  "Don't stop, keep moving!" Once his moves slightly slowed down, she would scold and punish him relentlessly.

  Once her soft toes increased strength on his back, he would feel a mind-blowing pain like a ship that was going to fall.

  However, every time "this ship" would really fall, she would infuse new energy into his body and let him feel the cold feeling on his back, arousing him from a faint.

  Therefore, he had to suffer the circulation of dying, being saved by her energy, dying over and over again.

  This kid is more tenacious than I guessed! Sitting on his back and drinking the wine from time to time, she observed his performance with surprise.

  Generally, people with great talents were prideful, so they didn't like to pay too much attention to fundamental training.

  None of her disciples were common people. They were all great geniuses in the eyes of the public and after becoming her disciples, they became more confident and rushed courageously when learning her skills.

  However, only when they did fundamental training, they all thought that it was unnecessary and didn't need to pay too much attention to it.

  In some sense, they were right. As super geniuses with godlike talents, they could understand the elements of combat skills three times faster than ordinary people, and they also knew the importance of laying a good foundation for their bodies. This was the reason why they could be Casina's disciples.

  Since I have built a wonderful foundation for my body, I don't need to waste more time on this. They all thought.

  "It would be great if they can be patient like you." Casina shook her head at her past disciples, although they were already good enough in the eyes of others.

  There is no "enough" when building a foundation for one's body, it's a work of a lifetime! When my previous disciples understand this, they will finally find the door of the legend rank and create their own godlike martial arts.

  Compared to them, this little guy can even use my Magnificent of Sky Dance, and he is still practicing hard on the basic positions of Sitting Duck and Treasure Ship Style.

  Probably he himself hasn't realized what a great talent he has.

  The blessing from Hydra can't be something simple.

  "The ship is going to capsize!" Yun Xi felt as if his hands were pressing on the sea surface. His body was so limp that he couldn't even squeeze out one last bit of energy.

  His strength had given out after the long practice!

  "Let's bring this to a close for today."

  Casina leapt back to her throne and looked down at him, who was lying on the floor faintly.

  "Not bad, you are a good ship!"

  Chapter 335: A Small Temptation

  After finishing the unexpected practice, Yun Xi slowly walked back to his room with fatigue and fell on his bed.

  Tired, I’m too tired! He didn't even want to open his eyes. If he hadn't eaten the last golden bread on his way back to his room, he would have fainted about half way.

  Casina's martial arts, especially the second position Treasure Ship Style even squeezed out the remaining energy from his body.

  Fortunately, he didn't tell her that he was also a hero ranked Baker and ate his last fourth ranked bread, otherwise, he would probably sleep on the floor.

  Although he complained, he still accepted the fact that he had become Casina's disciple.

  Since I can't refuse her, I have to accept it and adjust myself.

  Moreover, Casina means no harm, doesn't she?

  "Good night, to myself. Everything will be fine tomorrow. I can't concede!" After encouraging himself, he closed his eyes and went off to dreamland.

  ...

  I smell, a very nice and familiar fragrance.

  A light smell of herb, a strong smell of milk, and the smell of honey. They are all mixed up dexterously.

  No, there is another smell, the delicate fragrance of a young girl.

  He opened his eyes, seeing a "flower" blooming in the garden of a hundred flowers, swaying in the wind.

  For a moment, he thought that he was still in the Water God's world and this was another roseate night.

  He habitually stretched out his hand that was a heartbeat away from the cute "little rabbit".

  No, it isn't right!

  I have left the Water God's world!

  Looking at Lu Lu's eyes full of hope and expectations, he trembled and realized that he had almost made another mistake.

  Finally, his fingers lightly dropped down and pinched a strand of Lu Lu's hair. This behavior shouldn't have overstepped the boundary.

  "Mei... good morning..." he could see that she was slightly disappointed. It seemed that she was looking for something to happen.

  Danger! Danger! I had almost exposed myself! His back soaked in cold sweat.

  Lu Lu shouldn't know that "Mei" was the "White Emperor". She didn't even know the name "Yun Xi".

  She closed her eyes and waited for something... It must be just her instinct.

  Her cute, meek look almost made him think that he was still in the Water God's world and he was still the "White Emperor" who married a million brides.

  Fortunately, he wasn't wearing the White Emperor Mask and reined in on the brink of a precipice, so he could still keep his secret.

  The White Emperor Mask didn't disappear. Hydra's White Emperor avatar was just wearing a replica of the mask, and because it was Hydra's avatar, no one could find that the mask was a fake.

  The real White Emperor Mask was still in Yun Xi's hands and was his exclusive artifact as the only reward he obtained from the trial of the Water God's Fantasy Island.

  In other words, once he put on the silver mask, he would become the "White Emperor" again, who could control the Water Mist Field and the Mist Soul Army.

  After leaving the Water God's world, the power of the mask was decreased, but could still let him enter the hero rank, becoming the perfect White Emperor.

  "Lu Lu, good morning." Looking at Lu Lu whose appearance didn't change after leaving the Water God's world, he felt as if a generation had passed.

  He just spent a month in the Water God's world, but he felt he had lived a lifetime there.

  The White Emperor was the savior of the world and the Water God's bride. If he didn't still have the mask, he would doubt if the White Emperor was really himself.

  "Mei, we will arrive at the Sword Palace soon." After that small temptation, she quickly returned to normal. However, her shaking rabbit ears exposed her true emotion.

  Before entering the Water God's world were just "common acquaintances". To him, she was just one of the girls who had his seed.

  However, they both had a feeling that they had a different relationship now.

  Yun Xi obtained a new talent from Lu Lu's seed, Pharmacist.

  He had never learned pharmaceutics, but through her seed, he mastered this knowledge totally.

  At the same time, she also obtained his sword skill talent and his strong mentality talent.

  Lu Lu wasn't the only person who obtained his mentality talent but the entire Starwing Knights girls. It happened after he became a hero ranked Baker in the Water God's world.

  After that, over ten new girls reached the third rank.

  Lu Lu had the highest intimacy with Yun Xi, so she obtained the most benefit and reached the peak of the third rank. She wasn't a girl who was good at sword skill in the past, but she had touched the edge of the hero rank as a female swordsman at this moment.

  Not only that, through the seed, he could see that she had also touched the edge of the hero rank as a Pharmacist.

  Apart from Yun Xi, she would probably become the second member who obtained two hero ranked careers in the Starwing Knights.

  Her rabbit ears were proofs of her Pharmacist talent. Amongst all members of the Starwing Knights, only she still kept her appearance from the Water God's world.

  Chapter 336: Sky Tower

  The rabbit ears not only stood for her aroused Pharmacist talent, but
was also a symbol of her choice and belief.

  Originally, she had decided to live in the Water God's world as the White Emperor's bride, but finally changed her mind and left.

  No one knew the reason behind it. After that, she returned to the Sword Palace camp together with the other Starwing Knights girls.

  It looked like they didn't change too much from before entering the Water God's world.

  However, only they themselves knew that something had changed, like a white paper which was discoloured, it couldn't be called white paper again.

  The two characters in Lu Lu's heart had blended, the two distinct paths had combined into one.

  At this moment, she only looked at Yun Xi silently and gently, remaining indifferent whether granted favours or subjected to humiliation.

  The common Lu Lu had disappeared, at this moment, the girl who looked at Yun Xi with her gentle eyes was the princess of the White Emperor, the core of the Mist Soul Army.

  Being gazed at by Lu Lu, although he believed that his disguise was perfect, he still wondered whether she had found something.

  "Have we arrived at the Sword Palace?" Yun Xi felt guilty and changed the topic stiffly, but he indeed felt a bit surprised.

  Originally, if he took the White Lotus floating ship, the trip from the Eye of Storm to the Sword Palace would spend several days.

  But now, Casina's floating ship "The Sands of Time" only flew a day and a night and now they had arrived at the destination.

  It deserved to be the sixth Sky Sword's floating ship. The crashed White Lotus could fly at a supersonic speed, and "The Sands of Time" was ten times faster than the White Lotus.

  "Yes." Lu Lu nodded and held his hand naturally. They walked out of the room and came to the floor.

  "Look, it's the Sword Palace, the peak-point of the entire White Lotus Sword Domain!"

  "Oh god, it's really a lotus! I thought that it was just a tale!"

  "It's said that the White Lotus Secret Treasure is hiding there, but no one has found it."

  The girls gathered together and exclaimed looking at the buildings under the floating ship.

  "It's... beautiful..." Basking in the sun, Yun Xi squinted his eyes and saw the real appearance of the White Lotus Sword Palace.

  Amongst all lower-level sword domains, the Sword Palace in White Lotus Sword Domain was the most special one.

  Sword-shaped mountains were all over the Sword Palace and these mountains formed a layer of sword formations one layer after another.

  The core of the Sword Palace was a huge white lotus formed by these sword formations.

  Looking down from the floor of the floating ship, the entire White Lotus Sword Palace was like a lotus blooming at the peak of this world, emitting infinite sword-shaped lights.

  "No wonder that it's Yun Hai, the Sword Master's heritage. Even a lot of middle-level sword domains don't have such a special Sword Palace."

  "A lot of students will come to this Sword Palace year after year, and some of them are even from other god's domains."

  "Look, the Sky Tower!" Quickly, everyone shifted their attentions to the core of the Sword Palace, where there was a tall tower.

  It was made of unknown materials, soaring into the sky. It was even taller than the height of the floating ship and even though they raised their heads, they couldn't see the top of the tower.

  Even in daytime, people could see countless mysterious lights that crossed, gathered and spread out from the tower to the end of the boundless starry sky.

  "This is... the Sky Tower..." Yun Xi bated his breath and looked up at the tall tower, which was known as the symbol of the endless god's domains.

  In the Eastern God's Domain, people called it "Sky Tower".

  In the Western God's Domain, people called it "God Tower".

  In the Dragon God's Domain, people called it "Dragon Tower".

  No word was exaggerated in describing this tower, because it was the crystallization of wisdom of the endless god's domains, one of the biggest wonders in the entire universe.

  It was said that the technique that was used to build this tower was derived from the first era of the endless god's domains.

  Only the god's domains with massive intelligent beings and advanced civilization had the material and financial resources and energy to build a Sky Tower.

  Sky Tower was the symbol of high civilization and the sign of the "Star Bridge", which connected countless god's domains.

  No one knew how vast the entire universe was, and amongst different god's domains, there was boundless void measured in lengths of light years.

  By the use of the "Star Bridges", people in different god's domains could travel to other worlds. Because of the Star Bridges, the countless god's domains could be connected together, forming this vibrant union of god's domains.

  Without Star Bridges, common people didn't have any method to move between two god's domains. And a Star Bridge could only be built between two Sky Towers. The Star Bridges were the threads of the traffic network of the god's domains, and the Sky Towers were the nodes of this universe-class network.

  Who built the first Sky Tower? And when was the first Sky Tower built? It was an untraceable history. But they had become the indispensable parts of this vibrant universe.

  A Star Bridge corresponded to two Sky Towers. Originally, White Lotus was just a lower-level sword domain and it was not worthy to build a Sky Tower here. At the most, it could only have a transfer station between two Star Bridges.

  Fortunately, because of Yun Hai the Sword Master, White Lotus Sword Domain once upgraded to be a middle-level sword domain in the past, and this Sky Tower was built in that period. Even a lot of middle-level sword domains couldn't obtain a Sky Tower of their own!

  Every Sky Tower stood for the civilization of the god's domain. Sky Tower would only be built at the most prosperous region of a civilization.

  The Sword Palace was such a core of the entire White Lotus Sword Domain, the king on the tip of this "sword".

  Chapter 337: The Legend of Seven Towers

  "Bang! Bang!" For a reason Yun Xi didn't know, his heart pounded fast when he saw the Sky Tower and Star Bridge.

  Why? He didn't think that he had seen them before, but he felt like he did see them in the past.

  The lines on the tower and the clouds around the tower were just inorganic materials. Although it was a Wonder that connected different worlds and couldn’t be alive, he could hear a special breathing from it.

  The breathing was old and long, filled with a trace of time, which made him feel as if it was even older than this world.

  "How do you feel about it? Did you get shocked?" Casina walked to Yun Xi's side.

  "My teacher, the Sky Tower... what is it?" He had a strong feeling that there was a connection between himself and the tower at the peak of the entire White Lotus Sword Domain.

  "Well... I only know a few tales..."

  "It's said that long, long ago, an unknown person built the first Sky Tower for some reason. It was a beautiful, vibrant green tower."

  "However, some people felt that it was a pity that only one Sky Tower existed in this universe, and it was unfair, so they forced the person to build a second tower. It's said that it was a magnificent tower guarded by dragons."

  "After that, the third, the fourth... a total of seven towers were built in that era. The Sky Towers now are all the seven towers' projections. For example, the Sky Tower in front of us is the projection of the Sky Tower of Sky Sword God’s Domain."

  "As for who built the seven towers and for what purpose... no one now knows." Casina shrugged her shoulders. It was a legend above legends, which happened even before her tribe formed.

  Everything had been buried under the surface of the long river of history. Perhaps only the masters of the seven towers knew who built the towers.

  "By the way, it's still unclear which of the seven towers is the first tower, and people have fought for making this clear many rounds. From ancient
times to the present, the battle of the seven towers is still going on."

  Due to a reason Yun Xi didn't understand, a drop of sweat dripped to the ground from his forehead.

  He had a really bad feeling about the battle of the seven towers.

  "What's the rank of the original, of our Sky Tower?" He knew it wasn't wise to ask this, but he couldn't stop his curiosity.
