Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl-Chapter 869 The Highest Heaven Tower has never been destroyed; it has always existed. [Update 1]

Chapter 869: 869 The Highest Heaven Tower has never been destroyed; it has always existed. [Update 1]

For the first sixteen years of his life, Yan Tingfeng hated this world.

He hated that his parents were taken from him, and he hated that he couldn’t have a joyful childhood like other children.

He hated even more that he was forced into the Jianghu at an early age, leaving only a bloodstained path in his life.

Killing, killing, and more killing!

Sometimes, Yan Tingfeng was utterly confused, not knowing what else he could do besides kill.

But now, in the midst of Shenzhou’s greatest crisis, he heard the long-lost sound of his heartbeat.

This world indeed had people he hated, but also people he loved.

How could he possibly flee alone, leaving Shenzhou to become the Black and White Ghost Realm?

"Send the order, let the nine lords gather our forces and join the side of the Imperial Court," Yan Tingfeng ordered calmly, "Buy me some time."

Although the nine lords each guarded different branches, the central command has a secret array that could immediately inform them of the message.

Jianghu and the Imperial Court have always been contradictory and opposed.

The first collaboration without any barriers is to defend Shenzhou.

"You two stay in the Highest Heaven Tower and wait for my return," Yan Tingfeng added, "The Highest Heaven Tower is the foundation of the Jianghu now, its significance is immense."

If the Highest Heaven Tower falls, it would be like a bomb dropping in the hearts of Jianghu people, surely causing a great uproar.

As long as the Highest Heaven Tower stands, it can stabilize people’s hearts.

This young martial arts genius also possesses exceptionally powerful leadership, doesn’t he?

After a moment of silence, Yan Tingfeng’s voice drifted far away: "If I don’t come back, then the Highest Heaven Tower must not fall into the hands of others."

It has been ten years since that young man took the position of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, and they have assisted him by his side for ten years.

They have already learned to perceive the deeper meaning in his words.

If the Master of Highest Heaven Tower cannot return, then naturally, the Highest Heaven Tower will no longer need to exist.

The two kneeled on one knee, speaking in unison: "Subordinates await the Tower Master’s victorious return!"

Their tone was very resolute, as always.

Yet at this moment, the thoughts of the three were the same.

This departure would make return extremely difficult.

Even though the Master of Highest Heaven Tower’s martial arts were unmatched in the world, surpassing the Four Directions Nobility, he was still just one man.

Now, the invaders with overwhelming strength have broken through Shenzhou’s major borders, killing soldiers and civilians mercilessly, advancing directly, and striking at Fengyuan.

The Divine Strategy Army, protecting Shenzhou’s first line of defense, has also been completely annihilated.

It shows just how powerful these invaders are, rendering the world-dominating Ning Dynasty powerless to resist.

After Yan Tingfeng left the Highest Heaven Tower, the Right Protector said to the Left Protector: "Have people fill the tower inside and out with gunpowder. If the young master does not return, then... we will perish together with the final enemy."

This time, he called him young master.

The two had been following Yan Tingfeng since before the Highest Heaven Tower was founded.

At that time, they all called him young master.

"Mm." The Left Protector turned his head, looking at the flames on the horizon, "The Divine Weapon Pavilion and Scripture Pavilion gather all the world’s treasures, if truly destroyed, martial arts heritage would be severed... We will hide the precious things inside, if the young master finally returns, he will know where to find them and can rebuild the Highest Heaven Tower."

Ye Wanlan’s heart trembled tremendously.

No wonder Yan Tingfeng was able to quickly establish the 723 Bureau and Extreme Path in the early 21st century; it was because they were built on the ruins of the Highest Heaven Tower.

The Highest Heaven Tower was never destroyed, it just changed its appearance, quietly standing on this vast land, guarding everywhere.

In just one day, bad news kept arriving.

"Report — Seventh Lord has fallen!"

"Second Lord and Third Lord have also died in battle!"

"The enemy’s great army is about to converge at Fengyuan, we cannot stop them!"

Everyone knew this was a war destined to be lost, but no one gave up, all expending every effort to save the crumbling Shenzhou.

"Good news! Penglai and Beiming sects have descended the mountain!"

"The enemy seemed caught off guard by the art and method, and was momentarily forced to retreat!"

"Something is wrong, what is it they hold in their hands? Why can it devour the power of arts and methods!"

The appearance of Penglai Saintess Yue Zheng and Beiming Sect Master Xing Yun was merely to ensure Yan Tingfeng could gain enough time.

Majestic mountains and rivers, no green trees, no clear waters, only blood and slaughter.

But there was still a piece of pure land—

Great Purity Sect.

Among the Six Great Sects, only the Masters of Great Purity’s cultivation technique and martial force had no connection.

Their deaths were because they were using their lives to peer into the Heavenly Mechanism, to see if there was a hope for survival for Shenzhou.

When Yan Tingfeng arrived, he looked up to see each Master of Great Purity suddenly falling dead.

"The Tower Master is here." Rong Shi coughed a few times, then smiled slightly and said, "Sit."

Yan Tingfeng did not sit, quietly staring at him, only saying eight words: "You were waiting for me, you have a way."

"These people do not belong to Shenzhou, so as long as Shenzhou has a Heavenly Moat to protect it, they will have no choice but to retreat," Rong Shi said calmly, "To create such a Heavenly Moat requires the collaborative creation of the Ultimate Powers of Heaven and Earth, Yin Yang, and the Five Elements."

Yan Tingfeng replied coldly, "But these three Ultimate Powers are fundamentally impossible to work together!"

What is called ultimate, inherently repels each other.

"Isn’t the reason the Tower Master has come, to make these three Ultimate Powers unite as one?" Rong Shi smiled, "The Tower Master’s body is very special, if these three Ultimate Powers pass through the Tower Master’s body, a Heavenly Moat can immediately be formed to protect Shenzhou."

Yan Tingfeng showed no surprise: "Start now."

He agreed so quickly, without the slightest hesitation, even causing Rong Shi to pause: "The Tower Master doesn’t want to ask anything?"

"Yes, but I don’t want to hear an answer I don’t like," Yan Tingfeng said lightly, "Anything I don’t like, I hope it doesn’t exist."

Even if he didn’t ask, Ye Wanlan knew what he wanted to ask.

Could Shenzhou recover its vitality and flourish again?

"The Tower Master is open-minded, please proceed to Yongning Palace," Rong Shi smiled again, "I will be there shortly."

"Yongning Palace?" A hint of surprise flashed in Yan Tingfeng’s eyes.

But he did not ask, only nodded, and his figure quickly disappeared.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is Shenzhou’s glimpse of hope," Rong Shi suddenly said, "And the Tower Master is the key to unlocking that glimpse of hope."

He said this when Yan Tingfeng was not present.

So these words were for Ye Wanlan herself.

Her eyes narrowed: "Rong Shi, what exactly have you foreseen."

Rong Shi rose and also headed to Yongning Palace, to prepare for the last battle.

The final result, Ye Wanlan did not need to see to know.

—— What of the Tower Master?

—— The Tower Master perished to protect the way, shielding Shenzhou.

From that moment, black hair turned gray, and the mountains and rivers were eternally silent.
