Chapter 1019 Azure Cloud City, Comprehension True Tower

A province named after a person?

Xiao Qinghe was bewildered because he had never considered that before. 

Lin Xun questioned, “Don’t you find it strange that there are so many provinces in the East Victory World, but only this one is named after Baiyujing?”

Xiao Qinghe fell into deep thought and said, “When you say that, I do recall a legend about Baiyujing.”

Lin Xun perked up. “What legend?” 

“It is rumored that in ancient times, there were traces of immortals in Baiyujing. The twelve towers and five cities were said to be created by immortals.

“As for whether it is true or not, no one can say for certain, but the origin of the twelve towers is still a mystery to this day.

“Before the Omega Sword Ancestor ascended the dao and before he founded the sect, the twelve towers already existed. It is a well-known fact that the Omega Sword Ancestor also trained in the twelve towers when he was still at the Cyclic Derivation Stage.” 

As Xiao Qinghe retold the rumors, he suddenly boldly speculated, “Say, could the mysterious existence called Bai Yujing be an immortal?”

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows. “Impossible.”

He had just stepped out of the Spirit Tempering Tower and personally witnessed the record created by Bai Yujing. If he was a legendary immortal, how could he train inside the Spirit Tempering Tower? 

“Then could he be the descendant of an immortal?” asked Xiao Qinghe.

Lin Xun trembled inwardly as he thought of the poem that had long been circulating.  

“The immortal caresses my top, my hair receives longevity.”

“Why did you suddenly ask about this? Could it be that you saw traces left by the mysterious Bai Yujing in the Spirit Tempering Tower?”

Undeniably, Xiao Qinghe was extremely sharp. His eyes gleamed as he pinpointed the key information in an instant. 

“No, I’m just curious.” Lin Xun shook his head.

Lin Xun didn’t want to say more, but Xiao Qinghe secretly kept a note of it in his mind. 

He planned to browse through some ancient books when he returned to the sect, hoping to find out about the mystery of Bai Yujing!

“Wait, don’t tell me you still plan to head to the Comprehension True Tower in Azure Cloud City?” Xiao Qinghe exclaimed when he noticed Lin Xun leaving Purple Air City. 

“What’s wrong with that?” Lin Xun asked back. 

“Are you not worried at all?”

Xiao Qinghe’s expression was strange, “Earlier, you beat the highest record in the Sword Training Tower, Mind Strengthening Tower, and the Spirit Tempering Tower. I believe it won’t be too long before your feats cause a sensation in Baiyujing.

“At that time, the Omega Sword Sect will also be alarmed. If those ruthless sword cultivators find out that you have gone to the Comprehension True Tower, then there will definitely be trouble for you.”

“Then I’ll just pass the Comprehension True Tower before they realize,” said Lin Xun casually.

As he was speaking, he already left Purple Air City at a tremendous speed. 

“Lunatic!” Xiao Qinghe gasped. It was the first time he met such a fearless guy. 

Even so, he didn’t hesitate to follow Lin Xun. 

……

Baiyujing was also known as twelve towers and five cities, but it consisted of more than five cities.

It spanned an enormous area, covering thousands of cities and endless mountains and rivers.

Among them, only the five cities had been standing since ancient times and were steeped in legends so they were well known to the world. 

As for the twelve towers, they were the places of historic interest in the five cities. Each one had its own mysteriousness that made it famous in the world. 

For example, the Purple Air City consisted of three remarkable ancient sites: The Sword Tempering Tower, the Mind Strengthening Tower and the Spirit Tempering Tower. 

The Azure Cloud City, which Lin Xun was heading to, was also one of the Five Cities and where two of the twelve towers were located.

They were the Comprehension True Tower and the Dao Practice Tower. 

The former was a place to hone and test one’s comprehension. 

The latter was a place for refining grand dao power.  

An hour later. 

Azure Cloud City, Comprehension True Tower.

As soon as Lin Xun arrived, he, without any hesitation, paid three thousand top-grade aeth essences as a fee to enter the building.  

Xiao Qinghe also came. As he raised his head to look at the tower, his mind churned like mad. 

Comprehension was not only related to the strength of one’s spirit, but also related to one’s talent and aptitude. It was the most mysterious power of a cultivator.

When Yun Qingbai was nineteen years old, he was already the best among the younger generation of the Omega Sword Sect in terms of comprehension. He once comprehended and mastered a superb sword dao art in less than ten days. 

One day, Yun Qingbai disappeared mysteriously and remained silent for a full ten years.

But ten years later, he awakened another kind of innate talent power, which could be called boundlessly terrifying since it helped him create the most dazzling record in the history of the Comprehension True Tower!

His earthshaking record set off visions across heaven and earth. Eighteen golden great dao flowers descended in the shape of a sword, and auspicious light rained down and illuminated the sky of Azure Cloud City!

“The Comprehension True Tower has thirty-six comprehension tablets, each of which contains obscure and profound secrets. Only those with extraordinary comprehension can solve them one by one.” 

“Back then, Yun Qingbai unraveled and comprehended the secrets of thirty-six tablets in thirty-six breaths. His feat shook the world. I wonder if this abnormal guy can compete with Yun Qingbai in terms of comprehension…” Xiao Qinghe murmured.

But immediately, his eyes went as wide as if he had seen a ghost.

Lin Xun came out from Comprehension True Tower!

How long had passed?

No more than ten breaths!

Forcefully suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart, Xiao Qinghe asked, “Why did you come out so early, did you encounter some sort of setback?”

Lin Xun looked puzzled. “What setback?”

No setbacks?

Xiao Qinghe’s voice trembled. “Do you mean…you already…” 

Lin Xun nodded. “It was just a test and tempering of comprehension. This tower is rather boring. I wonder how the Dao Practice Tower is.” He walked away as he was speaking. 

The corners of Xiao Qinghe’s lips twitched. Rather boring? Since ancient times, the Comprehension True Tower has obstructed many young heroes and made countless cultivators feel despair.

Who dared to call it rather boring? 

“Damn, who is this abnormal guy?”

“This isn’t right! If he passed the Comprehension True Tower in such a short period, then he must have beaten Yun Qingbai’s record. Why haven’t there been any strange phenomena?”

Xiao Qinghe frowned, sensing something was wrong.

He quickly chased after Lin Xun without thinking too much.

……

Not long after the two left, Tu Xiu arrived in front of the Comprehension True Tower as usual.

His figure was as striking as a blade, as straight as a sword, and a look of iciness flashed in his eyes. 

He was one of the current true disciples of the Omega Sword Sect, and he was good enough to be ranked among the top three true disciples in terms of combat strength.

Moreover, he had a deep foundation, and he could crush even core disciples from other ancient sects and clans!

But only he himself knew that, compared to other true disciples of the Omega Sword Sect, his comprehension was inferior. 

Therefore, in the past year, he often came to Comprehension True Tower to hone his comprehension to make up for his shortcomings. That would greatly increase his chance of becoming a core disciple!

Huh?

Just as he was about to enter the tower as usual, his footsteps paused and he abruptly raised his head.
