Chapter 354: Hidden Fragments, Low Roar
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Soon, the group arrived at the center of the city, where the tower was.
The area within a thousand meters of the tower had been completely sealed off. No one was allowed to approach it unless they were from the various big factions in the city.
The top-notch treasure trove of resources, the Arcanist Tower, was actually monopolized by the various arcanist factions in the city.
Xu Ning and the members of the Gao family unhurriedly entered the sealed area and arrived at the tower.
‘Almost everyone from the various factions is here…’
Xu Ning looked around. There were people everywhere outside the tower. There were about a thousand people.
There were more than a dozen factions in the city that were qualified to enter the Arcanist Tower.
The stronger the faction, the more people they could have entering the tower. This was a consensus reached by various parties after a fierce discussion.
The power of the Gao family could be ranked top five in the city, thus they had a hundred spots for their members.
Those factions stronger than the Gao family had between one hundred to two hundred spots.
As for those from the weakest faction, they were only allocated less than twenty spots.
‘The tower has a specific rule. Rank nine arcanists can’t enter, so the leaders of the various forces are all rank eight masters.’
Xu Ning also looked around.?‘The tower is also full of dangers, otherwise the various forces here would have sent more rank eight masters.’
Although the various factions wanted to obtain more from the Arcanist Tower, once too many top masters were lost, it would be a huge blow to the arcanist faction behind them. It might even shake their foundation.
Therefore, although many masters came, this was not the full strength of the various factions.
“The Arcanist Tower is opening!”
At this moment, someone shouted.
Xu Ning looked at the tower and saw that the surface of the tower began to emit a faint white light.
Soon, the light became more and more blinding.
Whoosh!
Finally, the light faded. The surface of the tower was filled with colorful hues, creating an iridescent surface that looked like flowing liquid.
“We can enter!”
The leader of the Gao family’s rank eight arcanists, Gao Yuji, said.
This Gao Yuji was the middle-aged man who had previously interviewed Xu Ning and allowed him to join the Gao family.
“Everyone, after entering the tower, not only do you have to be careful of the dangers inside, but you will also have to be careful of the people from other factions.”
Gao Yuji said, “After entering the Arcanist Tower, everyone will be randomly teleported. After meeting our own people, you must gather together and face the dangers together!”
“Yes!”
Everyone responded.
Most of the people looked excited and a little afraid.
“Let’s go!”
Gao Yuji gave the order.
Afterwards, the Gao family’s forces, like the other factions, rushed into the liquid light curtain outside the tower.
“Xu Ning, I hope everything goes well for you.”
Gao Qixuan said to Xu Ning before entering.
“You too, try to come out alive.”
Xu Ning responded.
The two smiled at each other before entering the tower.
…
After feeling dizzy, Xu Ning found himself in a dark red space.
In this space, there were many volcanoes, dense dark clouds, and a pungent smell filled the air.
According to the information he had received previously, Xu Ning knew that there was a large amount of independent space inside the tower.
Every space had a teleportation gate. After entering the teleportation gate, one would be randomly sent to another independent space.
In these independent spaces, the risks and resources were different for each of them. In most independent spaces, the risks and resources were proportional, but in a few independent spaces, there could be large amounts of resources and no danger, or there could be no resources but with high levels of danger.
Therefore, no matter which independent space he entered, he would encounter an environment that he couldn’t predict.
‘After entering the tower, all the arcanist resources I encounter will belong to me, but if I obtain a ‘hidden fragment’, I will have to give it to the Gao family after leaving.’
This was the agreement between the Gao family and the recruited members before entering the tower.
The recruited member would be paid and be given the opportunity to enter the tower, but the condition was to help them search for the hidden fragments.
After obtaining the hidden fragments, they could also use it to exchange for resources with the Gao family.
In a sense, the Gao family was quite generous to their recruits.
‘What is that hidden fragment? After obtaining it, I have to investigate it…’
Xu Ning was a little curious about those hidden fragments.
According to the information Xu Ning knew, this hidden fragment was a secret that could help a rank nine arcanist advance to rank ten.
It had been a long time since a rank ten arcanist appeared in the Arcanist World.
Ever since the three rank ten arcanists who built the tower disappeared, the method to advance to rank ten was no longer circulated outside, and the rank nine arcanists lost their direction.
All the secrets of advancing in this world were hidden in these hidden fragments.
‘According to the realm of the Martial Arts World, the difference between rank nine and rank ten is the difference between the dao realm and the grandmaster realm. Therefore, those hidden fragments should be related to the outer worlds.’
This was Xu Ning’s own guess.
‘I wonder how many resources there are in this independent space, and how dangerous it is…’
Xu Ning looked at the dark and oppressive space and thought to himself.
‘I’ll investigate first. If it’s not too dangerous and the amount of resources here are not bad, then I’ll gather some resources here. If the resources are poor and the environment is dangerous, then I’ll find the teleportation gate and leave this place…’
Xu Ning walked on the ground and found no signs of life in this independent space.
Not even plants exist.
In a hot independent space, it was difficult for arcane plants to survive.
‘There are no resources, and there is no danger…’
Xu Ning was a little disappointed.?‘In that case, I should find a teleportation gate and leave this place to enter a different independent space…’
‘Wait…’
Xu Ning looked at the volcano in the distance.
‘Let’s go and take a look…’
Xu Ning climbed up the nearest volcano.
He looked down and saw bubbling magma.
This magma was different from ordinary magma. It was dark red in color, giving off a dangerous aura.
Xu Ning felt that even a rank six arcanist would be injured by this magma.
‘There are no resources inside the volcano either…’
Xu Ning felt a little helpless.
‘Let’s continue to search for the teleportation gate…’
Just when Xu Ning gave up searching for resources, a low roar suddenly came from the distance.
Xu Ning looked over at the source of the sound.
The source of the roar was from the highest volcano.
At this moment, magma was bursting out of the volcano.
‘Let’s go and take a look!’
Xu Ning’s heart stirred and he quickly rushed over.
