Chapter 1989

The Ku family had reached out to Lu Yin when they had learned that Extremes Must Be Reversed was available on the ninth floor of the Tower of the Fifth, but that conversation had not gone very well.

When Lu Yin had visited the Ku family, he had clearly stated that he had no idea how to teach anyone else how to learn Extremes Must Be Reversed, and yet he had placed that technique on the final floor of the Tower of the Fifth. Was this some kind of joke?

However, Lu Yin had given a very simple answer: the tower would not hold the actual technique. Any who received that inheritance would not receive the technique, but rather Lu Yin’s promise that he would teach them the technique when he was able to. Nothing that Lu Yin had told the Ku family had been a lie.

This was why Ku Lei had traveled to the Tower of the Fifth. He needed to climb to the ninth floor and get Lu Yin’s promise that he would teach Extremes Must Be Reversed in the future. The Ku family had to be the first and only ones to receive that promise.

Ku Lei was the first person to climb onto the base of the tower, and he immediately started walking towards the entrance. There was an enormous statue of Lu Yin in front of the tower, as well as a lesser giant sitting cross-legged on the ground. It was Man Li.

Lu Yin had not been able to fully trust Man Li after the lesser giants had taken refuge from the Sixth Mainland with the Great Eastern Alliance, which was why Lu Yin felt that it would be best to send Man Li to act as the gatekeeper of the Tower of the Fifth.

There was no reason to fear that Man Li would try to steal any of the inheritances in the Tower of the Fifth, as the true guardian of the place would be Semi-Progenitor Jiu Chi. On top of that, Liu Ye and Fei Hua would also be hidden protectors of the tower.

Ku Lei glanced at the statue of Lu Yin before walking straight into the Tower of the Fifth without showing any respect for the statue.

Right after Ku Lei entered the tower, Xing Kai jumped out of the water and also made his way into the Tower of the Fifth.

After that, many other famous people entered the Tower of the Fifth one after the other, including Yuhua Mavis. There were also various people who appeared who no one could name, and these people were clearly older cultivators.

When one certain middle-aged man stepped onto the base of the tower, Man Li’s eyes finally opened. "Do you know the rules?"

The middle-aged man looked at the lesser giant. "I do."

"Goal?"

The middle-aged man immediately answered, "The experience on how to obtain golden battle force."

He then proceeded to walk into the tower.

Several more people had already risen from the sea behind the man, and one of them was surprised to see the middle-aged man enter the tower. "Isn\'t that Senior Guan?"

"Who?" Another person had no idea who that was.

The first person replied, "Senior Guan’s an Envoy from the Neoverse. He was asked to join the Hall of Honor a few times, but he refused and insisted on remaining an independent cultivator."

"I know that there are very few independent cultivators who are able to become Envoys. I heard he refused to join the Hall of Honor just to be able to remain unaffiliated because there are so many independent cultivators who look up to him."

"That\'s right. That was him just now."

"I didn\'t think that even people like Senior Guan would come here. I have no idea what he might want. The access each realm of cultivators have to the Tower of the Fifth is different, and Envoys have to deal with a lot more restrictions. For one, they can’t interact with anyone who’s not an Envoy. Also, it seems that they have to report which inheritance they are after, but even if they get it, the inheritance they leave behind has to be one of sufficient value.”

"That\'s right. The Tower of the Fifth is pretty harsh on Envoys, but that’s only normal. Envoys are already powerhouses in the Fifth Mainland, and it would be too much if they were allowed to enter the tower and fight for everything in it without restrictions. Who would be able to compete with them? I wonder what Senior Guan might be after."

"Probably the golden battle force inheritance. There are rumors that he managed to become an Envoy by gradually improving his battle force and using that. He’s an independent cultivator, so he doesn’t have any powerful battle techniques or skills, so all he’s been able to rely on is his battle force."

"That\'s got to be it. I’ve never seen golden battle force before. Who knew that there was another level beyond nine lined battle force? Let’s head on it. There’s information about battle force available on the first floor of the tower, so maybe it will explain some things about the different levels."

"Right, let’s hurry up."

There were no age restrictions on who was allowed entry to the Tower of the Fifth. The lack of this restriction was stated to be absent so that any cultivator would be able to gain strength from the tower. Still, there were restrictions placed on the strength of those allowed entry, as well as how many times a person could enter the Tower of the Fifth. All of this had been established by Wang Wen.

It was impossible to allow anyone to freely enter the Tower of the Fifth, and Envoys in particular were given a great number of extra rules, as well as very different trials for the different inheritances.

Lu Yin was not afraid of people publicizing the inheritances they picked up from the Tower of the Fifth. For starters, all of the inheritances were recorded onto slips of jade, so there was no written record of anything. Second, people were selfish. Who would put forth all of the effort needed to pick up an inheritance from the tower just to make it public?

A screen popped up just outside the Abyss of the Sea, and it showed what was happening inside the Tower of the Fifth.

Every part of the tower was under surveillance. Fights to the death and murder were forbidden within its walls. Lu Yin had established the tower for his own benefit and to strengthen the Great Eastern Alliance, not to give other powers an opportunity.

For example, if the descendants of the Seven Courts worked together, who would be able to stand up to them?

Additionally, any Envoy challenging the tower would be closely monitored, but there should not be any Envoys entering quite yet.

Wait, there was an Envoy?

Lu Yin was surprised to see an Envoy had entered so quickly. He checked the man’s entrance on a part of the display. The man was looking for the golden battle force?

Cultivating battle force was dependent on breaking free of certain restrictions that limited a person’s heart. While it was possible to cultivate battle force in the Fifth Mainland, because it was common knowledge that nine lined battle force was the limit, even determined people with strong wills were unable to break past that level. If people did not know there was another level available, how could they reach it?

Lu Yin had managed to surpass nine lined battle force because he had managed to prove himself stronger than all of his peers, and he had not consciously done anything to break through to a higher level of battle force. However, how many people throughout history were capable of matching such a feat?

The middle-aged Envoy had likely achieved nine lined battle force long ago, which was why he hoped to learn how to push on to obtain golden battle force.

The fact of the matter was that the Envoy only needed to acquire the introduction to battle force that was available on the first floor of the tower, as that information included information about the existence of aurelian force.

There was a great deal of information available on the first floor, and it covered topics like Aeternus, and the histories of the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands. As Lu Yin had said when he had spoken in front of the tower, he wanted the people who entered the tower to learn why humanity needed to raise their overall strength.

The golden battle force inheritance was available up on the fifth floor of the tower. Theoretically, an Envoy was plenty strong enough to reach that level, but climbing to a higher floor of the tower required both strength and luck.

Most people who challenged the tower would first need to find the stairs to the next floor, and then have the strength to climb it and break through the barrier that restricted each floor.

As Lu Yin was considering this, the screen showed Ku Lei inside the tower.

The unlucky young man had been the first person to enter the Tower of the Fifth, and he had also been the first person to break through the barrier separating the first and second floors. His strength had allowed him to easily step onto the second floor. At this moment, Ku Lei was about to challenge the second barrier that blocked passage to the third floor. This was already a challenge some people would never be able to see.

Right when Ku Lei was about to break through the barrier to the third floor, his body froze, as did space around him. This was Ye Gui’s innate gift. This innate gift had caused Lu Yin a bit of suffering in the past, and at this moment, Ku Lei needed to deal with it.

Ku Lei looked down to see sword qi mysteriously appear. It was powerful, and extremely fast. It was actually stronger than some Enlighters’ attacks.

Still, the attack did not exceed the power of an Enlighter. A chill appeared in Ku Lei’s eyes, and lightning flashed and instantly shattered the approaching sword qi in an instant.

At that same time, a person emerged from the void in front of Ku Lei and slapped out with a palm strike. It was impossible to see what this person looked like, as they were entirely hidden within a universal armor.

Ye Gui’s innate gift was not enough to keep Ku Lei trapped, and he turned to face his mysterious opponent’s palm strike, and retaliated with a Finger Tap.

Finger Tap was not only a terrifyingly powerful attack, it was also able to eliminate a person’s motivations and desire to fight.

There was a bang as the person was struck down by Ku Lei, but he let out a gasp as he watched the person fall. The universal armor had not been broken?

Ku Lei was powerful enough that even his casual attacks were as strong as most Enlighters’ full-strength attacks, and the fact that he had not been able to destroy the universal armor showed just how impressive it was.

Hidden beneath the floor, Ye Gui let out a sharp breath as he looked up in surprise. This first challenger was already so powerful? While Ye Gui knew that whoever was at the forefront had to be a talented cultivator, this person had been so young that Ye Gui had not really cared about him. This had caused Ye Gui to lose the advantage.

"Interesting." Ku Lei\'s body flickered, and only lightning could be seen in the air. His body was already on the ground. He grabbed a hold of Ye Gui, and said, "Let me see who you are."

Ye Gui raised a hand, and a Money Bomb appeared that fired straight at Ku Lei.

Ku Lei casually swatted at the attack. A Money Bomb only had the firepower of an Enlighter with a power level of about 200,000, which was no threat to Ku Lei. "You have a lot of toys."

At this moment, several more sword qi attacks appeared in the distance, and each one shot towards Ku Lei.

The young man frowned and kicked Ye Gui away with a foot before turning to confront the sword qi attacks. A hand rose, and lightning flashed. It tore through the sword qi, and Ku Lei waved a hand. A gust of wind shot out with enough force to twist the void. It seemed that all of the sword qi attacks carried the strength of an Enlighter, but where had it all come from? Why were there so many Enlighter swordsmen?

Five more people appeared before Ku Lei, each of them wearing a universal armor.

As Ku Lei tore through the sword qi, these five people raised their hands in unison to reveal a Money Bomb in each hand, and five Money Bombs blasted at Ku Lei.

Attacks with a power level of only 200,000 were not enough for Ku Lei to even care about, but he was extremely concerned with the fact that these five people were only Explorers. Explorers were able to use items to not only release explosions with the strength of an Enlighter’s attack, but could also unleash sword qi attacks with the same level of strength? This was very odd.

"I want to see who you are." Ku Lei pointed out five fingers on a hand, and lightning shot out. Each bolt of lightning pierced through the void and smashed into the five cultivators.

The universal armors were instantly torn open. Ku Lei possessed a level of strength that was on par with the Ten Arbiters, which he had shown during the Astral Tower competition in the Mountains and Seas Zone. He was able to defeat an average Enlighter with a power level of over 400,000. How could these universal armors withstand his attacks?

Ku Lei shot towards the five people, only to watch as they raised their hands again and mysteriously released five sword qi attacks.

Ku Lei\'s pupils shrank. How was this possible? They could release sword qi from their hands? What the hell was this?

As far as Ku Lei was concerned, Explorers were nothing more than ants, and yet these strange universal armors allowed such ants to not only endure his attacks, but also to retaliate. This flew in the face of everything Ku Lei knew.

There was something off with these armors.

Ku Lei sternly shouted, "Leave me be!"

As he shouted, lightning wrapped around his body before shattering the approaching sword qi attacks, and Ku Lei then grabbed his opponents.

Ye Gui felt frustrated. This was the strength of a Neoverse expert. Ye Gui and those with him were quite good, but they could never be such a person’s opponents.

At this moment, the air in the distance filled with flames, and a phoenix’s cry rang out. Serati Phoenix appeared, wielding the flames. The blaze clashed with the lightning, and the lightning was forced back.

Ku Lei stared at the young man who had just appeared. "Serati Phoenix? What is one of the Ten Arbiters doing here?"

Serati Phoenix just gave a hint of a smile. "I’m one of the Tower of the Fifth’s trials.”

He was a member of the Phoenix clan, and his clan had already joined the Great Eastern Alliance. Wang Wen had recruited Serati and many other members of the Great Eastern Alliance to act as examiners for the trials in the Tower of the Fifth.
