty breaths later.
Every time Gao Xuan took a step, he felt that he was one step closer to the Purgatory Soul Tower, and when Gao Xuan stepped up the last few steps, he basically saw the whole picture of the Purgatory Soul Tower.
In Gao Xuan's sight, a nine-story black tower was immovable, and the upper and lower parts of the tower were engraved with daunting ancient patterns.
Directly in front of Gao Xuan, there was a rotating Xuanqi Light Gate, Gao Xuan looked at the Xuanqi Light Gate, and felt that the Xuanqi Light Gate was like an endless abyss, and the plaque engraved with the four words of the Purgatory Soul Tower was hanging on the Xuanqi Light Gate.
Gao Xuan didn't know what kind of material this black tower was made of, nor did he know why the black tower stood here, let alone what the opportunity was for the existence of the tower.
When Gao Xuan stepped up the last step, he suddenly found that on the side of the gate, a black shadow stood quietly, looking expressionlessly in the direction where he was.
This black shadow is none other than the bitter words that are walking in front of Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan didn't know why Kuyan suddenly disappeared from his sight, but Gao Xuan confirmed 99% this time that Kuyan was standing here just to wait for himself.
After seeing Kuyan, Gao Xuan hurriedly ran to Kuyan and said, "Senior Sister Kuyan, why don't you go in?"
"Waiting for you"
Hearing this, Gao Xuan's ninety-nine percent conjecture instantly turned into one hundred percent.
Of course, Gao Xuan didn't feel the slightest joy because Gao Xuan didn't know what Kuyan meant to him.
Gao Xuan thought for a moment before he spoke: "I don't know what is the matter with Senior Sister waiting for me?"
"It's okay"
This answer made Gao Xuan feel speechless, Gao Xuan felt that Kuyan's personality was so cold, when he was fine, he wouldn't go to anyone else at all, but Kuyan was waiting for himself, Gao Xuan didn't know whether to say that he was too smart, or that he was smart but was mistaken by being smart.
"Since it's okay, I have a few questions I want to ask Senior Sister," Gao Xuan calmed down and spoke.
"You say"
The mechanical dialogue of Kuyan made Gao Xuan very uncomfortable, but thinking of Kuyan's character and thinking that Kuyan was his senior sister, Gao Xuan couldn't say anything.
After organizing the language a little, Gao Xuan spoke: "I want to know, I saw so many people coming to climb the mountain outside the entrance, why I didn't see anyone after climbing the stairs."
"Because the heart thinks differently"
"I wonder if the senior sister can solve the doubts for the junior brother" Gao Xuan was puzzled and asked again.
Although Gao Xuan opened his mouth to ask questions, he didn't expect Kuyan to answer him, after all, Kuyan is like gold, and he can't give up a word.
When Gao Xuan was comforting himself, he suddenly spoke when he heard bitter words.
"Born from the heart, on the Purgatory Soul Mountain, everyone thinks differently, sees differently, and encounters different attribute coercion, when you step on the first step, you are already destined to never see anyone else, unless what others think in their hearts is the same as what you think in your heart"
"I see"
Gao Xuan didn't expect Kuyan to answer his question, so he took this opportunity to ask again: "Then why is there only one senior sister on the top of the mountain?"
"Because they've all gone to the tower"
"But you should be able to see people, too?"
As soon as Gao Xuan finished asking, he saw a man suddenly appear beside him, and then, the man quickly swept towards the Xuanqi Light Gate that rotated in the Purgatory Soul Tower, and the moment the man came into contact with the Xuanqi Light Gate, he disappeared from his sight.
Seeing this scene, Gao Xuan was shocked, and nodded to himself: "I seem to understand"
"You arrived at the top of the mountain, a little later than I expected"
Gao Xuan heard Ku Yan say such a sentence, and then saw Ku Yan's figure like the man, suddenly moving towards the rotating Xuanqi Light Gate.
There was no accident, the moment Ku Yan's body came into contact with the Xuanqi Light Gate, it disappeared from Gao Xuan's sight.
Gao Xuan originally had questions to ask, but as soon as he left, Gao Xuan's idea of asking questions naturally fell through, and Gao Xuan had one more doubt in his heart, and this doubt was because of the last sentence of the bitter words.
Gao Xuan had just asked why Kuyan was waiting for him here, but Kuyan did not give Gao Xuan a satisfactory answer.
Ku Yan's last sentence proves that Ku Yan knew that Gao Xuan would climb to the top of the tower, and he deliberately waited for Gao Xuan to arrive and tell Gao Xuan this, which made Gao Xuan feel weird.
Gao Xuan didn't have much contact with Kuyan, and Gao Xuan didn't think he had anything to pay attention to.
"Is it because I'm a little Capricorn junior brother?"
"No, Senior Brother Sanjin is also a Capricorn, but her attitude towards me is obviously different from her attitude towards Senior Brother Sanjin."
"Is it because I took her hand?"
"It's not right, before I took her hand, her attitude towards me was already different"
"Is it because she fell in love with me at first sight?"
"No, no, no" Gao Xuan shook his head fiercely, threw away all the thoughts just now, and said to himself again:
"What am I thinking, I came to the Lingyuan Academy just for the opportunity of the Purgatory Soul Tower, why do I think so much?"
Gao Xuan gently patted his face with both hands to calm down, and then turned his Xuan Qi and swept towards the spinning Xuan Qi Light Gate.
Gao Xuan didn't know what kind of world was behind the Xuanqi Light Gate, but when he saw Ku Yan and the man who suddenly appeared directly towards the Xuanqi Light Gate, Gao Xuan ignored it and learned from them to sweep towards the Xuanqi Light Gate.
