Chapter 740: The Old Man At The Top Of The Star Cloud City’s Tower

Editor: Atlas Studios

What was on the top of Star Cloud City’s tower?

Everyone was curious about who could forge such a pagoda that was suitable for cultivation.

If possible, they even wanted to move this cultivation tower out…

At this moment, around Blackie, Ye Qiubai, and Mu Fusheng.

There was nothing special about the environment.

The three of them were currently in a small room.

There was a huge bookshelf on each of the four walls. The bookshelf was filled with books.

However, these books did not have names.

In front of the three of them was a small wooden table.

An illusory old man was writing something on the table on the small wooden table.

After the three of them entered, the old man raised his head and put down the brush that was condensed from his soul. He smiled and said, “Looks like everyone is here.”

“However, those who usually challenge the tower might not be able to reach the top. As soon as they came, three of them came.”

Mu Fusheng asked curiously, “Senior, which floor did the previous challenger reach?”

The old man smiled lightly, thought for a moment, and said, “It’s been so long that even this old man can’t remember the time.”

“I only know that that person is also a sword cultivator. However, the aura of that sword cultivator seems to be a little similar to this young friend. It’s this endless will and this sword cultivation method that that person doesn’t have.”

Ye Qiubai was slightly stunned hearing this.

Its a little similar to my aura?

We are both with the Chaos Essence Sword Body.

Could it be…

The founder of the Heavenly Sword Peak Sect?

Only he had the Chaos Essence Sword Body like Ye Qiubai.

The old man sighed, “That person’s talent is also not bad. However, after he completed the test of the ninth level, he did not enter the top of the tower. It seems that he sensed my existence and left directly.”

Hmm?

He had passed the test of the ninth floor, but he did not enter the top of the tower?

Blackie and the other two were puzzled.

Why is that?

“Everyone has their own aspirations. Perhaps that person does not wish to inherit this old man’s mantle.”

“I can’t force it since that’s the case.”

This old man seemed to be very clear about some things, as if he had no desires.

Therefore, Ye Qiubai asked curiously, “Senior has been suppressed in Death Soul City for so many years. Have you never thought of leaving?”

“Going out?” The old man shook his head slightly and smiled. “Why should 1 go out? It’s very quiet here. This old man can quietly admire the wisdom of the predecessors and try to understand their cultivation methods.”

“The outside world is plagued by karma and has endless troubles. So why do you want to go out?”

Mu Fusheng asked doubtfully, “Then as long as you reach the Peak Stage, you won’t be plagued by karma, right?”

The old man smiled and shook his head. He pointed at Mu Fusheng and asked, “What is the Peak Stage?”

What is the Peak Stage?

Mu Fusheng was stunned.

This question seemed easy to answer.

The Peak Stage is stepping on everyone’s heads where no one can defeat you, right?

Even Ye Qiubai and Blackie had the same thought.

The old man seemed to have seen through their thoughts. He smiled and said, “How do you know that there’s no one above the Peak Stage?”

“For example, you, who have just started cultivating, think that there is one person who is the strongest existence in this region.”

“However, when your strength surpassed his, did you realize that this realm is only a drop in the ocean in this latitude? It’s not worth mentioning.”

“Similarly, when you become the pinnacle of this dimension, are there higher latitude existences?”

There seemed to be a hint of understanding in their eyes.

Seeing this, the old man continued, “There’s always someone better. No matter when or what realm it is, this sentence is very suitable.”

“The word Peak Stage is too illusory.”

“Perhaps it’s easy to say these two words, but in reality, when you do it, you will discover that no one can do them.”

At this point, Ye Qiubai and the other two nodded in understanding.

Their horizons were still too small.

The Peak Stage was a goal to pursue.

However, it was an illusory dream.

A person could only work hard to approach the Peak Stage.

However, when you felt that you were about to touch it, the Peak Stage would appear in the distance again.

Ye Qiubai and the other two bowed seriously and said at the same time, “I’ve learned something.”

The old man waved his hand humbly and said, “I’m just more experienced than you. At your time, I’m even inferior to you.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about the principles. You’ll naturally understand these in the future.”

The old man walked around the wooden table and floated in front of Blackie and the other two. He smiled and said, “It’s time to say something that you’re interested in.”

Something that you’re interested in…

Naturally, it was an inheritance.

The old man smiled and said, “Let me see what the three of you are suitable for.”

With that said, three souls emerged from the old man’s body.

When the three spiritual bodies came out, the old man’s body was not as illusory as the other spiritual bodies.

Instead, it was still extremely condensed!

His aura did not weaken at all!

However, on this point…

Blackie and the other two didn’t notice when the tentacle-like soul body touched the center of their brows.

An incense stick of time passed.

The old man smiled and retracted his soul power.

He smiled and said, “The three of you are not simple.”

“However, let me make it clear first. This old man did not peek at your memories.”

Memories hid too many secrets.

If it were anyone else, they might not have cared so much.

Blackie and the other two could also sense that the old man did not probe their memories and only circled around their sea of consciousness.

The old man floated to the side of the bookshelf. As he opened the bookshelf, he smiled and said, “Sword cultivator, the Chaos Essence Sword Body is an existence that sword cultivators dream of. Only one person can exist with the Chaos Essence Sword Body in every era.”

“Therefore, there are a few ways to activate the Chaos Essence Sword Body. However, it’s not impossible.”

With that, the old man took out a book without words from the bookshelf and handed it to Ye Qiubai. “There are some records in this book. You can read them.”

“Young Talisman Master, since you major in Soul Dao and Thunder Technique, I’ll give you this book.”

“As for you, demon boy, I’ll give you this book.”

The old man stopped and smiled. “My legacy is this knowledge. It might not improve your strength for the time being, but it should be very useful in the future.”

The three of them flipped it open and were a little shocked because the handwriting on it was copied by the old man himself!

It was exactly the same as the words on the wooden table!

They looked up and realized that the old man in front of them had already disappeared.

He only left a few words.

“There’s no hurry to look at it now. Head back and get the final reward of Death Soul City first. Perhaps we’ll meet again in the future.”
