Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1569: Tower of Eternity

In the Glazed Heaven Domain, there was only one long, vast island, but they could see layers of light of different colors on various areas of the island, each inhabited by beasts of various levels and types. The island was surrounded by a vast ocean, which was also inhabited by various levels and types of beasts.

"Tower again, huh?" Zhang Fei muttered with a soft sigh. "Why did ancient people like building towers so much? Are those towers the same as the Moon Tower and Star Tower?"

"Haha," Jian Kuang laughed as he grabbed his shoulder. "Kid, people call that tower by many names, but its real name is the Tower of Eternity, and it’s entirely different from the Star Tower and the others because it doesn’t connect us to the Three Mortal Realms. Don’t ask me where that name comes from because I don’t have clear information about it, and I found a little record about that tower in it in the past. According to that record, the tower already existed when this universe was still combined into one, but the record doesn’t mention its creator or origin."

Su Shentian also spoke to him. "The tower looks huge from the outside, but it actually only has three floors."

"A tower that huge only has three floors?" Zhang Fei was surprised by that.

"Yes," Su Shentian nodded at him. "The first floor is the Body Floor, where we will face many things related to our physical body. The second floor is the Soul Floor, where we will face many things that are useful for improving our souls. The third floor is called the Transcendent Floor, and only cultivators who have successfully passed the two floors below it can ascend to it."

Zhang Fei rubbed his chin. "All the challenges on the first floor are related to our bodies, and all the challenges on the second floor are related to our souls, huh? What’s on the third floor? Have you guys ever reached it?"

"Believe it or not, only ten people have ever reached the third floor, but they refuse to disclose its challenges."

"Only ten people?" Zhang Fei was shocked by that.

"Five of the ten people are my emperor, my father, Uncle Xukong, Empress Huo, and Tian Qiye." Zhang Fei glanced at Tianshi Shengjie. "Feng Jinhuang was at their level, but he never made it to the third floor. As for the remaining five people, three of them were the ancestors of the Divine Samsara Sect, and the other two came from the natural races."

"Who are those two people from the natural races?" Zhang Fei was more interested in them than the three ancestors of the Divine Samsara Sect.

Tianshi Shengjie created a qi screen showing the images of a man and a woman. "The man comes from the Giant Race, and his name is Ju Jushen. The woman comes from the Druid Race, and her name is Lu Wangyi."

"The Giant Race?"

"There are only ten members of the giant race in the entire Paradise Realm, and Ju Jushen is their leader." Tianshi Shengjie looked at him. "All of them live in the Floral Mirage Domain, but you have never visited them before, and you have just visited the Fairy Race."

"Haha," Zhang Fei laughed wryly before turning to Yue Xuelian and the others. "Haven’t you guys passed the second floor of the tower yet?"

Yue Xuelian shook her head. "The challenges on the first and second floors aren’t as easy as you think, Zhang Fei. I was the only one who reached the second floor, but I ultimately failed because I couldn’t pass the test."

"Hmm?" Zhang Fei looked at Yue Qianrou and the others, but they turned their heads away. "What about the island?"

"Can you see those layers of light?"

"Yes."

Jian Kuang explained it to him directly. "Each area is inhabited by beasts of various levels and types, and those layers of light separate all the areas, preventing powerful beasts from attacking weaker cultivators. They are different from the beasts in the Dragon-Soaring Divine Domain because they cannot transform into humans, and they completely rely on their beast instincts. The weakest beasts there have cultivation at the Celestial Lord Realm, and the strongest ones have cultivation at the Celestial Venerable Realm. This way, we can choose an area that suits our cultivation and strength, so we won’t die in vain because of our recklessness in challenging beasts that are much stronger than us."

"Beasts that can’t transform into humans, huh?" Zhang Fei smirked. "I think that island will be a suitable training ground for us, and I’ll also try challenging the Tower of Eternity later since the item I need is inside."

"What kind of item?"

"Haha," Zhang Fei laughed at their curious expressions. "You guys will see it later after I get the item, and it will be very helpful for me in the future. So, where should we go now?"

"There." Zhuxian Sheng pointed to one area. "The entrance is in that area, and the strength of all the beasts there is below the Five Celestial Realms."

Zhang Fei looked in that direction and opened the map, but he frowned when he found countless red dots there. "All the cultivators in this domain seem hostile toward each other, huh?"

"Kid, this domain is a training ground and battleground, and our safety is paramount, so you don’t need to be surprised if they are hostile toward each other." Zhang Fei agreed with Jian Kuang. "Most of them will only attack us if we attack them first, but some of them are assholes, and they’ll pick fights with others for no apparent reason. Remember, you must protect all the demon women by your side well; otherwise, the people from the War God Pavilion will hunt them down and kill them."

"I’ve done some preparation for that, so those people won’t be able to recognize the identities of my wives’ demons." A glint of cruelty flashed through Zhang Fei’s eyes. "I don’t care who they are; I will kill them and their families if they dare to touch my wives, including those from the War God Pavilion."

Jian Kuang and the others were no longer surprised by Zhang Fei’s words, having seen his actions many times before. However, the women of the New Celestial Moon Sect, including Yue Xuelian, were shocked.

"Are you really going to kill them?" Yue Qianrou asked him.

"They can attack me as they please, but I will never allow them to attack all my wives. If they dare to do that, then death awaits them." Zhang Fei immediately led them to the location Zhuxian Sheng had previously designated. "Let’s go there now."

Soon, they arrived at the entrance, and countless cultivators were queuing to enter the first area. Zhang Fei immediately looked for an empty area free from surveillance to bring out his clones and wives.

After exiting the training space, Zhang Fei led his entourage in a line to enter the area, as it was impossible for them to train together in a large group. Jian Kuang and the others were surprised to find that all the demon women by his side no longer possessed demonic auras, making them no different from ordinary humans.

Nong Qinwei led the people from the Hidden Moon Sect.

Yue Xuelian led the people from the new Celestial Moon Sect.

Lu Shaqing and Gong Wei led the people from the Spring Zenith Sect.

Jian Kuang, Su Shentian, and Zhuxian Sheng led the people from the Moonlit Passion Temple.

Zhang Fei divided all his wives into several groups, with Qing Qiu’er, You Feiling, Fei Lian, and Yao Qilin leading some of them. His five clones led their respective wives, especially since their numbers were not as large as those of his main harem.

As they queued to enter, Zhang Fei monitored everyone present to check their identities and strengths.

’Hey,’ Zhang Fei raised an eyebrow at Feng Yao’s voice. ’Did you see the man in plain white under the tree at three o’clock?’

Zhang Fei immediately looked at the person, but he was taken aback for a moment after he found out that person’s true identity. ’Wang Jingzhi? Why is she disguised as a man?’

’I don’t know why Wang Jingzhi disguised herself as a man, but I do know that she is the owner of one of the Seven Profound Treasures, specifically the Mirror of Eternity.’ Zhang Fei raised an eyebrow. ’The Mirror of Eternity has many functions, but I can’t explain them. I think you should approach her and persuade her to join you, and she will be a valuable ally for you in the future.’

’Let’s see later.’ Zhang Fei continued to check the strength of all the cultivators present because he wanted to ensure the safety of all his wives. ’Their strength and cultivation ranged from the Celestial Lord Realm to the Celestial Venerable Realm, and Wang Jingzhi was one of the strongest among them with his cultivation at the 1-Sun Celestial Venerable Realm.’

’Don’t you want to go to the Tower of Eternity?’

’Naturally, I’ll go there, but I want to check the situation on this island first to make sure it’s safe for them to train here. If it’s safe, I’ll go to the tower directly.’ Zhang Fei pondered for a moment. ’What did you find on the third floor?’

’I found a lot of things, including a stone gate.’

’A stone gate?’

’The gate connects this domain to one of the domains of the Ancient Realm, but no one can open it because it is sealed by a powerful seal.’
