After everything was restored, Jiang Chen found a random courtyard and went into seclusion. It wasn't an easy task to advance to the Second Grade Great Saint in just three days.
Jiang Chen's seclusion lasted for a day. He shook his head helplessly. "Although there are only five hundred dragon marks left, it's too difficult to condense them all. Unless there's an opportunity or a powerful energy impact, I won't be able to advance to the Second Grade Great Saint even if I cultivate for another two days."
Jiang Chen stood up from the futon. He decided not to go into seclusion anymore. This kind of meaningless seclusion was just a waste of time. There were only two days left before the battle with Gu Lian. He couldn't afford to delay it any further.
* Creak *
Jiang Chen pushed the door open and saw Gu Liufeng and Gu Liuying standing in front of his door. It seemed like they were about to knock on his door.
"Liufeng, what's the matter?"
Jiang Chen asked. Gu Liufeng had been in contact with him for a long time and he had a certain understanding of him. If there was nothing important, he wouldn't disturb his seclusion.
"Little Chenzi, today is the opening day of the Refining Tower. Brother Liuying wants to ask if you want to go there for cultivation."
Gu Liufeng said.
"Isn't the Refining Tower opened every day? Yesterday, they were still cultivating in the Refining Tower. "
Jiang Chen was puzzled. He still remembered what happened yesterday clearly. Gu Liuyang and Gu Ling came from the Refining Tower and had a chaotic battle here. That was to say, the Refining Tower had opened yesterday, but today was the opening day of the Refining Tower. Wouldn't it be contradictory?
"Gu Chen, you don't know this. This Refining Tower is different from the previous one. There are a total of nine Refining Towers in Saint Origin Palace. Each of the palaces has one that is used for cultivation.
The purpose of the Refining Tower is to condense the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. If you cultivate in it, your cultivation speed will be faster. However, the Refining Tower that opens today is the most unique tower in Saint Origin Palace. It opens for one day every month and the geniuses of the eight major palaces can enter it. If you can't enter it, all the good cultivation places will be taken away. "
Gu Liuying explained.
"I see. What's the difference between this Refining Tower and Gu Palace?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"The difference is huge. The Refining Towers of the various palaces can only gather the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in this space, making the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi even denser. There are also some arrays that can help in cultivation. But today, the Refining Towers can absorb a small amount of Immortal Qi. This is the Immortal Qi from the Immortal World. If you are lucky enough to absorb some, it will bring you endless benefits."
Gu Liuhui hurriedly said.
"Immortal energy."
Jiang Chen's eyes sparkled all of a sudden. He was worrying about how to advance his cultivation grade in two days. Now, it seemed like this Refining Tower was a good choice. If he could absorb the immortal Qi, he might be able to stimulate his dragon transformation skill. At that time, he would be able to condense 500 dragon marks and advance to Second Grade Great Saint.
As long as he advanced to the Second Grade Great Saint, he would have no problem dealing with Gu Lian two days later.
"That's right. This Refining Tower was set up by the old ancestors of the eight major families when Saint Origin Palace was built. It can absorb a small amount of immortal Qi from the Immortal World. Although the amount is very little, it's very beneficial to us. However, it only opens once a month and many geniuses of the eight major palaces will go there. The competition is very intense."
Gu Liuying said.
"The Refining Tower should have been opened by now, right?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"It has been opened for a while."
Gu Liuhui said.
"Alright, let's go there now."
Jiang Chen said. He was very interested in this Refining Tower. He was eager to improve his strength. The immortal Qi came from the Immortal World. The quality of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was many times higher than the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in Saint Origin World. Jiang Chen cultivated the dragon transformation skill, which was a supreme divine skill. Therefore, his ability to absorb the high-grade Yuan Qi in the Immortal World was much stronger.
Under the lead of Gu Liuying and Gu Liuhui, the four of them flew rapidly towards the Refining Tower. It was the first time for Jiang Chen and Gu Liufeng to go to the Refining Tower. Jiang Chen's reaction was better than Gu Liufeng's.
The Refining Tower of Saint Origin Palace was located at the center of Saint Origin Palace. A grey ancient tower was suspended high in the sky. This ancient tower seemed to have nine floors. There was a golden light at the top of the tower that went straight into the sky. No one could see where it extended to, as if it was going to poke a hole in the sky.
Thousands of miles around the ancient tower was empty, which added a sense of loneliness to the ancient tower. This was the Refining Tower, which only opened once a month.
At this moment, a lot of people were moving towards the Refining Tower. All of them were young geniuses. Each of their faces was filled with arrogance. The geniuses of the eight major palaces had arrived. For this day, Saint Origin Palace was a grand event.
"Gu Chen, this is the Refining Tower. It opens once a month. The tower is divided into nine levels. The higher the level, the higher the chance of absorbing immortal Qi. The lower the level, the lower the chance. Basically, only Fifth Grade Great Saints and above can enter the seventh level and above. With our current strength, we won't be able to go there." "Gu Chen, this is the Refining Tower that opens once a month.
Gu Liuying introduced.
"I'm afraid that there will be constant friction and trouble when the geniuses of the eight major palaces gather together, right?"
Jiang Chen smiled.
"That's for sure. The relationship between the eight major palaces has always been very tense. This time of the month is also the most chaotic time. Many people will fight each other for territory. Sometimes, there will even be deaths, but these are the battles between the geniuses. The higher ups of Saint Origin Palace won't care about it. Even if someone dies, as long as it isn't too excessive, no one will care. This is a world where the weak are prey to the strong. Apart from allowing the geniuses to absorb immortal Qi, the opening of the Refining Tower is also a form of training for the geniuses. Whether it is Pure Land or Saint Origin Palace, the contradictions between the eight major palaces have long been deep-rooted. It's not uncommon for people to die because of the battles."
Gu Liuying said. He had been here for a long time, so he had a better understanding of the situation here. Although Saint Origin Palace was a powerful place, the competition here was also more intense. Compared to Pure Land, this place was much crueler.
"Under normal circumstances, which floor should we go to?"
Asked Jiang Chen.
"Given our cultivation grade, we can still go to the fourth and fifth floors, but I'm afraid that the fourth and fifth floors have already been occupied. Let's go to the fifth floor and try our luck first."
Gu Liuying said.
"Alright, let's go to the fifth floor and have a look."
Jiang Chen nodded. He didn't care which floor he was going to because given his strength and means, he would still be able to absorb immortal Qi even if he was cultivating in the lowest floor. Although he wanted to compete with the geniuses of the six major families, he didn't want to cause any trouble today. All he wanted now was to cultivate and absorb immortal Qi to advance to Second Grade Great Saint. Then, he would fight Gu Lian two days later and solve the internal conflict of Gu Palace.
When Jiang Chen and the others were about to enter the gate of the fifth floor, they saw three figures walking out from the inside. Judging from the clothes they were wearing, they were the disciples of Gu Palace.
At this moment, all three of them had bruised noses and swollen faces. Their Qi was chaotic and they had suffered certain injuries. Each of them was covered in dust and dirt, looking extremely miserable. All three of them were Second Grade Great Saints. The one standing in the middle had blood at the corner of his mouth.
"What's wrong with you three?"
Asked Jiang Chen with a frown. These three weren't unfamiliar to him. Although he didn't know their names, he knew that they were the geniuses of Main Palace. They were among those who went to the Outer Palace to cause trouble yesterday.
Upon hearing the voice, the three of them raised their heads. When they saw that it was Jiang Chen, a complicated look was revealed in their eyes.
"Gu Chen."
The one in the middle said in a low voice.
"Gu Yong, who did this to you?"
Asked Gu Liuying. Frankly speaking, they were delighted to see the three geniuses of Main Palace in such a miserable state.
"It's none of your business who did this to us."
Another genius of Main Palace, Leng Leng, said.
"You're right. It naturally has nothing to do with us if you get beaten up. But if you get beaten up here, it's a disgrace to Gu Palace. Not daring to fight back after being beaten up, it's even more shameful. Your Gu Palace is truly disappointing."
Jiang Chen's face was filled with disdain.
"Gu Chen, that's enough. I don't need your sarcastic remarks."
Gu Yong said loudly.
"I've said it before. In my eyes, there is no distinction between Main Palace and Outer Palace. This is the Refining Tower. You not only represent yourselves, but also the face of Gu Palace. Tell me, who did this to you?"
Jiang Chen looked at the three of them and asked word by word. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, like an emperor questioning his courtiers. They didn't dare to not answer.
"It's the people of Desolate Palace. The cultivation place that we found was taken away by them and they even beat us."
Gu Yong said.
"Bring me there."
Jiang Chen said in an unquestionable tone.
Gu Yong and the other two glanced at each other before nodding their heads. Once again, they strode towards the fifth level. The Qi of Heaven and Earth in the fifth level was much denser than the outside world. Just a casual breath was enough to make one feel refreshed.
There were many small secret chambers here, and each of them had a stone door. If the stone door was not closed, it meant that there was no one inside and people could enter to cultivate. If the stone door was closed, it meant that the inside was occupied. At this moment, the secret chambers on the fifth floor were all closed, and there were many people outside looking for places to cultivate.
"Where is it?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"It's here."
Gu Yong came to the front of a secret chamber. The stone door of the secret chamber was closed. It had been occupied by someone.
"We were the first to snatch this secret chamber, but it was occupied by Desolate Ichiro and the others. They even beat us up. That Desolate Ichiro is a Third Grade Great Saint. We are no match for him."
Gu Yong said while gritting his teeth. His heart was filled with depression when he thought of the humiliation he had suffered.
"Kick the door."
Jiang Chen said plainly.
"I will kick it."
