44: Chapter 44: The Second Floor of the Star Tower, Luo Xingchen

Chapter 44: Star Tower Second Floor, Luo Xingchen

He couldn't sense the slightest presence of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in his dantian was like a lake in a desert, diminishing with every use. Even for recovery, he could only rely on spiritual pills and spiritual stones.

What made him even more speechless was that this space was empty, devoid of anything, like a infinitely magnified dark room.

He couldn't even sense the passage to the third floor.

"System, this thing wouldn't just have two floors, would it?"

He asked, full of doubt. His goal was the top floor, but he truly didn't know how many floors there were.

"How could it be that easy? The Star Tower has nine floors. Except for the ninth and first floors, the second to eighth floors are almost identical. They contain Star Power of varying concentrations, which is what the people of Eternal Continent call Immortal Path Power."

"To enter the next floor, you must sense the Star Power of the current floor. Only by doing so will you be able to directly communicate with the most fundamental Star Power in the starry sky when you reach the very top floor."

My goodness, it's that grand!

Lin Yu was somewhat shocked upon hearing this.

He was only at the peak of the Fusion Realm, just wanting to condense a Golden Core, yet Immortal Path Power had directly appeared.

This was clearly not on the same level!

"Hehehe... Host, under normal circumstances, this is indeed not something you can comprehend. This is meant for Heavens Chosen with specific opportunities to comprehend. You merely got to experience the Heavens Chosen's opportunity one step ahead."

"However, although you don't have a specific opportunity, you have cultivation points."

Alright, no wonder he couldn't sense anything, only emptiness.

So, this thing wasn't meant for him to sense at all.

Wait, that's not right!

He suddenly realized something.

In the original book, it seemed Ye Xuan, the Heavens Chosen, didn't obtain the Star Tower's opportunity either. So why was it said to be left for Heavens Chosen to sense?

Could it be that there's already a new Heavens Chosen?

But Ye Xuan shouldn't be dead yet, right?

"Hehe, Host, your senses are still sharp. Ye Xuan is indeed not dead, but you've already messed him up pretty badly. The Heavenly Dao has naturally begun paving the way for the next Heavens Chosen."

Soon, the system's explanation came to his mind.

"Holy crap, this can even be seamlessly connected!"

Lin Yu couldn't help but blurt out a complaint.

However, while complaining, he was also delighted. The first Heavens Chosen wasn't even dead yet, and he had already intercepted the opportunity of the second one. Just thinking about it felt great.

Moreover, he still had 450,000 cultivation points, so he could completely cheat when sensing this Star Power.

Thinking of this, his lips involuntarily curled upward slightly.

After exiting the tower this time, he would have to find a way to locate Ye Xuan and thoroughly kill him, to see who the next Heavens Chosen would be.

A hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

He then directly sat cross-legged on the spot, using his cultivation points to comprehend and sense the Star Power here.

After the system's introduction, he already understood the function of the Star Tower.

However, to be able to divide Star Power into different concentration levels and place them in each tower floor, increasing incrementally, such control ability could perhaps only be achieved by the legendary Immortals.

No wonder the system said before that destroying the Seal Power would attract the prying eyes of an Immortal King Artifact. It indeed had a logical basis.

......

Within a valley at the border of Fengling Province and Yun Province in Tianmu Prefecture.

Dusk had already fallen.

Thousands of young men and women had set up camp in the valley.

Among them were dozens of elders interspersed.

They were none other than Yue Lingxi and her group, who had returned from recruiting disciples in Yun Province.

The newly recruited disciples had low cultivation, and some were even very young with no cultivation, unable to travel at night. They could only set up camp and rest in the evening, waiting to depart the next day.

This was also the reason for the slow back-and-forth journey.

At this moment, inside a tent, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was sitting cross-legged, breathing in spiritual energy to cultivate.

Although the spiritual energy here was sparse and didn't have much effect, this had already become his habit. He would cultivate tirelessly day and night whenever he had free time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be where he was today.

The jade pendant his mother left him before she left had completely absorbed three years' worth of his hard-earned spiritual energy.

If it weren't for his persistence, he might still be begging in some forgotten corner right now.

Outside the tent, there was a hubbub of voices, laughter and joy.

Inside the tent, however, it was exceptionally quiet. He was already used to this.

In the past, no one thought highly of him, so he had no friends. Now, his cultivation was too strong, and he was exceptionally cold, so no one dared to approach him. Three years of solitude had made him a person accustomed to loneliness.

His only spiritual pillar was to cultivate into a supreme expert and find his missing mother.

She was the only person in his family who had ever made him feel warmth.

He was the young man who had finally intercepted the Piao Miao Sect's disciple recruitment team—Luo Xingchen.

However, at this very moment.

In the void less than half a meter in front of him, a spatial passage suddenly opened without any warning.

From within, a pearl emitting purple lightning rushed out.

And the jade pendant on his chest also automatically floated in the air at this moment, emitting a faint light.

Hmm~~

The unusual movement of the jade pendant instantly caught Luo Xingchen's attention.

He immediately opened his eyes to investigate.

Upon seeing a pearl suddenly appear before him, he instinctively adopted a defensive posture.

However, that pearl did not make any moves to harm him. Instead, it intertwined with the jade pendant in the void.

Like a pair of friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.

"nine heavens thunder pearl!"

After observing for a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly whispered the spiritual pearl's name.

There was also a hint of surprise in his voice.

A smile even appeared on his usually ice-cold face.

This jade pendant had already been activated after absorbing his spiritual energy for three years.

The jade pendant was called 'space-time boundary marker,' a part of an Immortal King Artifact, and it contained a space that could control the flow of time.

Most importantly, it also had ample spiritual energy, making it an excellent place for cultivation.

However, this space required a key to open it, and this key was the 'nine heavens thunder pearl.'

This was the information he had learned from the 'space-time boundary marker.'

And just now, seeing the appearance of this pearl and its intimate interaction with the jade pendant, he made this deduction.

This was also the reason for his excitement.

As long as he could open this space, he could enter it to cultivate at any time.

That was a space where the flow of time could be adjusted. While others cultivated for a year in the outside world, he could even cultivate for ten, a hundred, or even more years inside.

Just thinking about it was terrifying.

This would be his most heaven-defying opportunity.

"Wait... that's not right!"

However, just as he was excited, he suddenly noticed something was amiss.
