Chapter 259: Sneaking into the Tower of Babel
After listening to the information Xuan Zhao told in bits and pieces, Ni Kun pondered for a while, and asked and compared it twice again, until he could not squeeze out more information. He then searched Xuan Zhao's body and found a "token", then raised his hand and used the "Five Finger Mountain" to seal him in.
As a true disciple of the Blood Evil Sect, Xuan Zhao naturally possesses secret rebirth techniques such as the "Blood Pool Rebirth Method".
Apart from the "Seven Arrows Book", Ni Kun currently has no other magical power that can follow the cause and effect relationship and completely kill the enemy.
It would be too uneconomical to waste time and energy to completely wipe out a mere true disciple using the Seven Arrows Book.
Therefore, in order to prevent Xuan Zhao from being reborn and revealing the secret after being killed, Ni Kun had no choice but to suppress and seal him temporarily.
"Sir, the Tower of Babel is full of demons and there is a 'Son of God' level demon in charge. It is not a good place. Should we find some helpers first and then explore the Tower of Babel?" Diao Chan asked softly.
Just now, Ni Kun asked Xuan Zhao which powerful people were in charge of the Tower of Babel. Xuan Zhao said that there was always a "Son of God"-level boss on duty in the Tower of Babel all year round.
The one who has been guarding the Tower of Babel for the past ten years is Yuan Miaohua, the holy son of the Hehuan Sect.
In addition, even if other saints are not on duty, they will occasionally come to the Tower of Babel to relax and have fun, or to trade treasures and resources.
However, before Xuan Zhao arrived at Madam White Bone's cave, he was enjoying himself in the Tower of Babel, and he had not heard that any other Saint Son-level figures would arrive recently.
But even if there were no other Saint Son-level demons, the Saint Son of the Hehuan Sect alone was an extraordinary figure.
Even compared with the Blood Evil Sect, the Long Night Sect, and the True Immortal Sect, the Hehuan Sect's cultivators are not very good at fighting, but Yuan Miaohua's cultivation level of a saint son is real, and he has a powerful magic weapon. At least with Ni Kun's current cultivation level, he will definitely not be able to defeat him in a head-on confrontation, and at most he can only take a few moves from the opponent.
Of course, Ni Kun did not go to Dongsheng Shenzhou without external help.
When Xuanzang gave him the time and space coordinates of Dongsheng Shenzhou, he also taught him a magic spell.
As long as you cast the spell, you can trigger the induction of the guardian temple and get support from the guardians.
"Dongsheng Shenzhou has been completely destroyed. Once a guardian-level power descends, it will immediately alarm the extraterritorial demons guarding this place. So unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to summon guardians."
Ni Kun played with a blood-colored jade pendant and said slowly:
"Although there are Saint Son-level demons guarding the Tower of Babel, we are here to practice seriously and not to cause trouble. What are we afraid of?"
Xiaoqing frowned and said:
"But how can we enter the Tower of Babel if we don't have an identity?
"Xuan Zhao said that apart from the group of demons from outside the domain or their servants, the others who could enter the Tower of Babel were either blood food captured by the demons or slaves they captured...
"Even if we get Xuan Zhao's token of entry and exit to the Tower of Babel, it won't be that easy to sneak into the tower, right?"
Diao Chan also said:
“Xuan Zhao’s token is only a certificate for entering and exiting the gate of the Tower of Babel. It can only protect us from being attacked by the forbidden formation of the Tower of Babel.
“How can we deal with the demons in the tower?
"After all, we are not one of their own, and we don't have the Heavenly Demon Curse Mark on us. A Heavenly Demon with a little bit of cultivation will be able to see that there is something wrong with us."
"It is enough to have a token of proof, to be able to enter and exit the gate freely, and not be attacked by restrictions."
Ni Kun laughed:
"As for the demons in the tower, don't worry, they won't ask about our origins."
Xiaoqing and Diao Chan were confused, but seeing that he looked confident, they decided not to ask more questions and just let him decide everything.
After making a plan, Ni Kun did not rush to Huaguo Mountain. He first found a clean cave to rest and recuperate, and refined the magic weapons that Diao Chan and Xiaoqing had obtained.
Diao Chan and Xiao Qing had only initially refined the Five-Color Stone and the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword. If they wanted to refine the magic weapons to the point where they could use them as easily as their own arms and unleash greater power, they would still need to spend some time deepening the refinement.
Ni Kun also worked hard to practice and improve his physical fitness.
Half a month later.
According to the map provided by Xuan Zhao, Ni Kun silently calculated the distance and direction, took out the magic pen, drew a door, and took Diao Chan and Xiao Qing through the door. In a blink of an eye, they arrived thousands of miles away.
After that, he took a short breath, calculated the distance and direction, made sure the direction was correct, and then drew the door again.
The Dongsheng Shenzhou is vast. Even though it was shattered into pieces when the extraterritorial demons invaded, the existing fragments used as a trial ground are still incredibly large.
From the White Bone Lady's cave to the Flower-Fruit Mountain, the distance between them is hundreds of thousands of miles. If one flies, not only will the distance be long, but the dangerous and forbidden areas where some powerful monsters reside along the way will be a huge trouble.
Fortunately, Ni Kun has a magic pen, relatively accurate coordinates of the destination, and the ability to deduce and calculate. He can directly draw a door with the magic pen and travel thousands of miles in an instant, avoiding dangerous places where big monsters are entrenched, so as to avoid complications.
In this way, Ni Kun kept painting all the way, taking occasional breaks to recuperate. In just one day, he had crossed hundreds of thousands of miles and arrived at the shore of the East China Sea in Dongsheng Shenzhou, a hundred miles away from Huaguo Mountain.
Even though they were still a hundred miles away from the Flower-Fruit Mountain, when Ni Kun and the other two looked in the direction of the Flower-Fruit Mountain, they could already see a giant tower that supported the ground and reached the sky. It extended from the ground all the way up to the clouds, and the top of the tower was almost invisible at a glance.
“What a huge pagoda!”
Xiao Qing put her hands on the awning and looked at the towering tower in the distance, she was stunned for a moment.
“It’s spectacular outside, but it’s even more interesting inside the tower.”
Ni Kun smiled and tapped the reincarnation watch: "Xiao Qing, come in."
Xiaoqing nodded, turned into a green light, and entered the pet space of the reincarnation watch.
Putting away Xiaoqing, Ni Kun said to Diao Chan:
"Diao Chan, you may suffer a little from now on."
Ni Kun had the means to ensure that he would not be noticed by the extraterritorial demons. As for Xiao Qing, she could hide in the pet space of the reincarnation watch. Diao Chan could only brush her into the five-colored divine light and stay there in a daze.
Diao Chan smiled sweetly:
"Sir, just let go and do what you want. I can bear the little pain."
Ni Kun nodded, and a five-colored divine light swept down, sweeping Diao Chan into the divine light.
After that, he did not put on any disguise, but took big strides and headed towards the Flower-Fruit Mountain.
When I arrived at the foot of the mountain and looked up, I saw that this Flower-Fruit Mountain was worthy of being the former home of the Monkey King. It was indeed a beautiful mountain.
This mountain is surrounded by fairy mist and spiritual fog like gauze.
There are strange peaks and steep mountains, bamboo forests, strange pines and cypresses, and magical grasses.
In the deep valleys and ravines, there are waterfalls pouring down, like white dragons and hanging rainbows. There are exotic flowers and fruits growing all over the mountains, with a refreshing fragrance, and there are magical birds and beasts chasing and playing everywhere.
Although the demons from outside the domain occupied this mountain, they also liked the beautiful scenery of the mountain and did not turn it into a gloomy ghost domain. The original beautiful scenery of the Flower-Fruit Mountain was still preserved.
However, there was no monkey demon with magical powers in the mountains. There were only some wild monkeys with a little spirituality, living together with all kinds of spiritual birds and beasts.
"The Monkey King was injured and turned into a stone monkey, and his cave was occupied by the demons from outside the realm. I'm afraid his monkeys and descendants have also become blood food for the demons from outside the realm."
Ni Kun shook his head, walked up the Flower-Fruit Mountain, and headed straight for the Tower of Babel built on the top of the mountain.
In fact, when one took the first step onto the Flower-Fruit Mountain, one had already stepped into the restricted area of the Tower of Babel.
As long as one's cultivation exceeds a certain level and one does not have any proof or token of proof, or the Heavenly Demon Curse Seal, the restriction will be triggered.
However, the mountain restrictions only serve as a warning and do not have offensive or defensive capabilities. Even if the restrictions are triggered, they will only serve as a warning to the extraterritorial demons in the Tower of Babel.
As for the blood-colored jade pendant that Ni Kun wore on his waist as a token of his identity, it began to emit a faint light since he went up the mountain. After searching through the forbidden system, it was found that it did not trigger the alarm.
Ni Kun had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery of the Flower-Fruit Mountain. He went straight to the top of the mountain and soon arrived at the foot of the Tower of Babel. He swaggered towards the tower gate.
On the left and right sides of the tower gate stood four gods, each eight feet tall, wearing precious armor, mighty and ferocious, holding a pipa, an umbrella, a sword, and a small animal.
They were the Four Heavenly Kings of the South Gate of Heaven. Now they have been controlled by the devil, but they still continue to do their old job and guard the Tower of Babel.
Under normal circumstances, for a stranger like Ni Kun, even if there were credentials or tokens, the Four Heavenly Kings would have come up and questioned his identity and origin.
However, when Ni Kun swaggered over, the Four Heavenly Kings, who were loyally performing their duties with their eyes wide open and watching him eagerly, seemed not to see him and allowed him to pass through the gate and enter the door.
There is no doubt that Ni Kun used the "Akalin Technique".
This technique is extremely magical. It can greatly reduce the sense of presence, making oneself inconspicuous and causing people to subconsciously ignore one's existence.
Of course, if you want to make the highly skilled monks, immortals, gods, and demons ignore you, you naturally have to spend enough lifespan.
This time, Ni Kun spent ten years in one go, and his presence was so slight that the Four Heavenly Kings ignored him.
The guard ignored his presence and had an "access card" on him, so Ni Kun walked into the Tower of Babel easily, came to the hall on the ground floor, looked around, and walked towards one of the flying stone stairs.
The flying stone ladder is similar to an elevator, except that it is a suspended flying stone that carries people. When you stand on the flying stone and say the floor you want to go to, the flying stone ladder will start to move immediately and carry you to your destination.
"Go to the eighteenth floor."
Ni Kun said calmly.
The eighteenth floor is where Xuan Zhao’s room is located.
Soon, the flying stone stairs quickly ascended and brought Ni Kun to the eighteenth floor.
Ni Kun walked out of the flying stone stairs, along a corridor emitting soft white light, and came to an antique wooden door. He took out the blood-colored jade pendant, gently brushed it on the wooden door, and the door opened silently.
Ni Kun walked in without hesitation and closed the door behind him, but did not go any further. Instead, he raised his hand and sent out a ray of five-colored divine light, which brushed inside.
Inside the room, there are restrictions left by Xuan Zhao personally, and these restrictions cannot be lifted by a "access card".
Even if one finds out the details of the restriction, it would be difficult to lift it easily if one is not familiar with the Blood Evil Sect's skills.
But this did not pose a problem for Ni Kun. With a flash of the five-colored divine light, all the restrictions in the room disappeared in an instant.
After clearing the restrictions, Ni Kun stepped into the room, only to find that it was a completely different world inside, a small plane with pavilions, towers, ponds, rockery, flower beds and gardens.
This is not Xuan Zhao’s own “small dimension”.
There is a different world inside the Tower of Babel, which contains hundreds of "small worlds" and tens of thousands of "demi-planes".
Those small worlds all have complete ecological systems, but they are just small worlds on a smaller scale.
The "Thunder Pool of Creation" that Xuan Zhao mentioned is in one of the small thousand worlds and belongs to the True Immortal Daoxuan Wuyue.
It is not difficult to enter and practice. As long as you have a guarantee from a big boss with sufficient status and pay enough fees, you can enter.
As for demiplanes, they can be large or small.
The larger ones cover hundreds or thousands of square kilometers, enough to accommodate a big city.
The smaller ones, like Xuan Zhao's room, are only a few dozen or a hundred acres in size.
"The Tower of Babel is a great place! If we can seize this tower, refine it, and bring it back to the Tang Dynasty, my concubines and beauties will have a place to live. There is so much space in the tower, they can live wherever they want, and they don't have to run into each other, so there will be fewer conflicts..."
Ni Kun walked among the pavilions and towers with his hands behind his back, inspecting this small piece of land that now belonged to him, and dreamed in his heart:
"The Six-Fingered Demon King built six crystal palaces to house his countless concubines. If I could get this tower, wouldn't I be even more extravagant than the Six-Fingered Demon King?
"Unfortunately, Xuan Zhao knows nothing about the origin and ownership of this tower. I want to seize this tower. With my current cultivation level, even that of a Saint Son, I am afraid I am not capable of it..."
In this case, Ni Kun can only fantasize for the time being.
Although the environment of this "room" is beautiful, there are no treasures that can increase the level of cultivation - the cultivators of the Blood Evil Sect can increase their cultivation level simply by eating humans. Any natural treasures, even magical weapons, once they get their hands, almost all end up in their stomachs and are devoured by them.
The only treasure Xuan Zhao had was the "Blood-Transforming Divine Sword".
Of course, there is no treasure in this room.
After searching for a while, Ni Kun found nothing and shook his head helplessly:
"Tsk, the Blood Evil Sect monks have a great appetite and eat almost everything. It is almost impossible to get spoils when fighting with them. Fortunately, I am a reserve reincarnationist. Even if I don't get spoils, at least I can get Origin Crystals and Reincarnation Points as rewards."
Arriving at a bedroom, Ni Kun first released Xiao Qing, and then released Diao Chan from the five-colored divine light.
Release them both, and wait for Diao Chan to regain consciousness. Ni Kun said:
"Just wait here, I'll go out and check out the situation."
Xiaoqing and Diao Chan knew that the Tower of Babel was full of dangers and that only Ni Kun could come and go freely, so they did not say that they wanted to go on an adventure with him, but just nodded in agreement.
Ni Kun left the room, closed the door with his backhand, and went to the flying stone staircase. On the way, he ran into several extraterritorial demons, who all ignored him. Ni Kun waited for those extraterritorial demons to leave on the flying stone staircase before he sat on a flying stone staircase and said:
"Go to the 666th floor."
The flying stone stairs ascended silently and soon reached the 666th floor.
Ni Kun turned into a corridor, walked along the jade-paved corridor all the way to the end, and came to a huge double stone door.
Behind this door is the small world where the "Thunder Pool of Creation" is located.
There was no guard at the door, but Ni Kun knew that this door was restricted and was part of the Tower of Babel, and it could not be opened with a access card.
If you want to break in the door by force, you cannot do that unless you have the strength to break through the entire restriction of the Tower of Babel.
If you want to enter normally, you have to pay a fee and place it on the tongue of a Taotie relief with its mouth wide open on the stone gate.
Speaking of this cost, Ni Kun was a little surprised that it was actually called "Origin Crystal" and was also divided into grades.
You have to pay a golden origin crystal to stay in for a quarter of an hour. Two crystals can keep you in for half an hour.
For those below the gold grade, forget it, the door won't open at all.
Ni Kun didn’t know whether the origin crystal that the extraterritorial demons mentioned was the same as his origin crystal.
But even if it is the same thing, all his Origin Crystals are just book wealth in the Samsara Watch, and he has never seen the actual Origin Crystals.
He wanted to try to see if he could convert the wealth on paper into something real and then invest money in it.
But if you think about it, why waste money?
Just wait at the door, and when someone comes to pay and go in, follow them in.
So Ni Kun stood by the door and waited patiently.
