I picked up the scattered attributes

So, can those bigwigs in ASEAN really solve their predicament?

"Don't overthink it! The reason the grand formation of the Eastern Heaven Realm reacted is because the identity verification array at the entrance detected the nameplates on our bodies. Now that we've entered, we're safe for the time being!"

"Once we meet the officials, everything will naturally become clear."

One after another, the crowd shouted loudly, as if to stabilize morale or to suppress the restlessness in their hearts.

They sped past the buildings of Dongtianjing, watching those familiar faces from the past brush past them.

No one realized that they had returned.

"arrive!"

The residence of several ASEAN leaders is a towering pagoda that reaches into the clouds, standing at the very center of this secret place, its top difficult to see at a glance.

Along the way, everyone acted as if they were in an empty place.

Neither the defensive formations around the tower nor the supernatural beings stationed there treated them like invisible air, completely unaware that someone was passing by.

Before they could even step forward to pay their respects, a powerful divine sense swept out from the tower.

Before long, the divine sense was withdrawn again.

A soft voice sounded, as if it contained a hint of a smile: "It seems that someone has invaded the entrance. According to the records, it should be those who went to the Western Regions to die. Their identity badges have been misused."

"The Western Regions reacted quickly enough, but was it even useful?"

Another voice rang out, filled with sarcasm: "In all these years, has they ever truly located us? They claim to be surrounding and killing us, but every time, haven't we escaped with ease?"

"That's not entirely true. We were able to leave so easily thanks to those idiots down there."

"If it weren't for them, like leeks that keep growing back after being harvested, it wouldn't be easy to activate the Eastern Heaven Realm. Even our cultivation would be damaged. How could we have made such progress as we have now?"

Unbeknownst to them, Number Nineteen and the others stopped in their tracks.

They did not move forward, but listened quietly.

Because they had become ghosts, almost no one could detect their presence. So much so that even the adults in the tower were completely unaware that someone had secretly crept up to such a close distance and was eavesdropping on their conversation from below.

No, this can no longer be called eavesdropping; it's a group of people openly watching!

It was precisely for this reason that the several divine senses that were surging on the tower did not deliberately conceal their auras, but instead chatted and laughed with others in a relaxed and casual manner, as if it were a casual conversation.

"The power of the esteemed individuals is actually sufficient to activate the Eastern Heaven Realm, without us having to sacrifice ourselves?"

Number Nineteen unconsciously narrowed her eyes and muttered under her breath, "This is different from what was said before. You know, back then, Rui'er was because..."

Meanwhile, the people on the tower continued their conversation.

"In the end, they're just a bunch of clueless guys."

"But we should also thank them for their efforts. It won't be long before the Two Realms Spirit Tower is fully completed. At that time, we will be able to easily go to the outside world, and the Xuan Yuan World will no longer be able to restrain us!"

"Heh heh! They'll probably never know that until they die..."

"The vast Eastern Heaven Realm, including these ASEAN members, is nothing more than a part of the Two Realms Spirit Tower, merely fuel to activate this magical artifact!"

……

Chapter 0756

The area around the central tower is normally a restricted area.

No one may enter without the permission of the leaders.

Violators will be...

Only death awaits!

Therefore, these assassins had never been here before, nor had they ever seen the sights. And now it seems that even those high-ranking officials are no different from ordinary people in private.

They treated this place as their own backyard, chatting as if no one else was around, completely unaware that their conversation had been overheard by a group of outsiders!

"What...what do they mean?"

"The Spirit Tower Between Two Realms, I feel like I've heard of that kind of magical artifact before!"

Unbeknownst to them, Number Nineteen and the others gradually furrowed their brows.

Their original goal was quite simple: to find several leaders of ASEAN, and with the help of these important figures, the strange phenomena on them could be resolved!

However, at this moment, a hint of hesitation arose in their hearts.

Whether this ghostly state can be lifted remains to be seen...

However, a great deal of top-secret information was clearly revealed from the conversation of these adults!

"I also saw a record in an ancient book that said that in the ancient times of the Xuan Yuan World, the Spirit Tower of the Two Worlds was also an extraordinary treasure, drawing on a massive amount of primordial energy of heaven and earth to connect the two worlds together!"

How astonishing is the strength of the fetal membranes worldwide?

Normally, even a True God at the True One Realm cannot break through instantly.

Connecting two worlds cannot be achieved by brute force or ordinary teleportation arrays. The existence of the Two-World Spirit Tower is equivalent to using skillful means to connect the two worlds!

"Judging from what you gentlemen are saying, it seems they are refining a spirit tower connecting the two worlds?"

"But I remember that ancient book said that the method of making the Spirit Tower between the two worlds was lost to time after the end of the ancient era."

One by one, everyone frowned.

They exchanged glances subconsciously, an indescribable unease spreading through their hearts. Since choosing to become ASEAN suicide squad members, they had rarely felt this way.

The subsequent remarks by the adults in the tower made their hearts sink even more.

"Whether it's the supernatural beings of ASEAN or the entire Eastern Heaven Realm, they are all actually fuel for the Two Realms Spirit Tower?"

"Moreover, ASEAN has inside agents in Xuanwu, so they can basically know about every encirclement and suppression operation in advance to some extent?"

"What about those ASEAN members who sacrificed their lives before..."

The expressions on the faces of the group of people changed repeatedly.

Number Nineteen's ten fingers clenched tightly, his nails digging into his flesh, and his jaw clenched so hard that it made a screeching sound, as if he wanted to crush his teeth!

It is no secret to ASEAN members that they have faced numerous attacks from the Xuanwu State.

Although they called Xuanwu Kingdom a northern barbarian kingdom, the Xuanwu Emperor was indeed a capable ruler, and the Holy National Preceptor Feng Xia was also unparalleled in his methods. He launched several sieges and attacks, catching the ASEAN countries off guard each time.

In other words, the Eastern Heaven Realm itself is a spatial magic treasure. As long as there is enough Yuan energy to activate it, it can quickly traverse space, which is why it was able to escape the pursuit of the Xuanwu Imperial Guard time and time again.

However, this rapid movement comes at a price.

Not only will the leaders exhaust their own strength, but their cultivation levels will also regress to some extent in a short period of time.

It would also require other ASEAN members to burn themselves and sacrifice themselves, along with a massive amount of elemental stones and spiritual objects, to fully unleash the power of the Eastern Heaven Realm.

This has happened twelve times in the past decade!

"Impossible! If activating the Eastern Heaven Realm doesn't require that much energy, doesn't that mean Rui'er died for nothing?" Number Nineteen's lips were as pale as paper as he murmured in utter astonishment, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! There must be some mistake..."

Rui'er was his Daoist partner.

He lost both his parents at a young age and lived alone until he met that girl. She brought him to the Eastern Heaven Realm and made him a member of the Eastern Alliance.

As for joining ASEAN, No. 19 didn't really care, and he didn't actually have much hatred for Xuanwu Kingdom in the Western Regions.

After all, as long as Rui'er is here, then ASEAN is his homeland.

Later, their feelings for each other deepened, and they eventually held a simple wedding, becoming a true couple under the witness of the central tower.

"Nineteen..."

Several companions looked worriedly at the figure of Number Nineteen.

Because they all understood quite well...

When faced with the tenth surprise attack, Rui'er was chosen by the central tower. She burned all her energy and spirit to activate the Eastern Heaven Realm. By the time Number Nineteen arrived, the girl had already turned to ashes!

Since then, Number Nineteen has been heartbroken and has come to hate Xuanwu Kingdom.

The decision to abandon everything and become a suicide squad happened not long after that.

"In fact, the power of the few adults is more than enough to activate the Eastern Heaven Realm, and there is no need for others to make sacrifices?"

"Their cultivation has not only not regressed, but has actually improved?"

An incredibly unbelievable thought flooded the minds of everyone, including Number Nineteen. They wanted to deny everything they had heard, but it was clear that the ASEAN leaders in the tower were unaware of their presence and therefore had no reason to deceive them!

"If there's absolutely no need for sacrifices..."

A fierce and boundless rage gradually welled up in Number Nineteen's eyes.

Connecting this with what they had heard before, even the most naive person would understand.

"I need an explanation!"

Boom——

A terrifying energy storm erupted, and Number Nineteen's magical power surged forth, transforming into a series of booming divine abilities mixed with endless rage, capable of burning everything to ashes.

"Get out here! I need an explanation!"

All his power was focused on his fist, and without thinking, Number Nineteen threw a punch that slammed into the central tower!

But in the next instant, as if an invisible force had swept by, all the attacks turned into dreamlike illusions, brushing past the pristine white central tower without even stirring up a single leaf.
