In the System shop Qwen purchased a dungeon core guide. He had the ability to move the dungeon as its owner. Dungeon were made of mana as well as spirit energy. That was the reason they were able to cultivate inside of the dungeon.
Elder had informed him that he could put the dungeon inside of the tower since it was made of literally it's own dimension on the inside. Elders powers in his prime were beyond Qwens comprehension. Although he wouldn't tell that smug ass ghost that. He was already much too full of himself.
Elder also, didn't tell Qwen that he was bound by blood to do all of his bidding. The ghost wanted to keep his pride somehow. The system never told Elder that he HAD to tell Qwen that.
Either way he was bound to Qwens strength. He saw a way for his return but Qwen had to be strong enough. It may take countless number of years but so long as he could keep this infant cultivator alive, he would have a chance.
Qwen were on the plane back with his large entourage. They were all chatting and acting like they were on a field trip. The 22 system users he had taken from Jimmy were all age groups and races. It was actually amazing luck for Qwen.
He had obtained far more than he intended. His only question to himself was, how much power does he allow? He knew this massive power boost he have can't be normal for a newly integrated planet. It's just is unheard of. Qwen couldn't find such a thing in any known records.
No tutorial, or especially no pre tutorial. Now hes obtained all these amazing skills and even cultivation was being unlocked on the planet. Human have never been able to access this hidden power. There was no known way for a man or woman to harness this power until now.
Mana was from the system but spirit energy is natural on planet earth also formed over billions of years. The System has digitized cultivation on earth.
"Was...was humanity that weak initially?"
"What'd you say?" Tomi asked.
"Oh nothing just thinking."
"So where are we headed?"
Ryu demeanor was more serious. The big man had a presence. It was like he was always ready to jump into action at a moments notice. His big smile disappeared after his close friend's death and he was more stern.
"You'll see soon don't worry!
Qwen was currently piloting a chopper he had purchased before he arrived back home back from Japan. Ryu just nodded and sat back and waited.
The twist were finally back to their same talkative selves. They stared out the window and 'ohh and ahh'd ' at all of the scenery they passed.
They flew for hours until they reached a desert. The Mohave Desert to be exact. After passing by seemingly the 10,000 sand dunes the began to com upon mountain ranges. He finally began to decend. He brought the chopper to halt insidneof a valley surrounded by mountains on all sides.
This part of the desert is between the U.S. and Mexican border. It housed the desert but also mountains and forest with the damp cooler air in the higher the elevations.
The crew stepped out of the chopper.
"He uh bods why do you have us in the middle of nowhere? Boss is giving a way serial killer vibes guys."
Lisa trased with a smile. The rest of the group laughed. They all loved Lisa's sense of humor.
"I'll have the last laugh. Follow me."
Qwen walked into the valley. He took the necklace off of his neck and tossed it in front of them.
The pendant looking tower flew through the air then expanded. It grew and grew until it was the size of a skyscraper before positioning itself and slammed into the group.
"Ahhhhh!"
The group all fall to their knees screaming and then darkness followed.
"That basterd really did kill us!" Lisa screamed.
Suddenly a right light shined over a massive courtyard. When the light dimmed the group gasped at the scenery. The exotic plants were everywhere.
"Ah hahahaha! You should have seen your faces. I bet you nearly pissed yourselves! Ah hahaha!"
"This is my Ancient Pagoda Cultivation Tower. This is the reason I brought you all here. You four will be the main leaders of my clan. The generals. As the generals of my clan you will need to be the strongest. You will train here for the next two weeks. We have 15 days before the dungeon breaks start. We want to contain and control those dungeons oursleves. You will have a weeks head start. I'll soon be bringing in competition so you all better not slack off."
Qwen waved his hand to the side of him.
Elder froze when his eyes landed on the twins.
Elder held out his hand and Qwen took out the large glowing orb and handed it to Elder. Once the dungeon core touched Elder the core disappeared.
The Tower began to rumble and shake. The group all began to worry but Qwen stayed calm. He knew it was the Tower expanding. When the shaking stopped their background began to change.
The red and gold building behind the courtyard began to shine. The old gate transformed into a massive wall. The ground looked from the building was lined with real green jade.
The contrasting building was now a palace surrounded by multiple other palaces sitting on nearby mountains. Each palace glowed with strange exquisite and complex designs.
There was a blue palce for pill making and alchemy. A purple spirit weapons and armor forging shop. A dark green palace for spirit beast taming. A black combat training and barrack palace. Orange palace housed a workshop that housed vehicles and ships powered by spirit crystals. The golden palaces were cultivation chambers. There various lighter colored smaller palaces to live inside of.
When you all exit, you will have advanced multiple levels in a very short about of time outside. This will last for 2 years in actuality in the cultivation chamber. You may not die but, you man all develop mental side effects. Do all still to proceed?>
He paused to let them know the gravity of his words. He held out his ghastly hands and held 4 thin vials that you would see in science lab class.
The group looked at each other for long minutes. They turned to Elder and nodded. The resolved themselves for whatever came. One by one they each grabbed a vial and headed towards the golden cultivation chambers.
None of the palaces were small and could house hundreds of thousands of people. It's just the main palace looked like like it could house millions.
Elder floated close to Qwen as they both watched the group go inside of the golden palace.
"I don't care what they all have to endure. I need their strength in the end. That's all. This is the end of the world. Only strength matters or we will all be crushed under fates boots. History always crushes the weak."
Elder walked with Qwen into he red and gold palace.
Inside was a luxurious setting. It actually was a large city! It looked to be the size of a small country. Building in the design of ancient china, modern looking skyscrapers, even futuristic designs that defied logic.
Cultivatiors eventually became genius leveled after a while no matter what. Some sooner than others. Of course there are still some who are much more talented mentally and were universe level geniuses.
We was led an hour into the city. They stopped in front of a massive pyramid made of strange stones. Qwen qwaked at the building that slightly floated off of the ground.
Elder put his hands on his hips expecting praise.
"What's a tribulation?"
Elders face fell. Then frowned in anger.
Before Qwen could react an invisible force smacked into Qwens back sending him flying into the building.
Once he flew through the strange metal doors they slammed shut. Above the doors a timer started. It read 3 years.
Don't try to contact me for a while. I have to begin to absorb the spirit energy that I have already absorbed. It will take a while.>
After listening to Elder Qwen turned his attention to the large pool of glowing silver liquid. It was a large pool of the liquid had give the rest off the group.
"Concentrated pure mana."
Qwen could feel his 'sage body's constitution already beginning to convert the powerful spirit energy into his pores. Just being near this stuff is enhancing him. What going to happen once he got inside of the pool?
Qwen shuddered subconsciously before standing in front of the pool.
