Chapter 36: The Soul Tower

"What?!You mean the Four Swords Clan?!" Xie Qingyang's voice suddenly raised an octave, and he looked at Xie Chen in front of him in disbelief.

Xie Chen nodded, and took out a jade plaque from his body, the appearance of this jade plaque was very similar to the one given by Xie Qingyang at the beginning, but the word on the front of the jade plaque was replaced with the word "dust", and the number of small swords behind it also became four.

It's really a member of the Four Swords Clan! It seems that my father really doesn't take ordinary care of Xie Chen and Xie Tuo! Xie Qingyang swallowed his saliva with envy.

Among the clans, there are tens of thousands of people, but there are only a few hundred people who have jade plates called "Sword Clansmen". And among these people, only the strong people above the Spirit King are qualified to become the Four Swords Clan. Xie Mingfeng was awarded the Five Swords level because he was the chief steward.

As for the descendants of the family, only the masters of the north and south courts were awarded the highest rank among the descendants of the three swordsmen.

Now Xie Chen has become a member of the Four Swords Clan as soon as he comes, and his status has far surpassed that of his second son of the family and the master of the Southern Courtyard. How could Xie Qingyang not be surprised and envious?

However, Xie Qingyang also understands that Xie Chen and Xie Tuo are both geniuses that are rare in the family in a hundred years. It is reasonable to be taken seriously. It's just that when I suddenly saw that the clan brother I was going to recruit climbed on my head in just a few days, I felt a little unbalanced in my heart.

"Brother Qingyang, you haven't answered my question yet. Seeing Xie Qingyang's uncertain expression, Xie Chen couldn't help frowning slightly, and reminded: "I don't know if the four sword clansmen of the family are qualified to enter the Yunling Pagoda?"

"Oh, the Soul Tower...... Yes, of course!" Xie Qingyang came back to his senses and said categorically.

After finishing speaking, Xie Qingyang added: "Yunling Pagoda is a secret treasure of the family town, and the people of the Three Swords Clan have the opportunity to enter once a year. Those who have more than four swords can enter at will. Clansmen below the double sword can only enter with the approval of the chief steward. It's just that the amplification effect of the spiritual power absorbed by the Yunling Pagoda doesn't seem to be very significant for those who cultivate above the Spirit King. Therefore, generally speaking, the seniors of our clan above the Spirit King do not cultivate in the tower. ”

"I see, thank you Brother Qingyang. Xie Chen smiled slightly, his heart was relieved, and he got up to say goodbye.

"Hehe, the clan brother is polite, the clan brother walks slowly......"

It wasn't until Xie Chen had left for a long time that Xie Qingyang slowly let out a sigh, "Four Sword Clansmen! When will I become a Four Swords Clan? No wonder people say that talent is everything." Lao Tzu used to dismiss it, but now when I look at it, it's really so......"

After saying goodbye to Xie Qingyang, Xie Chen kept going all the way and went straight to the direction of Yunling Tower.

The location of Yunling Pagoda is not far from the inner courtyard of the family, and it only takes half an hour to walk.

It is a seven-story pagoda building with a pitch black body, standing alone in a vast open space. From a distance, it is like a giant sword soaring into the sky!

There is no shelter around the Black Tower, and it seems that this place is not as mysterious as the legend suggests. But Xie Chen knew that this kind of unconcealed place was the easiest to monitor, and once someone dared to step into the warning range, they would definitely be violently blocked!

Sure enough, just when Xie Chen had just stepped on the open space around the Yunling Tower, a figure had already shot from far and near, like an arrow!

"The family is important, no trespassing!" With a low shout, the person who came was already standing in front of Xie Chen, his eyes were like eagles, and he looked at the young man in front of him vigilantly.

Xie Chen looked at this person, judging from his breath, this person's breath was not weaker than the guide who helped him awaken, and it was obviously at least the level of the Spirit Venerable.

"Don't misunderstand, seniors, Xie Chen, the junior of the clan, is about to go to the Yunling Tower. Xie Chen's face was calm and said lightly.

"Go to Yunling Tower?" The man looked Xie Chen up and down, his eyes showed disdain, obviously he hadn't heard of Xie Chen's name, "Yunling Tower, how can you enter this doll just when you say it?!"

"No ......" Xie Chen shook his head, then took out a jade plate from his body, and said lightly: "But I have this." ”

"How dare you ...... without you This is?!" The man saw Xie Chen shaking his head, and was about to be reprimanded, but he suddenly saw the jade plate that Xie Chen took out, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Four Swords?!" The man rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and looked at Xie Chen carefully, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. It wasn't until this moment that he noticed that the young man in front of him was actually a spiritual master's cultivator!

"Do the authentic predecessors of the jade plate still need to be verified?" Xie Chen said with a smile.

"No need...... Please!" The guards of the Yunling Pagoda could naturally see at a glance the authenticity of the jade plaque, and when they found Xie Chen's cultivation at this moment, they no longer had any doubts, and they were immediately released.

After verifying his identity, there was no obstacle along the way, and it didn't take long for him to reach the foot of the sword-like Yunling Pagoda.

Standing under the tower, I suddenly felt even more magnificent. The seven-story pagoda towered in front of him, and a faint sense of oppression came to his face, and those who cultivated to a weaker level could even be oppressed so much that they couldn't breathe.

On top of the seven dark stone steps is the main entrance of the Yunling Pagoda. In front of the main entrance, two black-clothed guards who had cultivated as Spiritual Venerables were straight, and their eyes were like lightning.

Seeing the guards again, Xie Chen directly took out the identity jade plate. After verification, under the surprised gazes of the two Spirit Venerable guards, they strode into the Yunling Pagoda.

The space inside the tower is wider than expected. The entire floor was empty, and there was nothing. When he looked up, Xie Chen suddenly realized that the seven-story pagoda that he had originally seen outside was only one layer inside!

At a glance, the pitch-black tower body is like an endless night sky, and if you are slightly distracted, you will have a feeling of dizziness.

"Don't look up! there's a maze forbidden above, and the place we're going to is below!" Jian Jiu's voice sounded in Xie Chen's mind.

"Below?!" Xie Chen was startled, immediately gathered his mind and looked around. Finally, on the left, you will find a staircase that extends downwards.

"What we're looking for should be down there, let's go down and see what the situation is going to be. Jian Jiu urged, and now he felt that he was very close to his goal.

Xie Chen did as he said and went down the stairs. The staircase is not a straight line, but a spiral that extends downward. After walking for a while, the entrance behind Xie Chen had disappeared. After a while, it suddenly became clear.

I really didn't expect that there would be such a large space under this Yunling Pagoda! Looking at the huge space in front of him, which was more than 100 meters long and wide, Xie Chen couldn't help but admire in his heart.

In the overall square space, there are 30 stone chambers on the left and right sides. Most of the stone chamber doors were open, and only a few stone chambers had their stone doors closed, and someone should be cultivating in them.

"Hehe, who am I, it turned out to be you little guy. Suddenly, a chuckle sounded, but it startled Xie Chen.

Staring at it, on the stone platform in the center of the two rows of stone rooms, an old man in gray robes who was as thin as wood and like a zombie was looking at Xie Chen with a smile, the wrinkles on his face were piled up, layer upon layer, and he looked extremely penetrating.

How could Xie Chen forget such a terrifying smile? Hurriedly bowed slightly, and said, "Xie Chen has seen the four elders. ”

"Well, are you here to cultivate? What about that little guy named Xie Tuo?" the fourth elder obviously had a good impression of Xie Chen, and asked.

"Back to the four elders, the juniors are very curious when they hear about the Yunling Pagoda, so let's take a look. This time, only one of the juniors came, and the four elders are also cultivating here?"

"Cultivation?hehe...... The fourth elder smiled slightly and said, "The amplification effect here is already very small for the old man, just because several other old guys are in retreat. And the old man has nothing to do, so he guards here. Little guy, since you're here, let's go in and try it, enter the stone room, put your identity jade plate into the stone trough, and you can cultivate. ”

Xie Chen suddenly thought, how could such an important place as the Yunling Pagoda not be guarded by the Spirit King and the powerhouse? It seems that those Spirit Venerable guards outside should be all disguises. The real guardians are the elders of the family......

Thinking of this, Xie Chen bowed slightly without moving. Following the instructions of the four elders, walk into a stone room on the left. The reason why Xie Chen chose this place was because this place was the farthest away from the stone platform where the four elders were sitting.

The stone door outside the stone room suddenly closed with a bang, and a soft light suddenly lit up in the closed stone room. When I looked up, the light source was a huge night pearl in the center of the stone ceiling.

Directly opposite Xie Chen was a stone bed. Next to the stone bed, a small stone platform stands in the middle of the clearing. Other than that, there was nothing else in the stone chamber.

Walking to the front of the stone platform, Xie Chen took out his identity jade plate and put it into the groove on the small stone platform. "Brush!", the green light on the jade plate flashed! Obviously, there has long been a ban in the jade plate, and only those who are qualified can cultivate here.

"Nothing abnormal?" Xie Chen looked around, except for the flash of green light just now that made his heart move, there was no change in the stone room. Under the induction, the surrounding spiritual power is not necessarily full.

"Absorb it and try it!" Jian Jiu reminded in a loud voice.

"Good. Xie Chen nodded, sat cross-legged on the stone bed, and began to absorb the surrounding aura.

"En?!" Unexpectedly, Xie Chen had just started to prepare, and he hadn't even run the exercises in his body, but he suddenly found that the spiritual power around him seemed to be filled in an instant!

This kind of instant fullness is by no means three times that of Xie Qingyang's mouth. In Xie Chen's senses, the spiritual power here is probably more than five times more than that of the outside world!

Opening his eyes, Xie Chen talked to Jian Jiu about his feelings.

Jian Jiu pondered for a moment and said, "The spiritual power you feel is higher than that of ordinary people, because you have the cultivation method. Others don't, and can only rely on normal absorption. And in the case you are talking about, as far as the old man knows, there are at least five or more treasures that can do it. ”

Saying that, Jian Jiu paused, as if thinking about something, and only after a while did he continue: "If it is combined again, it will have little effect on the Spirit King's cultivation and increase this characteristic. Then the treasure in this Yunling Pagoda should be the Spirit Bead. ”

Speaking of this, Jian Jiu smiled, "Boy, the Spirit Bead is the treasure of your clan, if you take it, this Spirit Pagoda will be wasted." ”

When Xie Chen heard this, he grinned, "What does it have to do with me? I only know that I was born in Wushi Town, and I only know that my father is alone looking for my mother, and this clan does not care! This kind of place where even siblings have to watch out for each other, do I still need to be nostalgic?"
