Chapter 229: Chapter 197: Exploring the Higher Floors of the Tower of Trial_2

"Is there a way to crack it?"

"This level’s challenge strikes directly at the soul, ordinary methods can’t defend against it," Rosen said helplessly.

In fact, he didn’t want to defend against it at all; he even wanted to enter it again after the first time.

It’s just that his body felt a bit drained.

"The seventh level can awaken the strongest desires within a person. Its difficulty lies in the fact that the greatest desire is often unfulfillable. But it’s also easy to crack; just fulfill that desire in reality, and then, before a new desire forms, the seventh level won’t generate illusions again."

What Meng Die said made a lot of sense. It’s actually using the method of eliminating the greatest desire so that it can’t be exploited by the Tower of Trial.

But the problem is, what if this desire is hard to resolve in reality?

Seeing Rosen looking embarrassed, Meng Die asked, "So what did you see in the illusion?"

Rosen glanced at Tang Xichen and found she wasn’t paying attention to him, so he whispered to Meng Die, "I saw Tang Xichen walking toward me, her veils falling piece by piece."

"Ah, what???"

Meng Die gave Rosen an odd look.

"Why are you looking at me like that, like I’m some kind of perverted old man," Rosen said.

"I can only say your desire is quite low-level. I thought your greatest desire was to become the head of a great family," Meng Die shook her head and said.

Then she added, "Back when setting this level, our master, the Profound Celestial Great God, entered it personally. Guess what happened."

"What happened? Did our master become weak?"

"No, he just left the seventh level smiling and said one thing."

"What did he say?" Rosen asked.

Meng Die said mysteriously, "He said, ’I’m right to design this level; if it can’t be achieved in reality, then let it be fulfilled in the illusion.’"

After saying this, Meng Die fell into confusion and said, "To this day, I don’t understand what master meant by this, since someone of his abilities, is there anything he can’t achieve?"

Rosen pondered over this statement, and suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"I get it!"

"You get it? Get what? To this day, I still don’t understand master’s words, what do you understand?" Meng Die gave a disdainful look.

"You’ll see when the time comes."

Rosen said, then transported himself to the seventh level of the Tower of Trial.

"So that’s how it is, that’s the master’s intention for setting up the seventh level!"

A smile appeared on Rosen’s face.

He then completely stopped resisting the seductive power of the seventh level, fully immersing and adapting himself to it.

How can one transcend worldly desires without experiencing them?

Perhaps that’s the reasoning.

After numerous experiences of worldly trials, Rosen had completely entered a sage mode.

Even if someone tried to confuse him with illusions in the future, he could quickly discern and break the illusion.

"So the master’s reason for setting up this seventh level was actually to make me indulge, and then remove all shackles in indulgence, moving from indulging in the world to transcending it, achieving inner completeness and no longer being controlled by illusions."

The seventh level’s reward was a hundred hero resurrection scrolls, not upgrade scrolls; thus, Rosen simply stored them in his inventory.

"Next is the eighth level. Since the seventh is illusion confounding, what kind of test will the eighth level present?"

Before him, waves of light shattered like a mirror, and a brand-new scene emerged.

What he saw was growth - a giant eye covering the entire sky!

Instantly, an incredibly terrifying sense of oppression crushed down.

In a mere moment, Rosen was crushed into a puddle of blood by this oppressive force!

"How terrifying! It’s just too terrifying!"

When Rosen was transported out of the Tower of Trial again, he was drenched in cold sweat.

"What happened? Look at how scared you are," Meng Die asked again.

"I got through the seventh level. The intention master set for the seventh level was to make me experience the world, see through it, and thus no longer fall for illusions," Rosen said.

"I see, I didn’t realize that was master’s intention," Meng Die realized and then asked, "In that case, did you get through the eighth level?"

"No, it’s very tough because I didn’t even have time to see the opponent’s full appearance; all I saw was a giant eye, and its pressure crushed me into blood!"

Rosen’s words were easy to understand, Meng Die’s expression changed, and she said, "It seems the eighth level tests force!"

"Force? What’s that?"

"It’s a state of mastery, for example, someone who uses a knife, after years of wielding it, will grow calluses and reach a point where they become skillful through experience. Going a step further, they’ll reach the pinnacle of knife skill, and beyond that is understanding the force of the knife."

"I understand, so it’s a very powerful realm?"

"Exactly, the giant eye you saw should be the opponent’s force, and this force is related to eyes."

"A force related to eyes?" Rosen’s eyes lit up, "Then can I use Yang Jian’s third eye to resist the force of that eye, is there any hope?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Die said, "That depends on how strong Yang Jian’s third eye becomes after evolution and whether it can resist the opposing force."

"Alright, I’ll give it a try!"

Rosen transported himself to the eighth level of the Tower of Trial again.

As soon as he entered, the colossal eye in the sky exerted its oppressive force!

Rosen immediately felt his body being pressed, soon to be crushed into blood.

"Third eye!"

Decisively, Rosen opened the third eye on his forehead, and a powerful laser shot out from it, striking the giant eye in the sky.

That eye couldn’t open, and it pressed shut tightly.

At that moment, the force field created by the eye dissipated, and Rosen saw the true nature of the eighth level.

What he saw was a farmhouse, and an Angry-eyed Chicken was clucking and flying around madly.

"What, so the one who cast that eye’s force domain on me was this Angry-eyed Chicken?!"

Rosen was at a loss for words, not expecting to be defeated by a small animal.

What Rosen didn’t know was that this Angry-eyed Chicken had been through lengthy training to hone its cross-eyed force.

Initially, it formed its cross-eyed vision by pecking for grains on the ground, and as it continued to peck, the cross-eyed vision advanced to a pinnacle level. Eventually, having eaten too much grain, the droppings on the ground became dense, forcing the Angry-eyed Chicken to elevate the cross-eyed vision into a force level to avoid eating its own droppings, allowing it to create an incredibly terrifying crushing power with just a glare.

"Amazing, I didn’t expect the eighth level’s reward to be this Angry-eyed Chicken, with a cross-eyed force, whoever it stares at dies!"

"But it’s probably only suited to deal with those Karami of the Chaos Faction, against Oda Nobunaga, maybe not."

Suddenly, the voice of the Profound Celestial Great God echoed in the sky, "This Angry-eyed Chicken was sought out by me in Miaojiang and cultivated over tens of thousands of chaotic seasons in a temporal rift, and has attained the cross-eyed force. It can find a grain of rice among a pile of dense droppings, but that’s not the point. The point is that it’s very powerful, and when its cross-eye appears, most of the Chaos Faction dare not open their eyes; our campaign has gained momentum."

"Then I must thank you," Rosen said.

He then stored the Angry-eyed Chicken away and started advancing to the ninth level of the Tower of Trial.

"The eighth level killed me in an instant, the ninth level must be similar, each subsequent level is harder!"

As soon as Rosen entered the ninth level, he was instantly transported back out.

"How did it go, did you pass the eighth level?" Meng Die asked again.

"I passed the eighth, but the ninth level?"

"What’s wrong with the ninth level, is there something dangerous inside?"

"I don’t know!"

"You don’t know, so you didn’t enter the ninth level?"

"I did, but before I could react, I was dead in an instant."

"Are you saying you didn’t even see what the ninth level was like before you died?"

"Right, everything went black, and I was out, like a dungeon bug, could there be a glitch in the ninth level?" Rosen wondered.

"Impossible, the Tower of Trial set by the master won’t have any glitches," Meng Die shook her head.

Then a thought struck her, "Perhaps the ninth level is filled with a powerful lethal light, killing you instantly upon entry, leaving nothing left."

"A lethal light? But everything just went black for me, and I was back."

"Went black? Could it be filled with dark energy, instantly killing you?"

"Possible, but how do I resist dark energy?"
