305 The Last Floor

The palace was gigantic, thousands of courtyards, training grounds, surrounding mansions, lakes, small forests, and more. Instead of saying palace, the word describing the place would be a large city within the forest.

After several hours running through the courtyards and entering the houses, Liu Yang managed to accumulate a monstrous wealth, anything he encountered along the way was of great value. As he had hundreds of space rings that had thousands of space rings guarded and inside there were more space rings, there was no limit to what he could keep. So everything was being cleaned by him.

Due to the peculiarities of this tower, no matter how much Liu Yang ran, he would not be tired, that was a great blessing to him.

Liu Yang was already running through the courtyards and houses stealing everything valuable he could see from the front, medicinal plants, medicinal liquids, forge materials, equipment left by people who died inside before and among other things.

With the help of the Eye of God, Liu Yang could see the items hidden in the walls and floors of the houses, there were even items buried in the courtyards or inside the house. To get these items, Liu Yang had to get the tools needed for this.

As the extra statistics of Liu Yang were quite high, he managed to break the ground and dig holes with ease. After picking up the item, he did not straighten the place and ran to look for more items. Anyone could know that someone had already picked up the items on the spot.

...

While Liu Yang was running and picking up items frantically without leaving leftovers to others.

In various parts of the forest it was possible to see people using carriages that were powered by natural energy, that is, the carriage absorbed the energy and this was converted into power to move the carriage. But only those who came from influential clans or were special disciples of powerful sects who had access to this sort of thing.

While others were among creatures that lived in the forest, such people came from less influential and humble backgrounds.

As there was no age limit or anything to enter the secret realm, only those below the 900 level and 9 ranks. There were olds who were in rank 7 or 8 on the spot to try their luck, as they had more extra stats than the young.

The older generation was accompanied by the younger generation as they traveled through the forest. Although the creatures that inhabited the forest were immortal and could only be knocked out and not killed.

Those with influential backgrounds were able to move quickly toward the palace in the center of the forest. All those who had some kind of background and were born in the Ninth World were inside the tower trying to find their luck.

Because of the great concentration of world energy inside the tower, the plants grew faster and the medicinal liquids absorbed more energy to transform. This sort of thing attracted the attention of all the powers of the Nine Worlds, but it was only that only those who were born in the Ninth World could enter.

Thus, clans that had branches in the Ninth World created a type of trading system, those who get some item inside the tower could trade for rare items or wealth of the clan. This attracted a lot of the ordinary young people of these super clans, they started to do as much as possible to get at least one item.

Clans and sects that had branches in the Ninth World sent the order for all their members and disciples to enter the tower together, although they were separated after the second floor, the main branch provided tracking items so that everyone could join later other things important for survival.

These clans and sects spent fortunes so that the branches of the Ninth World could get something of value during the tour of the tower. But it was a pity that none of them would accomplish great things, for there was a person who was already enjoying everything without leaving crumbs to others.

But for the happiness of some, within the forest had several natural treasures like herbs and medicinal liquids for over a million years. Although not as rare as the palace treasures, they were still extremely rare and precious items if they were put up for sale at auctions.

Many clans needed the items inside the forest, so many chose to explore the forest instead of going to the palace.

The first group arrived at the palace after nine years, they were delighted when they saw the great walls, but then it became a nightmare when they realized that the precious things had been taken by another person.

The more groups arrived and realized that there were no more items in place, the first groups were being accused of stealing everything, even if it was not them. After denying with all their might, many began to realize that it was impossible for anyone to steal everything from the palace in a few days.

Then, in the end, everyone made a truce and began looking for the items of the palace, but in the end, they found nothing, all the treasures were clean.

This scene made everyone look pale and dark, for nobody knew who was the person who took the treasures.

After nine years, Liu Yang was already on a few floors up stealing everything from each floor. He was the only one to benefit from this tower, all items from the second floor were taken by him.

...

After a few months running and picking up all the treasures, Liu Yang finished cleaning the outside areas, he did not care about the others who entered the tower. According to the map, the distance between the palace and the beginning of the forest was one hundred million kilometers, even with the great speed of the carriages and running twenty-four hours a day, it would still take ten years to reach the palace. Thus, Liu Yang could explore everything before the others arrive.

The time inside the tower was different from the outside world, every hour inside the tower was a minute outside of the tower. So, even if it takes a few years, it would still be a few days in the real world.

Liu Yang continued to clear everything ahead, but when he realized that the amount of treasure began to decline and rarity increased. He began to do things more frantically yet, the Eye of God was being used on the limit.

After five years of picking up all the hidden treasures of the palace, Liu Yang had not yet seen any other person. After stealing everything, he started walking toward the third floor.

The third floor was a floor made entirely of fire and ice, halfway through. Liu Yang had fallen directly into the center of convergence of the two elements, there was a mansion made of stone that was neither burnt nor frozen.

Lu Mei's voice was heard after Liu Yang appeared.

"Welcome to the third floor, to reach the fourth floor, you need to cross the burning or icy hell to reach mansion. In the middle of the way, there will be countless treasures to be caught, and that will depend on the fate of each one. The treasures inside the mansion are far more precious than those on the way "

"Good luck"

Even before the voice echoed, Liu Yang was already running through the mansion in search of treasure, the mansion was a little smaller than the palace, but it was still extremely large. To explore all the hidden places and pick up the treasures, it would take at least four or five years.

This was Liu Yang's path through the tower's floors, as he was the only person in the final place, he took everything before the others arrived. He spent sixty years inside the tower stealing everything and leaving nothing to others, each of his space rings was filled with treasures.

Liu Yang only had such luck to fall exactly in the center of the places of convergence of the elements, by the fact that he had the balances among all nine elements. But it was different for other people, as they were always proficient in only one element.

Even those who had two or more elements, they had only one of the elements that were more proficient. Because it was extremely difficult to train each element up to a certain level, because of this, many preferred to train a single first, then try to use another element. This was the case with those who had more than one element.

So it was always impossible to train two elements at the same time until you are proficient to use the two elements in perfect balance. For there will always be one element that was better than the other, unless the person is of higher levels that have already stopped leveling and only trains the elements, but still it was impossible to equate the two elements in mastery. The most that could happen was the two were almost even.

The only way to keep the elements in balance was to have innate talents, classes, and abilities that increased the proficiency in the elements.

Those who came from common funds could have innate talent and skills, but could not have the class that was extremely important. Those who came from influential backgrounds had all three factors, but because of pride and arrogance, they did no use the common skills to complete this kind of thing.

When Liu Yang arrived on the tenth floor of the tower, a total of seventy years passed, despite that time, he did not grow old. Because he went through tribulation when he was young.

The top floor of the tower was just a small room, there were a table and two chairs.
