Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 159 - Gravity Tower Or Cultivation Tower

The evening descended on Canglan City. Bai Rouyun was seated on the bed, her eyes were closed, and the heaven and earth essence in the surroundings all poured into her body where it got refined into Qi.

The time went by fast; Bai Rouyun was not paying attention to her surroundings, and soon the moonlight shrouded her in a gentle silver light.

Li Moyun had left earlier that evening. While he was not going to leave for long, he had a few things of his own to deal with, and Bai Rouyun was going back to the Blue Water Institute the following day.

Although Li Moyun did not like Bai Mulan, it was a fact that this guard was going to ensure that Bai Rouyun would be safe, so he was not worried about going away for a short while.

Little Chu was also going to be by her side.

Bai Rouyun did not open her eyes before the first rays of sunshine shone through the windows, and she let go of a turbulent breath of air. She felt that although she had not gotten much stronger, her cultivation base had risen a bit, and she was on the verge of breaking through to the Innate Realm, Red Tier, Second Layer.

The reason she was capable of having such drastic and fast breakthroughs, while also ensuring that her foundation was not unstable, was due to the pills she had refined.

She was not capable of fully relying on these pills, but they would be able to help boost her strength from time to time.

It had now been some days since she had taken the pill, but it was not before today that she had used up the final medicinal properties within her body.

If this had not been a pill with one hundred percent purity, it would have been perilous to keep the pill’s effects in her body for so long, as the impurities would harm her cultivation base. Still, the pill she had consumed was created from an ancient formula, and the purity was unrivaled. There was not even an ounce of impurities within, and thus she was capable of storing the medicinal properties and slowly, but surely, rose to a higher rank.

Although it was rather tempting to use pills frequently, Bai Rouyun knew that she had to wait some time before she could consume another pill to boost her cultivation again, and thus she stretched her body in satisfaction.

Although she had not slept the entire night, her body was light and full of strength.

She hurried to the washroom, where she took a warm bath, before changing her clothes, and getting ready to go to the Blue Water Institute again.

Bai Rouyun did not head for the classroom. She was aware that she could already enroll in a higher class, and she was tempted to do so, but she also considered whether or not it would be worth it.

She would be given the basic understanding about cultivation that she had missed in her past life, but she would lose much of her freedom in return. Pondering her options, she went to the training ground.

She had handed in her mission, and had a number of mission points now. Although the mission was rather common, the mission points would be able to help her enter the Cultivation Tower or the Gravity Tower for at least a day.

She was pondering which one of them she should use her points on, when she realized that many of the people present were looking at her with curiosity. She did not feel much hostility in the gazes, but everyone seemed to be gossiping about her.

It did not take her long to realize that they were gossiping about her husband, who had appeared out of nowhere.

Li Moyun was a hero and a legend for most cultivators. No one knew how high his cultivation base was, but everyone knew that he could enter the cultivation world, should he wish to do so.

Initially, many had thought that Li Moyun felt nothing for his wife, but their actions for the last couple of days had caused all of them to understand that this pair of spouses loved one another.

Bai Rouyun did not care about their gossip. She was not one to mind what others thought, and since it did not bring any sort of negative impact on Li Moyun, she had no intention of caring about it.

Instead, she observed the two towers in front of her. The Cultivation Tower was taller than the Gravity Tower.

The Cultivation Tower was more expensive to use than the Gravity Tower as well. Inside the Cultivation Tower, a number of essence stones were placed. These essence stones slowly released more and more energy into the tower through a specific formation, depending on the level one was on. The higher level, the more energy was provided.

The Gravity Tower was much easier to control. It did not require essence stones to work. Instead, it fully depended on a few formations.

The formation was known as the Gravity Formation, and on the first floor there was only one formation. On the second, two were superimposed on top of one another. On the third floor, three were placed on top of one another, and this continued until the fifth, and final floor.

The sheer pressure one would encounter on the fifth floor was so heavy that one needed to be at the Innate Realm, Yellow Tier, to be able to withstand it.

Bai Rouyun was aware that with her current strength, the second floor of the Gravity Tower was her limit, while she might be able to reach the third or fourth floor of the Cultivation Tower.

However, she had just raised her cultivation base, so it would be a good idea to enter the Gravity Tower and enhance her body.
