176: Tower of Babel

"Brother Shen, thank you!"

Chu He sincerely expressed his gratitude to Shen Xi.

He knew that Shen Xi had spared the lives of the two men to give him a chance to personally exact revenge.

He also knew that if Shen Xi hadn't arrived in time, even if he had comprehended Saber Intent, he would have died at the hands of those two due to exhaustion.

"Between brothers, let's not talk about this. If you ever need help with anything, just say the word."

Shen Xi didn't press Chu He about his past.

Although he had a rough guess from the conversation between Chu He and the two fops.

But this was Chu He's business after all, and if Chu He didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't ask.

In fact, Shen Xi deeply understood Chu He's thoughts.

Revenge for the annihilation of his family; it was perfectly normal for him to want to personally exact it.

Even if he could borrow strength, that feeling would be completely different, so Chu He probably wouldn't easily ask for help.

Of course, even if Chu He didn't ask, Shen Xi wouldn't stand by idly. At the very least, he would protect Chu He and not let him be in danger.

"If I need to, I will."

Chu He looked at Shen Xi seriously, enunciating each word.

Just as Shen Xi had guessed, Chu He wanted to personally exact his revenge.

However, he also made it clear that if he couldn't get his revenge, he would seek Shen Xi's help.

"That's good. We should continue on our way."

Shen Xi said with a smile.

"On our way?"

Chu He was a little confused.

"Fatty and the others haven't been found yet. Did you see any trace of them in the Third Zone?"

"No, they shouldn't be here."

Chu He answered with certainty.

He had been pursued for so long that, while he hadn't traversed every corner of the Third Zone, he had passed through most of it.

But he hadn't seen any sign of Fatty and the others, which meant they weren't in the Third Zone.

"Understood."

Shen Xi nodded.

Then, he pulled out a sound transmission flower.

"Brothers, I've found Chu He. There are no other traces of people in the Third Zone. I'm heading to the Sixth Zone to check."

Through the sound transmission flower, the message quickly reached Chen Fang and the other two.

"Wow, Xi Zi, your efficiency is too high, isn't it? Heaven is so unfair! Why is your Cultivate speed faster than ours, and your search efficiency also faster than ours!"

"Agreed!"

"I agree too."

The three men's teasing voices came from the sound transmission flower.

"Cough cough, just good luck."

Shen Xi coughed awkwardly, then put away the sound transmission flower.

After thinking for a moment, he handed another sound transmission flower to Chu He.

"This is a sound transmission flower; it can transmit messages in the Chasing Wind Secret Realm."

After a brief introduction to the function of the sound transmission flower, they didn't linger and headed towards the Sixth Zone.

The next few days were spent entirely searching for people.

With the blessing of Qi, Shen Xi's efficiency was the highest, able to search four or five zones in a day. Coupled with the efforts of Liu Yiyi and the others, all their companions were finally found on the third day.

Everyone reunited, looking at each other with a sense of emotion.

"We've finally reunited; otherwise, we would always feel uneasy."

"No one expected the strength of the Regional Barrier to be so high this time. Otherwise, with your strength and the methods we prepared initially, opening a passage would definitely not have been a problem."

"But the final outcome is good; everyone is safe and sound, which is the best result."

"Fatty, you've Breakthrough to the Houtian Chucheng Realm?"

"Liu Linsheng, how did you directly Breakthrough to the Minor Completion of Houtian Realm!"

"The Chasing Wind Secret Realm truly lives up to its name as a Treasure Trove; everyone's strength has seen a qualitative improvement."

The group talked incessantly, all amazed at the speed of each other's strength Breakthrough.

Outside, they might not have been able to Breakthrough a Minor Achievement Realm in a year or even half a year, even with various resources piled up.

But in just a few days since entering the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, everyone had more or less Breakthrough one or two Minor Achievement Realms, and their combat power had increased significantly.

The gains were truly immense.

"Counting the time, we've been in the Chasing Wind Secret Realm for five days already. In two more days, the Tower of the Heavens will open, and we need to prepare in advance."

Chen Fang suddenly spoke.

Hearing about the Tower of the Heavens, everyone's expressions immediately became solemn.

The Tower of the Heavens is one of the three great Secret Realms on the first level, and it is also the first great Opportunity that Martial Artists entering the Chasing Wind Secret Realm can obtain.

The Tower of the Heavens, as the name suggests, is a tower with nine floors in total.

What Martial Artists need to do is to start from the first floor and clear levels upwards.

The higher the floor of the tower, the stronger the enemies encountered.

It is said that the Tower of the Heavens is also a place that can test a Martial Artist's potential.

Those who can pass three floors are Geniuses chosen from hundreds, at least capable of becoming a Xiantian Realm expert.

If one passes five floors, there is hope of Breakthrough to the Dian Ling Realm.

Seven floors, Zhu Tai Realm.

Eight floors, Detachment Realm.

And if one can clear all nine floors, it means the Martial Artist's potential is comparable to that of the founder of Zhu Feng City.

Because of this, whenever the Chasing Wind Secret Realm reopens, the major powers will inquire about the Martial Artists' achievements in the Tower of the Heavens.

If they encounter high-achieving Loose Cultivator Martial Artists without a background, they will directly extend an olive branch to recruit them.

For many Loose Cultivator Martial Artists, this is an Opportunity to shine and join a major power.

And the Opportunity of the Tower of the Heavens is not limited to this.

Most importantly, for each floor passed, a corresponding reward can be obtained.

Perhaps it's a fragment of an expert's insights, perhaps some Heaven And Earth Treasure, or even a killing move.

Whichever it is, it is an immense fortune for Martial Artists.

After all, nothing that appears in the Chasing Wind Secret Realm is ever of poor quality.

Whether it's to join a major power, or to gain even stronger support from a major power, or for the Opportunity itself, Martial Artists will not miss the Tower of the Heavens. They will do their best to achieve a good ranking in the Tower of the Heavens.

"Head to the First Zone!"

Shen Xi immediately said.

The Tower of the Heavens only opens for three days, and there are at least tens of thousands of Martial Artists who have entered the Chasing Wind Secret Realm.

Tens of thousands of people all wanting to enter the Tower of the Heavens will obviously lead to conflict.

In this situation, the earlier one enters, the better. No one wants to be left behind; if time runs out and they haven't entered, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

It's imaginable that even just vying for the order of entry into the Tower of the Heavens will spark a fierce Dragon-Tiger Battle.

Even though Shen Xi's group plans to head to the Tower of the Heavens two days in advance, it will surely be packed with people by then.

Anyone with the ability to reach the First Zone, whether by breaking through the Regional Barrier with their own combat power or by hitching a ride, will not miss this Opportunity.
