Book 8: Chapter 132: Ravages of Time (4)

The first and second floors of the Sage Tower were heaven defying. Though Dyon hadn’t truly put the first floor to work just yet, the second floor was one he frequented.The first floor was reserved for weapon’s forgery. However, its main attraction was its weapon’s evolution room. By allowing weapons to ‘devour’ each other, you can create stronger treasures. Its also possible to combine the abilities of two weapons into one with the help of this floor.Aside from this, there are many other features related to blacksmithing like forgery rooms, furnaces, sharpening stations and the like. It also had many ore storage areas. Though, these rooms are empty, a pattern Dyon would start to see repeat itself very obviously.The second floor was a beast taming ground. Its main attraction was its beast evolution room. Normally a beast needs to absorb blood essence in order to evolve their realm. However, this second floor was on a complete other level. It could use the regular blood of beasts to gradually evolve the grade of lower level beasts.Though, the room was far more efficient if blood essence was used. In addition, much like the first floor, its other rooms were very good for beast taming and the like. It contained many cages that could suppress and force rowdy beasts into a deep sleep, not to mention soothing areas that calmed beasts and made it easier to tame them.The third floor, the first new floor Dyon gained access to, was related to herbs. It had many fields capable of growing spiritual herbs. Eli would have liked this space very much.The main attraction of this floor was its ability to evolve herbs. It was also possible to create new herbs by splicing together ones that seemed compatible. For example, one could fuse several common grade herbs to form a practitioner grade one, or a new common grade one with more versatility. Essentially, this floor could supplement an herbs lack of age with quantity.The fourth floor was similar but rooted in alchemy. It could fuse pills together to form higher grade and higher purity level pills. It also had the ability to duplicate pills with the help of the highest-level creation array Dyon had ever seen in his life.In exchange for energy stones, one could endlessly duplicate pills, even ones of incredibly high grades, as long as you had the appropriate funds. Dyon began to lament the planet grade pill he used to revive Lina. Had he unlocked this floor before, he would have definitely used it back then…The fifth floor was related to formations. Its use almost made Dyon forget his rage entirely, this was how useful it was…Using the fifth floor, one could pre-draw formations, then deploy them in a near instant. The best part was that one only needed to pre-draw this formation a single time, then it could be re-used continuously as long as one had the appropriate amount of energy stones.When Dyon saw the formations the Demon Sage had chosen to pre-draw, he almost erupted into laughter. The formations were so pathetic Dyon wanted to laugh at their absurdity. They were flawed beyond belief, just a single poke from Dyon’s soul qi would be enough to shatter them. Dyon directly made the tower spirit erase them all.Of course, if the Demon Sage’s pre-drawn formations were here, so were the formations that once graced the Immortal Plane. Unfortunately, Dyon would never be able to use them. Even with all his new wealth, he definitely didn’t have the funds necessary to replicate even 1% of these formations. And, even if he did, he had no idea what any of them did. It hurt his mind just to briefly glance at them… In fact, the first time Dyon stepped onto the 5^th floor, he directly lost consciousness for several hours before learning his lesson.The sixth floor was where the Sage Tower’s abilities as a war machine truly began to shine. This floor was centered around recovery and healing. Simply standing within its main room made Dyon feel that his innate healing factor was ten times as fast, and he hadn’t even fed it any energy stones yet. Dyon even vaguely felt his right elbow tingle as his arm began to reconstruct itself.‘If I can bring back Holy Type stones from my constitution’s world… This room would make my armies undefeatable!’The seventh floor was an energy plant. When the tower spirit explained its function to him, Dyon began to understand why this war machine could have only possibly come from the Immortal Plane.The seventh floor’s function was to gather up energy, working similarly to the Energy Core. However, it was very different in a few ways. The Energy Core’s ability to suck up energy was an active ability that relied on its user’s prowess. Due to this, Dyon was confused as to how it took in the Primordial Energy of an entire universe in an instant when he obviously didn’t have the power to do such a thing. It was a mystery Dyon still hadn’t solved to this day.However, this seventh floor wasn’t like that at all. It was more accurate to say that its ability to suck up energy was passive and near unlimited. As long as Dyon provided it a target and gave it some time, it would be able to suck up the energy needed to complete its tasks. In fact, it was possible to power the Sage Tower entirely with the help of the seventh floor and never invest a single stone into it.What was the seventh floor’s most beloved food?… Stars! The Demon General had renamed the seventh floor Star Destroyer for this exact reason…Still, as heaven defying as the seventh floor was, the eighth and ninth were even more so.
