Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor
Chapter 702 702, Entering the Life and Death Tower
The mighty demon army has retreated!
However, the surviving human warriors did not show the slightest joy on their faces.
The war was brutal. In this battle, more than seventy kings of the Life and Death Realm from the Human Race fell, with countless losses among the Realm of Transcendence practitioners. Moreover, nearly half of the younger generation of exceptional talents perished. Of course, this half refers to numbers, with most of the fallen being the weaker ones, while the true talents remained.
Boom!
The brilliance in the sky gradually healed. One by one, the kings of the Life and Death Realm broke through the space and disappeared from everyone's sight. For some reason, Chu Ming felt that the Death Emperor's gaze fell on him for a moment as he left. Although it was only a brief instant, Chu Ming could vaguely sense it.
"Alright, the war is over. I will take you to the Life and Death Tower!"
Swoosh!
The white-robed Elder from the Life and Death Palace flew down from the sky, landing in front of Chu Ming and the others, and said faintly.
"Yes!"
No one dared to disobey. In fact, wars initiated by the Demon Race were not without benefits. At least this war thoroughly aroused a sense of crisis in the hearts of all the exceptional talents. At this moment, each of them couldn't wait to spend every minute and second on cultivation.
"To enter the Life and Death Tower, you must first join the Life and Death Palace. Firstly, I will take you to receive the Life and Death Palace's attire!"
As they approached the Life and Death Tower, the white-robed elder spoke faintly.
Standing under the Life and Death Tower, everyone appeared like a group of minions!
As a strategic treasure of the Human Race, the Life and Death Tower had existed since the birth of the Celestial Martial Continent and had always been held by the Human Race.
"The Life and Death Tower has a total of nine floors. The lower three floors are the location of the Life and Death Palace, the middle three floors are for the cultivation of the Realm of Transcendence, and the upper three floors are for the cultivation of kings of the Life and Death Realm!"
Standing at the base of the Life and Death Tower, the white-robed elder looked up at the towering tower and sighed.
"Are there other Realm of Transcendence practitioners on the middle three floors?"
Ling Yun frowned and asked, puzzled. According to the rules of the Life and Death Palace, wasn't it only exceptional talents participating in the Battle for Kingship that could enter the Life and Death Tower for cultivation?
"Naturally, although the Life and Death Tower is a tower, it is more appropriate to describe it as nine-dimensional spaces. Each floor is vast and boundless!"
"As for why they can enter for cultivation, you will know soon!"
The white-robed elder did not explicitly say, only giving a slight hint.
At this point, they had already stepped into the first floor of the Life and Death Tower. A flash of white light appeared before their eyes, and in an instant, they found themselves in a vast plain.
In the high ground of the plain, there were countless palaces and buildings, birds flying and streams flowing. From time to time, figures flew past, very busy, evidently indicating that this was the first floor of the Life and Death Tower.
"How is this possible?!"
Suddenly, Soroch exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention. They saw a mixture of shock and joy in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Changqing inquired.
"The spiritual qi here is dozens of times that of the outside world!"
Before Soroch could speak, a calm voice sounded in everyone's ears. They turned their heads to see that the speaker was Chu Ming.
Without further ado, everyone closed their eyes to sense it. Then they opened their eyes with excitement.
"How is it possible?! The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power here is indeed more than ten times denser than outside!!"
"Just cultivating here, I estimate it won't take long for me to break through to the Fifth Heaven of the Realm of Transcendence!"
"I am confident I can cultivate to the pinnacle of the Realm of Transcendence within ten years!!"
One by one, the young talents expressed joy, eager to begin.
Chu Ming remained silent, but his heart was extremely restless. Living on the first floor of the Life and Death Tower was equivalent to cultivating with Upper Grade Spirit Stones all the time. Moreover, even if one didn't actively cultivate, one's cultivation level would still continuously improve.
"Is this little thing worth making such a fuss about? You should know that with each higher floor of the Life and Death Tower, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power is twice that of the floor below!"
Seeing everyone's excited expressions, the white-robed elder spoke with a shocking revelation.
"Really?"
Ling Yun was shocked, a flash of light passing through his eyes. For these exceptional talents, if there was anything they lacked most, it was time. Given enough time, they could certainly become kings of the Life and Death Realm, even attaining the titles of emperors.
However, with the Demon Race's fierce aggression, they had very little time left.
Cultivating in the Life and Death Tower could undoubtedly shorten the time needed for accumulating cultivation.
"Naturally, it is true. As a reward for this Battle for Kingship, Four-Star Celestial Pride can cultivate on the fourth floor of the Life and Death Tower for a year, Five-Star Celestial Pride for two years, and Chu Ming, as a titled celestial pride, can cultivate on the fourth floor for three years. Plus, as the first place in this Battle for Kingship, he can cultivate on the fourth floor for a total of four years!"
The white-robed elder stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Hiss!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Chu Ming with envy. Soroch and Ling Yun had ugly expressions, their eyes flashing with a hint of malice.
Five-Star Celestial Pride could only cultivate on the fourth floor for two years, while Chu Ming could cultivate there for four years—twice as much, which naturally made them envious.
The gap between them and Chu Ming was already significant, and in a few years, it would be even greater.
"You don't need to look like that. There are other ways to extend the cultivation time on the fourth floor of the Life and Death Tower. If you work hard enough, it is not impossible to reach the fifth floor!"
Seeing their expressions, the white-robed elder understood their thoughts and consoled them lightly.
Hearing this, everyone felt more balanced. Soroch and Ling Yun secretly resolved to dedicate themselves to cultivation in the Life and Death Tower, not wasting a single moment.
As soon as they landed on the floating palace square, a middle-aged man in a black robe flew out of a palace, solemnly looking at the white-robed elder and Chu Ming and the others.
The presence of the middle-aged man in black robes could only be described with four words: unfathomable depth. Even the white-robed elder was slightly inferior in terms of aura.
"Bai Song, are these the top exceptional talents on the continent?"
The middle-aged man in black robes showed no emotions, but everyone still felt a terrifying pressure, as if he could wipe them out with a single thought.
"Indeed, the best exceptional talents are all here this time!"
Looking at Black God, Bai Song had a slight smile on his face.
"I heard that this time, there is a titled celestial pride? Who is it?"
Black God asked casually.
