75: You are so good, Gu Liangyuan with thick eyebrows and big eyes!

It was clear that Jun Ao Zhi’s escape plan had failed.

His last trump card had been completely used up.

This made him feel utterly disheartened.

On the way up the mountain with Gu Liangyuan, he looked dispirited.

“Sigh, Little Red, I miss you so much…”

Gu Liangyuan, who was ahead, frowned upon hearing Jun Ao Zhi’s words.

He used his Detection Skill and found that Jun Ao Zhi’s Infatuation Value had increased by ten points in just two days.

It seemed he would have to increase the dosage next time.

After returning to the main hall and settling Jun Ao Zhi, Gu Liangyuan’s figure flickered, and he appeared at the mountain peak.

Looking at the clear space that had long been prepared, Gu Liangyuan formed hand seals, and a pitch-black small tower floated above his head.

With a flick of his finger, the small tower moved according to Gu Liangyuan’s fingertip, taking root where it landed!

The moment the small tower landed, endless Earth Vein Qi poured into the Enlightenment Tower.

Under the enhancement of the Earth Vein Qi, the Enlightenment Tower rose steadily.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a nine-story pagoda three li in circumference, its exterior ancient and showing no unusual features.

Looking at the entrance on the first floor, Gu Liangyuan stepped forward and entered the pagoda.

Upon entering the pagoda, the scenery before Gu Liangyuan’s eyes instantly changed.

His Divine Sense swept out, discovering that this place formed a Small World of its own.

Even with Gu Liangyuan’s current Divine Sense range of five hundred li, he couldn’t find its boundaries.

Secondly, the Dao rhyme within the tower seemed much denser than outside.

As Gu Liangyuan stood there, he subtly felt a sense of Epiphany.

Just as he was about to examine it closely, a black-robed Elder’s phantom appeared before Gu Liangyuan.

“Enlightenment, greets Master.”

Gu Liangyuan understood instinctively; this person was the Artifact Spirit of the Enlightenment Tower.

As expected of a System product, this Enlightenment Tower’s Artifact Spirit was clearly much more intelligent than that Xiao Dang, though still somewhat programmatic, differing from a living person.

“Tell me, what are your functions?”

“Yes.”

After bowing, the Artifact Spirit replied:

“The Enlightenment Tower has nine floors, corresponding to the nine Cultivation Realms. Each floor has three sections: Illusion Realm Heart Tempering, Simulated Combat, and Disciple Duels. It is suitable for Disciples to hone their Divine Abilities.”

“Rankings will be given based on comprehensive performance, and different rewards will be granted according to the ranking.”

“Each floor has an Enlightenment Stele suitable for the current Realm. Those with excellent performance will receive the Opportunity to observe the Enlightenment Stele and comprehend Divine Abilities under the enhancement of Dao rhyme.”

“As the levels increase, while the Dao rhyme becomes denser, the flow of time will also differ. The first floor is the same as the outside world, the second floor is 1.5 times, the third floor is 2.0 times, and so on, increasing by 0.5 times per floor. By the ninth floor, one day outside will be four days inside.”

Gu Liangyuan rubbed his chin after hearing the introduction:

“Does that mean that if I stay inside for one day, my Lifespan will also decrease by four days?”

The Artifact Spirit nodded:

“That is correct, Master.”

Gu Liangyuan nodded, indicating he understood.

This time-flow function was suitable for Disciples with poor Aptitude, to catch up with Cultivators of the same level.

For Prodigies like Qianqiu, with Heaven-Defying Luck and Heaven-Defying Aptitude, it was only suitable for occasional closed-door cultivation to save time.

Their cultivation speed outside would certainly be faster than simply cultivating diligently.

The reason was simple: outside, they could obtain many Opportunities, which were accelerators for cultivation.

After understanding all the functions of the Enlightenment Tower, Gu Liangyuan immediately summoned Song Rentou and asked him to take the Elders to try it out.

With Gu Liangyuan’s intentional concealment by the System, they did not realize that this Enlightenment Tower was an Immortal Artifact.

Gu Liangyuan felt that Forget-Love Peak had gained enough attention for now and needed to be appropriately low-key.

The Elders only thought this was a former heritage of Forget-Love Peak, secretly thinking Gu Liangyuan had hidden it deeply, and even when he was so infatuated with Meng Yao, not a single word leaked out.

Two days later, the Elders emerged, looking very satisfied.

Judging by their expressions, they all had significant gains.

Especially Song Rentou and Elder Wang, both of their cultivations had reached Nascent Soul Ninth Layer, just one step away from Soul Transformation.

As the saying goes, without rules, there is no order.

After thanking Gu Liangyuan, everyone gathered to deliberate and began to formulate standards for Inner Sect Disciples to use the Enlightenment Tower.

Such as what kind of merits or requirements would allow one to use it once.

Gu Liangyuan did not participate in these matters, entrusting them entirely to Song Rentou.

There are no secrets under the sun, and news of the Enlightenment Tower quickly reached the ears of the other six peaks.

The attitude of the Inner Sect Disciples towards this was naturally envy, jealousy, and hatred.

They hated that their own peaks didn’t have such a place.

The Supreme Sacred Ground did have a few Secret Realms under its name, but those were public property of the Holy Land, jointly owned by the seven peaks.

To get a chance to enter, every time they had to fight tooth and nail; it was nowhere near as convenient as having one’s own.

When the Outer Sect Disciples received the news, while lamenting the increasing prosperity of Forget-Love Peak, they also resolved to choose Forget-Love Peak as their first choice when advancing to Inner Sect.

The Lords of the other six peaks, upon receiving this news, had varying reactions, but all felt a bit hurt.

You, Gu Liangyuan, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes!

You’re even a Junior Martial Uncle, yet you deceive our feelings like this!

Gu Liangyuan’s face, when he cried poverty to them, seemed like it was just yesterday.

You said Forget-Love Peak was very poor, didn’t you?

First the double dragon jade carriage, now the Enlightenment Tower.

I want you to do well, but I didn’t want you to do better than us!

Wuji Peak, within Limitless Hall.

Lü Qingmei looked towards Forget-Love Peak. Although Wuji Peak and Forget-Love Peak were nearly a hundred li apart, her gaze could cross the cloud sea and see the Enlightenment Tower on Forget-Love Peak.

Looking at the nine-story pagoda, ancient in design yet exuding Dao rhyme, she admitted she was a little envious.

“This Enlightenment Tower isn’t even recorded in the Holy Land’s history. Forget-Love Peak hides things quite deeply!”

As her words fell, an old woman appeared out of thin air before Lü Qingmei.

This person was none other than Sun Elder, who had previously helped Gu Liangyuan kill Ye Fan.

Sun Elder spoke calmly:

“After all, the former Forget-Love Peak was the main lineage; it’s normal to have some hidden treasures.”

Lü Qingmei looked at the newcomer, her face showing pleasant surprise:

“Sun Junior Martial Uncle, you’ve broken through to Mahayana?”

Sun Elder also smiled knowingly:

“Speaking of which, I have to thank Junior Brother Gu Liang. He helped this old woman resolve a long-standing heart knot, which allowed for this Breakthrough.”

Lü Qingmei smiled sweetly: “Adding Sun Junior Martial Uncle, our Wuji Peak now has three Mahayana-level Grand Elders.”

Sun Elder first nodded, then her gaze fell upon Lü Qingmei:

“If you had focused on cultivation, your current cultivation, if not surpassing mine, would be close.”

“Master Wan Yan and the others are limited by Aptitude, so they chose to manage the seven peaks as a secondary option.”

“But you, as Wuji’s most outstanding Disciple, insisted on becoming the sect Master.”

“You wouldn’t listen when I advised you back then. Now you know, don’t you? Entangled in trivia, it becomes difficult for your cultivation to progress further.”

Lü Qingmei shook her head with a smile:

“From the moment Master died, I lived for revenge. Even becoming an Immortal or an Ancestor wouldn’t be as satisfying as seeing that force destroyed.”

Sun Elder sighed faintly: “Alas, you’ve always been strong-willed since childhood, so I won’t advise you anymore.”

“Let’s see if Junior Brother Gu Liang can successfully achieve Soul Transformation. If he can break the curse, with his Aptitude, he will certainly be able to lead the Supreme Sacred Ground back to Central Continent.”

“And that Jun Family will also be of some help to us.”

“If not, I think it will be difficult within these three thousand years.”

Lü Qingmei thought of Gu Liangyuan’s Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir and murmured to herself:

“I believe him.”
