Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 171 Tower of Babel Demon Insect Tide

【Possa Divine Court】 originated from the ancestral court of a sect that was destroyed by 【Goddess Ego】.

This was one of the most glorious achievements in the Empress's life of cultivation.

This [Bosa Divine Court], as her most precious trophy, has also been successfully reforged by the Empress.

Yet, it still retains a trace of the pure essence of the great goddess [Posuo].

【Posuo】belongs to the Great Dao of Space, and its inherited title is also traced back to 【Great Lord of the Void】.

When Jing Qian landed upon it, his title of [Void Lord] was connected with the power of [Posuo], and a new title was forcibly bestowed upon him:
Mid-grade title: [Bodhisattva God Child]!
This title is equivalent to the rank of "Son of Jambudvipa" and is also a title that enhances spatial power.

However, after the presence of the Great Lord of the Myriad Phenomena of the Sumeru Great Dao Stele, the Divine Child of the Saha World is not worthy of being placed on the table.

However, his authority over the Great Dao was completely absorbed by the [Void Lord], and he gained even more.

More importantly, along with this title, Jing Qian inexplicably obtained a spatial beacon!
He sensed it carefully, and found that the spatial beacon pointed directly to the outer heavens.

It was not yet time to investigate further, so Jing Qian buried it in his heart and continued to delve deeper into the Divine Court.

The Tower District gave Jingqian a feeling very similar to the core CBD of a metropolis in his previous life, with towering towers of unique shapes, resembling skyscrapers.

The aura of these towers blends seamlessly with that of the [Bosa Divine Court], becoming one with it.

Looking around the tower, there are also many exquisitely built houses and palaces, secretly arranged.

However, all of these buildings are restricted to one floor.

Moreover, these houses are not integrated with the [Possa Divine Court]; they only have residential attributes and no divine blessing.

Behind each of the towering towers lies a top-tier Grand Spirit Official family within the Boundless Heavenly Dynasty.

Only those who are at least a second-rank or higher [Grand Spirit Official] are qualified to compete for a piece of land meticulously planned by the Empress.

Among hundreds of billions of people, the few hundred major repair families that have emerged from the intense competition have undoubtedly all undergone extremely brutal competition.

It is conceivable that the hundred peaks at the top of this tower are not ordinary people.

The Tower District contains a separate set of laws promulgated by the Empress Divine Physician, making it the place with the strictest legal system in the entire Celestial Empire.

Jing Qian was well-prepared for this, and his behavior was not out of line.

The area was sparsely populated, and the few people who did appear nodded to Su Yan and hurried away.

Jing Qian could see clearly that none of the people coming and going had any cultivation level below the third rank; they were at least cultivators at the [Subduing Spirit] or [Earthly Fiend] levels.

These people walk between the towers entirely on their two legs.

Those below the rank of "Grand Spirit Official" are not allowed to fly within the "Tower Zone".

Jing Qian could clearly sense an immense pressure emanating from the [Dongming Palace], preventing him from moving.

However, this suppression was reduced by more than 90% after he received the title of "Child of the Sacred World".

The group of people soon arrived at the tower built by the Su family.

Su Yan let out a long sigh and took the lead in stepping inside.

She was ordered to make this trip, which was quite arduous, but fortunately she did not fail in her mission.

During this process, he successfully eliminated the remaining poison of the [Heavenly Demon Child], achieved the third-grade [Heaven-Mending] cultivation, and completely changed his destiny.

At present, the Su family's inheritance has reached a new juncture. As long as the elder sister Su Qing also advances through poison, the situation can be greatly improved.

However, the competition among the various factions is fierce, and there will inevitably be those who cannot bear to see the Su family succeed.

Once the elder sister successfully advances to a higher level and participates in the struggle for power, the intensity of the competition will escalate dramatically.

Under the Empress's laws, if the descendants of meritorious officials like the Su family were content with the status quo and satisfied with their marginalized position, it would be unlikely that anyone would bully them.

However, if a new second-rank official is born and begins to vie for the position of [Great Spirit Official], no one will show mercy because of the sacrifices made by their ancestors.

As Su Yan's thoughts raced, she entered the main hall of the tower.

A tall, slender female general appeared before her with a smile.

Upon seeing her younger sister return, Su Qing attacked without saying a word, brandishing her gun.

A large, cold jade spear pierced through the moonlight, creating a sense of ethereal bliss.

Su Yan reacted quickly, donning golden armor and wielding a slingshot, engaging her sister in a fierce battle.

Now that she is a member of the [Heaven Mending] faction, this is the first time she has stood on equal footing with her elder sister, directly competing with her.

At this moment, Su Qing also spoke to Jing Qian and the others who were following closely behind:

"Su Zhao, Su Jing, Su Min'er!"

"Let everyone try their skills!"

After saying that, three armed figures stepped down from Su Qing's body.

Each one of them is Su Qing's embodiment of a gun.

She controlled her strength and attacked the three onlookers.

In an instant, four battlefields expanded within the Su family's tower, stirring up waves of magical storms.

This Tower of Babel possesses its own mystique; to outsiders, it appears as an ordinary skyscraper.

However, the interior space is quite spacious, without any sense of crampedness.

Su Yan, Su Zhao, and Su Min'er were locked in a fierce battle, their six spears intertwined like dragons and snakes, creating a dazzling display of spear blossoms.

Looking at Jing Qian's side, Su Qing's avatar took a sword strike from the [True Illusion Immortal Sword Embryo], which pierced through her chest, but she was not completely dead yet. She was twitching on the ground for a while, which shows that she has some skills.

After Su Jin's death, neither Su Qing nor Su Yan passed the selection process for the Imperial Academy.

Although his combat strength was several times higher than that of ordinary cultivators, he was no match for a Great Completion Dao Child.

Jing Qian remained silent, simply observing the battle.

In his mind, the relationship between him and the Su family was delicate. At present, they could only be described as mutually exploiting each other, and had not yet truly formed an alliance or found common core interests.

This battle is a chance for me to establish my authority and make Su Qing understand her own position.

However, Su Qing doesn't seem to think about things that way.

She was easily crushed by Jing Qian, but she didn't feel angry at all.

On the contrary, she felt quite excited.

The three matches ended quickly.

Su Yan and Su Zhao had just advanced to the third rank, their magical power cultivation was not yet fully developed, and their [Heavenly Mandate] had not been replenished. For the time being, they were suppressed by Su Qing.

Then, Su Qing spoke up again: "Little sister, take Su Zhao and Min'er to cleanse their bodies first."

"I'll show Su Jing around the tower."

Having said that, she led Jingqian and turned to walk towards the steps leading up the tower.

Jing Qian didn't know what Su Qing wanted to say to him, but he readily agreed and followed closely behind the female general.

The two walked up the stairs, circling around and around.

As Su Qing walked, she spoke:
"Above the Tower District, a total of 867 Towers of Heaven have been erected."

"The family relationships behind them are entangled and difficult to discern, and are extremely complex."

“Even a powerful family like the Wangs, who own ten towers, still harbors ambitions to acquire more land.”

"There are also those like my Su family, who guard a tower alone, and even that is extremely difficult."

"There is an empty plot of land, but the second tower has not been built yet."

"It's not that we don't want to, it's just that it's beyond our capabilities."

"Su Yan has already told me about what you two discussed."

"That piece of land was bestowed upon us by the Empress because my Su family ancestor made extraordinary military achievements."

"You are of the Su family bloodline and have exceptional talent, so it is only right to entrust this to you."

"However, whether you can build it up and hold it depends on you."

As they spoke, Su Qing had already led Jing Qian to the top floor of the tower.

Going further up, you'll reach the rooftop terrace.

The top floor is incredibly spacious, comparable to a small town.

At the very center of the space, embedded in the floor, is a rather unique bronze giant door.

The giant gate resembled the gaping maw of a bronze-cast demonic insect, and it was tightly shut.

Then, Su Qing gently channeled a wisp of magic power onto the giant gate.

The bronze demon worm seemed to come alive, and suddenly opened its huge mouth.

The next second, countless twisted and ugly demonic insects gushed out from the bronze door, instantly filling the entire floor.

Su Qing was prepared; she drew her spear and plunged into the monsters.

These demonic insects appear exceptionally terrifying, but their strength, combat power, and cultivation level are all mediocre, with the highest being only at the [Spirit Subduing] rank.

With a single thrust of her spear, she could easily kill a long string of enemies.

In an instant, juices splattered everywhere, and insect corpses littered the ground.

But then, a strange power appeared within the tower and poured onto the insect corpses.

A shimmering green flame ignited from the insect corpse.

Jing Qian could see clearly that half of the power of the green fire was absorbed by the Tower of Babel, and the remaining half was gathered by the tower and transported to the Empress's Cave Palace along a strange magical link.

This green flame is also a rare variety of [Fire of Evil], and it is the [Bosao Divine Fiend] passed down by the [Bosao] God.

The power of the divine demon was absorbed by the tower beneath his feet, with most of it stored away. The remaining small portion actually helped the entire tower rise slightly by one finger's height.

At this moment, Su Qing had already wiped out all the demonic insects. She put away her gun, stood up, and said:
"Can you see clearly?"

"The essence of this [Sacred Court of the Vajra] and the [Tower District] is a sacred place for cultivation bestowed by the Empress."

"This place is connected to a demonic insect universe through the [Possa Divine Court], where countless terrifying demonic insect creatures breed."

"We will build the Tower of Babel, which will allow us to use the Divine Court to attract the tide of demonic insects and kill them in exchange for the Sacred Beast."

"The only way to build a tower of towers at the age of 30 is to kill high-level demonic insects, using a massive amount of [fiend fire] as the source, insect bones as beams, and insect blood as bricks, to slowly accumulate and improve."

"The faster you kill, the faster the [Fire of Evil] accumulates, and the more you'll gain."

"If you kill slowly, you will get less [Fire of Evil]."

"Ultimately, we must first ensure the growth of the tower."

"After all, the towers we build will be worn down by the [Bosa Divine Court], and their height will gradually decrease."

"In other words, this tower was difficult to build, and even more difficult to withstand its weight!"

"It's a vacant lot, so it's better not to start any construction."

"If it is built and then collapses, not only will the cost of building the tower be wasted, but the land will also be taken back by the Celestial Empire."

"If you are confident that you can build it and have the time to protect it, then you have the prerequisite for building the tower."

"Otherwise, it would be acting blindly and hindering one's own spiritual practice."

"Su Yan and I dare not stray far from this tower for even a moment, for it is the foundation upon which the Su family has made its living."

"For this reason, we did not hesitate to abandon our ancestral troops and temporarily leave the [Biaoye Dragon Camp] unattended."

"I'm not saying this to persuade you to give up building the Tower of Babel, but to warn you to act cautiously and not to rush into it blindly, lest you find yourself in a difficult situation."

Jing Qian nodded, his heart already burning with excitement.

He already knew the true nature of the [Possa Divine Court].

However, the specific details were not found in the "Book Mountain," and he did not know them.

Now, witnessing firsthand how [God Ego] used hundreds of [Towers of Babel] to harvest the tide of demonic insects and gather the [Bosao Gods and Demons] system, I feel my eyes have been opened!

This Tower of Babel is practically a leveling paradise for Chunyangzi!
He couldn't wait to immediately ascend to the divine court, begin building and guarding towers, and kill insects to refine fire.

He just opened his mouth and said:
"Senior Qing, thank you for your kind guidance!"

"I know how to build and defend the tower, and I will never allow it to fall into disrepair, resulting in the collapse of the buildings and the repossession of the land."

Su Qing nodded and then said:

"The current tide of demonic insects is an unavoidable natural disaster, but as long as we work harder and are more diligent, there will always be a reward."

"And under my Celestial Empire, the dangers of man-made disasters are greater than those of natural disasters; this is what you should pay more attention to."

"Don't look down on the Su family for the fall of our ancestors and the decline we have. There are still countless people who covet our last remaining assets."

"Now that you've returned to this realm, you'll have to experience it for yourself."
