Invincible starts with predatory terms

#180 - Ancient Monument Mystery

After that, Ling Tian stayed in Ascension City day after day, and no one could persuade him to leave.

He seemed to have made some kind of resolution, that he would never set foot outside Ascension City again in this life.

Yang Fan and Hun Huan listened to Ling Tian finish telling this tragic and beautiful story.

Yang Fan looked at Ling Tian and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a past. Fate is really playing tricks on us!"

Hun Huan looked at Ling Tian and said, "So, is this the reason you won't agree to our request?"

Ling Tian nodded and said, "I will not leave Ascension City. If you are willing to stay in Ascension City for the rest of your lives, I might be able to agree to your request, but are you willing to do that?"

Nonsense, of course they weren't willing. If they stayed in Ascension City for the rest of their lives, why would they be looking for the Kaitian Cauldron inheritor?

Yang Fan said secretly in his heart.

Then, Hun Huan continued, "Is everything you are doing now really what Ying Hong would want to see? You are now decadent, confining yourself to such a place. You seem to be showing your infatuation, your devotion, for her, but have you ever thought that these are not what she would want to see at all?"

Hearing this, Ling Tian just shook his head, "I don't care what others think. No matter what you say, it's useless. I'm just doing what I think is right. Alright, you guys go. Don't try to persuade me anymore. I won't leave here."

Yang Fan and Hun Huan looked at each other, and then they both felt a little helpless.

At this time, Yang Fan used his divine sense to transmit a message to Hun Huan, "What do you think? Should we just snatch his Kaitian Cauldron? At that time, it won't matter whether he leaves Ascension City or not."

Hun Huan thought about this plan in his heart, and then nodded.

Then, Yang Fan turned his gaze to Ling Tian again and said, "Fellow Daoist Ling Tian is so devoted, I admire you very much, so I respect your choice. You don't want to leave Ascension City, and we are willing to respect you."

Hearing this, Ling Tian revealed a hint of a smile, but at this time, he heard Yang Fan continue, "It's fine if Your Excellency Ling Tian doesn't want to leave Ascension City, but you must hand over the Kaitian Cauldron."

Hun Huan then spoke, "I don't care what secrets Ascension City has, but I cannot allow any possibility that could lead to the complete collapse of our plan to leak out."

At this time, Ling Tian looked at Yang Fan and Hun Huan again, and then pondered for a while, saying, "I can give you the Kaitian Cauldron, but I have a request."

Hearing this, Yang Fan and Hun Huan's eyes lit up. After all, Ling Tian's strength was not to be underestimated. If it were not for unavoidable circumstances, the two of them really did not want to fight with Ling Tian, so Yang Fan quickly asked, "What is it?"

Ling Tian then said, "Have you seen an ancient stele in the northern district of Ascension City?"

The ancient stele? Yang Fan and Hun Huan naturally knew about it. Yang Fan had previously been puzzled, thinking that this ancient stele was just a landmark building, but later he heard that Ling Tian was cultivating in seclusion below it, and that the ancient stele also had the ability to isolate other people's divine sense. Yang Fan felt that this ancient stele was definitely not simple. At this time, hearing Ling Tian say this, he quickly asked, "What is so special about this ancient stele?"

Ling Tian then smiled faintly, and then said, "Below this ancient stele is actually a training ground."

A training ground? Yang Fan and Hun Huan were both puzzled, and then said, "Training for what?"

Ling Tian said, "There is a training ground below the ancient stele. Those inside can train their divine sense and strengthen their mental power. You also know that this ancient stele has the effect of isolating other people's divine sense, and I have been conducting trials and cultivating in seclusion below the ancient stele. It is also to improve my mental power and divine sense power."

Yang Fan and Hun Huan then suddenly understood. It turned out that there was actually a training ground below this ancient stele, and this training ground could actually strengthen the divine sense of others? It was really unbelievable. It must be known that divine sense is the most mysterious existence of a cultivator. Since ancient times, apart from a few rare cultivation methods, there has been almost no ability to train divine sense. Now, Ling Tian actually told them that the training ground below this ancient stele could strengthen the divine sense of other cultivators?

Then, Hun Huan asked again, "What does this have to do with the matter you are entrusting to us?"

Ling Tian then smiled faintly, and then said, "Just come with me."

Then, Ling Tian took the lead and went out, and Yang Fan and Hun Huan looked at each other, and then hurriedly followed. Finally, the two followed Ling Tian across the road to the ancient stele in the northern district, and then they saw Ling Tian forming a strange hand seal with both hands towards the ancient stele. After that, a vortex condensed in front of the ancient stele, and then Ling Tian looked at Yang Fan and Hun Huan and said, "If you are not afraid of death, then come with me."

Then, Ling Tian took the lead and entered the vortex. Yang Fan and Hun Huan looked at each other, and then gritted their teeth, and also followed Ling Tian into it.

Entering the vortex, Yang Fan and the three came to a strange space. There was nothing around in this space, only a huge tower in front of them. This tower had nine floors.

Ling Tian then came to Yang Fan and Hun Huan and said to them, "This tower is called the Tower of Void. It has nine floors and is for challengers. You can all be challengers. Each time you pass a floor, your divine sense will be strengthened by one point, and I am currently stuck on the seventh floor."

Then, Ling Tian shook his head regretfully and said, "With my current cultivation and realm, as well as the strength of my divine sense, I can only support myself to reach the seventh floor, but I need your help. The trial tower allows a team to be formed between the seventh and eighth floors. At most, a team of three people can be formed. At that time, the difficulty of the challenge will be shared equally by the three people, so I need you two to team up with me to help me break through the bottleneck of the eighth floor. If we succeed, I will give you the Kaitian Cauldron."

Hearing this, Yang Fan and Hun Huan looked at each other, surprised by this Tower of Void. They did not expect that the challenge conditions of this training ground would be so simple. Then Yang Fan looked at Ling Tian and said, "If we want to pass the bottleneck of the eighth floor with you, does that mean that we have to start from the first floor and challenge step by step until we reach the seventh floor?"

Ling Tian nodded.

Then, Yang Fan continued, "But what if we can't reach the seventh floor? Do you trust us that much?"

Ling Tian looked at Yang Fan and Hun Huan and said, "I trust my judgment. I think you two can do it, and even if you can't do it at that time, it just means that the Kaitian Cauldron can't be given to you. I will continue to look for teammates."

Yang Fan and Hun Huan looked at each other, and then said, "Okay, we promise you, we will help you break through the bottleneck of the eighth floor. At that time, I hope you will keep your promise and hand over the Kaitian Cauldron to us."
