In the morning, the group continued their journey. The absence of the Yangshe family felt like a huge weight had been lifted from the Murong family's shoulders, leaving them feeling incredibly relieved.
However, several members of the Yangshe family had escaped, so it was best to eliminate them at the exit before leaving.
Qin Chuan didn't have much of a reaction to the idea of eradicating the root of the problem; for example, he didn't condone the idea of not harming family members.
Of course, Qin Chuan knew that such sentimentality was unacceptable, but he still couldn't bring himself to kill women and children.
However, killing the few escaped Yangshe family experts in the Tower of Babel was acceptable; after all, things had progressed to this point, and letting them go would be troublesome for the Murong family,
especially since there was a War God Realm expert among them.
As for how to deal with the Yangshe family outside, Qin Chuan wouldn't concern himself with that. That's how the world is; no one can pity anyone else.
If you pity someone today, you might not deserve pity tomorrow when you die, and no one will pity you, because those who are pitiful often have something hateful about them.
As for innocence, no one is truly innocent. Even those seemingly innocent people from the Yangshe family, you have to consider where everything you enjoy and possess comes from. If you enjoy what you shouldn't, you will lose what you shouldn't lose. The world is fair.
Qin Chuan wasn't too worried about what came next. He could now simply wait to leave and continue investigating the location of the Nine Heavens Mystic Goddess Palace.
He had to give up the Treasure Dragon Beast opportunity. A War God Realm treasure beast like the Treasure Dragon Beast was too terrifying; he couldn't withstand it. If he were attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Besides that, there was another opportunity—a great opportunity from the Tower of Babel, far more powerful than the one that increased his cultivation level by a minor realm.
The Tower of Babel's Heavenly Platform.
This was the greatest known opportunity in the Tower of Babel, but its location was uncertain, and it was unknown whether it would even appear.
The Heavenly Platform was a type of inheritance treasure opportunity. This opportunity depended on your comprehension and luck; you might gain nothing, or you might only obtain a useless cultivation technique.
Those with good luck can even ascend to the heavens in one step, changing their destiny and rising rapidly in rank. Therefore, this is the greatest opportunity,
and the experts from the Murong and Yangshe families are all aiming for it. The location and time of the Tongtian Platform's appearance are not fixed; they are random. However, the Murong and Yangshe families, relying on a considerable amount of information and records left behind by their families, have found certain patterns, allowing them to narrow down the search area.
So now, it keeps appearing at these few locations. However, the appearance of the Tongtian Platform also brings danger, as there are guardian warriors protecting it.
Therefore, they dare not scatter their people across these locations; they can only concentrate in one place. The best method would be to leave two people at each location to immediately notify everyone upon its appearance. However, because there are many locations and the personnel are too scattered, it could easily lead to major problems.
Moreover, several members of the Yangshe family have escaped, including two War God Realm experts.
They cannot be careless.
Qin Chuan left a treasure beast at each location, but because there are many locations, a few treasure beasts are not enough. However, leaving some helps to narrow down the search area.
Qin Chuan did not hide anything but told City Lord Murong that they only needed to search the remaining locations.
Knowing that Qin Chuan had left behind several demonic beasts, City Lord Murong hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something. At this moment, Qin Chuan smiled and said, "City Lord, don't worry, my demonic beasts are skilled in stealth and reconnaissance."
City Lord Murong nodded thoughtfully with a smile, "That's great, this way we can save a lot of time. Good thing, young brother, you've helped my Murong family too much."
What followed was a pointless search, riding his flying beasts around several locations, not knowing when they would appear.
Time in the Tower of Babel was limited, but searching without rest wasn't a long-term solution.
However, Qin Chuan soon realized things weren't as he thought.
Three days!
The first three days, the first three days before entering the Tower of Babel. If the Tower of Babel appeared during these three days, it would appear; if not, then this opportunity wouldn't exist.
The opportunity at the Tower of Babel was also a matter of fate; whether it appeared or not depended on destiny, making it very precious.
Even if he encountered it, whether he could obtain it was another question. It was a good opportunity, but the possibility of gaining nothing was more likely.
At noon, a whole day had passed.
One day of the three days had passed, and everyone remained calm. Qin Chuan, in particular, was unfazed. After all, one had to maintain a balanced perspective on such an unreliable opportunity—if it came, great fortune; if not, fate.
Don't hold onto too much hope; the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. However, if it did appear, then one should definitely fight for it.
Two days passed.
There was only one day left. If it didn't appear, then this trip to the Tower of Babel would mean the Tower of Babel hadn't appeared.
But according to the pattern, it should appear—and this pattern had always been correct. There
was still one day left, so there was still hope. Another half-day passed.
It was now morning.
If it didn't appear in two more hours, then it wouldn't appear at all.
They had been searching for over two and a half days. Everyone's spirits were still high, but a sense of disappointment lingered, and hope was gradually fading.
In past records, it had actually appeared many times within the last hour, the last quarter of an hour, or the last incense stick's time, but it appeared more often on the first day. So, it was better to be early than late; the earlier it appeared, the more reassuring it would be.
Moreover, the Tower of Babel's opening time is limited. The later it opens, the less time you have to experience and understand it. In short, the earlier it appears, the better; the later, the worse.
"Looks like we came for nothing this time." With less than an hour left, City Lord Murong shook his head helplessly.
"It's appeared!"
Qin Chuan said as soon as he finished speaking.
"It's appeared?" City Lord Murong asked in surprise.
"It's at seven o'clock." Qin Chuan said. He had just received a message from the treasure beast and had seen the Tower of Babel through its vision.
"Let's go!"
The group was extremely excited and quickly headed there.
Although they had seen the Tower of Babel through the treasure beast's vision, they were still shocked when they arrived.
The white jade platform, hundreds of meters in length and width, floated in the air, shimmering with light and radiating a powerful sacred aura, inspiring awe.
A divine object!
This was the Tower of Babel, towering and sacred, spotless. However, there were eight people in front of the white jade platform.
Guardian generals!
The eight people at the War God Realm are not living people, but rather a condensation of energy. To ascend to the Heavenly Platform, one must first defeat these eight guardian warriors.
