Chapter 1832 - 1431: Second Floor, If You Can Do It, Go Ahead!

Hidden in the shadows, Lige felt frustrated because of her elder sister; she really hated Gu Changsheng!

But when Gu Changsheng discovered her existence, such an ambiguous scene was enacted before her, leaving Lige feeling it wasn’t worth it for her elder sister!

She wanted to make a move, but after thinking about it, this was definitely a trap. Gu Changsheng must be trying to lure her out and then take her down!

However...

Lige overthought it; Gu Changsheng was simply being toyed with by her own evildoer and hadn’t reacted in time!

As for Lige’s existence, she totally didn’t take it to heart!

If she really wanted to act, she would’ve done it when Lige appeared. Why wait?

She was just curious as to how Ninjutsu could exist in this era. Essentially, Gu Changsheng didn’t even consider Lige important!

A woman who knows Ninjutsu is at most skilled in assassination techniques. Unfortunately, Gu Changsheng was also very proficient in those techniques!

So, when facing a peer, Gu Changsheng’s confidence arose; she felt she wouldn’t lose to a fellow peer, so...

If she likes to ambush, let her. Ignoring is a form of attack!

In this regard, Gu Changsheng spares no effort in striking against her peers!

However, what Gu Changsheng first needed to do now was flee in haste!

So embarrassing!

She was played in public!

If she doesn’t run, do you take her for a fool?

On the spiral staircase, a woman was climbing quickly, getting close to the tower’s top!

"Watch your step!" Zhou Mu, following behind Gu Changsheng, amusingly reminded her a few times.

He was genuinely worried this angered little woman might miss a step!

After all, this spiral staircase was quite high, and without Inner Strength, falling could be troublesome and could lead to injury.

"Don’t be so fake-nice!" Gu Changsheng replied irritably, continuing to run up the spiral staircase, never daring to look down, as she really didn’t have the courage to face those judgmental eyes, it was so awkward!

Though she didn’t seem like a woman, from a gender perspective, Gu Changsheng believed she was still a woman!

Even though the Star Innate Tower only had nine floors, each floor’s height was equivalent to many stories of a modern skyscraper. When Gu Changsheng stood at the end of the spiral staircase, surveying her surroundings, she couldn’t help but sigh, "Geez, this really feels like you could pluck the stars!"

Indeed, at this moment, Gu Changsheng stood atop the first floor of the Star Innate Tower, and around her, the stars shone brightly, with misty, flowing light, creating quite the illusion of being in a sea of stars. Especially with the bright moon hanging in the middle, the Bright Moon was bright and dazzling!

"Is this the door to the second floor of the Star Innate Tower?" Yuan Bao stood behind Shi Wujue, looking at the doorway at the end of the stairs in front of his wife, puzzled, "I didn’t hear any sounds of fighting. Could it be that the second floor is peaceful?"

Before they entered the first floor of the Star Innate Tower, they had already heard the sounds of fighting from afar in the aisle, but this time, there was no sound at all, making Yuan Bao’s anxious heart relax a little!

"You’re thinking too much!" Gu Changsheng said in a deep voice, retracting her gaze from the surrounding stars and looking at the doorway in front of her, "Although there’s no sound of fighting, the scent of blood is quite strong. This second floor of the Star Innate Tower is likely a floor that erupts in silence!"

"Huh?" Yuan Bao was taken aback at her words.

In the hands of Yuan Bao was the unemotional Holy Envoy Child, who glanced at Gu Changsheng with a flash of surprise in his eyes!

"Be careful, there’s something peculiar about the second floor of the tower!" Zhou Mu reached out, took Gu Changsheng’s hand, and said seriously. Then, he stepped forward and pushed open the door to the second floor of the Star Innate Tower!

The second floor of the Star Innate Tower appeared in everyone’s view as the door opened!

Unlike the noisy battles on the first floor, the second floor was very calm. There was no blood, nor was there a central spiral staircase. In the vast space, rows of bookshelves stood, blocking Gu Changsheng and the others’ view, and at a glance, they couldn’t see the end of the bookshelves!

"Is this..." Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth as she pointed at the antique artifacts placed on the bookshelves, "Don’t tell me, this is the Treasure Pavilion?"

If not the Treasure Pavilion, why so many antique artifacts?

"Obviously not!" Zhou Mu’s voice sounded deeply, his gaze fixed on the countless bookshelves, his deep eyes reflecting as if in a Cold Pool.

"Why not? Look at that vase; it clearly looks aged, even more exquisite than the ones in my Heavenly Palace. Is it from the Ru kiln?" Gu Changsheng asked, turning to glance at Zhou Mu, then stepped forward in a few strides, picking up a vase from the bookshelf.

"Don’t!" Zhou Mu reached out to stop her but found it was too late.

Fortunately, Gu Changsheng was quick!

"Whiz!"

"Whiz!"

"..."

After a sudden shift of stars, Gu Changsheng bounced back a few steps, retreating to her evildoer’s side. She then looked blankly at the unmoving bookshelves before her, glanced again at the vase in her hand, her mouth twitching almost imperceptibly...

The compartment from which she had just taken the vase was still there, with another vase placed in it that looked exactly like the one she had taken...

Yet, the vase was clearly still in her hand...

So, that bookshelf wasn’t the one from which she just took the vase...

So, she didn’t missee earlier?

Were those whizzing movements from these bookshelves?

"Damn! Moving bookshelves? Did they grow legs?" Gu Changsheng was shocked, her Phoenix Eyes wide in disbelief.

"There’s a Formation!" Zhou Mu glanced helplessly at his little woman, unsure of what to say.

"Uh... fine..." Gu Changsheng held the vase in his arms, looking awkward...

When it comes to formations, Gu Changsheng really only has a superficial understanding...

He can barely create some Illusion Arrays, and other than that, he’s mostly just read about them in ancient books but doesn’t truly understand...

"What formation is this? Where are the stairs to continue ascending the tower?" Gu Changsheng blinked and looked at his evildoer, with an expression that said, ’If you can do it, go for it.’

In truth, Gu Changsheng isn’t very specialized in formations. If we’re talking about expertise in formations, Zhou Mu, who is skilled in military strategy, is more proficient. Not to mention, his own evildoer at least counts as half a disciple of his old dad, having learned quite a lot about formations from him, definitely better than Gu Changsheng who only knows half-baked stuff!

"Let’s give it a try!" Zhou Mu glanced at the vase in Gu Changsheng’s arms, his deep eyes showing a dark hue, and then he lifted his long leg, walked to the bookshelf in front, and reached out to take a scroll from it.

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

"..."

Now, Gu Changsheng saw clearly that the moment his evildoer took down the scroll, all the bookshelves immediately started shifting position rapidly. When they stopped again, the bookshelf before them still had a scroll lying on it identical to the one his evildoer was holding!

"So, no matter what we take down from the shelves, these bookshelves will instantly revert to their original state?" The corner of Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched slightly.

Damn, what kind of ghostly nonsense is this?

Could it be these bookshelves can COPY?

This isn’t scientific!

"It’s not the bookshelves reverting to their original state, but rather..." Zhou Mu’s gaze deepened, and he released his grip on the scroll...

Gu Changsheng clearly saw the scroll fall...

And then...

It disappeared!

It disappeared!

It genuinely disappeared!

Just like a woman performing ninjutsu to turn people invisible, that scroll could also do ninjutsu and vanished!

"..." The corner of Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched even more severely, his gaze shifting from the empty hand of his evildoer to the vase in his own hand...

This is an antique!

It looks very valuable!

So...

With a flip of his hand, he released...

The vase in Gu Changsheng’s hand instantly slipped, starting to fall to the ground...

Then...

The expected sound of shattering didn’t come when the vase touched the ground. The vase, just like the scroll before it, disappeared...

The expression on Gu Changsheng’s face stiffened...

Refusing to accept defeat, he squatted down and knocked on the ground...

"Dong dong dong..."

A few muffled sounds were heard...

"It’s solid..." Gu Changsheng said blankly.

The solid ground has no mystery!

But where did the fallen items go?

"Evildoer..." Gu Changsheng’s hair stood on end...

Damn, there’s something spooky here!

"This place is the Treasure Pavilion of the Star Innate Tower. The things placed on these shelves are probably what Ta You likes!" Zhou Mu pondered and spoke.

"Isn’t this the resting place Ta You prepared for himself? Then all these things are burial items?" Gu Changsheng widened his eyes.

"Yes! So the things here can’t be taken away!" Zhou Mu nodded, speaking in a deep voice.

"But we clearly took them just now!" Gu Changsheng looked at the shelf in front of him, looking conflicted, "Except, the things we took just disappeared..."

"So, what happened is just as if nothing happened! Everything will return to its original state! Time will also reverse!" Zhou Mu slightly lowered his gaze and turned to look at Shi Wujue, who had been silent all along...

Exchanging glances, a knowing look flashed across their faces...

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s expression became somewhat unnatural. Seeing the actions of his evildoer and Shi Wujue, the corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly. He lifted his leg and gave them each a kick, one foot per person, quite fair. "If you have any discoveries, just say them! Why all the silent meaningful glances? Do you think I’m dead?"

Time reversal, what kind of ghostly nonsense is that?

Don’t tell her that time here is in chaos!

Doesn’t that mean everything they’ve done in the second layer of the Star Innate Tower is futile? Everything will revert to the initial state anyway?
