Chapter 67: The Star Tower Ends, Seven-Colored Cloud Carp
Su Yu and his group returned to the Spirit Boat. Ye Lin watched as they came back.
"So, how was it? You've finally had a chance to experience this Star Tower, haven't you?"
"It's a pity that this Young Miss didn't make it to the fourth level. All three of you made it to the fourth level; how neat and tidy."
"Alright, now we just wait for Han Shi to come out. He's still inside. He should be able to clear a few more levels; after all, he has a Legacy and his strength isn't bad."
Just then, Han Shi emerged from the Star Tower, though he hadn't reached a particularly high level either.
Seeing her father walking over, Han Ting asked impatiently:
"Dad, which level did you climb to?"
"Me? I did alright, I managed to climb to the sixth level. For me, that's satisfying enough."
"Right, which level did you few climb to?"
"The three of us all reached the fourth level."
"Alright, the Star Tower run is over. Let's use the remaining time to Cultivate properly. After all, this Star Tower has the effect of increasing Cultivation speed and Comprehension Ability."
Everyone took this Opportunity to begin to Cultivate.
Time passed quickly. People were constantly entering and exiting the Star Tower. Many who had heard the news and gone to great lengths to reach the Star Tower arrived one after another, but they were basically just ordinary people going through the motions.
Most people held onto the hope of obtaining an Opportunity from the Star Tower, but reality was often disappointing.
During this time, a few people who could elicit gasps of surprise appeared, reaching the seventh level. One of them was even a Loose Cultivator, causing quite a sensation.
However, in the end, no one could touch the threshold of the ninth level of the Star Tower. After finishing their run, everyone basically stayed nearby to Cultivate, as such opportunities were rare.
Yet, there were still many people arguing over territory.
After all, they were not Disciples of major Sects and lacked the favorable conditions that a Sect could provide.
Su Yu watched the crowd fighting below. Some had already started forming Gangs; those with weaker strength gathered together, ready to help each other whenever someone got into trouble.
Those with strong strength didn't need to worry about such things; they could just sit there, and no one would come to bother them.
If you were too weak, well, that was just too bad. If you didn't have a background or help from these organized Gangs, then you were out of luck.
"No seat!"
Cultivating next to the Star Tower didn't bring him any significant benefits, let alone the effect of improving Comprehension Ability.
For him, this was the last thing he needed; proficiency was far more useful than Comprehension Ability.
Still, he remained on the Spirit Boat to Cultivate. After all, he was just a Passerby, occasionally watching the situation below like a bystander eating melon seeds.
On this day, the Star Tower closed its entrance, and everyone realized that it was probably about to disappear.
The ground began to tremble, and everyone was drawn to the strange phenomenon of the Star Tower.
The people at the base were very reluctant to leave. Couldn't the Star Tower stay for a few more days? They hadn't finished Cultivating yet. With it about to disappear, some of them still couldn't process it.
"No! Star Tower, don't go! How will I live without you?"
After a month of Cultivating, most people were quite satisfied with their gains over the past month.
Su Yu watched as the Star Tower slowly rose into the sky, spinning, before turning into a beam of light and vanishing before everyone's eyes.
Watching the Star Tower disappear, this journey to the Star Tower had truly come to an end.
Everyone gradually departed. The Spirit Boats of the various major Sects also left one after another, and the Star Tower incident came to a close.
On the Profound Heaven Sect's Spirit Boat, Su Yu observed Han Ting's aura of Cultivation, which had improved quite a bit; the same was true for Ye Lin and the others.
Although they hadn't reached a Breakthrough in their current cultivation level, it had stabilized significantly, and their understanding of their Cultivation Technique had also improved.
Su Yu looked at everyone and said, "Everyone has had some gains from this Star Tower trip, more or less."
"Indeed, this Star Tower can be considered a blessing for many Cultivators; everyone has been able to gain some benefits from this Star Tower experience, more or less."
"It's a pity. I wonder when this Star Tower will appear again. I really wanted to clear one more level."
"Hmph, if this Young Miss gets another chance, I will definitely surpass Dad's level."
Su Yu looked at Han Ting's expression. "Why can't you surpass your Uncle Ye Lin?"
"Isn't he too powerful? Let's just focus on surpassing Dad first."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled.
The Spirit Boat quickly sailed back to the Profound Heaven Sect. This Star Tower event made many people famous, and even some previously unknown people shot to fame because of it.
Upon returning to the Profound Heaven Sect, everyone returned to their own lives.
Su Yu continued his peaceful daily life as usual, while Ye Lin left the Sect early; he couldn't stay still in the Sect.
Su Yu looked at the pond in his small courtyard and noticed a few ornamental fish were missing; this wouldn't do, he had to find a couple more.
As for what kind of fish were in the lake next to his house, he knew very well that they weren't suitable for ornamental purposes.
They were just right for making grilled fish and things like that.
Su Yu disappeared from his home, and after searching, he discovered a huge lake on a remote mountain peak.
Looking at the lake before him, the surrounding scenery was truly beautiful; perhaps this lake had the fish he wanted.
As long as they looked good, he didn't care about anything else.
Su Yu wasn't in a hurry to use his Divine Sense to search. In such a good place, it would be a waste not to cast a line.
Su Yu began fishing by the lake, but after waiting for a long time and only hooking a turtle, he was a bit broken.
He had fished for ages only to pull up a turtle, but fortunately, things improved later on, and he caught quite a few fish.
Looking at the fish beside him, he certainly hadn't chosen the wrong place; the fish here were truly different.
Just as Su Yu was preparing to pack up his rod and leave, he noticed something amiss.
Thinking of something, Su Yu waved his hand, and a seven-colored carp appeared in his hand.
This was truly an unexpected harvest; it was actually a Seven-Colored Cloud Carp.
This Seven-Colored Cloud Carp was a rather rare creature. If it were just that, it wouldn't have caught Su Yu's attention, but this Seven-Colored Cloud Carp seemed to have a faint aura of the Dragon Clan in its Bloodline.
After all, he had felt the aura of a True Dragon before. Although this Seven-Colored Cloud Carp only had a tiny bit of that aura, it didn't matter; it would be perfect to keep in the pond in his courtyard.
He hadn't expected such an unexpected harvest this time.
Su Yu returned home and placed the Seven-Colored Cloud Carp into the pond.
Looking at the fish in the pond, that was more like it. Su Yu also noticed the sword nurturing grass by the pond; he wondered how long it would take to turn into a Sword Nurturing Pool.
Forget it, never mind. Just as Su Yu was lying down relaxing.
"Brother Jiang Cheng, it looks like you've recovered quite a bit; your body has improved as well."
"It's just that there's been some danger in the village recently. I don't know what kind of monster has appeared, but every now and then, people in our village go missing."
