My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

This was indeed a privilege, but one that had been fought for.

Mu Yuanyuan was more than a mere Frontier Lord of one star.

He quickly completed the procedures and brought Duo Lai and the other two in with him.

Stepping into the high tower was like passing through the Gate of the Secret Realm. The gate separated the inside from the outside, forming an independent world.

Mu Yuan seemed thoughtful.

He was observing.

The environment inside the tower was quite ordinary, with only an empty space paved with green stone slabs.

The space led upwards, winding upwards at the end.

The entire Nirvana Tower was a spiral tower ascending upward, with nothing inside.

There were only practitioners who had entered one after another.

Two figures were visible a few hundred meters away.

They struggled to take one step after another, their foreheads already covered in sweat.

"Looks difficult?"

"Indeed, I do feel a bit uncomfortable."

Duo Lai said.

At this moment, an invisible force descended, alighting upon their bodies and spirits.

It was as if they were being smelted.

"Is this the power of the Nirvana Tower?"

Mu Yuan walked forward step by step.

He was not walking fast, for his goal was to observe.

Even so,

he passed by two professional explorers who looked like father and son;

he passed by a Lord who was lying on the ground;

he passed by a young girl with a look of terror on her face;

The longer he walked, the fiercer the smelting fire became.

"Some special abilities indeed have the effect of refining the body, but the power inside the Nirvana Tower is closer to the Heaven and Earth Rules, like... like the Epic training building 'Ice and Fire Double Heaven.'"

The power of Miracle Buildings is based on the Heaven and Earth Rules.

The higher the grade of the Miracle Building, the more power it holds that defies common sense and, naturally, the more Heaven and Earth Rules and Miracle Powers it contains.

The power of the Nirvana Tower appeared clearer to him than that of the Miracle Buildings.

Even so, it was still mysterious and inscrutable, like reading a heavenly book.

He couldn't even count how many concepts were flowing around him.

Too many.

At this time, Seventeen, who was focused on honing herself, had already reached a higher place.

She came to a spot where Liu Mei started to furrow, and she sat down there. Her eyes shimmered with starlight, as if tracing the trajectory of arrow light.

At a certain moment,

a notification sounded in Mu Yuan's ear.

"Notice: Your soldier 'Seventeen' has made a minor breakthrough during the trial, Mental Power enhanced to 'Solidifying Level.'"

If the Light of the Spirit were to manifest outwardly, then at this moment, Seventeen's Light of the Spirit would have at least surged upward by a third, and the entire beam of light had become more solid and dazzling.

However, Seventeen achieved a breakthrough while Lord Shepherd himself did not.

He always felt that these so-called Tribulations and Nirvana were of no use to him; the smelting was in vain.

He couldn't make heads or tails of the tower's analysis.

But since Seventeen had made a breakthrough, the trip was not in vain.

He inquired with the other two. Isloa, as smart as she was, could not discern the trick, not to mention asking Duo Lai.

"Maybe it's too early to come."

"Tai Xuan also has legendary figures in the Law Realm, who can glimpse concepts; they must have observed the Nirvana Tower too. It's very likely that they too have learned but not understood."

"Wait until later, when Dead Bone steps into the Law Realm, and then bring it to observe again." Enjoy new stories from empire

As for the trial and the smelting of the body?

Isloa's arrival was just an avatar, which could not be honed at all.

And Duo Lai...

Mu Yuan looked at Duo Lai, who was staring intently at the walls and the floor with clear eyes.

It was evident that it was trying hard to observe something, but... but its eyelids were already drooping.

However, come to think of it, could Duo Lai still be sleepy in Nirvana Tower? Wasn't there an invisible force smelting the body and spirit inside the tower?

Like the burning of a flame, the pricking of needles.

He could endure it, and he believed Duo Lai could endure it too, but how could you still sleep with such discomfort continuously assailing you?

"Huh?"

Duo Lai looked perplexed, "What smelting? What refining and smelting?"

Suddenly, Duo Lai's eyes widened.

"Notice: Your hero 'Duo Lai' has enhanced it's Devouring ability after consuming concepts."

"Notice: Your hero 'Duo Lai' has acquired a trace of the Nirvana concept."

Several kilometers away.

Nirvana Town.

This Secret Realm's central hub saw a significant flow of visitors and had already developed a rich tourism and hospitality industry.

In a tavern on the second floor, by the window.

The blue-haired woman held a chicken claw in one hand and upended a jug of wine with the other, guzzling heartily, uncaring that the drink soaked her clothes.

"Burp~ Human booze sure has taste~ Burp~!"

Her hand holding the wine jar suddenly paused, and after several seconds of deep thought.

"My tower...right, why has my tower's strength diminished?"

The operation of the Nirvana Tower indeed consumed her power, but usually, she would only need to recharge it every few months.

If she had to recharge it daily, she'd go mad, she still needed to drink!

But now, the Nirvana Tower was like it had a leak.

95%, 93%, 91%, 89%...

She had just recharged it!

Urgent, urgent, very urgent!

The green-haired female completely set down the wine jar, her gaze turning profound as she looked towards the distant Nirvana Tower.

She quickly found the culprit!

A... girl who looked rather silly but whose eyes were exceptionally clear.

The intangible force that descended from within the Nirvana Tower to hone challenges and bring about tribulations had no effect when it landed on the girl; instead, it inexplicably disappeared.

Disappeared.

Gone.

What was this situation?

The green-haired female stared for a long time but was unable to discern any clues, for most of the power of the Nirvana Tower came from heaven and earth, and she was merely following those rules.

She could only see that the human girl had indeed done nothing, yet the intangible tribulation had mysteriously vanished.

83%, 81%, 79%,...

"Grandma's legs! What kind of lineage does this girl have?"

She thought hard and finally made a decision.

...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Congratulations, you have cleared the Nirvana Tower."

When Mu Yuan came to his senses, he had already appeared outside the tower.

Duo Lai, Isloa, and Seventeen were there as well.

He had read the guides and knew that when a practitioner could no longer hold on, they would be sent out by the tower's power.

But,

He was clearly standing strong.

What was this about clearing the tower?

"You have obtained the proof of passing, the Nirvana Feather."

A feather, radiating a blue light, floated down, landing in the palm of his hand.

"Nirvana Feather (Epic): A one-time use item that can boost potential or heal injuries, including foundational ones, and it also represents the recognition of the owner of the Nirvana Tower."

This epic item was a one-time use item and not as valuable as a true epic treasure.

However, its meaning was significant.

Mu Yuan suddenly understood a bit, and he looked at Duo Lai, "Cough cough, it seems we've been shown out."

The Nirvana Tower was entered by a certain Miss Duo.

Duo Lai had innocent eyes.

It didn't understand what had happened either.

Mu Yuan, on the other hand, had some idea—it was probably the voracious Great Force.

Duo Lai itself symbolized 'Devouring.'

It was constantly devouring and absorbing; it didn't even need to practice its domain for it to naturally expand. And this time, the Nirvana Tower's tribulations couldn't break through Duo Lai's 'passive devouring defense' and were directly absorbed instead.

And such absorption might have even gone through its strength, touching the core.

Thinking this, he felt a bit embarrassed.

No, they had cleared the tower fair and square.

At most, it meant that the Nirvana Tower had a BUG that needed fixing. This tower wasn't quite up to par.

Mu Yuan glanced at the high tower a few times, then turned and walked towards the town.

The town was thriving, with an abundance of food and drink.

Since they were here, Mu Yuan let Duo Lai wander around, buying things everywhere.

He found it somewhat strange.

"This place seems less like a town for cultivation and more like a foodie's haven."

The majority of the shops in the entire town were related to eating and drinking, with most of them being taverns or restaurants.

Mu Yuan even saw many special local delicacies here.

Duo Lai had a blast eating.

"It's not just me going around eating everywhere."

Perhaps cultivation and gourmet food were a good match.

Mu Yuan thought so.

He also saw a green-haired woman who was hungover, staggering along but holding on to her wine jar as if her life depended on it.

Thus, swaying back and forth, she passed by Mu Yuan and his group.

Mu Yuan even took a second look.

About half a day later, fed up and quenched, Duo Lai packed a vast variety of delicacies to take back for everyone.

They stepped through the Secret Realm's Gate and returned to the outside world.

Isloa felt it was a pity.

"It's a shame we didn't get to meet the legend of the Nirvana Secret Realm. Could he/she be at the very top of the Nirvana Tower?"

She wanted to see how these naturally born legends differed from them.

"No."

Mu Yuan spoke up, "Actually, we've already met this mysterious legend, just a short while ago, on the street."
