Chapter 36 Yunling Pagoda
"What?! Are you talking about the Four Swords clan?!" Xie Qingyang's voice suddenly increased by eight degrees, and he looked at Xie Chen in front of him in disbelief.
Xie Chen nodded and took out a jade token from his body. The appearance of this jade token was very similar to the one given by Xie Qingyang at the beginning, except that the word on the front of the jade token was replaced by the word "chen", and the number of small swords behind it also became four.
He is really a member of the Four Swords clan! It seems that my father has taken great care of Xie Chen and Xie Tuo! Xie Qingyang swallowed in envy.
Among the clans, there are tens of thousands of people, and only hundreds of people who have jade plaques called "Sword Clans". Among these people, only strong people above the Spirit King are qualified to become Four Sword Clans. Xie Mingfeng was awarded the Five Swords level because he was a great manager.
As for the descendants of the family, there are only the heads of the north and south courtyards, and they are granted the highest level among the descendants, the Three Swords clan.
Now that Xie Chen has become a member of the Four Swords clan, his status has far surpassed that of his second son and the leader of the Southern Court. How could Xie Qingyang not be surprised or envious?
However, Xie Qingyang also understood that Xie Chen and Xie Tuo were both rare geniuses in the family for a hundred years. It was reasonable to be taken seriously. However, when he suddenly saw the clan brother he was going to recruit, he climbed onto his head in just a few days, and he felt a little unbalanced.
"Brother Qingyang clan, you haven't answered my question yet." Seeing Xie Qingyang's unstable expression, Xie Chen couldn't help but frown slightly and reminded: "I wonder if the four sword clan members of the family are qualified to enter the Soul Tower?"
"Oh, the Spirit Tower... there is! Of course there is!" Xie Qingyang came to his senses and said firmly.
After saying that, Xie Qingyang added: "The Soul Tower is a secret treasure of the family tribe. The Three Swords tribe members have an opportunity to enter once a year. The four Swords tribes can enter at will. The tribe members below the double Swords need to be approved by the great manager before entering. However, the amplification effect of the Soul Tower absorbing spiritual power seems to be not very significant for those above the Spirit King. Therefore, generally, the seniors of our tribe who are above the Spirit King do not practice in the tower."
"So that's it. Thank you brother Qingyang." Xie Chen smiled slightly, understood and stood up to say goodbye.
"Haha, you're welcome, let me go slowly..."
It was not until Xie Chen left for a long time that Xie Qingyang slowly breathed out, "Four Swordsmen! When can I become a Four Swordsmen? No wonder people say that talent determines everything. I used to disagree, but now when I see it, it turns out to be like this..."
After saying goodbye to Xie Qingyang, Xie Chen kept walking straight to the direction of Yunling Tower.
The location of the Yunling Tower is not far from the inner courtyard of the family, and you can see it in only half an hour on foot.
This is a seven-story pagoda building that is pitch black all over, standing alone in a vast open space. From a distance, it looks like a giant sword soaring into the sky!
There is no obstacle around the Black Tower, as if this place is not as mysterious as the legendary one. But Xie Chen knew that such an uncovered place is the easiest to monitor. Once someone dares to step into the alert range, he will definitely be severely blocked!
Sure enough, just when Xie Chen had just stepped onto the open space around the Soul Tower, a figure had already shot from far to near, like an arrow!
"The family is not allowed to break into private places!" With a low shout, the visitor was already standing in front of Xie Chen, his eyes were like eagles, and he looked at the boy in front of him with vigilance.
Xie Chen looked at this person and judged from his breath that his aura was no weaker than the guide who helped him awaken. It was obviously at least at the level of the Spirit Lord.
"Senior, don't misunderstand it. Xie Chen, the junior in the clan, is about to go to the Soul Tower." Xie Chen said lightly with a calm expression.
"Go to the Yunling Tower?" The man looked up and down at Xie Chen, with a look of disdain in his eyes. Obviously, he had not heard of the name Xie Chen. "How could you enter the Yunling Tower be entered as soon as you say it? Is there a warrant for the great manager?!"
"No..." Xie Chen shook his head, then took out a jade token from his body and said lightly: "But I have this."
"Without you, you dare... this is it?!" The man saw Xie Chen shook his head and was about to be scolded, but suddenly he saw the jade token that Xie Chen took out, and was stunned.
"Four Swords?" The man rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then looked at Xie Chen carefully, and couldn't help but be stunned. It was not until this moment that he noticed that the young man in front of him was actually the cultivation level of a spiritual master! A spiritual master in his teens?!
"Does the authenticity of the jade tag still need to be verified?" Xie Chen said with a smile.
"No need...please!" The guards of the jade plaque's true and false spiritual tower could naturally tell at a glance. At this moment, he found Xie Chen's cultivation level, and he had no doubts and immediately let him go.
After verifying his identity, he had no obstacles along the way. Soon he had arrived under the spiritual tower like a sharp sword.
Standing under the tower, I suddenly felt even more magnificent. The seventh-story pagoda stood in front of me, and a faint sense of oppression came to my face. Those with slightly weak cultivation could even be oppressed so hard that they could not breathe.
Above the seven-step black stone steps is the main gate of the Yunling Tower. In front of the main gate, two black-clothed guards with spiritual masters with cultivation are straight and their eyes are as lightning.
When she saw the guard again, Xie Chen took out the identity jade tablet directly. After verification, he walked into the spiritual tower under the surprised eyes of the two spiritual guards.
The space inside the tower was wider than expected. The entire layer was empty and there was nothing. When she looked up, Xie Chen suddenly realized that the seven-story pagoda that she had originally seen outside was just one layer inside!
At first glance, the dark tower body was like an endless night sky. When you were a little nervous, you would feel dizzy.
"Don't look up! There is a maze restriction on it, the place we are going is below!" Jian Jiu's voice sounded in Xie Chen's mind.
"Lower?!" Xie Chen was shocked, and immediately calmed down and looked around. Finally, on the left, he found a staircase extending downwards.
"What we are looking for should be below. Let's go down and see the situation first." Jian Jiu urged. Now he felt that it was very close to his goal.
Xie Chen followed the stairs and went down the stairs. This stairs were not a straight line, but extended downwards in a spiral shape. After walking for a while, the entrance behind Xie Chen had disappeared. After walking for a while, he suddenly realized.
I really didn't expect that there was such a large space under this spiritual tower! Looking at the huge space in front of me, which was more than 100 meters long and wide, Xie Chen couldn't help but admire him.
In the square space, there are thirty stone chambers on both sides. Most of the stone chamber doors are open, and only a few stone chambers have the stone doors closed, and someone should be practicing in it.
"Haha, I said who it is? It turns out to be you." A chuckle suddenly sounded, but it scared Xie Chen.
Looking at her eyes, on the stone platform in the middle of two rows of stone chambers, an old man with thin gray robe like a zombie was looking at Xie Chen with a smile. The wrinkles on his face were piled up, layered, looking extremely cunning.
How could Xie Chen forget such a terrifying smile? He hurriedly bowed slightly and said, "Xie Chen has seen the Fourth Elder."
"Well, are you here to practice? Where is that little guy named Xie Tuo?" The fourth elder obviously had a good impression of Xie Chen and asked.
"Report to the Fourth Elder, I am very curious when I heard about the Spirit Tower, so I come and take a look. This time, only the younger generation came. Is the Fourth Elder also practicing here?"
"Cultivation? Haha..." The fourth elder smiled slightly and said, "The amplification effect here is very little for me, just because the other old guys are in seclusion. I am free, so I protect me here. Since I have come, I will go in and try it. Enter the stone chamber, put your identity jade tablet into the stone trough, and then I can practice."
Xie Chen suddenly realized that in such an important place in the Spirit Tower, how could it be without the protection of the Spirit King's powerful man? It seems that the spiritual guards outside should be all pretexts. The real guardians are several elders of the family...
Thinking of this, Xie Chen bowed slightly without hesitation. Following the instructions of the Fourth Elder, he walked into a stone chamber on the left. The reason why Xie Chen chose this place was because it was the farthest from the stone platform where the Fourth Elder sat.
The stone door outside the stone room was closed with a bang, and a soft light suddenly appeared inside the sealed stone room. When I looked up, I saw that the light source was a huge night pearl in the center of the stone room ceiling.
Directly opposite Xie Chen was a stone bed. Next to the stone bed, a small stone platform stood in the center of the open space. Apart from this, there was nothing else in the stone chamber.
When he reached the front of the stone platform, Xie Chen took out his identity jade plaque and put it in the groove on the small stone platform with a tight slit. With a "brush!", a green light flashed on the jade plaque! Then the light slowly dissipated. Obviously, there was a restriction in the jade plaque, and only those who are qualified can practice here.
"Nothing unusual?" Xie Chen looked around. Except for the flash of green light that made him feel moved, there was no change in the stone chamber. Under the sensation, the surrounding spiritual power may not be filled.
"Absorb and try it!" Jian Jiu spoke out to remind him.
"Okay." Xie Chen nodded, sat cross-legged on the stone bed, and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.
"Huh?!" Unexpectedly, Xie Chen had just started preparing and had not even used the skills in his body, but suddenly realized that the spiritual power around him seemed to be filled instantly! When the skills were activated, he felt that spiritual power like a tide was pouring into his body from all directions!
This instant fullness is definitely not three times that of Xie Qingyang. Xie Chen felt that the spiritual power here is probably more than five times more than that of the outside world! This is definitely an excellent place for spiritual masters to improve their cultivation!
Opening his eyes, Xie Chen talked about his feelings with Jian Jiu.
Jian Jiu pondered for a moment and said, "The spiritual power you feel is more intense than that of ordinary people because you have the skills to practice. But others don't, and they can only rely on normal breathing and absorption. As far as I know, at least five kinds of treasures can be achieved."
As he said that, Jian Jiu paused, as if thinking about something, and then continued for a while: "If it is combined, it will have little effect on the cultivation level above the Spirit King. Then the treasure in this spiritual tower should be the Spirit-Surveying Pearl."
Speaking of this, Jian Jiu laughed, "Boy, the spirit-catching bead is the treasure of your clan. If you take it, this spiritual tower will be ruined."
