Translator: 549690339
Yang Zhen had just stepped into the entrance of the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower when he was hit by a wave of dizziness, as if his head had been twirled around countless times, almost making him throw up.
Fortunately, this feeling came and passed quickly. By the time Yang Zhen had recovered, he found himself in a strange environment.
He stood amidst lush trees and undulating hills, amidst boulders and rocks. To his surprise, there were birds chirping and flowers blooming. This left Yang Zhen dumbfounded.
Was this the interior of the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower?
If so, this tower was indeed extraordinary, housing not only lifeforms but also resembling the outside world.
The next moment, a trace of surprise flashed in Yang Zhen’s eyes.
The Heaven and Earth Qi here was extremely rich, so rich that it made his internal energy surge and storm within him.
For the first time, Yang Zhen felt that cultivation was so easy. In this environment, every breath he took seemed to make him stronger. The Shangyuan Ancient Scripture spun wildly within him, drawing in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Qi at an unbelievable speed and absorbing it into his body.
Even yawning could increase his cultivation here. Yang Zhen didn’t know whether this was due to his outstanding talent or the environment, but this state of affairs brought him to the peak of joy.
After pondering for a while, Yang Zhen concluded that the reason his cultivation speed in the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower had increased nearly fivefold was not solely due to the rich fluctuations of Qi here, but also his talent.
If every random person here had such a high cultivation speed bonus, this place would have been overcrowded long ago.
As he walked, Yang Zhen surveyed the surroundings. The world of the first level of the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower was vast and boundless. At least, as far as Yang Zhen could see, he could not see any boundaries, let alone people.
However, even though he didn’t see anyone, it didn’t stop Yang Zhen from knowing that at this moment, there were probably hundreds of people in the world of the first level of the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower.
At this moment, Yang Zhen’s expression shifted. He quickly found a deserted corner, sat cross-legged, and a odd look appeared on his face.
“I’ve made a breakthrough?”
It was too fast. Cultivating inside here was remarkably quick. He’d only been inside for half an hour, yet he had already broken through to the peak of the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment. He was just one more step away from reaching the Minor Mahayana Phase.
Once reaching the Minor Mahayana Phase, he’d be able to fly with a sword. Just thinking about how cool flying with a sword would be made Yang Zhen feel eager.
Every inhabitant of the Blue Planet dreamed of flying freely amongst the blue sky and white clouds.
However, despite making a breakthrough, Yang Zhen was not that happy. He was alone, with no one to appreciate this wonderful moment. What was the fun in enjoying the joy of breakthrough alone?
After carefully considering, Yang Zhen decided that next time, when he would break through to the Minor Mahayana Phase, he would do it in front of many people. It was better to share joy with everyone. Sharing the joy of a breakthrough with everyone and giving them the motivation to continue pushing forward was what he wanted.
With this decision settled, Yang Zhen rose and felt pleased.
The Nine Realms Exquisite Tower was not always accessible. Its laws of heaven and earth seemed to differ from outside. Each time they entered the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower, in addition to achieving better cultivation results, the practitioners could also obtain various natural resources and treasures.
It was said each world contained a world treasure. The person who obtained the world treasure would no doubt be the chosen one, the dragon among men, a genius among geniuses.
Only the most favored individuals could obtain a world treasure, according to the consensus over the years.
However, Yang Zhen wasn’t interested in the world treasure. He only wanted to find the entrance to the second level, then climb as high as possible, and cultivate for three days in the highest place.
In the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower, practitioners could only stay on each level for a maximum of three days. During these three days, most practitioners on the lower levels would be busy looking for the world treasure. Only when they reached a level they could barely stand would they find a secluded place for cultivation.
The first world was almost primitive, one of the best worlds for cultivation. However, many practitioners had no intention of cultivating; they were all looking for Yang Zhen.
At one place in the first world, a young man with a burly figure frowned and said to Lan Fangyue beside him, “Yang Zhen is just asking for trouble. I’ve never seen such an arrogant man. He offended so many people, yet we have to waste our time protecting him. I really don’t know what the tower master was thinking.”
Lan Fangyue frowned and said, “Senior brother Dong, this is not the time to complain. We have to find Yang Zhen quickly. You heard it just now that as soon as Yuan Kong and his people entered, they offered a reward of three thousand crystal stones for finding Yang Zhen. If we don’t find him quickly, once those people find him…”
Senior Brother Dong chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, Junior sister Lan. I’m just venting. How dare I slack off on the task assigned by the tower master? In fact, although I think Yang Zhen shouldn’t be so high-profile, I still admire him a lot.”
Lan Fangyue gave a bitter smile, “Now the hardest part is that Yang Zhen doesn’t contact us. I really don’t know what he is thinking.”
Next to Senior Brother Dong, a woman with a voluptuous figure and Golden Core Stage cultivation level patted Lan Fangyue on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, considering Yang Zhen’s character, he won’t be in trouble so soon. Instead, I have a hunch that Yuan Kong and his group are going to be unlucky!”
“What?” Lan Fangyue was startled and asked in surprise, “Senior Sister Lu, why do you say that?”
Senior Sister Lu and Brother Dong looked at each other, then she said, “Although we haven’t met Yang Zhen, we’re well aware of his deeds. He never does anything without full assurance. Many people are deceived by his arrogant appearance, but in fact, he is more cautious than us in some aspects.” “Just like…” Senior Brother Dong hesitated for a moment, then chuckled, “Just like a fox!”
The voluptuous woman, senior sister Lu, let out a girlish laugh, which stunned some practitioners nearby.
In terms of attractiveness to men, the pure and transcendent young woman Lan Fangyue was indeed popular, but the kind of woman who could truly stir up men’s inner restlessness was someone like the Lu family’s woman with mature charm.
Senior sister Lu looked around at the practitioners and a seductive smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. “Now I am getting more and more interested in this little lad, Yang Zhen. He even dared to hang on the tower master. I really want to see what the tower master looked like at the time.” Senior Brother Dong:”…”
Lan Fangyue:”…”
Senior Brother Dong chuckled and said, “All right, let’s hurry up and find Yang Zhen’s whereabouts before we are targeted by Yuan Kong’s group.”
“Where should we look?” Lan Fangyue was puzzled.
Senior Sister Lu gave a chuckle, glanced at Senior Brother Dong, and they both said at the same time, “World Treasure!”
Lan Fangyue’s eyes lit up. She whispered, “Right, Yang Zhen surely wouldn’t miss out on this excitement..”
