Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

Hoo~~

The river wind carried the water mist, spreading in all directions.

"Master, why not keep Hua Yuexian here?"

Cui Feijiang held his chest as he approached, puzzled, and said:

"This person is arrogant and brash, even if we can’t kill him, we shouldn’t let him go so easily, or he may become a big problem."

The Destruction Tower Master turned and looked at the people behind him, saying: "This young man carries great Qi Fortune; he possesses many life-saving items, numbering eleven or twelve pieces, making it not so easy to keep him."

Everyone who heard this felt somewhat disappointed.

Chen Ku felt a bit regretful inside as well.

The Destruction Tower Master looked at Chen Ku and said: "Since I am here now, let’s follow me back to the Destruction Tower."

"I obey the Tower Master’s command," Chen Ku said, clasping his fists.

Then, the Destruction Tower Master swung his robe sleeves, and an invisible Space Power enveloped Chen Ku along with the Four Great True Disciples and Murong Cheng.

In the eyes of all who witnessed this battle, their figures disappeared into the vast sky.

Tang Qujiang looked at the empty sky, feeling a bit lost, and thought to himself, "Today I realized how insignificant I am."

With a sigh, he too turned and left on his sword.

Other martial practitioners in Famen County quickly began to discuss.

Undoubtedly, after this battle, Chen Ku firmly sat in the position of the fourth person in the Dragon Abyss, with no one questioning it.

But at the same time...

Hua Yuexian, as part of the younger generation, first battled with Li Shentong of the Dragon Abyss temple, then Duan Xiaolou, the Jianghu leader. Although he lost both battles, he has revealed to many a truth.

That is, Hua Yuexian is only a matter of time away from being invincible in the Dragon Abyss.

This is the growth rate of a prodigy.

...

"Is this a space similar to the Cave Mansion Realm?"

Chen Ku felt the chaotic void currents from all directions, immediately sensing the familiarity of the surrounding void, similar to his Hero King Realm Cave Mansion Realm.

But just when he had this thought, he suddenly heard Cui Feijiang’s voice:

"Master, your hair..."

He immediately turned to look.

And saw that the Destruction Tower Master had six or seven strands of white hair at his temples, very conspicuous, fluttering in the wind, carrying a hint of decay.

Other disciples and Murong Cheng were also shocked:

"Master, how could this be?"

The Destruction Tower Master reached out and twirled these few strands of white hair, sighing: "Hua Yuexian is not simple at all. Although I defeated him, using the ’Mountain and Sea Giant Body’ secret technique of the flesh indeed came at a cost. These white hairs were ultimately sacrificed."

Chen Ku was startled.

Because the Destruction Tower Master, at such a Thirteenth Realm Peak stage, has already crossed the Life and Death Nirvana, his lifespan should greatly increase on the basis of a thousand years, not showing any white hair.

Now, having white hair means losing quite a bit of life energy from the body.

Immediately speaking with shame:

"Tower Master sacrificed too much for a disciple this time, I don’t know how to repay you."

The Destruction Tower Master turned his gaze to Chen Ku, with a smile and appreciation, and said:

"If your talent is as true as it is claimed, then it is the best repayment for our Destruction Tower."

"The disciple will not disappoint the Tower Master’s expectations," Chen Ku said.

"Alright, let’s go back to the tower first. I know you don’t have much time; in a few months, you will graduate from the Divine Martial Mountain, so once we return to the tower, the apprentice entry ceremony can be held, and then I will allow you to cultivate in the ’Four Extremes Sky Pool’."

The Destruction Tower Master looked at Chen Ku with anticipation:

"As for whether you can comprehend and master the other Forbidden Techniques besides ’Life Destruction’ in these few months, it depends on your own comprehension."

No more words.

Under the guidance of the Thirteenth Realm Peak Destruction Tower Master, a group of six people arrived at the headquarters of the Destruction Tower in less than half a cup of tea’s time.

Looking from afar.

The ground is a wasteland, yet there is a towering mountain, the mountain is an inverted sword, piercing the sky.

At the top of that mountain, the Treasure Tower seems to descend from the heavens, standing at the summit, all buildings abandon the traditional Immortal Cave Mansion’s spiritual fog, constructing with Black Iron Rock, Mystical Iron, Volcanic Glass, and other non-spiritual materials, with edges like knife and axe cuts, deliberately severing the flow of Heaven and Earth’s Tao Rhythm.

"Chen Ku, this is the site of our Destruction Tower, the Forbidden Technique Ruins. Shortly you’ll enter the mountain top; the top of the tower has a ’Forbidden Domain’ formed by one hundred and eight ’Forbidden Magic Beads’. The first time anyone enters here, it might feel uncomfortable, be prepared," Murong Cheng explained to Chen Ku.

Chen Ku nodded, immediately canceling some transformations of Qi Refiners in the Transformation Diagram.

As a flash of light passed through the void, with another blink, Chen Ku found himself at the front door of the Treasure Tower at the mountain top.

Turning to look, he overlooked the vast land, as if underfoot was a map of rivers and territories, feeling as if he had arrived in the Heavenly Realm, looking back at the human world.

Indeed, as Murong Cheng said, the moment Chen Ku arrived here, he felt that many powers within him were instantaneously suppressed, leaving only the power of his flesh.

Fortunately, his main reliance now is his flesh, without other Divine Skills and Spells, it doesn’t affect much.

"Welcome the Tower Master back to the mountain! Welcome the Four Great True Disciples!"

At this moment, in front of the hall of the Destruction Tower, a large number of martial practitioners were already waiting, all dressed in Civil and Martial Sleeves attire, carrying both scholarly elegance and the courage of martial practitioners.

After the Destruction Tower Master nodded.

He stepped into the tower first.

Chen Ku followed behind the five others.

Outside the hall, the many disciples wearing Civil and Martial Sleeves were also curiously looking at the young Chen Ku:

"Is that the most famous genius in Dragon Abyss this year?"

"I heard he already mastered the Life Destruction Ban from the Four Forbidden Skills..."

Accompanying the entry into the Treasure Tower of Destruction, the noise outside was no longer audible, and Chen Ku also looked at the layout inside the Destruction Tower.

Bronze-cast broken chains hung from the eaves, the walls were carved with reliefs of countless martial artists tearing apart magical treasures with bare hands, seemingly depicting various legends of the Destruction Tower ancestors.

When the Destruction Tower Master reached the end of this layer of the Treasure Tower, Chen Ku discovered a nine-zhang tall tablet offered up front.

On the tablet, there are only two words.

Heaven!

Earth!

"Our Destruction Tower emulates the heavens and earth, and reveres itself above all. Therefore, no ancestral tablet is set up here, only this Heaven and Earth Tablet. Chen Ku, from now on, you will bow your head nine times in front of this tablet, and from today, you will be a ninth generation true disciple of our Destruction Tower."

Destruction Tower Master turned and spoke to Chen Ku:

"You will also be my seventh true disciple!"

Chen Ku nodded: "Yes."

He only needed to bow to heaven and earth, and he had no mental barriers about this, so he immediately stepped forward and reached the large Heaven and Earth Tablet, and kowtowed several times.

At this time, Murong Cheng presented a tray of clear tea.

Chen Ku understood, held the tea in both hands, and presented it to the Destruction Tower Master, saying, "Disciple Chen Ku, please have some tea, Master."

Destruction Tower Master smiled and drank the tea, then helped Chen Ku up, raised a hand, and a Green Jade Token appeared, saying:

"This is the ’True Enlightenment Token’, the symbol of identity for a true disciple of our Destruction Tower. With this token, you may freely enter and exit the Four Extremes Sky. You can rest today and venture to the Four Extremes Sky tomorrow."

Chen Ku shook his head, saying, "I don’t need to rest, I can go to the Sky Pool for training today."

"Alright, I thought of familiarizing you with Destruction Tower. In this Absolute Spirit Ruins, many of the senior elders of Destruction Tower choose places to cultivate. I wanted to introduce them to you, but since you’re focused on cultivation, I’ll save it for later. You can visit them after you return from the Four Extremes Sky." Destruction Tower Master was aware of Chen Ku’s time constraints.

After saying this, he looked at Murong Cheng, saying:

"Elder Murong, take Chen Ku to the Four Extremes Sky. I am keen to see if he can truly master all four forbidden techniques, allowing our Destruction Tower to reflect the brilliance of our ancestors."

"Yes."

Murong Cheng responded, then said to Chen Ku:

"Mr. Chen, follow me. In the Four Extremes Sky, your two senior brothers are also practicing there. It’s a good opportunity for you to meet them."

"Please lead the way, Elder." Chen Ku said.

Murong Cheng then led the way.

Chen Ku thought the Four Extremes Sky would be outside the Treasure Tower, but Murong Cheng surprisingly led him directly onto the Treasure Tower.

Feeling a certain excitement, he started guessing.

"Could this Treasure Tower actually be a small world?"

They watched Chen Ku leave.

Cough~

Duan Xiaolou suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Master!" The Four Great True Inheritor immediately rushed over in a panic.

"Nothing serious!" Destruction Tower Master waved his hand, sighed, and said, "Hua Yuexian’s sword is extraordinary. It’s hard to imagine if he steps into the Fourteen Realms, whether our Nine Sects would still have a foothold in Dragon Abyss."

"With senior brother, it’s impossible for Hua Yuexian to dominate Dragon Abyss." Elderly Zhao Fahun said solemnly.

"You’re right. In the past, we had your senior brother, giving me peace of mind for the next generation. Now, we have an additional junior brother for you all."

Destruction Tower Master’s eyes seemed to penetrate the back of Chen Ku as he ascended the Treasure Tower, saying:

"Let’s see if he can truly stand shoulder to shoulder with Hua Yuexian in the future. If he can do this, with your senior brother, and this junior brother, advancing Destruction Tower to become a holy land will no longer be a mere fantasy."

"Junior brother, huh?"

The Four Great True Inheritors also recalled the battle between Chen Ku and Tang Qujiang.

Finally, Cui Feijiang spoke:

"With only eleven realms, facing junior brother might result in being defeated across realms. His talent even surpasses senior brother’s..."

...

Chen Ku followed Murong Cheng up the eight-story tower, arriving at the rooftop.

Upon arriving at the rooftop, his spirit felt jubilant.

Almost simultaneously.

The giant eye inside the Fire Beak Pot, opened its eyes:

"Eyes of the same kind...more than one..."

...

"This is the entrance to the Four Extremes Sky, the ultimate forbidden land of our Destruction Tower, where the four realms converge. It holds the power source of the four forbidden techniques which are foundational to our Destruction Tower."

Murong Cheng pointed to the four-colored treasure beads atop the building, saying:

"With the ’True Enlightenment Token’ in your hand, you can enter. Before you enter, let me explain the different realms within the Four Realms.

Spirit Stabilizing Sky Pool, where spiritual energy roils like the sea, raging like thunder.

Sealing Origin Sky, where a universe of primordial qi runs wild and births primordial qi life.

Forbidden Technique Sky Pool, where laws have primordial spirits, giving rise to law-long dragons.

Life Destruction Sky Pool, where life and death transform, yin and yang are unpredictable.

You may first choose a sky pool you are confident about entering."

Unexpectedly.

Chen Ku, upon hearing this, his eyes lit up, asking, "Is the Sealing Origin Sky a universe of primordial qi?"

"Indeed, but the qi is wild and tempestuous. Unless you comprehend the Sealing Origin Forbidden Technique, you cannot absorb or assimilate the primordial qi."

Murong Cheng said:

"This is the essence of the four sky pools. Only by understanding the four forbidden techniques can you walk out of the sky pool; otherwise, you will have failed."

"I choose Sealing Origin Sky Pool!"

Chen Ku looked determinedly at the four-colored treasure beads.

A vast universe of primordial qi...

Doesn’t it mean it’s the best place to cultivate the tenth realm Huntian Overlord Body and step into the Tenth Realm?
