247. Gravity Tower

Just two hours later, Treasure Exchange Pavilion delivered the Century Flood Dragon to Lin Fei's dwelling. However, it wasn't alive. The once-majestic creature had been divided into several sections, with its blood still fresh, filling Lin Fei's cave dwelling with a thick, blood scent.

Lin Fei sighed lightly, realizing the potential this beast could have achieved, possibly evolving into a true dragon that could rival a Martial Sovereign. Yet, now, it was but a means for him to enhance his blood essence.

Without any further delay, Lin Fei began the process of assimilation. The essence of this mighty creature was indeed different, causing Lin Fei's Blood Essence Nine Transformations to run wildly, absorbing and converting the beast's essence into his own strength.

Days went by, and a booming sound resonated from within Lin Fei. At this moment, he realized that his Blood Essence Nine Transformations had progressed from the seventh to the eighth stage! However, the Century Flood Dragon's essence was almost entirely consumed. To reach the ninth transformation, he would need even more.

Without hesitation, Lin Fei returned to Treasure Exchange Pavilion. With 20,000 contribution points, he purchased two more Century Flood Dragons. Thus, he spent all his 33,600 contribution points, leaving only 3,600 behind. But if it meant an increase in strength, it was all worth it.

Once again, Lin Fei immersed himself in the absorption process. This time, it took even longer, a full seven days, for him to integrate the essence of the two Flood Dragons.

Suddenly, a resonating boom echoed from within Lin Fei. His entire body glowed with a blood-red hue, indicating the immense strength and vitality flowing within him. This was a sign of his blood essence reaching an extremely profound level, allowing the energy to exude outside his body. The potent aura of his blood essence filled the entire cave and could easily envelop an area several hundred meters around him.

Any being within this aura's range would feel suppressed, their own vitality and strength stifled under Lin Fei's overpowering presence.

"Exuding blood energy..."

A glint of realization flickered in Lin Fei's eyes. He had never anticipated that after assimilating the essence of two Century Flood Dragons, his Blood Essence Nine Transformations would reach its peak at the ninth transformation, allowing him to project his blood essence outside his body.

Such a feat was not common. Even the Martial Saints who had successfully condensed the Energy Flower, a manifestation of their profound energy, found it challenging to project their blood essence. Only those whose physical foundation was unyielding and whose blood essence was unimaginably vast could achieve this. But the ones who could project their blood essence were usually those who had condensed the Energy Flower.

Yet, Lin Fei hadn't condensed the Energy Flower. He had only reached the perfection of the Blood Essence Nine Transformations. Still, his strength now rivaled, if not surpassed, those with the Energy Flower.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Realm: Limit Martial Saint

The Gravity Tower was bustling with disciples. Many were fond of this tower, which harnessed a unique gravitational formation set up by the Foundation Establishment cultivators. In the field of setting up formations, the Immortal Dao indeed had advantages. In some respects, martial and immortal ways complemented each other.

The Gravity Tower had nine levels, each with varying degrees of gravity. The primary purpose was to refine and temper the body. Whether for cultivators at the body refining, acquired, innate, or even martial saint stages, the tower held its benefits.

Many martial saints visited the Gravity Tower, utilizing its gravitational forces to temper and strengthen their physical bodies. The first three levels were designed for martial artists below the martial saint level. Starting from the fourth, only martial saints could withstand the intense gravitational pull. The ninth level was so extreme that only Limit Martial Saints, those who had condensed the Energy Flower, could bear such ferocious gravity.

Lin Fei arrived at the entrance of the Gravity Tower, which was mostly transparent. This design allowed those outside to see inside and vice versa, ensuring the safety of its occupants. Given the dangers associated with increased gravity, the tower was well-guarded by elite martial saints. Even a Limit Martial Saint stood guard, ready to act in case of emergencies, especially if something went wrong in the ninth level.

The moment Lin Fei arrived, he instantly became the center of attention.

"Isn't that Elder Lin? Elder Lin is here to temper his body in the Gravity Tower?"

"With Elder Lin's strength, it shouldn't be difficult for him to hunt down exotic beasts and consume their flesh and blood, right? Why bother coming to the Gravity Tower for body refinement when there are easier methods available? The Gravity Tower is certainly not a comfortable place."

Many were puzzled by Elder Lin's decision. The Gravity Tower was primarily designed for those with limited resources but strong willpower. Those who lacked the means or power to hunt exotic beasts and consume their flesh and blood for body refinement would typically rely on their sheer determination. By facing the oppressive gravity within the tower, they aimed to strengthen their bodies.

Thus, the Gravity Tower was a frequent haunt for regular disciples. Entry cost merely ten contribution points, making it an affordable option.

"Greetings, Elder Lin," the martial saint guarding the Gravity Tower greeted with a respectful bow upon seeing Lin Fei. Lin Fei was no longer just an outer sect elder but had become the First Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. The Law Enforcement Hall was a place feared by all in the Ancient Origin Sect.

"I wish to enter the Gravity Tower," Lin Fei declared.

"Elder Lin, you're free to enter. However, if your physical body isn't robust enough, it's recommended to stay below the seventh level. The levels above seven are reserved for top-tier Martial Saints with incredibly sturdy physiques. As for the ninth level, without the Energy Flower, it is strictly off-limits. Please keep this in mind," the guardian advised.

Lin Fei nodded in understanding.

With that, the martial saint made way. With a single step, Lin Fei's silhouette soared, entering the confines of the Gravity Tower.
