Chapter 812 - 505: End of the Holy Tower Ceremony, Skip
In the latter half hour, Wang Zhifan implemented targeted plans for those entering the Sacred Tower according to his original strategy to achieve his promotional goals.
Simply put, most individuals with ordinary abilities could only gain minimal rewards inside the Sacred Tower, but they would witness unattainable treasures, which made them yearn to return after leaving, realizing that they couldn’t enter a second time and could only look forward to the next opportunity when the Sacred Tower descended.
A small number of people who received special attention from Wang Zhifan, such as his followers, those with extraordinary abilities, or those with special backgrounds, were given certain privileges. With appropriate effort, they could take something valuable back, naturally becoming ambassadors for promoting the Sacred Tower.
These processes weren’t too complex since the Sacred Tower could set up mechanisms, but they were time-consuming.
Especially when Wang Zhifan observed that after the first few groups of people exited and flaunted their gains, more individuals wanted to enter the Sacred Tower.
This forced him to close the entry mechanism of the Sacred Tower ahead of schedule, leaving the latest hopeful entrants outside.
As for himself, he had to put on a complete act.
As agreed, after Wu Xun and Yang Qingqing exited the tower, he quickly entered the Black Tower in front of them.
However, before exiting the tower, he told them about the recent invasion of the Demon Sect Flying Ship so they wouldn’t be unaware of the current situation.
Afterward, he continued to allow a few batches of people into the tower, and when the timing seemed right, he decisively stopped the permissions for entering the Black Tower.
At this point, people outside could no longer enter the tower, and those inside faced increased trial pressure, indirectly speeding up their exit.
At this moment, with Wang Zhifan inside the tower, hundreds and thousands had already exited, and even more people who were too hesitant or arrived too late to enter the tower, resulted in a bustling atmosphere.
"Let me tell you, inside the Sacred Tower is another world! You gain a reward each time you pass a trial inside, it’s simply miraculous! Truly a place controlled by immortals!"
"Besides, any injuries you sustain inside are not a problem; there’s an Immortal Elixir that restores all injuries at the end! I only used half of my elixir, leaving the other half on purpose; I reckon I could sell it for a good price..."
"Hahaha! The Sacred Tower gave me a peerless sword, making me invincible in the martial world!"
"Brother, how exactly do you get into the tower? Why do I get blocked out of nowhere when I try to jump up?"
"You must be new here, right? The Celestial Venerable Sect has announced that the Sacred Tower ceremony is about to end, and now only exits are allowed, not entries! You’ll have to wait for the next descent of the Sacred Tower!"
"There will be another chance?"
"Of course! The Sect Leader of the Celestial Venerable Sect said so, and she is the messenger of the Celestial Venerable in the mortal realm!"
"What do you mean, ’elderly’? That Sect Leader is clearly just a young girl..."
"Hehe... That’s what you don’t understand, right? Just because the Sect Leader looks like a young girl doesn’t mean she’s actually young, she might be a generation older than your grandma!"
"Ah? I see... Thank you for enlightening me!"
"Auction! Auction! I obtained a shocking treasure from the Sacred Tower! Only for a hundred taels, and you can take it home! Don’t miss out as you pass by!"
...
Amidst the clamor and noise, many who had just exited the tower exaggeratedly recounted their trial experiences in the Sacred Tower, flaunting their "peerless treasures" in front of others who hadn’t entered, making quite a splash.
This made those who hesitated to enter the Sacred Tower due to the perceived risks or those who arrived too late and missed the chance secretly resolve to be the first to participate in the next Sacred Tower ceremony.
This mindset was not much related to how many treasures they actually acquired inside, as most entrants didn’t receive particularly impressive rewards. Instead, the incredibly magical stories of the world inside the tower stirred a strong curiosity among the locals with limited entertainment options.
Of course, there were some who did receive notable rewards, but these individuals were not ordinary citizens. They rarely shared their gains openly, choosing instead to prepare well for the next opportunity, intending to bring along family members and friends.
The dashing young man who had previously entered the Black Tower alone was one of them.
In the early stages of the Black Tower trials, he followed the most ordinary path, climbing steep hills and fighting wild wolves, earning ordinary rewards.
The rewards were quite typical, but the Sacred Tower’s varied environments and trial content intrigued him greatly, and he gradually became fascinated.
It wasn’t until he reached the seventh level relying on his outstanding personal skills that Wang Zhifan noticed him among thousands of tower climbers, manually setting him free from the tedious ordinary trial difficulty, directly arranging for him to face an Otherworld Blood Race Viscount as an opponent.
In that battle, the young man felt unprecedented pressure, almost believing his life would end in the tower.
On one hand, the Blood Race Viscount’s strength was nearly on par with his own, so he could no longer rely on his personal strength to dominate.
On the other hand, he had never encountered a being like the Blood Race from another world and didn’t know their characteristics and weaknesses, leaving him struggling and overwhelmed in the early stages of the battle.
Not until the end did he finally understand the basic tactics of his opponent, but by then, he had been gravely injured and lost significant blood to the Blood Race Viscount, making defeat inevitable beyond recovery.
