Chapter 57 The Secret of the Secret Tower
That day, the water level was close to the shoulders. Bai Fei and the two girls carefully stepped onto the 18th floor. Fortunately, the monsters inside were all walking on the ground. At this time, the water level rose violently, and the danger inside was completely eliminated.
Although the 18th floor of the Secret Tower of Ten Thousand Methods is very large, after their careful search, except for a few boxes, they did not find any other rare treasures. Bai Fei saw that these boxes were not corroded by water, and knew that they must be extraordinary things, so he took them for himself without hesitation.
They sat in the wheel and followed the water level to gradually rise. After the water level occupied the entire 18th floor, the teleportation array leading to the 17th floor was immediately opened. They took advantage of the situation and sank to the ground, following the teleportation array into the 17th floor. layer. A few months later, they had arrived at the 14th floor, but there was nothing on this floor. Not to mention the treasure chest, not even the shadow of the monster was seen. It didn't take much to think that this place had been looted by others. Apart from Luo Dongling, Bai Fei couldn't think of anyone else who had such ability who entered here. It seemed that her cultivation level had also been greatly improved.
Bai Fei hasn't had time to check what's in those boxes. Adding the boxes he got on the 17th, 16th and 15th floors, he now has nearly 20 boxes. After seeing that there was nothing on the 14th floor, he immediately collected the roulette wheel and teleported all the way along the teleportation array, finally arriving at the first floor. Only then did they start to open the boxes one by one in earnest.
There are no artifacts, no precious medicinal materials, no heaven-defying techniques, and no crystal stones, only elixirs. Yes, every box contained elixirs, all kinds of elixirs, some of which they had never seen before, and there were no labels on them, so they couldn't recognize them.
In one of the boxes, some of the secrets of the Myriad Secret Tower are recorded. Other secrets may have been cracked long ago, but they have not been handed down. In that description, Bai Fei finally knew what the space tunnel in which they almost died was used for.
There is a mechanism on the first floor of the Secret Tower of Ten Thousand Methods. This mechanism can be used artificially to open the space tunnel once every thousand years. When the water fills the first floor, the mechanism will automatically repair and restart to open the space tunnel again, and the water will Nature enters the passage and returns to the ground, and so on. Over nearly a thousand years, the spiritual energy solidifies and the water level returns, completing a big cycle.
After careful exploration, Bai Fei finally found the mechanism, but unfortunately it was damaged. It seemed that the space tunnel could not be opened until that moment was reached. Bai Fei came up with another bold idea. If they used a barrier to seal the entrance to the space tunnel, could they use the pressure of water to open a gap on the top of the tower and escape? Because he had already tested it three days ago, and for some unknown reason, his teleportation magic did not work at all. It was not even effective inside the tower, let alone transmitted back outside the tower. He did not tell the two girls the bad news. He believed that he would be able to find other ways to escape from the danger. Even if he could not escape, he would only have to stay on the first level for a thousand years. It does not mean that the space tunnel will be opened after the water is full. Wasn’t there a living space at that time? Bai Fei didn't know. He was too naive. If this was really the case, no one would have died here. After practicing for thousands of years, wouldn't the rich spiritual energy here have become spirits? In fact, when the water-filled channel opens, the suction force of the space tunnel is extremely terrifying. Even if you can really resist this suction force, because the spiritual energy of the secret tower is generated from the bottom up, it will not be able to regenerate until the past thousand years. Spiritual energy is generated on the first level, which is why the spiritual energy in the tower increases hundreds or even hundreds of times from top to bottom. Just imagine how long this spiritual energy can last in such a small space on the first level. Once the spiritual energy is exhausted, how can they survive?
Bai Fei didn't know this, and the two girls didn't know it even more.
They immediately returned to the 13th floor and stepped up their practice before the water level reached it. Every time their cultivation level increased by one point, their chances of escaping would increase by one point.
Time flies, one day, one month, one year... Their cultivation has achieved breakthroughs again and again. The spiritual energy has become less and less, and the breakthroughs have become slower and slower. When the water level forced them to the first level, they finally gave up. Practice and prepare to give it a try and reach the sky. At this time, Bai Fei has upgraded the Wild Immortal Fist to level 70, which is the middle stage of the martial arts cultivator's realm. What's even more gratifying is that although he has not deliberately cultivated soul power, his soul cultivation level has also reached the eighth level of Soul Resurrection. layer. With the help of Bai Fei, Huo Nu and Ye Xiuzhi survived the inner demon tribulation one after another, and successively broke through and entered the late stage of Peeping Sky. I don’t know how much of the elixirs in those boxes were wasted by them. Except for those elixirs of unknown origin and efficacy, they were basically consumed by them. But now with such an achievement, it is considered worthwhile.
At this time, five years have passed.
As the space in the secret tower became smaller and smaller, and the water level rose faster and faster, there was not much time for them to waste. Only then did Bai Fei tell the two girls about the failure of the teleportation magic and his plan. Huo Nu and Ye Xiuzhi had no worries or regrets at all. The past few years of getting along day and night had already connected their hearts closely.
The three of them were already veritable strong men at this time. They set up several barriers at the entrance of the space tunnel. These barriers overlapped and reached the highest point to connect with the outside world. At this time, the water level had reached the first floor. Bai Fei took out the roulette wheel and the three of them hid in one after another, looking forward to the arrival of this earth-shattering moment.
Finally, as the water level rose, there was no more space on the first floor. At this time, the mechanism was repaired and the space tunnel was opened. The strong suction did not suck in the water because of the barrier, but the barrier was strongly affected. Bai Fei and the others had been prepared for the pull, and went all out to repair the barrier, continuously inputting vitality into it, and fighting against this heaven-defying suction force. They didn't worry about running out of energy at all. The countless crystal stones in Bai Fei's storage ring finally came into use.
This confrontation lasted for nearly half a year. I don’t know when it started. The suction force became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely. It was replaced by a repulsive force. This repulsive force became stronger and stronger, penetrating along the barrier. At the top, the pressure of the water outside is getting bigger and bigger, and the two pressures are ultimately directed towards the obstruction at the top. If Bai Fei and the others hadn't been extremely skilled at this time, they would never have been able to withstand such a strong pressure, but they still desperately maintained the barrier's resistance. They all knew that as soon as the barrier was breached, all their efforts would be in vain. , at that time, they could not do it again like this. By this time, he had exhausted all the high-grade crystals and special-grade crystals in his storage ring, and even the holy-grade crystals had begun to be used. Under the premise of ensuring safety, he also set his sights on those low-grade crystal stones and medium-grade crystal stones, but the spiritual energy stored in these crystal stones was really pitiful. It was not that he was reluctant to part with those holy-grade crystal stones, but he was worried that they would There was no accident, otherwise he wouldn't want to be in such trouble.
Fortunately, they finally saw the dawn of victory. On that day, a crack finally appeared at the top. As soon as this crack appeared, strong pressure quickly poured in, followed by more cracks, which became larger and deeper. At this time, the pressure on the barrier had been reduced a lot, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally one day, the entire secret tower was crushed by the endless pressure, and they built a solid barrier around the roulette wheel. At this time, the top finally could not withstand these heaven-defying pressures, and then With a shocking loud noise, the top of the wheel collapsed. The roulette wheel rushed upwards with the pressure, but was bounced back by the "Invisible Formation of Ten Thousand Techniques" outside. Once the pressure that has been accumulated for a long time has an outlet to vent, how can this formation resist it? After a while, the pressure broke through the formation, and a huge column of water rushed straight up, pushing the wheel up into the sky.
There are very few people in the Wilderness Realm, and there is no human habitation for hundreds of miles around the Secret Tower of Ten Thousand Methods.
At this time, in the big town where Thousand Faces Hall is located, two girls were competing in martial arts. They were Ouyang Ting and Bai Wan'er. In the past few years, they have settled here, numbing themselves with constant practice, and spending their free time competing with each other to pass the boring time. Their cultivation has also improved, and they have both entered the late stage of immortality.
On this day, they finished practicing and started to spar as usual. Before they competed for a while, an earth-shaking loud noise came from the direction of the Secret Tower of Ten Thousand Methods, and then the whole earth trembled.
They didn't know what happened. Although they felt vaguely inexplicable joy in their hearts, they still didn't dare to go and visit. They just jumped up high. In mid-air, they saw a huge water column rising straight into the sky. After a while, , the water column rolled and fell, spreading in all directions, and even they could feel the coldness in it from such a distance. They didn't dare to stay longer and immediately returned to the ground, ready to find out.
After the water column broke out of the formation, the pressure in the ground quickly spread along the gap, and soon swallowed up the land hundreds of miles around the Secret Tower of Ten Thousand Methods. By the time Ouyang Ting and Bai Wan'er rushed over, the water had stopped and everything was calm again. However, what was displayed in front of them at this time was an ocean with no end in sight.
The roulette wheel that Bai Fei and the others were riding on fell from a height into the water. Due to the protection of the barrier, the roulette wheel was not damaged at all. When they surfaced again, they were surrounded by the vast ocean. But they knew that they had finally come out, and they wanted to let the entire east know that they were back.
Bai Fei removed the barrier, opened the seal of the roulette, rushed out of the cabin, stood on the top of the roulette, shouted, enjoying the excitement and joy of surviving a desperate situation.
"Sister, it's his voice, he's back, he's finally back!" Upon hearing that familiar shout, Bai Wan'er was so excited that she almost couldn't stand, grabbed Ouyang Ting's arm and cried with joy.
"Yes, sister, he is back, he is finally back!" Ouyang Ting was affected by her, her eyes turned red.
"Sister, why is the spiritual energy around you suddenly thicker?" Bai Wan'er took a deep breath and asked in surprise.
"Maybe it has something to do with the sudden appearance of water." Ouyang Ting thought for a while and said.
She guessed right. The spiritual energy in the underground world had spread with the shattering of the cage. For a long time thereafter, this wilderness area became the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire east and even the entire cultivation world. For this reason, Thousand Faces Hall has a large number of talents and has become one of the most powerful sects in the east, even inferior to the Palace of Light and the Palace of Darkness.
