Chapter 541: The Divine Engineer's Huatian Tower Frenzy, Nirvana's Astonishing Tower Climbing Speed (Part 2)
Chapter 541: The Divine Engineer's Huatian Tower Frenzy, Nirvana's Astonishing Tower Climbing Speed (Part 2)
The first story, with black tiles and ink jade, was adorned with ancient runes that seemed to come to life.
The second story, with black tiles transformed into deep blue ice crystals, formed a dome, encrusted with star dust. The light shining upon it made it appear like a slowly rotating map of the twenty-eight constellations, dreamlike and surreal.
The third, fourth stories...
Each story had a different color: some were radiant gold, some moonlit white, some celestial green, some chaotic...
Each story was etched with ancient runes, causing Li Che to tremble with excitement.
Moreover, the architectural style of the Heavenly Tower captivated Li Che. As a Semi-Immortal Divine Sculptor, he felt a surge of enthusiasm.
The tower was constructed with 129,600 Heavenly Craft Mortise and Tenon structures.
Star Host Bracket Sets and Dragon Spine Through Beams, with patterns resembling dragon scales, covered the structure, making Li Che’s hands itch, urging him to wield his chisel and carve.
The Divine Engineer Dao Fruit in his chest throbbed greedily.
Li Che’s unusual state caught the attention of Fu Shaohui and the others.
Seeing Li Che’s gestures in the air, Fu Shaohui immediately understood what was happening.
“I never thought... Senior Dizang is also a Divine Sculptor!”
Fu Shaohui didn’t believe that a Nirvana powerhouse of Dizang’s status would be just a Divine Sculptor or a Semi-Immortal Divine Sculptor; he must be the most revered Divine Sculptor!
In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Divine Sculptors held an extremely high status because the spirit sculptures they carved could serve as Dao Essence Crystals, and the lowest grade was a three-leaf Dao Essence Crystal!
This was just the starting point; at the Grand Assembly of Divine Sculptors in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, some Divine Sculptors had even carved spirit sculptures containing Dao Essence comparable to a seven-leaf Dao Essence Crystal!
The numerous Dao Severing Divine Spirits present became even more respectful.
They couldn’t imagine that the person before them was merely a small Divine Spirit who had just ignited a Divine Flame and entered the Divine Spirit realm, not even having reached Dao Fusion.
Li Che was immersed in the impact of the Heavenly Tower’s grand and intricately crafted structure.
His Star-Picking Eye emitted a golden light, scanning the entire tower, analyzing its structure and memorizing the ancient runes. During this process, the maturity of the Divine Engineer Dao Fruit in his chest slowly increased!
When Li Che’s mind returned, he couldn’t help but marvel.
“Truly divine craftsmanship, exquisitely perfect. The Divine Sculptor who created such a heavenly masterpiece must be a Great Immortal!”
Li Che sighed in admiration.
“Senior Dizang is right; this Heavenly Tower is a Divine Armament of the Second Sage Rank... It is on par with a Heavenly Apex Immortal Artifact, and in a strict sense, it’s even higher.”
Ji Shaohao echoed Li Che’s praise.
Li Che nodded, his black robe with golden lotus patterns fluttering as he took a step and entered the Heavenly Tower.
Rumble—
The tower’s door slammed shut.
Fu Shaohui, Ji Shaohao, and the other three descendants of the Immortal First Generation, their eyes shining with keen interest.
“Can he succeed?”
“It’s very difficult... But given his performance in the Nine-Dragon Cataclysm Pool, it’s hard to say.”
“Why is it hard to say? Failure is inevitable; the only question is how far he can make it...”
“He chose to bring out the Nine-Dragon Cataclysm Gas and the Heavenly Tower, both of which are of high rank. It’s very challenging. Even a Nirvana Demon Spirit from my Mysterious Demon Den attempted this combination and failed, collapsing at the eighth level of the Heavenly Tower after obtaining the Nine-Dragon Cataclysm Gas.”
Fu Shaohui narrowed his eyes, speaking calmly.
The three of them fell silent, their gazes fixed on the first story of the Heavenly Tower, which was now glowing with light.
...
...
Li Che stepped into the first story of the Heavenly Tower.
Li Che was actually unaware of the trials within the Heavenly Tower. This Second Sage Divine Armament, in terms of rank, was even higher than the Nine-Dragon Cataclysm Gas.
The first story was vast, with a thousand mechanical pillars. Nine columns rose from the ground, piercing the sky and extending into the second story.
The sky was a deep azure, with cotton-candy-like clouds drifting lazily, evoking a sense of comfort and ease.
Li Che's gaze fell on the figure standing in the center of the first floor of Heavenly Tower.
It was a wooden sculpture. Li Che caught a whiff of a burnt aroma, the fragrance of lightning-struck wood. Faint bolts of lightning seemed to dance within, a lingering resonance from the terrifying thunder that had struck it.
Li Che looked at the divine sculpture. The divine sculpture had a dragon's head and a human body, holding an ancient zither with a burnt tail. It stood quietly, and a gentle breeze swept past, causing the zither to emit a clear, crisp sound.
In the next moment, the divine sculpture's eyes opened.
"Defeat the divine being to see the emperor."
The statue spoke, its voice booming.
The Bound Dragon Harp Spirit Sculpture, accompanied by the sound of gears turning, plucked its strings, and instantly, countless stars intertwined, forming a star map that enveloped Li Che entirely.
Li Che felt that his divine energy, martial arts true qi, and primordial energy were all severely restricted, meaning that he could only use his physical strength to challenge Heavenly Tower.
Boom!
Just as Li Che was thinking.
A colossal divine sculpture emerged from the shadows behind him. The Bound Dragon Harp Spirit Sculpture raised the burnt-tail zither and smashed it down at Li Che with all its might, intent on turning him into a pile of mush!
Li Che's body trembled, the Nine Tribulation Immortal Mark spread across his flesh, and his powerful Sacred Body resonated. He spread his fingers wide and slammed them into the ancient zither.
Dong—!!!
The entire tower shook!
The collision of immense power sent invisible shockwaves rippling outward.
Li Che's eyes gleamed with sharp light. He spread his fingers wide, hooking and lifting the burnt-tail zither.
The massive ten-zhang-tall statue, with its dragon head, glowed with fury.
Li Che's brows parted, and the Star-Picking Eyes emitted a radiant light.
He scanned the divine sculpture, his eyes shining brightly.
His powerful, sinewy body, with its taut muscles and pulsing veins, trembled with immense strength.
He forcefully knocked the zither away, spun around, and landed behind the statue. His feet touched the ground lightly, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and he took three quick steps to a specific spot, stomping down hard.
Puh!
The statue, which had been furiously swinging the zither, froze, as if time had stopped.
At its spine, a fish-shaped mortise and tenon joint was revealed, with an ancient symbol pulsing inside!
"The Spirit Sculpture Vital Point."
Li Che smiled lightly, tapping his finger on the protruding fish-shaped joint. Instantly, the joint exploded!
The entire divine sculpture began to disintegrate and collapse, turning into countless tiny wood chips!
Li Che landed, his black robes fluttering, and the white jade Ksitigarbha mask on his face exuded a sense of compassion.
Radiant light intertwined and flickered before his eyes.
[Dao Fruit: Divine Engineer (Lv7, 85%)]
The Nine Divine Seals of Heavenly Secrets had fused with two ancient symbols, significantly increasing the maturity of Li Che's Divine Engineer Dao Fruit.
Finding the Spirit Sculpture Vital Point and defeating the opponent with ease this time further increased the maturity of his Divine Engineer Dao Fruit.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
Li Che felt a sudden burst of force under his feet, and in the next moment, he found himself on the second floor.
His gaze swept over three lion-shaped wooden sculptures, radiating intense scorching flames. They moved lifelike, their scales etched with ancient fire patterns, and their manes made of wooden threads fluttering in the wind.
The Suan Ni Fire-Devouring Spirit Sculpture, also a product of heavenly craftsmanship, emitted a clicking sound as its claws revealed wooden gears. The gears turned, and fiery divine spears shot out from a distance!
The flames on the divine spears burned intensely, a powerful divine flame that would turn anything it touched into charred remains.
Even Li Che was taken aback by the terrifying power of these flames.
On the second floor, Li Che had to break through the three Suan Ni Fire-Devouring Spirit Sculptures.
Li Che stepped forward, and sword light seemed to surge from his feet. Despite the suppression of his true qi and primordial energy, his powerful Sacred Body allowed him to execute the Six Desires Void Sword Technique.
The sword light flowed, and he moved like a flowing sword.
It seemed to perfectly showcase the spatial essence.
The Six Desires Void Sword Technique, fused with the Primordial Spatial Cataclysm, was not just a sword technique but also a movement technique!
Li Che's third eye opened, and he stared directly at the three Suan Ni, searching for their Spirit Sculpture Vital Points.
According to the rules of Heavenly Tower, one had to defeat these spirit sculptures to continue ascending. For those unfamiliar with the spirit sculptures or the art of heavenly craftsmanship, the only option was to charge through, making the challenge extremely difficult.
But for Li Che...
With the spatial movement technique, it felt like a leisurely stroll.
In a moment, approaching the three Suan Ni, Li Che's powerful Sacred Body supplied immense strength. He swiftly flew over the three Suan Ni, and with a few quick taps, he found their hidden mortise and tenon joints and their vital points.
...
...
Outside Heavenly Tower.
Several Dao Severing divine beings, suppressed by the Rule Power of the Temple of Oddities, had their divine energy hidden, and their once formidable Dao Severing bodies became plain and unremarkable.
They stood outside Heavenly Tower, staring at the glowing tower.
When the first floor of Heavenly Tower lit up and then dimmed in just a few breaths, followed by the second floor lighting up, many Dao Severing divine beings drew sharp breaths.
"Amazingly fast!"
Exclamations echoed continuously.
Fu Shaohui, Ji Shaohao, and Shi Shaokai, the first-generation descendants of Immortality, also narrowed their eyes in surprise.
The mechanical spirit sculpture on the first floor of Heavenly Tower was on par with a Dao Fusion cultivator. After our divine nature was restricted, we could only rely on our physical bodies. Even with a Dao Severing body, it would take at least half an hour to deal with it!"
"This person... almost finished it in a few breaths, nearly an instant kill!"
"This indicates that this person’s physical body is extremely powerful; he must be a Nirvana Divine Being!"
Fu Shaohui said in a low, serious tone.
This time, the test in Heavenly Tower further confirmed Dizang’s cultivation.
If the Nine-Dragon Cataclysm Pool was just for assessment, then the trials within Heavenly Tower were a genuine comparison.
"Moreover, Senior Dizang has obtained the Nine-Dragon Cataclysm Pool. The challenges he faces in Heavenly Tower will be even harder!"
"Truly a remarkable senior!"
Shi Shaokai clasped his hands together, a faint smile playing on his lips.
This was a powerhouse from Black Mount Meru.
The presence of such a strong figure in Black Mount Meru was a stroke of luck.
Such a powerhouse was already a top-tier existence below Immortality, a towering figure even in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
Whether in Black Mount Meru, the Thirty-Three Heavens of Heavenly Peak in the Dark Heavenly Court, or the Mysterious Demon Caverns, he was a towering figure!
After a brief commotion, everyone continued to focus on Heavenly Tower.
The light on the second floor flickered and didn’t last long, dimming after about ten breaths.
Then the third floor lit up...
Half an hour later.
The third floor dimmed, and the fourth floor shone brightly!
The many Dao Severing divine spirits standing below the tower were completely stunned.
"Is he really challenging the tower?!"
"How can it be so fast?!"
Even Fu Shaohui and his companions were momentarily speechless, a bit dazed.
Could it be that an Immortal is challenging the tower?
If it were an Immortal’s body, it would naturally be able to dominate and crush these spirit sculptures.
But an Immortal cannot enter this Second Sage Rank Temple!
Rumble—!!!
Suddenly.
The entire Second Sage Rank Temple began to shake.
A figure, with an extremely powerful physical body, walked toward the temple, still radiating divine light despite the suppression of the temple’s seal.
Saying "walked" was an understatement; it was more like a dive, akin to an arrow shooting out, arriving in an instant.
An overwhelming pressure, like a mountain flood, surged forward!
Boom—!!!
When the figure took a step and landed in front of Heavenly Tower, the ground seemed to turn to soft mud, sinking inward.
Among the three Immortal descendants, Ji Shaohao’s face instantly turned respectful and fervent.
"Ji Shaohao greets the Immortal Emperor!"
The newcomer was the reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor of the Dark Heavenly Court, a peak Nirvana powerhouse currently sensing and attempting to control the Seal of Heaven.
Perhaps sensing the unusual activity at Heavenly Tower, the reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor opened his eyes and quickly approached.
"You don’t need to call me Immortal Emperor. I am now a reincarnation, with a name and a surname. Call me Nirvana King."
The newcomer said calmly, his powerful aura suppressing the Dao Severing divine spirits present, making them hold their breath.
In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a Nirvana Divine Being... is a king and a towering figure!
"Yes, I greet Heavenly Peak King!"
Ji Shaohao and the others responded respectfully.
"Such incredible speed..."
"Even if I were to challenge it, I doubt I could do much better!"
Heavenly Peak King stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance. The divine light emanating from him, like threads of silk, intertwined.
His gaze fell on Heavenly Tower, watching the layers of light flicker and then go out, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Shaohao, is this the mysterious Nirvana you reported to me?"
"Someone who has been asleep since the beginning of the God Tide and only awakened during the eighth God Tide?"
Heavenly Peak King asked in a deep voice.
Ji Shaohao bowed respectfully, "I report to Heavenly Peak King... this is indeed the person."
"This person has already obtained the Nine-Dragon Cataclysm Gas. Heavenly Tower is his second target for a Second Sage Rank Divine Armament. Once obtained, he can carry two Second Sage Rank Divine Armaments out of the temple. Unless he dies in battle and becomes a temple spirit, these two Divine Armaments will accompany him for life and will not return to the temple."
"Great courage. Since the opening of the Jade Emperor Heavenly Temple, for tens of thousands of years... many brilliant Nirvana kings have failed without the intervention of Immortals. This person is likely to face the same fate."
Heavenly Peak King stood with his hands behind his back, head held high.
As his words echoed, the light on the eighth floor of Heavenly Tower suddenly dimmed.
The ninth floor flickered to life.
In an instant.
The area in front of the tower fell into a deathly silence.
