Long Ambition knew that it seemed that everything was inside the tower.

Looking at the one-foot-high tower gate, Long Ye suddenly became childlike, stepped forward to buckle the beast ring, and the two gates that hit it roared.

"Is there anyone in the house?"

The words have been spoken, but they feel very awkward and weird.

A cold star, a lonely ancient tower, and beyond that, there was no trace, let alone any crisis or sound.

However, as soon as the words fell, a faint shout came from inside the ancient tower, "Lao Tzu is not deaf, he can hear, there is no need to be so loud." ”

Two doors opened, revealing a crack for one person to enter.

A thin old man, usually standing in the light, generally hidden in the dark.

Tatsuno's scalp was numb, and he was immediately alert to explode.

I didn't notice any qi at all in advance, and I didn't expect that in such an environment, in this ancient tower that no one had stepped into for countless epochs, there was actually an old man.

The hair is gray, and the traces of time have polished the old man's water chestnut, piling up layers of folds.

His eyes were dizzy, and he looked at Tatsuno lightly.

"Something?"

Isn't that? Who would have nothing to do and be here with a lot of hard work and death?

"Something. “

Say. There was a lot of impatience in his tone.

"This ancient tower can lead to the ancient road of stars, and the younger generation came here in the hope of using the ancient tower to teleport. Long Ye gradually stabilized his mind, and secretly guessed in his heart that this old man might be a tool spirit, or a person who guarded the tower, and the ancient tower might be an artifact.

"The purpose is the same, why do you need to ask me for advice. The old man squeezed out, and at this time all stood in front of Long Ye's eyes, already thin and unformed, and a gray cloth robe had long since faded, only the height of Long Ye's chest.

Tatsuno didn't react for a while, and was slightly stunned.

"The seniors are also looking at the juniors, hoping to enter the Xingchen Ancient Road through the teleportation of the ancient tower?"

"It's different, the old man doesn't want to lead to the ancient road of the stars, but to understand the mysteries in it. ”

"How long has it been since that senior again?"

"Forgotten. The old man never had the slightest face, cold, but he also had to answer questions.

"Can the seniors succeed?"

"You're stupid, I'll still be stuck here if I succeed?"

"Why did you leave?"

The old man looked at Long Ye strangely and smiled, making Long Ye feel uncomfortable and a little creepy.

"Young man, there are only two things to do when you step into the ancient tower, either you look like a dead body at the bottom of the lake, or you can leave after success. ”

"Ah, the wreckage piled up around the lake of blood above are all creatures who have come to the trial?"

"What do you think?" was utterly disdainful in his tone.

Long Ye was shocked again, and then frowned and asked, "I still hope that my predecessors will teach me." ”

The attitude is very respectful, and the old man seems to be very useful.

"There is no owner here, everyone who comes is a guest, but they must obey the will of the ancient tower itself. There are nine layers of the ancient tower, each layer is a test, and there are only three chances to test, and if you fail, you will be killed and left at the bottom of the lake. If you succeed, you can go up to the next level, and so on, until you reach the top, and then you can be teleported away. The time of the test is indefinite, thousands of years, ten thousand years, or even countless epochs, but there are only three chances for each level of testing. ”

Tatsuno's eyes widened and he looked at the old man incredulously.

I thought that the biggest test along the way was the road, but I didn't want the real test to be in the ancient tower itself.

Retreat, unwilling.

But once you step into the ancient tower, it means that there is only one way to succeed, and there can be no failure.

Glancing at the ancient tower of the black hole behind the old man, he asked again, "I don't know how many tests the predecessors have passed?"

"Nine floors are all over. "I'm very proud, and I have a lot of spirit.

"Isn't that a success, why didn't the seniors leave?"

The old man sighed directly, "In fact, the real test is on the top of the tower, nine is the extreme number, and ten on it is already transcendent, but the ancient tower has nine floors, and there is half a layer on it, which can be regarded as the tenth layer." ”

"What kind of test is it?"

"Don't think I'll tell you, the ancient tower should have existed since the beginning of the universe, and the years of existence have long been verifiable, but it has the will itself, and can kill all the emperors and suppress the so-called emperors, but all the tests are not the same, everything can only be explored by yourself. ”

Glanced up at the tall ancient tower.

seemed to see Long Ye's thoughts, "Don't even think about it, if you don't believe it, you can try, it is estimated that there is not even gray ash left, even if you fail to walk the ancient tower, at least you can still end up with a whole corpse." “

Tatsuno was said to be clear, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he was very thick-skinned.

"I haven't consulted the daimyo of my predecessors yet. ”

"Forget, it's been too long, it's like a long dream, if you hadn't come to wake me up today, I would have forgotten my existence. ”

The old man sighed for a while.

The atmosphere has also eased slightly.

"How many more chances do seniors have?"

"Once. His tone trembled slightly.

Indeed, the line between life and death, this is also the reason why the old man has never dared to make a move, even if he succeeds, after leaving, the facts have already changed, and the former friends and confidants are estimated to have been buried in a foreign country, or they are left alone, so it is better to stay here.

But I am somewhat unwilling in my heart, and I can undoubtedly come here with outstanding talent, and I can't be a lifetime, how can I admit defeat, even if I die, I have to gamble.

But it can be seen that the old man is very entangled, and Tatsuno even thinks that the old man should have a chance to win, but he is already deeply infatuated with this place and does not want to leave.

There is no time limit to the test, and the last chance is to leave the choice to leave.

"Is each floor of the ancient tower a separate space?"

"No, it's the ancient tower. ”

Long Ye was stunned again, since they were all just independent ancient towers, where did the test come from?

"Don't think about it, now you should think about it, whether to advance or retreat?"

The old man bypassed the dragon field, the lonely back was far away, a stone pier pestle that had been smooth stood three meters away from the ancient tower, the old man sat down, looked up at the void of nothingness, and seemed to be enjoying the boundless scenery.

He said to himself: "Once you step into the ancient tower, the qi will be locked, and the imprint of the ancient tower will be left in the primordial spirit, and then you can only move within three meters outside the ancient tower, and if you take one more step, the primordial spirit will be suppressed, and the corpse will become the nourishment at the bottom of the lake." ”

At this time, only a trace of red shadow could be seen in the blood-colored lake, which was the only trace of color in the entire void space, and it was as dense as mist.

Tatsuno did not immediately set foot in the ancient tower, but sat directly beside the old man.

The old man talked more slowly, but more seemed to be talking to himself.

"There is no master here, the one who comes is the guest, but it is also the master, send away a batch, and another batch comes, for countless eras, there are very few successful people. Now that I'm old and don't want to leave, this is my real home, and I have forgotten all about my old home. ”

Lonely, lonely, deeply depressed.

Tatsuno listened, did not interject, and was willing to be a listener.

"When I was young, I was arrogant, unstoppable, and dedicated to the pursuit of the ultimate power, but when I really came out, I knew that it was ridiculous, and when I was enlightened, I was old again, I really hope that there is no reincarnation in the world, and I am the only one. ”

Tatsuno really didn't understand the old man's feelings.

"In the past, there was a monk who successfully left, and returned through the ancient pagoda again a few years later, and I don't know what happened now, I must have been vindicated. ”

Long Ye originally wanted to tell the old man the truth, but when the words came to his mouth, he took it back, but it was very good to give the old man a thought, at least he still had the fighting spirit and the heart to compare.

Because Tatsuno already knew that the one who succeeded at the beginning was the reincarnation supreme, that is, the previous life in the mouth of the Stygian Phoenix.

But the funny thing is that Tatsuno doesn't think so.

He always firmly believes that he is the only one, and the so-called reincarnation is nothing more than turning around and looking at the scenery.

"The test here has nothing to do with the realm, but more about the power of talent and comprehension, as well as the power of creation, within each layer of the ancient tower, as long as the test is completed, the ancient tower will give you without hesitation, for countless years, only I am the only one who is still persevering, not that I am strong, nor how good my talent is, but that I am too stupid. ”

The old man turned his head to look at Tatsuno, grinning, there was only one hole, and a few sparse teeth were mostly crumbling.

"So it's fair here, but there's no need to worry about the lack of realm. ”

"What is the realm of the seniors?"

"Hey, don't say, don't say. ”

Tatsuno was speechless.

Through the old man's self-talk, Long Ye knew a little about the test of the ancient tower, and suddenly he was proud, and the old man felt it, and he didn't hit Long Ye, still looking up at the void dome.

"Thank you, seniors. "Tatsuno is respectful, although he doesn't know the identity of this old man, but at least he knows that this is a respectable senior, a monk who pursues extreme strength.

"Looks like you've made your decision. ”

"Yes, my generation's cultivation is nothing more than the pursuit of ultimate strength, tempering the body and mind, in order to achieve transcendence. ”

"Haha, you haven't understood it yet, the purpose of true cultivation is to pursue eternal life, not so-called power, you will know this later. ”

Tatsuno smiled awkwardly.

The old man got up and entered the ancient tower, and Tatsuno followed.

The inside of the ancient pagoda was empty, and there was no decoration or external objects in sight.

The outside is square and the inside is round, there is a circular staircase along the tower wall, which is unobstructed, but such a height can not fall to death.

However, at the end of the staircase, there is a boulder on the side, completely blocking the portal to the upper floor.

The old man ignored Tatsuno, returned to his original coldness, and walked up the stairs step by step, and the strange thing was that the boulder that was lying at the entrance of the second floor actually passed through without any obstacles, as if the boulder did not exist.

Long Ye thought, thinking that the old man had successfully passed the nine-layer test, so the passage blocked by the boulder only had an effect on the later testers.

Reaching out to the touch, it was cold and heavy, and other than that, there was no magic, and I couldn't even feel the power of any runes, so what was the power that stopped a group of monks?

Tatsuno didn't make a rash move, and looked at it carefully, but he still couldn't see any mystery, it seemed to be just a hard boulder.

But Tatsuno knew that it was definitely not as simple as he thought.
