Chapter 1531: 179: Grasping Like Stardust
Chapter 1531: Chapter 179: Grasping Like StardustThe interior of the Star Tower resembles a Buddhist Pagoda.
Jiang Wang stood at the center of this place, uncertain of which floor he was on.
Looking around, the ceiling, floor, and walls all had the color of golden powder.
Around the walls, at regular intervals, there were radiant golden shrines suspended.
In each shrine were various lifelike golden Buddha statues.
The appearance of this Star Tower was not entirely the same as the Seven Stars Tower that appeared when the Seven Stars Secret Realm opened, but it roughly followed a similar principle.
Or it could be said that Master Guan Yan, through some means, imitated the scene of the Seven Stars Secret Realm being opened, thus completing his summon.
Jiang Wang could not see the outside situation; he could only feel the entire Star Tower moving.
Without a reference point, there was no way to judge the speed. But it was definitely faster than Tian Xili’s Dao Technique and faster than the beam of starlight Tian Anping sent from a distance with the Fubi Tower.
Thinking of Tian Anping, Jiang Wang couldn’t help but ponder—
Is Ji City his fortress, and is the Fubi Tower his military crossbow?
Last time when the decree was delivered, Jiang Wang felt quite strange; Tian Anping’s Inner Mansion seemed to be externalized, integrated with Ji City.
And on this night when he sneaked into the Seven Stars Valley, the person revealed another trick, launching an attack from afar through the Fubi Tower, with a momentum that seemed no less than Tian Xili’s.
Are these Tian Anping’s means to bypass the cultivation restrictions? Using the Fubi Tower and Ji City, does he indirectly utilize the power of the God Descending Realm under the constraints of the Inner Mansion Realm?
It seems he has placed his cultivation system outside his body, thereby escaping the restrictions imposed on his flesh body. In a sense, perhaps both the Fubi Tower and Ji City can be considered as his body…
Truly a terrifying figure that breaks common sense.
If it weren’t for being sealed for these ten years, what fearsome height would Tian Anping reach today?
Tian Chang’s low profile and Tian He’s seclusion, though having their own purposes, are not entirely without fear of Tian Anping’s overwhelming presence. They dare not emerge too quickly at the risk of catching Tian Anping’s attention.
Otherwise, with their abilities, they should have already been thriving.
Not letting Jiang Wang imagine for too long, the Star Tower swiftly flew for a while and suddenly halted.
Like a tower built on sand collapsing in the wind, everything constructing the Star Tower dissolved into swirling star sand… all falling into a single palm.
The owner of the palm was clad in moon-white monk robes, with a shiny bald head, exuding a jade-like luster, and had extraordinary facial features.
It was indeed Guan Yan.
This place was still a dense forest with towering trees, blocking out the sun, making the starlight conspicuous.
But the surrounding environment was such that it was indeed difficult to draw any attention away from Guan Yan.
“Senior!” Jiang Wang exclaimed with surprise, though also with joy.
The last time they parted, Master Guan Yan was just a True Spirit wandering the world’s crevices, only able to briefly appear with Su Qiyun’s Divine Jade.
Now, however, he had directly manifested a physical form, clearly achieving a significant breakthrough.
Guan Yan’s face carried some fatigue, but his smile remained warm. With a flick of his hand, he collected the star sand and simply said, “Come with me, young friend.”
Seeing Jiang Wang eyeing the star sand in his hand, he explained, “This is the Star Tower I erected when I achieved the Outer Building. Because it consumed some effort, even after my death, it didn’t collapse, just lost connection…
Later, in my current state, I no longer needed it. This time, to summon you, I specifically retrieved it. I used it to connect to the Secret Realm of the Seven Star Tower.”
Once again, this shattered Jiang Wang’s understanding!
It turned out that the Star Tower could be powerful enough to exist independently even after death!
It turned out that besides Body Refinement, elucidating the Dao, and projecting starlight, the Star Tower could also be used as a Magic Artifact!
He instantly felt that all the Outer Tower Cultivators he’d known before, and the Star Towers he’d seen, all seemed unreal.
Master Guan Yan seemed to completely guess Jiang Wang’s thoughts and further explained, “Of course, the Star Tower I built back then was somewhat different from the usual Star Towers. As I said, I put in some effort…”
Is this just “somewhat different”? The “effort” you mentioned, to what extent was that effort…?
Jiang Wang was momentarily speechless, but considering Master Guan Yan’s Telepathy, he dared not complain too much inwardly.
And Guan Yan continued, “Rest assured, I have not used Telepathy on you. It is my capability, but not my right; under normal circumstances, I would not use it. Last time when you came to the Forest Sea Source Realm… I was not yet able to control the Divine Skills I reclaimed. Now I have control. The reason it seems I can see what you’re thinking is just a general feeling, not Divine Power…”
Jiang Wang fully understood Guan Yan’s words.
When he did not use the Deviant Path Technique, he could sometimes create the effect of Astray Path through his grasp of the battle situation. This is the inertia, or instinct, gradually formed after mastering Divine Skills.
Guan Yan possesses Telepathy, has seen countless hearts, and naturally, most of the time, without using his Divine Skills, can see through some people.
What truly moved Jiang Wang was Master Guan Yan’s statement, “It is my capability, but not my right.”
After possessing immense power, Transcendent Cultivators easily develop the illusion of “I am a Deity,” viewing all beings as mere grass, treating them as objects to be controlled and dominated.
But in Jiang Wang’s view, that is merely a manifestation of an insufficiency in character to harness power.
How many could resist the temptation, possessing the power to peek into others’ minds?
Even Jiang Wang himself was uncertain if he could abstain.
