Chapter 274: The Black-White Academy, and the Legendary… Tower of Ascension!
Hearing this, Feng Qingcang rely shook his head with a wry smile.
What was there to say about strength after being overwheld by a younger generation?
Still, it left a bitter taste.
With ng Changqing’s strength, he could have challenged far stronger opponents.
It was simply bad luck for him to cross paths with such a prodigy.
Such was fate, and he thought no more of it.
“Chief ng, if you have no pressing matters, why not stay a night within my family’s territory?” Feng Qingcang’s expression turned solemn as he extended the invitation. “Allow my family to show you the hospitality befitting a guest.”
After all, as the head of a clan, he had a broad perspective.
Understanding ng Changqing’s imnse potential, he imdiately resolved to form good relations.
“Then I will impose upon your kindness,” ng Changqing glanced at the sky and nodded.
“Please.” Feng Qingcang’s face lit up with delight as he led the way.
The two departed together.
So younger mbers of the Feng clan were confused.
Why extend an invitation to soone who had caused their family to lose its place on the Heavenly Rankings?
The loss was significant.
“Mind your looks! The head of the clan’s vision is beyond your comprehension!” The elders of the clan glared at them.
“Yes, losing the Heavenly Ranking spot is a pity, but what can be said when you’re outmatched?
“Moreover, if we can forge ties with such a prodigy, the future benefits could well surpass the Heavenly Rankings!”
Hearing this, they suddenly understood.
—
That night…
In an opulent palace, cups clinked, and laughter filled the air.
ng Changqing and Feng Qingcang sat in the host’s seats, watching the Feng family’s beautiful won perform lively dances.
The atmosphere was festive.
“Chief ng, have you decided on your title yet?” Feng Qingcang asked with a smile.
“Not yet. I’ve never been good at choosing nas.” ng Changqing shook his head.
“I’m the sa. In the end, the Wanxiang Pavilion decided on ‘Lishui Marquis’ for .” Feng Qingcang laughed, “Over ti, I grew indifferent to changing it, as people in the surrounding regions had beco used to it.”
Hearing this, ng Changqing’s eyes flickered with thought.
Indeed, first impressions were strong, and changing it later seed unnecessary.
So, what should his title be?
Titles endure, even into the future when one ascends to the Royal Path Realm.
After pondering for a while, ng Changqing gave up, recalling he was not skilled at naming things.
He decided to leave it for another ti.
“Chief ng, where are you heading next?” Feng Qingcang asked curiously.
Generally, prodigies from the Four Regions who ca to the Central Province would roam far and wide before considering returning ho.
At ng Changqing’s current level, as a titled Marquis, returning ho now would be a grand triumph.
“The Black-White Academy.” ng Changqing did not conceal his plans.
Walking the Invincible Path ant being open and upright, especially with the protection of his sect master.
As for his reasons for visiting the Black-White Academy, there were two:
One, Mo Xiaoyu was already there.
Two, the Demon Abyss.
He had yet to condense his third true domain. Apart from his cultivation being slightly lacking, his spiritual refinent was also insufficient.
He needed to absorb demonic energy to temper his spirit and will.
Otherwise, even reaching the ninth level of the Marquis Realm would not allow him to condense his third domain.
And the Black-White Academy had a Demon Abyss of a very high level.
In the Central Province, the Black-White Academy was considered a powerful and ancient force, often referred to as the fifth Holy Land.
ng Changqing’s sect leaders had been there before and even trained there, forming nurous connections.
The Grand Elder had suggested that he visit the academy to learn and gain experience.
“Is it for the Tower of Ascension three years from now?” Feng Qingcang asked.
“The Tower of Ascension?” ng Changqing was puzzled.
The na was unfamiliar; he had never heard of it.
“You don’t know about the Tower of Ascension?” Feng Qingcang was surprised.
He had assud ng Changqing’s goal was the tower.
“Please, enlighten .” ng Changqing’s interest was piqued.
He felt the Tower of Ascension must be extraordinary.
“Legend has it that the Tower of Ascension was the weapon of the Black-White Academy’s first master.
“It is one of the rare supre Saint Artifacts known to exist openly in the cultivation world!
“It contains a vast, mystical space.
“It has a total of one hundred floors.
“Each floor passed grants Ascension Rewards.
“These rewards include rare and precious treasures!”
Feng Qingcang explained.
“A Saint Artifact?” ng Changqing’s gaze sharpened.
Artifacts were classified as: Ordinary Artifacts, Hundred Refinents Artifacts, Spirit Artifacts, Blood Artifacts, Heavy Artifacts, Dao Artifacts, and Divine Artifacts.
Even Divine Artifacts were considered rare, let alone the legendary Saint Artifacts.
His current sword, Crimson Sky, was rely a Blood Artifact.
But Crimson Sky was a renowned blade with great potential — it could beco a Dao Artifact or even a Divine Artifact.
According to ancient records, once a weapon ascends to the Saint-level, it ceases to be a re weapon. It could be considered a living being capable of embarking on its own cultivation path.
“What are the rewards?” ng Changqing asked curiously.
“Too many to list. But whatever you can imagine. Marquis items, top-tier resources, techniques, weapons, it’s all there.” Feng Qingcang’s tone was filled with longing.
“Are there treasures for repairing root bones or physical bodies?” ng Changqing imdiately asked.
One of his reasons for staying in the Central Province was to find such treasures.
His aunt’s root bones had been destroyed. Without repairing them, she could not return to the cultivation path.
But such items were exceedingly rare, and he had found no leads so far.
“Of course.” Feng Qingcang answered without hesitation.
Hearing this, ng Changqing’s eyes lit up with joy.
It seed the Black-White Academy was a destination he could not miss.
“Can anyone enter the Tower of Ascension?” reining in his excitent, ng Changqing asked.
“Yes, the Black-White Academy is unlike conventional sects. It functions more as an academy and is relatively open. Additionally, this was a rule established by the first master.
“Whenever the tower opens, anyone in the world can enter.
“However, there is a restriction on the cultivation level. No one above the Marquis Realm can enter. This is because experts beyond the Marquis Realm wield laws of power that could cause irreparable damage to the tower.”
Feng Qingcang explained.
“I see.” ng Changqing nodded in understanding.
“The Tower of Ascension at the Black-White Academy is one of the great events in the Central Province. When it opens, even the Holy Lands cannot ignore it.” Feng Qingcang remarked.
“Would the Holy Lands care about this?” ng Changqing raised an eyebrow.
“The Holy Lands possess vast resources and may not care for the tower’s treasures. But they covet… the tower itself!” Feng Qingcang explained, “It’s said that anyone who ascends all one hundred floors gains control of the entire Tower of Ascension, becoming its master.
“And the tower is considered the finest auxiliary Saint Artifact in the cultivation world!
“Even the Holy Lands are envious of it.
“However, no one has ever reached the hundredth floor. The highest anyone has reached is the ninety-seventh.”
