After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

"In addition, these two openings were specially made for you."

However, we must not allow outsiders to gossip, so others can also venture out.

You don't need to worry. Although this tower is extremely difficult, your father has prepared many magical treasures for you.

"We will spare no expense to ensure you obtain its internal body-refining Dao technique."

As He Anhai spoke, a red glow rose on his face. This red glow was not normal; it seemed to be a kind of final burst of energy before death.

He raised his right hand and waved it, and a leather bag flew out and landed in front of Qin Chuan.

"Inside here are ten thousand magical treasures, thirty thousand demon soldiers, one hundred and fifty thousand talismans, and one million demon jades..."

Take these. Even if it's a forced push, push them up for me and get the Daoist techniques you want!

As He Anhai spoke, he looked at Qin Chuan with such doting affection that Qin Chuan's heart trembled for a moment.

He looked down at the animal skin bag, took it in his hand, scanned it with his divine sense, and his body slowly trembled.

He could clearly sense that the vast majority of the items here had a brand-new feel to them.

And within that aura lay the imposing presence of He Anhai.

These... were all personally crafted for him by He Anhai in just two short months.

When the end comes, when life withers, when lifespan ends.

He was born to refine these items for his son.

This embodies a father's love for his child, a love that allows him to give everything.

All the items here are the product of He Anhai's life refinement.

"father…"

Qin Chuan murmured and raised his head.

This shout was not something that had been done intentionally before.

This time... it was a heartfelt expression of his gratitude towards He Anhai and his envy of He Jiusheng.

These complex thoughts prompted Qin Chuan to speak softly.

"Don't act like a child. It's a good thing that you can focus on your cultivation."

It's a pity... if only you could have done this sooner.

He Anhai looked at Qin Chuan, his eyes filled with an even deeper tenderness.

"Alright, go ahead. The Demon Immortal Tower will open in three days. If you perform well then, your father's help in opening it will not have been in vain."

He Anhai gave Qin Chuan a deep look.

Qin Chuan bowed deeply, then took the animal skin bag and, with complex emotions and melancholy, turned and left.

As He Anhai watched Qin Chuan's retreating figure, his face, no longer rosy, turned pale.

His face was more wrinkled, and his aura of death was more intense, as if his life force could be extinguished at any moment.

"Nine provinces, your father can't be with you for a lifetime."

From now on... you'll have to rely on yourself... I hope you'll be sensible...

He Anhai looked increasingly weathered; with his cultivation level, he originally had a near-infinite lifespan.

But Xunzi returned life to all living beings, so that life would eventually wither, but he has existed here for far too long.

At this moment, I no longer have the strength to continue living.

In fact, his life had already withered away many years ago.

But he was worried about He Jiusheng, so he endured it.

But now, even if he wanted to continue, he couldn't.

"Lord Xun, I will obey your decision..."

But... is your decision really the right one?

If the strong do not possess infinite life, and if we cultivators do not cultivate immortality, then where is the other shore of cultivation?

He Anhai sighed and closed his eyes.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, which were filled with exhaustion, but still revealed a glimmer of brilliance in his final moments.

"I cannot close my eyes yet. Before I return to the Void, I still need to refine a true life-saving treasure for the nine provinces."

I have been refining this treasure for many years, and it is only missing the final step...

Once this treasure is refined, even if he hasn't mastered the Soul Separation Technique, he will still be able to survive the Nine Tribulations!

It's even quite possible that it will help him master the Soul Separation Technique!

……

Qin Chuan returned to his cave, while Li Yun Chu was still meditating with his eyes closed, immersed in his cultivation insights.

Qin Chuan sat there, looking at the cave walls and the luxurious surroundings, and fell silent.

After a long while, he looked down at the animal skin bag in his hand.

The bag wasn't heavy, but it felt incredibly heavy in Qin Chuan's hands.

What's inside isn't a magic weapon, but a father's love for his son.

It contains life, it contains true feelings.

After a long while, Qin Chuan sighed softly and closed his eyes.

He thought of his parents, those blurry figures in his memory.

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Three days later, as the sound of bells echoed throughout the entire Demon Immortal Sect.

Countless disciples of the Demon Immortal Sect awoke with a start, flying out in bewilderment, all wondering what had happened.

They saw bursts of colorful lights suddenly appear in mid-air above the Demon Immortal Sect.

The light spread in all directions, filling the entire sky.

This made the three upside-down mountains in the sky even clearer.

As the light grew stronger, it shone on the seven peaks of the Demon Immortal Sect.

Countless cultivators were all shaken to their core.

Some of the more senior disciples' expressions slowly changed, as if they had thought of something, and disbelief appeared in their eyes.

The light lasted for a quarter of an hour.

Suddenly, at the very center of that light, a huge crack appeared in the sky.

The crack stretched across the entire sky.

Like a gaping maw with no end in sight, the moment it appeared, a deafening roar echoed through the heavens.

A bronze tower, radiating a precious light, slowly descended from the crack.

Each level of this tower is connected to nothingness by four iron chains.

With a total of ninety-nine floors and nearly four hundred iron chains, it forms a breathtaking scene that would shake anyone who sees it.

At first glance, this tower appears to be infinitely large.

Until the roar echoed and the earth shook.

As the bronze tower slowly sank, it grew larger and larger until it almost completely replaced the sky.

It made it feel like night, even though it was clearly early morning.

Finally, this enormous tower descended between the fourth and third peaks.

It descended upon... that ground, above the deep pit where, according to legend, a demon god guarding the sect resided.

However, it did not completely press down on the ground, but floated up.

This caused a huge shadow to replace the sky of the Demon Immortal Sect.

It appears to have landed on the deep pit, but that's only relative to the center.

In reality... from a distance, it appeared to descend upon the entire land of the Demon Immortal Sect.

Beneath the pitch-black tower, there lies not only a deep pit, but also seven mountain peaks of the earth!

All the disciples of the Demon Immortal Sect were breathing heavily, staring blankly at everything.

On the first floor of the tower, there is a large, closed bronze door.

It is carved with countless mythical beasts, full of the sense of vicissitudes and primordial chaos.

The massive tower was awe-inspiring, making the cultivators seem like mere ants in comparison.

Even the seven great mountains seem like children in its presence.

Just then, seven suns suddenly rose from the seven mountain peaks.

As the seven suns, each a different color, slowly rose into the sky, all the disciples of the Demon Immortal Sect knelt down in worship.

Because within these seven suns, seven figures sit cross-legged.

They are the seven supreme beings of the seven mountain peaks!
