Chapter 1755: Chapter 1612: Tower of Ten Thousand Floors

On the Heavenly Guard Tower, Qin Ji’s eyes swept across the rows of jade palaces like blades.

Suddenly, his gaze flickered, locking onto a particular courtyard.

“Hmph, as expected, still here!” Qin Ji coldly snorted.

At that moment, the Starry Sky Flood Dragon coiled in the sky descended rapidly. Qin Ji leapt onto the dragon’s back and soared in the direction of the Divine Dew’s surging energy. Behind him, numerous colossal dragons appeared one after another, their immense flesh wings blotting out the starlight.

…

A shadow passed overhead. Chu Mu looked up to see the white Starry Sky Flood Dragon’s massive figure.

The breadth of its body rivaled that of a bridge, and its long, winding form delivered an intense visual impact.

“Seal the area!” Qin Ji commanded.

The Imperial Guards swiftly formed a blockade. Totem Believer Women and servant girls walking in the courtyard and corridors displayed expressions of panic, believing someone had committed a severe mistake.

At that instant, Qin Ji, suspended in mid-air, furrowed his brows, his gaze sweeping darkly across the courtyard.

“What’s the matter?” Mrs. He inquired.

“Just now, I sensed the energy aura of Divine Dew nearby, but it quickly vanished.” Qin Ji replied.

“So, the thief truly is still here?” Mrs. He said.

“Yeah. I’ve already ordered my subordinates to search each room one by one. We’ll have results soon…” Qin Ji said.

As his voice trailed off, a faint energy fluctuation emanated from a corner of the courtyard.

Qin Ji’s hawk-like eyes instantly locked onto the spot!

Simultaneously, Mrs. He sensed it too—an aura that seemed to belong to a ghostly entity!

“A ghost!” Qin Ji and Mrs. He exchanged a glance, their faces tinged with shock.

Ghostly creatures are known for their unparalleled elusiveness, often undetectable even with heightened perception.

If the Divine Dew thief were truly a ghostly being, its ability to move freely within the Totem Temple would be feasible. Ghosts possess the uncanny power to traverse physical barriers, making them unparalleled thieves.

Both Qin Ji and Mrs. He flew toward the corner emitting ghostly fluctuations. Qin Ji unleashed his strong perception, meticulously probing every inch of the courtyard!

Suddenly, a miniature figure darted from one wall to another, disappearing swiftly into a room!

Both Qin Ji and Mrs. He simultaneously tracked the small ghost’s movement!

“Star Lock!” Qin Ji commanded the Starry Sky Flood Dragon in the sky.

The dragon’s eyes gleamed like brilliant stars, radiating luminous beams that intertwined into a cage of starlight, trapping the room where the small ghost had hidden.

The ghost seemed to sense the spatial seal; just as it was enclosed within the Star Lock, it suddenly burst out of the room!

“ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!”

A thunderous dragon roar erupted, and with a staggering presence, the Ghost Sting Dragon materialized before Qin Ji and Mrs. He!

Qin Ji and Mrs. He swiftly retreated, while the massive tail of the Starry Sky Flood Dragon descended from the sky, aiming to strike the Ghost Sting Dragon fiercely!

“BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!”

The tail obliterated the entire courtyard, but the Ghost Sting Dragon agilely evaded the blow.

“WHOOSH~~~~~~~~~~~”

As the battle unfolded, all the Imperial Guards promptly surrounded the area. Dragon shadows flew through the air, perched imposingly between walls, their colossal skulls level with towering eaves.

Both Qin Ji and Mrs. He gazed solemnly at the Ghost Sting Dragon!

In the Heavenly Palace, dragons of various kinds abound, and most of the Imperial Guards have dragons as their Soul Pets.

However, Ghost Dragons are a rarity, unseen even within the Heavenly Palace and seldom sighted across the Mortal World’s continents.

The reason for Qin Ji and Mrs. He’s astonishment was the extraordinary rarity of the Ghost Dragon standing before them, particularly as this one was a High-Level Immortal-tier Ghost Dragon!

At this moment, an azure soul contract radiance shimmered around the Ghost Dragon’s body, forming a Soul Pet pattern that tore open a spatial rift.

The azure pattern flickered, and the Ghost Dragon swiftly vanished into the torn space, disappearing from view!

When Qin Ji saw the soul contract glow, he realized it was a Soul Pet Master’s summoning array. He immediately ordered the Starry Sky Flood Dragon to seal the Ghost Dragon’s surroundings, aiming to prevent the Soul Pet Master from recalling the Ghost Sting Dragon.

However, Qin Ji underestimated his opponent’s capability. Before calling back the Ghost Sting Dragon, the thief had created an almost imperceptible fissure in the spatial seal. While other creatures couldn’t escape through such fractures, a ghost could easily slip through even the tiniest spatial gap.

Qin Ji’s expression grew ever grimmer, his cold eyes fixating on another direction.

From that direction came clear soul contract fluctuations, mingled with ghostly and anomalous aura, alongside traces of Divine Dew’s faint energy!

That must be the thief!

Furious, Qin Ji realized the thief had used the Ghost Dragon and rudimentary spatial tricks to mislead him and the Imperial Guards, only to escape in the opposite direction!

The fluctuations from the thief’s location faded quickly, indicating that they had employed a highly proficient concealment technique. As Qin Ji rushed toward the scene on the Starry Sky Flood Dragon, he found no trace of the thief…

“They escaped!” Mrs. He furrowed her brows.

“They won’t get away. I will capture them!” Qin Ji declared coldly.

“They fled toward the Tower of Ten Thousand Floors. That area houses mid-to-low level Believer Women, Female Attendants, Female Xuan Masters, Immortal Masters, Female Imperial Guards, and others whose identities may be difficult to ascertain, along with their dependents and disciples. Conducting a thorough search would be a disruptive affair,” Mrs. He said.

Mrs. He liked to keep matters subdued, preferring not to stir chaos within the Totem Temple.

She valued tranquility, for the Totem Temple was designed to be the quietest of places.

“Divine Dew cannot be taken out of the Heavenly Palace. If there’s even a faint trace of its energy fluctuation, I will catch them!” Qin Ji said.

…

The Tower of Ten Thousand Floors is the most intricate area of the Totem Temple, its residents ranging from high-ranking Believer Women and Immortal Masters to Female Imperial Guards, as well as those of lower rank handling various miscellaneous tasks.

The Tower truly lives up to its name; buildings stack atop one another, towering high, while wooden corridors and stone bridges connect in all directions. Courtyards intersect with pavilion roads, mingling with halls and palaces, forming a labyrinth in which it’s easy to lose one’s way without guidance.

The constant stream of Heavenly Palace members traversing the Tower is equally complex, with even numerous individuals from Sky City frequently appearing to run errands for higher-ranking Believer Women and Immortal Masters. Members of the Roulette Temple and Watcher Temple also find opportunities to enter and exit the Tower, drawn by their desire for the alluring women within.

The Tower likewise has prohibitions in place, yet there are over thirty entrances, making unauthorized entry a possibility.

After Qin Ji issued his orders, the Tower’s thirty-plus entrances were immediately sealed off by Female Imperial Guards. Tension filled the Tower as individuals illegally present began displaying unease and panic; many bore striking resemblances to thieves…

Mrs. He was well aware of the Tower’s complexity. Concerned the lockdown might infringe on the privacy of mid-level Believer Women and Immortal Masters, she hesitated to support such drastic measures.

Nonetheless, failing to retrieve the Divine Dew would constitute a far greater offense.

…

In a secluded hall within the Tower, Chu Mu stood in the shadow cast by a lamp, carefully restraining his aura.

The tactic of using the Little Sting Dragon to divert Qin Ji’s attention had been perilous; had Qin Ji managed to seal the space in time, Chu Mu wouldn’t have been able to use the summoning spell to retrieve the Little Sting Dragon into his Soul Pet Space.

Fortunately, Qin Ji hadn’t reacted swiftly enough upon seeing the Little Sting Dragon, enabling Chu Mu to escape from the heavily guarded Goddess Building.

“Have you successfully advanced?” Chu Mu asked through Mental Sound.

“No,” Yu Suo replied.

“Where do we flee next?” Chu Mu inquired.

“Head toward the east section of the Tower. There’s a Forbidden Hall there—hide inside it, but be extremely cautious not to disturb the creature residing within!” Yu Suo instructed.

Following Yu Suo’s guidance, Chu Mu began moving stealthily eastward.

“Do you feel a surge of energy within yourself?” Yu Suo’s voice emerged again.

Focused on his escape, Chu Mu hadn’t noticed his own condition. Upon probing his body with Soul Sense, he discovered a pure energy lingering within him, uncertain where to go.

“It’s Divine Dew’s energy, which I can’t absorb. It contains vast growth potential. Didn’t your Little Dream of Oblivion recently reincarnate? Use this growth energy on it—it’ll awaken quickly.” Yu Suo said.

Chu Mu’s eyes brightened, and his dissatisfaction diminished somewhat.

Dream of Oblivion had depleted most of its life during combat and had remained in slumber within Chu Mu’s Soul Pet Space, leaving Chu Mu unsure how to rouse it.

Unexpectedly, Divine Dew possessed such a miraculous ability. If it could awaken Dream of Oblivion, Chu Mu’s strength would see another significant boost—after all, Dream of Oblivion’s power had been near High-Level Immortal during its last awakening; this time, enhanced by Divine Dew’s refinement, it might become even stronger!
