At first glance, the building looked like a vertical well.
However, this' well 'did not extend downwards. Instead, it extended upwards.
There were only two stories in the building, but it was not short. The two stories were evenly spaced and looked thin and long.
The top and bottom of the building were of the same size.
The building was made of some unknown wood, which did not seem to be suitable for construction. Not only was the wood not smooth enough, there were many lumps like tree burrs. They hung on the walls of the building and looked extremely ugly.
It must have taken a lot of effort to build this building with this kind of wood.
There were no windows around the building, or rather, the only window was at the top because it did not have a roof.
If one sat in the middle of the building, they could see the sky when they looked up.
The concept of 'two stories' was not only because there was a circle of wooden eaves outside the building, but also because there were two stories inside the building.
However, there was a round hole in the middle of the second floor. There were no stairs on the second floor, so this was the passageway to the second floor.
Overall, the top of the building, the passageway in the middle of the second floor, and the bottom of the building were three perfectly parallel circles.
However, the top and bottom of the building were of the same size, and the circle in the middle of the second floor was much smaller. It was shaped like an hourglass.
There were four doors in the building. They faced all four directions. The doors were also arched inwards and fit perfectly into the walls of the 'well'.
Only the door in the north was not locked. The other three doors were bound by black chains as if they were locking something.
Only the door in the north had a plaque with the name of the building written on it. It also meant that the north door was the main entrance.
The plaque read: Fu Bi.
Everyone in the Tian Clan knew that Fu Bi was an important place. Those who were not of a certain status were not allowed to get close to it.
This Fu Bi Building was Tian Anping's residence.
Tian Anping was born late.
He was seventeen years younger than his brother, Tian Antai, the current Rizhao Prefecture Town Supervisor.
Tian Antai, who had been in the army for many years, was very obedient in front of Tian Anping.
Even though Tian Antai was in the Qiu Slaughter Army, one of the nine soldiers, and even though he was now the County Governor of a Prefecture, he was waiting for the Yang Land to completely submit to him before he could become the Prefecture Governor of a Prefecture.
At this moment, Tian Anping was alone in Fu Bi Pavilion.
His upper body was bare, his feet were bare, and he was only wearing a pair of trousers. He sat cross-legged on the ground and looked up at the sky.
He was always looking up at the sky.
The sky contained all the complexities of the world. The white clouds, the grey dogs, the sun, the moon, and the galaxy. He only looked at this side of the sky.
He called this "viewing the sky from the bottom of a well".
His upper body was quite well-built. His muscles were not excessive, but they were very well-defined. The most eye-catching thing was that the whip marks on his body were covered in blood clots, as if he had just suffered some kind of punishment.
But there was no pain on his face.
"Interesting."
He repeated his words.
He was motionless, looking up at the sky.
He seemed to have countless questions, and all the answers were hidden in the sky.
…
After another hearty battle, Jiang Wang exited the Great Illusionary Realm.
He realized that the difficulty of challenging the title of Great Void Six Directions cultivator was not as great as before.
Although it was true that he had not stopped cultivating and was improving every day, it was not to the extent that he had become so much stronger in just a few days.
It was because his opponents were indeed not as good as before.
He had been challenging the fourth place of the Soaring Dragon Realm, but the opponents he encountered were still not as good as the young man in the luxurious robe he faced when he won the title of Great Void Six Directions cultivator.
Now that he had to do it again, he was not confident that he could defeat that person again. Of course, he would not lose his confidence. After all, he was the one who won that time. There was no reason for him not to win again.
But from an objective analysis of combat power, he was indeed completely defeated in terms of Dao techniques. Whether it was the strength of the Dao techniques or the control of the Dao techniques, he was far inferior.
He guessed that the young man in the luxurious robe should have risen to a higher ranking, which was why they could not fight again.
And the opponents he encountered now were, of course, very strong. But on paper, none of them could surpass the young man in the luxurious robe who was good at water element Dao techniques.
The benefits that the fourth and sixth place of the Soaring Dragon Realm of the Great Illusionary Realm did not change. Perhaps there would be new surprises when one was in the top three or first place.
Jiang Wang stayed in the inn for three days. Powerhouses from all over the Qi Dynasty gathered in the city one after another.
Li Fengyao almost never left the house. But Xiaotong often came to visit and told Jiang Wang some gossip from time to time so that he could be prepared for the upcoming meeting at the Seven Star Tower.
The scale of the meeting at the Seven Star Tower this time was not too grand compared to the peak of the previous years.
Although the so-called "Year of Radiance" was a hot topic, it was a fact that the Seven Star Tower's harvest was gradually declining.
Of course, this was only a relative term.
At least from Jiang Wang's point of view, it was already very terrifying.
One must know that every time the Seven Star Tower opened, there were a total of 108 spots. Apart from the 20 spots that the Tian Family had, there were 88 spots for powerhouses from all over the world to compete for.
The people who came were all above the Soaring Dragon Realm. There were a total of nearly 300 people.
In the end, only 88 people were qualified to enter the Seven Star Tower.
It was about the probability of one in three.
What did it mean for 300 cultivators above the Soaring Dragon Realm to gather in one place?
One must know that in a small affiliated country like the Yang Country, a powerhouse at the peak of the Soaring Dragon Realm could assume the position of a city lord.
Among the people who obtained the spots to enter the Seven Star Tower's secret realm, there were many Inner Mansion Realm powerhouses like Li Fengyao.
An Inner Mansion Realm powerhouse was enough to assume the position of a city lord in a small independent country like the Zhuang Country even if they only opened a mansion.
If it was not for the Tian Family of the Great Swamp, which was a top-notch family and had enough terrifying powerhouses in their base camp, they would not be able to organize such a meeting.
Ordinary forces couldn't even maintain basic order.
On the other hand, hosting such a meeting was also a reflection of the Tian Family of the Great Swamp's strength.
Of course, if the Tian Family could not afford to host a secret realm like the Seven Star Tower, there were many other powerful forces who were willing to do so.
Xiaotong's long-winded nagging allowed Jiang Wang to build up enough mental preparation.
The most noteworthy people in the Seven Star Tower's meeting were the powerhouses who were the center of attention.
The first was the Eleventh Prince, Jiang Wuqi's maternal family, the Lei Family of the Tianjiao, Lei Fuqian. It was said that in the black market's gambling house, he had the highest winning rate by a wide margin.
Most people believed that he could leave the Seven Star Tower with the first place in the Big Dipper Realm.
Next was the First Deacon of the Four Seas Business Alliance, Fang Chong. He was an experienced Inner Mansion Realm powerhouse with a strong cultivation base and outstanding combat strength. He had fought for the Four Seas Business Alliance and made a name for himself.
Next was Li Fengyao.
Although she rarely fought outside and did not have any outstanding achievements in front of others. However, just the name "Shi Men Li" and her Inner Mansion Realm cultivation base were enough to make everyone widen their eyes and treat her with caution.
These three people were the most popular candidates for the first place in the Big Dipper Realm.
As for Jiang Wang, who was selected through his connections, in the betting list of the underground casino … he was not on the list.
When the casino set the odds, most of it was based on the performance of the contestants in the Seven Star Tower's secret realm. At the same time, they also paid attention to the various disputes and fights in the city.
Jiang Wang was in the Tian Family's secret realm, so there was no need for him to fight for it. He had been in seclusion for the past few days, so there was no news at all.
His few battles in Linzi were also fought in a small area and didn't spread far and wide.
The feeling of being ignored …
Jiang Wang was very satisfied.
