Chapter 1118: Getting Familiar with the Tower, Challenging Each Level, and Taking the Lead (over 4,200 Words)

The first floor of the tower that was exposed above the water had doors and windows, all tightly closed, and was covered with dense and strange runes.

Yu Guihai's heart moved slightly, and his face showed a thoughtful look.

The architectural style of this tower and the strange runes on it were completely different from the spiritual world style and text he knew, and there was a fundamental difference, as if they were not from this world.

Instead, he felt that this architectural style and runes had a somewhat inexplicable familiarity.

"Is this a relic left by the ascenders from the lower world?"

Yu Guihai thought about it and was sure that he had never seen such runes. But this inexplicable feeling would not be without reason, he felt that this reason was closer.

In particular, although this architectural style was also different from the lower world style he knew, some similarities could be seen faintly.

Although the lower world void was extremely huge and the worlds were far apart, the powerful forces that could produce ascenders basically had the strength to cross the starry sky, so there was no problem for civilizations to communicate with each other.

This will lead to a certain cultural exchange, resulting in different civilizations in different places merging traces of other cultures, which may also cause this inexplicably familiar style and unfamiliar text.

Thinking of this, Yu Guihai decided in his heart that he must explore this relic, and there might be something he needs in it. For example, a magic weapon.

The three powerful men below also took action at this time. They first carefully explored the surroundings.

Yu Guihai hid very well, and his hiding method was very powerful. In addition, the three people did not think that anyone would appear nearby, so it was just a large-scale exploration, not a thorough exploration, so Yu Guihai was not discovered by these people.

After the three people finished the exploration and confirmed that there was no problem, they directly cast spells, and a layer of invisible fluctuations suddenly emerged in the valley. This wave swept past, and the black water lake disappeared directly wherever it passed.

Soon, the whole valley became an ordinary valley without any special features. The entire black water lake and the tower disappeared with the three people.

Yu Guihai knew that this was not a real disappearance, but was covered by a powerful formation, so that people outside could not see the clues of this place.

This formation is quite extraordinary. It directly built this place into a double-layer space, and the real space was covered by the space created by the formation.

If the formation is not broken, even if outsiders enter the valley, they will not be able to find the existence of the lake, and can only treat it as an ordinary valley.

However, Yu Guihai's attainments in formation are extremely high, and this situation cannot stop his exploration at all.

He released a trace of consciousness and easily passed through the flaws of the formation and entered the interior of the formation.

The three powerful men did not realize that their formation had been seen through, and were discussing something. But the content of the discussion was blocked by the forbidden spells around them and could not be heard at all.

Yu Guihai tried to interpret it through lip reading, but soon gave up. The three powerful men were of different races, with different mouth shapes and completely different ways of speaking, and lip reading could not interpret it at all.

So he could only wait and see what the three powerful men would do.

Fortunately, the three did not keep him waiting for long, and they soon took action.

The three powerful men came to the front of the tower facing the gate, and then cast spells, and three powerful waves emanated.

Not long after, the three men attacked at the same time, and three extremely powerful attacks suddenly blasted out, instantly hitting the tightly closed door.

Rumble~~~~

The strange runes on the door suddenly flashed, and black light curtains burst out. However, they were penetrated layer by layer by the attacks of the three men, and they penetrated one tenth of them before they were blocked.

The three men were not surprised, and continued to cast spells and launched a second attack.

Yu Guihai was a little surprised to see this. These three people were all powerful men in the late stage of the Hedao realm, and their attack power was imaginable. Even so, they could only break through one tenth of the defense.

It can be seen from this that this tower is by no means ordinary.

Yu Guihai's heart is even more expectant.

Not long after, the three powerful men launched another attack, and the defensive light curtain of the tower portal finally collapsed and was penetrated by the last layer, dissipating like a bubble.

At this time, the portal was completely revealed.

This portal was completely different from the one seen before. There was a strange disc on the originally bare gate, and there was a pentagonal shape on the disc. Five black gems were inlaid on the five corners of the pentagon.

Each gem contained a strange light ball of a color, silver-white, turquoise, ice blue, fiery red, and earth yellow. It seemed to correspond to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Yu Guihai's heart moved. He was very familiar with this pattern, which was very similar to the inheritance of the Yin Refiner. But it was very different.

This surprised him secretly.

He was sure that this thing was definitely related to the Yin Refiner.

At this time, the three people exchanged some ideas, and then each turned into a beam of light and rushed towards a gem on the portal, and sank into the gem as soon as they got close.

The silver-feathered bird-headed man sank into the gemstone of the silver-white light ball, the Kru people sank into the gemstone of the ice-blue light ball, and the monster with a human head and a fish body entered the gemstone of the turquoise light ball.

After the three people entered, the light balls in the three gemstones went out immediately, and no one could enter anymore. Only the light balls in the remaining two gemstones that no one had entered were still shining.

When Yu Guihai sensed that the three people entered, there was a subtle transmission wave on the door. It was obvious that this was a secret place. The five gems on the door represented five different destinations, and only one person could enter each place.

In this way, he was completely relieved.

Before, he was worried that he would meet the three powerful men after entering the tower. Now it seems that there is no need to worry about this.

Yu Guihai waited for a while, and when he saw that the three people did not come out, he quickly flew down, passed through the magic circle easily, and came to the front of the gate.

He explored it and was ready to enter, but suddenly stopped and looked outside, then returned to the formation outside, made some moves in it, and then came to the front of the door and rushed directly into the fiery red gem.

These gems secretly match the meaning of the five elements, but Yu Guihai was not sure whether it was true or not. So when he chose, he did not dare to rely solely on the five elements.

He directly relied on his intuition.

At first glance, he felt that the gem of the fiery red light ball was more pleasing to the eye. So he chose this one.

At his level, his intuition is also extraordinary. When faced with some difficult decisions, he often relies on intuition to find opportunities.

Yu Guihai felt dizzy, as if he had entered a washing machine and was spinning rapidly.

After a while, he fell out of a hole somewhere. He hurriedly stabilized his body and looked around, and found that he had come to a fiery red room.

Behind him was a black door, and in front of him was an empty room. There were smooth walls around, and red runes were engraved on the walls, and lava-like liquid flowed in the runes.

Opposite him was a downward staircase, and the fiery red color could be seen at the entrance of the stairs. Most of the fire in the room came from the entrance of the stairs.

This seemed to be inside a high tower. Sure enough, everyone who entered the high tower would enter a different space.

Yu Guihai carefully observed the room and did not move, because he felt a faint threat coming from the room, but there was nothing unusual here.

He secretly cast a variety of detection spells, but he could not detect where the threat came from.

However, he couldn't just sit there and wait. So, he took a step forward.

Suddenly, a red light projected from the middle of the room, slowly forming a red light ball, which squirmed for a while, and a powerful aura emerged.

Boom~~~

With a bang, the light ball suddenly exploded, and a huge monster made of lava appeared on the spot. Its height and body shape were similar to Yu Guihai, and it was waving a lava pillar in its hand.

As soon as it appeared, the lava monster waved the pillar and rushed towards Yu Guihai, emitting a powerful aura of the late stage of the Dao Realm.

Yu Guihai had no expression on his face, and punched out, hitting the pillar.

Boom~~~

The whole monster and the pillar were shattered together, leaving only a group of fiery red crystals the size of a human head, and a raging flame rose from the crystals.

"This is the Burning Sky Fire Essence!"

Yu Guihai was a little surprised. The monster was not very powerful, but he didn't expect it to drop such a treasure. The Burning Sky Fire Essence is a precious material that can be used to refine acquired spiritual treasures.

He reached out and put away the Burning Sky Fire Essence, and walked towards the opposite staircase.

This time, the runes on the wall dimmed, and no other monsters appeared.

Yu Guihai came to the staircase and looked down, only to see red jade stones paved into steps spiraling downward, and the space on the next level could not be seen.

He thought for a moment, then walked down the steps. The crisp footsteps sounded immediately.

Yu Guihai frowned slightly. He obviously landed silently, but his footsteps landed on the steps, but there was such a clear sound, which was definitely unusual.

He didn't care, just walked down step by step.

Not long after, he stopped, because he found that this passage seemed to be bottomless. After walking for so long, he should have reached the lower level, but he still hadn't reached it.

Yu Guihai looked back, and the upper staircase was no longer visible. He seemed to be hanging in this endless staircase.

There is a problem!

Death!

Yu Guihai suddenly turned around and punched out. A shrill howl sounded in the air, and a black ghost-like shadow twisted and shattered.

His eyes flashed and returned to normal. He was standing in the middle of the stairs and could already see the exit below.

There was still a room below, which was basically the same as the upper level, and opposite was another exit leading downwards.

Yu Guihai took a step forward, and a lava giant appeared in the room again. The strength of this lava giant was enough to reach the peak of the Dao-transforming realm. However, it was still smashed by Yu Guihai's punch, and a larger piece of Burning Heaven Fire Essence fell.

Then, he walked to the next level.

The third level was still the same, but the lava giant became the first level of the Dao-integrating realm. What fell was still the Burning Heaven Fire Essence, which was as big as a stone roller.

Yu Guihai did not continue to go down, he found something wrong.

If he continued like this, he would soon face a powerful monster beyond his level, and he didn't know what would happen then.

"Can't do this!"

Yu Guihai thought about it and decided to try to subdue this monster on the fourth level.

When he reached the fourth floor, the monster that appeared was indeed the second level of the Hedao Realm.

Yu Guihai held back this time, subdued the monster directly, and then tried to subdue it.

He soon discovered that this thing was not a living thing, and the Book of Life and Death was ineffective. All the methods of restraining the soul were also ineffective. Even the method of controlling the puppet had no effect.

However, he accidentally discovered that a Yin Refiner's control method he learned in the lower world could affect this lava monster. But because the level is too low, it can only be stopped for a while, but it cannot be subdued at all.

This made Yu Guihai feel more and more that this place had a certain relationship with the Yin Refiner.

Yu Guihai directly killed the lava monster, and then took the fallen Burning Sky Fire Essence.

In this way, he went all the way down, passing through the fifth and sixth floors one by one.

When he arrived on the seventh floor, he found that this room was different from the one above.

There is no further downward staircase. Opposite the entrance is a stone table with a fiery red token placed on it.

Yu Guihai took a step forward, and a powerful lava monster immediately appeared in the room. This monster was as strong as the fifth level of Hedao Realm. It reached the peak that Yu Guihai could deal with.

Yu Guihai took his time and activated the Yin Refiner's technique. The lava monster suddenly paused.

Rumble~~~

A huge dark golden iron rod suddenly hit the monster's head, smashing it into pieces.

Pa~~

There was a soft sound, and a beating red heart fell to the ground, still beating continuously.

"This is the magic medicine!"

Yu Guihai immediately felt the vigorous power of the medicine. Even his now tyrannical body could feel the greedy desire, just wanting to devour the heart and use it for himself.

He suppressed his body's desire, put away the red heart, then came to the stone table and looked at the fiery red token.

"Xuan Ming Ling!"

After Yu Guihai saw the appearance of the token clearly, he suddenly exclaimed.

This fiery red token is very similar to Xuan Ni Ling!

He checked carefully and found no dangerous restrictions, so he picked up the token and opened it to see a word "fire" written on the back!

Before he could look any further, he felt a powerful distortion wave envelope him.

In the blink of an eye, the scenery changed, and Yu Guihai found that he was outside and standing at the door of the tower.

He didn't have time to think too much, his body flashed and he quickly moved away from this place.

After waiting for the formation, he transformed into a sea-covering ape, suddenly threw the golden cudgel, and then teleported to land on the giant stick, disappearing from the horizon in an instant.

A moment later, three figures appeared at the door of the tower, and they were the three powerful men in the late stages of the Hedao Realm.

"I wonder which fellow Taoist took the initiative?"

The silver-feathered bird-headed man asked first.

"It seems to be Fellow Daoist Krum." After hearing what he said, the monster with a human head and a fish body said with a smile.

"What kind of riddles are you two playing? It's clear that one of you two has taken the lead." The Kru tribe member said with a worried expression.

"No way. Look."

The silver-feathered bird-headed man had a strange look on his face. Suddenly he saw the door of the tower and said in shock.

The other two people looked and saw four gems dimming on the disk. Only an earth-yellow light cluster remained, and the gem still shimmered.

"Asshole! There is a fourth person!"

Three roars resounded throughout the valley, and the terrifying anger contained in them was as powerful as burning the sky and destroying the earth!

Then, the tower shook and quickly disappeared under the dark lake.
