Chapter 650: 339: Task Requirements, Entering the Forbidden Tower
The steward on duty there examined the Supreme Mysterious Order in his hand, then returned it to the young disciple in front of him and registered the task.
“You can do it now. The task of guarding the Black Mountain Mine has been successfully accepted. Someone will contact you at that time.”
“Thank you!” The young disciple bowed and turned to leave.
Seeing that there were no people at the window, Lu Yun proactively walked over.
Steward Wang on duty here smiled: “Junior Brother, if you want to accept a task, you must have at least the Fourth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm. But if you have a second rank or higher combat power, you can also do it.”
Hearing this, Lu Yun smiled: “If I come here to accept the task, I’m naturally confident that I have enough strength.”
Steward Wang’s plump and pale face showed a hint of laughter: “That’s true. Without a certain level of skill, Junior Brother wouldn’t actively come to accept the task. In that case, give me your Prime Origin Token and then tell me which task you want to accept.”
“I have checked, there are several suitable guarding tasks for me, but I don’t know if there are still spots available, so please let Senior Brother make a recommendation.” Lu Yun said after passing the Prime Origin Token.
“Well, let me see.” Steward Wang placed the Prime Origin Token aside, injected energy into a deep blue gem in front of him, and then a blue light curtain was displayed showing a list of tasks.
He browsed through the tasks quickly and soon displayed a page to Lu Yun. “There are more than a thousand guarding tasks available, of which sixty-seven require the Fourth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm. You can choose which one you want to accept.”
A moment later, Lu Yun’s gaze fell on a guarding task.
The task required guarding an Origin Stone mine vein for half a year, with a reward of 30,000 points.
More importantly, this vein was relatively close, located within the absolute control of the Green Flame Palace. Apart from paying attention to the Demon Beasts, there were no other dangers.
Moreover, the location of the mine had highly concentrated energy, which would be of great help to Lu Yun’s practice of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength.
Seeing Lu Yun’s interest in this task, Steward Wang smiled: “This Returning True Origin Vein is now guarded by an elite disciple of the Unity Realm. In addition, it is quite close to the sect, so there have been very few problems.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun made up his mind immediately and said straightforwardly: “I’ll choose this one, please register it for me, Senior Brother.”
Steward Wang nodded and picked up the Prime Origin Token next to him, preparing to complete the operation.
Soon, he frowned slightly and hesitated before asking Lu Yun, “Junior Brother Lu, have you not attempted the Forbidden Tower yet?”
“The Forbidden Tower?”
Information about the Forbidden Tower quickly surfaced in Lu Yun’s mind.
The Forbidden Tower was specifically designed for cultivating combat power and Divine Abilities. There were a total of four towers, corresponding to the Heavenly Human Realm, Unity Realm, True Spirit Realm, and Entering Saint Realm disciples.
Among them, the Heavenly Human Realm’s Forbidden Tower had a total of sixteen levels.
However, passing through the Forbidden Tower would not result in any point rewards, so Lu Yun had not attempted it.
Steward Wang laughed: “Junior Brother Lu, with your current realm, you cannot accept any tasks unless you have a second rank or higher combat power.
Of course, this combat power needs to be proven by the number of Forbidden Towers you have challenged.”
“This…”
“Junior Brother, hurry up. As long as you pass the fourth level of the Forbidden Tower, you can accept this task.”
“Thank you for enlightening me, Senior Brother.”
Taking back the Prime Origin Token, Lu Yun left the Task Hall and headed straight for the Forbidden Tower.
…
From a distance, Lu Yun could see a towering giant tower.
The tower was like a bamboo shoot, tall and spectacular, with a roof-like top and a bottle-shaped body, pitch black.
As he walked closer, Lu Yun’s gaze shifted.
A mysterious light enveloped the tower, with countless symbols and patterns carved on its surface, forming a terrifying array that extracted energy and spiritual energy between heaven and earth, continuously pouring it into the tower.
At the tip of the tower, each of the four corners had a black little bell hanging from it, suppressing the spiritual energy and power that entered the tower’s body.
Lu Yun’s eyes flickered as he walked quickly forward.
Below the bottom part of the Forbidden Tower, there was a black portal about ten meters high. This was the entrance and exit of the Forbidden Tower.
Above the black portal, there was an embedded gem that constantly emitted sparkling light.
Each disciple entering or leaving the tower through the portal would be scanned by the light emitted by the gem, and then a virtual shadow would appear on it.
The virtual shadow was a series of numbers, representing the number of tower levels passed.
“Junior Brother Lu?”
A melodious and slightly cold voice echoed.
Lu Yun looked forward and saw an incredibly beautiful girl in a white dress, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at him.
Yuan Yao.
Lu Yun smiled and nodded, walking up to her.
Waves rippled in Yuan Yao’s beautiful eyes, her heart filled with astonishment and curiosity.
Her eyes landed on Lu Yun, and Yuan Yao said with a trace of surprise: “In less than two months, you jumped from the late Golden Core Realm to the Second Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm. Your progress is truly embarrassing for others.”
Lu Yun smiled lightly: “After breaking through to this realm, I spent millions of spirit crystals and more than 300,000 points on resources. It wasn’t easy.”
Yuan Yao laughed: “Cultivating in the Heavenly Human Realm requires not only resources but also a powerful talent and persistent effort. Junior Brother Lu, your cultivation speed can only be described as monstrous.”
She had exchanged all the points she earned from the trials for Purple Law Pills, Clear Spirit Pills, and even used up her Profound Sky Wall comprehension time, and barely managed to reach the peak of the Second Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.
