After coming out of the Asura Mansion, Long Yu flew straight to the west. At the same time, the invisible Asura Ancient Palace also flew toward the west from the clouds high in the sky.
Long Yu did not care too much about the arrogant Long Yao of the Dragon House. As long as he was strong enough, no one would care. Even Long Yao, the Dragon House's Crown Prince, would be defeated by him.
Long Yu's destination was the west of the North Snow Imperial City, the Spring Land, which was thousands of miles away. It was one of the places in the North Snow Empire where two strange beasts frequently appeared.
It was said that there was more than one transmission channel in the depths of the Spring Land, and a steady stream of strange beasts came from it.
Since ancient times, many people had destroyed the transmission channels of the Alien Race, but they could not completely stop the appearance of strange beasts in the Spring Land. It was clear that there were many transmission channels.
As time passed, no one thought of destroying those transmission channels. That was because the endless stream of strange beasts was the perfect target for countless Martial Cultivators to train and kill. If they could defeat these strange beasts, it was very likely that they could obtain some crystals that contained the power of divine characters.
These crystals had no use for cultivation, but whether it was human martial practitioners or demonic cultivators, they could absorb the power within them to replenish their energy and quickly recover from a state of exhaustion to a state of full strength.
The effect of this kind of strange beast crystal to restore the power of the Divine Text was even better than some Heaven-level and Great Desolate Level elixirs. Therefore, it could be sold at a very high price in the countries of human martial practitioners or demonic cultivators.
Previously, Yu Hanxin led the army of the North Snow Empire to destroy tens of thousands of strange beasts of the Ice God Clan, and harvested tens of thousands of Ice Divine Text crystals, which was a great fortune.
Of course, these were just ordinary strange beasts' crystals.
If one was lucky enough, they could also obtain some special crystals, special strange beasts' crystals, which had the same effect as the Divine Text. Martial practitioners or demonic cultivators could comprehend some kind of Divine Text power from them.
However, the value of these special strange beasts' crystals was still not comparable to a complete Divine Text inscription. With so many Divine Text inscriptions on Long Yu's body, if they were made public, it would definitely cause an uproar in the entire North Snow Empire. Unfortunately, of course, Long Yu would not make such a treasure public.
After Long Yu made arrangements for the Heavenly Mandate Manor and the Asura Mansion, he began to busy himself with his own matters. The most important thing was, of course, to train and improve his own Martial Arts Realm.
It was true that Long Yu had many elixirs, but he had already taken all the elixirs that contained the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and could be used for cultivation. If he took them again, the effects would be halved.
If he wanted to improve his martial arts realm, he either had to find some new elixirs or rely on time to cultivate and absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Long Yu's main goal in going to the Wellspring was to gain experience and improve his combat ability. He also wanted to strengthen his own methods as much as possible.
The opportunity to quickly improve his martial arts realm was something that could only be encountered by chance, and Long Yu did not insist on it.
…
Eastern border of the Wellspring.
In the area between the North Snow Empire and the Spring Land, there was a tower-shaped city. This city was called the "Spring Heavenly Tower", and it was the gathering place for all martial and demonic cultivators who wanted to go to the Spring Land to train.
In the North Snow Empire, most of the cultivators were demonic cultivators, but there were also quite a few human martial cultivators. In the Shen Wu world, such a country was not uncommon.
The powerful Demon Emperor of the North Snow Empire, Yu Hanxin, was a demonic cultivator.
To put a specific number, in the North Snow Empire, human martial cultivators made up at most one-third of the population. This included the North Snow Empire. Among the four major manors, other than the largest Sky Hall, the other three, including the Dragon House, were all demonic cultivator forces.
The Dragon House Crown Prince Long Yao that Long Yu saw before was actually a demonic cultivator.
It was the same in the Spring Heavenly Tower. Walking on the streets, most of the cultivators you saw were demonic cultivators. Of course, no matter what kind of demonic cultivator they were, they were all equal here. Normal people would not even be able to detect the demonic qi on each other.
Demonic cultivators, once they entered the Heaven Realm, would be able to take human form. Under normal circumstances, demonic cultivators would take human form, not for any other reason but for convenience.
After all, in the Shen Wu world as a whole, humans were the dominant race.
The entire Spring Heavenly Tower was split into 7 upper floors and 7 lower floors. The upper floors were so tall that they reached the clouds. From the ground level, there were a total of 7 floors, each floor was at least 300 meters tall; the lower floors extended underground, each floor was at least 300 meters deep, taking up a lot of space.
For normal martial cultivators, the Spring Heavenly Tower was only a place to rest. But the higher the floor, the higher the level, the higher the Spirit Gathering Formation, and the faster one's cultivation speed would be.
If one was qualified to go to the highest floor of the Spring Heavenly Tower, their cultivation speed would be at least 10 times faster than outside!
It was said that the highest floor of the Spring Heavenly Tower could only accommodate one cultivator at a time, so it was extremely difficult to obtain the qualifications to enter, no matter how much money was offered.
Long Yu wasn't interested in cultivating in the Spring Heavenly Tower. He only wanted to rest for a night, or find a team and enter the Spring Heavenly Tower the next day.
In the end, Long Yu didn't know much about the Spring Heavenly Tower, so it was best for him to follow a small team and enter together.
The good news was that there were millions of martial cultivators and beast cultivators coming and going in the Spring Heavenly Tower at all times. While resting in the Spring Heavenly Tower, recruitment could be seen everywhere.
With Long Yu's two Thaumaturgy realm cultivation, it wouldn't be easy to find a good team. But it wouldn't be hard to find a normal team either.
Of course, that's assuming that Long Yu wasn't picky …
The upper seven levels of the Spring Heavenly Pagoda were prepared for human cultivators. To human cultivators, the upper seven levels had a very good effect on their cultivation. Even the first level, which anyone could enter, could increase the cultivation speed of human cultivators by around 10%.
Of the millions of human martial cultivators in the Spring Heavenly Tower, 99% could only stay in the 1st floor. So even a 10% increase in cultivation speed was quite terrifying.
However, this was only for normal martial cultivators.
In a place like the North Snow Empire, which martial cultivator family didn't have a Spirit Gathering Spell Formation? Take the Heavenly Mandate Manor for example. In the entire Heavenly Mandate Manor, there were hundreds of Spirit-gathering Matrices of varying effects, increasing the cultivation speed of the martial arts practitioners in the entire Heavenly Mandate Manor by more than 10 to 50 percent.
The effect was already comparable to the 2nd floor of the Spring Heavenly Tower. Therefore, the Spring Heavenly Tower was actually a paradise for martial cultivators.
To enter the 1st floor of the Spring Heavenly Tower, one only needed to pay 10 North Snow Coins. Even so, the entire Spring Heavenly Tower received nearly 10,000 divine coins from tens of millions of cultivators in a day!
A portion of these divine coins were collected by the builders of the Spring Heavenly Tower, while the rest had to be handed over to the North Snow Empire and the seniors who built the Spirit Gathering Spell Formation.
Therefore, Long Yu wasn't particularly rich with 100,000 divine coins. The key was that although Prince Yun Duan's identity was precious, he didn't need to carry too many divine coins with him.
How could the wealth of the entire Cloud Empire be measured in divine coins? 100,000 divine coins was actually Prince Yun Duan's pocket money.
One had to know that Prince Yun Duan's ancient low-tier combat weapon, the Pale Coldblade, was a priceless treasure. It was a super treasure that couldn't be bought with any amount of divine coins.
The 1st floor of the Spring Heavenly Tower occupied a vast area, and there were hundreds of entrances.
Long Yu arrived at the bottom of the tower and followed the crowd of martial cultivators. He casually paid 10 North Snow Coins and stepped into the Spring Heavenly Tower.
The 1st floor of the Spring Heavenly Tower was a ring structure. The outermost ring was usually filled with groups of martial cultivators, recruiting members, preparing for missions, and so on. This place was called the "Outer Zone."
From the Outer Zone to the inner ring was the Trading Zone. In the Trading Zone, there were countless martial cultivators setting up stalls to trade and so on. No one dared to cause trouble here. Not only would they be kicked out of the Spring Heavenly Tower, they would also be banned from entering the Spring Heavenly Tower for the rest of their lives.
Inside the Trading Zone were the Training Zone and the Resting Zone.
The Training Zone and the Resting Zone each had a different Spirit Gathering Formation. If one wanted to enter, they would have to pay extra. Some martial cultivators with a little bit of money liked to rest and train here. It could help them improve their martial realm faster, and it would also help them recover from the injuries and energy they had expended in battles.
Of course, Long Yu didn't need to rest and train here.
He just wandered around the Outer Zone and observed the general situation. Then, he started to look for a group that had a better understanding of the Spring Heavenly Tower.
At least it was his first time entering the Spring Heavenly Tower. Long Yu planned to follow other groups, and only after he gained some experience would he be able to move out on his own.
There were many martial cultivator groups recruiting members in the Outer Zone. At a glance, there were too many to count, and it was too much for one's eyes to take in.
Long Yu observed them one by one, and finally, he locked onto a group — there were two women in this group. From these two women, Long Yu could feel a very strong aura of a beast!
"The aura of a withered branch beast."
Long Yu could confirm that the aura of a beast on the two women was an aura that could only be obtained after fighting with beasts for a long time!
Long Yu could tell that these two women were quite famous in this area from the reverence in the eyes of the surrounding Jianghu Martial Cultivators towards the two women.
Having killed enough withered branch beasts, these two women must have a good understanding of the Spring Heavenly Tower. Moreover, they were both at five divine-realm cultivation, and their combat strength was not bad. They wouldn't be a burden to Long Yu.
In this group, Long Yu temporarily only knew that these two women were recruiting members in the Outer Zone. As for who else was in this group, he didn't know.
"The Cracked Fang Team needs a member who knows stealth, and is responsible for exploring a secret realm. The member must be able to avoid the senses of at least seven divine-realm beasts."
This was the recruitment requirement of the two women's team. To most martial cultivators in the Outer Zone, this requirement was no different from a dream.
Able to avoid the senses of seven divine-realm beasts?
