Chapter 476: Entering the Tower
Zuo Nian, who was in the crowd of Zuo family members not far away, glanced at Duan Qing calmly, his expression normal.
How could he not know what his daughter was thinking? The unusual expression when she introduced the boy surnamed Duan could be seen by anyone.
However, since it was related to his daughter's lifelong event, how could he be careless? He had to be cautious.
However, he heard from his daughter that the boy was from the Shinto sect and won the first place in the Jizhou Lunmeng Conference. Such a talent was worthy of his daughter, Zuo Nian.
If he observed that the boy had a good character, it would not be impossible for him to be his son-in-law.
Next, monks kept rushing to the vicinity of the Tongtian Tower.
According to Zuo Wanqiu's explanation, the reason why so many people came to watch was that the Zuo family deliberately released the news to attract many monks from Huangzhou.
The Zuo family did this, which was enough to show their confidence in Zuo Muxiu.
The Zuo family and the Huangyun Sect have always been at odds. This time, the Huangyun Sect took the initiative to come to Shangshui City to provoke. The Zuo family will naturally not miss the opportunity to damage the reputation of the Huangyun Sect.
Duan Qing did not care about this. According to his observation, most of the people who came to watch were male cultivators. Most of them came for Huang Shi of the Huangyun Sect. They were just joining in the fun. Not many people really cared about the outcome.
Even if Huang Shi really lost to Zuo Muxiu in this Tongtian Tower challenge, it would not cause much damage to the reputation of the Huangyun Sect.
By noon, more than 8,000 cultivators had gathered near the Tongtian Tower in Shangshui City.
"Fellow Daoist Zuo, why hasn't Huang Shi arrived yet?" Yu Fan was a little impatient.
Zuo Wanqiu looked at Yu Fan in surprise. "Huang Shi has arrived a long time ago!"
Not only Yu Fan, but others were also slightly surprised when he heard this.
"No way, where is Huang Shi?" Yu Fan said with wide eyes.
Zuo Wanqiu looked at the crowd of Huangyun Sect and pointed at one of the women in plain clothes.
Duan Qing and others followed his finger and saw that the person he pointed at was the elegant woman in plain clothes that they had seen outside the city yesterday.
It turned out that she was Huang Shi!
The woman was indeed very good-looking, not inferior to Zuo Wanqiu at all, and even more elegant.
Because they had seen her outside the city yesterday, everyone thought she was the follower or disciple of the young woman surnamed Mei, so they did not associate her with the legendary Huang Shi at all.
Imagine how the legendary talented woman Huang Shi could appear so casually outside the city of Shangshui.
And her clothes were no different from those of other people in the Huangyun Sect, so everyone thought she was just an ordinary disciple of the Huangyun Sect.
After knowing that the elegant woman was Huang Shi, everyone couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Of course, except Duan Qing.
Compared with Huang Shi's appearance, he was more curious about who could go further in the Tongtian Tower between her and Zuo Muchu.
The Linghai Realm starts from the 1,000th floor to the 9,999th floor. The number of floors in between is 100 times the number of floors that can be entered by the Transcendent Realm.
After noon, the Zuo Family and the Huangyun Sect finally took action. They explained to Zuo Muxiu and Huang Shi and asked them to start the tower.
After the two of them left their own marks on the Tongtian Monument, they both walked to the east gate of the Tongtian Tower and prepared to enter the Tongtian Tower.
Zuo Muxiu and Huang Shi walked to the east gate of the Tongtian Tower, each with a calm expression, looked at each other lightly, and walked into the Tongtian Tower at the same time.
When Duan Qing and Lin Ziyu entered the Tongtian Tower in Liuyue City, they did not leave a mark on the Tongtian Monument in advance, so there were only their code names on the Tongtian Monument at that time, but no names.
At this time, because Zuo Muxiu and the others had left marks on the Tongtian Monument before entering the tower, as soon as they entered the Tongtian Tower, the names of Zuo Muxiu and Huang Shi appeared on the Tongtian Monument.
And after the two names, there are numbers representing the two levels.
The two just entered, and the numbers after their names are all one thousand.
Duan Qing was standing at the edge of the Tongtian Monument, just in time to see Zuo Muxiu and Huang Shi entering the Tongtian Tower.
The look between Zuo Muxiu and Huang Shi just now made Duan Qing feel a little strange.
Although there was nothing unusual in the expressions of the two, Zuo Muxiu's eyes made Duan Qing feel a sense of déjà vu.
However, because they were a little far away, and he didn't pay much attention, he was not sure whether he had seen it wrong.
Duan Qing and others, because of Zuo Wanqiu's help, were under the Tongtian Monument and saw the situation on the monument clearly.
"Junior sister, do you think it is possible for those two to leave their names on the Tianming Monument?" Yu Ya looked at the Tongtian Monument with interest and asked Xue Wanyun.
The Tianming Monument is located in the south of the Tongtian Tower, and records those who have passed through the Tongtian Tower since ancient times and have the corresponding ninth extreme level of cultivation.
Xue Wanyun glanced at Yu Ya and thought that the chatterbox of the senior brother was back!
Although Yu Ya doesn't talk much when there are outsiders around, once he gets familiar with them, he can be so talkative that it can annoy people to death.
Originally, Yu Ya was more restrained when he first met Duan Qing and others, but as he got more and more familiar with Duan Qing and others, he became more talkative again!
"It's not that easy to leave your name on the Destiny Monument, especially with the cultivation level of the Spirit Sea Realm. But if you try, there may be hope." Xue Wanyun responded casually.
It should be noted that since the establishment of the Tongtian Tower, those who can leave their names on the Destiny Monument are all amazing talents, people with great opportunities and great perseverance.
For example, the current head of the Five Elements Sect, Shui Daozi, once passed the 999th floor of the Tongtian Tower with the cultivation level of the Questioning Heart Realm more than 300 years ago.
Today, the name of Shui Daozi is well-known in the Middle-earth, and he ranks among the top ten among the current cultivators in the Middle-earth.
Yu Ya couldn't help but smile when he heard Xue Wanyun say that. "Hehe, you think too highly of me, Senior Brother!"
When he was still in the Transcendent Realm, he had once entered the Tongtian Tower. That time, he only entered the 94th floor and failed to leave his name on the Destiny Monument.
Although he is no longer the same as when he was in the Transcendent Realm, it is much more difficult to enter the Tongtian Tower in the Spiritual Sea Realm than in the Transcendent Realm.
Therefore, even with his strength, he is not confident that he can pass the legendary 9,999 floors!
The Tongtian Tower tests not only the talents of the cultivators, but also the comprehensive tests of the mind, adaptability, etc.
Since ancient times, there have been countless talented monsters, but only a few of them can pass the corresponding nine extreme levels of cultivation.
Duan Qing heard what Yu Ya and Xue Wanyun said, and a trace of regret rose in his heart.
When he was in the Transcendent Realm, he also entered the Tongtian Tower in Liuyue City and reached the 91st floor.
But at that time, the opportunity for breakthrough suddenly came. In order to break through to the state of mind, he had to choose to give up and continue to break through the Tongtian Tower.
Now thinking about it, there are still some small regrets.
In his state at that time, if he gave up the breakthrough and continued to break through, he might really be able to break through the ninety-nine floors and leave his name on the monument of destiny.
Although there are some small regrets in his heart, Duan Qing did not regret his decision at that time.
If he had not been able to break through to the state of mind in the Tongtian Tower at that time, when facing the pursuit of Li Yueqi and Wu Lan later, even with the gourd sword in his hand, whether he could survive is another matter.
Things in the world are like this. There are gains and losses. How can everything be as one wishes? He is greedy.
