CHAPTER 255: NINE HEAVENS TOWER

"Please tell me." Li Wenqiang said.

Hearing this, Shen Xu turned to Zhen Yuan.

"If you become a weapon spirit, your soul will strengthen just enough to begin cultivating the ghost technique." Zhen Yuan said and the others couldn’t help but be shocked.

Even Shen Xu was surprised because Zhen Yuan hadn’t told him the details of his idea.

"Weapon spirit?" Li Wenqiang muttered, feeling a little overwhelmed.

After all, he was a human being.

The idea of becoming a weapon spirit was simultaneously terrifying and confusing.

[Ayuan, what are you thinking?] Shen Xu transmitted.

[Your Nine Heavens Tower doesn’t have a weapon spirit.] Zhen Yuan reminded and Shen Xu narrowed his eyes with a thoughtful expression.

The Nine Heavens Tower was a prize from the gambling stones in Formation City.

It was an immortal weapon and had nine independent spaces within itself.

Unfortunately, Shen Xu had only been able to access the first floor of the tower.

On one hand, his cultivation was lacking and he couldn’t fully activate an immortal weapon and on the other, the tower was damaged and its spirit was destroyed.

If Li Wenqiang became the weapon spirit of the Nine Heavens Tower, not only would his soul be strengthened but the tower would recover.

"You can condense a soul body once you become a weapon spirit. What do you think?" Shen Xu asked, observing Li Wenqiang to make sure he didn’t miss any expression.

"I am willing." Li Wenqiang said.

In fact, he didn’t have a choice.

If his soul was stronger, he could seize a body or become a ghost cultivator.

Unfortunately, his soul was too damaged and would be annihilated if he tried to seize a body or practice ghost cultivation.

"Are you sure?" The double asked and Li Wenqiang nodded with a firm look in his eyes.

"Thank you for the opportunity." He said.

When they heard this, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan glanced at each other and subtly nodded.

"Don’t worry. We won’t let you become the spirit of a random weapon." Shen Xu smiled, waved his hand and a tower flew out from the Chaos Flame Space.

"The Nine Heavens Tower." Feng Xue exclaimed when she saw the tower.

At the same time, she looked at Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan with strange eyes.

"Master, why do you have the Nine Heavens Tower?" She asked.

Hearing the question, Shen Xu was a little surprised and stared at Feng Xue with inquisitive eyes.

"You know it?" He asked.

"Of course I know it." Feng Xue said and quickly continued.

"The Nine Heavens Tower is very famous in the immortal realm. It’s..." Feng Xue started but stopped halfway.

"It’s what?" Yang Shi asked.

"I..., I don’t remember." Feng Xue said with a confused expression.

"Why does this keep happening?" Shen Xu complained in a low voice.

However, he soon shook his head and looked at Li Wenqiang.

"The Nine Heavens Tower is an immortal weapon. Do you think it’s good enough to become your body?" Shen Xu asked and Li Wenqiang immediately nodded.

He never expected his new body would be an immortal weapon.

After knowing, his heart eased and he felt better about becoming a weapon spirit.

"Xiaoxu, let’s retreat here for the time being." Zhen Yuan suggested and quickly continued.

"We have enough spirit stones to refine the lotuses and you can also take the chance to merge Li Wenqiang with the tower."

"Good idea." Shen Xu immediately agreed.

After that, Zhen Yuan activated several formations to hide and protect the portable cave before everyone went into the space.

Entering the space for the first time, Feng Xue couldn’t help but be shocked.

"It’s better than the portable secret realm my mother prepared for me." She said, looking around like granny Liu in the Grand View Garden.

"You can live wherever you want." Shen Xu said.

Soon after, the group separated.

Yang Shi took Feng Xue to find a place to live while Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu went to the soul nourishing tree.

"Li Wenqiang, you can live near the tree until your soul is strong enough." Shen Xu said.

"Thank you." Li Wenqiang agreed.

Because Li Wenqiang’s matter was urgent, Shen Xu chose to merge him with the tower before refining his nine-colour lotus.

First, he cut his palm and dripped one drop on Li Wenqiang.

After that, he made some hand gestures and Li Wenqiang’s soul flew out of the soul nourishing tree branch and plunged into the Nine Heavens Tower.

The difficulty came after this.

Although Shen Xu was the master, the tower was an immortal weapon refined with immortal materials and fire.

Because of this, even with the blood link between the tower and Li Wenqiang, integrating a weak soul was harder than Shen Xu expected.

Time passed and before he knew it, Shen Xu had been working on the tower for more than a space decade.

On this day, Shen Xu held his breath and made some hand gestures.

A moment later, the tower glowed with a red light and Shen Xu immediately felt a difference.

"I have succeeded." He happily exclaimed.

"Congratulations." Zhen Yuan said, rubbing his wife’s hair.

"Master." A voice suddenly called and the two saw Li Wenqiang’s soul floating out of the tower.

"How do you feel?" Shen Xu asked.

"A lot stronger." Li Wenqiang said and proudly revealed his cultivation.

"Why do you have cultivation?" Shen Xu asked in a confused voice.

After dying, Li Wenqiang lost his cultivation.

Since he had just become a weapon spirit, the double didn’t expect Li Wenqiang to already have cultivation.

After all, he had yet to give him the ghost cultivation technique.

"I received the tower’s inheritance several years ago. There was an appropriate cultivation technique within the inheritance." Li Wenqiang revealed.

When he was merging with the tower, he learned many things but couldn’t communicate with Shen Xu.

As a result, he began practising and his cultivation grew as his soul merged with the tower.

"Peak of the golden core realm. Not bad." Shen Xu praised.
