Chapter 789
Yi Tianyun entered the tower and noticed that it was extremely s.p.a.cious inside. He could see a vast gra.s.sland in the distance and a forest not too far from it. He could also see a huge city as big as a capital city at the centre of the s.p.a.ce. But the most intriguing thing that he could see was the rotating ladder that led to the sky and disappeared behind the clouds.
When Yi Tianyun took a step, the sky suddenly shone, and a bright light appeared on his arms. Suddenly, a flame burned on his arms and left a mark that looked like the fire itself! “What is this?” Yi Tianyun asked confusedly to Fan Xuexuan.
“This is the Flame Imprint! In the past, only those who possessed this imprint could come and go inside the Ancient Netherworld Divine Nation. But now, this Flame imprint was used to get past a level. In other words, without this imprint, you won’t be able to get to the higher city inside the tower.” Fan Xuexuan said solemnly.
“I didn’t know the rules could be changed like that!” Yi Tianyun frowned. It wasn’t a surprise that such a thing would happen, but it was sad to see such a powerful Ancient Netherworld Divine Nation would fall and be reduced to something like this.
“Well, it is the truth. A long time ago, Ancient Netherworld Divine Nation was the stronger Divine Nation on Ghost World, but as our bloodline diminished over the year, followed by the death of our Tower Master, everything changed for the worse. A group of strong people barged in and began killing the disciple with strong bloodline and took over the tower for themselves!” Fan Xuexuan said with a glimmer of sadness on her face.
Yi Tianyun nodded as he understood the situation at that time. It would be a complete nightmare for the Ancient Netherworld Divine Nation at that time. The death of the tower master made it easier for the enemy to take control over the matter as they could just reconstruct the rules for themselves! It was unfortunate, but it was the right decision from the Ancient Netherworld Divine King’s bloodline to flee this tower in the past in order to ensure the survival of Ancient Netherworld Divine King’s bloodline!
“Those monsters that drove them out of their own place… Was it the Evil Spirit Race?” Yi Tianyun wondered to himself. It was something that Yi Tianyun suspected as soon as he heard Fan Xuexuan’s story because only Evil Spirit Race had the ability to check other’s bloodlines and took advantage of it. These people had the ability to take over someone else’s bloodline, so gaining access to the tower wasn’t something difficult for them to do.
“Wait, Evil Spirit Race? Did you already know about them? I thought no one knew about them! If it weren’t for them, our Ancient Netherworld Divine Nation wouldn’t fall! They killed our best cultivators and even drove our bloodline away from the tower and took over everything that we have!” Fan Xuexuan said with a furious look on her face.
“Of course, I already knew about them. I can sense that there is a lot of Evil Spirit Race residing in that city in front of us. I never expect the Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower that once served as the best place to protect humankind from the demon has become the Evil Spirit Race territory. This is ironic!” Yi Tianyun frowned. “But it doesn’t matter, the Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower is a top grade artefact nonetheless, so it should be impossible for the Evil Spirit Race to fool the Tool Spirit that manages the tower!” Yi Tianyun said casually.
“There is no such thing! The Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower didn’t have any Tool Spirit!” Fan Xuexuan said with a frown on his face.
“What? There is no Tool Spirit in this tower? Was it because your ancestor lacked the power to summon the spirit?” Yi Tianyun said with a frown clearer on his face as he couldn’t believe what he just heard.
Fan Xuexuan was quiet as she didn’t give Yi Tianyun any answer regarding the matter. Now that she thought about it carefully, there was no way a top-notch artifact like Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower wouldn’t have any management on its own. Certainly, her ancestor would be the inadequate one that failed to wake the Tool Spirit in the past!
The Tool Spirit wasn’t something that you could have attained as soon as a cultivator become the master of the artifact. It was something that had to be awakened by mastering the artifact itself! Since Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower didn’t have any Tool Spirit, that meant the previous master of the tower has failed to master the tower.
“So, this is the main reason why the Ancient Netherworld Divine Nation has fallen! The previous master failed to awaken the Tool Spirit and couldn’t react to the invasion of Evil Spirit Race in time!” Yi Tianyun said coldly. He was surprised and therefore angry at the Spirit Race that stole the Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower for their own.
“You now know everything about Ancient Netherworld Divine Nation’s embarra.s.sing past! I beg of you to help me regain control over Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower! If we succeed, you will be rewarded handsomely!” Fan Xuexuan said sincerely.
“Relax, just believe me, I will purge the tower from Evil Spirit Race soon!” Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face.
...
“Are you sure? I am looking for someone I can trust! If you aren’t up for the task, you are free to go! I won’t force you to fight my fight, but if you keep your promise to hide my real ident.i.ty, I will be grateful.” Fan Xuexuan said lightly. She didn’t want to force anyone out of their will, which was why she questioned Yi Tianyun’s willingness as it was too quick!
“You are brave, but don’t you worry, I don’t have any intention to back down! So, tell me everything about the rules in this place so I can decapitate every Evil Spirit Race on this place!” Yi Tianyun said as he grabbed Fan Xuexuan’s hands.
