Chapter 247 Giant Tower (Requesting Monthly Pass)
Misty Mountain, Wayless Sect.
Atop the Ancestral Master Hall.
Chu Yuan was squatting beneath the Sect Master's throne.
He looked at the four items laid out before him.
A small tower, a jade pendant, a sphere, and a piece of paper resembling an invitation.
These four items were the rewards from the grand competition among thousands of sects.
But Chu Yuan had no idea what these four things were for.
Apart from the invitation, Chu Yuan had attempted to infuse mana into the other three to see if there would be any effects.
The result was that he found no effects whatsoever.
He did, however, feel a faint sense of feedback.
It was as if these three objects were disdainful of his weak mana and didn't care to bother with him.
This made Chu Yuan extremely frustrated.
He didn't know what to do with these three items anymore.
"Looking down on me? Today you dismiss me, but tomorrow when I become invincible, you'll be too high and mighty to reach."
Chu Yuan muttered to himself.
He still couldn't figure out what these three objects were.
Having no choice, Chu Yuan thought to put away the items and take a look at the invitation first.
Just as he picked up the small tower, the jade pendant, and the sphere.
Suddenly, all three items shook at once, as if they were about to fly out of his hands.
Chu Yuan paused, stopping his motion to put the items back into his storage bag, and looked down blankly at the three objects in his hand.
What was the situation with these three items…?
He hadn't received any messages.
But he could vaguely sense it.
The items seemed to want to go somewhere.
Chu Yuan looked up in the direction the three items in his hands seemed to be pointing.
It seemed to be...
towards those closed palaces and buildings of the Wayless Sect.
What did these three items want to do there?
Chu Yuan was slightly stunned.
But he didn't think too much about it, as he had no idea what was going on.
He clutched the three treasures and tossed the invitation back into his storage bag.
Following the vibrating sensation from the items, he walked out of the Ancestral Master Hall.
He wanted to see what exactly the treasures wanted to do.
As soon as Chu Yuan exited the Ancestral Master Hall,
the vibrating feeling from the three items in his hand intensified, as if urging him to walk faster.
"All right, all right, what's the rush? Weren't you all cold and indifferent just now, treating me with disdain, thinking I, a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, wasn't good enough for you? And now you're all obediently begging me to take you there."
Chu Yuan grumbled as he quickened his pace toward those closed palaces of the Wayless Sect.
The three items paid no attention to Chu Yuan's grumbling and vibrated more intensely, as if they were guiding him.
He arrived at the cluster of closed palaces.
What met his eyes were a series of sealed doors of the halls.
Chu Yuan had never needed to store anything in these halls, so they were naturally in a state of closure.
The only ones that were open were the Hall of Law Transmission and the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
And now, out of the blue, these three items were making him come here.
"What now? What do you want to do?"
Chu Yuan looked down at the three items, wanting to know what exactly they wanted to do.
Buzzing...
The three treasures lying in the palm of Chu Yuan's hand buzzed and suddenly soared into the air.
They turned into streams of light and quickly descended in front of one of the palaces, appearing to want to enter.
But the tightly closed door blocked them, preventing any entry.
Chu Yuan also approached the palace door, wanting to see what exactly the three items were trying to do.
He formed a secret art with his hands and injected it into the palace door, easily opening it.
The entire sect was a gift from the System.
Of course, he knew how to open the doors of each palace.
Chu Yuan opened the palace door to make way and watched the three items intently.
The treasures wasted no time and flew straight into the interior of the palace.
Chu Yuan hurriedly followed.
As soon as he walked in, he saw the small tower suddenly grow immense, bursting into dazzling arrays of light.
The blinding light forced Chu Yuan to involuntarily close his eyes.
A good while later,
the light gradually dissipated.
When Chu Yuan opened his eyes again and looked forward,
he was somewhat taken aback.
He vaguely remembered that this palace was completely empty, not even a stone platform inside, just an open space.
But now, directly in front of him, a giant tower appeared.
Both the base and the spire of the tower were buried underground and above, completely out of sight, with only a segment of the tower body visible.
The body of the tower was enormous, carved with some unknown golden runes.
At that moment, the door of the giant tower was open, as if inviting Chu Yuan to enter.
However, Chu Yuan couldn't snap back to reality; he stared blankly at the giant tower.
It was so small a moment ago.
And now it suddenly became so large?
Chu Yuan was befuddled.
Meanwhile, the jade pendant rushed into the tower and disappeared without a trace.
Only the hanging sphere, rotating in mid-air, remained.
The sphere seemed to be hesitating about something.
After a short pause,
it shot straight into the tower body like the jade pendant had, vanishing from sight.
Chu Yuan stood there alone, watching everything unfold. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
Once everything had settled, he finally came to his senses.
"What's this about? What in the world were that jade pendant and sphere? They just disappear without a word?"
Chu Yuan was stunned, looking up at the tower's great door, unsure of what to make of it.
Just then,
the door of the giant tower flickered with light, seemingly beckoning Chu Yuan to enter.
After considering his options, Chu Yuan decided to go into the tower to have a look.
He carefully walked through the great door of the tower.
The moment his footsteps crossed the threshold, the tower doors closed instantly.
Chu Yuan: "..."
Why did this feel like a trap to lure him in?
