“Shall we go in and ask?”
Before Feng Ke could understand what Ye Ling meant, Ye Ling grabbed her shoulder and leaped towards the central Tongtian Tower.
A black light flashed above the giant demonic beast, and then Ye Ling, with a still somewhat dazed Feng Ke, arrived at the entrance of the central Tongtian Tower.
The entrance to the central Tongtian Tower led to a metal tunnel, brightly lit, with a slightly cool temperature.
A peculiar fragrance wafted through the air, refreshing the mind.
“This scent…” Feng Ke, smelling the pleasant aroma, hadn’t even finished speaking when Ye Ling sealed her entire body with spiritual energy.
“This scent is poisonous. If you inhale too much, it will affect your nerves. Don’t breathe too deeply.”
Ye Ling cautioned Feng Ke, then glanced at the giant demonic beast blocking the entrance. He transmitted a message to Ji Xue: “Ji Xue, you and Tian Yuan guard the outside of the central Tongtian Tower and observe the situation. Do not attack the giant demonic beast, nor save anyone. Inform me immediately of any movements from Hongchen Pavilion.”
Ji Xue quickly transmitted back: “Understood, Emperor. I’ll handle the outside with Tian Yuan. Emperor, have you already entered the central Tongtian Tower?”
Ye Ling: “Yes. Without my protection, the central Tongtian Tower is too dangerous for you and Tian Yuan. Do not enter without my permission.”
Ji Xue: “Understood.”
After instructing Ji Xue, Ye Ling led Feng Ke into the central Tongtian Tower.
Unlike other dilapidated Tongtian Towers, this one was intact, with bright lights in the tunnel and a magnificent appearance, showing no signs of being a ruin sealed for a million years.
Feng Ke looked at the spotless surroundings and asked Ye Ling with some confusion, “None of the traps inside have been triggered. How did Wang Die get in?”
Along the way, Ye Ling had stepped on many traps, but Ye Ling had forcefully pushed them back with spiritual energy.
Ye Ling said, “Wang Die possesses an ability similar to foresight. It’s not difficult for her to avoid these traps.”
“She probably knows we’ve entered. Let’s move faster; she’s not far ahead.”
“Okay!”
Feng Ke responded and no longer paid attention to the surrounding traps, quickly following Ye Ling.
The two moved swiftly through the Tongtian Tower, soon crossing the long tunnel and arriving in a very spacious area.
In the center of this space was a large altar, and in the center of the altar was a three-meter-tall, blood-red giant egg.
Feng Ke was amazed by the layout of the space, exclaiming, “The layout here seems similar to the dilapidated Tongtian Tower we entered before, with an altar and a blood-red giant egg.”
“The only difference is that the surroundings of this space are all metal structures, unlike that Tongtian Tower which was all stone walls.”
Ye Ling glanced around the space and then walked towards another passage. “The giant egg is nurturing a ninth-grade demonic beast. Don’t provoke it if you’re fine.”
“A ninth-grade demonic beast?” Feng Ke was startled and quickly followed Ye Ling, asking, “Are you serious?”
Ye Ling said, “Yes… This altar is likely something the Tongtian clan specifically used to nurture life. All the facilities in this Tongtian Tower are well-preserved. It’s estimated that the demonic beast has been sealed here for a million years, slumbering until now.”
“A million years ago…”
Feng Ke looked at the giant egg with a shocked expression, murmuring, “Doesn’t this mean that a million years ago, the Tongtian clan already had technology surpassing present-day Earth?”
Although many things in the central Tongtian Tower looked quite retro in style, their technological content was extremely high, with craftsmanship far beyond what this era could achieve!
Even though Feng Ke already knew that the Tongtian clan was an extraterrestrial civilization and had visited another Tongtian clan ruin, she was still incredibly shocked to learn that an extraterrestrial civilization’s technological level was more than a million years ahead of Earth.
With such a vast gap, Feng Ke found it hard to imagine.
Ye Ling was not very concerned about this and walked directly into another passage. “Our goal isn’t this. Wang Die is in another space.”
“Got it…” Feng Ke glanced at the giant egg again with curiosity, then ran towards Ye Ling, disappearing with Ye Ling around the corner of the passage.
Shortly after Ye Ling and Feng Ke left, the giant egg on the altar suddenly stirred.
A faint sound came from within, and then cracks began to appear on the surface of the giant egg.
The ninth-grade demonic beast slowly awakened.
…
Adjacent to the altar space was a giant library.
The bookshelves on all four walls were hundreds of meters high, with each wall filled with books. At a glance, there were at least a million books here!
Wang Die was currently wearing a pair of glasses, sitting in a corner, flipping through an ancient book.
Below her, a Qimen formation had been deployed, assisting her calculations with her at the center.
As Feng Ke entered the space with four walls of books, her eyes widened, and her mind was profoundly shocked. “This place…”
“Shhh…”
Ye Ling gestured for Feng Ke to be quiet, then focused his gaze on Wang Die.
Seeing this, Feng Ke quickly shut her mouth, quietly looking at the surrounding bookshelves, secretly astonished.
The ancient books here included ancient Chinese, ancient scripts from various countries, and many scripts Feng Ke had never seen before.
If a scholar were to come here, they would likely be unable to read through even one wall of books in their lifetime!
Wang Die seemed oblivious to the arrival of Ye Ling and Feng Ke, diligently flipping through the books and reciting something aloud.
Ye Ling stepped into Wang Die’s Qimen formation range, and the Bagua formation rippled.
“Emperor, you’ve arrived…”
Wang Die seemed to have anticipated Ye Ling’s arrival. Without looking up, she continued flipping through the ancient texts and said to Ye Ling, “Please lend me a hand. The knowledge here is too profound. I cannot comprehend the knowledge of the Tongtian clan by myself.”
Ye Ling asked, “How do you want me to help?”
Wang Die replied, “Emperor, you just need to inject your spiritual energy into my Qimen.”
Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, “That simple?”
Wang Die looked up at Ye Ling, squinted, and smiled, “For the Emperor, it is naturally simple, but for me, it is of great significance.”
“It’s just a small effort for the Emperor. Can you help this humble servant?”
Seeing Wang Die’s charming demeanor, Ye Ling smiled and shook his head, but still injected his spiritual energy into Wang Die’s Qimen formation.
As Ye Ling’s spiritual energy was injected, Wang Die’s Qimen formation instantly expanded more than tenfold, enveloping the entire library!
Pale blue light permeated the surroundings, and Wang Die’s eyes lit up with blue light as a large amount of data flashed through them.
Rustle!
Suddenly, a large number of ancient books flew out from the bookshelves, flipping open automatically in the air, a truly spectacular sight!
Wang Die’s hair stood on end, and she floated into the air, pale blue spiritual energy swirling around her.
The knowledge in this space was being deciphered by Wang Die at an extremely rapid pace!
