Chapter 7: When Strong Is Strong
Before Chen Xijin changed the fortune tower, he heard Ding Mei shouting at the students who ridiculed him. Although most of the students were noble, they did not dare to provoke the authority of the teaching. In Qingzhou, the Xiaomantian Sect was still the largest sect. The laughter gradually disappeared, but the joke-like eyes fell fiercely on Chen Xi's back.
The door of the remuneration tower is open.
However, no one dared to enter privately.
Since the Gaiyun Tower was dedicated to Shen Teng, many disciples who thought they were qualified to try their luck in the tower. As a result, ten of them were abandoned. These people who sneaked into Gaiyun Tower were carried out, and their meridians were cut off. It was impossible for them to practice again. Even if they were still alive, they were just disabled.
Since then, Xiaomantianzong has explicitly prohibited students from privately entering the tower of change.
Chen Xi breathed a long sigh of relief and walked into the gate of the Improvement Tower with his shoulder pole. The moment he entered, a burst of exclamations rang behind him.
"My God! He actually went in!"
"This little peddler is crazy!"
"Let's watch it, he will be thrown out half-dead in a moment!"
"It is rumored that the strongest student in the Sixth Academy of the Foreign Sect only climbed the third-level tower, or was escorted by the elders of the sect. Someone once wanted to take another step after climbing the third-level tower, but he was ruined after stepping on the steps with one foot. I don't know what evil things are in the tower, which are so weird."
"You are worried about that little servant? It's really unnecessary! He, an ordinary person, wants to get into the Great Luck Tower and hit the Great Luck Tower, isn't he trying to die! If he doesn't come out for three minutes after entering the tower, I'll slap twenty myself!"
"That's right, such a small person dares to challenge the rules of the sect."
These people were talking in a low voice, but they couldn't hide their excitement.
Ding Mei suddenly felt a little sad when she looked at these people. The reason why the students were so excited was because Chen Xi did something they wanted to do but dared not do. They were all waiting urgently, and the next second Chen Xi was carried out from the reform tower in a bloody and bloody way.
But in fact, there is no one in the fortune tower.
After Chen Xi entered the door, he found nothing unusual. He stayed at the door for dozens of seconds and sorted out the news about the Change Tower in his mind. These news were remembered when he was young, and some were found later. Of course, there were also those loyal old servants who tried their best to tell him in detail before he died.
It is said that the Gaiyun Tower was built by the first sect leader of the Xiaomantian Sect. The first sect leader of the Xiaomantian Sect reigned for 233 years. He started from scratch and established a sect, bringing the Xiaomantian Sect into the ranks of the world's first-class sects. Later, he went to Kunlun to build the Gaiyun Tower to temper the sect's children.
The Nine-Colored Stone is a Kunlun divine object. It is said that with the cultivation level of the first sect leader, he suffered considerable injuries when he came back.
After the successful construction of the Gaiyun Tower, the reputation of Xiaomantian Sect was unparalleled. No one had ever thought that the Xiaomantian Sect, after the Gaiyun Tower, would become a second-rate sect, and within a few hundred years it became a second-rate sect. No one could tell the reason. It was just that some people once speculated that although the first sect leader was amazing, he was not able to control the divine objects after all. The Nine-Colored Stone is the treasure of Kunlun, and only a dragon vein land like Kunlun can nourish it.
After the Nine Color Stone arrived at Qingliang Mountain where Xiaomantian Sect was located, it frantically absorbed the spiritual energy of Qingliang Mountain. As a result, hundreds of years later, the spiritual beauty of Qingliang Mountain had been absorbed. It is precisely because of this that Xiaomantian Sect slowly declined like this. The mysterious color in this speculation is fascinating, and I don’t know if it is appropriate to the truth.
But Chen Xi knew one thing better than others... that is, the Xiaomantian Sect is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Disciples who have entered the destiny of qualifications and conditions of the Gaiyun Tower will be secretly sent to the inner sect. A rumored inner sect and the outer sect disciples yearn for the inner sect who are not clear at all. These excellent disciples who have been tempered by the Gaiyun Tower will be sent to another more mysterious place.
In fact, it was not because the Little Mantian Sect had faded because of the beautiful spirit of Qingliang Mountain. But because a large number of the best disciples were secretly sent away.
People in the world don’t think about why a declining Xiaomantian Sect still owns the fortune tower for so many years? It still owns the nine-colored stone?
That's because there is a huge monster behind Xiaomantian Sect.
It is precisely because Chen Xi knew this that he had to upgrade the Fuyu Tower. He had to be tempered by the Fuyu Tower before he had the opportunity to enter the inner sect. Only when he reached the inner sect could he find out the cause of the tragedy that year and enter the giant to find the real murder.
He only knew that his parents were still trapped in the Jiuyou Underworld, but he didn't know where the Jiuyou Underworld was.
Chen Xi took a deep breath to calm his thoughts.
Next, he must concentrate on dealing with unknown dangers in the tower.
The first floor tower is very empty and there is nothing inside. You can see it at a glance, and there is not even a table. However, there are sixteen portals around the first floor tower, which makes it extremely strange. From the outside, only this door that Chen Xi walked into the Gaiyun Tower, and the rest are made of bricks and stones.
There is no door outside, but there are doors inside. So where will this door lead after it is opened?
"The first floor tower has sixteen cultivation gates. When you walk into any gate, you will be a stone chamber. There is no difference between these sixteen stone chambers and can delay the passage of time. If you practice in these sixteen sects for one day, it is equivalent to practicing outside for a month. This is also why you will improve your cultivation after entering the Improvement Tower. Moreover, the vitality in the 16 sects is several times richer than outside, which is of great benefit to improving your cultivation!"
The sound came outside the door, and it was Ding Mei's hesitation when she saw Chen Xi.
Chen Xi did not look back and slightly pointed his jaw.
"You just choose any door and go in!"
Ding Mei said anxiously: "Once you enter the door, the dean cannot pull you out, so you don't need to worry about anything now. You will talk about all the consequences after you come out! But remember that you can only practice in the door for a month at most. Once the time comes, the Mobility Tower will automatically send you out. Do not resist the power, otherwise you will be doomed!"
Chen Xi nodded, without any hesitation.
He walked towards the steps and rushed to the second-story tower.
Outside the door, Ding Mei was stunned.
"The torture is not in any door, but on the steps!"
This was the last reminder from Ding Mei that Chen Xi heard. When his feet stepped on the first stone steps, everything outside disappeared, and he seemed to have entered another world.
...
...
When Chen Xi's soles fell on the first stone steps, a heart-wrenching pain immediately spread from under the soles of his feet. Chen Xi looked down and found that the straw sandals had been burned to ashes. His soles were stepping on a stone burning with golden flames, and the fire made the soles of his feet sizzle.
Chen Xi frowned and looked up.
The stone steps I saw disappeared and turned into a hanging stone staircase. Twenty-eight burning stones floated in the air, one taller than the other. Only by stepping on these twenty-eight flint stones could we climb to the second level tower. Chen Xi let out a heavy breath and placed his other foot on the second flint stone.
In an instant, another straw sandal also turned into ashes.
The fire burned his feet in an instant, and a smell of fishy burnt penetrated his nose.
If it were ordinary people, they would have been unable to stand it anymore.
But Chen Xi did not retreat at all. He wanted to run up quickly at first, but then he found that the soles of his feet seemed to be stuck to the fire stone. Every time he lifted it up, he bit his lips and raised his left foot that had been stepped on the fire stone for the first time. With a slight sound, the burnt skin of the soles of his feet was peeled off a layer.
The bloody soles of his feet were burned by flames in an instant, and then his left foot fell on the third flame stone. Chen Xi's clothes began to burn, and the heart-wrenching pain came from his feet. The moment his worn-out clothes were ignited by the flames, his skin began to suffer.
Once, twice, three times...
When Chen Xi walked to the fifth fire stone, there was no flesh and blood in the soles of his feet. The sound of his bones stepping on the stone was so slight and so clear. The sound penetrated into Chen Xi's ears and couldn't be removed. It seemed that he was already numb. Chen Xi bit his bloody lips and stepped onto the sixth fire stone.
With a click, the ankle of the left foot was burned by the fire, and the bones of the foot were thrown on the stone, and it was soon burned to black.
Chen Xi couldn't hold back and threw himself on the fire stone.
Then, his chest, lower abdomen, and skin on his face began to be furrowed and then turned black and fell off.
Chen Xi began to climb upwards.
By the time of the sixteenth fire stone, Chen Xi's arms and legs were only half of the original length. By the time of the twenty-fire stone, there was no flesh or blood on his face, only the bones left. His eyes were slightly rotating in his eye sockets, and he was still firm.
By the time of the 24th fire stone, Chen Xi could no longer find any flesh and blood on his body, and even his internal organs were burned to death.
A broken skeleton continued to climb upwards.
...

Qingliangshan
Purple Qi Donglai Pavilion
An old man wearing a moon-white robe, holding a chess piece, suddenly stopped, and turned his head slightly to look at the mountain. It was the Sixth Court of the Outer Sect of Xiaomantian Sect, and it was also the Gaiyun Tower. He had not made any move for a long time, and Zhou Jiuzhi, who was sitting in front of him, couldn't help but whisper: "Sect Master, it's your turn."
The old man in white robe and white beard couldn't help but smile: "No wonder you came to play chess with me. It turned out that he had some intentions."
Zhou Jiuzhi also laughed: "Sect Master, don't laugh. The more you laugh, I know the more angry you are. If you smile with kind eyes for a while, I'm afraid I can't bear it."
“What impresses you?”
The old man with white robe and white beard asked: "Why can you break the rules of the sect at all times?"
Zhou Jiuzhi smiled embarrassedly: "Play chess first. After the game is over, perhaps the sect leader will understand how big a treasure I have picked up."
"He reached the second floor tower, but only one skull was left."
The sect leader made a move and slaughtered a big dragon in Zhou Jiuzhi: "You are unstable, which means you don't seem so confident."
Zhou Jiuzhi's face changed: "How could it be so strong? When Fu Jinglun went up to the second-level tower, he just burned his skin and his flesh and blood still existed."
But the sect leader said, "It's your turn to make a move."
Zhou Jiuqi threw the remaining black pieces in his hand into the jade plate and shook his head: "I lost."
The sect leader smiled and said, "You lost the chess game, but you may not lose the chess move outside... Test the stone steps, and when you meet the strong, you will be strong. Zhou Jiuzhi, your Qingwu Academy has been suppressed by Su Xiaosu's Huangluan Academy for so many years. This time it seems that you are about to turn over. If he can go up to the fourth-level tower, I will spare you the sin of the two of you."
Zhou Jiuzhi was shocked: "The sect leader...the students from the outer sect can climb the fourth-level tower, never!"
The sect leader glanced at him and said seriously: "Do you think it's so easy to break the rules?"
He waved his sleeves and said, "Let everyone in the Sixth Court of the Outer School see how perseverance and ambition this young man has."
