Yi Tianyun already knew to some extent that they were up to no good, but he still wanted to approach them for the benefit of the doubt! But it turned out it was all for naught all as these people still choose to attack him. Yi Tianyun sighed as killing these people didn’t even yield any experience for him right now!
“Are they trying to go to Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower or are they trying to avoid it?” Yi Tianyun said as he tried to guess where these people were heading. He knew that the Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower gave off dangerous vibe that made it hard for people to come close. But these bandits might know that no one was at the tower and thus tried their luck to use the tower as their base.
They didn’t have to enter the tower to make it their base. If there was really no one inside the tower, they could just use some corner near the base of the tower and settled there! The more dangerous the place was, the safer it was!
According to the Dangerous Zone list that he got from the Phoenix Clan in the past, Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower was ranked the most dangerous of all places in Ghost World! This place was covered with so much Netherworld’s Fire and Heavenly Yin Fire that it couldn’t be easily avoided anymore! It was safe to say that those who came here unprepared would freeze to death!
Although it was such a dangerous territory, many people still tried to come there to search for treasures that might be left behind by Ancient Netherworld Divine Nation before their disappearance. It was rumoured that many Divine Tools and top notch Martial Arts were left behind in the tower. But unfortunately for Ghost World’s cultivators, no one has been able to break into the tower no matter how strong they were!
But after knowing the reality of Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower, Yi Tianyun knew that the tower couldn’t be trespassed like that! According to Sealing Heaven Divine King’s memories, The Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower would only open to those who bore the seal of Ancient Netherworld Divine King or cultivators that had his bloodlines!
This was an absolute rule as the purpose of the tower was to suppress and weaken the Evil Spirit Race and the demon! if this place fell to the wrong hand, Evil Spirit Race might end up conquering the three realms!
Then again, many people still foolishly come to the tower, hoping that they would be able to conquer the tower for themselves, but sadly perished under the harsh environment ! As time went by, the notoriety of this place finally made cultivators hesitate to challenge it, but there were some rare occasions where cultivators would come there out of desperation or, like the group earlier, crime!
Yi Tianyun looked around and he saw that there were several other groups that already noticed his presence but didn’t have what it took to come close! It was obvious that they were scared of Yi Tianyun after what he has done earlier, but Yi Tianyun didn’t care. These people surely didn’t hold any information he wanted. He knew that the best thing that he could do right now was to reach Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower himself.
So, without hesitation, Yi Tianyun rushed over to the tower. He noticed that the tower was getting even bigger as he got closer to it. At the same time, Yi Tianyun also noticed that the tower was actually surrounded by a huge city! Yi Tianyun wondered how many cultivators did the city shelter at its prime time.
“This Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower is surely a grand palace for a Divine Nation!” YI Tianyun said in awe as he looked around the city and the tower itself! As he got closer to the tower, he saw two huge chains in the side of the tower and several cultivators that tried to climb them.
Yi Tianyun also saw that there was was a door at the end of the chains. It seemed that door was the entrance of this Divine Tower, making entry a little bit complicated than he thought. The chains itself seemed like a test as Netherworld’s Fire was constantly discharged from the Chain and froze any unfortunate soul that couldn’t dodge it well enough. It was actually very hard thing to do as the cultivator must be able to either resist or suppress the Netherworld’s Fire so that the Netherworld’s Fire wouldn’t harm them! If they didn’t have anything in that regard, they wouldn’t be able to go up!
After walking towards the chains, Yi Tianyun saw that a figure was dropping fast from the sky! He quickly caught the cultivator before they met their doom and Yi Tianyun noticed that the cultivator was wrapped in black robe. He couldn’t see the cultivator’s appearance but he let them down to the ground gently.
“Thank you very much, kind sir!” The cultivator said sweetly. From the sound of it, the cultivator that Yi Tianyun had just saved was a woman. After expressing her gratitude, the woman climbed the chain once more, not bothering to rest at all! Yi Tianyun frowned as soon as he saw what the woman was doing. He didn’t understand what the woman was doing, climbing the chain recklessly like this. but he calmed himself down and observed the woman again using his Appraisal Eye.
Fan Xuexuan: 7th Layer Spirit Core Cultivator with Ancient Netherworld Divine King Bloodline.
“She is the descendant of Ancient Netherworld Divine King!?” Yi Tianyun was startled by the information he got from the Appraisal Eye. The Appraisal Eye could see the cultivator’s bloodline, but it got a little complicated in Evil Spirit Race case as they could have several bloodlines at once, so the Appraisal Eye could give inaccurate data because of that!
Yi Tianyun looked around and tried to see others’ bloodline, but none of them had Ancient Netherworld Divine King’s bloodline like the woman earlier. As he frowned and observed Fan Xuexuan closely, he notice that the woman’s hand was blue, clearly from frostbite. But she still climbed the chains diligently no matter how difficult it was. She obviously lack the Cultivation Base needed to clear this challenge by herself!
Fortunately, the Netherworld’s Fire didn’t seems to have any effect on her, but the climbing itself was tough!
Yi Tianyun saw all of this as strange as he didn’t understand why would the Descendant of Ancient Netherworld Divine King have to climb the chain to enter the tower. Wouldn’t she be able to enter easily with her bloodline?
“I have to make my way up there! I have to get our things back!” Fan Xuexuan said while gritted her teeth in determination. But she didn’t climb the chain very far before she fell down once again. She tried to grip the chain desperately, but her palm slipped due to her blood that covered her hands.
Yi Tianyun’s frowns became clearer as he admired Fan Xuexuan’s determination! But her action was still too reckless to deserve a compliment!
