Ning Cheng patted the old gas on the shoulder again, “Wait for me here, I’ll go to the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower to take a look, I still have to find you something when I return.”
Old Gas hurriedly accompanied him with a smile and said, “Senior, feel free to go to the Dao Court, junior will definitely be waiting here for senior.”
Only after Ning Cheng had left did Old Gas then wipe his forehead, which was not sweaty, and hurriedly backed away. Only a fool would wait for Ning Cheng here, now that Ning Cheng had entered the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower, it was only right for him to grab the time to leave the Heavenly Alliance Star. The Qiankun Cauldron being known by Ning Cheng was not a good thing after all, who knew if what this senior said in his mouth was the same as what he thought in his heart?
Before the old gas could exit the square, the light from the corner of his eyes swept up a man once again, his face changed again and he hurriedly turned around and returned to the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower side once again. He cursed in his heart, he must have misread the day he came out, how he had run into some people he didn’t want to see. So many years had passed, why weren’t all these old guys dead?
Ning Cheng did not care if Old Gas left or not, in fact even if Old Gas left, it did not matter to him. He had no intention of robbing Old Gas of his Qiankun Cauldron. As for Old Gas’s misunderstanding of his identity, he had no intention of asking Old Gas about it. Because he knew that he was not a reincarnation of some great power, he was merely a small person from the earth.
……
There were still people outside the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower discussing in astonished voices, and the topic of all the discussion was the woman who had ascended to the seventh floor. Ning Cheng was sure that he had heard correctly, according to the others’ discussions, the one who had ascended to the seventh floor was a woman.
People kept entering the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower, and people kept being thrown out of the tower and onto the square.
Ning Cheng walked to the entrance of the Dao Tower, pulled a Dao Transformation Saint Emperor and asked, “Is it true that the higher the cultivation level of this Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower, the easier it is to move up?”
The man glanced at Ning Cheng and let out a chuckle, “Daoist friend, this is not correct, the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower tests for enlightenment. Only those with higher enlightenment can climb higher. Of course the higher your comprehension, the higher your cultivation, so naturally it is even easier. In comparison, enlightenment is more important than cultivation. I once saw a Saint Emperor who only had a Dao of Transformation ascend to the seventh level.”
“Then what are the things that will be tested in this Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower?” Ning Cheng asked again.
“On the first to third floors of the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower, there is nothing, it is just a test of some Dao Rhythm Rule’s ability to gain an epiphany. After reaching the fourth level, it is a test of one’s degree of comprehension of the Dao. Each layer will yield considerable rewards, depending on what Dao you are cultivating.” The man replied.
“I see, isn’t it true that everyone cultivates a different Dao and has different perceptions in the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower?”
The man nodded, “That’s right, that’s roughly what it means. The higher the talent, the more one will gain in the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower.”
Ning Cheng did not ask any further questions and after thanking him, he turned around and stepped into the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower.
There were people entering and exiting the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower every moment, and Ning Cheng’s entry into the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower would not be noticed by anyone at all.
Ning Cheng had just entered the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower when Old Gas rushed over. When he saw Ning Cheng enter the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower, he could only sigh and carefully squeeze in the crowd with his head lowered.
Right now, it wasn’t that he wanted to leave Ning Cheng, but rather he couldn’t wait for Ning Cheng to come out earlier and then let him follow.
……
As soon as Ning Cheng stepped through the entrance of the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower, he entered a large circular hall. Turning back again, the entrance had long since disappeared without a trace.
The circular hall did not look very big, and there were people sitting in every corner of the hall. When Ning Cheng was about to count how many people there were, he found that no matter how many he counted, there was still only one corner. It was evident that this hall was definitely a spatial hall and not what it appeared to be.
Most of the people in this hall were sitting in silence, seemingly meditating with their eyes closed and sensing something, while a small number of people were moving to their respective directions.
After Ning Cheng had taken a few steps, he felt an oppressive power coming from him, a heaven and earth rule aura.
A rule aura was much clearer in here than outside, and Ning Cheng came over in his heart in a daze. No wonder the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower was so popular, with such clear Heaven and Earth rules, it was indeed much easier to sense them.
Ning Cheng also found a place to sit down, and in just half a column of time, he could clearly feel where the power of the rules in this layer of the Dao Tower was.
If he continued to feel here, this place would definitely be helpful for him to solidify his divine ability. However, Ning Cheng did not continue to sit here to feel, he felt where the higher level rule power was.
Ning Cheng stood up and walked to a place that looked empty, and a long ladder appeared abruptly in front of him.
Seeing Ning Cheng step on the ladder and disappear into the first level, many cultivators revealed envious looks, and they soon focused their attention on their own senses once again. Obviously, there were quite a few people who had reached the second level of the Dao Tower like Ning Cheng did, and then disappeared.
There was hardly any difference between the second layer of the Dao Tower and the first layer of the Dao Tower, the only difference being that the number of people on the second layer was slightly less. But it was still uncountable.
The rule power of the second dao tower was significantly stronger than that of the first dao tower, and Ning Cheng raised his hand and waved out a dao rhyme rule. Immediately, the rule power around him became disordered and disappeared clearly, and a space without rules appeared.
However, this ruleless space soon disappeared and the surrounding area once again returned to the same scene as before.
Ning Cheng was overjoyed in his heart, what he had just sacrificed was the Rule Breaking Avatar, and he clearly felt that cultivating the Rule Breaking Avatar in this place was more effective than outside. The main reason for this was because the Heaven and Earth rules inside were clear, and more importantly, the Heaven and Earth rules inside must have been changing from weak to strong from the first level upwards. This kind of heaven and earth rules that changed from weak to strong was just right for him to cultivate the Rule-Breaking Divine Aptitude.
After understanding this, Ning Cheng almost didn’t stay on the second level much longer, he directly found the place where the rules of the second level had coalesced and stepped onto the third level of the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower.
Some of the cultivators who saw Ning Cheng enter the second layer and then turn their eyes to step onto the third layer were secretly shocked. Who was this person? Even though the first few layers of the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower had weak rule power, it was not something that could be crossed so easily in a short period of time, right?
At this moment, Ning Cheng did not care about any of this at all, as he even crossed the third layer to the fourth layer. At this moment, he was a little excited in his heart. As long as he cultivated the Rule-Breaking Avatar here, his Rule-Breaking Avatar would definitely continue to coalesce and strengthen. At the same time, he also felt the power of the Rule-Breaking divine Aura, not only was this divine Aura a killer when he was fighting against his enemies, Ning Cheng also had a vague feeling that the Rule-Breaking divine Aura had another function, which was to tear through space.
Once his Rule-Breaking Divine Aura had reached a certain level of strength, would he not use it to break the rules of heaven and earth around him and then raise his hand to tear apart the void before tearing apart the space?
This would definitely have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. If the void that he had to reach the third step of the Dao of Enlightenment before before could be torn apart, now he could probably do it after he advanced to the Mixed Yuan level as long as his Rule-Breaking divine Aptitude reached a certain realm.
Once the rules of the void were broken by him, the stability of space would definitely drop drastically, and then the places that he had been unable to tear apart would most likely be torn apart. If he could really do this, then even if a third-step great power wanted to finish him off, it would not be that easy. As long as he could tear open the void and walk away in a very short period of time, so what if he was a third-step Daolord?
The more Ning Cheng went through the Dao Tower to enhance his rule-breaking divine ability, the more excited he became. The Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower was definitely not just a place to try out rule-breaking divine abilities, in the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower, apart from trying out rules, one could also feel the dao rhythm, sense the dao, and even condense new divine abilities.
However, Ning Cheng was treating the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower entirely as a place to try out rule-breaking divine abilities, and every time he used his rule-breaking divine ability to break the power of the surrounding rules on the ground floor, he wanted to go and try to see if more powerful rules he could break.
Before he knew it, Ning Cheng had reached the sixth level of the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower. He himself was unaware of this and was still trying to enhance his Rule-Breaking divine Aptitude.
……
Outside the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower, countless people once again let out astonished cries.
“She’s really climbed to the eighth level, how many years has it been since anyone has gone up to the eighth level? I’m afraid it’s been several hundred years?”
“If this senior goes up one more level, I’m afraid it will alarm the City Lord to come.”
“What senior, she is even younger than you. I heard from those who came out from inside the Dao Tower that that female cultivator looks very young and very beautiful.”
“Be careful what you say, the seniors who have ascended to the eighth floor of the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower, if you show disrespect, no one will be able to protect you when the time comes.”
The cultivator’s head shrank a little when he said that the female cultivator who had ascended to the eighth level was very beautiful, and although he felt in his heart that he had merely said that she was very beautiful and would not offend that female cultivator, he still did not dare to continue.
A burst of chatter and shouts of amazement provoked even more and more people to enter the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower. Since someone had ascended to the eighth floor, perhaps they could also ascend to the sixth floor or something.
“Huh, everyone, look, someone has ascended to the seventh floor again.” This exclaim interrupted the crowd of cultivators who had just been discussing the female cultivator on the eighth floor, and the crowd landed their gazes on the pure white Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower stone tablet.
On the seventh level of the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower stone monument, a golden dot had indeed appeared. Some people thought they had misread it and looked up at the eighth level of the stone monument, where the golden dot was still there.
This meant that apart from the female cultivator who had entered the eighth layer, which the crowd had just been talking about, someone had indeed entered the seventh layer.
“What day is it today? How come two people have ascended above the seventh floor?”
Regardless of what day it was, excitement sprang up in the eyes of all the people; two people had ascended above the seventh floor of the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower today, and it was likely that the City Lord would be alerted.
“No, my people can’t help it, I’m going to give it a go too.” A male cultivator’s face turned a little red as he squeezed out of the chattering crowd and rushed into the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower.
As this male cultivator entered the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower, a few more people followed him in. All of them were stimulated by the fact that two people in a row had rushed up above the seventh floor of the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower and wanted to give it a go as well.
