Chapter 581: Chapter 572: Martial Arts Sky Tower

Shi Jinsuai saw Shi Feng sitting across his own table and, hearing him ask again about the noise from before, opened his mouth and said, "Actually, brother, I don’t have much information. I’ve only heard that beneath the Imperial Palace of Tianlan Imperial City, a long, long time ago, the ancestors of the Imperial Family Lann, along with a coalition of powerful figures, suppressed an ancient fierce beast from the Ancient Period!

It is said that in those days, the beast was incredibly powerful. When it emerged in Tianlan Empire, it devoured tens of millions of people in just three days, including several Martial Saints. In the end, it took the efforts of a One-star Martial Emperor to suppress the beast and seal it beneath the Imperial Palace!

However, I’ve heard that after such a long period, the sealing power has grown weaker and weaker. It’s very likely that this beast will break free from its suppression within a few years. The tremors we heard earlier were caused by the ancient fierce beast as it tried to break the sealing power, and that powerful presence was indeed the breath of the beast."

"One-star Martial Emperor suppressed it!" Shi Feng murmured softly after hearing Shi Jinsuai’s words. Yet, such power would not be considered overwhelmingly great for a creature from the ancient times.

Then, Shi Jinsuai continued, "I have also just gotten hold of some information about why the Tianlan Empire is hosting this martial arts competition for the purpose of selecting a marriage partner."

"Oh? Why?" Shi Feng didn’t expect that Shi Jinsuai would suddenly know so much information, even such secretive news. It must mean he has connections high up.

Shi Jinsuai said, "The hosting of this martial arts competition is indeed related to that ancient fierce beast!"

"How so?" Shi Feng inquired.

"I’ve heard that the reason why the Imperial Family Lann has ruled the Tianlan Empire for many years and each generation has produced peerless powerhouses is that the Lann Family possesses a treasure tower called Martial Arts Sky Tower!

The Martial Arts Sky Tower has nine levels. It is rumored that every martial artist, upon stepping into each level, can receive vast energy and Martial Arts Enlightenment from within the tower. The energy and enlightenment of each layer surpass the previous one, becoming increasingly profound.

What happens once one reaches the ninth floor, no one knows. The tower has powerful forces preventing anyone from ascending further. Since the ancestors of the Lann Family acquired Martial Arts Sky Tower, the highest anyone has reached is the seventh floor. Each martial artist also only has one chance to enter the tower; anyone trying to enter a second time would be expelled by the tower’s mysterious power."

After hearing Shi Jinsuai’s story, Shi Feng combined it with the purpose of Tianlan Empire’s hosting of the martial arts competition and the beast sealed under the palace. Seeming to understand, he said,

"So, the martial arts competition this time is using the beauty of Princess Linglong as a draw, gathering geniuses from everywhere. They will choose the most powerful among them as the Prince Consort. Then, they will allow him to enter the Martial Arts Sky Tower to help him gain mighty energy and profound Martial Arts Enlightenment.

When the time comes, if the ancient fierce beast breaks free from its seal, they will have a deadly showdown with it!"

After hearing Shi Feng’s words, Shi Jinsuai nodded with a smile and said, "Brother, you really are clever, catching on so quickly. The Lann Family is indeed looking for a strong enforcer to marry the most beautiful woman of the Eastern Domain to him, to help him increase his power, and ultimately, help them fight against that ancient fierce beast to defend their Tianlan Empire."

Shi Feng’s lips curled into a smile and he said, "They aren’t worried that this person, after gaining power, might just slap his butt and leave, are they?" Upon hearing about the Martial Arts Sky Tower, Shi Feng’s interest was piqued. After all, he was in need of strength!

Also, considering the disturbances at Undying Mountain, when he eventually went there, power was precisely what he would need.

As for the fight with that fierce beast, Shi Feng had no interest whatsoever.

Shi Feng’s current goals were to enter the Martial Arts Sky Tower and to keep the promise he made to Jin Mo, to help her obtain the freedom she desired.

Seeing the smile that suddenly appeared on Shi Feng’s face, Shi Jinsuai chuckled, "I can see what you’re thinking, brother. If you do win first place, not only will you be able to enter the Martial Arts Sky Tower, but you’ll also bed the foremost beauty of the Eastern Domain, and then leave with a slap on your butt!"

"Alright, let’s not talk about this." Shi Feng waved his hand dismissively towards Shi Jinsuai and said, "Right now, there’s something I’d like you to do for me."

"Oh? What is it?" A curious expression appeared on Shi Jinsuai’s face as he asked. It seemed there was something else, more important than bedding the most beautiful woman of the Eastern Domain.

"Send someone to the Chu Family of Starshine City, to the mountains behind their house. There’s a place there called Sealing Land. A man from the Chu Family named Chu Yue and his daughter Chu Xin entered that sealed area not long ago. Have someone keep an eye out for them. If the father and daughter come out, have your man tell them I’m looking for them, and inform me immediately as well."

Shi Feng instructed. Inside the Sealing Land was the Sacred Flame and the Bloodthirsty Sword. He had sensed a Sacred Sword Fragment there, vital for strengthening the Bloodthirsty Sword, and Shi Feng was determined to get it at all costs.

That day, standing on top of a small hill, Shi Feng had detected the powerful Sealing Power and knew he could not enter on his own. Only with the key held by the father and daughter could he gain access to the sealed area.

"Oh, a father and daughter?" Curiosity deepened on Shi Jinsuai’s face after hearing Shi Feng’s words. His attention was mostly drawn to the word "daughter," and then he asked Shi Feng, "This woman must surely be extremely beautiful, right? Brother Shi, rest assured, I will send someone to Starshine City immediately."

Ignoring the slightly suggestive undertone of Shi Jinsuai’s earlier words, Shi Feng nodded his acknowledgment and reiterated, "Hm! And remind that person, upon seeing Chu Yue or Chu Xin, to notify me at once."

"You can count on me when I am dealing with something," Shi Jinsuai stated.

After finishing, Shi Jinsuai stood up, and with a light shake of his golden fan, he left the private room, making arrangements for Shi Feng’s request.

"Martial Arts Sky Tower!" After Shi Jinsuai had departed, Shi Feng thought again of the Martial Arts Sky Tower Shi Jinsuai had mentioned and murmured with resolve, "That first place, I must secure!"

"If it’s really the tower I’m thinking of, then boy, if you truly manage to enter it, you’re indeed in luck!" Just then, the Sacred Flame within Shi Feng suddenly spoke up, addressing him.

Surprised by the sudden voice of the Sacred Flame, Shi Feng asked immediately, "That tower? Do you actually know about the Martial Arts Sky Tower?"
