Chapter 139: Let Your Imagination Soar!
“Come to think of it, are we still inside the Myriad Path Divine Tower?”
After what felt like an eternity, the three finally managed to shake off the awkward and slightly embarrassing atmosphere, so Yun Zhonghe decided to ask.
He didn’t know what had happened while he was unconscious, and his current state wasn’t great—his spiritual energy was depleted, and he was drained of mental power. If anything unexpected were to happen, protecting both girls might just be too difficult for him.
So, he needed to figure out their situation first.
Lin Zhongyu nodded. “Yes, we’re still on the thirty-fifth floor. After you scattered the virtual image of Senior Xia Wudi, nothing much happened since then. The tower neither opened a passage to the next floor nor gave us any hints as to how to leave.”
Yun Zhonghe stroked his chin thoughtfully and asked, “How long have I been out?”
Lin Zhongyu replied, “About half an hour.”
Half an hour…
Yun Zhonghe fished out his token card. In theory, if he crushed it now, he could forcibly leave the tower, but doing so would also mean missing out on his reward.
Since this was a voluntary withdrawal, once he was teleported, he wouldn’t be able to enter the internal Scripture Pavilion to pick out techniques or skills.
He had worked so hard to reach the thirty-fifth floor; leaving now would defeat the purpose of his efforts.
“Most likely, the energy in the tower is just running low, and it needs some time to recover. We’ll just have to wait a bit longer.”
Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu shared Yun Zhonghe’s sentiment, though they didn’t know how much longer they’d have to wait.
“Yeah, it should only take a little more. After all, there are still plenty of people out there, so it wouldn’t make sense for us to spend our whole lives in this tower.”
Lin Zhongyu tried to lighten the mood with a tiny joke. She was also just trying to break the silence.
However, Mu Jixue, seated to the side, suddenly had an epiphany and her imagination ran wild.
Spending their entire lives here… Was this about building a little home and starting a family?
Her and Yun Zhonghe having children? And Lin Zhongyu too, having children with Yun Zhonghe?
Even having two of them give birth to his children at the same time?!
Let your imagination soar, Mu Jixue!
She pictured herself and Lin Zhongyu lying in bed, stark n*ked with large bellies spread apart, facing Yun Zhonghe while sticking out their tongues in a lustful manner…
This kind of thing… This kind of thing…
Mu Jixue’s head began to smoke.
No, no, she was thinking nonsense!!
She quickly regained her composure and threw those absurd notions out of her mind, then instinctively hugged her knees, shyly hiding her face.
“Come to think of it, when you defeated senior Xia Wudi, did you use the same exact sword technique that she used?”
Her voice was weak, a way to distract herself.
But Yun Zhonghe didn’t catch on.
“Exactly, the challenge was to master Senior Xia Wudi’s sword technique. Only her technique could beat her. But I must admit, Senior Xia Wudi truly lives up to her name; her techniques are amazing. And it’s lucky that the virtual image projected was only at the Foundation Establishment stage; otherwise, I would have been in serious trouble.”
Yun Zhonghe was unashamed, always being the most honest in front of Huang Aotian and the female lead.
He reminisced fondly about the sword battle with Senior Xia Wudi.
Senior Xia Wudi’s technique was fantastic! Smooth and… slick…
Now inheriting Xia Wudi’s technique meant inheriting her legacy, which filled him with genuine excitement and pride.
Plus, he could feel that Xia Wudi’s demonstrated technique wasn’t even fully mastered, leaving room for further development.
Who would have thought that he could learn from a legend like Xia Wudi…
“You’re quite impressive,” Mu Jixue whispered with a mix of admiration and envy.
He noticed the odd tone in her voice. This girl probably felt envious because he was too good for her.
After all, Huang Aotian, who had a strong competitive streak, would naturally be bothered by the idea of a yellow-haired person being on top of her head.
Yun Zhonghe shook his head helplessly.
This white-haired girl was far too sensitive. Why get all worked up? I’m your good buddy, my sword is your sword, do whatever you want with it. Yun Zhonghe wouldn’t say “no” to any requests.
Just chill, bro!
Of course, he did know that if Huang Aotian remained weak, she wouldn’t be able to charm many people in the future.
And with the plot going wild, the difficulty ramping up, it was really necessary to strengthen Huang Aotian.
Rest assured! Good buddy will give her a major boost soon!
Mu Jixue: ??
Right as Yun Zhonghe was about to soothe Mu Jixue, the Myriad Path Divine Tower trembled, and its power sources finally recharged completely.
[Challenge Successful! Continue to Trials?]
Golden spiritual energy text finally appeared, and the three sighed in relief.
Looks like they wouldn’t need to spend the rest of their lives here. It was too bad…
Hmm? Why do I feel disappointed?
At this moment, two entrances appeared before them.
One led to the next floor down, the other offered giving up and collecting rewards.
The trio was definitely exhausted; they were already at the limits at the thirty-fifth floor. Additionally, Yun Zhonghe had reached his goal.
But the Myriad Path Divine Tower really was a great place, suitable for anyone practicing Qi Refinement or Spirit Condensation.
Once they become stronger, they must come back and try again!
“If there are no objections, let’s stop here, the thirty-fifth floor result is already pretty impressive.”
Yun Zhonghe’s suggestion was met with the agreement of the two girls, seeing how they had no energy left anyway.
So, they decisively entered the second entrance to settle rewards.
As they crossed the threshold, the black world was left behind, presenting a new world ahead.
Before their eyes stood a huge library, spanning multiple levels, with countless stairs crisscrossing from bottom to top. It currently only reached the thirty-fifth level, symbolizing their rewards limit.
The library within was brightly lit, illuminating everything around.
[Congratulations! You have successfully completed the trial on the thirty-fifth floor. Each of you can choose one technique or skill from it, and the one who performed best can pick an extra one.]
Naturally, the one who performed best was Yun Zhonghe.
The golden spiritual energy text ultimately transformed into a beam of light that injected itself into Yun Zhonghe’s token card, giving him new access to choose two items.
The two girls didn’t object to Yun Zhonghe choosing two, since indeed, he was the most diligent and had conquered the last five challenges alone. He deserved this honor.
“From the first to the thirty-fifth floor, higher floors are bound to have superior techniques and skills. However, higher rank doesn’t necessarily mean better fit. Suitable is the key. Go ahead and pick thoroughly, consider carefully before making any decisions.”
Before embarking on the selection, Yun Zhonghe kindly reminded them.
