Chapter 144: Trial
Even though Sun Yunhao had been cultivating for many years, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of pride when he saw this magnificent hall.
He involuntarily fell, wanting to see this amazing mortal work up close!
And somewhere in the middle of the city, a group of mortals were working on reinforcement work again and again, and huge stones about two feet long and wide and about two feet thick were hoisted by mortals with ropes, pulleys, giant logs, and other tools, and were placed in corresponding places. Sun Yunhao saw that there were thousands of people, and this alone was enough for millions of civilians to fight for.
There are more than 100 monks in the later stage of foundation building, stepping on the flying magic weapon, holding a talisman pen, shuttling back and forth on the city, to the huge rocks, carving defensive spells such as "solid technique" and "diamond technique", although this kind of low-level spell is not too difficult to portray, but such a large city, to depict so many spells, it is not an easy thing!
And hundreds of other monks, who seem to be good at earth-based exercises, frequently appear in the cracks of these rocks, using petrification techniques to fuse the cracks of these rocks together and turn them into a huge rock, making these rocks stronger and stronger! Of course, the consumption of spiritual power by this kind of spell is also extremely great, and without tens of thousands of immortal cultivators who are proficient in earth attribute exercises, it is impossible to fill all these gaps. They just fill the gaps.
And at the top of the city wall, there is a sea of people.
Sun Yunhao took a cursory look, and on the high wall that was two or three hundred zhang long, there were more than 100,000 people busy on it, and there were all kinds of strange utensils.
Sun Yunhao looked at the wooden pillars that were more than ten zhang high, and the stone pillars that could shoot huge stone pillars, and had such a judgment in his heart. In the city, there are thousands of such "trebuchets", and there are thousands of ordinary people, who are constantly making them.
And next to these ballistas, there are thousands of giant ballistas tens of meters long, all of which are made of metal. With such a heavy arrow, I'm afraid it would take three or four mortals to carry it!
And the construction of this giant city is a team of 100 people, as many as 10,000 people.
In this city, in addition to those mortals, there were also groups of monks lined up neatly, and these monks immediately attracted Sun Yunhao's attention.
The most eye-catching thing is a team of more than 1,000 people, each of whom is holding a middle-level spiritual weapon in their hands, and it seems that they are carrying out some tacit cultivation, and the monk in charge of this team is the "Master of Enlightenment" that Sun Yunhao once met.
And the middle-level spiritual weapons they used were naturally refined by Sun Yunhao himself.
Although these spiritual weapons pursue power, they are very simple to make, and the materials used are also the cheapest materials, so they are far inferior to Sun Yunhao's spiritual weapons in terms of flexibility and practicality. For example, the longbow just now, after each launch, it will not be fired again until after half a pillar of incense. As for Sun Yunhao's own mid-level spirit weapon, such as the Han Jiao Bow, it could continuously release ice thorns. In terms of accuracy, it is impossible to compare to the Han Jiao Bow!
Even so, the price of such a shoddy medium-grade spiritual weapon was more than two thousand spirit stones.
These thousand monks, each of which is worth at least two million spirit stones!
Sun Yunhao sighed at the wealth of the Maritime Alliance, and at the same time set his eyes not far away, where dozens of disciples in the early stage of foundation building were training, and suddenly a familiar figure came into his eyes.
"I didn't expect to meet him here!" Sun Yunhao was very puzzled, because the "Uncle Li" in his mouth was the one from Nanhua Jian's family, and he was also his protégé. Is there really such a similar person in this world?
Sun Yunhao wanted to go there in person to see what was going on, but he had more important things to do, and besides, he couldn't reveal his identity.
After a while, he turned into a blue rainbow again, flew out of Island No. 1, and headed east.
Soon after, on Island No. 1, colorful lights flew out from the first floor and headed straight to the east, most of them were monks in the late stage of Yudan, and there were very few monks in the middle stage of Yudan.
Every time they fly, they would set their eyes on a magic weapon, which was a triangular token that was exactly the same as Sun Yunhao's "Heavenly Order".
When they passed through the huge city wall of Island No. 1, the immortal cultivators who saw this scene for the first time couldn't help but pause, but there were also some immortal cultivators who ignored this and continued to gallop forward without paying attention.
Two days later, on the sea 20,000 miles east of Island No. 1, a giant tower as high as 100 zhang, with a whole body of seven floors and a whole body as black as ink, was suspended above the sky at a height of 1,000 zhang.
This tower flashes with dazzling light throughout the body, surrounded by clouds and mist, and faintly the sound of fairy music comes out, like the legendary fairy palace, giving people a sense of ethereal and uncertain.
Around the pagoda, there are hundreds of monks, floating in the air, all of them are cultivators of Yudan.
Many of these people wear veils, masks, and other treasures to hide their true colors, but many more of them reveal their true colors openly. They all have a Babel Order in their hands, and they want to go to the Tower of Babel to find out.
Sun Yunhao wore a black veil and a hat, floating quietly in a corner, not saying a word, just looking at the monks who were about to enter the Tower of Babel with him through the veil.
Among these people, several Sun Yunhao knew each other.
He used to be the head of the Outer Sea Chamber of Commerce, a dustless old Taoist priest who cultivated in the later stage of Jiedan, and Yuan Zixiao, who looked like a young man. The two were talking in a low voice, and the Taoist priest named Wu Chen Daoist seemed to be trying his best to persuade something, but Yuan Zixiao didn't listen to him at all, and after some persuasion, Wu Chen Daoist had no choice but to shut his mouth stupidly.
By Sun Yunhao's side, it was Zhang Beichen, this person's cultivation had already reached the stage of knotting. When he was still in the early days of Yudan, he already had such a great reputation, and now he has made such a big progress, so it is worth it.
And Sun Yunhao also has an "old acquaintance", that is, the current monk of the Great Perfection of the Dan Period, Shu Jiangnan!
A hundred years ago, when Sun Yunhao first met him, he was only a monk in the late stage of foundation building, but in the past hundred years, he has broken through several levels in one go and reached the stage of knotting, which can be said to be an amazing talent!
Back then, he was only a monk in the early stage of Yudan, and when Sun Yunhao was only a monk in the late stage of foundation building, he helped Sun Yunhao, saved Sun Yunhao's life, and helped him.
In addition, there are also Yi Ranzi of the Blood Intention Sect, Lan Bowen of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Seat Curse of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, and Xiao Yihan, the strongest in the Dan Period, although Sun Yunhao has not seen them, he can also recognize them from their legends. Another tall female monk with a white veil on her face is a tall woman with a white veil on her face, wearing a white robe from Taiyimen, and a delicate purple sachet hanging around her waist. Each of them is an existence in the later stage of Yudan.
It's only a day before the Tower of Babel opens, so one after another monks from the Yutan stage have come here.
A light blue streamer flew from a distance, paused in mid-air, and a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe appeared, and the middle-aged man's eyes swept and fell directly on Zhang Beichen.
"And Brother Qiu! I thought something happened to Brother Qiu that made you give up the opportunity to enter the Tower of Babel! ”
Sun Yunhao, who was next to him, heard his words clearly, surnamed Qiu? Nine times out of ten, this person is the monk who has cultivated the "Kurong Jue", named Qiu Yi, this person is also a well-known figure in the scattered cultivation, although he has only more than two hundred years of cultivation, but his supernatural powers are not inferior to the monks in the middle stage of the Yudan, no wonder he can enter the Tower of Babel with the cultivation of the Yudan.
"Haha, even Brother Zhang is here, how can the old man give up!" The middle-aged Taoist said with a smile.
"Although Senior Brother Qiu's "Kurong Jue" is powerful, the progress is also slow, and it can't reach the mid-stage realm for the time being, otherwise, Senior Brother Qiu is looking for another exercise? Hehe! "The big man and the Taoist priest seem to know each other very well.
The Taoist priest didn't care, just smiled faintly and said, "Before you reach the Yuanying realm, even if you reach the peak of the Jiedan, you will only have a lifespan of a few hundred years. At this, a smile appeared on his face, and he didn't care at all. With our qualifications and status, it is almost impossible to advance to the Yuan Baby. Although Qiu's cultivation is a little slow, but in the face of the same door, Qiu still has some self-protection power, and Qiu is reluctant! ”
"I don't know which floor Brother Qiu wants to break through when he enters the Tower of Babel this time?" The burly man changed his words and asked what everyone was thinking.
"Quack! Although Qiu is conceited, he is still somewhat self-aware, as long as he can pass the third layer and get an ancient treasure, I will be satisfied! The old man replied unabashedly.
"Zhang has this intention! It is said that the trial of the fourth layer is far more difficult than we can imagine. ”
"Hehe, one is in the early stage of the Dan, one is in the middle of the Dan, I don't know whether to live or die, and I want to break through the third layer?" A cold voice came, with a bit of disdain.
The two looked for a sound, only to see a zombie wrapped in a black robe, a pair of eyes empty and godless, like a black hole, a slightly lower cultivator, as long as he looked at it, he would be sucked in, unable to extricate himself. And next to this corpse, there was also a pale, expressionless old man, as if none of this was what he said.
"Slack! This is the 'seat mantra'. ”
"Heavenly Corpse Sect, with the wordless technique, cast it! ......"Although the strong man looked angry, he didn't take a direct action because of the reputation of the other party, so he could only swallow back the mocking words.
And as the days of the opening of the Tower of Babel passed day by day, two or three hundred strong people of the Yudan Stage had gathered here.
Suddenly, a strange light flashed away, and a moment later, a handsome young man less than twenty years old, with a rebellious face, came to the foot of the Tower of Babel. His cold gaze swept through the crowd, and even some advanced cultivators of the late Yuan Infant couldn't help but shrink their pupils at this glance, revealing a dignified look.
I thought you were married! I didn't expect to see you under the Tower of Babel! A monk in a white veil spoke.
Fantasy Sect, Phantom Shadowless, Phantom Young Master! Sun Yunhao has naturally heard of this big name, as early as more than a hundred years ago, this person was known as the strongest person under the Yuan Infant Stage in the Sea of Stars, but he has not appeared in front of people for decades, I don't know what secret method he is cultivating, or he is refining weapons, and there are even rumors that this senior is trying to break through the possibility of the Yuan Infant Stage.
He is a strange spirit root with a "phantom spirit root", and has an extraordinary talent in illusion, since he was a child, he was accepted as a righteous son by the heavenly illusion old demon of the Xuan Illusion Sect, renamed Phantom Wuxiang, and assigned him to practice the "God-shaped Phantom Technique". Due to his extraordinary talent, coupled with the vigorous cultivation of the sect since he was a child, this senior brother has been smooth sailing all the way, and among the same ranks, his cultivation and strength are outstanding, even if he has more than one enemy, he will not fall behind at all.
It is said that a hundred years ago, this kid had tried a few times with an old monster in the early stage of the Yuan Infant in this sect, but he was not defeated for a while!
The strongest name under Yuan Ying spread like this.
"What Fairy Zihan said is extremely true, if it weren't for such an important thing as the opening of the Tower of Babel, how could I stop practicing and come out to practice! When I get past the seventh layer, I'll go back into retreat, and I won't come out until I condense the Yuan Infant! The phantom robe hunted, and the voice was calm, as if to say a trivial matter.
His voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderbolt, exploding among the many strong people who were not strong!
This Tower of Babel, starting from tens of thousands of years ago, will be opened every two or three hundred years, to four or five hundred years. Every strong person who is strong can only use the Heavenly Decree once to be able to move freely in the tower. This Tower of Babel, when viewed from the outside, has a total of seven floors.
Every time you pass a level, you will get an Arcana, and the preciousness of the Arcana will also increase over time, but the difficulty of this level will also increase.
It is said that at its peak, there were more than 1,000 pieces in the Tower of Babel, but later due to various reasons, over the years, there were only two or three hundred pieces. It's just that most of the monks are in the first three levels, and they have encountered insurmountable difficulties and cannot pass, and those who can pass the fourth level only exist in legends, and from ancient times to the present, there are only a handful of people who can pass the fourth level.
And after the fifth layer, there is a blank space, and no one knows!
Now there is a monk who says in public that he wants to break through the seventh layer, and he will naturally be ridiculed, but this strongest person under the Yuan Infant Stage surprised everyone and kept silent.
"Breaking the sevenfold in a row! Phantom Daoist friends are really bold, and I wish Phantom Daoyou a smooth journey! Lin Zihan said it very casually, and I don't know if I really believe that Phantom Dao friends can do this.
As soon as "Phantom Shadow" appeared, everyone felt a great coercion, and the scene instantly fell silent, and only a few people who knew it would secretly spread the word.
This oppressive atmosphere lasted for more than six hours, but during these more than six hours, not a single monk was talking in public.
Suddenly, they found that their Heavenly Token had a new change, blooming with a brilliant golden light.
At the same time, the Tower of Babel, suspended in mid-air, also began to bloom with dazzling golden light, like a dazzling sun.
Sun Yunhao's pupils shrank, and he saw that the Tower of Babel, in the dazzling light, slowly rotated.
"Here we go!" Sun Yunhao smiled faintly and said. I don't know who shouted, and then, three impetuous monks, holding the order of Babel, flew in the direction of the Tower of Babel.
The phantom figure flashed, and he had already arrived in the Tower of Babel, and a faint layer of golden light emanated from his body, and the whole person merged into this layer of golden light and disappeared in place.
Seeing that the phantom shadow had entered, the other monks also took out the Heavenly Order, and after an hour, the place became empty, leaving only the seven-story pagoda, which was still spinning and exuding dazzling golden light.
Sun Yunhao, like the others, was wrapped in a golden light and entered that golden light. And the moment he flew in, he only felt a flower in front of him, and the next moment, he appeared in a palace.
This is a huge palace with a radius of more than ten miles, which is more than ten times more than ten times the size from the outside!
This hall is more than ten zhang high, looks extremely empty, does not give people a sense of depression at all, and around the main hall, there are arches with a diameter of about zhang, densely arranged together. Around this palace, there are thousands of arches.
"This Tower of Babel is really a hole." Sun Yunhao admired in his heart.
A few people who were in a hurry walked in directly. Only one person is allowed to pass through each arch, and once one person enters, the arch disappears into the hall in an instant.
After each arch, there is a level, but the difficulty of the level varies, but it is basically the same.
In this way, all the monks will not join forces, but will have to fight on their own.
Almost all the monks who came here knew about this Tower of Babel.
It is said that this Tower of Babel was built tens of thousands of years ago by a great supernatural being, and all his life's treasures were placed in it.
As for the content of the trial, every time the Tower of Babel is opened, there will be a different trial, so even if it is the same batch of trialists, the trial will have different trials, so the experience of the predecessors does not make much sense.
Rumor has it that each level is difficult to beat and the difficulty will be multiplied several times later on, but the risk is not great. Because when breaking into the tower, if there is any crisis, as long as you urge the Tongtian Order in your hand, you can get out of the tower in the shortest possible time.
In this way, as long as the monk gets the Heavenly Order, it will be a waste of time at most, unable to pass the test, unable to obtain treasures, and will not be in great danger.
