Chapter 1593 Reincarnation Tower (3)
"You must be careful." Jiang Shuren looked at Yun Lintian and said. Kong Xun and Yu Zhilan were also looked at him with concern.
"Don't worry. You know I have my own means." Yun Lintian gave them a reassuring smile.
He then turned to Shui Fang and asked. "What about you, Brother Shui?"
"I'll go with you." Shui Fang said. "In case you meet Ling Zemin and the others."
"Let's go." Yun Lintian nodded and hurried towards the tower with Shui Fang.
Watching them leave, Yan Yin turned to Yu Zhilan and said. "In fact, all of you can go with him. I believe he won't break the promise."
Yu Zhilan shook her head and said. "We wouldn't be able to assist him much over there."
"She is right." Wan Mu suddenly said. "The trials inside the tower are individual. No one can intervene with each other. They have to pass it themselves."
Jiang Shuren set up a table and chairs, and brought out tea and delicacies before inviting everyone to sit down. "Please, seniors."
Yan Yin and Wan Mu were not polite. They poured themselves cups of tea and began to savor it. This was their first time tasting the tea in tens of thousands of years.
"Senior, I'm curious about the Divine Empress. According to Senior's words, this person clearly knew everything about this place. Why didn't she take the relic away?" Kong Xun asked curiously.
Although the relic of the Beyond Heaven King was useless to others, it didn't mean that no one would want it. Since the Divine Empress was so powerful and could dismantle every trap, including manipulating the rewards of the staircase, she must have had a method to take the relic away. Why wouldn't she do it?
"There was one strange thing about her. I didn't think of it until earlier when I learned Yun Lintian's identity." Yan Yin said with a peculiar expression. "The Divine Empress actually killed anyone who attempted to approach the tower. At that time, I didn't think much about it, but now I feel like she did it to pave the way for Yun Lintian."
Kong Xun and the others were puzzled.
Wan Mu seemed to have thought of something and nodded in agreement. "Indeed. She always chose those powerful individuals who had not yet entered the tower, leaving behind the rest of us who had failed."
He looked at Kong Xun and said. "You must know that there were many people who adopted a wait-and-see attitude and camped in front of the tower. Since everyone only has one chance, they were unwilling to go in unless they discovered a solid method to overcome the trials."
"The Divine Empress killed all of them. Some people managed to escape from her by entering the tower. After they failed and ejected, she spared their lives and let them go."
Kong Xun nodded slowly. "This is indeed strange. It looked like she had indeed eliminated a potential threat for Yun Lintian."
Jiang Shuren and Yu Zhilan also shared the same opinion.
"But how could it be possible? She wasn't someone from the Divine Realm, was she? How could she know about the successor of the Beyond Heaven King and even try to help him?" Jiang Shuren expressed her doubts.
Kong Xun frowned uncertainly and said, "Could there be other reason?"
Yan Yin shrugged. "Who knows? But regardless of her purpose, her action was undeniably strange. Not to mention, she removed most of the deadly traps here. Otherwise, some of you may have to sacrifice yourselves on the way here."
Kong Xun and Jiang Shuren glanced at each other and fell into silence. It was indeed strange.

"What a terrifying aura." Standing in front of the majestic tower, Shui Fang looked at the plaque and spoke solemnly.
Yun Lintian nodded in agreement. "I feel like I'm being stared at by several god emperors right now."
Shui Fang took a deep breath and said. "Brother Yun, if I am unable to leave, please inform my father not to expend time and resources trying to save me."
Yun Lintian was taken aback and said. "It shouldn't be that bad. I believe Brother Shui can pass the trials."
Shui Fang shook his head. "I'm being realistic here. There were many god emperors at Senior Yan's level in the past, but none of them were able to pass it. I don't think I'm better than them."
Yun Lintian went silent for a moment and said. "Well, I'll tell him."
"Thank you." Shui Fang said with a smile. He turned to look at the bronze gate. "Let's go."
Yun Lintian nodded and pushed open the bronze gate. Similar to Ling Zemin, Yun Lintian attempted to peer into the tower, but there appeared to be a dark film obstructing his vision.
The two glanced at each other and entered the tower.
Immediately, Yun Lintian and Shui Fang felt as though they had just walked through an invisible barrier. When they turned around, the gate was no longer visible.
At this moment, they found themselves standing in a spacious hall with a spiral staircase on the left wall. They tried to look up and failed to see the ceiling. It was as if the tower had no ceiling.
"Do you feel anything?" Shui Fang asked.
Yun Lintian looked around briefly and responded. "No. I feel like there's nothing special here."
Shui Fang nodded and looked at the staircase. "Let's go."
Yun Lintian agreed, and both of them immediately walked onto the staircase. They had anticipated something extraordinary, like the Nine Heaven Staircase, but in the end, nothing occurred. This puzzled them a bit.
The two continued climbing and soon reached the end of the path. Another bronze gate could be seen in front of them.
"There must be a trial behind it." Shui Fang said. "Good luck, Brother Yun."
"You too." Yun Lintian responded.
The two glanced at each other, pushed the gate open, and walked in.
Immediately, Yun Lintian found himself standing alone in a spacious hall, similar to the one on the floor below. However, there was a small altar at the center.
After briefly scanning the surroundings, Yun Lintian immediately walked towards the altar.
Just as he approached, the altar suddenly buzzed, and a white light abruptly shot out, drilling into Yun Lintian's forehead instantly. Before Yun Lintian could react, his vision immediately turned white, and he lost consciousness on the spot...
