Chapter 2530: What Treasures Are Hidden?

and his men unleashed 47's fury, bullets spitting like fiery serpents towards the rats before them.This is very different from before, these rats are huge, 47 can be useful, in the blink of an eye, co...Yero Xiang looked over in surprise, her face full of bewilderment.

What's going on

Ye Bufan said: "There are no traps set up inside this ninth layer. These illusions before you are the traps. They're just too masterful, ordinary people can't detect them at all."

Yilo Xiang grew increasingly puzzled: "Who could have done this, and what was their purpose"

"Who did it, I have no idea, but as for their motive, I can guess."

Ye Bufan said, “Imagine, what is the purpose of those who enter the Tier 10 Heavenly Ascension Tower”

"Of course it's to find treasures and opportunities!" said Yi Luo Xiang resolutely.

"That's precisely why, if many people came here and saw so many resources, they would inevitably fight over them, just like we did before."

In this case, it is most likely a lose-lose situation, and few people can truly get their hands on these things.

"Results like ours are rather special. Not only did we completely solve the puzzle of the treasure hunt, but we were also able to calmly observe these things, otherwise, we wouldn't have discovered that they were fakes."

Ye Bufan spoke slowly, but there was one important thing he didn't mention: that he had once used top-grade spirit stones.

If one were an ordinary cultivator, they probably wouldn't be able to discern the trickery within.

Yero Xiang still had a puzzled expression on her face: “Then what does he actually want to do Or if only one person enters the ninth layer, wouldn't his purpose be impossible to achieve”

Ye Bufan said: "If we only focus on the ninth layer, it's still hard to explain. But if we look further ahead, the answer becomes clear."

Think about it, since we arrived on the seventh floor, what have we sacrificed What have we gained How many dangers have we faced

Yilo Xiang pondered, "I've put in so much effort, yet I haven't found a single treasure. All the previous medicinal herbs and spirit grasses were obtained below the sixth layer."

"So the other party's purpose is obvious, that is to prevent us from entering the tenth layer."

Ye Bufan said, "Starting from the seventh layer, it has been fraught with danger. If it weren't for my special opportunity, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to make it this far."

According to the other party's design, the first step is to make it extremely difficult. Ideally, they would like to completely eliminate anyone who enters. However, if that's not possible, they will use the illusionary techniques of the ninth layer.

either result in a situation where both sides are left defeated, or lead the other party to believe they have found countless treasures and leave the Sky Tower on their own accord.

No matter what the outcome, the goal is to keep people from reaching the tenth layer.

"This..."

Yierou Xiang pondered for a moment, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what Ye Bufan said made sense.

But there's something I don't understand. If that's the case, why did he open the tenth-level Sky Piercing Tower Couldn't he just prevent people from entering in the first place

"I don't know either."

Ye Bufan shook his head. "Perhaps the other party has open reasons, or maybe he can't control it either."

Yiluo Xiang nodded. "Since that's the case, shall we go up to the tenth floor"

Of course I will.

Ye Bufan's expression was firm, "After such painstaking efforts to block me, I want to see what treasures are hidden above."

If my own guesses are true, then one could tell just by looking at it that the above is definitely not simple.

“Well, I’ll go with you.”

Neither Yi Luo Xiang nor Ye Bufan had much to question. The two walked together towards the entrance leading to the tenth floor.

Before this, they had already seen it. Here and the nine layers of passage below are completely different from before. It's not spatial teleportation but real stairs.

This step is about ten meters wide and about half a meter high. As a cultivator, it's not difficult to take a step up.

Looking up, there was a gray haze above, and only a dozen or so steps were visible. Anything higher than that was obscured from view.

Ye Bufan swept his divine sense upwards, but it was bounced back after only three or four meters, and he couldn't even see far.

This place is really quite strange, it seems getting to the tenth floor won't be easy.

He didn't rush to climb up, but instead turned his head to glance at Yiruo Xiang.

"Xiangxiang, do you still remember the ladder inside Longwang Island from before"

"Sweet!"

Once again being called so intimately by Ye Bufan, Yi Luo Xiang's heart rose with a familiar feeling, even a faint sense of happiness.

I just can't remember things like the Dragon King Island or any kind of Heavenly Ladder, I could only shake my head slightly.

"It's okay if you don't remember, before it was just me climbing the stairway to heaven, today we're two people climbing this tenth floor together."

Ye Bufan finished speaking and reached out to take her jade hand. Yi Luo Xiang's body trembled slightly, but she didn't let go. In her heart, she had already believed what he had said before.

Two people hand in hand stepped onto the first level. The moment their feet touched the stone steps, an invisible pressure descended from above.

This kind of pressure is indescribable, it's unlike anything I've ever experienced before.

Not only did his physical body feel immense pressure, but also his true essence and spiritual power were being compressed.

Although he had only stepped onto one stair, the true essence within him ran a bit slower, and his divine sense could not extend even one meter from his body surface, let alone the previous three or four meters.

Ye Bufan whispered, "This place is really strange!"

Although there was no roaring thunder and crackling lightning like when the Dragon King Hall ascended to the heavens, the scene before him appeared extremely calm. Yet, it gave him an incredibly dangerous feeling.

"Let's go. I want to see what's hidden on this tenth floor."

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he took Yi Luoxiang's hand, and the two walked up the stairs step by step.

When two people stepped onto the tenth step, they could no longer see anything behind them when they turned back.

All around was a dull gray, as if the only things in existence were the two of them and this staircase that stretched endlessly into the distance.

What's most dire is that with each step taken, the pressure increases by several folds. The physical body, true essence, and spiritual power all endure tremendous strain.

Ye Bufan was doing better. He had already reached the peak of Yu Hu Lian Ti Jue, and his physical body alone was comparable to that of a Void-Dwelling cultivator at their peak.

In terms of true cultivation, although he is only in the middle stage of the Void Aperture, his strength is absolutely no less than that of a cultivator in the middle stage of Great Perfection.

In contrast, Yi Luo Xiang is far inferior. Her true cultivation is at the peak of Dongxu, but she can exert the strength of a nascent soul early stage through some secret techniques.

In terms of cultivation level, Lun is a level above Ye Bufan, and his physical body is incomparable.

For this very reason, she was already extremely exhausted upon arriving here. Every step she took required tremendous effort, and her legs began to tremble.

“That way, you stand behind me and see if the pressure is a little less”

Ye Bufan, speaking, pulled Yi Luo Xiang behind him and walked ahead.

I tried this method again, and it still works. Walking in front puts more pressure on you, while walking behind is comparatively easier.

Even so, the effect was still limited. After reaching the seventh or eighth stage, Yi Luo Xiang could no longer bear it, her breathing became increasingly labored, and her body even began to tremble slightly.

And the surrounding steps were exactly the same, except that the pressure was increasing, and there was no sign of any change or hope.

"Xiangxiang, I'll carry you up."

Ye Bufan was about to carry Yiluo Xiang on his back.sayZhao Shicheng's face instantly turned cold. "Do you think the people from my Ninth Peak would be as despicable and shameless as those from your Fifth Peak"Lu Gan sneered coldly: "Come on, then you...
