Chapter 297: Star Tower, Fire

Chapter 297: Star Tower, Fire

Jiang Li only roughly recovered after a long time.

In fact, he had only been affected by the residue of the Nine-Tailed Fox’s charm for a few seconds. However, the feeling of his mind being bewitched still made him break out in a cold sweat.

If the dragon blood and blood of madness in his body could not awaken his consciousness, he could only rely on his other parallel minds to think of a way to awaken himself.

He did not expect that his clone would not cause any trouble when he entered the underground palace of Fengdu City. He had only come here to explore the Fox Immortal Queen’s Tomb and had almost fallen for it.

If he was really charmed by this stone statue for 200 years, he would probably be too ashamed to go out and see people in the future.

After mentally preparing himself, he raised his head again and checked the stone statue.

The Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox’s charming aura was still present. He could still be bewitched at any time.

However, after obtaining the passive skill “Iron Will”, even if the foxy residue invaded again, he could still maintain consciousness for a period of time.

In theory, this was a passive skill that he could only obtain after being in a charmed environment for 200 years. Although the name sounded ordinary, ordinary straight men could not compare to him in terms of mental strength now.

As long as he removed the negative status in time while awake, the problem would not be much.

However, this Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox was really powerful. It was indeed worthy of being a top-notch prehistoric variant.

Logically speaking, it had already been killed long before the Cultivationless Age, and it had experienced the baptism of countless years and the ruthless destruction of its spiritual qi. Up until now, only a little residue remained, and it was actually able to directly cause Jiang Li to be struck without him noticing.

If not for his cheat, he might have already died here.

The immortals and gods of the ancient times were far stronger than the imaginative limit of this era. If they could still live until today, any immortal would probably be able to easily overturn the current cultivation world of the Nine Provinces.

Jiang Li had been paying attention to his interface status, ready to eliminate the influence of the fox demon at any time.

Only then did he slowly approach the stone statue and carefully inspect it. With the charming aura, he discovered that there was a circle of cracks around the entire neck of the stone statue. It looked as if it had been cut off and placed there.

The ancient immortals and their statues had an inexplicable connection. In the end, Daji was beheaded by the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber and died.

If the owner’s head could not be connected, the neck of the stone statue would naturally be the same.

Unfortunately, once Nine Tails died, the Green Mountain lineage withered away. Now, besides the two or three large foxes he saw earlier, he did not know if any other branches had survived.

There was a coffin behind the statue. After carefully opening it, it was empty.

The corpse of the Nine-Tailed Fox was not here.

Inside was a heart that had already turned to stone.

He threw the appraisal skill.

[Name: Unknown Heart Fossil]

[Type: Trash]

[Formation: Mining Erosion]

[Elementary Element: Unknown]

[Secondary Element: Unknown]

[Description: Can be embedded in a specific grove.]

That stone heart was very similar to a human’s, but also slightly different from a normal heart.

Ordinary people’s hearts had two atria and two ventricles. To put it bluntly, they had four orifices.

Judging from the appearance of this stone heart, it clearly had three atria, three ventricles, and an unknown aperture in the center.

This heart might have come from some large beast of heaven and earth, or one with multiple limbs. The heart might need to provide more precise and powerful blood circulation. It was very normal for the heart to grow differently from humans.

However, seeing a heart with seven orifices that was hidden in Daji’s tomb, Jiang Li could not help but to recall another myth.

Was this the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart?

Legend had it that the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart could communicate with everything in the world and destroy all illusions. Eating this heart could even heal all injuries.

What level was the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox’s illusion technique at? After tens of thousands of years, even a little residue could knock down Jiang Li who had multiple mental resistance.

At its peak, even the Golden Immortals of the two sects would not dare to say that they could firmly withstand it.

However, relying on the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart it was easier to break through the illusion technique than relying on a mortal’s body. Its effects were even greater than divine abilities.

Unfortunately, this heart had already turned to stone. He did not know if it was still useful.

Jiang Li reached out and picked up the Seven Orifices Stone Heart, pouring spiritual qi into it as an attempt.

In the end, he discovered that the structure of the seven orifices inside the stone heart seemed to be very special. When spiritual qi poured into it, it was as if it had walked into a maze. It circled around the seven orifices of the stone heart, but it could only enter and not leave.

Just this seven orifices structure was very useful to an array master.

Under normal circumstances, he should bring it home and study it slowly.

However, in the description of appraisal, the heart seemed to be able to embed itself in some groove, so where should it be placed?

Jiang Li turned around and looked at the stone statue of Daji.

Jiang Li suddenly thought of something, and he called two ghost fox demons forward to move the beautiful head away.

“Forgive me, Queen Mother Fox Immortal.”

After the two fox demons ate the Nine Nether Earth Fruit, Jiang Li had already become their only master.

With their master’s orders, they even dared to go and remove the head of the Nine-Tailed Goddess statue that was revered as their deity.

Jiang Li went forward to take a look. The stone statue was indeed empty.

The stone heart from before was placed into the hole on his neck and filled perfectly.

After taking back the stone statue’s head and putting it on, a magical scene occurred. The gap between the completely broken stone statue actually seemed to have a life of its own. It healed before Jiang Li’s eyes and became a complete body.

The healing ability of this Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart was a little too powerful. It could even reattach the stone statue’s head.

If it was fresh, just a piece of meat might really be able to save a True Immortal.

Before Jiang Li could sigh with emotion, right when the crack on the stone statue’s neck had completely vanished, a golden light shot out from between its brows. He did not have the time to react before he was immediately enveloped by the golden light, and in the next moment, he had already vanished on the spot.

Jiang Li felt weightlessness and pressure. It was as if he had been thrown into a turbo-fueled aircraft engine. Then, a moment later, golden light enveloped his vision. He and the sword cultivator clone were thrown onto a lake that was as calm as a mirror.

Jiang Li’s head was a little dizzy as he lay on the surface of the lake. His body did not sink, and the dizziness from the sudden teleportation disappeared. The dream-like scene before his eyes gradually became clear.

Above was a resplendent river of stars, and below was a river of stars reflected in the mirror lake.

In this space, it was as if he was in the universe, surrounded by endless stars. It was beautiful and breathtaking.

Cultivating a star-type cultivation method here would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort. If he interacted with female cultivators here, he would definitely obtain an astonishing effect.

Unfortunately… under such circumstances, only Jiang Li and his sword cultivator clone were staring at each other.

He had nothing to say to himself.

The clone handed the golden light that he had caught in the underground palace to the main body.

Then, he brought the carefree grass and the Soul Dissolution Liquor into the coffin.

He could not wait to plant the carefree grass. With this spiritual grass, his Yin Burial Space would become even more netherworld than the netherworld.

Fortunately, he had his clone keep a few carefree plants in advance. The battle between the Ghost Kings was really too terrifying.

They plowed through the entire plains. When he arrived, he did not even see a single grass left.

He believed that in the following period of time, the price of the spider lily and carefree grass would rise exponentially. He could still rely on these two spiritual materials to make a huge profit.

Ignoring these things for the time being, the golden light in Jiang Li’s hand had already gradually dispersed, and it revealed its original appearance.

What appeared in Jiang Li’s hand was an extremely ancient map. On it was the terrain of ancient times, and it was marked with an address.

However, the map did not explain in detail, and Jiang Li could only guess that it was related to the Human Emperor. He was unable to see through anything else for the time being, so he put it away.

The gains from before were still satisfactory, but the most important thing now was to figure out where he was.

“So, what’s going on with this space?”

Jiang Li stood in the two brilliant galaxies, not knowing where to go.

The underground palace and the Nine-tailed Tomb had both set up triggerable teleportation golden lights. He believed that the last Human Emperor would not be bored enough to invite a person tens of thousands of years later to come here to see the stars.

There should be some goal. However, perhaps because it had been too long and some of the settings had failed, he did not receive any notifications.

Helpless, Jiang Li could only walk in one direction. His luck was not bad, so he could only try his luck now!

Jiang Li had tried before, but he was still unable to fly in this Star Space, and the height of his sword was not much higher than a skateboard.

This kind of flying restriction effect was quite powerful. If he could learn how to set up a flying restriction array formation, this trip would not have been in vain.

However, now, he could only walk in one direction with his legs.

When a person was in pitch-black darkness or did not have a fixed physical object to determine their exact location, they would think that they were walking in a straight line, but in fact, they would often walk in the shape of a vortex that was spiraling inward.

Jiang Li naturally knew this, so he raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky as he walked forward.

Two hours, four hours, six hours… Ten hours passed. Jiang Li could not determine how much he had walked because he looked around. It was almost identical to the place he had entered at the beginning.

Just like when ordinary people walked at night, they would feel as if the stars and moon in the sky were following them.

Although Jiang Li could move forward like a perpetual motion machine, after this kind of hard work, the effects and feeling still dealt a considerable blow to his confidence.

Could it be that King Zhou had a bad taste and deliberately tricked the people behind him? With that unruly personality, it was really not impossible.

Jiang Li, who was a little discouraged, simply lay down for a while. However, he lay on the surface of the lake and looked at the stars in the sky. With his greatly improved memory after cultivating his mind, he completely copied this heart disk in his mind.

After lying there for a long time, no other cultivators intruded. It seemed that this honor was really his only.

He got up and continued forward. After an unknown period of time, Jiang Li suddenly noticed a red star in the sky that seemed to have moved its location.

It was good that there was a change. Jiang Li immediately became excited. He increased his speed and ran forward.

The other distant stars did not move, but this red star… It felt like the stars under his feet were the reflection of the sky, and the red star seemed to be reflecting the light on the ground!

In other words, there was a light source in that direction.

Jiang Li summoned the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword and flashed towards the red star.

After flying for half a day, the positions of the other stars did not change drastically. The red star began to get closer and closer.

Soon, as he thought, the reflected light entered his vision.

In the distance, Jiang Li saw a towering pagoda-like building.

It was a red light emitted from the ashes of the charcoal that had yet to be extinguished after the wood was burned by the flames.

It was actually a torch that had yet to be completely extinguished.

After approaching, Jiang Li saw its name on a stone monument by the side of the pagoda.

Star Tower.

Was this the Star Tower that King Zhou had built for Daji?

Star Tower, oh Star Tower. Did King Zhou really pluck a lot of stars and bring them to this space for her?

In ancient times, as the Human Emperor, he could really do whatever he wanted.

This entire Star Tower was built from exquisite wood and stone, towering into the starry sky.

However, the current Star Tower was quite dangerous.

This was because the wood on it was completely carbonized. It looked like it could not withstand weight at all.

However, why did these charcoal not extinguish? How did a huge fire burn from the Divine Investiture Battle to today?

Jiang Li thought about it. Even if this building collapsed, he would most likely not die from the fall. Under the current situation, he would probably not be able to leave if he did not go up this building. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to move.

Jiang Li had just stepped onto the steps when the red charcoal immediately ignited.

The temperature of the flames was extremely high. Even Jiang Li’s fire resistance could not withstand it.

He only lasted for a few breaths before hurriedly retreating. If it continued any longer, his Cloud-Treading Boots would probably be ruined.

He retracted his foot, and the flames slowly extinguished. Then, a few carbon-red words appeared on the carbonized steps.

“Step on the platform bare-footed, use the blood of a human to extinguish the fire.”

Human blood? Fire?

Was the pagoda furnace burning with fire? No wonder it was so powerful.

After Jiang Li understood the ancient text, he opened his palm. The Immortal Slaying Flying Sword transformed into a black light and flew over, cutting a hole in his palm.

With the sharpness of the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword, he did not even notice the pain before the wound appeared.

He reached out and placed his hand on the steps. He shook it, but no blood flowed out.

Jiang Li flipped his palm to take a look. The wound from before had completely healed in just a moment. This self-healing ability was too powerful, and it was sometimes troublesome.

He could only reach out and grab the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword. The blade cut deeply through the flesh of his palm and embedded itself in it to prevent healing.

He grabbed the flying sword and placed it on the steps. Droplets of fresh red blood landed on the first step. The carbon wood that was originally emitting a slight red light immediately extinguished. Moreover, it seemed to have turned back time and returned to its original intact red paint.

It was really possible. It seemed that the humans of the ancient era and their current human race had not changed much.

This Star Tower was the last place where King Zhou burned himself. Under the fire, the flesh and blood of the last Human Emperor completely fused into this building.

Perhaps it was precisely because of the flesh and blood of the Human Emperor that as long as the human race was not destroyed in the continent of the Nine Provinces, the flames of the Star Tower would not be extinguished. Only the blood of humans could be acknowledged and be allowed to pass through.

Now, there was a way to pass through. However, Jiang Li looked at the tower that was almost impossible to see the top of and could not help but feel a little depressed.

Was this using him as a tap? How many of him would be sucked dry if he went up step by step?

If not for the fact that he had the Blood Nourishment status, he would definitely turn around and leave to find another way out.

“The last Human Emperor’s Star Tower? I, Jiang Li, am going up there to have a look.”

He took off his Cloud-Treading Boots and stood on the steps barefooted.

Then, he held the flying sword and dripped blood in front of him. After the fire on the steps was extinguished, he climbed up step by step.

As Jiang Li’s blood dripped, his footsteps continued to rise. The entire Star Tower seemed to have started to turn back time, slowly recovering its original appearance.

After fusing into the pagoda, the blood of the Human Emperor, which had been silent for countless years, sensed the aura of a human and slowly became active in the fire.
