215: The tower in the imperial palace

The people inside had absolutely no idea what was happening outside.

They had all found places to stay within the Seven Emperor Passes. After all, the interiors of the Seven Emperor Passes were in a dilapidated state and covered a vast area, making it very simple to find a place to settle down.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, those Cultivators who had obtained an Opportunity were smugly comprehending the Bao technique awarded to them.

When they first caught a glimpse of the essence of their Bao technique, every Cultivator's face was filled with uncontrollable joy and shock.

These Bao techniques were not simple; they were lost Bao techniques from ancient times, and each one possessed formidable power.

Unlike their joy, those Cultivators who had chosen the Immortal Gate could only sit quietly in their chosen resting places, Cultivating for three whole days.

Cultivation requires a calm heart.

But there were always people nearby testing the power of their newly acquired Bao techniques.

Jealousy, regret, and anger—all sorts of emotions were intertwined; it would be a miracle if they could Cultivate in peace!

In these three days, not only had they made no progress, but their cultivation had even begun to regress. This was due to issues with their state of mind, so naturally, their path of Cultivation would not be smooth.

Just as they were about to break down, finally, all of the Seven Emperor Passes flashed with dazzling light.

Dong, dong, dong...

The war drums of the Emperor Pass sounded once again.

This caused all the Cultivators to stand up in surprise and joy.

"Could it be that there is another battle?! This time, I will definitely choose the Emperor Gate and slaughter those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to vent the hatred in my heart!"

"Save it. Can you guarantee that choosing the Emperor Gate this time will be the right move? What if that figure doesn't appear? What if the Emperor Pass loses?"

"Then what do you suggest we do! If you had to choose again, what would you pick?!"

"Wait! It shouldn't be the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals attacking. The soldiers within the Emperor Pass are all guarding their respective gates; there is absolutely no sign of them assembling!"

"Look at that tower!!!"

"..."

Accompanied by the shout of a Cultivator, everyone turned their gaze toward the center of the Emperor Pass. When they first entered the Emperor Pass, they had already seen that tower.

Because the tower's gate was closed, no one had gone to investigate.

Previously, several Cultivators had wanted to climb to the top of the tower to take a look, but as soon as they approached it, endless killing intent erupted from within, shredding the Cultivators into a pool of flesh and blood on the ground.

"Could it be that the tower has opened?!"

Within the Emperor Pass, every Opportunity is different; after all, the living beings within the Emperor Pass are "alive."

Everyone looked up.

They saw that the tower, which pierced straight into the clouds in the distance, was radiating brilliant light, carrying an aura of solemnity and ancient, austere majesty.

At the very top, there seemed to be a living being constantly beating the war drums.

The sound of the war drums echoed throughout the Emperor Pass, making all the Cultivators take notice of this tower.

In the next second, many Cultivators rushed toward the ancient tower. Naturally, they had to get their hands on the Opportunity as soon as possible!

The Righteous Qi Sect's base.

Lin Ye naturally noticed the tower as well.

Ever since entering the Emperor Pass, Lin Miaoxuan had been as well-behaved as a kitten, and even very clingy.

Wherever Lin Ye went, she followed. Usually, she would fall asleep by Lin Ye's side, and when she did, she would always grab onto the corner of Lin Ye's clothing.

By now, she had become a qualified little pendant.

"Senior Brother Saint, should we go over there?"

Hearing the Disciple's question, Lin Ye nodded; naturally, he would not miss out on such an event.

"Everyone, head to the ancient tower!"

"Yes!"

Under Lin Ye's leadership, the Disciples of the Righteous Qi Sect marched toward the ancient tower in a grand procession.

Upon getting closer, they discovered that the ancient tower had undergone a massive transformation; the once dilapidated ancient tower had become magnificent and dreamlike.

This ancient tower towered into the clouds, its body emitting a faint Immortal light, as if it had been carved from the jade of the Immortal Realm.

The tower was surrounded by colorful auspicious clouds, with mist swirling about, dreamlike and illusory.

Compared to the dilapidated state of the Emperor Pass, this ancient tower stood out extremely starkly.

At this moment, the area around the ancient tower was packed with Cultivators. They gazed at the ancient tower with burning eyes; such a strange tower must surely contain an Opportunity inside.

However, because of past lessons, none of the Cultivators dared to approach just yet.

As soon as the Righteous Qi Sect members arrived, some Disciples from smaller factions immediately cleared a path.

They had witnessed Lin Ye's strength with their own eyes, and this person was a demonic Cultivator who killed without blinking. Who would dare to cross him? That would be no different than courting death here in the Lingxu Battlefield.

Dao Yan's gaze toward Lin Ye carried a hint of killing intent.

He still had not forgotten Lin Ye's identity as the descendant of a sinner.

"Pah, what is this? I didn't even curse you, and you dare to glare at my Master Lin again?!"

Cheng Dezhu saw Dao Yan's gaze and spat at him with a look of disdain on his face.

Dao Yan naturally saw this number one "spitter," turned his head, and pretended not to see him; he was afraid that his Dao Heart would become unstable from anger again.

Seeing that Dao Yan did not take the bait, Cheng Dezhu shrugged his shoulders in boredom; it was no fun performing a one-man show.

Boom!!!

Just as everyone was eager to approach the gate of the ancient tower, accompanied by a tremor of the earth, the gate of the ancient tower slowly opened.

A dense wave of Spiritual Qi surged out from within.

This caused the eyes of the Cultivators at the very front to light up.

With such dense Spiritual Qi, there must be some supreme treasure inside!

"Forget it! If I die, I die! If I can obtain the supreme treasure, it will be worth it!"

Swish!

A Cultivator could no longer hold back. Since no one else wanted to test the waters, he would be the first. If there was any Opportunity inside, naturally, he had to be the first to get his hands on it.

He saw the Cultivator turn into a streak of light and enter the ancient tower directly.

The entire ancient tower continued to radiate a brilliant, glazed light without any changes.

There was no scream from that Cultivator.

"No! The Opportunity inside is mine! No one is allowed to snatch it!"

"Bastard, get lost! The Opportunity is mine! Hahahahaha!"

Seeing that the first Cultivator to enter was fine, many Cultivators scrambled to rush toward the entrance of the ancient tower.

Those who entered first naturally had a much better chance of obtaining the items inside.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

As one figure after another entered, many Disciples of the Immortal Dao Lineage also walked into the ancient tower.

Lin Ye was not in a hurry. After most of the others had entered, he led the Disciples of the Righteous Qi Sect toward the ancient tower.

As expected, Lin Miaoxuan stood in place again, her bright, large eyes looking at Lin Ye with a pitiful expression, as if she were thinking about her egg, or perhaps wanting to sleep a little longer by Lin Ye's side.

Just as Lin Ye was about to step into the ancient tower.

A voice transmission from the old veteran of the Emperor Pass sounded in his ear: "The path of death may not lead to death, and the path of life may not lead to life... Invitation letter..."
