Chapter 166: Nine Layers Qiankun Tower

Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Nine Layers Qiankun Tower

“A Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact! The Grand Commander is refining a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact!”

“Absolutely right! This aura is too terrifying, certainly not that of an ordinary Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact!”

“Even the spiritual artifacts of the emperors don’t have an aura this frightening!”

The Empire’s royal family was shocked, but no one dared to make a loud disturbance, all of them staring agape.

“Father, the aura of the spiritual artifact seems to be exactly the same as the aura from the Grand Commander. How can this be? And those wings of his, their aura is even more terrifying!” Duan Wuqing asked in horror.

During the battle with Tianyun Sect, they had felt Feng Wuchen unleash a mysterious power, and the aura of that power was exactly the same as the aura of the spiritual artifact now.

Duan Tian Hun shook his head and frowned, “Father also does not know, this aura is too terrifying. It is hard to imagine that this boy’s artifact refining realm is so high, no wonder the prince would take him as a master.”

“It’s more than just high. It’s simply divine. His Majesty did not witness the master refining artifacts in person. The divine skill of ‘Thought-Forming Instrumentation’ is simply like that of a deity,” Yang Tianxian said excitedly and with shocked, his voice trembling.

Duan Tian Hun had never seen Feng Wuchen refine artifacts; he had only heard of the divine skill ‘Thought-Forming Instrumentation’.

Situ Zhentian was already dumbstruck. As an Artifact Refiner of the Fourth Rank, he knew more than anyone how terrifying such a powerful spiritual artifact was.

“This aura is even more terrifying than that of higher grade spiritual artifacts. A Sixth Grade Artifact Refiner probably could not refine a spiritual artifact with such a terrifying aura!” Situ Zhentian said with a calm fright, but he also did not know how Feng Wuchen managed to refine it.

Medium Grade Spiritual Artifacts, although not possessed by everyone, had been seen by many; none, however, had ever encountered this kind of spiritual artifact aura emanating from the Grand Commander’s residence.

No one had seen it because Feng Wuchen had infused the blood of the Dragon Clan into it, thus possessing this violent and noble aura.

The terrifying aura of the Supreme Dragon God Sword indeed frightened the high ranks of the Empire’s royal family.

However, having such a terrifying Artifact Refiner, and also the Empire’s Grand Commander, filled their hearts with excitement.

“Feng Wuchen is preparing for war. Send orders that within three days, no one is to approach the Grand Commander’s residence, so as not to disturb Feng Wuchen,” ordered Duan Tian Hun, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse.

This battle was of great importance to Duan Tian Hun.

The four great empires seemed to have been safe and unthreatened for decades, but who wouldn’t want to become the existence that the other three feared?

If Feng Wuchen were to win this battle, the Flame Empire would surely become a force to be reckoned with from all sides!

With the emergence of such a terrifying genius in the Flame Empire, how could the other three great empires not be afraid?

“Prince, issue orders to the Great General to collect a large amount of meteoric iron!” Duan Tian Hun said, looking at Situ Zhentian.

“Is His Majesty planning to have the master refine a large number of spiritual artifacts?” Situ Zhentian asked in astonishment, his old face showing shock.

Duan Tian Hun said sternly, “Exactly. What sort of existence would our empire’s Sky Shadow Cavalry and Black Flag Army be if they all possessed spiritual artifacts? I want to create an invincible army, unstoppable, and causing the other three empires to dread us!”

Situ Zhentian responded with a wry smile, “Your Majesty, that would require the master’s agreement. It’s not easy for the master to refine a large number of spiritual artifacts.”

Duan Tian Hun said, “The commanders of the Sky Shadow Cavalry and the Black Flag Army are loyal to Feng Wuchen, as close as brothers, but they are also the Empire’s army. Feng Wuchen will not refuse.”

“This…” Yang Tianxian and Situ Zhentian looked at each other, seemingly troubled and finding it difficult to speak to Feng Wuchen.

…

In the Grand Commander’s residence, Feng Wuchen was studying the Qiankun Tower, but after staring at it for a long time, he still couldn’t figure it out.

“The aura of the Qiankun Tower is very unusual, it seems weak but is strangely unique. The Qiankun Tower has existed in Divine Valley for so many years, the soul imprint should have disappeared by now, let’s infuse some True Yuan and give it a try,” Feng Wuchen muttered with a frown.

A trace of True Yuan energy was summoned, and Feng Wuchen’s palm slowly approached the Qiankun Tower.

But to Feng Wuchen’s astonishment, the True Yuan he mobilized couldn’t enter the Qiankun Tower!

“The Qiankun Tower is actually resisting my power! The soul imprint is still there!” Feng Wuchen exclaimed in shock, wondering, “What exactly is this treasure?”

Feng Wuchen then mobilized a more potent force of True Yuan, trying to forcefully infuse it into the Qiankun Tower, but to his amazement, his power was resisted once again.

“Such a mere spiritual artifact has this much power? It must be the soul imprint causing mischief!” Feng Wuchen found it hard to believe.

“I don’t believe I can’t fix you!” Feng Wuchen’s eyes flashed fiercely as he suddenly mobilized Soul Power, aiming to erase the soul imprint of the Qiankun Tower.

With a palm strike, Feng Wuchen forcefully infused Soul Power.

Facing Feng Wuchen’s Soul Power, the soul imprint of the Qiankun Tower fiercely resisted.

“The soul imprint is very powerful; the owner of this Qiankun Tower must have been a very formidable being!” Feng Wuchen said with a slight frown, although the soul imprint was strong, it had become weak with age and ultimately was no match for Feng Wuchen’s domineering Soul Power.

After erasing the soul imprint from the Qiankun Tower, a smile finally appeared on Feng Wuchen’s face. “Without the soul imprint, let’s see if you won’t behave now!”

Feng Wuchen mobilized True Yuan, infusing it into the Qiankun Tower. This time, the Qiankun Tower no longer resisted Feng Wuchen’s power.

As True Yuan filled the Qiankun Tower, information about it flooded into Feng Wuchen’s mind at high speed.

“Nine Layers Qiankun Tower! This is an Immortal Artifact!” As the information flooded his mind, Feng Wuchen’s eyes widened in shock.

Staring at the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower in astonishment, Feng Wuchen felt extremely surprised and delighted, exclaiming, “It’s actually an Immortal Artifact!”

The Nine Layers Qiankun Tower was indeed an Immortal Artifact beyond doubt, but it wasn’t functioning as one at the moment. The tower was damaged, which was why it was emitting a faint and peculiar aura that made it seem like merely a Spiritual Artifact.

Although the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower possessed suppressive divine might, within the information, Feng Wuchen discovered that beyond suppression, the tower held another terrifying divine power.

“It’s actually a space treasure!” Feng Wuchen was shocked once more.

Indeed, the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower was a space treasure!

While the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower was a space treasure, it was different from a Storage Ring. A Storage Ring could only store lifeless items, but the space within the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower could accommodate living creatures.

“What an incredible treasure. Even the Evil Dragon God of the past never possessed it. To refine such a treasure, one must have a space spirit stone; otherwise, it’s simply impossible to create.” Feng Wuchen’s face was filled with ecstatic joy. The sudden delight made him incredibly excited.

Feng Wuchen immediately performed a blood oath to become its master.

A drop of Dragon Clan blood fell onto the tower, which instantly absorbed the blood. Suddenly, a burst of golden light flashed, and a powerful aura permeated the air.

With just a thought, Feng Wuchen vanished in an instant, leaving nothing but a treasured tower in the alchemy room!

The Nine Layers Qiankun Tower had a total of seven levels, and the size of the space on each level was different. The first level was the largest, and the space grew progressively smaller with each level above.

When Feng Wuchen reappeared, he found himself on the first level of the tower.

The first level was a vast expanse of white, with no end in sight and seemingly immeasurable. Apart from being a gigantic space, there was nothing particularly remarkable.

“Such a vast space could probably even fit the entire Tianzhou, right?” Feng Wuchen said in shock, glancing around only to see nothing but the boundless white expanse.

Feng Wuchen didn’t ponder further. With a thought, he directly proceeded to the second level of space.

The second level was a range of large mountains and an illusory space, which meant it wasn’t real.

But as Feng Wuchen appeared, the illusory space before his eyes seemed just as real, and what shocked him was that the beasts and birds in this mountain range were incredibly large, so large that it was hard to believe, and the nature’s spiritual energy was also extremely rich.

An ant was as big as a house, a small bird comparable to a modern airplane in size, and even the flowers, grass, and trees were extraordinarily enormous.

To Feng Wuchen, it was as if he were but a grain of sand, utterly insignificant.

Seeing those immensely large creatures, Feng Wuchen was dumbfounded. A giant ant passed right in front of him, causing him to break out in a cold sweat and instinctively step back.

Fortunately, the large flora sheltered Feng Wuchen from view, preventing the gigantic ant from discovering him.

“This place is truly a training ground for saints. If one could survive and come out, they would definitely be a powerful being! But it’s certain death otherwise.” Feng Wuchen’s face was filled with horror. Even with the memories of the Evil Dragon God, he had never seen such a terrifying sight.

An ant alone could scare someone to death!

The sheer size of these creatures was enough to instill fear in anyone.

With a thought, Feng Wuchen hastily moved on to the third level.

The space on the third level was smaller than that of the second level and resembled that of a Storage Ring; it was filled with countless items, dazzling Feng Wuchen as he saw items of the Fifth Grade and higher. There were scrolls of Cultivation Techniques, numerous Gold Coins, various herbs and Artifact Refining materials, all sorts of treasures of heaven and earth, an assortment of magical treasures and Divine weapons, and numerous Elixirs—indeed, countless treasures!

Seeing these treasures left Feng Wuchen astounded!

Which nouveau riche had left all these behind?

The sheer quantity of treasures made Feng Wuchen feel as if he were seeing an illusion!

Feng Wuchen had truly not expected to find such a myriad of rare and exotic treasures within the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower!

“Demon Blood Vermilion Fruit, Earth Core Divine Mud—these treasures are available in Divine Valley. Could it be that the previous owner of the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower fell in Divine Valley, or was killed by the Qilin Clan?” Feng Wuchen speculated with a frown.

However, these matters were of no concern to Feng Wuchen. He only knew that now the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower was his, and so were all the treasures inside.

The unexpected and delightful discovery was beyond description in words for Feng Wuchen, who wanted to enthusiastically howl towards the heavens, venting the ecstatic joy in his heart.

This gain was even more substantial than what he found in Divine Valley, completely unexpected.

“Wait a minute!” Just as Feng Wuchen was in the midst of ecstatic joy, something suddenly crossed his mind, and he voiced his confusion: “The space on the second level, that mountain range, seems to be Divine Valley! The aura is exactly the same as when I was in Divine Valley; did I make a mistake?”

At this thought, Feng Wuchen shivered, a notion surfaced in his mind, causing him to lose control of his emotions at that moment.

Without any hesitation, Feng Wuchen left the third level and went back to the second level of space!

Feng Wuchen had to confirm whether the second level of space was indeed Divine Valley!
