Xuantian Academy covers a vast area, and within Xuantian Academy, there are several small peaks.
At this moment, on the back mountain of Xuantian Academy, Aotian and the other two were staring in astonishment at the building before them.
It was a giant tower, nine stories high, adorned with mysterious runes that filled the tower with a heavy aura.
Aotian believed that the defenses of this tower were absolutely terrifying; even if a warrior from the Celestial Spirit Realm attempted to attack it, they would likely find it impossible to break through in a short time.
"This tower is the Treasure Vault of Xuantian Academy, also known as the Treasure Tower," the Elder said, pointing at the tall structure while addressing Aotian and his companions.
Seeing the shock on Aotian's faces, the Elder couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. He continued, "The Treasure Tower stores countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, as well as Weapon Elixirs. There are nine levels in total, and the higher you go, the more precious the items become."
Upon hearing the Elder's words, Aotian and his companions couldn't help but gaze eagerly at the ninth level of the Treasure Tower.
"According to the rewards, you can choose any item once you enter the tower. However, I must remind you that while the rewards are tempting, they are not so easily obtained!" As he spoke, a mischievous smile appeared on the Elder's face.
Aotian and his companions were momentarily taken aback and then looked at the Elder with confusion.
"There is an array set up by me and the Dean inside the Treasure Tower. This array will make the air density within the tower extremely thick. In other words, once you step into the tower, gravity will increase exponentially. The higher you go, the heavier the gravity becomes."
After hearing what the Elder said, Aotian and his companions' expressions turned serious.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. As for what items you can obtain, it depends on your luck."
After saying this, the Elder began to form hand seals and then infused them into the Treasure Tower.
Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the Treasure Tower, stopping before Aotian and his companions and transforming into a doorway of light large enough for one person to pass through.
"If you are ready, step into the Light Gate! Inside the Light Gate is the first level of the Treasure Tower."
At this moment, the Grand Elder spoke again.
Upon hearing this, Aotian and his companions couldn't help but take a deep breath, then exchanged glances before stepping into the Light Gate in an orderly manner.
As the last person stepped through, the Light Gate instantly vanished.
The Grand Elder stood quietly, gazing at the Treasure Tower, lost in thought for a long time...
Once they stepped through the Light Gate, Aotian felt as if the world was spinning, and his eyes instinctively closed. When he opened them again, a heavy pressure suddenly bore down on him from all directions, causing his knees to bend slightly.
Aotian's expression changed; he realized he was already inside the Treasure Tower. Although countless treasures awaited him, obtaining them would not be easy. The terrifying gravity was something ordinary people could not withstand.
Then, Aotian looked around. Even with his remarkable composure, he was stunned by the scene before him.
All around were golden stone walls, each engraved with mysterious runes. As Aotian gazed at them, a sense of solidity rose within him.
Clearly, Xuantian Academy had set up formations within the Treasure Tower to prevent anyone from causing destruction.
However, what truly shocked Aotian was not these runes but the items surrounding him.
He saw neatly arranged tables in the Treasure Tower, filled with various items. There were elixirs, weapons, and some rare spiritual herbs. In short, things that were scarce in the outside world were almost everywhere here.
Suddenly, two gasps came from behind Aotian:
"Ah, isn't that Azure Spirit Grass? There are nearly a hundred stalks?! This thing is nearly extinct in the outside world!"
"Is that Human Spirit Fruit? This item once caused a fierce battle between two Spirit Realm Martial Artists!"
Aotian glanced back and saw that Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong were gazing around at the precious items with eager eyes.
Aotian smiled slightly; he knew what had astonished them was indeed exceptionally valuable. However, it did not hold much benefit for him at the moment.
Moreover, during this trip to the Treasure Tower, he could only choose one item. Such opportunities were rare, and Aotian naturally would not waste it on the first level.
"Gentlemen, I'm heading to the second level now. Be careful!"
Aotian said to Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong. The two were still in shock and seemed to be lost in thought. Seeing this, Aotian shook his head helplessly and stepped onto the second level.
As Aotian entered the second level of the Treasure Tower, he immediately felt the gravity around him increase several times again. Fortunately, Aotian had cultivated the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body and had reached the second transformation stage.
Thus, this gravity did not put too much pressure on Aotian. However, the items on the second level were indeed much more precious than those on the first level, with some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures making Aotian's mouth water.
Nevertheless, Aotian did not let small gains lead to significant losses. After confirming that there was nothing extremely valuable, he stepped into the third level...
While Aotian and the others were selecting items in the Treasure Tower, a significant event was occurring in Fengyun Nation.
Outside the Treasure Tower, the Grand Elder frowned upon hearing a report from a Student, looking somewhat troubled.
"Did Su Yuan and Zhou Wenping really die in the Imperial City?"
"Absolutely! Everyone in the Imperial City is discussing this matter. It won't be long before news spreads throughout Fengyun Nation," the Student replied respectfully.
"Have we found out who did it?" the Grand Elder continued to inquire.
"Not yet, but the Vice Dean has already gone to investigate personally. I believe news will come soon," the Student answered.
The Grand Elder nodded and then waved his hand for the Student to withdraw.
Looking at the distant figure of the Student, the Elder couldn't help but sigh softly and murmur:
"What a troublesome time..."
Aotian was unaware that Su Yuan from the Heavenly Nether Gate and Zhou Wenping from the Ice River Sect had already fallen victim to treachery. At this moment, he found himself on the Seventy-Third layer of the Treasure Tower.
The gravity on the Seventy-Third layer had reached a terrifying level, making each step for Aotian extremely difficult. His Soul Power and Transformation Technique were fully activated.
If it weren't for Aotian's cultivation of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body, which significantly enhanced his physical strength, he would likely be lying on the ground unable to move.
Even so, every step Aotian took remained incredibly arduous, his speed comparable to that of a turtle.
Yet despite this, Aotian's eyes were still filled with determination. After surveying his surroundings, they sparkled with desire.
It could be said that every item on the Seventy-Third layer was extraordinarily precious; just one of them could incite a bloody storm within Fengyun Nation.
Nevertheless, Aotian did not choose any items but instead fixed his gaze on the Eighth Layer...
