Chapter 4069 54-story Tower

Latest website: After Lord Jie sat down, he filled a cup and took a sip happily, his eyes narrowed into slits.

"She didn't come back. She had more important things to do."

Zhang Ruochen sat calmly opposite Lord Jie.

Lord Jie said: "Where is the ancestor Jin Ni? It hasn't come back either?"

Zhang Ruochen nodded.

Lord Jie was very vigilant. He was sure that Zhang Ruochen's Tai Chi Four Symbol Seal covered an area of ​​18 feet, and it was difficult for anyone to hear their conversation, so he asked in a low voice: "In the Dragon's Nest, I heard Xiao Hei say that the Wuding Divine Sea may be There is someone hiding under the Dark Ancestor, and his cultivation level is at least half of the Ancestor level. Is this true? Is the Dark Temple stolen related to this person?"

Zhang Ruochen looked very indifferent and said: "What Xiao Hei? He is now the leader of the Shen Yun Sect, and his mental power is close to that of Tian Yuan Wu Que. Don't you want to lose face?"

"You called me an old guy, but I didn't say anything." Venerable Jie was a little unconvinced, and then he lowered his voice and asked: "I heard that the Ming Ancestors took action at Beize Great Wall and killed them. Want to cross the long river of time and come to the ancestor of this era? Is it true or false?"

Zhang Ruochen had to lament that Xiao Hei's mouth told everything in just a short time, and it also deviated from the truth.

One can imagine how unbelievable the legends in this world are.

It’s so difficult to find the truth behind the legend!

Zhang Ruochen said: "The Ming Ancestor is most likely Jiutian."

Lord Jie gasped and was stunned. He recalled that he had a drink with Jiutian last month, and his heart palpitated.

"Are they all hiding so deeply? That's right. The drunkard and the corpse nightmare have been friends for many years. How can there be no problem? All the anti-gods were cursed to death, and only his lineage was spared. It's too unreasonable."

Lord Jie thought of something and said: "Wait a minute, if that drunkard is the Ming Ancestor, why did he expose himself and why did he run away? No one can threaten him at all."

Zhang Ruochen's eyes were cold, and he said with a very confident look: "Because, he took action on the Beize Great Wall and exposed a flaw. Based on this flaw, the God Realm can deduce the secrets and cause and effect to find him. The Fourth Confucian Ancestor When I came to Wuding Shenhai, did you think I was coming back to catch up with you? I came here to further confirm."

"If he doesn't leave, are he waiting for the gods of the God Realm and the Gods of the Sword Realm to attack him together? No matter how strong he is, he is still not invincible. There is more than one immortal!"

Lord Jie really believed Zhang Ruochen's words. Otherwise, given Zhang Ruochen's character, how could he have a secret meeting with his lover here instead of rescuing the old drunkard when such a big thing happened?

With his heart agitated, Lord Jie was no longer in the mood to drink, and said to himself: "Fortunately, fortunately there are still people in this world who can compete with him, and he has already left!"

"Who said he has left?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Lord Jie said: "Didn't you leave?"

Zhang Ruochen said: "The Kingdom of the Underworld was half destroyed, and I brought them back to the Wuding Divine Sea. The Underworld Soldiers and Underworld Generals were defeated and fled in all directions. The Underworld Sea was divided by three parties, Baal fell, Patriarch Chongming died, and the Underworld Ancestor faction suffered unparalleled heavy losses. Where can the Ming Ancestor go after leaving the Wuding Divine Sea?"

"I guess he didn't leave the Wuding Divine Sea, he just turned from light to dark and completely hidden."

Lord Jie's face turned pale and he said: "Then aren't we in great danger? That old drunkard...Zhang Ruochen, can your Tai Chi Four Symbol Seals isolate his perception? He is the Ancestor of the Underworld, the legendary immortal. , an existence that has the ability to initiate catastrophes that will destroy the world."

Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes, shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know! If you can't reach that level of cultivation, how can you know the abilities of monks at that level?"

Lord Jie put his hands together, bowed in all directions, and said: "Master Ming Ancestor, children's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled, if I have offended my junior just now, please forgive me."

"Tongyanwuji!"

Zhang Ruochen smiled.

Lord Jie's eyes widened and he said seriously: "Compared with Master Ming Ancestor who has lived for endless years, aren't the two of us just two little children?"

Zhang Ruochen said: "Don't worry! Mingzu's opponents are gods and ancient creatures, and they won't be as knowledgeable as you. There is no need to kill you and expose yourself."

"It seems so."

After thinking through this level, Lord Jie immediately relaxed and was no longer as tense as before. He smiled and said: "Zhang Ruochen, it seems that you have no choice. You can only survive by seeking refuge in the God Realm."

Zhang Ruochen said: "Why should I seek refuge in the God Realm?"

Lord Jie said: "Didn't you just talk about the good things you did at Beize Great Wall? How could Ming Ancestor let you go? Ming Ancestor let you go, and Corpse Nightmare will not let you go either."

"What if I have to wrestle with them?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Lord Jie said: "What to use? With your current cultivation level, the ancestor can suppress you with one hand. However, I still appreciate your courage and arrogance, and you have not disgraced the Zhang family. "

Zhang Ruochen said thoughtfully, "What do you think of the Fourth Confucian Patriarch?"

Lord Jie became serious and said: "It sounds nice, but I didn't take action when the Kunlun Realm was in the most critical situation. Now that the Kunlun Realm has re-emerged, it wants to invite us to join the Eternal Heaven. In this way, the better it sounds, the better it will be. It makes people more uncomfortable. I heard that you have a good relationship? Did you feel like old friends at first sight? "

"Oh! What did he say?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Lord Jie said: "I didn't say too much, I just mentioned a few words. He said that you fought side by side at the Great Wall of Beize and suppressed the spirit of the Nether Sea. It was your suggestion to hand over the body of the Nether Sea to him for suppression. of."

"That's true." Zhang Ruochen said.

Lord Jie said: "You asked that little black man to hand over the World-Destroying Bell to him and ask him to take it back to the Eternal Heaven to suppress it. Isn't that a sign of trust in the Eternal Heaven? I thought you had decided to seek refuge in the God Realm!"

"When I build a seventy-two-story tower, the ancestors can't touch it." Zhang Ruochen said.

Hearing these words, Lord Jie was shocked. If the Zhang family could regain the ancestor-level combat power, both its survivability and influence would rise to a higher level.

Luo Shuihan returned to Tianren Academy and came to Beiya. He watched Zhang Ruochen and Lord Jie from a distance for a moment before walking over.

She is always as cold as snow on a cold mountain.

At this moment, the coldness was even stronger, and she whispered: "Did Di Chen take advantage of me?"

Zhang Ruochen put down the wine in his hand and said, "Why did Senior Sister Luo say that?"

"I gave the book sealed with Buddhist patterns by Master Can Deng to the Fourth Confucian Patriarch. After he looked through it, he only said one sentence, Di Chen has good intentions! I guess you borrowed my hand. , plotting against Confucian Ancestor."

Luo Shuihan's tone was calm from beginning to end, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Ruochen didn't know if Ming Ancestor could hear their conversation across the Tai Chi Four Symbols Seal. Therefore, he couldn't explain it to Luo Shuihan and said: "Those things that Master Can Deng found out involve the ancestors and the immortals." , it’s not for us in the sword world to get involved.”

"The reason why I asked Senior Sister to hand it over to Ruzu is because Ruzu and the divine realm behind him are qualified to investigate this matter. At the same time, it also throws out the trouble as early as possible."

Luo Shuihan clasped his hands together, bowed deeply, his black hair hanging down, and said: "I have a lot of trust in Di Chen and highly respect his character, so I am willing to believe Di Chen's explanation. Di Chen is a noble person." The most powerful person in the universe can explain to Shui Han. Shui Han admires me but also feels extremely guilty. I hope Di Chen can forgive me for my rashness just now!"

Zhang Ruochen felt guilty, but could not express it. He could only apologize in the future and said: "I have met Confucian Ancestor, what choice do you plan to make, Senior Sister?"

"Of course I will stay in the Kunlun realm." Luo Shuihan said.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Didn't the Fourth Confucian Patriarch offer generous terms to someone as talented as Senior Sister?"

"The Fourth Confucian Patriarch planned to accept me as his disciple and teach the Tao of painting personally. My whole family and I can go to the Eternal Heaven and even the God Realm. But I refused!" Luo Shuihan said.

Zhang Ruochen was puzzled and said: "Why?"

"I have said it just now! I have a lot of trust in Di Chen, but I have no such trust in Confucian Ancestor." Luo Shuihan said.

Zhang Ruochen felt a lot of emotions welling up in his heart and said, "What if I just answered that I was using you?"

Luo Shuihan's eyes were as calm as a flat lake, and he said: "Then you must have a reason to do this, because this person does not have to be me. Di Chen, Luo Shuihan and the Luo clan will always stand by you."

…

Sword World, Shen Yun Sect.

The eighteen-story sword pavilion, the eighteen-story netherworld dungeon, and the eighteen-story ghost gate have been forged and turned into a towering fifty-four-story tower, standing in the fog of time and space.

Countless profound divine formations are arranged around this fifty-four-story divine tower.

Zhang Ruochen and Nalan Danqing appeared outside the fog of time and space.

Xiao Hei was in front, opening the divine formations one after another.

He asked: "Zhang Ruochen, what is the book you asked Luo Shuihan to bring to the Fourth Confucian Patriarch? Why don't you let me bring it with you?"

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask," Zhang Ruochen said.

Xiao Hei was very speechless and said: "You can't even ask? You don't really suspect that this sect leader is a monk of the Ming Ancestor faction? Please, we have been friends for many years, but we still can't have a heart to heart?"

"You really want to know?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

Xiao Hei opened the last formation and said: "You know me, this sect leader can change other problems, but this problem of curiosity can't be changed no matter what!"

Zhang Ruochen said: "I don't tell you because I'm afraid of hurting you. Curiosity can sometimes kill people."

"Don't worry, this sect leader can still deal with important matters related to life and safety."

The little black eyes rolled around, and he pulled Zhang Ruochen towards the fifty-fourth floor of the tower, saying: "Let's talk inside! Even the ancestors can't steal the content of our conversation here."

The three of them entered the tower and closed the door.

This first floor of the tower was the first floor of the former sword pavilion.

Zhang Ruochen released his mental power and explored every inch of the structure here, especially the deep lines of the tower body. He couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

It was only the fifty-fourth floor of the tower, but the structure of the entire first floor of the sword pavilion had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Like branches growing out of dead trees, stubborn rocks turning into jade, the ancestral inscriptions left by the Sword Ancestor and the Time and Space Ancestor all revived and became active.

The reason is that the current fifty-four-story tower is continuously absorbing the energy of heaven and earth and absorbing the underground divine veins, as if it is alive and growing.

It is conceivable that if it is really cast into seventy-two layers, it must absorb the energy of heaven and earth faster.

The ancestral inscriptions left in the tower by the Time and Space Human Ancestor, the Underworld Ancestor, the Sword Ancestor, the Heavenly Demon, and the Fudo Ming King may not necessarily return to their peak power state under the nourishment of the energy of heaven and earth.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochen hesitated.

Could it be that there is a force in the dark that is pushing him to build a seventy-two-story tower?

Once the seventy-two-story tower is built, and Zhang Ruochen fails to protect its strength, letting it fall into the hands of an immortal will immediately break the existing balance of power.

At that time, the immortal will no longer need Zhang Ruochen. With the seventy-two-story tower, he can kill the enemy, initiate the destruction of the world, absorb the soul and power of the entire universe, strengthen himself, and resist the calamity.

Regardless of whether the seventy-two-story tower falls into the hands of the Underworld Ancestor or the immortal behind the God Realm, the final result will most likely be the same.

Everyone must die and become nourishment, only that one person can live.

Xiao Hei asked: "How's it going? I didn't lie to you, did I? The current fifty-four-story tower can definitely isolate all the secrets of cause and effect, even the ancestors can't calculate it."

Nalan Danqing said: "What if the ancestor is in the tower?"

Xiao Hei couldn't guarantee it anymore and said: "This... we can't continue talking about this! Is it necessary to be so arrogant?"

"Don't worry, I can still judge whether there is an ancestor in the fifty-fourth floor tower, at least I can do the elimination method." Zhang Ruochen said.

Xiao Hei said happily: "Doesn't it mean that you have never doubted my sect leader? That gesture in the Haoyuechen Heart Palace was completely for the lurkers to see?"

Zhang Ruochen said: "Don't you want to know the contents of that book? I can tell you."

After listening to Zhang Ruochen's story.

Xiao Hei couldn't calm down for a long time, and said: "What you did is right. The sword world really has nothing to do with this matter. Anyway, this sect leader never wants to know who the immortal is. Let the god world investigate, they will definitely be interested. . But, do we really take no action at all?”

"What if we really find that painting? The immortal about that painting will definitely be killed and silenced." Zhang Ruochen said.

The little black chick nodded like he was pecking rice, and said: "I'm just shy, why do you ask this? It's all Can Deng's fault. He has nothing wrong with investigating, but he insists on investigating this."

"Master Can Deng believes that the painting is probably related to the Ming Ancestor, and is most likely hidden in the Kongming Ruins. He has already rushed there!" Zhang Ruochen said.

Xiao Hei was even more shocked and asked: "Is the Kongmingxu also born?"

"Shh! Not many people in the entire Xuanyuan family know that Xuanyuan Lian can tell me because of his great trust in me. I am already very sorry for telling you this secret. But the friendship between you and me is nothing. It can be concealed, and we can completely trust each other." Zhang Ruochen said.

Xiao Hei assured: "That's natural! After I took the position of the sect leader, I became much more stable than before, and my tone was very tight. Hey, a talented woman also has to retreat in the tower?"

Zhang Ruochen said: "You are taking too much care. I am the one who invited the talented girl to the tower to discuss poetry, painting and musical instruments."

Xiao Hei immediately understood that Luo Ji, Mu Lingxi, Ling Feiyu and other women had all gone to the Jade Huang Realm, while Wu Yue, Ji Fanxin, and Bai Qing'er were not trustworthy. Facing the gentle and elegant Sheng How can Zhang Ruochen control such a talented scholar?

The two had feelings for each other many years ago, but Chi Yao was always in the middle, so it didn't work out.

It just so happens that Chi Yao is not here either, so why don't you use firewood and fire?

Xiao Hei opened the door of the tower and retreated. Before closing the door, he hesitated and said: "Pay attention to your health. I heard from Confucian Master that you are seriously injured."

The tower door is closed.

Silence fell within the tower.

Nalan Danqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Now she wanted to explain, but no one would listen!

Let Lord Jie and Xiao Hei make random guesses. It is conceivable that soon, the entire sword world will know that she, Nalan Danqing, has become Di Chen's concubine.

But she didn't express her worries. Perhaps Di Chen wanted this effect to hide the truth.

Nalan Danqing said: "Is it possible that there is no more 300 taels of silver here? If you bring me into the fifty-fourth floor tower, someone will definitely notice something unreasonable."

"So what if you notice it? Does Danqing think it can be hidden forever?"

Zhang Ruochen continued: "The immortals will not doubt you, just because they don't take you seriously. Once they get serious and target you, it is only a matter of time. Therefore, I will take you with me to protect you. I can really feel at ease.”

"Where's Sect Master Xia? I don't feel like he's someone who can keep secrets!"

Nalan Danqing frowned, feeling worried.

"What's the point of telling someone who can keep a secret?"

Zhang Ruochen looked around the first floor of the sword pavilion, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

The current situation is so difficult that I can't even tell the truth to those closest to me.

It is necessary to break through to the half-ancestral realm as soon as possible so that Xiao Yan can reach perfection.

Xiaoyan's perfection is equivalent to having a perfect little world of his own. Zhang Ruochen is 100% confident that within a certain range, no one can eavesdrop on his conversations with others, truly isolating all secrets and cause and effect.

Even within one realm, Zhang Ruochen could compete with the ancestors and immortals in terms of divine calculations, without being completely helpless.

At that time, it will not be so easy for the immortal to hide beside him!

But if Zhang Ruochen can think of this, the immortal can definitely think of it too. Just as Zhang Ruochen had expected, when he stepped into the Half-Ancestral Realm, it would definitely be the time when the Immortal would advance his plan.

Therefore, Zhang Ruochen still has a lot to do before breaking through to the Half Ancestor Realm.

This is his only chance to make plans!
