Chapter 316: Chapter 316

On the hill where Xiao Jinting and the family lived.

Xu Muan greeted Xiao Jinting with a smile. “You’re back!”

Xiao Jinting nodded and fell on the bed, “Yeah!”

“You look very tired!” Xu Muan walked over and rubbed Xiao Jinting’s shoulders.

Xiao Jinting enjoyed the rubbing and grunted happily. “It’s not good to be obscure, as people think lightly of you, but it’s not good either to be closely watched when you get famous.”

“You’ve got famous after you killed Elder Yuyao.” The hill where they lived used to be quiet, now people kept visiting them recently.

“As the saying goes, a man dreads fame as a pig dreads being fat. After I got famous, there have been more people watching me. You guys have to be careful too,” Xiao Jinting said. He had exposed the magic discs in the competition, and many forces might be coveting his powerful magic weapons.

“I know. Don’t worry. The young men can take good care of themselves.”

Xiao Jinting said with satisfaction, “Yeah. After so many years, they finally can protect themselves.” When they came to the Nebula Island, the young men were only at Foundation Establishment stage, and now they had advanced to Golden Core.

“By the way, did you encounter any danger when you went to kill Xu Qingshan?” Xiao Jinting asked with concern.

Xu Muan shook his head and said lightly, “No, he was just an advanced Golden Core. I might not be his rival, but with the help of the young men, it went smoothly.”

“That’s good.” Xiao Jinting nodded.

“Have you got the key to the Tower of Babel?” asked Xu Muan.

Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “I got it. The Ye family gave me the key without hesitation. By the way, I heard that the Tower of Babel does not belong to this world. It comes from the upper world.”

“From the upper world?” Xu Muan asked curiously.

Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “That is how the rumor says. There are twelve floors in the tower, but people here could only get to the eighth floor at the most. It is said that the twelfth floor of the tower is the access to the upper world.”

“Who told you that?” asked Xu Muan.

“Miss Ye told me as a story. As one goes up one floor in the tower, he meets more danger. It is said that only ninth floor had been visited in history. What the twelfth floor looks like remains a mystery,” Xiao Jinting said.

Xu Muan lowered his head, thoughts racing across his mind.

“What are you thinking?” Xiao Jinting looked at Xu Muan.

Xu Muan smiled and said, “Nothing. After you enter the Tower of Babel, watch out. Even if you get nothing, it’s fine. Don’t exert yourself. Your safety is most important.”

Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “I know.”

“I heard that there are a total of one hundred and twenty keys to the Tower of Babel instead of thirty. Although the Business Alliance is the biggest force in Nebula Island, there are some other hidden and powerful forces. It is said that eighteen of the remaining ninety keys are missing, twenty six keys are in the hands of other forces in Nebula and the rest are with the demons,” Xu Muan said.

Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “I also heard that there are countless demonic beasts in the sea and many of them have transformed.”

When a demonic beast advanced to Nascent Soul, it could transform. Even in that case, the beasts didn’t like to live on land, and they usually lurk in the deep sea. In fact, the number of transformed demonic beasts in Nebula Island was far greater than the number of Nascent Soul cultivators. If there is a riot of the demonic beasts, the cultivators of Nebula Island would be in danger.

Xu Muan took out the wand and handed it to Xiao Jinting. “This is Xu Qingshan’s magic weapon. Why are you so obsessive with it?”

“The jade space told me that this wand is made of Immortal Wood, which could be refined into Limb Regenerating Pills,” Xiao Jinting said.

“Chen Xu said that the material of this magic weapon might be Immortal Wood, which is one of the three great divine trees. It is said that if you get it, you will become immortal,” Xu Muan said.

Xiao Jinting was a little surprised. “Chen Xu actually knows about Immortal Wood?”

Xu Muan nodded, “Yes.”

Xiao Jinting said with admiration, “This chap reads a lot”

Xu Muan nodded and said, “Chen Xu knows a lot.”

…

At Green Cloud Immortal Sect.

“Senior Qiu, Senior Chen has come,” Wei Li said to Qiu Yun, who was busy in the garden.

More than twenty years ago, there was a war between the righteous and demonic sects, and it last for over ten years. Both sides suffered huge losses, and they made compromise with each other, dividing the territories at sea. Peace had been basically restored in the cultivator world, but small battles were still going on in some places.

During the decade of the war, countless cultivators died on both sides, including several Nascent Soul cultivators.

“Why does he come again?” Qiu Yun frowned.

Chen Lifeng had lost an arm in the war, and his strength had decreased significantly. However, compared to those Nascent Soul cultivators who died in the war, he was lucky.

Wei Li said excitedly, “Both Senior Chen and Senior Mu come to see you instead of the ancestor of the sect. You are honored. ”

Gu Yun rolled his eyes and thought, “What is honor? Can you have it as food?” Chen Lifeng came most likely for Xiao Jinting. He knew from someone that Xiao Jinting and Qiu Yun were on good terms, so he repeatedly came to Green Cloud Immortal Sect and talk about Xiao Jinting with Qiu Yun.

Qiu Yun was a friend of Xiao Jinting, but he didn’t know much about him.

Chen Lifeng repeated the same questions, and Qiu Yun had done his best to answer. However, Chen Lifeng kept coming back to him. A Nascent Soul cultivator should have excellent memories. Chen Lifeng was injured in his arm, not his head. He wouldn’t suffer amnesia.

Qiu Yun sighed softly and said in dismay, “I guess Senior Chen comes to ask when Xiao Jinting will come back and when Chen Xu will come back.” How could he know that? He didn’t know what to say every time Chen Lifeng asked him.
