560: Nine-layered Heaven Tower, Half-step to the Mysterious Cave

One day.

The destruction of the Gu Family and Blood Cloak Keep sent shockwaves throughout Blood Capital City.

The Gu Family had a Dragon Transformation Realm Peak expert overseeing it, and Blood Cloak Keep had several Divine Court powerhouses guarding it. To think they were still annihilated was bone-chilling.

For a time, the entire Blood Capital City was uncharacteristically quiet.

Many gangs, forces, and cultivators in Blood Capital City became obedient, not daring to cause trouble in Blood Capital City, fearing they would be targeted.

Originally, there were many skirmishes in the City, but now there were none, and even the number of people on the streets had significantly decreased.

Someone spread the news that this matter might be related to the conflict between the Gu Family and Gu Family.

Because of this, the Gu Family's prestige rose again, making the various forces in Blood Capital City even more awestruck.

Seven Nights Snow.

Inside the room.

Xie Weilou stood by the window, looking into the distance, holding a cup of mellow wine.

Snow Consort stood to the side, holding a wine pot. She softly asked, "What are your plans next, Lou Lord?"

Xie Weilou pondered, "Tomorrow, I'll make a trip to Nine Heavens Tower."

Nine Heavens Tower, he definitely had to go. The conflict was already established, so it had to be resolved.

The saying 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river' didn't apply to him. Life and death were trivial; if you weren't convinced, you fought. As long as he could fight, he would go directly and fight.

Upon hearing this, Snow Consort's heart tightened. "Nine Heavens Tower is extremely terrifying. I once heard the old Lou Lord say that the Lou Lord of Nine Heavens Tower has already surpassed Divine Court in cultivation and has taken half a step into that realm! Moreover, he cultivates the Tianxuan Body, and it's suspected he has cultivated it to the eighteenth level!"

The Tianxuan Body of Nine Heavens Tower was extremely profound.

Legend has it that the Lou Lord of Nine Heavens Tower refined eighteen puppets, and the cultivation of each puppet was only slightly weaker than his true body.

"No matter!"

Xie Weilou took a sip of the fine wine.

Snow Consort was silent for a second, then said, "Tomorrow, we will accompany the Lou Lord."

Xie Weilou shook his head. "No need, I can go alone. Since I dare to go, I naturally have some confidence."

Nine Heavens Tower was unfathomable. There was no need for Snow Consort and the others to take risks. If he went alone, even if he encountered any danger, he could decisively retreat.

He had some experience with escaping, from the pursuit of the gray stone embryo to the pursuit of the True Dragon Corpse. Wasn't he able to escape?

Moreover, going to Nine Heavens Tower didn't necessarily mean he had to escape. If it was only taking half a step, he might not be unable to fight!

"......"

Snow Consort hesitated, wanting to speak.

Xie Weilou silently looked into the distance, continuing to savor his wine.

The next day.

Xie Weilou went to Dark City alone.

Dark City was a peculiar City.

There was no sunlight here; the world was gray and dim, suitable for forces of darkness to survive and for those who constantly walked in the shadows to live.

In this Dark City, one could see many demon races, devil races, and numerous vicious cultivators.

"......"

Xie Weilou walked casually on the streets of Dark City, with his hands tucked into his sleeves.

In the center of the City, there were multiple palaces, and in the heart of the palaces, there was a nine-story building as black as ink—the Nine Heavens Tower.

"Nine Heavens Tower."

Xie Weilou looked at the towering pavilion, then continued to walk forward.

"Yo! Where did this human come from? So fair and tender, must taste delicious."

Suddenly, several demon races appeared in front, their faces hideous and ugly, their eyes bloodthirsty as they stared at Xie Weilou.

"Too ugly, die!"

Xie Weilou glanced at these demon races, a blood-red light flashing in his eyes. His divine soul transformed into a sword and shot out.

"Ah......"

A series of shrill screams rang out. These demon races' divine souls were instantly extinguished, and they fell to the ground, completely devoid of life.

Some of the surrounding devil races and cultivators, seeing this, couldn't help but feel their hearts tighten and immediately retreated.

Xie Weilou didn't spare them another glance, walking forward with a composed expression.

Half an incense stick later.

Xie Weilou arrived at the center of the City. Before him were dozens of palaces, and within each palace, there were assassins from Nine Heavens Tower.

The black nine-story building was located in the heart of the palaces, and inside each floor, there was a powerhouse overseeing it.

And at the top of the pavilion, a black-robed man sat cross-legged. He was the Lou Lord of Nine Heavens Tower, Chongming Tower.

Boom!

Just as Xie Weilou approached, several terrifying auras instantly locked onto him.

At the top of the pavilion, Chongming Tower opened his eyes. He slowly stood up, looked in Xie Weilou's direction, and calmly said, "Since you've come, just come over directly."

"......"

Xie Weilou took a step, instantly appearing beneath the nine-story building.

He looked up, a smile appearing on his face. "Each floor of the pavilion has a Divine Court expert overseeing it. Are you trying to make This Xie challenge the tower?"

Chongming Tower shook his head. "There's no need. They are not your opponents. You and I can fight."

Xie Weilou could even slaughter Tian Yi, a Divine Court Peak expert. The rest of Nine Heavens Tower was not worth mentioning in front of him.

Today, the only person present who could fight Xie Weilou was him!

Xie Weilou took a second step, instantly appearing at the top of the pavilion. He looked at Chongming Tower. "How should I address you?"

Chongming Tower said, "The Lou Lord of Nine Heavens Tower, Chongming Tower!"

"You're a formidable character. I heard you've taken half a step?"

Xie Weilou sized up Chongming Tower. The person before him had a restrained aura; he was a terrifying individual.

Chongming Tower stated directly, "Half-step Hole Profound Realm. If I can obtain your ten thousand souls banner and refine the souls within, I might be able to advance further and directly reach the Hole Profound Realm!"

The Hole Profound Realm was a realm after Divine Court. Cultivators in this realm needed to cultivate their body, spirit, and Dao.

Starting from the Hole Profound Realm, it was about cultivating the Dao!

Daoists say that the Three Caves are the origin, sharing the same Dao Qi, and the Dao Qi is one, applied in three divisions.

Hole Profound cultivates the Three Pure Ones and Three Realms, understanding one's true heart, and perceiving the Great Dao. Only by knowing what the Dao is can one knock open the Dao gate and find one's own Great Dao!

"Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."

Xie Weilou shook his head.

Chongming Tower smiled and said, "Originally, I planned to find you, but now that you're here, it's for the best. As long as I suppress you, I can take the ten thousand souls banner, and I don't think I'll be disappointed!"

As if he thought of something, he added, "Since you've come here, you're probably looking for some information from me."

"That's right!"

Xie Weilou nodded.

Chongming Tower said, "If you lose, leave your life and your things; if you win, I can tell you the answer you seek."

Xie Weilou said calmly, "I prefer to search souls and find the answer myself."

"Interesting! Then we'll have to see what you're capable of."

Chongming Tower's eyes sharpened. His figure moved, instantly appearing before Xie Weilou, and he threw a punch.

Boom!

The fist print exploded, causing the pavilion to shake and the sky to tremble, its might extremely terrifying.

"......"

Xie Weilou showed no fear, immediately swung his fist, and met the punch...
