Free Web NovelChapter 141: The Space-Time Tower Under Siege
Lu Xunxian was not lacking in resources at the moment. What he lacked were subordinates who were absolutely loyal to him.
He glanced over the twenty-five True Immortals before him and could tell at a glance that their talents were quite good. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Given sufficient opportunities, it was entirely possible they could break through to the Immortal Venerable or even the Immortal Emperor realm in the future.
So after they swore Heavenly Dao Oaths of absolute loyalty to him, Lu Xunxian would not be stingy with his resources.
Upon hearing Lu Xunxian's words, the group instantly grew excited.
What force under the heavens dared claim they had unlimited resources, with even Top-Tier Immortal Herbs available without restriction?
Lu Xunxian paid them no further mind. He turned to Lin Chongtian and, with a raise of his hand, directly imprinted a Dao Venerable's inheritance into Lin Chongtian's mind.
"This inheritance should be enough to help you build the Immortal Court into the Immortal Realm's foremost power in a short time."
Lu Xunxian said with an impassive expression.
From Spring Breeze Immortal Venerable's memories, he had learned that the most powerful forces in the Immortal Realm were the Ten Great Races — at least on the surface.
And these so-called Ten Great Races? He had already gone to test them personally, and they were no match for him at all.
So a Dao Venerable inheritance, far surpassing any Immortal Emperor inheritance, should be more than sufficient to help the Immortal Court become the Immortal Realm's foremost power.
Before long, Lin Chongtian finished refining the Dao Venerable inheritance, his expression one of unbridled excitement.
Though he did not know what realm a Dao Venerable occupied, he had never once heard of such a realm in the Immortal Realm. Could it be an existence even more terrifying than an Immortal Emperor?
Lu Xunxian did not waste any more words with Lin Chongtian. After issuing a few instructions, he turned and left the Immortal Court.
After Lu Xunxian departed, the twenty-five True Immortals cautiously approached Lin Chongtian and asked:
"Vice Court Master, who exactly is the Court Master?"
Having witnessed Lu Xunxian's generosity, they had silently changed Lin Chongtian's title from Court Master to Vice Court Master.
Lin Chongtian naturally had nothing to say about that.
When it came to Lu Xunxian's power, Lin Chongtian's face brimmed with worship and admiration. "You don't need to know the Court Master's origins. You only need to know that no one in this world is a match for him."
"Train diligently. The Court Master will bring the two young masters to the Immortal Realm in two years."
"We must build the Immortal Court into one of the Immortal Realm's most formidable powers before the Court Master's arrival."
Upon hearing this, the twenty-five True Immortals felt a weight settle heavily in their hearts.
But then they recalled that the Court Master had promised unlimited resources, and with the terrifying Immortal Artifact that was the Time Tower to aid them, it was entirely possible they could make a name for the Immortal Court within two years.
Before long, Lin Chongtian led the twenty-five True Immortals into the Time Tower to begin cultivating.
Feeling the accelerated flow of time, Lin Chongtian addressed them.
"Whatever resources you need, just say the word. Advancing your realms is the priority."
The Peak Dao Venerable inheritance contained far more than just resources — it even included the Dao Venerable's cultivation memories and more.
In other words, as long as Lin Chongtian cultivated step by step, the Immortal Emperor realm would merely be the starting point. It was entirely possible for him to reach the Dao Venerable realm.
Not long after Lin Chongtian's group entered the Time Tower to cultivate, the powerful beings drawn by the earlier commotion arrived at the Immortal Court's perimeter.
The moment they laid eyes on the Space-Time Tower, their expressions shifted dramatically.
From the Space-Time Tower, they could sense a dense and formidable aura.
A top-tier Immortal Artifact. This was definitely a top-tier Immortal Artifact.
At this realization, the powerful beings present immediately entertained thoughts of seizing it. After all, top-tier Immortal Artifacts were exceptionally rare in the Immortal Realm — even Immortal Monarchs were unqualified to use one.
Only Immortal Venerables or even Immortal Emperors had the right to wield a top-tier Immortal Artifact.
"Everyone, this old man is Lingtian Immortal Venerable. This object is something I accidentally left behind here. I hope you will all do me the courtesy of withdrawing."
A white-haired elder stepped forward, smiling and cupping his fists toward the surrounding powerhouses.
Lingtian Immortal Venerable was a Mid Immortal Venerable Realm powerhouse.
Under normal circumstances, those powerhouses would naturally give Lingtian Immortal Venerable some face. But what stood before them now was a top-tier Immortal Artifact — how could they possibly hand it over?
"Lingtian, you old thief! You say this tower is yours? Then call out to it and see if it answers!"
Lingtian Immortal Venerable's expression instantly turned ugly. He was about to erupt in anger, but when he saw who had spoken, he forcibly swallowed his fury.
The speaker's cultivation surpassed his own.
Following Lingtian Immortal Venerable's gaze, an elder clad entirely in an eerie shade of green wore a cold sneer on his face.
Someone recognized his identity and involuntarily retreated several steps.
"Divine Poison Immortal Venerable — why aren't you staying in your Myriad Poisons Valley instead of coming here?"
Lingtian Immortal Venerable attempted to press his claim, directing his words at Divine Poison Immortal Venerable.
Divine Poison Immortal Venerable cultivated the Law of Poison, and his cultivation had reached the Late Immortal Venerable Realm. It was said that his poisons were dreaded even by those at the Peak Immortal Venerable Realm.
In response, Divine Poison Immortal Venerable gazed at the Space-Time Tower, his eyes brimming with covetousness.
"Why, I've come for this, of course. This tower belongs to me. If anyone wants to fight me for it, by all means, step forward and try!"
With those words, a dense green gas emanated from Divine Poison Immortal Venerable's body, blanketing everything within three thousand miles of the Space-Time Tower in an instant.
Sensing the threat posed by that gas, the Immortal Venerables present wore ugly expressions, but in the end, they departed resentfully.
They could see clearly enough — this Space-Time Tower was not something they could seize. One wrong move and they might very well leave their lives behind.
Those who had cultivated to the Immortal Venerable realm all valued their lives. Naturally, none of them would choose to take such a risk.
Inside the Space-Time Tower, Lin Chongtian and the others had witnessed everything. The True Immortals behind him wore extremely grim expressions.
Though they were inside the Space-Time Tower, even through the tower's walls, the sight of that green gas still sent a thick wave of dread through them. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"Vice Court Master, what should we do now?"
"Let's cultivate inside the Space-Time Tower for a year or so first. Without my permission, not even an Immortal Emperor can enter the Space-Time Tower."
Lin Chongtian took a deep breath and spoke.
Lu Xunxian had given him control of the Space-Time Tower, so he naturally understood its power.
Without his permission, not even an Immortal Emperor could enter.
As for taking the Space-Time Tower away? That was even more impossible.
After all, it was infused with Lu Xunxian's power. Though it was only a trace, even Lin Wangu himself might not be able to move it.
So Lin Chongtian was not overly concerned. He resumed cultivating with the Immortal Court members, and the battle between Divine Poison Immortal Venerable and the other Immortal Venerables outside did not affect the Space-Time Tower in the slightest.
As for Lu Xunxian, he cared even less.
Though he had sensed the Immortal Venerables rushing toward the Space-Time Tower before he left, he had not intervened.
If Lin Chongtian needed him to step in for something as trivial as this, then he might as well go to subdue an Immortal Emperor and take one as a servant instead.
