saint of humanity

"Yes, the Dragon City Ceremony is about to begin!" Su Yan suddenly realized. Normally, she should not forget such a big thing, but in recent years she has been busy with her promotion to Hedao and has no time to be distracted. Lu Ye's recent arrival has made her ignore everything in the outside world.

Zhu Yin smiled and said, "Although it hasn't started yet, Dragon City is very lively now. Sister Yan, do you want to live with me for a while?"

Su Yan didn't answer in a hurry, but looked towards Lu Ye.

She has a quiet temperament and doesn't like a too noisy environment. Almost all the Phoenix people are like this, because the place where they live is inherently quiet, and because each Phoenix member has its own Phoenix nest, it can be said that they are often alone.

I've long been accustomed to this kind of loneliness.

The reason why she looked at Lu Ye was because she was wondering whether Lu Ye would be interested in this lively event. Moreover, since Zhu Yin came to invite her personally, she would definitely go, and of course she would ask Lu Ye's opinion.

What he saw was that Lu Ye was swinging his sword with a focused look, and the power of space was lingering on the blade.

Zhu Yin followed her gaze, thought for a moment, and said, "Brother Lu, do you want to go with us?"

"Hmm?" Lu Ye came back to his senses. He had just had a fierce battle with Su Yun and had gained a lot of insights. He was immersed in it at the moment. Moreover, Zhu Yin and Su Yan were talking, and he felt that he had no right to interrupt them. However, he didn't want to be asked this question suddenly.

Su Yan looked at him and said, "The Dragon City Ceremony is about to begin. Sister Yin wants to ask if you want to go and see the excitement." She then took Zhu Yin's hand and patted it, her face slightly flushed, "Just call me brother-in-law, there's no need to call me senior brother."

Zhu Yin blinked, her expression a little unnatural: "Brother-in-law."

Lu Ye was happy. It was quite interesting to suddenly have a sister-in-law from the dragon clan. However, when he met Zhu Yin's eyes, he couldn't help but recall the delicate touch in his mind.

They all looked away instantly.

Lu Ye raised his hand and scratched his chin: "Dragon City Ceremony, let's go and take a look."

Zhu Yin nodded hurriedly: "That's it, I have something else to do, Sister Yan, when you and...brother-in-law are over, just call me."

"Are you leaving now?" Su Yan was stunned. It was rare for Zhu Yin to come over, and she wanted to talk to her for a while longer.

Zhu Yin looked in a hurry: "I still have to invite others." It was the first time she lied in front of Su Yan. Her face turned red and her heart was beating like a drum.

There was nothing wrong, but I felt inexplicably guilty, as if I had done something to let Sister Yan down, and I just wanted to leave here quickly.

"Slow down." Su Yan looked at Zhu Yin's figure soaring into the sky and shouted with concern.

When Zhu Yin disappeared, Su Yan frowned and said, "Why is this girl acting a little weird today?"

Not just today, but last time as well.

"Yan'er, what is the purpose of the Dragon City Ceremony?" Lu Ye quickly distracted her attention.

"Brother, haven't you heard of it?" Su Yan was surprised.

Lu Ye shook his head. He really had never heard of it. He had not been in the inner world for a long time and had not come into contact with many people and things. The information he knew was basically the most basic information that everyone knew.

I have indeed never heard of the Dragon City Ceremony.

Su Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then Senior Brother must not know about the Tower of Time?"

"Tower of Time!" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. This name sounded a bit extraordinary. "Is it related to the Dragon City Ceremony?"

Su Yan said: "Of course it is related. The reason why there is the Dragon City Ceremony is because of the Tower of Time. According to the records in the classics, this matter can probably be traced back to the time when this universe was first formed..."

Lu Ye's expression slightly changed: "In short, it's a long story?"

Su Yan didn't react immediately. After a breath, she smiled and said, "Yes, it's a long story."

"Then Yan'er, take your time and close the Phoenix Nest first."

Su Yan looked at Lu Ye holding her hand in astonishment, and then walked into the house: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Lu Ye said seriously: "I have gained a lot of insights from the battle just now, and I need your help to sort them out."

Su Yan's originally normal face suddenly turned red, and her eyes became blurry.

After a while.

While Lu Ye was reflecting on himself, he also paid some attention to listening to Su Yan's story.

"Our Phoenix Clan and Dragon Clan actually have the same ancestor..."

Lu Ye couldn't help but imagine a monster with a dragon body, a phoenix head, dragon claws, and a pair of phoenix wings. He was secretly surprised. The dragon and phoenix tribes were obviously two different races. How could they have the same ancestor? This didn't make sense. The body structures of the two tribes were completely different.

"Of course, this is just a record in the classics. No one knows whether it is true or not." Su Yan faced Lu Ye's direction, exhaling sweet air, "That ancestor left us the Phoenix Clan with the Taichu Wutong Tree, and left a Tower of Time for the Dragon Clan. The power of time permeates the tower, and the speed of time inside is different from that outside."

"What's the difference?" Lu Ye became interested.

"The tower is divided into ninety-nine floors. As you go up one floor, the time flow rate inside the tower is twice as fast as that outside. So if you can stay on the top floor of the Tower of Time for one year, it is equivalent to a hundred years in the outside world!"

Lu Ye was amazed: "There are such treasures in this world? Doesn't that mean that if you practice at the highest level, your efficiency will be a hundred times that of the outside world?"

Su Yan nodded slightly, her hair falling on Lu Ye's chest: "That's right."

"No wonder Dragon City has such a strong foundation." Lu Ye sighed with emotion. With such a treasure, what force can't rise? All they need to do is to enter the Tower of Time and Space to practice. The efficiency is simply unmatched by outsiders.

Su Yan shook her head gently: "Dragon City's heritage has little to do with the Tower of Time. Although this tower belongs to Dragon City, Dragon City cannot control when it will open. It may open automatically once every few hundred years or thousands of years. The duration of each opening is uncertain, ranging from a year and a half to eight or nine years. The longest recorded time has never been ten years."

Lu Ye said in a solemn voice: "Your ancestor is extraordinary..."

The Taichu Wutong is the foundation of the Phoenix Clan and is also a top-notch treasure. The Tower of Time must also be the foundation of the Phoenix Clan. To leave such treasures to the two clans, the ancestor must have been an unimaginably powerful person.

However, if it could only improve the efficiency of practice, Lu Ye would not be very interested.

With the help of the power of the talent tree, he can greatly improve the efficiency of his practice, and he also has a large number of Dao fish in his hands, so he is not short of Dao power.

However, the speed at which time flows inside interested him.

"The ancestor who left the Tower of Time left a warning to Dragon City. Although this tower belongs to Dragon City, every time it is opened, it must face the entire universe. The ancestor said that when creating this tower, the power of the entire universe was borrowed, so it cannot be monopolized by the dragon clan. Therefore, when the Tower of Time is opened, it is the time of the Dragon City Ceremony. Every time this happens, countless cultivators in the entire world flock to it, wanting to enter the Tower of Time to practice."

"Our ancestor is truly humble." Lu Ye exclaimed in admiration.

Su Yan was already blushing, but she remained strong and calm. After hearing what he said, her face became even redder.

However, after listening to Su Yan's explanation, Lu Ye understood why the Dragon City Ceremony was so lively. Basically, everyone was going to the Tower of Time.

The dragon clan is also quite capable. Just based on an ancestral precept that cannot be corroborated, they have repeatedly opened up treasures like the Tower of Time to the entire inner world.

If any other race possessed such a treasure, they would definitely treasure it. However, as Longcheng is one of the top ten cities in the inner world and the largest Hedao city, it is fully qualified to enjoy it exclusively.

"Will anyone be able to enter the Tower of Time at that time?" Lu Ye asked again.

Su Yan closed her eyes, bit her lips slightly, her hair fluttering: "That being said, the number of people that the Tower of Time can accommodate is limited. No more than 30,000 cultivators can enter each time it is opened, so some screening is required after all. Before the Tower of Time is opened, Dragon City will select the right candidates."

"Wouldn't that mean there would be a fight?"

"You can fight. Dragon City will set up arenas everywhere. If you feel you are strong enough, you can go forward to fight. There are also many other tests for people to choose from. No matter which test you pass, you will be qualified to enter the Tower of Time."

Lu Ye frowned: "No ban on life and death?" If so, wouldn't the entire Dragon City Ceremony be bloody? Would Dragon City allow such a thing to happen?

"That's not the case. There won't be any deaths in those trials. Even the ring battles will be stopped at a certain point. There are strong men invited by Dragon City to watch over them. But once you enter the Tower of Time, there are no rules. There have been many casualties among the monks who have entered the Tower of Time in the past."

Lu Ye laughed: "Then wouldn't it be a big disadvantage for us Rong Daos? The He Daos will also fight for the chance to enter the Tower of Time, right?"

"Of course, but you don't have to worry. Not to mention that the many tests are divided into different levels of cultivation, there are tests for Rong Dao and He Dao. Even after entering the Tower of Time, Rong Dao and He Dao are basically separated. Generally speaking, He Dao people will try their best to occupy the higher levels, and Rong Dao people will stay at the lower levels. Of course, if you think you are strong enough, you can also try to break into the tower level of He Dao people."

Lu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't know what kind of grand occasion the Dragon City Ceremony would be, but just by listening to Su Yan's narration, he knew that this was an event that no cultivator in the inner world would want to miss. Thirty thousand places sounded like a lot, but compared to the total number of participants in the ceremony, it was probably just a drop in the bucket.

It will not be easy to compete for the places at that time.

"Don't the people in Longcheng have the means to send people directly into the Tower of Time?" Lu Ye asked.

Su Yan nodded: "Indeed, there is such a method, but they don't have many places. The Tower of Time has its own tower spirit, which follows the instructions left by the ancestor, so except for those few places, anyone else who wants to enter must pass the test."

Lu Ye immediately gave up the idea. He had thought that the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan were as close as one family, and he was half a Phoenix Clan, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to ask the Dragon Clan for a spot to enter the tower.

It's not that I really want to go in and practice, but it's rare to come across such a rare treasure, so it's good to go in and broaden my horizons. (End of this chapter)
