Chapter 66 The Tower of Ten Thousand Laws
Chapter 66 The Tower of Ten Thousand Laws
Seeing that Chen Liang and his second clone had finally emerged from the Ice and Fire Path, Qingyi Jushi, Jiyin, and Manhuzi greeted them with beaming smiles.
The bearded man said casually, "Brother Mo, you've finally come out. Hurry up and bring out your Jade Spirit Wine; we haven't finished that pot yet."
So, the group found a pavilion and sat down.
When Qingyi Jushi and Jiyin saw Chen Liang take out a new pot of Biling wine, their eyes practically lit up.
The bearded man muttered, "You little rascal, you're eating all that food by yourself in private, that's really disloyal..."
However, despite this, it was still the bearded man who drank the most. And this time, he didn't care about restraint; he just wanted to finish the pot of Biling wine in front of him so that Chen Liang wouldn't secretly drink it again.
As a result, before the third trial of the outer hall of the Void Heaven Palace even began, the pot of Jade Spirit Wine that Chen Liang had taken out was already only half full.
Upon seeing this, the bearded man's eyes flickered. He added some snacks to the table and casually remarked, "Brother Mo, the jar of wine you carry with you can hold six jugs."
Now that two jugs have been used, there's almost only half a jar left.
Chen Liang instinctively shook his head, directly exposing the bearded man's little scheme.
"Brother Man, forget about half a jar. This time, I'll give you a pot at most."
The bearded man immediately panicked and said, "Brother Mo, you can't do this! I'm relying on your Jade Spirit Wine to save my life!"
Chen Liang: "Brother Man, don't be in such a hurry. I have two jars of slightly inferior wine that you can use to quench your thirst."
After saying that, Chen Liang took out two jars of newly opened spirit wine.
Chen Liang patted one of the jars and said, "This jar of Jade Spirit Wine is made primarily from thousand-year-old Jade Spirit Fruit. Although its effects are not as good as the Jade Spirit Wine we are drinking now, it is enough to alleviate the pain you usually experience during your body training."
Then, Chen Liang patted another jar of spirit wine and said, "This jar of wine is called Blood Spirit Wine, which has the effect of replenishing qi and blood."
Its brewing method is similar to that of Biling Wine, but its main ingredient is the thousand-year-old Blood Spirit Flower. It is most suitable for Core Formation cultivators, but it also has some effect on Nascent Soul cultivators.
Most importantly, these wines take ten years to mature and thirty years to be truly savored, perfect for quenching your thirst.
Upon hearing this, the bearded man curiously took the jar of Blood Spirit Wine and brought it to his face.
As the bearded man gently removed the lid from the wine jar, a faint aroma of wine wafted out, instantly warming the body and causing a glint of light to flash in his eyes.
The bearded man immediately grabbed the wine jar and started drinking. After a few sips of the pale red Blood Spirit Wine, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, this is fine wine! It's perfect. Brother Mo is so thoughtful; he always knows what his older brother needs."
Meanwhile, Qingyi Jushi and Jiyin watched this scene with great envy.
Upon seeing this, the bearded man quickly put the Blood Spirit Wine in his hand and the Jade Spirit Wine on the table into his storage bag, fearing that if Qingyi Jushi asked, he would take away a few more cups of his good wine.
What the bearded man and the others didn't know was that these wines were simple to brew and didn't need to be buried in a medicinal field that was filled with primordial spiritual energy. They only needed to pile up some medium-grade or higher five-elemental spirit stones around them.
Chen Liang had brewed at least several hundred jars of this wine, so giving a few jars to Manhuzi was no big deal for him.
On the other hand, Qingyi Jushi was no ordinary person either; this old fellow was up to no good.
Once the four portals of this enclosed space light up with teleportation screens, it means that the third level of the outer hall is about to begin.
Taking advantage of the brief moment, Qingyi Jushi swiftly pocketed the remaining half-pot of Biling wine.
By the time Ji Yin realized what was happening, all he could see was Qingyi Jushi's smug expression.
Chen Liang, who originally intended to take back the Biling Wine, reluctantly withdrew his hand upon seeing this.
"These days, even grabbing a few drinks involves so much calculation?"
Just as Ji Yin was feeling depressed, Elder Jia spoke up: "Of these four passages, three can randomly lead to the treasure trove, which contains ancient treasures, elixirs, and cultivation techniques left behind by ancient cultivators."
Once inside the treasure trove, each person has only one chance to take one item before being teleported away.
The remaining passage leads directly to the third level of the outer hall—the Exquisite Illusion. Those who choose that path can only consider themselves unlucky.
If anyone feels it is too dangerous, they may return to this stone hall, and after some time...
Before Elder Jia could finish speaking, Wan Tianming snorted coldly and flew into one of the passages. Tian Wuzi and Mu Tengzi followed suit, each choosing one of the other two passages.
Elder Jia was annoyed at the sight, but he still continued, "After a while, it will automatically teleport out of the Void Heaven Palace."
Upon hearing this, the scattered Core Formation cultivators in the hall surged towards the four passages. They had fought tooth and nail to pass the second trial, so how could they miss the opportunity to claim the rewards for the second trial?
Chen Liang, Ji Yin, Qingyi Jushi, and Manhuzi, among others, also set off, choosing a passage to enter.
Once there was no one else in the stone hall, Elder Jia bowed to Jin Kui and said, "As the Grand Elder predicted, those Nascent Soul cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths have indeed not turned against us."
Jin Kui: "Heh, what they want is the Void Heaven Cauldron, so why would they really care about those ordinary Core Formation cultivators?"
Elder Jia: "The First Elder is right. It's a pity that we can't do anything to the third level of the outer hall, otherwise we should have been able to eliminate those ordinary Core Formation cultivators."
Jin Kui: "It's alright, this is enough. Now, we should get down to the real plan."
Elder Jia: "Yes, Grand Elder."
After saying that, Jin Kui and Elder Jia transformed into golden streaks of light and disappeared into the stone hall.
After passing through the teleportation light screen and strolling along a suspended corridor for a while, another teleportation light screen appeared before Chen Liang's eyes.
After passing through the teleportation light curtain, Chen Liang finally arrived at a treasure trove.
Before Chen Liang stood an elegant library, with the three characters "Wanfa Lou" (meaning "Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion") written in ancient seal script on the plaque.
Upon seeing this name, Chen Liang couldn't help but think of the Myriad Laws Sect, the number one righteous sect in the Chaotic Star Sea. He figured the founder of the Myriad Laws Sect must have visited this place, so he subconsciously referenced its name when naming his sect.
The Wanfa Tower has seven floors. When Chen Liang entered the first floor, he saw various books, bamboo slips, jade books, jade tablets, animal hides and gold pages, and other inherited items displayed on bookshelves or placed on some tables.
These inherited items are all bound by restrictions. Through his divine sense, Chen Liang can only see a portion of their contents. If he were to try to grab them or rashly break the restrictions, he would likely be teleported away immediately.
However, Chen Liang was prepared for this problem.
Chen Liang first carefully observed the restrictions on these inherited items, and after confirming that they were roughly as he had expected, he used his divine sense to scan all the inherited items in the Myriad Laws Pavilion, selecting some that interested him.
Then, Chen Liang followed the original plan and wrapped these inherited items with five-colored divine light.
The restrictions on these inherited items and the teleportation restrictions throughout the Myriad Laws Tower are only connected through certain specific changes in spiritual energy.
Therefore, after Chen Liang wrapped these inherited items with the Five-Colored Divine Light, he could prevent them from connecting. Moreover, he could also use the Five-Colored Divine Light to break the restrictions on the inherited items.
After the restrictions are broken, not only will the contents of these inherited items be fully revealed to Chen Liang, but Chen Liang can also put them into his storage bag and take them away.
After thoroughly searching the Wanfa Tower using this method, Chen Liang finally arrived at the location of the mechanism he had discovered.
As Chen Liang turned a lamp holder, a teleportation array appeared beneath his feet, transporting him to another Myriad Laws Building.
To be precise, this is an upside-down Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion. It's located directly beneath the previous Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion, and every cultivator who comes here can see it.
However, under the divine restriction on the wall, if one doesn't even understand the basics of worldly mechanisms or if no one tells them the location of the mechanism beforehand, then one has no chance to enter this place.
This upside-down Wanfa Tower doesn't have many inherited items, but every single one is a masterpiece. Chen Liang was immediately captivated just by looking at a portion of the contents.
So Chen Liang used the same trick again, putting all the inherited items in the Wanfa Tower that interested him into his storage bag.
Then, Chen Liang casually grabbed a jade book and activated the restrictions here to teleport him out.
