Yue Shang finished speaking, and Chu Tian understood. It turned out that the Tower Clan also had different grades of bloodline purity. The tower in his hand was his dantian.
The Nine-Layered Universe Tower!
It was a top-tier dantian qualification, but it had been extracted by his mother.
Later, Chu Tian had transformed it into a physical body using the technique of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones."
He had named it: Chu Qiankun.
As Chu Tian's clone, it could naturally transform into the appearance of his original body.
When he had first seen that city of towers, Chu Tian had felt a sense of familiarity.
Later, when Yue Shang told him that the Tower Clan's innate divine ability was a pagoda,
He knew that their city must have been built according to the shape of their divine ability.
And the appearance of this city of towers, Chu Tian also remembered where he had seen it before.
It was none other than the original form of Chu Qiankun.
After hearing Yue Shang's words, Chu Tian didn't want to attract too much attention. If he alerted the higher-ups of the Tower Clan, he might be exposed.
"No problem! Here we go!"
Chu Tian waved his hand and his palm brushed across the Qiankun Tower.
*Ching...*
The top three layers were directly severed by him. With a wave of his hand, he sent them towards Yue Shang.
Yue Shang's eyes moved, and he understood Chu Tian's intention.
He extended his left hand, which had an eye on it, and the top three layers of the Qiankun Tower landed steadily in his hand, covering the eye.
In Chu Tian's hand, the remaining six and a half layers of the broken pagoda closed their top layer, reforming a pagoda spire.
"Dare you come with me?" Chu Tian asked with a smile.
Yue Shang hesitated, his eyes flickering a few times.
"If we get discovered and chased, we'll just fight! If we can stir up some trouble in the city, it might solve the crisis on our clan's front lines! Let's do it!"
Yue Shang suddenly became valiant.
"Let's go!"
Chu Tian glanced at him and moved his body, charging directly towards the pagoda-like city.
Yue Shang gritted his teeth and followed suit.
The two approached the city in sequence.
As they got closer, Chu Tian suppressed his aura to a low level, and Yue Shang followed suit.
"No guards?" Chu Tian looked at him.
"Yes, the cities of the Tower Clan are treasures themselves. Those who are not of the Tower Clan cannot enter through this entrance! I just don't know..."
He looked at the three-layered pagoda in his hand. Yue Shang found that his aura was covered by this pagoda, and after self-sensing, he realized he was indistinguishable from the Tower Clan.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to follow and would have advised Chu Tian against it.
"It should be fine!" Chu Tian took the lead and walked slowly into the skull-like entrance.
Yue Shang's heart was extremely tense. He didn't quite understand why this benefactor, who looked young, had such high cultivation.
Weren't people who ascended from the lower realms supposed to be weak?
This guy not only had high cultivation but also greater courage.
People of all races would usually bully or even capture humans and sell them as slaves.
Yet he dared to barge into the Tower Clan's city like this, and even wanted to secretly use their teleportation array. Even if he used the teleportation array, he would have to go through more than ten teleports to return to human territory.
He would be discovered sooner or later along the way!
He was now praying that they wouldn't be discovered, otherwise, they would face the pursuit of the entire city.
He wondered if there would be any of the Tower Clan's royal bloodlines in this city. Royal bloodlines could directly sense the opponent's bloodline.
Lost in thought, he followed Chu Tian and suddenly his eyes lit up.
They had passed through the dark skull cave and entered the pagoda.
"We're in?" Yue Shang's eyes flickered. This was his first time entering a tower city.
Carrying the three-layered pagoda given to him by Chu Tian, he had truly passed the entrance's screening.
Upon entering, Chu Tian discovered that it was another world within.
Before him, there was still a world, with light and a sun.
In the distance... ten thousand meters away, a normal city appeared.
"So that's how it is. I thought these guys didn't get any sunlight and would be calcium deficient," Chu Tian muttered softly.
"What did you say, benefactor?" Yue Shang asked.
"Nothing!" Chu Tian replied, as Yue Shang would never understand his comment about calcium deficiency.
Chu Tian and the two walked leisurely towards the city gate.
On both sides of the city gate stood two rows of guards in armor.
These guys were chatting with their heads tilted, only glancing at Chu Tian and the two with their eyes.
Yue Shang held the three-layered pagoda in his hand, feeling very nervous.
Chu Tian, on the other hand, had empty hands and a natural demeanor.
The guards' gazes were scattered, and they didn't pay much attention to the two of them.
It wasn't just Chu Tian and the two who were entering the city gate; others were also coming and going.
"Whoa...!"
Yue Shang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Stop!"
Just as Yue Shang relaxed, a guard suddenly fixed his gaze on Chu Tian and the two.
"You two, outsiders?"
As the guard spoke, the others also turned their gazes towards them.
Yue Shang paused and exchanged a look with Chu Tian.
"Yes, sir!" Yue Shang replied.
"Where are you from? What are you here for?" the guard asked, frowning.
"We're returning from the border and are here to find friends!" Yue Shang fabricated a story.
The guard was about to say something else when several other guards walked towards Chu Tian and the two.
Two more individuals walked up, flanking the guard's shoulders with their arms around him, smiling playfully.
"Haha, not bad, new guy. Your eyes are sharp. Come on, hand them over to us. We'll have a welcome party for you tonight!"
The speaking guard's expression stiffened, then turned displeased, and he struggled a bit.
"New kid, you'd better be smart. Are you trying to hog it all?"
The guy froze, his face looking very unpleasant, but he said nothing.
The two people beside him forcefully pulled him away and turned to leave.
Chu Tian naturally noticed this scene and cursed inwardly.
"Damn it, ran into an idiot. What rotten luck!"
That guy was clearly a new recruit, unlike these lazy old soldiers.
He had keenly noticed that Chu Tian and the two were new faces and wanted to investigate them.
But he was interrupted by several old soldiers. Looking at the guards who were walking towards them, they had been smiling and joking moments ago, but now they were exuding an air of authority.
Others walking past Chu Tian and the two quickly skirted around them, with some muttering, "These two are in for trouble. Even if they're not completely fleeced, they'll be bled dry!"
Chu Tian and Yue Shang exchanged glances. The latter looked helpless, while Chu Tian remained expressionless.
Yue Shang knew that Chu Tian had just ascended and likely didn't have the currency of this world. It seemed... he would have to pay this time.
The guards also reached them. Yue Shang directly took out a handful of crystal-clear stones from his怀.
Chu Tian glanced at them and felt a strong spiritual energy emanating from them.
It seemed that the currency of this world was also something like soul crystals.
"Dear sirs, my young master and I are new here. Please be lenient."
He directly handed the crystals over. One of them didn't speak, took them, and pocketed them.
The others, however, looked at Chu Tian and the two with mocking smiles on their faces.
