Chapter 1073: The Sky Mansion Key
As they walked away from the gate, Wang Tianshi asked Zhou Yu, especially since she was a member of the spirit race. “Do you think your race and the other natural races can face the devil race? Your ancestors were able to defeat them, but they were not able to exterminate them, as I recall.
Moreover, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years have passed since they were forced to hide in the Myriad Devil Realm, and no one has ever managed to obtain any information about them, so no one should know their strength.”
Vraxus and Lilithara’s cultivation should have reached the immortal king realm, but the natural race leaders’ cultivation is only at the supreme god realm, so I’m not sure they can handle them.” Wang Tianshi nodded in agreement with Ling Yun.
“However, my master told me that the golden dragon king and the other mythical beasts have also moved to the sea flower realm, and they still have Lu Yi the Druid behind them. Moreover, their cultivation is already at the immortal king and the immortal emperor realms, and Senior Ling Tian has already asked people from the tianshan realm to bring their realm there.
Although we don’t know the exact strength of the devil race, I believe they can still fight them by combining their strengths.”
“How do you know all that information in detail?” Wang Tianshi inquired, gazing at Ling Yun with a keen interest.
“Hahaha.” Instead, Ling Yun laughed and asked Zhou Yu. “Have you sent You Ya and the others back to the sea flower realm?”
“I have sent most of them back there, but You Ya and Ban Zhuo decided to stay here.” Zhou Yu’s answer made Ling Yun frown, especially since the two of them intended to capture and kill him, and he hoped that they would return.
“Anyway, our overall strength is drastically reduced with them back there, so we have to be more careful when we start clearing the beasts on the 41st floor and above, especially since their cultivation is at the emperor god realm.”
Ling Yun immediately told Zhou Yu his plan. “I’ve thought about it, and I’ve decided to send them into the Yin-Yang Chamber once we start clearing that floor. Moreover, Wang Tianshi told me that the situation on the 50th floor and above is more dire, so I won’t let them face such a danger. If they stay there, they’ll be completely safe, and I’ll let them out whenever we reach the next safe floor.”
“I think that is the best option for now, and we also don’t need to worry about anyone harming Feng Ruxue and the others.” Zhou Yu then looked into the distance before continuing. “However, Xiao Xiao definitely won’t be willing to stay inside, especially in the presence of her brother and the others.
She is a mythical beast with two bloodlines, so she must want to catch up with them, and this tower is the best solution for that.”
After all, Ling Yun had known Xiao Xiao since childhood, so he knew quite a lot about her character, and Zhou Yu’s opinion of her was completely correct. “Even though Long Feng and the others will always protect Xiao’er, I want you and Ling Xi to remain focused specifically on protecting her, and the two of you must not leave her side even for a step.”
“I know.” Wang Tianshi then parted ways with them, and Zhou Yu took Ling Yun to Ling Xi’s place, where they discussed their future plans. “Anyway, you still haven’t opened your quest rewards from floor 11 to 40, right? It would be better if you opened them all now, so you can see if there are any suitable items to help you all increase your strength.”
Ling Yun let out a soft sigh at that and asked the system to open all the normal gift pacts, and he immediately read their data one by one. Unfortunately, he no longer got any fruits that could increase his strength, speed, vitality, or life span. Instead, he got a lot of materials for alchemy and blacksmithing, so he just left them all in the item box.
[You obtained two-tenths of the Yin-Yang Banner.]
[You obtained three-tenths of the Yin-Yang Banner.]
[You obtained four-tenths of the Yin-Yang Banner.]
“Fuck!” Ling Yun cursed after the system opened the three boss gift packs he got from floors 20 to 40, especially since all three were the same. He immediately took all four out and seriously observed them. “What exactly are these banners used for?”
Ling Xi shook her head at Ling Yun, especially since she herself did not know the origin of those banners. “Since its name is Yin-Yang Banner, it is definitely related to dual cultivation, and you can find out its effects for yourself after you collect the remaining six.
Since you got them from the boss gift packs, I’m sure these banners are not ordinary banners, and they will probably give us a significant boost when we dual-cultivate.”
“Forget it; I’ll see the effects for myself after we reach the 100th floor and defeat the boss on that floor.” Ling Yun immediately put away the four banners and asked the system to open the three special gift packs.
[You obtained Heaven-Grade purple thunder protective treasure.]
[You obtained Heaven-Grade Demonic Gourd.]
[You obtained the Sky Mansion Key.]
Ling Yun immediately took out the three items from his item box, but Zhou Yu right away snatched the Sky Mansion Key from his hand. “I didn’t expect this key to fall into your hands, especially since countless cultivators from the supreme realm have been searching for it for millennia, but no one has ever managed to get it.”
“I’ve heard about it too.” Ling Xi said as she looked at the long white key. “According to legend, the sky mansion has existed for millions of years, but no one has ever seen it in person. Still, according to legend, the only way for us to find the sky mansion is to find this key first, so those people are eagerly looking for it, including my last host.”
“What exactly is the sky mansion? Why are those people so eager to find it?” Ling Yun asked as he took the key back from Zhou Yu’s hand. ???Ε$?Р?Я
Both spirit women shook their heads because they had never seen the sky mansion themselves, and they had only heard about it from the stories of the ancients. “According to people’s guesses, including Zhizun Buxiu, the mansion holds the detailed history of this universe, and they also speculate that there are many ancient treasures inside, especially since no one knows about its origin or creator.
Unfortunately, guesses are just guesses if they cannot be proven true, and the only living being who knows the detailed history of our universe is Huang Lingzhu.”
Ling Xi then continued her sister’s words. “Since the system gave you this key as a reward, it means that the sky mansion really exists. Unfortunately, we don’t know the exact location; even Zhou Yu has searched for it in every corner of the universe, but she also couldn’t find any signs of its existence.
I believe we will find it, especially since the key is in your hands, but it may take a long time.”
Ling Yun just nodded and looked at the purple thunder protective treasure while reading its description. “I will give this artifact to Xiao’er, especially since it will automatically create a strong thunder field if the user is attacked, and it can paralyze even cultivators with cultivation in the five god realms, so this will provide more defense for her.
Unfortunately, this artifact cannot be active continuously, and the time lag after one activation is quite long.”
“Yes.” Both spirit women immediately agreed with that. “Even though it has a time interval to activate, I think the artifact is enough to protect Xiao Xiao and give her a chance to escape from enemies who will target her.”
Ling Yun then turned to Xiao Xiao, who was talking to Long Feng in the distance, and he sent the purple thunder protective treasure directly at her, causing her to look at him in confusion. He immediately explained to his wife. ‘Drop your blood on the artifact, and it will be yours.
Even though it’s only heaven-grade, its effect is very good, and it will immediately activate itself if someone attacks you, so it will be able to protect you from unexpected attacks.’
Naturally, Xiao Xiao could understand Ling Yun’s worries, especially since she herself was also worried that she would die and trigger the third prophecy. She immediately bit her thumb, dripped her blood onto the treasure, and it immediately entered her body. ‘Thank you, Yun’er.’
Ling Yun just smiled and moved his gaze to the demonic gourd, but an evil smile appeared on his face after he read its description, especially since it could suck other living creatures into it and slowly dissolve their bodies.
However, nothing was perfect, and the item had quite a few drawbacks, especially since its use depended on the user’s strength, so it couldn’t suck living creatures that were much stronger than the user. Furthermore, the gourd couldn’t suck many living creatures at once; it could only suck one at a time.
Ling Yun was still satisfied with the demonic gourd, and he immediately dripped his blood onto it, making him its official owner. He then sat cross-legged and spoke to the two spirit women. “Protect me for a while; I want to see Lei Lin in my soul space.”

Once he arrived there, Ling Yun immediately approached the golden egg and told Lei Lin many things, especially about their adventure in the mysterious tower. After hearing this, the golden egg trembled with excitement, and golden lightning began to flash around it, causing him to smile in amusement.
“Lei, I myself can’t wait to see you again, and I will break through to the middle venerate realm soon, so I can supply you with my lightning tribulations again. Unfortunately, it might not be enough for you, so I will try harder to break through to the five god realms as soon as possible, and I hope you will come back to me after that.”
The golden egg responded to Ling Yun’s words by releasing a bright golden light, illuminating the entire area of his soul space. He then told Lei Lin many other things, including some about Zhu Ling, Jing Shen, and Lei Zhong.
