Continuing.

Ma Yikui transformed into his Wood Spirit Body and sent it gliding into the courtyard with a thought.

A moment later, the Wood Spirit Body returned, and Ma Yikui’s face lit up with joy.

“This courtyard should be a place for refining tools, but that area has collapsed, so all the way to the back door of the courtyard, there is no danger.”

Having said that, he turned to Jin Sheng and Han Yi. Jin Sheng and Han Yi exchanged a glance and then walked into the courtyard together, with the cultivators following.

As expected, when they reached the middle, a large area on the right had collapsed. Han Yi guarded his mind and looked down to see a dark and profound vista, filled with strange and assorted sights.

With just a glance, his brow furiously twitched, and a sense of crisis suddenly surged. He quickly withdrew his gaze, and swiftly cut away all the emotions that had bubbled up to the surface, leaving not a trace behind, before he finally felt at ease.

Next, the cultivators continued to press forward. It took a full two hours, after passing through dozens of courtyards, plazas, streets, and other areas, before they finally arrived in front of the High Tower.

The original High Tower probably reached straight into the heavens, being the central core structure of the Immortal Spirit Realm, and of the Immortal City itself.

But the High Tower now had its highest parts broken off; the broken section likely fell toward the dark area on one side. Only about a kilometer in height was left, and the whole tower had also shifted at an angle toward that side. If it continued to shift, it would eventually collapse like the upper parts and plummet into the Dark Land.

However, after braving so many dangers to get here, where they were likely to find the inheritance of the master of the Immortal Spirit Realm, there was absolutely no chance of giving up.

“Inside this Immortal Spirit Realm, with such complexity, it is very likely owned by a Golden Immortal.”

“That is to say, inside this tower, there could very well be a Golden Immortal’s inheritance.”

“Everyone, this is where we part ways. From here on out, we’ll each search on our own.”

After this statement, a thrilled Jin Sheng took the lead and stepped into the tower, heading straight for the upper floors.

Most of the other cultivators also rushed inside, scattering in different directions, some headed deeper while others went higher.

This was what they had agreed upon before setting foot in this place.

The gains from the Medicine Field were to be distributed according to specific rules, but the rewards that came after would depend on individual ability, especially upon entering this High Tower.

After all, not to mention a Golden Immortal, even the true inheritance from a Profound Immortal or merely a True Immortal could provoke many to fight over it.

Even though they had sworn oaths to the Heavenly Tao and would face its punishment if they broke them, there were still ways around it, like reincarnation or cultivation rebirth, both of which could bypass the vows to the Heavenly Tao.

Therefore, from the beginning, they agreed that after entering the High Tower, it would be up to each person’s ability, and whoever obtained something, it would belong to them.

This was a common method in combined expeditions of Half-immortals to dangerous places. They would cooperate in the early stages, but when it came to the core inheritance, it was all about personal luck and chance. Those with good fortune naturally got more, and those with less couldn’t blame others.

As soon as they stepped into the High Tower, seven out of the fifteen people immediately rushed to the upper level, five others sprinted deeper inside, and the remaining three didn’t hurry but cautiously observed their surroundings before cautiously advancing to explore.

These last three people naturally included Han Yi.

At this moment, Han Yi raised an eyebrow, a look of perplexity flitting across his face.

Logically speaking, this High Tower was the core of the entire Immortal Spirit Realm and should be the most heavily defended and dangerous area.

In their previous challenges, everyone had been cautious and careful, but here, they threw caution to the wind, which seemed contradictory and left him with an inexplicable sense of confusion.

Even Li Zhengyang, who had previously been cautious, had rushed upward.

The three who remained to explore cautiously, besides Han Yi, were Yu Qian who possessed the Book of Prophecy, and Ma Yikui who could split his Wood Spirit Body.

He suddenly realized something – he now knew the reason behind the other twelve cultivators’ choices.

Immortality.

That’s right, besides the three of them, the other twelve were all at the peak of the Half-immortal stage, just a step away from the Immortal Path.

That step was what stood between them and the vast open skies, the transformation from mortal to immortal, a complete rebirth.

Yet that very step had barred ninety-nine percent of the peak Half-immortal cultivators, some of whom even fell into madness because of their obsession with becoming an immortal.

Those not blocked by this step couldn’t possibly understand the obsession these peak Half-immortals had with immortality.

Therefore.

Upon entering this High Tower, the Half-immortals charged forward rapidly, hoping to grasp enough Immortal Affinity to aid in Crossing the Immortal Tribulation and attain True Immortality.

Even the urgency of their need temporarily overwhelmed their dread of the many dangers within the High Tower.

At this moment, Han Yi understood their behavior but still could not empathize with their state of mind.

Yu Qian and Ma Yikui exchanged a glance and then gave Han Yi a cupped-fist salute before each heading off in different directions to explore.

Han Yi returned the gesture, and after that, he quickly swept the area with his eyes.

The place where they had just entered the High Tower was a damaged entrance, not the regular one, so it didn’t have any of the so-called defensive dangers.

Stepping inside, they saw a partially abandoned inner part of the tower. The space he could see was just a few hundred square meters of disarray. However, on the edges of this small area, there were several paths leading deeper inside, and on both the left and right, there were two spiral staircases leading upwards, presumably to the upper floors.

Right after they entered, the group of Half-immortals dispersed, heading deeper and to the upper levels. The slower ones, Yu Qian and Ma Yikui, also chose the passages leading deeper within.

Han Yi paused for three breaths before slowly walking deeper into the tower, choosing a path that the others had not taken.
