Chapter 1424: Chapter 1424: Star Tower City
Jing Yan did not linger long at the Divine Woman Sect; only a few days later, he departed from the main headquarters with Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue.
The trio boarded a spaceship, heading toward Star Tower City.
The journey from the Divine Woman Sect to Star Tower City is extremely long. If one uses a transmission array, they can arrive quickly. However, Jing Yan is not in a hurry to reach Star Tower City. Riding a spaceship was a decision he made after consideration.
During the flight, Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue can also practice and improve their realms. With the ten Law Ancestors obtained from the Divine Woman Sect to absorb, it is believed that it won’t take long for the two women to advance to the Middle-level Void God Realm.
Several years later, the spaceship transporting Jing Yan and his companions was nearing Star Tower City.
Throughout these years of flight, Jing Yan’s spaceship has encountered a few minor troubles. However, these troubles were easily resolved by Jing Yan, such as encountering thieves attempting to plunder the spaceship, which Jing Yan directly obliterated.
"Husband, is this Star Tower City?" All three, including Jing Yan, stood on the deck, with Gao Feng gazing at the vast city that appeared ahead and spoke.
"Yes. This is Star Tower City. Previously, this city was one of the iconic cities of All Paths Sacred Land, but now it’s controlled by the Wanbao Divine Hall. Even the Quenching God Star Tower has been seized by the Wanbao Divine Hall," Jing Yan nodded and said.
Star Tower City got its name precisely because of the Quenching God Star Tower.
The Quenching God Star Tower is said to be a treasure brought from Chaos by the All Paths Venerable back then. This treasure can temper the Divine Soul Body of a martial artist, making it an extremely rare treasure in all of Chaos.
It is exceedingly difficult to elevate a martial artist’s Divine Soul Body. Treasures that can enhance the Divine Soul Body are exceedingly rare and are things that can be encountered but not sought. Even with Divine Crystals, they are difficult to obtain.
For almost all martial artists, the enhancement of the Divine Soul Body can only come from the elevation of the realm.
Especially for martial artists who have reached the God Lord Level, the difficulty in enhancing the strength of the Divine Soul Body is even greater. Even divine grass materials that can enhance the strength of the Divine Soul have unsatisfactory effects on the Divine Soul Body for martial artists at the God Lord Level.
And this Quenching God Star Tower is a treasure that can temper the Divine Soul Body of martial artists at the God Lord Level.
Back then, All Paths Venerable placed this rare treasure here. This place gradually developed into a vast city and became one of the iconic cities of All Paths Sacred Land.
Jing Yan learned from Sect Master Xiao Ziyi that after the last Holy Master of All Paths Sacred Land went missing, the interior of All Paths Sacred Land fragmented into five branches. Star Tower City had always been controlled by the original branch of All Paths Sacred Land. Although the other four branches coveted Star Tower City, they never fully severed ties with the original branch.
However, the original branch of All Paths Sacred Land ultimately could not hold onto Star Tower City, nor defend the Quenching God Star Tower. Both the rare treasure and the city fell under the control of Wanbao Divine Hall. The forces of the original branch of All Paths Sacred Land were completely swept out of Star Tower City.
With the original branch losing Star Tower City, the other four branches did not offer any help, and their indifferent attitude allowed Wanbao Divine Hall to take the city with such ease.
In fact, even though the overall strength of All Paths Sacred Land was not what it once was, if the five branches could unite, Wanbao Divine Hall wouldn’t be able to blatantly disregard All Paths Sacred Land.
Thinking of these things, Jing Yan could not help but lament. If the All Paths Venerable had not fallen, would All Paths Sacred Land have declined to this state?
"Let’s go! Let’s enter Star Tower City and have a look; I am quite curious about the Quenching God Star Tower. Sect Master Xiao Ziyi mentioned that martial artists at the Divine Lord Realm can temper their Divine Soul Bodies within the Quenching God Star Tower, which is greatly beneficial for God Lords. If possible, I would like to enter the Quenching God Star Tower to take a look." Jing Yan said with slightly squinted eyes.
Then, he led Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue off the spaceship, stored the spaceship, and approached the city gates of Star Tower City.
After paying a rather exorbitant entrance fee, the three entered this city with great fame in the All Paths World.
Once inside the city, the trio first randomly found a tavern to enjoy some delicacies and casually inquire about the Quenching God Star Tower.
Although they received quite a bit of information from Xiao Ziyi, the Divine Woman Sect is relatively distant from Star Tower City, and there are some circumstances that Sect Master Xiao Ziyi may not be fully aware of.
"Brother, we’ve traveled from afar and have long admired the Quenching God Star Tower; could you tell us about it?" Jing Yan smiled and asked a servant.
This servant was also a martial artist of the True God Realm.
Upon hearing Jing Yan’s question, he did not show any surprise.
In Star Tower City, many foreign martial artists arrive daily, most seeking the Quenching God Star Tower. Although only strong individuals of the Divine Lord Realm can enter the Quenching God Star Tower, even martial artists at the Main God or True God Realm, who cannot enter the Quenching God Star Tower, still wish to observe it up close.
"Greetings, esteemed guest!"
"Our Star Tower City is best known for the Quenching God Star Tower. It’s located at the city’s center in Star Tower Square, making it easy to find. However, the rules for entering Star Tower Square have changed compared to before. Previously, any martial artist could enter Star Tower Square without any conditions, but now, those wishing to enter must pay a fee." The servant smiled at Jing Yan.
"Haha, even going to Star Tower Square requires a fee?" Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes, a fee is required. But esteemed guest need not worry; the fee is not very high, even a typical True God can afford it. Since you have arrived in Star Tower City, you likely wouldn’t abandon entry to Star Tower Square over this fee." The servant explained.
"Only by entering Star Tower Square can one see the world-renowned Quenching God Star Tower. From outside, it cannot be seen." The servant continued.
"Are you fellow Daoists planning to go to Star Tower Square as well?"
At this point, a voice came from beside them. Speaking was a middle-aged man, accompanied by a middle-aged female martial artist at his table.
"The Quenching God Star Tower, famous throughout the All Paths World. I came to Star Tower City this time specifically to witness the Quenching God Star Tower’s magnificence." Jing Yan bowed slightly to the man and said.
"Haha, to be honest, the two of us also came from another place, and like you, we want to see the Quenching God Star Tower." The middle-aged man laughed and said, "How about this, let’s go to Star Tower Square together later?"
"Alright! My name is Jing Yan, and this is my Daoist partner Gao Feng, and my daughter Jing Dongxue." Jing Yan took the opportunity to introduce Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue.
