A Treasure Training Ground
After Long Shishou arrived and said a few words, everyone let out a sigh of relief. Their impression of this Imperial Clan Court magistrate was also very good. Only Uncle Kong shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Sure enough, just as Ye Xuan and the others put their hearts back into their stomachs, the other party immediately changed the topic. The latter half of the sentence directly changed the flavor of the conversation.
"Today's matter shouldn't have alarmed this magistrate, but this magistrate still came. Of course, even if there wasn't, this magistrate would still come. You brat, recently you've been in the limelight, this magistrate also wanted to see how many heads you have on your neck! Ai, after all this time, you're just like me, too disappointing … "
Just as Ye Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Long Shishou rolled his eyes and said again, "Let's get straight to the point. Originally, this matter wasn't a big deal, but you brat, as soon as you came back, you used an iron-blooded method. You made the Imperial City cry like ghosts and howl like wolves for half a day. An old monster in the Elder Pavilion couldn't even find peace in his closed door cultivation. In a fit of anger, he said that this matter must be investigated. This magistrate is only following orders. I can't afford to offend those old monsters, they can kill me with a single finger."
"So, why don't you give this magistrate some face? Cooperate with me and put on a show. It's best if you make it sound a little sad, so that the old ancestor won't be angry. This matter can be turned into a small matter, and a small matter can be turned into nothing … "
Hearing this, Ye Xuan almost fainted and fell to the ground.
What happened to being fair and honest?
What happened to being upright and honest?
Uncle Kong's words were still ringing in his ears. Now that the head of the Imperial Clan Court said such words to him in front of so many people, it was as if he was treating the strict rules of the Imperial Clan Court as a child's play.
Such a huge disparity was a little hard to accept for a while!
"Look at your black face, do you think this magistrate will harm you? Even though challenging the Clansman Tower isn't a good thing, with only three or four out of ten people going in, and one or two of them being half-crippled or scared out of their wits, it's still an important inheritance ground of my immortal royal family. As long as you're lucky, you'll still get some benefits … "
Seeing Ye Xuan's dark expression and frequent frown, Long Shishou immediately rolled his eyes and urged, "Are you going to do it or not? Brat, give me a straightforward answer. If you do, we'll leave right now. If you don't, then I'll take you and leave right now. It's all the same anyway!"
He was probably the only one with such a straightforward personality.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan rolled his eyes again, then turned to look at Uncle Kong.
This was the first time he had heard of the Ancestral Tower. He didn't even know what it was. Hearing Long Shishou's words, it seemed that although it was dangerous, there were some benefits. If he wanted to go, he had to at least figure it out.
At this time, he saw something fishy. With Prince Xuan's status, it was impossible for him not to know about the Ancestral Tower. However, Ye Xuan turned to look at Uncle Kong, clearly wanting to ask for advice.
When this scene entered Long Shishou's eyes, a wisp of light clearly flashed through his eyes. However, an even more interested smile appeared on his face. He sized Ye Xuan up from head to toe and grinned.
There was no need to say much about Uncle Kong. From the time he explained the Ancestral Tower to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan was sure that he wasn't the real Prince Xuan. However, he didn't care. At least, his pure immortal royal bloodline couldn't be faked. If he wasn't Prince Xuan, then he was the illegitimate child of the immortal emperor. If he really wanted to talk about it, there was no difference at all.
Therefore, Ye Xuan was like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water. If Uncle Kong knew, then so be it. In any case, he had the confidence, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
If he acted a little more carefree, he wouldn't attract any suspicion.
"The Ancestral Tower is actually the immortal Ancestral Dragon Pagoda of the royal family. It was built by an immortal emperor and has a total of nine floors. Each floor has a different fortune. All members of the royal family have the right to apply to enter the tower to train …
"Of course, basically no one would take the initiative to do so. This is because although the fortune in the ninth level of the pagoda is not small, the torment required to go through is truly too perverse. Basically, if ten people enter, at least half of them will die in there."
"Over time, there were almost no juniors who took the initiative to apply to challenge the tower and receive the inheritance. In order to ensure that the bloodline inheritance of the Imperial Family was not severed, the Court of Clansmen began to make use of this tower. They gave it another name, the Clansmen Tower."
"If any royal family member has done something wrong, they would often be punished to enter the pagoda to train. Although it's called a punishment, it's actually an excuse to force the royal family members who don't dare to enter the pagoda to train!
"Of course, if one doesn't have the ability, this so-called disguised training would become a real punishment. It's very normal to die in there!"
Hearing this, Ye Xuan suddenly came to a realization and understood everything.
What kind of nonsense disturbed the cultivation of some old monster in the Elder Pavilion?
This was all an excuse. It was obvious that those old monsters saw that his bloodline had reverted to its ancestral roots, so they turned a corner and forced him to enter the pagoda to train.
Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that some old monsters knew his identity and wanted to use this opportunity to kill Prince Xuan, who was clearly a fake but couldn't be exposed, in the Immortal Ancestral Dragon Pagoda.
This way, the fake would die, but Prince Xuan's reputation would be preserved. To the immortal royal family, this was the best of both worlds.
At this thought, Ye Xuan's heart sank.
It seemed that he had to enter the Immortal Ancestral Dragon Pagoda no matter what.
Just at this moment, Uncle Kong who was at the side continued speaking.
"Although the Grandmaster Pagoda is dangerous, it's the place of inheritance of the immortal royal family. There are obviously many benefits.
"The Grandmaster Pagoda has a total of nine levels. Every three levels is a stage. In other words, once you enter the pagoda, you have to rush to the third level before you can choose to exit the pagoda.
"Of course, if you choose to continue, you have to reach the sixth level before you can exit the pagoda.
"After that, you have to complete the entire pagoda and exit the pagoda from the ninth level.
"However, ever since this pagoda was built by the first Immortal Emperor, no one has successfully exited the ninth pagoda safely!
"Although it's not like there haven't been any monstrous sky-prides of the royal family who made it to the ninth level, only two sky-prides of the royal family ever made it out of the ninth level. What they transported out of the ninth level … were merely corpses!
"Even the members of the royal family who made it out of the sixth level in tens of thousands of years only numbered in the tens of thousands of years. Apart from those who died of old age, the rest are now in the royal family's Elder Pavilion.
"Oh, by the way, there are two people outside of the Elder Pavilion. One is the current Immortal Emperor, and the other is the governor of the Grandmaster Court …
"As for your five royal brothers, they all chose to exit the pagoda from the third level and didn't dare to continue upwards!
