Chapter 5796: Entering the Nine Tribulations Tower
But as his Thought power touched the Nine Tribulations Tower, a violent aura directly pushed him back.
His divine body began to fragment.
He suffered some considerable injuries.
Despite the injuries, Jian Wushuang smiled.
The stronger, the better.
This also confirmed his speculation.
This Nine Tribulations Tower indeed had some connection with the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard.
And the auras of the two were converging.
The converging aura continuously rose, floating in the sky of the cave world.
A magnificent bridge appeared.
Jian Wushuang looked up at the huge bridge, which emanated a terrifying power.
His gaze shifted, and when he looked behind the bridge, Jian Wushuang was stunned.
Vaguely, he saw a huge nine-story divine tower towering behind the bridge.
This time, he didn’t need to use Thought power to enter.
He could just walk in.
After healing his injuries, he cautiously walked towards the Nine Tribulations Tower.
All of this seemed like an illusion, the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard and the Nine Tribulations Tower, on the surface, had already overlapped.
The atmosphere was forged by the auras of these two treasures.
But Jian Wushuang was willing to explore.
Step by step, he crossed the bridge and arrived at the foot of the Nine Tribulations Tower.
Looking up, he couldn’t see the top of the tower.
It soared into the clouds!
“Indeed extraordinary, its power is not weaker than the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard!” Jian Wushuang exclaimed in his heart.
The Ancient Moon Spacetime had never produced any Temporal Treasures.
Could it be that those artifacts passed down were all Temporal Treasures?
Jian Wushuang unconsciously shook his head.
If that were true.
Then Temporal Treasures would be like cabbages.
This was the River of Time.
Not the depths of the Starry Sky.
If it were said that there were many Temporal Treasures within the Starry Sky, he believed it.
Since arriving in the Ancient Moon Spacetime, he had come to understand.
The so-called Nine Great Spacetimes were actually upstream spacetimes.
Because they were close to the Starry Sky, their overall strength was much stronger than the midstream and downstream.
But in terms of inheritance and treasures.
It’s not necessarily the case.
The inheritance of the Qishen Temple, on the contrary, was more suitable for him.
Moreover, there were Temporal Treasures in the Qishen Temple.
Although they were left behind by the shattered Higher Heavens, they existed after all.
Not like the Ancient Moon Spacetime, where not a single one had appeared.
The Nine Tribulations Tower, it was considered the first one!
And it ended up in the hands of Jian Wushuang, an outsider.
At the base of the tower, a massive golden gate blocked Jian Wushuang’s path.
With a single palm thrust, a burst of energy exploded, directly hitting the golden gate.
The golden gate opened in response.
Everything went smoothly.
So smoothly that Jian Wushuang felt a bit uneasy.
But he pressed on regardless.
Within the Nine Tribulations Tower, a strange aura emanated, almost like it was drawing him in involuntarily.
As he stepped inside, Jian Wushuang felt an unprecedented sense of ease, even his mood improved.
That feeling of complete relaxation also boosted his combat power slightly.
Clasping his fists, he felt a surge of energy, everything felt different.
He moved his body casually, feeling much more agile.
At this moment, he began to observe his surroundings.
The interior of the tower was unusually spacious.
The colors were dull!
In the center, there was a faint white pillar of light.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be natural light filtering in from above.
Nothing special about it.
For now, it seemed the Nine Tribulations Tower was only peculiar in its environment.
It didn’t seem to serve any other purpose.
But he wasn’t in a hurry.
It was the same when he obtained the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard initially.
The more powerful the treasure, the harder it was to comprehend.
Just as he was thinking this, reality slapped him in the face.
Within the white pillar of light, a figure suddenly appeared, startling Jian Wushuang.
Seeing the figure, he quickly stepped back.
His right hand reacted swiftly, gripping the sword hilt behind him, ready to confront the figure within the light pillar at any moment.
“Welcome to the Nine Tribulations Tower!” A stiff voice emanated from the figure within the light pillar.
The figure became more and more tangible.
It allowed Jian Wushuang to see the other’s appearance clearly.
Wearing a flamboyant mask, hair streaked with gray, and dressed in unusual attire.
A style he had never seen before.
The Nine Tribulations Tower originated from the Ancient Moon Ruins, perhaps this figure was one of the earliest practitioners from the Ancient Moon Spacetime.
It was normal not to have seen such attire before, Jian Wushuang reassured himself inwardly.
The stiff voice gave him the impression that it was more like a puppet.
So he didn’t beat around the bush, loudly inquiring, “Are you a machine puppet being or a practitioner sealed within the tower?”
“Neither!” replied the strangely attired masked figure, shaking their head.
Jian Wushuang’s eyes narrowed slightly, sensing that the person before him was indeed very much alive. However, their speech was stiff, like that of a puppet.
“If so, then why are you here?” he pressed.
Neither a puppet nor a practitioner, yet still within the Nine Tribulations Tower.
Could this person be the true owner of the tower?
It was a possibility.
Upon hearing this, the masked figure smirked, stepping out of the light beam leisurely, and said nonchalantly, “I’m just waiting for someone here.”
“The person you’re waiting for couldn’t possibly be me!” Jian Wushuang replied, lacking a bit of confidence.
He had felt a resonance between the Nine Tribulations Tower and the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard, believing it to be a treasure left by Teacher Xuan Yi.
Now, it seemed less likely.
It could also be that the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard resonated with treasures of the same level, causing him to misunderstand.
Regardless, gaining possession of the Nine Tribulations Tower was a win for him.
“It is you, but it’s also not you!” the masked figure spoke cryptically, shrouding their words in mystery.
Jian Wushuang cut to the chase, “Can you be more direct?”
“I’m waiting for someone to defeat me,” the masked figure replied casually, almost making Jian Wushuang burst into laughter.
He found it easy to converse with the figure because he could discern that their strength seemed lacking, despite emitting a faint divine aura.
Though unsure whether they were human or spirit, there was a faint taste of divine power, albeit weak, around them.
It was merely around 200,000 divine power.
With a breath, he could extinguish them.
“In that case, your wait ends today!” Jian Wushuang darted forward, launching a punch directly at the masked figure’s face.
The force behind this punch was at least 400,000 divine power, matching his base divine strength.
Dealing with someone with only 200,000 units of divine power should be simple.
Boom!
A tremendous explosion shattered the air.
Thinking he could easily defeat his opponent, Jian Wushuang was surprised to find the masked figure had vanished.
With a thought, Jian Wushuang froze.
The figure was now behind him, back turned, hands behind their back, appearing relaxed.
Their divine power remained at 200,000, unchanged.
“How is this possible?” Jian Wushuang exclaimed in disbelief. “Your divine power seems weak on the surface; how did you evade my attack?”
His previous punch not only contained a burst of divine power but also an explosion of speed.
Even a Universe Master couldn’t evade such a punch.
Yet, the figure did.
Indeed!
Things weren’t as simple as they seemed.
Initially, he thought the Nine Tribulations Tower would be like most treasures—nine levels, each guarded by a protector, defeating each yielding a treasure.
He had encountered such scenarios frequently.
