Chapter 79: The Ninth Floor of the Ninefold Trial Tower

  The Spirit of the Law Array is right, this Nine Xuan Trials Tower is indeed a treasure, precious to the point where it can't be described.

  The first precious thing about this tower is that it's a special spatial artifact!

  As soon as Zhou Heng's mind stirred, his consciousness shifted, and the Nine Mysteries Trial Tower immediately shrunk from its original height to a tiny speck of dust, completely ordinary and unremarkable, just like any other speck of dust that anyone would overlook at a glance.

  His mind stirred again, and the Nine Xuan Trial Tower suddenly grew bigger once more, all the way to the top of the hall!

  It can actually be even higher, the true height of this pagoda is thirty zhang, and now it has only risen to twenty zhang.

  Zoomed in to this extent, the details of the Nine Xuan Trials Tower can be seen clearly. Except for the bottom layer, the other nine layers have no doors or windows, and are tightly sealed.

  Zhou Heng walked to the entrance of the first floor, and as soon as he thought about it, the tower door opened immediately. He walked in and saw that this floor was plain and unremarkable, empty and desolate with nothing at all - except for a staircase leading up to the second floor.

  This is exactly where the value of the Jiuxuan Trial Tower lies.

  This first layer can store goods!

  A space three zhang high and ten zhang in diameter, how many things can it hold? Not to mention other things, if you encounter a situation where someone is chasing you to kill you, just hide directly inside the tower and then shrink the tower body, who can find it?

  This is the first function of the Jiuxuan Trial Tower, but it's not the most precious one.

  Starting from the second floor, each floor has an enemy guarding it with a formation illusion. Defeating one allows you to climb up another floor and continue challenging the enemies above. And defeating enemies comes with rewards.

  This Nine Xuan Trial Tower had countless treasures sealed within it when it was created, but to obtain them, one must challenge the nine layers of enemies, each corresponding to the nine realms from Gathering Spirit Realm to Nirvana Realm!

  Of course, each layer can only get a reward once. After clearing a layer, the Array Spirit will not generate enemies to fight again later.

  It doesn't look like much, even if you clear the nine-story tower, you can only get nine treasures. The key is that Zhou Heng not only can challenge it himself but also allow anyone he wants to enter and challenge it, and they can also get rewards!

  That's why it's called the Nine Mysteries Trial Tower!

  Really made a fortune!

  Zhou Heng burst out laughing, his mouth almost splitting open with joy.

  Huh, right!

  He flashed out of the treasure tower, shrinking and putting it away with a wave of his hand. He asked the young child transformed from the Law Array Spirit: "How is my companion doing now?"

  "Die quickly!" The child said expressionlessly, it was an inanimate object anyway, life and death made no difference to it.

  "I'm the temporary master of Heart Luo Palace now, I order you to release her immediately!" Zhou Heng hurriedly said, he still had a good impression of Gu Zi.

  "As you wish!" The child slightly bowed his head, his right hand drew a line, and a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.

  Whoosh! A sharp cold light flashed by, and the figure that appeared launched a fierce attack.

  Zhou Heng didn't even have the energy to scold people, and hastily unfolded his Swift Cloud Flowing Light Step, barely dodging in time.

  "Huh, how did I end up here? How did you end up here?" The figure was naturally Gu Zi. She held a sword in her right hand and had her left hand formed into a palm strike. Her clothes were somewhat tattered, revealing smooth white skin like jade, and fortunately, the twin peaks on her chest remained unscathed."

  "Is this how you treat your lifesaver?" Zhou Heng wailed, and indeed he was a master of the initial stage, as even the sword energy sweeping past him had left a wound on his lower abdomen.

  "I'm sorry, I wasn't referring to you!" Gu Zi said immediately, with a very sincere attitude, without any of the airs of a newcomer.

  "This makes twice you owe me your life!" Zhou Heng said with a smile.

  He made the timing of the Law Array Spirit's intervention quite clever, as Gu Zi was being surrounded by nine silver men, and due to the strong strength of the challengers, the nine great silver men she faced were all at the first level of the Heavenly Realm!

  Fortunately, she can also be considered a demon-level figure. Although she cannot kill nine silver people with one sword like Zhou Heng, she still managed to hold on until now, already close to the edge of collapse. Fortunately, she was transported over by the Law Array Spirit, otherwise, she would not have been able to hold on for another half minute!

  That's why she would launch an attack as soon as she appeared, as if facing a formidable enemy.

  "Hmm, I owe you two lives!" Kuzi said seriously, with a straight face.

  "Haha, then you can only offer yourself as a sacrifice!" Zhou Heng shrugged and joked.

  "Good!" Gu Zi's eyes didn't even blink as she agreed, as if she was just agreeing to go out for lunch. "From now on, I'm your 'woman'!"

  Zhou Heng regretted it for a moment, he was just joking, but forgot that this extremely serious 'woman' couldn't distinguish between jokes and seriousness. And serious people have always been stubborn, he didn't think Guzi was just a temporary whim.

  "Do you want me now?" Gu Zi said calmly.

  Zhou Heng's mouth twitched, this question was too direct! However, unexpectedly, a super beautiful 'girl' asked such a thing, making his heart flutter, and a surge of evil fire suddenly rose up.

  He ate the fruit of King Jin Yang Cao and became extremely sensitive in this regard, and suddenly had a reaction.

  "Whatever, like I didn't say anything!" Zhou Heng's face was full of bitter expression, he made a joke but ended up digging his own grave. He bent down and said to the Law Array Spirit: "What other benefits are there? Anyway, after so many years, only I have completed the trial, bring them all out!"

  "It's gone, the most precious and only treasure of Xinluo Hall is the Jiuxuan Trial Tower, it's yours now!" said the Law Array Spirit.

  Zhou Heng sighed, thinking to himself that he was indeed a bit too greedy. The Nine Xuan Trial Tower itself was already a huge treasure trove, what else could he ask for? But if the treasure trove only gave out and never took in, even the largest one would eventually be depleted.

  Really don't know how much is left for him now!

  "Well, send us off then!"

  "As you wish!" The spirit of the law array waved its hand, and Zhou Heng and Gu Zi instantly disappeared from the hall, while the figure of this child also gradually faded away, waiting for the arrival of the next adventurer or group.

  It's possible next time, even if someone successfully breaks through, they won't be able to get any rewards.

  ……

  Ripples appeared in the air, and after a sudden shock, Zhou Heng and Gu Zi fell out.

  Both of them were masters, and naturally, with a single flip, they steadied their bodies and looked around. This was the entrance to that abandoned area they had entered.

  "Where are you going?" Gu Zi asked Zhou Heng.

  "Continue to hunt and kill the monsters in the forest!"

  "Mm!" Gu Zi nodded, as gentle as a little cat.

  "Hey, you're not really planning on following me, are you?" Zhou Heng's head was big with worry.

  "I'm your woman, of course I'll follow you!" Gu Zi looked at Zhou Heng with a strange expression.

  His gaze swept over her ample bosom, and Zhou Heng's heart skipped a beat. The evil fire that had not yet subsided burned even more fiercely. He looked at Gu Zi and said, "Can I trust you?"

  "Alright!" Gu Zi said calmly, but beneath her calm tone was an unshakeable determination.

  A serious 'woman' is indeed stubborn!

  Zhou Heng immediately made up his mind, could he not be more straightforward than a woman? He took out the Jiuxuan Trial Tower and said, "This is the treasure I obtained in the Heart Luo Palace!" He casually threw it out, and with a thought, the tower suddenly expanded to ten zhang in size.

  Gu's eyes narrowed slightly, but her face remained calm as she said, "This is at least a fetal boundary artifact, which can change its size!"

  Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, "Let's go in!"

  He led Guzi into the treasure tower, and with a thought, the Jiuxuan trial tower immediately shrunk to dust, leaving no one to investigate.

  "Starting from the second floor, you can challenge opponents one by one. If you win, you'll get a reward!" Zhou Heng introduced simply, "Want to give it a try?"

  "Uh-huh!" Gu Zi nodded, "Let me recover my spiritual energy first!" She took out a piece of spiritual stone and refined it, then sat down beside Zhou Heng, seemingly not putting up any guard against him.

  Zhou Heng was really at a loss for words, he was also a man after all, did they think he didn't have any temper?

  Not only is there, but also quite sufficient!

  Damn it! Goldenrod!

  Zhou Heng's evil fire was burning fiercely, and he hastily stepped up the stairs to the second floor. He wanted to vent his anger through battle.

  After the last step of the stairs, there was a light 'door', and after he passed through it, he found himself in a huge cylindrical space, with a diameter of about 100 meters and a height of over 1,000 meters.

  There is no lighting, but the space is bright and clean.

  A flash of light and shadow, a huge rat suddenly appeared out of thin air, its entire body was pitch black, and its whole body was covered with long 'hair' like arrows.

  Mouse!

  Whoosh whoosh whoosh, as soon as the arrow mouse appeared, it launched an attack on Zhou Heng, with countless long "hairs" flying off its body, like a hail of arrows shooting towards Zhou Heng.

  Jū Líng Sān Chóng Tiān Zhuī Fēng!

  Translation:

  Spirit Gathering Triple Heaven's Summit Peak!

  Zhou Heng's eyes flashed, and he swiftly opened his Cloud Flow Steps, dodging the arrow. He shook both fists, one transforming into gold and the other into purple flames, as he launched a counterattack against the arrow mouse.

  Boom boom boom, a chaotic battle ensued, and Zhou Heng quickly gained the upper hand, blasting the arrow mouse into scattered light spots.

  In comparison, the Silver Man of Heart Luo Palace's first trial may only have a cultivation base of Gathering Spirit Second Heaven, but his troublesome level is a hundred times that of this Gathering Spirit Third Heaven Arrow Mouse!

  It's also true that the levels in Heart Luo Palace were set to select the master of the Nine Profound Towers, so they are naturally more difficult. This is just a "trial" after all. If it was as abnormal as Silver Person, who could still win?

  Zhou Heng suddenly thought of it, he must go ask Gu Zi about the silver man's technique, how can it be so terrifying? That kind of simple yet profound technique, if mastered, his combat power will increase tenfold!

  Bang! A copper mirror suddenly appeared out of thin air and fell to the ground.

  Is this the reward for going through the trial?

  Zhou Heng picked it up, and a message was immediately transmitted over.

  Treasured Moon Mirror can gather the essence of moonlight to form a Moon Pearl.

  "Yu Zhu?" Zhou Heng rubbed his head, what's this thing? Forget it, I'll ask Gu Zi later. She comes from the isolated sect and is a master of the initial division realm herself, so her knowledge must be much broader than mine.

  He also wanted to go up to the third floor to take a look, but unexpectedly it was impossible to pass through the light screen, so he had to return with a heavy heart. It seems that his realm is not enough, and he doesn't even have the qualification to challenge.

  Zhou Heng returned to the bottom floor and sat down beside Gu Zi, waiting for her to wake up.
