Carefree Path of Dreams-Chapter 1077: Advancing Through The Tower

Chapter 1077: Advancing Through The Tower

Knowing that treasures were within reach, yet being unable to take them away was how painful an experience?

Fang Yuan knew that this was the same logic as with those Immortals’ storage bags earlier.

After they spread their spiritual will over every last item in their bags, they would strike like thunder if Fang Yuan touched them.

Fang Yuan had high comprehension of nomological laws, but he did not possess the power of Immortals. He might be able to escape disaster with his keen sense of space, but in the event that he did not, it would spell the end for this body.

The difficulty was undoubtedly equivalent to dancing on a blade.

It was the same now.

There might be no Immortals in the thirty-three-level tower, but there was definitely an artifact spirit!

It would not care if he followed the normal procedure to win the treasures. But if he were to steal the treasures on the third level or higher when he was still on the first level? Hehe…

The moment he made a move, the entire tower would inevitably suppress him. Most importantly, he would still be inside it and really did not have much confidence in escaping.

“This is troublesome… This artifact spirit Spirit isn’t an Immortal, and all thirty-three levels is its body. With its spiritual will spread over everything, it can keep tabs on the treasures at all times!”

Fang Yuan sighed and walked up the stairs obediently instead of teleporting.

He might look like he was showing weakness, but he was actually constantly looking around the tower closely, trying to find the artifact spirit. Unfortunately, he obtained nothing!

After all, things in the world rarely go your way… Although my mastery in the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws might be superb, having discovered the structure of the tower and the hidden spaces of the tower, I won’t be able to find the artifact spirit… unless I’m also proficient in the Nomological Laws of Life or the Nomological Laws of Soul?

Life and soul were also top nomological laws, not inferior to the Illusion Realm. Fang Yuan was cultivating both the nomological laws of the Illusion Realm and time, and he was already having a tough time dealing with them.

With some regret, he went to the second floor. Howls came immediately.

Roar!

Ow! Ow!

It was a forest. The ancient trees were strong, and vines spread far and wide, looking like green dragons.

In the center of the forest, there was a group of overlords.

They stood tall, with black hair and sharp white fangs. They were black bear Fey beasts with round white fluff on their chests.

“Golden Core Fey beast round bear?” Fang Yuan nodded. “There are about a hundred, but they’re guarding the route intently. The difficulty level increased a lot! For an assessment, it’s simply too much!”

The first twenty assessment levels were only for Golden Core cultivators after all!

If the second level was against a hundred Primordial Core Fey, what about the ninetieth level?

“The silver lining is that these round bears seem to only be at early Golden Core. Also… their movements are a little slow. I should be able to trick them into leaving.”

However, Fang Yuan was too lazy to do so. He landed on the ground and walked toward the entrance of the third level.

Roar!

The round bears raged and besieged him under the bear king’s leadership.

Chichi!

Fang Yuan did not stop as sharp Saber Qi surrounded him.

After the complete comprehension of the Nomological Laws of Saber, it was no longer just using Saber Realm with a single thought, but he himself had become a sharp ‘Heavenly Saber’!

Saber light flashed! Saber Qi splintered outward!

The round bears’ cries filled the air wherever he passed. Severed limbs flew, and fresh blood sprayed like fountains.

In just one round, more than a dozen bear corpses were lying on the ground in a terrible state.

No matter how bloodthirsty the other bears were, they were shocked. They howled and retreated continuously, giving way to the entrance of the passage.

“The rewards for passing the second level is a top-grade spirit stone and a top-grade defensive spirit artifact?”

Fang Yuan curled his lips. He did not need these but kept them anyway. He then went to the third level with faint expectations. “There should be Dao Comprehension Stones as rewards from the third level onward?”

The environment of the third level changed into a landscape of volcanoes and lava.

In midair, there were ten flaming figures.

Their spiritual will locked onto Fang Yuan after seeing him.

“Fire spirits? Peak Golden Core? This environment is perfect for them!” Fang Yuan sighed. “The second level had a hundred Fey at early Golden Core, but the third level’s ten fire spirits is ten times more difficult!”

Early Golden Core and peak Golden Core were two totally different concepts!

“This level is already so difficult. The fourth level will probably have a cultivator at peak Golden Core with comprehension of nomological laws!” Fang Yuan rolled his eyes, guessing what it could be.

Ordinary Fey did not have much perception of nomological laws, and it would be pretty shallow even if they did.

Only those geniuses who comprehended nomological laws, possibly even to completion, could display the truly formidable combat power of the Golden Core stage.

The danger would double if that set of nomological laws was not common.

“Die human!”

A few fire spirits flew over after exchanging glances. They were coordinated and could transmit their voices, clearly having some form of wisdom.

“Too bad they’re still trash to me!”

Fang Yuan slashed his palm like he would a saber!

Whoosh!

Saber Qi turned into a tornado that drew several flames into it.

Afterward, the tornado dispersed, and the fire spirits disappeared.

“Those who don’t want to die, scram!” He warned the fire spirits still guarding the passage.

“We can’t retreat. We’ll die once we do!” The rest of the fire spirits shouted desperately, “Kill! Furnace Array!”

Rumble!

They turned into several flames, gathered together, and flung themselves at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan frowned and sent out Saber Qi.

Sizzle!

Saber Qi and flames collided midair, turning into plumes of smoke, dissipating from the world.

A white light wrapped around a black stone and a wooden token, and both dropped down from the air.

“Dao Comprehension Stone?” Fang Yuan’s eyes lit up. He picked up the token. “Entrance token? I can be sent out with a thought? In other words, those who died on the first two levels died in vain? Truly overbearing and disregarding life.”

According to his estimates, Golden Core cultivators who could break through the third level had to at least comprehend nomological laws at large success to be able to find a way past those ten fire spirits.

The cruelty of this trial was apparent using that as a standard.

Golden Core cultivators who could not even comprehend nomological laws to large success were likely trash to that Holy Land. It would feel nothing even if they died.

“Dao Comprehension Stone?”

Fang Yuan abandoned the unnecessary thoughts and looked carefully at the reward in his hand.

This Dao Comprehension Stone was completely black. It was the size of a quail egg, and there seemed to be a hole in the middle, attracting his attention.

“Aura of the Heavenly Dao?”

He was almost mesmerized with one look, nearly entering a state of enlightenment.

“As expected, Dao Comprehension Stones are related to a Heavenly Dao!” Fang Yuan was very certain. “It’s not this world’s Heavenly Dao but the Heavenly Dao in the chaos of this universe!”

A Heavenly Dao was nomological laws in itself!

There were nomological laws for how a world worked, and the chaos of a universe naturally had greater nomological laws than a world!

“A world-level Heavenly Dao wouldn’t mesmerize like this. Only a Heavenly Dao of chaos…”

Fang Yuan gripped the Dao Comprehension Stone. “Really good stuff. I have to get more!”

He burst into the fourth level.

There were twenty puppets on the fourth level, and every one of them had comprehended the more ordinary nomological laws to basic mastery.

Fang Yuan did not stand on the ceremony. Saber Qi swept forward, leaving wreckage on the ground. He obtained two Dao Comprehension Stones.

The fifth level, fifty puppets… three Dao Comprehension Stones!

Sixth level, fifty puppets… Their comprehension of nomological laws was already at large success!

…

On the tenth level, in the middle of a blue ocean, Fang Yuan gazed at a huge shadow in the water and muttered, “This level’s design is rather difficult!”

The passage to the eleventh level was in the ocean, but the ones guarding it were a group soul-devouring tiger sharks at peak Golden Core!

Not only that, but every one of them had also completely comprehended a set of nomological laws. Their attacks were sharp and precise. Even Fang Yuan would suffer a loss if he were not careful.

“What the hell… This level, even half of those at Nascent Soul would probably die?”

Fang Yuan took a deep breath. “Nine Star Pearl Mystic Technique! Fifth Star!”

He had completed nine levels using only his Golden Core combat power, the Nomological Laws of Saber, and a little help from the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws. This was already the limit that an ordinary Golden Core cultivator could reach!

As such, he did not hesitate to use the mystic technique nor everything he had comprehended from the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws.

“My combat power is fully released now. I can use the Nine Star Pearl Mystic Technique until the fifth star, and with the complete Nomological Laws of Saber and large success in the Illusion Realm’s nomological Laws, no one below Immortal can defeat me! I really want to see if this thirty-three-level tower can stop me.”

Fang Yuan’s eyes were brimming with fighting intent. Countless Saber Qi fell from the sky and into the ocean, turning it bloody.

After the massacre, he reached the entrance of the eleventh level and suddenly had some surprises. “There are actually ten Dao Comprehension Stones! As expected, the greater the risk, the greater the rewards. But… I can see from the design of this building that whoever created this tower must have had some genius disciples who had comprehended top nomological laws!”

According to him, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to reach the eleventh floor without comprehending top nomological laws!

Of course, someone like him who had not only comprehended heaven-defying nomological laws but also an enhancement mystic technique was probably rare even in ancient Holy Lands!

Nothing could stand in his way after he had activated the Nine Star Pearl Mystic Technique. He passed the eleventh and twelfth levels in an instant and cut his way through until he reached the nineteenth level!

The twentieth level was where Immortals started. In other words, it was where the almighty of the ancient Holy Land had thought the limit of the Golden Core stage was!

Immortals were different no matter the era!

The lightning tribulation was a heavenly chasm, and even the weakest Immortal was inevitably stronger than anyone at the Nascent Soul stage! Such was the Heavenly Dao!

“Does that mean anyone who isn’t an Immortal would fail on the nineteenth level? The eighteenth level was a siege by a thousand puppets at peak Nascent Soul. What is there here?”

Fang Yuan stood with his saber, looking at the void.

At the entrance to the twentieth level, there was a figure in green, standing indifferently with a mysterious, ethereal feel.

“Immortal puppet?!”
