Chapter 813 - 505: End of the Holy Tower Ceremony, Skipped_2
However, just as he, severely injured, planned to fight to the death with the Blood Race Viscount, the Viscount dissipated on his own. A voice prompt informed him that he had not passed the trial, but he could still receive some rewards, including a potion that could heal his injuries completely.
Thus, this noble young man experienced the magical effects of the healing potion for the last time and left the Black Tower with a magic ring that allowed him to phase through walls, leaving him with an unforgettable impression of the tower’s mysteries.
After finding his guards outside the tower and waiting for everyone to come out, learning of their different experiences and gains, he resolved to stay longer in Tiger Head Town, hoping to enter the Black Tower again.
To this end, he even planned to understand the Celestial Venerable Sect better and fund them to swiftly obtain information about the Holy Tower.
Besides this noble young man, about thirty others received special treatment from Wang Zhifan.
Most were renowned experts of the martial world, or elite disciples of sects experiencing the world, or core members of famous families, each with complex high-level social networks. After this Holy Tower trial, there were bound to be numerous subsequent reactions.
In short, Wang Zhifan remembered that his goal in conducting the Holy Tower ceremony was to expand the Celestial Venerable Sect and Tiger Head Town’s fame, intending to attract more people here through the Holy Tower, accelerating the development of his territory.
Such actions were bound to harbor some risks; for instance, if a prominent figure learned of the Holy Tower’s wonders, they might attempt to seize it by force.
However, his strength had long since become vastly superior; previously single-handedly defeating the masters on the Demon Sect Flying Ship was proof of his prowess. Anyone planning to target Tiger Head Town or the Celestial Venerable Sect would certainly need to consider if they had the capability.
When the Holy Tower ceremony was about to conclude, he came out and continued to handle subsequent matters.
For instance, personally leading Wu Xun, Yang Qingqing, and Mr. He to the Demon Sect Flying Ship, meeting the monster-like crew he had subdued, answering Wu Xun and Yang Qingqing’s questions about the previous battle, discussing how to use the flying ship as a high-level tool, and witnessing the open-air cremation of many Demon Sect experts’ bodies.
During this period, he relied on a doppelganger stationed inside the Holy Tower, controlling it, causing it to ascend into the sky and disappear. In reality, it had shrunk and was taken into his dream by the doppelganger, completing the return of an artifact.
With all these activities, more than half an hour had passed, forcing him to adjust his schedule because the time he spent in this world had evidently exceeded his expectations.
"I originally wanted to visit a few other worlds, but considering I need to save enough time for cultivation, I skipped the Demon Hunter and Quantum Dream Realm World and went directly to Purgatory World’s Grand Canyon to consolidate my cultivation results. After several rounds of cultivation, it’s probably time to attempt a dungeon."
For the first time, Wang Zhifan skipped two worlds he used to visit after clearing a dungeon, ensuring he had ample time for training.
This training specifically referred to his beginner’s attempt at the legendary cultivation technique All Space-Time Eternal Freedom Profound Chapter, which was a significant challenge he planned to tackle long-term.
Currently, he was not confident in grasping this legendarily difficult cultivation technique, but he already had some ideas.
Specifically, it involved deliberately seeking areas with weak laws to conduct his training, aiming to complete a lightweight version of the law-contact project, gradually moving step by step towards entry.
The entrance to Purgatory World’s Grand Canyon was the space law-weak area he had currently discovered. He had already succeeded in contacting the space law there, and his goal this time was to consolidate previous achievements.
But this did not mean he was halfway successful. Finding another place to contact the time law wouldn’t directly allow him to begin the legendary cultivation technique.
The reason being, the entry requirement of All Space-Time Eternal Freedom Profound Chapter was simultaneous contact with space-time laws, separate contacts were meaningless.
It would only count as reaching the entry requirement if he could simultaneously influence both time and space laws.
Unless Wang Zhifan could find a place where time and space laws were both weak, there was no way to cleverly enter.
However, whether such a place actually existed was a big question, and he didn’t hold much hope.
His idea was to first master a lightweight version of law-contact projects, progressively enhancing his ability to influence laws.
When he could easily affect the space law in areas where it was weak, he estimated he could also cause slight ripples in areas where the space law was normal.
The same applied to the time law. When he found a place where the time law was weak, he would similarly attempt to contact the time law, gradually achieving the same cultivation effect.
Such places didn’t entirely exist within his imagination. After witnessing the bizarre situations on Illusion Planet, he understood that worlds with flawed time laws absolutely existed.
For instance, the cyclical collision of alien ships and a purple moth on Illusion Planet was enough to prove that the time law there was problematic. Though it might not be very weak, it was certainly chaotic.
Wang Zhifan planned to first understand the space law, and then head to Illusion Planet to find a suitable place to ponder the time law.
Once he was confident in both aspects, he would choose an appropriate location to attempt simultaneous contact with space-time laws, formally challenging the entry barrier of the All Space-Time Eternal Freedom Profound Chapter.
This legendary cultivation technique was remarkably challenging, posing an insurmountable climb to even solve the admission problem, and how difficult the path ahead would be was unimaginable, but he still resolved not to give up.
The reason was simple: he had sufficient time and could afford to spend it.
Immortality endowed him with the greatest confidence, unfazed by excessive time costs with no immediate rewards.
So, after conducting mundane training for a sufficient period in the Grand Canyon of the Purgatory World, Wang Zhifan determined that the dungeon entry permission was refreshed and returned to the main world, Earth Star.
Upon return, he found it was already morning in Xia Country, and two succubus maids on break in his villa were busy cleaning, also bringing him a piece of news.
"Master, while you were away, two humans claiming to be named Chen Ming and Chen Can drove over to visit, saying they had something to discuss with you."
The pale-skinned succubus Yi Lin said.
"Did they say what it was about?"
Wang Zhifan felt a bit surprised.
Generally, for ordinary matters, brothers Chen Ming and Chen Can wouldn’t trouble him, suggesting it was something special they wanted to discuss.
"They said they wanted to invite you to raid a Gray Realm with them."
Succubus Yali, with wheat-colored skin, replied.
"Gray Realm? Isn’t that something the Bureau should be concerned with? Can they even get involved in that?"
Wang Zhifan was even more puzzled.
"Could it be they’ve discovered a remote Gray Realm that the Bureau hasn’t addressed? Such places exist, but are they sure no high-level players have already seized them?"
After pondering, he still couldn’t grasp it because the player levels of the Chen brothers were lower than his, making them unlikely participants in such matters.
As someone who worked in the Bureau handling Gray Realms, Wang Zhifan knew well how deep the waters ran.
Gray Realms could be roughly understood as instances of the real world.
Although many Gray Realms only had minor monsters without bosses, resulting in no rewards, and even when bosses were present, the rewards weren’t as good as those from dungeons, while being more dangerous, the mere possibility of rewards drew numerous interest groups to vie for them.
In Xia Country, the Bureau undoubtedly held the largest share, with high-level players taking most of the rest.
Only a tiny fraction of Gray Realms might luckily fall into the hands of regular players, but such luck was more likely to be their misfortune.
Players like Chen Ming and Chen Can, with lower levels and less experience, despite having significant spending ability, couldn’t occupy a Gray Realm.
Because their strength couldn’t deter other players’ covetousness, unless they occupied a worthless Gray Realm with only minor monsters, which would be futile for them.
"Let’s deal with the dungeon first and ask them later."
Unable to understand, Wang Zhifan didn’t dwell too much on it, deciding to finish his own affairs first.
