97: Chapter 97 Time's Up
"Over the past year or so, we have continuously dispatched personnel to explore, and we have basically locked onto some things now!"
Xiao Li said excitedly: "The Spiritual Qi revival is definitely related to this Tower of Heaven, and this Tower of Heaven is absolutely not something built by Earth civilization."
"Combined with some historical traces, we have basically concluded that in the distant past, Earth civilization was once developed, a powerful martial arts civilization existed, and there was even extraterrestrial civilization participation. As for this point, that silver flying saucer is evidence."
Ji Yebai was surprised.
He really did not expect Xiao Li to say such things.
"Mr. Ji, there is considerable danger inside the Tower of Heaven, and some places can only be passed by powerful Martial Artists. Therefore, the whole world has jointly issued some quotas to each country, only allowing top Martial Artists to go. This matter is extremely confidential; this is a major event that is likely to change history."
Speaking of this, Xiao Li said with a sincere face: "Mr. Ji, the Republic only has fifty quotas, and our director was allocated one, so he recommended you to go!"
Martial arts civilization, extraterrestrial civilization, Tower of Heaven!?
Ji Yebai still felt some surprise in his heart.
Even though he already had some guesses, he still could not help but be surprised when hearing this news now.
The Human Race Martial Artist and the non-human skeleton creature before the underground silver spaceship had already prepared him.
He just did not expect that a Tower of Heaven had been preserved.
According to Xiao Li's meaning, this Tower of Heaven might just be an object directly related to the Spiritual Qi revival.
How could this not surprise him?
In his previous life, he had not heard a shred of news about it; it was clearly limited to a certain specific level.
Ji Yebai was surprised internally, but his expression remained as usual.
In just an instant, he decided to go and take a look.
"Stonehenge, Tower of Heaven... is it the Stonehenge I know!?"
Ji Yebai asked.
Xiao Li nodded with a smile: "Mr. Ji, it is indeed that cultural relic Stonehenge. After scientists studied it in the past, they felt that Stonehenge was built four thousand years ago."
"But now this speculation has been overturned. The interior of that Stonehenge contains a special space, and it is full of Spiritual Qi. It is also this Spiritual Qi that has maintained the time traces on the surface of Stonehenge, making scientific measurements inaccurate."
"Now the measurement method has been corrected, and it is basically confirmed that this Stonehenge was built one hundred thousand years ago!"
"Moreover, this Stonehenge is definitely related to extraterrestrial civilization!"
Ji Yebai was astonished.
One hundred thousand years ago.
This was truly a shocking time.
"Mr. Ji, do you see if you want to participate!? If you go, I will arrange for you to go now. The middle of the month is when Stonehenge changes and the time to open the gate to the Tower of Heaven arrives."
Xiao Li looked at Ji Yebai expectantly.
Ji Yebai nodded: "Go, I must go! I must go to such an interesting thing!"
Xiao Li's expression was excited, and he relaxed: "Mr. Ji, there is great danger inside the Tower of Heaven, you must be careful. In addition, if you can find some materials related to prehistoric civilization, I also hope you can bring them out."
Ji Yebai smiled and nodded.
Next, Xiao Li was non-stop.
He directly took Ji Yebai straight to a secret military airport.
Not long after, an airplane took off at high speed.
Ji Yebai was on board.
At this moment, he was looking at the materials Xiao Li left behind with great interest.
This document recorded detailed information about the Tower of Heaven.
According to the inferences in this document, the Tower of Heaven was built by an alien civilization and is the source that triggered the Spiritual Qi revival.
On the night of the full moon, activating Stonehenge will open a light gate, and rushing into it will lead to another space.
According to some research, this space uses some kind of unknown technology, an expanded or even folded space.
The interior of that space is shaped like a tall tower, and each level is filled with some unpredictable dangers.
Not long after the Spiritual Qi revival, researchers from various countries locked onto this Tower of Heaven and dispatched the elite soldier kings of that time.
But it was a pity.
Even these soldier kings could not penetrate deep into it.
The interior of that space was fraught with danger, with many dangers beyond people's cognition scattered throughout, making it difficult for people to take a step.
And because of this.
Only until now have various countries begun to explore again.
Because by now, First-Class Martial Artists have begun to display various miraculous abilities, and there is even Bai Zhu, this Innate expert.
Judging from some existing traces, the prehistoric martial arts civilization had many Innate-level experts.
And this Tower of Heaven is something left behind from that time; it might have great secrets.
Time passed quickly.
And the fighter jet's speed was even faster.
Not long after.
The fighter jet began to descend.
Ji Yebai discovered that this was actually a brand-new airport.
It was obviously built by various countries in the last year.
At this time, airplanes of various types were parked at the airport, including fighter jets, helicopters, and even passenger planes.
Ji Yebai walked off the plane and looked into the distance.
It was evening at this time.
The golden sunset cast its afterglow, and the colorful clouds on the horizon stretched with the wind.
On the wilderness filled with golden radiance, Stonehenge stood towering.
The ancient megaliths were six or seven meters high, and it looked like every megalith was quite heavy.
At this time, some people were around Stonehenge, the huge megaliths reflecting the insignificance of human bodies.
The whole Stonehenge looked very ancient and simple, but whoever knew its actual situation would feel a chill in their heart, a heavy feeling pressing on their hearts.
This was the trace of a prehistoric civilization; this was the manuscript of an extraterrestrial civilization.
Ji Yebai appreciated this different scenery.
If one did not know about the existence of the Tower of Heaven, just looking at this Stonehenge would only make people marvel at the great works of ancient, primitive humans.
After a moment.
A person wearing camouflage uniform walked up, a reception staff member from China.
"Hello Mr. Ji, the Security Bureau has already informed us of your arrival, but please understand, you need to present your pass!"
The person was very polite, but none of the required procedures were missing.
Ji Yebai nodded and handed over the pass Xiao Li had given him.
"Mr. Ji, thank you for your cooperation, please come with me!"
The person politely saluted.
Ji Yebai followed the man away.
The man in camouflage did not look very old, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
However, his martial arts cultivation was already that of a Second-rate Martial Artist.
Although he was not yet a Peak Second-rate Martial Artist, his Late Stage cultivation still could not be underestimated.
In this life, because of Ji Yebai's interference, no Xiantian Martial Artist had appeared yet.
One must know that this was already nearing the third year of the Spiritual Qi revival. In the previous life, at this time, Bai Zhu had already used the five elements spirit beads to create one Xiantian, Daoist Taixu, and Daoist Qingwei of Wudang Mountain was also basically about to step into the Innate realm.
And that Buddhism, influenced by Daoism, had unified rapidly, using the power of the entire sect, and had already begun to create Xiantian Martial Artists.
Even the country had begun to cultivate Xiantian Martial Artists.
But in this life, because of Ji Yebai, Daoist Taixu did not become a Xiantian, that Buddhism did not feel a huge crisis and form a unity, and the country was even more constrained by the international situation and did not actively initiate the cultivation of Xiantian Martial Artists.
It could be called the butterfly effect.
But even so, the base of lower-level Martial Artists was even larger.
More people had become Martial Artists, and more Martial Artists had stepped into the Second-rate Martial Artist realm.
All of this was created by the Longevity Fist that was born early, and it had a causal reason related to Ji Yebai.
With a huge base, it was only a matter of time before high-level Martial Artists appeared.
"Mr. Ji, this is your lounge. Three days later is the night of the full moon, which is the time for you to enter. Please rest here first!"
The officer in camouflage led Ji Yebai to this lounge and then left.
The night of the full moon is the time to open the Tower of Heaven, and according to the agreement, next month is the last time the Tower of Heaven will be opened. If the agreed time is missed, the quota will be automatically lost.
The opening of the Tower of Heaven requires massive resources.
Time passed quickly.
The material conditions in this lounge were very good, and there was everything to eat.
Ji Yebai spent three days burying his head in eating.
Finally.
On this day, the night of the full moon arrived.
That officer knocked on Ji Yebai's door again.
