Chapter 190: Tower Boy
Chapter 188
The twenty-fourth level.
The space was not so large, but the concentration of essence power was the strongest.
Chen Jingzhai came directly to the meditation mat and sat down. Immediately, he entered into a state of meditation.
His body turned into a black hole that was continuously swallowing up the essence power.
After only half an hour, he opened his eyes and shook his head silently.
Although the essence power of this level was satisfactory, it was unable to satisfy the demand of his cultivation.
Afterwards, he was attracted by the item cauldron that was in front of him.
This was a Kraken cauldron. Three krakens were featured on three legs of the cauldron.
But what Chen Jingzhai valued ??was not the appearance, but the restriction.
“True Dragon Restriction?” Chen Jingzhai couldn’t help but marveled.
“There are four types of the True Dragon Restriction: Dragon Reformation, Fish Dragon, Kraken, and True Dragon,” said the spirit of the cave residence. “Each of them has its own special characteristics and can be used in combination with each other, to create infinite wonders.”
“What is in front of you is the Kraken cauldron. It is indeed the Kraken restriction, but not in its complete form. It is only an item cauldron classified as a spiritual item that cannot withstand the full force of the complete Kraken restriction.”
......
“So that’s what it is,” Chen Jingzhai said softly.
The way of restriction formation was broad and profound; different restriction had different effects.
Small Heavens Cloud Forbidden Restriction was considered the most exquisite restriction below the True Immortals.
It was all-encompassing, and ever-changing.
Unfortunately, it was not a celestial restriction, after all. Conceivably, there would be some imperfections.
But the True Dragon Restriction was different. The inheritance had its hierarchy, and the levels were distinct.
Dragon Reformation, Fish Dragon, Kraken, and True Dragon, each was one step closer to the celestial restriction.
Compared with the Small Heavens Cloud Forbidden Restriction, the True Dragon Restriction only had a weakness regarding the weather and its upper limit.
“Congratulations on making it to the twenty-fourth level.”
“This is the last level. You’ll need to make a Superior Grade 2 spiritual item within twelve hours.”
“You will receive my approval, and I will then take you to the place of inheritance,” the spirit of the cave residence said.

“So, this level is redundant, isn’t it?” asked Chen Jingzhai.
“It’s true that you do have the talent for item alchemy, but the assessment can’t be bargained with.”
“If you cannot do it at this level, I can’t take you to receive the inheritance.”
“I can’t go against my mater’s will,” the spirit of the cave residence responded.
“I understand!”
Chen Jingzhai accepted it, and reached out to take a jade slip from the Kraken cauldron.
The content of the jade slip was obviously about the alchemical method and the restriction of the Superior Grade 2 spiritual item.
What surprised Chen Jingzhai was that there was a record of some of the Kraken restriction.
Although the record was incomplete, it was totally capable of refining the Kraken cauldron.
He quickly wrote it down, and then selected the materials needed. At the same time, an Earth Lung Poisonous Flame popped up.
After the poisonous flames fell into the Kraken cauldron, the three Krakens seemed to come alive.
They moved about on the cauldron, and the restriction had been completely released.
In an hour, Chen Jingzhai had made a Superior Grade 2 spiritual item, a long spear.
Because he had previous experience in deploying the poisonous flame, this time he was extremely comfortable using it.
What was even better was that the superior Grade 2 Kraken cauldron became very tolerant of the poisonous flames.
Therefore, the time required was shortened, and it was easy to pass within the standards.
“Congratulations!”
“You are the only cultivator who has broken through all twenty-four levels of the tower!”
“According to the agreement, you will obtain the inheritance and the spiritual treasure.”
“Please enter the restriction!”
The spirit of the cave residence spoke.
Chen Jingzhai looked up, and sure enough, there was the restriction on the wall in front of him.
Without any hesitation, Chen Jingzhai threw down the spear and walked forward to enter through the restriction.
A familiar feeling flooded back at him. After Chen Jingzhai landed, he looked at the stone tablet in front of him thoughtfully and said, “Is this also the space inside the tower? How many levels are there?”
“Process it and you will know!” The spirit of the cave residence replied as it appeared next to the stone tablet.
“Very well!” Chen Jingzhai did not refuse, and came directly to the stone tablet.
The stone tablet looked unimportant whatsoever, just like any other ordinary stone tablet that had been erected.
However, once Chen Jingzhai poured in the essence power, his divine mind was sucked into the space with a humming sound.
“You’re here!” A faint voice was heard saying to him.
“Is the elder waiting for me?” Chen Jingzhai asked while looking at the dark surroundings.
“I’ve been waiting for a qualified heir,” the voice said. “I didn’t expect my wish to be granted the first time I am here. According to my calculations of time, it should not have been more than five hundred years.”
“Indeed, it is not,” Chen Jingzhai nodded and asked curiously, “Are you Venerable Ning?”
“Just a trace of the remaining divine mind, which was awakened by you,” the voice replied. “It doesn’t matter who I am. As long as you leave the Eastern Ocean and enter the Nine Territories, then my arrangements are not made in vain.”
“Then...” Chen Jingzhai wanted to keep asking questions, but sensed great pressure on him.
Then, a massive amount of information entered Chen Jingzhai’s mind.
The Supreme Sky Master immediately came out of the Primordial Essence World and ruled over his brow chakra.
He sat in the court in heaven, both the sun and the moon hung high in the sky. Numerous subordinate deities opened their eyes.
A large amount of information was quickly digested and then passed into Chen Jingzhai’s mind.
This made Chen Jingzhai realize something fairly quickly.
With a move of his divine mind, the dark space suddenly lit up.
At the same time, a great number of runes floated in the air and then fell to the ground.
Here, Chen Jingzhai could instantly make out the entire Venerable cave residence, including the inside and outside of the tower.
On the plaza outside the tower, Hua Anxiang stood with Jiang Lin and Chu Jinsong.
Opposite them were the disciples of Mystic Evil Clan, Will Celestial Clan, and Soaring Clouds Clan.
They looked to be locked in a confrontation, and the atmosphere was tense, with some hostilities between them.
This was understandable. After all, Chen Jingzhai was the only one who had not come out yet.
There were only two possible outcomes: success or failure.
They just didn’t expect that the disciples of the clan would confront each other simply because of the inheritance of the cave residence.
There was a vague sense of being besieged.
It seemed that the so-called peace between the clans was something only for show.
Even if they considered themselves to be in a good relationship, everything was up for grabs in the face of self-interest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChen Jingzhai watched everything with a coldness in his eyes. However, the essence power in his body was quickly pouring into the cave residence’s stone tablet.
About half an hour later, the stone tablet of the cave residence had been processed in the beginning stage.
Chen Jingzhai also controlled the entire cave residence, so that it would be easy for him to make a mark on the tower.
“Tower boy here to greet the master!”
The spirit of the cave residence turned into a chubby boy who was no more than four feet tall, saluting Chen Jingzhai.
“You don’t need to be so formal,” Chen Jingzhai said lightly. “Retract the pressure of the tower now and I will put you away. Keep one level clear of everything, and I will put away all the other remnants in the cave residence.”
“Yes!” The tower boy responded.
Meanwhile, on the plaza.
While drinking, Jiang Lin sent a voice transmission to Chu Jinsong. “We miscalculated. It seems that these people will not give up until they have what they came for. Let’s create some distractions to buy some time for the Little Master-Uncle.”
“Alright!” Chu Jinsong reminded him, “Watch out for that Hua Anxiang; I’m afraid he’s not a nice one.”
“I’ve been watching him for a while already,” Jiang Lin scoffed. “He thought that he was very good at disguising himself, but who wouldn’t be tempted in front of spiritual treasures and the inheritance of the gods? This kind of people are the most disgusting.”
“No matter what, he is with us now. If he doesn’t make a move, we won’t make a move either,” Chu Jinsong said. “It’s a pity that no lords or elders are with us this time. This group of people are nothing much, I’m just afraid that people from the outside will be tempted by the spiritual treasures.”
“We have faith in the Little Master-Uncle!” Jiang Lin said.
After he came out with Chu Jinsong, they exchanged information with the others and had been kept waiting ever since.
The result was that one by one, they came out as they were eliminated.
That Little Jupiter who thought he was going to win was the last one to come out.
They heard that in the face of Grade 3 combat power, even when spiritual items were used, they were destroyed. And still, they failed to pass the test.
He thought he was the last one to come out, but didn’t expect someone else was still inside.
After learning that it was Chen Jingzhai, the atmosphere in the plaza became a little strange.
Now, after they had been waiting for two or three hours without seeing Chen Jingzhai, they were becoming restless.
Before the disciples of the Eastern Ocean clan had time to take action, the clan disciples on the land had surrounded them.
Jiang Lin couldn’t help but curse with gusto; these people were truly shameless.
Hua Anxiang also ran out, trying to broker some peace. He didn’t know that his intention was as plain as day to everyone who was present. On the surface, everyone seemed to enjoy a tight-knit relationship, calling each other brothers and whatnot. In fact, they all had the same idea.
Detain the disciples of Luo Sheng Sword School first as hostages, to blackmail Chen Jingzhai to hand over the inheritance.
That was the inheritance of the True Venerable Spirit Plane, and it could strengthen the clan and benefit the disciples of the clan. For the many disciples who had not reached the Core Plane, this was a great opportunity.
No matter what, they did not want to let it go.
“Jiang...” Hua Anxiang broke the silence and was about to speak.
But at this moment, the Twenty-Four Demon Subduing Tower began to shake, and everyone in the plaza felt its violent vibration. Everyone’s expression changed, as they looked at the tower in disbelief.
Did this signify success?!
Jiang Lin and Chu Jinsong looked over yonder with joy as well.
