Chapter 355 Hidden Fragments Groan

Afterwards, the group headed to the center of the City of Mystics, where the Mystic Tower was located.

At this moment, the area within a thousand meters of the Mystic Tower has been completely sealed off, and no one is allowed to approach unless they are from one of the major powers in the city.

The Mystic Tower, a top-tier resource treasure trove, is actually monopolized by the various mystic forces within the Mystic City.

Xu Ning and the Gao family members had already entered the sealed-off area and arrived at the foot of the Secret Master's Tower.

"The representatives from all sides have basically arrived..."

Xu Ning looked around. At this moment, there were people everywhere outside the Secret Master Tower. He roughly estimated that there were about a thousand people.

There are more than a dozen forces in the City of Mystics that are qualified to enter the Mystic Tower.

The stronger the power, the more people are allowed to enter; this is a consensus reached after the various parties have engaged in a power struggle.

The Gao family's influence ranks among the top five in the City of Mystics, and they have a quota of one hundred people.

Several forces stronger than the Gao family each had between one hundred and two hundred slots.

The weakest faction was allowed to enter with fewer than twenty people.

"The Mystic Tower has specific rules; ninth-tier mystics cannot enter it. Therefore, the leaders of each faction are all eighth-tier experts..."

Xu Ning also surveyed the area: "The Secret Master Tower is fraught with danger; otherwise, the various factions would have sent even more eighth-tier experts..."

Although all factions want to gain more from the Mystic Tower, if too many top experts are lost inside, it will be a huge blow to the Mystic forces behind them, and may even shake their foundations.

Therefore, although many experts have arrived, this does not represent the full extent of the strength of each faction.

"The Mystic Tower is ready to open!"

Just then, someone shouted loudly.

Xu Ning looked towards the Mystic Tower and saw that the originally simple and ancient surface of the Mystic Tower began to emit a faint white light.

Soon, the light became increasingly dazzling.

Wow!

Finally, the light subsided, and the surface of the Mystic Tower was covered with colorful patterns, undulating slowly like a flowing liquid.

"You can enter now!"

At this moment, Gao Yuji, the leader of the Gao family's eighth-level experts, spoke.

This Gao Yuji is the middle-aged man who previously assessed Xu Ning and allowed him to join the Gao family.

"Everyone, once you enter the Mystic Tower, you must be careful not only of the dangers inside, but also of people from other factions."

Gao Yuji said, "Upon entering the Tower of Mystics, everyone will be randomly teleported. Once you encounter your own people, be sure to stick together and face the danger as a team!"

"yes!"

Everyone responded.

Most people's faces showed a mixture of excitement and fear.

"Set off!"

Gao Yu gave the order.

Subsequently, like other forces, the Gao family's forces rushed into the overflowing liquid light curtain outside the Secret Master's Tower.

"Xu Ning, I wish you all the best."

Before entering, Gao Qixuan said to Xu Ning.

"You too, try your best to get out alive."

Xu Ning responded.

The two exchanged a smile and then entered the Mystic Tower completely.

……

After a moment of dizziness, Xu Ning found himself in a dark red space.

In this space, volcanoes stand tall, dark clouds are thick, and the air is filled with a pungent smell.

Based on the information he had previously obtained, Xu Ning knew that there were a large number of independent spaces inside the Secret Master Tower.

Each space has a teleportation portal. Entering the portal will randomly transport you to another independent space.

Within these independent spaces, the danger and the amount of resources vary. In most independent spaces, the danger and the amount of resources are directly proportional. However, there are also a few independent spaces where the amount of resources is huge but there is no danger, or where the danger is extremely high but there are no resources.

Therefore, it is impossible to know which independent space you enter or what kind of environment you will encounter.

"Once you enter the Mystic Tower, all the mystic resources you encounter can be yours. However, if you obtain a 'Hidden Fragment,' you must hand it over to the Gao family after you leave..."

This was an agreement reached between the Gao family and the recruits before they entered the Mystic Tower.

Those recruited receive a reward and the opportunity to enter the Mystic Tower, but on the condition that they help search for hidden fragments.

After obtaining the hidden fragment, you can take it out and exchange it for resources from the Gao family.

Overall, the Gao family treats its recruits very well.

"What exactly is that hidden fragment? I'll have to investigate it after I obtain it..."

Xu Ning was also somewhat curious about that hidden fragment.

According to the information Xu Ning already knew, this hidden fragment was a secret that could help a ninth-level sorcerer advance to the tenth level.

In the world of esoteric masters, there hasn't been a tenth-tier esoteric master for a very long time.

After the three tenth-rank strategists who built the strategist tower disappeared, the method for advancing to the tenth rank was no longer circulated, and the ninth-rank strategists lost their direction.

All the secrets of the ascended world are hidden within these hidden fragments.

"According to the realms in the martial arts world, the difference between the ninth and tenth ranks is the difference between the Dao Realm and the Grandmaster Realm... Therefore, that hidden fragment should be related to the outer world..."

This is Xu Ning's own guess.

"We don't know what the resources are like in this isolated space, or what the dangers are..."

Xu Ning looked at the dim and oppressive space and thought to himself.

"Let's scout it out first. If the danger isn't too great and the resources are decent, then we'll gather some resources here. If the resources are scarce and the danger is high, then we'll find the teleportation point and leave this place..."

Xu Ning walked on the ground and found no signs of life in the isolated space.

Even some plants don't exist.

In hot, secluded spaces, it is difficult for ordinary plant-type secret plants to survive.

"Not much in terms of resources, and not much danger..."

Xu Ning was slightly disappointed: "Then let's find a teleportation portal, leave this place, and enter the next independent space..."

"etc……"

Xu Ning looked towards the distant crater.

"Let's go take a look..."

Xu Ning climbed to the nearest crater.

He looked down and saw gushing lava below.

These magmas are somewhat different from ordinary magma; they are dark red in color and give off a very dangerous feeling.

Xu Ning felt that even a sixth-level strategist would be injured by the lava splash.

"There aren't many resources inside the volcano..."

Xu Ning felt somewhat helpless.

"Let's keep searching for the teleportation portal..."

Just as Xu Ning was about to give up searching for resources, a low roar suddenly came from afar.

Xu Ning looked in the direction of the sound.

The source of that low roar was the highest volcano in the area.

At that moment, lava erupted from the crater.

"Let's go take a look!"

Xu Ning's heart skipped a beat, and she hurried inside.
