Chapter 782: Assault on the Heavenly Principle Tower_2
When the time comes...after he learns about the situation in the Immortal Origin Holy Land...
Or perhaps, when he becomes more powerful and has enough backing, he will take his revenge personally!
"Let's go in!"
After that, Lin Yun spoke.
"We're going in!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Subsequently, they each flashed through the grand entrance of the Heavenly Principle Tower.
In the end, only Lin Yun was left of the group.
Lin Yun looked up, gazing into the distance.
There, a middle-aged man stood tall with a slight smile upon seeing Lin Yun's gaze. He sent a message telepathically, "You go ahead, don't worry about me. That Meteor Ancestor from the Firestone Family probably won't dare to come over. As for the other powerhouses of the Firestone Family...
Wei Firestone is dead, Ao Firestone is seriously injured, and since you've given the God Devouring Knife to me, they can't do much to me!"
This person was Modan.
After Lin Yun and his party entered the Heavenly Principle Tower, only Modan was left behind.
Lin Yun had always been worried that the top fighters from the Firestone Family might return, or worse, that the Meteor Ancestor himself might take action.
In that case, Modan being left alone would be very dangerous.
"Alright, I'll ask Senior Can to come back later to stay in the vicinity. I've already sent you the contact method for him earlier. If you're in danger, you can have Senior Can come to your aid!"
Lin Yun nodded and replied.
Whoosh!
As soon as the words were out, Lin Yun hesitated no longer and turned, flashing towards the grand entrance of the Heavenly Principle Tower.
"Pop!"
In an instant, as if something burst open, Lin Yun's vision flashed, and he had already entered a new world. In this world, there were no other competitors, only himself.
Everything was a vast expanse of white at a distance, nearby, before his eyes, and under his feet.
Lin Yun seemed to be engulfed in a sea of clouds.
"Swoosh! Swoosh..."
Suddenly, several white streaks shot out of the sea of clouds, aiming swiftly towards Lin Yun, the white streaks radiating a murderous intent.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and the Bloodthirsty Sword appeared in his hand. In the next moment, he slashed at the white streaks.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
One after another, the white streaks were cut, and Lin Yun could now see clearly that these white streaks were actually figures composed of white Cloud Mist, complete with noses and eyes, and very nimble.
After Lin Yun killed them, these figures made of Cloud Mist burst instantly, turning back into a mist of white and dispersing within the sea of clouds.
"Is this...the method of traversing the Heavenly Principle Tower?"
Lin Yun murmured softly.
Before he entered the Heavenly Principle Tower, he had asked Modan about how exactly one was supposed to traverse it. However, Modan did not give him a definite answer, only mentioning that it varies greatly, and explained that it was for the best not to inform him about some pieces of information.
Because while many who attempted the tower had similar experiences, those who followed the experiences of others didn't achieve good results in the end.
Once it happened, twice it happened, and people came to the conclusion that the methods of traversing the tower were not fixed, and even the results seemed to be calculated through some special algorithm.
Perhaps, some hidden methods of scoring were unknown to all.
The Heavenly Principle Tower has stood in this universe for hundreds of millions of years without being conquered, and this belief becomes increasingly affirmed by many.
Thus, previous experiences in traversing the tower were deemed better not to be shared with future challengers, a view widely recognized by all.
Otherwise, one could miss the forest for the trees, as knowing too much about past experiences might lead one to overlook hidden trials, missing out on great opportunities, or even achieving poor results, which would be a terrible loss.
Therefore, Lin Yun was also unclear if this was the method to traverse the Heavenly Principle Tower, and could only follow his instinct.
If these Cloud Mist People came to kill him, then he would just have to kill them in return.
Lin Yun continued to walk forward.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
More Cloud Mist People appeared, attacking Lin Yun with greater numbers and faster speed.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Lin Yun wielded his sword, slaying them one by one.
So it went, with Lin Yun cutting down his foes as he continued forward.
"Hm? It really is..."
Soon, Lin Yun's expression turned to one of surprise and uncertainty.
He discovered that as he killed these Cloud Mist People, it seemed as though something was flowing into his body. This thing accelerated the speed at which he comprehended matters—the Heavenly Principle Tower indeed had the ability to quicken the pace of cultivation!
"But if this is the only difference, it doesn't count for much, it just saves some time..." Lin Yun silently thought.
"However, this is only the first floor of the Heavenly Principle Tower. It is said that there are a total of one hundred and eight floors. I wonder what effects the higher floors hold, and to what extent!" After a pause, Lin Yun continued to ponder.
"Kill!"
While Lin Yun was contemplating these thoughts, even stronger White Mist People began to attack him again. With a cold shout, Lin Yun swung his sword, and once more, he slew the White Mist People.
"These White Mist People possess strength roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary Level Twelve Peak Cultivator. They must vary according to the realm of those attempting the tower; otherwise, how could those who have only reached the early to mid-stages of Level Twelve even progress to higher levels?
They would likely be repelled on the first floor!" As he was fighting off these White Mist People, Lin Yun made his estimations.
"What a pity..." Lin Yun shook his head.
Now, not only was he at the Half Step Super Realm, but his overall strength could even contend with those in the third level of the Super Realm. How could these mere White Mist People be his opponents?
At first, Lin Yun could kill them one by one, observing to see if these White Mist People would undergo any changes.
Gradually, Lin Yun began to slay two or three at a time, then three or four, four or five, and then up to a dozen...
At last, as many White Mist People as appeared, Lin Yun would strike down with a single swordstroke!
Lin Yun strode forward briskly!
Finally, when Lin Yun reached a certain place, the Cloud Mist in front of him suddenly churned, revealing a new space.
"Is this... the entrance to the second floor?" Lin Yun's eyes brightened as he murmured.
He had heard from Modan that each person's method of tackling the Heavenly Principle Tower was different. The entrance to the second floor didn't have a fixed location; when the Heavenly Principle Tower deemed you met the criteria, it would open up the entrance to the second level.
"This really is... miraculous..."
Lin Yun whispered in awe.
Whoosh!
In the midst of speaking, Lin Yun stepped forward and instantly flashed into the new space.
"Hmm?"
A new world appeared before his eyes, startling Lin Yun.
He saw that this world was still a sea of clouds, almost no different from the previous world he'd been in.
"Well then, let's conquer it again!"
Lin Yun nodded slightly.
At the same time, he also felt a sense of relief because Modan had said that since everyone's method of conquering the tower was different, following the methods of predecessors might not yield good results and could lead to oversight of other aspects.
Therefore, Modan didn't specify the details of other people's methods to Lin Yun, and Lin Yun himself was not clear about the exact time it took for others to conquer the tower.
However, at this moment, Lin Yun had a vague estimation: the stronger the individual, the quicker the tower conquest would be.
Just like how he swiftly cut down the White Mist People, he had entered the second floor so quickly.
This was good news.
He was worried that if he lingered here for too long, Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, and the Lianshan group would all leave before he did, putting them in danger.
If he guessed correctly, he would be able to quickly advance to a very high level and leave early, possibly even before Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, and the others did.
"To quickly reach the higher levels, if indeed it turns out impossible to get any higher, then so be it..." Lin Yun secretly resolved.
To conquer the top floor... and master the Heavenly Principle Tower— he had no confidence in that.
Now, he felt that his talent, having been replenished by the Little Blood-Red Tower, no longer necessitated the Heavenly Principle Liquid from the top floor of the tower.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Indeed, new White Mist People appeared one after another, no different from those Lin Yun had encountered before. If there was any difference, it would have to be in their strength.
"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"
Lin Yun brandished the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand, slaying the White Mist People.
He also assessed the strength of these White Mist People.
"These White Mist People have almost reached the limit of strength for ordinary Level Twelve Peak Cultivators..."
A hint of astonishment flickered within Lin Yun's heart.
