Chapter 99: Gravity-Magnetic Cultivation Tower

Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Gravity-Magnetic Cultivation Tower

Hearing Yi Xiaoyao’s words, Luo Yi gave a charming smile and ruffled his hair. "Alright, alright," she said. "Senior Sister will take you to have a look."

Luo Yi had once witnessed Yi Xiaoyao kill Shi Tong, who was at a higher cultivation level. She knew he was no ordinary person. Although his cultivation was a bit low, his strength was not to be underestimated—he could at least protect himself.

So, when Yi Xiaoyao asked, she readily agreed.

With the matter settled, the two of them headed to the Cultivation Tower together.

Along the way, Luo Yi held onto Yi Xiaoyao’s arm, attracting countless envious gazes.

Yi Xiaoyao had long since gotten used to this. As they walked, he asked Luo Yi for information about the Cultivation Tower.

He learned that the Cultivation Tower had ten floors in total, built specifically for disciples in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Each floor of the Cultivation Tower corresponded to one of the cultivation layers within the Foundation Establishment Realm.

For example, the first floor of the Cultivation Tower provided an incredibly harsh trial for someone at the First Realm of Foundation Establishment. For someone at the Second Realm, however, it wasn’t too difficult. They would need to enter the second floor to receive a greater challenge.

Therefore, the ninth floor of the Cultivation Tower corresponded to the Ninth Realm of Foundation Establishment, which was already the limit for anyone in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

However, the final requirement for this test was to enter the tenth floor.

After learning all this, Yi Xiaoyao asked in confusion, "Senior Sister, doesn’t that mean only someone in the Golden Core Realm could break through to the tenth floor?"

"Exactly. It’s said that no one has managed to reach the tenth floor in a very long time."

Luo Yi said glumly, her brows furrowed. She wasn’t at all certain she could break through to the tenth floor either.

Yi Xiaoyao finally understood the difficulty of this test for the spot. At the same time, he became incredibly curious about the person who was already on the tenth floor.

When the two arrived at the so-called Cultivation Tower, Yi Xiaoyao discovered that it was actually underground.

Moreover, the closer he got to the Cultivation Tower, the heavier his body felt. The flow of his blood and Spiritual Power slowed considerably.

"This place is so strange," Yi Xiaoyao remarked with a frown.

Luo Yi smiled. "There’s a magical Heavy Star Magnetic Meteorite buried beneath this area," she explained. "The Cultivation Tower was built using the extremely strong force of Gravity and Magnetism that the meteorite emits."

Yi Xiaoyao nodded in understanding and followed Luo Yi into the Cultivation Tower’s entrance.

Inside the entrance was the Cultivation Tower’s uppermost level, which was also the first floor.

The inside of the Cultivation Tower was like a world of its own. The space was immense, and the ground was covered in black, crushed stone.

The moment he entered the first floor, Yi Xiaoyao felt his body sink, as if a massive weight had been dropped on his shoulders.

Immediately, the scattered black stone fragments on the ground began to RATTLE together, forming two stone men that quickly attacked Yi Xiaoyao and Luo Yi.

Before Yi Xiaoyao could act, Luo Yi waved her hand, sending out two streams of Spiritual Power that instantly shattered the two stone men back into a pile of rubble.

"Little Junior Brother, let’s go. On to the next floor."

Luo Yi pulled Yi Xiaoyao toward the entrance to the second floor.

"Huh? It’s that easy?" Yi Xiaoyao asked, finding it a little hard to believe.

"You’ll soon find out it’s not that simple. The deeper you go, the stronger the force of Gravity and Magnetism becomes and the more powerful the Black Stone Puppets are. On top of that, they also reform and revive after being shattered."

Luo Yi continued as they walked, "The Black Stone Puppets on the first floor revive only once. On the second floor, four times. On the third floor, nine times. On the fourth, sixteen times..."

Yi Xiaoyao was shocked. ’By that logic, by the time we reach the ninth floor, everyone will have to defeat the Black Stone Puppets eighty-one times to pass!’

For the next few floors, Yi Xiaoyao simply followed behind Luo Yi as she effortlessly defeated the Black Stone Puppets for him.

But as they progressed this way, the other disciples also challenging the tower all looked at Yi Xiaoyao with a mixture of envy and jealousy.

In the eyes of the other disciples, not only was Yi Xiaoyao traveling with the number one beauty of the Seven Kills Star Hall, but he was even having her clear the way by dealing with the Black Stone Puppets for him. It was just too unfair.

Yi Xiaoyao, however, saw nothing wrong with it. After all, for Luo Yi, who was at the Ninth Realm of Foundation Establishment, the puppets on these early floors were truly nothing.

The only thing Yi Xiaoyao felt was the force of Gravity and Magnetism, which grew more and more terrifying the deeper they descended.

On the fifth floor, after Luo Yi had shattered both her and Yi Xiaoyao’s Black Stone Puppets twenty-five times each, she didn’t immediately proceed to the next level.

"Little Junior Brother, shield your entire body with Spiritual Power," Luo Yi instructed. "Otherwise, our bodies won’t be able to withstand the force of Gravity and Magnetism on the next floor."

Yi Xiaoyao nodded. The fifth floor alone was already making it hard for him to breathe. If he hadn’t already been using his Spiritual Power to protect his meridians, it would have been impossible for him to remain here.

Then, the two of them manifested their Spiritual Power outside their bodies and entered the sixth floor.

On this floor, Luo Yi’s speed had slowed noticeably, but it still wasn’t difficult for her.

"Senior Sister, let me handle it myself," Yi Xiaoyao said.

Luo Yi turned back with a charming laugh. "Little Junior Brother, I’m supposed to be protecting you! Just you stay right behind Senior Sister, okay?"

Yi Xiaoyao shrugged helplessly. He could see the fiery glares the other disciples were shooting his way.

"Isn’t that Yi Xiaoyao? He actually made it here? And he’s relying on someone else to clear the tower for him! How shameless."

"I bet he’s just like us, here to see what the fuss is about. It won’t be long before he can’t handle the Cultivation Tower’s Gravity and Magnetism and has to leave."

These disciples recognized Yi Xiaoyao, but they had no idea how much his strength had grown in the Earth Star Forest. They certainly didn’t know that the difficulty of this sixth floor was nothing to him at all.

So, they all assumed that Yi Xiaoyao, relying on someone else to get through the tower, definitely wouldn’t get far.

Next, Luo Yi dealt with the Black Stone Puppets on the sixth floor, and she and Yi Xiaoyao entered the seventh.

Starting on this floor, the number of people challenging the tower suddenly increased. Everyone here was at least at the Seventh Realm of Foundation Establishment.

When everyone saw Yi Xiaoyao appear on this floor, they all shot him astonished looks.

"Someone at the Fifth Realm of Foundation Establishment actually made it to the seventh floor? How is that possible!"

Someone exclaimed in disbelief. Never mind needing to defeat the Black Stone Puppets thirty-six times on the sixth floor; the astounding force of Gravity and Magnetism on the sixth and seventh floors alone was far beyond what someone at the Fifth Realm of Foundation Establishment could withstand.

Luo Yi also gave Yi Xiaoyao a rather surprised glance. She hadn’t expected him to be able to withstand the force of Gravity and Magnetism on the seventh floor either.

However, Luo Yi knew Yi Xiaoyao couldn’t be measured by ordinary standards, so she wasn’t as shocked as the others.

The next moment, everyone finally understood how Yi Xiaoyao had made it to the seventh floor. They all saw Luo Yi dealing with the Black Stone Puppets for him, while Yi Xiaoyao didn’t even move a muscle.

Instantly, the crowd felt the injustice of Yi Xiaoyao’s actions, their gazes and words filled with contempt.

But Yi Xiaoyao turned a deaf ear to their attitudes. At this moment, his eyes were lightly closed, as if he were searching for a way to counter the immense force of Gravity and Magnetism around him.

Though Yi Xiaoyao hadn’t actively fought the Black Stone Puppets alongside Luo Yi, he had been calmly sensing the surrounding force of Gravity and Magnetism the entire time.

Because Yi Xiaoyao had a feeling. ’If I want to break through to the tenth floor, I have to nullify the interference from the Gravity and Magnetism.’
