Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 79 - Nine Mystic Trial Tower

The first layer could be used for storage!

A space three zhang high and ten zhang around—how much could be stored within?

Not to mention anything else, if one encountered a situation of being chased and killed, one could simply hide inside the tower, shrink the tower’s body, and then who would be able to find it?

This is the first function of the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, but it’s not the most precious one.

Starting from the second layer, each one has a formation that conjures up a guardian enemy.

Defeat one, and you could climb to the next layer to challenge the enemy above.

And yes, defeating these enemies comes with rewards.

——When the tower was created, countless treasures were sealed within, but to claim them, one must challenge the guardians of all nine layers, each corresponding to the nine realms from Spirit Gathering Realm to Divinity Transformation Realm!

Of course, you could only get a reward once per layer.

After clearing a layer, the Array Spirit will not generate an enemy to meet your challenge there again.

This might not seem much, and even if one cleared all nine layers, one would only gain nine treasures.

However, the key point is that not only could Zhou Heng undertake the challenges, but he could also allow any person he wished to enter and challenge them to receive rewards as well!

That’s why it’s called the Nine Mystic Trial Tower!

What a massive profit!

Zhou Heng laughed heartily, his mouth almost splitting with joy.

Oh, right!

With a flicker of his figure, he stepped out of the treasure pagoda, casually shrank and pocketed it, and asked the child-formed Array Spirit, “How is my companion doing now?”

“Almost dead!” The child said expressionlessly.

Being an inanimate object, life and death held no difference to it.

“I am the temporary master of the Heart Net Hall now, am I not?

I order you to release her immediately!” Zhou Heng said urgently, as he was quite fond of Gu Zi.

“As you wish!” The child bowed slightly and with a gesture of his right hand, a human figure materialized out of thin air.

Whoosh, a streak of piercing cold light flashed by, and fierce assault began the moment the figure appeared.

Zhou Heng didn’t even have the energy to curse, hastily deploying the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, narrowly dodging the attack in a blink of an eye.

“Eh, why am I here?

And why are you here?” That figure was naturally Gu Zi.

Her right hand held a sword, her left hand was shaped like a palm, and her clothes were somewhat tattered, revealing skin as delicate as creamy white jade, thankfully the top-grade and extremely large breasts were undamaged.

“Is this how you treat your lifesaver?” Zhou Heng exclaimed, truly a Initial Separation Realm expert’s Sword Qi had grazed him, leaving a wound on his lower abdomen.

“Sorry, it wasn’t aimed at you!” Gu Zi immediately said, her attitude sincere and devoid of Initial Separation Realm arrogance.

Adding this to the count, you owe me two lives!” Zhou Heng explained the situation.

He requested the Array Spirit to take action at just the right time, as Gu Zi was being besieged by nine Silver Men.

Because the challenger was powerful, the nine Silver Men she faced were all of Initial Separation First Layer Heaven level!

Fortunately, she could be considered monster level as well.

Although she couldn’t wipe out the nine Silver Men with a single sword strike like Zhou Heng, she had struggled on until now, nearly reaching the brink of collapse.

Lucky for her, the Array Spirit transported her over, or else she wouldn’t have lasted another half a minute!

That’s why she launched an attack as soon as she appeared, as if facing a formidable enemy.

“Yes, I owe you two lives!” Gu Zi said seriously, with absolute earnestness.

“Heh heh, then you’ll have to marry me!” Zhou Heng shrugged and joked.

“Okay!” Gu Zi agreed without blinking an eye as if she was just agreeing to go for a lunch, “From now on, I am your woman!”

Zhou Heng regretted it instantly; he was just joking, but he had forgotten that this utterly serious woman couldn’t differentiate between jokes and earnest words.

Serious people are always stubborn, and he didn’t think that Gu Zi was just being impulsive.

“Do you want me now?” Gu Zi asked calmly.

Zhou Heng’s mouth twitched—such a straightforward question!

But then again, being asked such a question by a super beautiful woman did stir something inside him, and a surge of lust suddenly soared.

Having consumed the fruit of the Golden Sun Grass King, he had become incredibly sensitive in that regard; he was already reacting.

“Forget it, pretend I didn’t say anything!” Zhou Heng’s face was filled with misery, his joke had backfired on him.

He bent over and told the Array Spirit, “Any other benefits?

After all, I’m the only one who’s completed the trial in so many years; bring everything out!”

“There’s nothing left; the most precious and only treasure of Heart Net Hall is the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, which is now yours,” the Array Spirit said.

Zhou Heng sighed, thinking he was indeed a little too greedy; the Nine Mystic Trial Tower itself was a huge treasure trove, so why long for anything else?

But treasure trove or not, if it’s all outflow and no income, even the largest treasure trove could run dry eventually!

He wondered how much was left for him now!

“Then, send us away!”

“As you wish!” The Array Spirit waved its hand, and Zhou Heng with Gu Zi vanished from the hall in an instant.

Meanwhile, the childlike figure of the spirit also gradually faded, waiting for the next adventurer or group of adventurers to arrive.

However, the next time, even if someone successfully made it through, they wouldn’t be able to receive any rewards.

…

Ripples appeared in the air and, with a sudden jolt, Zhou Heng and Gu Zi tumbled out.

Both were experts, so naturally, they steadied themselves with a flip and looked around; they had arrived at the entrance to the Abandoned Domain where they first entered.

“Where are you headed?” Gu Zi asked Zhou Heng.

“Continue roaming the forest, hunting Demon Beasts!”

“Mm!” Gu Zi nodded, docile as a little kitten.

“Hey, you’re not really planning to follow me, are you?” Zhou Heng was overwhelmed.

“I am your woman, of course, I’ll follow you!” Gu Zi looked at Zhou Heng quizzically.

His gaze swept over her ample bosom, and Zhou Heng couldn’t help but feel a stir in his heart.

The mischief that hadn’t subsided earlier now flared up even more.

He looked at Gu Zi and said, “Can I trust you?”

“You can!” Gu Zi said flatly, yet her tone hid a firmness that was beyond measure.

Serious women are indeed stubborn!

Zhou Heng immediately made up his mind.

Was he to be outdone by a woman in decisiveness?

He took out the Nine Mystic Trial Tower and said, “This is a treasure I obtained from the Heart Net Hall!” He tossed it aside casually, and with a thought, the tower swelled to a size of thirty feet.

Gu Zi’s expression tightened, but her face remained calm as she spoke, “This has to be at least a Nascent Soul Realm Magic Artifact for it to change size like this!”

Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, “Let’s go in!”

He led Gu Zi into the Treasure Pagoda.

With another thought, the Nine Mystic Trial Tower shrank to the size of a speck of dust, undetectable to anyone.

“Starting from the second floor, you can challenge opponents in succession.

If you win, you will receive rewards!” Zhou Heng briefly explained.

“Do you want to give it a try?”

“Mm!” Gu Zi nodded.

“Let me restore my Spiritual Power first.” She took out a Spirit Stone and began to refine it, simply sitting beside Zhou Heng as if she had no guard up against him at all.

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

He was a man after all, did she really think he lacked passion?

Not only did he have it, but it was also abundant!

Damn Golden Sun Grass!

Zhou Heng, fueled by passion, quickly climbed the stairs to the second floor, aiming to vent his frustrations through combat.

Beyond the last stair was a Gate of Light.

After passing through, he found himself in a huge cylindrical space, approximately a hundred zhang in diameter and a thousand zhang in height.

There was no light source, but the space was bright nonetheless.

A shadow flickered, and a massive rat appeared out of nowhere, its body pitch black and covered with long hair sharp as arrows.

Arrow Rat!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

As soon as the Arrow Rat appeared, it attacked Zhou Heng, its bristles detaching and raining down on him like a volley of arrows.

Peak Third Layer Heaven!

Zhou Heng’s eyes narrowed as he executed the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, dodging the darts.

He shook his fists; one turned to gold, the other became Purple Flame, and he counterattacked the Arrow Rat.

Bang, bang, bang!

After a chaotic battle, Zhou Heng quickly gained the upper hand, blasting the Arrow Rat into scattered points of light.

Compared to the Silver Man from the first trial of the Heart Net Hall, which was only of the Second Layer Heaven, the difficulty this Third Layer Heaven Arrow Rat posed was a hundred times less!

After all, the trials in the Heart Net Hall were set to select the master of the Nine Mystic Trial Tower.

Naturally, they were much harder, and this place was simply for “trials.” If it were as tough as the Silver Man, who could win?

Suddenly, Zhou Heng remembered that he’d have to ask Gu Zi about the terrifying techniques the Silver Man possessed.

If he could master such simple yet profound techniques, his battle power would surely increase tenfold!

Clang, a copper mirror appeared out of thin air and fell to the ground.

Was this the reward for passing the trial?

Zhou Heng picked it up, and immediately, a piece of information was transmitted to him.

Treasure Moon Mirror, able to condense Essence of Moonlight into Moon Beads.

“Moon Beads?” Zhou Heng scratched his head.

What was that?

Never mind, he would ask Gu Zi later; she was from the Lone Extinct Sect, and as a Nascent Soul Realm expert, her knowledge was surely more profound than his.

He had wanted to check out the third floor but found that he could not pass the light barrier and thus returned disappointedly.

It seemed that without reaching a certain realm, he did not even qualify to attempt the challenge.

Zhou Heng returned to the first floor and sat down with Gu Zi, waiting for her to awaken.
