The Tower of Heaven is opened once every ten years, and each time it is opened, not only will the Nine Heavenly Gang Wind and the Sky Covering Fog appear, but the power that escapes during the opening process will also make the Wind Cloud Valley, which has been shrouded in dense fog all year round, disperse, for about half a year.

Only during this time will the Valley of Storms be fully revealed.

Fengyun Ferry, which is several times larger than Yanhui Ferry, is located at the intersection of Jizhou, Tianzhou and Youzhou, and belongs to Tianhewu, and in the three months before and after the opening of the Sky Interception Tower, everything here was taken over by the two departments of Heavenly Punishment and Prison, which were jointly formed by the nine sects.

The so-called Heavenly Punishment and Punishment were founded by the Nine Sects!

The Heavenly Punishment is mainly to maintain the rules formulated by the Zhengtian Assembly, except for the heads of the nine sects and thirty-six factions, the law enforcement from the Heavenly Punishment has the right to arrest anyone who violates the rules.

The prison is responsible for judging and detaining those who have been arrested by heaven.

Compared with the ruthless and ruthless law enforcement envoys, the prison judges and officials are even more terrifying.

Once caught by the law enforcement envoy and sent to prison, those judges definitely have the means to dig out all the things in that person's life, no matter how detailed, even accurate to the number of times he urinated in bed when he was a child, it is like living under the eyes of the judge all his life. After being sentenced by the judge and thrown into the rumored eighteen layers of hell, Xing Official, who took peeling skin, cramping, bone crushing and marrow sucking as his daily life, always had a way to make any prisoner regret going to this world.

There is no subordinate relationship between the heavenly punishment and the prison, unless they encounter some great traitors and evil people who are out of the world, the two masters will rarely cooperate. At other times, either the sentence of the Heavenly Punishment was too light and wasted his strength, or the Prison was suspected of being too heavy when he arrested people, so that the Xing Official, who took pleasure in torturing people, died without much fun.

However, Heavenly Punishment and Punishment are only for those treacherous people whose strength has reached a certain level, and ordinary people are not only not eligible for such treatment, but they don't even know the difference between the two parts, so they call the people of the two parts together.

Whether it is the Heavenly Punishment Envoy in the eyes of ordinary people, or the Heavenly Punishment Law Enforcement Team or the Prison Judge and Xing Officials who are feared by the great forces, anyway, in these three months, no matter who you are, you must abide by the rules here.

The Yunkun boat stopped at Fengyun Ferry, and the flow of people like a tide poured out at once.

Zhou Ran, who was standing on the third floor of the Star Palace, saw this scene very clearly, but no matter how good his eyes were, he couldn't distinguish the Jiang family brothers and sisters who were arranged by Bai Wei to take other boats to Youzhou from the crowd, nor could he see the people who were like him who wanted to enter the Heaven Interception Tower to grab the heavenly edge, let alone Kunyu who left with An Youxin.

In the Hall of Stars, only Zhou Ran was left.

Looking away from the crowd below, Zhou Ran looked up at the other dozen or so docking platforms at Fengyun Ferry.

At this time, there are also seven large ships docked here.

Five of them are about the same size as the Yun Kun Boat, all of them are Kun-class ships, and the other two are each three times the size of the Kun-class boats, which should be Peng-class ships.

Although the Yunkun boat arrived at Fengyun Ferry ahead of schedule, there was only one day left before the opening of the Sky Interception Tower.

Zhou Ran refused the accommodation arranged by Tianhewu for him at the wind and rain ferry, and after most of the people left the Yunkun boat, he staggered off the boat alone.

Then, I chose a random direction and walked away.

Every time the Tower of Heaven is opened, it will attract extremely terrifying heaven and earth power, and after the eighty-one places are determined, these demons selected from almost all the great forces of the Twelve Continents and the Great Rift Valley will be in the realm of the Innate Realm at the same time, and the power that the Tower has accumulated for ten years will also explode at this time. Especially in the last few days of the opening of the Sky Interception Tower, the entire heaven and earth were full of star power, and every part of the twelve continents and the Great Rift Valley would be affected.

The eighty-one people can also be seen as bait to lure the power of the higher stars. And the Sky Interception Tower is an incomparably huge fishing net, which nets all the star power of all levels attracted by those eighty-one people.

Many people who are not qualified or able to enter the Heaven Interception Tower to snatch the Heavenly Edge will choose these days to impact the Innate Realm, which not only means that the successful advancement of the Innate Realm may be greatly increased, but also the possibility of attracting the power of the stars of a higher level.

For all the people in the Twelve Continents and the Great Rift Valley who are stuck on the threshold of the Innate Realm, every time the Sky Interception Tower is opened, it can be called a grand event.

The countless powers of the Nine Sects could only open the Heaven Interception Tower, and with the help of eighty-one people with atmospheric luck, the power of the stars attracted was so great that the star power consumed by these people to advance to the Innate Realm was not enough at all.

The Nine Sects spent a lot of money to open the Sky Interception Tower, and obviously had other plans.

First of all, when the Heaven Interception Tower was obtained by the Nine Sects, it was already damaged, and it needed to be repaired and restored little by little with the power of a large number of stars.

Secondly, the Nine Sects also needed to use the power of the stars to refine some top-level treasures.

However, the power of the stars that was really used by the Nine Sects and the Heaven Interception Pagoda was very small, and more than eighty percent of the star power eventually fed back to this heaven and earth.

The impact on the entrance to the Sky Interception Tower, such as the Valley of Clouds, is naturally the most obvious.

Elsewhere, a special beast like the Cloud Swallowing Rat can mutate up to three times, but in the months before and after the Sky Interception Tower opens, some Cloud Swallowing Rats with ancient bloodlines will be affected by the vast star power and will undergo a fourth mutation. In the sea of clouds and mist in Fengyun Valley, there was even a cloud-swallowing rat that had mutated five times.

"It is said that when the Cloud Swallowing Rat underwent its fifth mutation, it happened to meet an existence that crossed the Heavenly Gate, what a pity!"

When Zhou Ran passed by an ordinary teahouse on the side of the road, he happened to hear the storyteller in the teahouse talking about this paragraph.

A tea drinker said, "What's a pity, it's just a cloud-swallowing rat." ”

The storyteller said, "This guest officer, I said it's a pity that I didn't talk about the cloud-swallowing rat. ”

The tea drinker laughed, "Could it be that you are talking about the existence above the Heavenly Gate?"

"Exactly!"

The storyteller sighed, shook his head and said, "It is said that the existence encountered the fifth mutation of the Cloud Swallowing Rat, and I thought that I had hit a great opportunity, but I didn't think that the existence was discovered by the Cloud Swallowing Mouse before he had time to get close to it." ”

"And guess what?"

The storyteller deliberately paused and took a sip of water before continuing: "I saw that the cloud swallowing rat had a huge mouth, along with that existence and the entire sea of clouds. Within one day, the entire Fengyun Valley was clear and clear, and there was no cloud. ”

The tea drinker didn't believe it, but he didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "The old gentleman will also say this in Fengyun Valley, anyway, the Heavenly Punishment Envoy is here, and no one dares to make trouble." If you put it outside, you're going to get into big trouble. ”

The storyteller laughed and said: "You can live a good time in Fengyun Valley, and you don't dare to talk nonsense outside." ”

No matter whether what the storyteller in the teahouse restaurant said is true or false, if someone questions it in person, he will definitely have a red face and a thick neck to argue with others, and he never thought that this storyteller was not more true at all.

The tea-drinker's face sank, and he asked, "Is what the old gentleman said true?"

The storyteller said: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I don't know if it's true or not." ”

It seems that there are not many customers in the old teahouse, except for the tea drinker who is talking to the storyteller, and the only few customers are not here at all, either muttering something or looking around as if they are waiting for someone. People who come here are all for the sake of making a fortune, where is there any leisure to listen to the nonsense of a storyteller who speaks unattractively.

But if the scholar is an existence above the gate of heaven, and the tea drinker who talks to him is also a person who crosses the gate of heaven, these few gossips that no one wants to listen to are a little interesting.

Zhou Ran walked in and sat next to the tea drinker who was talking to the storyteller.

The tea drinker glanced at Zhou Ran and continued to the storyteller: "Since the old gentleman said that there was no cloud that day, there should be a lot of people who came to see the cloud-swallowing rat, right?"

But the storyteller said, "There are no clouds, let alone people."

The tea drinker sighed, drank all the tea in the bowl, dropped the two gold coins and left.

The teahouse handyman brought Zhou Ran a pot of hot tea and took away the silver coins.

The storyteller looked at Zhou Ran and said with a smile: "The first story has two gold, and the tea is free, what does the little brother want to hear?"

Zhou Ran poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then left the words of the tea drinker, and asked, "The clouds are gone, the people are gone, how does the old gentleman know?"

The storyteller smiled: "The clouds are gone, the people are gone, and the old decay doesn't say what he wants?"

When Zhou Ran heard this, he couldn't help but give the storyteller a thumbs up.

The storyteller laughed even more, and he asked, "The little brother is also here to fight for the chance of the Heavenly Tower, right?"

Hearing that the storyteller said this, the guests in the teahouse turned their heads to look at Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran still covered his own roots with the power of divine thoughts, even with the background of the storyteller, he could only see that he was the second refining of the Seven Spirits, but in the eyes of these innate realms in the teahouse, he was an ordinary Guiyuan realm.

Zhou Ran nodded and said, "Does the old gentleman have any stories about this?"

"That's the second story. ”

The storyteller put two fingers deep and said with a smile: "According to the rules, four gold coins." ”

Zhou Ran smiled and said, "The old gentleman is really good at business!"

The storyteller raised his beard and smiled: "The old man has lived in seclusion in Fengyun Valley for many years, and the story of the Sky Interception Tower in this belly is not ten thousand but eight thousand, how much does the little brother want to hear?"

Zhou Ran smiled: "Let's just say that the old gentleman thinks it is the most interesting!"

"The little brother only listens to that, and some of the old decay will be lost. ”

Zhou Ran took out six gold coins and put them on the table one by one, and said quite distressedly: "The family's meal money for most of the year is only exchanged for two stories of the old man, and I also feel lost." ”

The storyteller rolled his eyes and said, "There is a way here, the little brother can listen to the story without spending money." ”

Zhou Ran smiled: "The old gentleman wants to exchange my story?"

"Yes!"

The storyteller smiled and said: "If the story of the little brother staying in the Tower of Heaven is more wonderful than the one that Lao Yu said, it is naturally Lao Yu who has earned it." ”

"I'm afraid that the old gentleman will suffer. ”

Saying this, Zhou Ran unceremoniously put away the four gold coins.

The storyteller laughed out loud when he saw this.

If it had been elsewhere, a few tea drinkers around would have slapped the table a long time ago.

But whoever can take the big boat to Fengyun Valley, who will pay attention to a few gold coins? After so long of idle talk for a few gold coins, those who listen to it have long been annoyed.

A few people who discussed things but didn't come up with a result threw down a few gold coins, glanced coldly at Zhou Ran and the storyteller, and left with a black face.

Zhou Ran took a sip of water and waited for the storyteller's story.
