Chapter 479  : Active Towers, A Dead Tower

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, five figures flashed out from the crowd on both sides and floated in the air above the abyss.

Under Feng Jian’s instructions, Nian Ling’er and Nian Shuang also stepped out.

Seeing this, Su Jingxing controlled his spiritual essence to envelop his body and took a few steps forward, stopping briefly above the abyss.

Buzz!

Before Su Jingxing could feel the fall, a ball of purple light suddenly erupted from the bottom of the abyss. It touched the void and ripples appeared.

These ripples spun like a vortex, and Su Jingxing quickly realized that he was descending.

A strange force was pulling him towards the bottom of the abyss.

With Feng Xian’s earlier advice, Su Jingxing naturally did not resist and allowed his body to slowly descend into the abyss.

Nian Shuang, Nian Ling’er, and seven others were with Su Jingxing.

Before long, the eight of them disappeared from everyone’s sight and entered the dark area surrounded by purple light.

Of course, in Su Jingxing’s field of vision, there was always purple light lingering around. Through the purple light, he could vaguely see a bare cliff.

Until his vision blurred and the void twisted, entering a sea of stars.

That’s right, a sea of stars.

Above his head, below his feet, around him, and in the distance, the space was studded with stars shining brightly.

The purple light brought the eight of them to a strange cosmic space.

There was clearly no air, but it did not affect his breathing.

Beneath his feet was empty space but he could still walk in the air.

The nearby stars were clear and bright, while the distant starlight only glowed.

What attracted the most attention was the nine black towers that stood out of thin air a hundred meters to their right.

The towers were less than 20 meters tall, with a total of nine levels.

At first glance, they were inconspicuous, no different from the stone towers that could be seen everywhere.

However, if one were to stare at them for a long time, they would be attracted to them. Then, it would seem that there was only the existence of the towers in the entire world and nothing else.

It was as if the black towers were the center of the world.

Pa da!

The sound of fingers clicking could be heard.

Su Jingxing snapped back to his senses and looked at the source of the sound.

He saw that it was a Heart Moon Fox girl who was with them. she was looking smilingly at him, Nian Ling’er, and the others.

“Everyone, time is limited. Don’t get lose yourselves now.”

“Ah, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Nian Ling’er stuck out her tongue and grinned. “Thank you for the reminder, Sister.”

“You’re welcome.”

The Heart Moon Fox girl smiled. “My name is Nian Susu. Before we came down, the First Chief and the King instructed me to introduce this space to everyone and share the things to take note of. Those who already can just listen.”

“It’s actually very simple. This space is called the Soul Refining Space. It’s mainly for soul Refining, and the thing to pay attention to while refining the soul is the position.

“As you can see, there are a total of nine towers over there. These black towers are the source of soul refinement.

“The doors of eight of the towers have opened. The eight of us can enter one each. After entering, we can begin to refine our souls.

“What I want to remind you here is not to touch anything in the tower after entering. Don’t shout loudly or attack the tower.

“What if I accidentally touch it?” Nian Ling’er couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Nian Susu glanced at Nian Ling’er and said with a smile, “If you accidentally touch it, unfortunately, the Soul Refining Tower will immediately expel you and close its doors. When the doors open again, it will be a year later.”

“Huh?” Nian Ling’er’s mouth fell open with a fearful expression.

“No.”

A deep voice sounded.

Among the eight people, other than Su Jingxing, another man in his thirties said in a deep voice, “There’s something wrong here. There are a total of nine towers. Why didn’t nine people come in?”

Su Jingxing was also puzzled about this.

One pagoda per person. Nine pagodas. Wouldn’t that allow for nine slots?

“Because the door to the ninth tower has never been opened.

Nian Su explained with a smile, “No one knows how many years this space has existed, nor does anyone know the origins of the nine Soul Refining Towers. All we know is that after the fox ancestors discovered this place, the ninth tower has always been closed. As long as the other eight towers fully absorb the holy moonlight, they can be opened once a year for us to study, comprehend, and refine our souls!”

“I see.”

Realization dawned on Nian Ling’er. She smacked her lips and said, “According to this situation, eight of the nine Soul Refining Towers are active, and the last one is dead?”

“You can say that.” Nian Susu nodded. “But it’s not accurate to describe the mysteries of the Soul Refining Towers as purely active or dead.”

“How about this? Let’s go over first. After we get close, we’ll have a deeper understanding of the Soul Refining Towers when we look at them.”

With that, he was the first to walk over.

Su Jingxing followed.

The others quickly followed.

The group of eight soon arrived in front of the nine Soul Refining Towers.

When he got close, he saw that the nine Divine Refining Towers were indeed very different.

They were clearly inanimate objects, but eight of them gave the illusion that they were alive.

However, when he probed deeper, he realized that these towers were very empty.

It was not emptiness in the senses, but in consciousness.

There was nothing, yet there was everything.

Only the ninth tower was pitch-black and dead. Although one would be inexplicably immersed in it after looking at it for a long time, it did not contain any other abnormalities.

At the bottom level of the other eight towers, a door as tall as a person had been opened. The interior was white and empty.

“How is it? Everyone saw, right? Other than the ninth, the other eight Soul Refining Towers give us a very unique feeling.”

Nian Susu’s crisp voice sounded. “As for the exact feeling, we’ll know after we enter.”

“All eight Soul Refining Towers are the same, so there’s no need to fight. Just choose any one.”

“Time is limited. I’ll go in first. See you in three days.”

Waving at everyone, Nian Susu walked straight to a Soul Refining Tower that faced her and entered through the door on the first level.

Swoosh!

After Nian Xiaosu entered, the door closed automatically.

“…”

“Let’s go in too.” The man in his thirties who had spoken earlier greeted everyone, picked a tower and stepped in.

“Sister, Brother Kong Xuan, let’s go in too,” Nian Ling’er shouted at Su Jingxing. She abandoned Nian Shuang and ran towards the nearest Soul Refining Tower.

“See you in three days,” Su Jingxing replied and also chose the nearest tower.

Swoosh!

After entering the tower, the latter automatically closed.

In the white space, Su Jingxing quickly scanned his surroundings. After confirming that there was no other existence, he closed his eyes and used his soul to comprehend the world.

At first, it was the same as before. There was nothing.

But gradually, the surrounding space suddenly changed.

In the vision of his soul consciousness, the empty world disappeared and was replaced by a nebula.

This nebula slowly spun, guiding his consciousness to extend outwards.

Starting from a speck of dust, it came into contact with a small pile of soil, then with a plant seed in the small pile. The seed sprouted, took root, broke out of the soil, and then…

Swish!

His vision retreated and his consciousness returned.

Su Jingxing suddenly opened his eyes and realized that he had already left the Soul Refining Tower.

Nian Shuang, Nian Ling’er, Nian Susu and the others had also come out.

“This… has it been three days already?”
