Investment Return System, Start by taking Demon Empress as a Disciple

Chapter 124: Tower of Enlightenment; Take the whole thing

Second Elder's confusion didn't escape Li Yourong's notice. It only further fueled her anger.

"She's delusional if she thinks she can become Empress. I'll make sure to find an opportunity to give her a good lesson. Let her understand whether she truly deserves that Empress title!"

Li Yourong was quite angry. She had heard about someone declaring themselves Empress in the Northern Domain as soon as they arrived in the Eastern Domain, and she was very displeased.

If anyone should be an Empress, it should be her senior sister! Who were these random people daring to declare themselves Empress in the Northern Domain while she and her senior sister were away!

"Though I may not understand fully, as long as you're happy…"

Second Elder fell silent for a moment, ultimately considering it a competition between the two disciples of the same sect.

Competition led to improvement, so it was probably some goal or task set by that senior Chen. Or perhaps it was a trial between the two? Whatever the senior's intentions were, he couldn't fathom them and dared not get involved. Let them create their own commotion!

"After you finish eating, go call on Fairy Leng. Today, I received news that the Tower of Enlightenment in our Eastern Domain will open in less than half a month. At that time, the three of you can participate together with Shenruo. There will be abundant opportunities, and there's even a rumored reward of obtaining an Immortal treasure!

"Heh heh, but this Immortal treasure is just a legend. The best reward that can be taken out now is a top-grade Heaven Rank treasure. With the aptitudes of you three, especially Fairy Leng's strength, obtaining a Heaven Rank treasure should be a piece of cake. Who knows, you might even get a top-grade Heaven Rank treasure!"

After Li Yourong had finished most of her meal, Second Elder divulged the second piece of news he had received today.

Similar to the Northern Domain's secret realm, the Tower of Enlightenment in the Eastern Domain could be considered one of the grand opportunities in the Eastern Domain.

However, the Tower of Enlightenment had shorter intervals between openings compared to the Scarlet Cloud Secret Realm, opening once every thirty-three years.

The requirements for participation were limited to those at the Unity realm, and the age not exceeding fifty.

"Hmm? Are there many treasures inside?"

Upon hearing about the opportunity, Li Yourong immediately remembered her senior sister's words. The principle of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion was to manage resources prudently. Opportunities like this couldn't be missed.

Even if the treasures weren't useful to her, bringing them back for her master would earn her praises! With this thought, a pure and clear light shone in her eyes, making them even more radiant!

"Naturally, there are quite a number of treasures, otherwise it wouldn't attract talents from all over every time it opens. I've heard that even the Western Domain's demon clan sent their exceptional geniuses to participate this time. One can imagine how enticing it is."

Second Elder chuckled, intending to continue impressing Li Yourong with his knowledge, only to find she had vanished.

After receiving her answer, Li Yourong had darted off towards the training chamber like a gust of wind.

"The Tower of Enlightenment, full of treasures… hehehe! I have to figure out a way to move the Tower of Enlightenment to the Heavenly Dao Pavilion. Master will surely be delighted!" Li Yourong jogged along, her steps lighter as she imagined her master's praises upon returning to the mountain.

Coincidentally passing by the Great Elder at this moment, he couldn't even greet her properly before hearing her muttering to herself.

"Move the Tower of Enlightenment!?"

Great Elder's eyelid twitched wildly, sensing an ominous premonition.

Due to this momentary distraction, he didn't even have a chance to greet Li Yourong before watching her head off towards the training chamber.

Before the Training Chamber

"Senior Sister, hold off on practicing for now. We've got a big opportunity! Second Elder said that the Tower of Enlightenment in the Eastern Domain will open in a few days, and it's filled with treasures! Let's figure out a way to move the tower back!"

With two energetic knocks on the stone door, Li Yourong excitedly shouted.

Soon after, Leng Yanran opened the door and stepped out.

"Senior Sister, Senior Sister, there's a big event! Let's go quickly, move the Tower of Enlightenment in advance! Don't let others have a go at it, those treasures inside belong to our Heavenly Dao Pavilion. If they take them during the trial, it won't be good!"

As soon as she saw her senior sister, Li Yourong pulled her along with great enthusiasm, while her senior sister appeared slightly bewildered.

"Do… you know the way?"

After being led a few steps, Leng Yanran looked at her junior sister's excited expression and asked somewhat uncertainly.

Knowing Li Yourong's tendencies, even within the Holy Mountain, she couldn't find her way back. Could she really recognize the location of the Tower of Enlightenment?

"Uh… I don't."

Li Yourong's steps halted, only then realizing she had no idea which direction the Tower of Enlightenment was.

"Let's go ask the elders for a map!"

However, this didn't faze her. She pulled Leng Yanran along and headed straight back to the side hall where they had just finished eating, blocking Second Elder, who was tidying up the dishes and utensils.

"Elder, give Yourong the map of the Tower of Enlightenment. Yourong and her senior sister want to move it in advance to avoid the treasures inside going to waste."

Li Yourong looked earnestly at Second Elder, reaching out her hand to request the map.

Upon hearing this, Second Elder stood there dumbfounded for a moment before coming back to his senses.

"Move, move it? It can't be moved. The Tower of Enlightenment has stood unshakable in our Eastern Domain for tens of thousands of years. If it could be moved, the major powers in the Central Region would have taken it long ago.

"Stay calm, stay calm. Rest for today. Tomorrow morning, I and Great Elder will personally take you to the Tower of Enlightenment. Fairy Leng, please wait one more day."

Second Elder's mouth twitched, then he explained to the two.

Others might venture into the Tower of Enlightenment for opportunities at best, but Li Yourong treated the tower as her own opportunity!

The Tower of Enlightenment had existed for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years. It was a trial ground left behind by true immortals. Unless an immortal personally came, who could move it?

Even the Holy Lands in the Central Region wouldn't be able to do it.

As for the terrifying master behind the two of them, although Second Elder believed in his profound strength, he couldn't possibly be a true immortal, right?

"Yourong, since Elder says so, we'll go together tomorrow."

Naturally, Leng Yanran wouldn't act as recklessly as her junior sister. After addressing Second Elder, she turned and left, intending to use the remaining day to cultivate for the night.

"Senior Sister, there's less than a day left. Instead of going into seclusion, how about helping Yourong?"

Seeing her senior sister's response, Li Yourong ceased her haste and instead mischievously grabbed onto her senior sister. They then turned and headed towards the back mountain.

Leng Yanran could only follow behind her junior sister, her curiosity piqued as well. What exactly were they going to do?

Upon arriving at the back mountain, Leng Yanran fell into silence.

"These mounds of earth and these tombstones… are they the resting places of Holy Mountain's predecessors?"

Looking at the hundreds of small mounds before her, Leng Yanran's expression grew solemn.

"Huh? It's not that. These are all Yourong's good friends! Yourong hasn't learned how to perform the ritual of purification yet. Since we're going to move the Tower of Enlightenment this time, we should do this before we leave. I'm asking Senior Sister to help purify Yourong's good friends and transcend them!"
