Qin Di entered the Sky-Reaching Tower.
The first floor of the tower formed a small world.
Looking around, the space inside was not big, only a few dozen miles in diameter. There were no mountains, no water, and no trees, just an endless plain. The ground was uneven, and there were all kinds of spirit metals buried there. Some were like protruding stones, some were like sharp swords, glowing with colorful light, as tempting as gemstones.
However, when Qin Di lowered his head to pick them up, he could not pick any up.
He knew that these spirit metals were refined by Sengoku Ginseng and Sengoku Yuan Jin with great magic power, so they could only be used to comprehend the Dao. Challengers were not allowed to take them away, or else the people behind them would not be able to comprehend the Dao.
As a sixth-tier immortal artifact, the Sky-Reaching Tower had very strong power, and could prevent any Heaven Immortal from picking up the spirit metals. If the challenger was disobedient and insisted on forcefully digging out the metal stones on the ground, they might be killed by the Sky-Reaching Tower.
Qin Di carefully avoided the metal stones on the ground, and walked unhurriedly to the stone steps in the center of the tower.
On the side of the stone steps, there was a huge stone tablet, on which an immortal character was carved. It looked simple, but it seemed to contain an indescribable Heavenly Dao law.
There was an empty space next to the stone tablet, and there were already many Heaven Immortals sitting there, not speaking or moving, comprehending the Dao there.
Qin Di walked over to take a closer look, and found that there was clearly a "Gold" character on the stone tablet.
This was the simplest metal-type immortal character, and it was the ancestor of all metal-type immortal characters. It looked simple, but it was all-encompassing. Just this character alone could make people comprehend it for tens of thousands of years, and they would not be satisfied.
Qin Di also sat here, and sometimes he looked at the "Gold" character on the stone tablet, and sometimes he looked at the various metal-type immortal materials on the ground. At the beginning, he could only see a faint layer of fog in the air, moving with the wind, sometimes gathering, and sometimes dispersing. It was vaguely tempting. When he put on the Heavenly Soul Glasses, he could clearly see that this floor of the tower was filled with all kinds of Heavenly Dao laws. These Heavenly Dao Laws intertwined in the air, like the double helix structure of DNA, spiraling upwards, forming one beam of light after another!
Qin Di carefully identified these beams of light and found that they were all Metal Element Fundamental Laws. For a second-stage Heaven Immortal like him, he had already fused more than 20 Great Laws of Heavenly Laws, so he had already mastered most of the Fundamental Laws. He sat here to meditate on the Dao, just to find out if there were any more Heavenly Dao Laws. He did not pay attention to them before. Now, before he stepped into the stage of Zu Xian, he had to quickly fix his immortal foundation.
He sat quietly and looked at the light pillars one after another. He compared them to the Heavenly Dao Laws he had comprehended and modified them bit by bit.
Not far away from him sat several hundred Heaven Immortals whom he did not know. Some of them had been sitting there for a long time, while others had only sat for a short while before leaving.
Some people left without saying a word, quietly climbing up to the second floor.
Someone else chuckled and said, "Such a simple Heavenly Dao law, one look and you'll know! There's no need to waste energy studying it … You guys … Haha … You're still persevering here … What a joke … "
Many people were completely focused on the metal and stone around them, ignoring what the others said, as if they did not exist.
Some people did not like it. They suddenly released their Heaven Immortal aura and snorted coldly, "Scram!"
The person who spoke earlier turned around and found that it was a fifth-stage Heaven Immortal, two levels higher than him. He was shocked, shrank his head, and fled to the second floor.
Qin Di meditated on the first floor for a full six months, supplementing his immortal foundation with all the Foundation Laws. Then, he didn't go up to the second floor. Instead, he left the Skysplit Tower and returned to the Immortal Rune Pavilion.
Zhong Xianshu was studying the Immortal Text alone. When he saw him return, he looked up at him and asked, "How was it? Did you learn anything?"
Qin Di smiled and said, "Master, I learned a lot! Just the first floor alone allowed me to add seven or eight Fundamental Laws! These laws may seem insignificant, but if I don't make up for them, they may become flaws in the future. "
Zhong Xianshu nodded. "A tall building starts from a flat ground. Only when the immortal foundation is stable can you go further and be more secure. There was a tower like this in every single star region, and it was refined painstakingly by the ministers under the command of the five old Imperial Emperors all those years ago when they were still in power, and it was for the sake of instructing the Heavenly Immortals of the various regions. In the future, whenever you go to a place, you have to take a look. Because there are seven Sengoku in the White Tiger Seven Stars, each of them has their own understanding, so the Fundamental Laws you see are different. The more you see, the more comprehensive your gains will be. "
Qin Di was excited. "So that's how it is! Thank you for your guidance, Master! "
Zhong Xianshu continued, "To be honest, even I want to take a look. Unfortunately, I'm already Zu Xian and can't start all over again. So I advise you not to rush to advance to Zu Xian even if you comprehend 99 Heavenly Laws, or you'll lose similar opportunities. "
Qin Di blinked and asked, "Master, why don't you create a clone and replace your main body to challenge the tower?"
Zhong Xianshu shook his head and said, "The most famous clone refining techniques in the Celestial World are the Daoists' One Breath Sanqing, the Buddhists' Buddha Light Illuminates Glass Shadow, and the Witches' Nine Slashes of the Heavenly Demon. Apart from that, they all have flaws. In the past, I also refined a clone. Not only did I expend a lot of immortal materials and primordial spirit, I couldn't completely fuse with my main body in the end! In other words, the clone has its own intelligence and is almost an independent immortal! Because of that, I left that clone in Heaven City's walls and didn't show myself for a long time. It's like giving up on it. "
Qin Di's heart stirred when he heard that, and he suddenly asked, "Master, do you know if the Daoists' One Breath Sanqing has been passed down in the Celestial World? Where can I learn this mental cultivation technique? "
Zhong Xianshu shook his head slightly. "Old Lord Taishang's Tushita Palace is located in the Grand Tranquility of the Thirty-three Heavens. Only Immortal King level mighty figures occasionally have the chance to pay a visit to him, but he hasn't shown himself for a very, very long time. Some people said that he went to the Desolate Ruins of the 36th Heaven with many Primordial Celestial Ancestors and five old Celestial Emperors. Because of that, the five old Celestial Emperors disappeared! "
Qin Di was enlightened when he heard that, and he thought to himself, "So that's how it is! The Yellow Emperor and the few Celestial Ancestors said that they didn't die, but were trapped somewhere. After all, they were trapped in the Desolate Ruins of the Desolate Ruins! I don't know what the Desolate Ruins look like to be able to trap so many Celestial Ancestors inside! "
After a while, he asked again, "Master, how can this be? In such a big Celestial World, there's actually no inheritance of One Breath Sanqing left behind? "
Zhong Xianshu said, "It's not that there's no inheritance, but there are very few complete versions. In the past, Taishang Laojun had millions of incarnations and guided the cultivation of the cultivators in the lower realm. He left behind the Tao Te Ching, which lit up the sacred fire of the Celestial World's cultivation. But he had very few direct disciples, and even fewer people who learned One Breath Sanqing from him! There are some versions circulating outside, but they are all fabricated by the later generations and borrowed his name. Those cultivation techniques have all kinds of flaws. "
Qin Di thought for a while and asked, "Master, since the incarnations can't work, why don't you make a few incarnations and let them enter the Tower of Babel for you?"
Zhong Xianshu shook his head again. "Incarnations are just images. Their cultivation is shallow and their spiritual energy is limited. They can't enter the Tower of Babel without reaching the level of a Celestial Immortal. Besides, you probably didn't notice that there's a Soul Devouring Mirror hanging at the entrance of the Tower of Babel. Not only can it block demons and ghosts, but it can also block the primordial spirit incarnations of the Great Immortals. So, one has to enter the tower with a corporeal body in order to comprehend the laws of the Heavenly Dao. "
Qin Di thought, "Luckily, I used the Nine Slashes of the Devil Path and chopped off an arm to form a corporeal body under the growth of the blood-colored seawater. Otherwise, I would also be blocked outside."
He thought again, "It's a pity that my seven incarnations are interconnected. After one advances, the others will automatically advance. It seems that even if I comprehend the Ninety-Nine Great Laws of Heaven, I have to suppress my progress and not advance too quickly. Otherwise, I won't be able to enter the other Tower of Babel! "
He stayed in Xianwen Sect for more than a month and learned a few immortal texts from his master, Zhong Xianshu. Then, he came to the Tower of Babel again and prepared to challenge the second floor.
He didn't lack immortal stones, so he planned to learn a few immortal texts after each floor of the tower. He took his time to practice, combining theory with practice.
In his previous life, Emperor Taizong once said, "Practice is the only standard to test the truth."
