Chapter 774 Waiting for Someone
"Could the First Saint have already tamed the Heavenly Principle Tower?" Lin Yun asked in surprise after hearing Modan's words.
Because he had heard from Xiao Chong and also sensed himself that the Heavenly Principle Tower was an extremely powerful artifact. The Heavenly Principle Tree, merely an accompanying growth, could give birth to such a heaven-defying treasure as the Heavenly Principle Fruit, which showed just how heaven-defying the Tower itself was.
The Heavenly Principle Tower was indeed heaven-defying. If one could obtain it, not to mention becoming invincible, one would certainly become a renowned figure throughout the entire universe, a fact universally acknowledged by the universe's top echelons.
Some of the top cultivators even knew that the legendary figure, the First Saint, had been unable to tame the Heavenly Principle Tower, adding an extra layer of mystery to it.
Now that Lin Yun knew that the First Saint could have tamed the Tower all along, how could he not be astonished?
However, if the First Saint could have tamed the Heavenly Principle Tower so easily, why hadn't he taken it with him? Could there really be someone who thought they had too many treasures? Or did the person simply not value the Heavenly Principle Tower?
"The First Saint said that this Heavenly Principle Tower is one of the strongest artifacts between heaven and earth, only now it's covered in dust. It's waiting for someone, someone who can lead it back to its former glory..." Modan fell into reminiscence as he spoke slowly.
Lin Yun was taken aback, never expecting the First Saint to have said such a thing.
It seemed then, that the First Saint did not undervalue this artifact... on the contrary, there was a feeling as though he did not match up to the artifact?
For some reason, such a strange feeling arose in the depths of Lin Yun's heart.
But soon, Lin Yun shook his head, dismissing the thought.
How could that be possible? The First Saint was such a legendary and powerful figure. One person could easily lead many saints, transforming an ordinary place into a legendary land of the universe.
How could such a person not be worthy of an artifact?
"Covered in dust? Could it be that the artifact is no longer as strong as it originally was, or that the First Saint did not value the dust-covered artifact? Or perhaps he lacked the energy to restore the artifact to its former state and regretfully hoped someone else could one day make it shine again?" Lin Yun pondered thoughtfully.
The more he thought, the more it seemed likely... But just how powerful must the Heavenly Principle Tower have been to be so praised by the First Saint, and how did it come to be covered in dust?
A trace of curiosity arose in Lin Yun's heart, but quickly, he put the matter aside.
Now was not the time to contemplate this issue.
It was time to figure out how to enter the top level of the Heavenly Principle Tower and obtain the Heavenly Principle Liquid.
At that moment, Lin Yun suddenly remembered other information from Modan's words.
Originally, the First Saint had entered the top level of the Heavenly Principle Tower to help him retrieve the Heavenly Principle Liquid, and the First Saint had said that whoever could penetrate to the top level inside the tower would be able to tame it.
Now, to have the First Saint to help them obtain the Heavenly Principle Liquid again was certainly impossible. Could it be that Modan thought he could make it to the top level inside the tower? Was he implying that he could tame the Heavenly Principle Tower?
Lin Yun was speechless.
If so many of the universe's top figures had been unable to tame the tower, by what virtue or ability could he possibly do so?
Like the Firestone Family's Meteor Ancestor; according to Wei Firestone, who had fallen, the Meteor Ancestor had already made a breakthrough to the realm of Saint. If such a figure could not tame the tower, Lin Yun truly had no confidence that he could surpass such individuals.
"Master Lin is not an ordinary person, perhaps he is capable of accomplishing this?" At this moment, Modan on the other side looked at Lin Yun with shining eyes and spoke.
Indeed, Lin Yun was the most powerful genius he had seen in his life, although that An Firestone was also half a step into being a Super Warrior. If neither used any artifacts, An's strength would be somewhat superior to Lin Yun's.
But how old was that An Firestone? Over one hundred thousand years old!
And Lin Yun? He was only around thirty years old!
According to the information he had obtained, Lin Yun had really only been exposed to cultivation for less than ten years!
In less than ten years, he had grown from an ordinary youth to his current level, how terrifying was that?
Although Lin Yun was the owner of the Cosmic Trading System, this achievement was already beyond what any owner could hope to accomplish!
Perhaps, Lin Yun really was the person the First Saint spoke of, the one who could tame the Heavenly Principle Tower!
Thinking this, Modan's eyes grew brighter and brighter, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed!
"Senior Modan flatters me too much..." Lin Yun said with a wry smile.
He did not dare to hope that he could tame the Heavenly Principle Tower, but he did not feel disheartened, for he already possessed the Bloodthirsty Sword, which was capable of enhancing a person's innate talent. Now it was even digesting the essence blood of Wei Firestone, a powerful Super Warrior, his strength and talent were gradually increasing.
Not being able to tame the Heavenly Principle Tower, not being able to obtain the Heavenly Principle Liquid, was also alright.
"Even if I can't tame it, even if I can't enter the topmost layer of the Heavenly Principle Tower, it's fine. As I know, the more layers one clears inside the tower, the more mysterious gifts one can obtain. These gifts are greatly beneficial for improving one's physique and talent. The Heavenly Principle Fruit, a top-tier heavenly resource, can also enhance one's physique and talent.
Perhaps you don't even need to enter the topmost layer to restore your talent..." Modan said with a smile.
Although he was very optimistic about Lin Yun, upon further thought, this matter also seemed incredulous. After all, the Heavenly Principle Tower had existed in this universe for a very long time, and no one had tamed it over the eons; could Lin Yun really do it?
Even if he hoped so, he couldn't put too much pressure on Lin Yun. Sometimes, having too much pressure when doing something wasn't good; it was better to let things take their natural course.
"Thank you, Senior Modan, for the encouragement and for telling me all this..."
Lin Yun gave thanks with another formal bow.
Afterward, Lin Yun exchanged a few more words with Modan before ending the topic.
Sigh—
With a thought, Lin Yun began to retract the Domain Power that surrounded them.
"Brother!"
"Cloud!"
"Brother Lin, are you alright?"
Xia Qingqing and the others had been waiting nearby for a while. Seeing Lin Yun finish speaking with Modan, they quickly flashed over, asking with great concern.
"I'm fine, sorry to have worried you..." Lin Yun shook his head slightly.
In the end, Lin Yun's gaze turned to Lianshan, Huayang, Qing Luo, and Mo Meng, and he said with deep apology, "It's all because of me that Brother Xiao and Sister Emma fell, putting you all in danger. I'm sorry..."
"Brother Lin, this isn't your fault, you don't need to blame yourself. If it weren't for us insisting on coming up here at that time, Brother Xiao and Sister Emma wouldn't have fallen. We also bear responsibility for this," Lianshan, Huayang, Qing Luo, and Mo Meng hastened to say, their moods heavy as they spoke.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I will avenge this grudge. You must not venture out on your own..." Seeing everyone's spirits were low, Lin Yun quickly changed the subject.
"Next, I want to discuss another matter with you." After pausing for a moment, Lin Yun continued.
