Chapter 514: Celestial Paragon Tower
Jian Wang and Furion stared at the old man and little girl as they walked upstairs.
"Too bad. I thought the old man was the owner, but based on his strength, it would be impossible for him to gather so many Celestial-rank materials even if he spend millions of years looking for them. He also said earlier that the little girl is the adopted younger sister of Wine Master Jiu Shen. Hey, Brother Jian. Do you know anyone else with the name Jiu Shen?" Furion asked the man in front of him.
Upon hearing the question, Jian Wang thought about the man who inadvertently provoked Lao Gou. "You also know him, but he's already dead." He answered calmly.
Furion furrowed his eyebrows and nodded his head in agreement.
"Let's find somewhere to stay and then we'll go back here tomorrow. Their wine here can help me improve my Sword Intent. Although the increase is not much, there is still progress. If we visit here every day, my sword intent will break through to the next level in less than a thousand years." Jian Wang said with a smile. He didn't expect to find something so surprising after coming out of seclusion.
Furion's eyes lit up upon hearing his words. He also loved the wines in the store and he was already thinking about how to persuade Jian Wang to come back here with him, but who knew the guy would beat him to it?
After paying for the wines they ordered, the two men left the dragon building.

Outside Hard Rock City, two bedraggled figures can be seen walking side by side. Their faces were filled with trepidation as they recalled what happened earlier. Luckily, the old man didn't use the power of the Protective Array Formations to kill them.
"Lord Berith, I think it would be wise to report this to the Celestial Paragon Tower. Once their higher-ups learn about this, I am certain that they would immediately inform Celestial Emperor Lao Gou. Without his help, we can't do anything to the wine store." Domas said with a helpless voice. The strength possessed by the wine store was unexpected. They thought that the Protective Array Formations were merely a display of power and wealth. They never thought that the Protective Array Formations were still active!
Berith gritted his teeth as he recalled the hateful figure of the little girl they met in the dragon building. Because of her, he was humiliated in front of many people! He couldn't let this go!
"You're right. Only Celestial Emperor Lao Gou can help us in this situation. I can't believe that the solitary expert, Jian Wang, would actually build a wine store, but what I don't understand is his connection with the Sword God Region. Once we have the support of the Celestial Paragon Tower, we must get to the bottom of this!" Berith's demonic eyes glinted coldly as he muttered those words. He then soared through the skies with Domas in his tow.
The direction they were going to was the center of the continent. With their cultivation, they could already manipulate the power of space to a certain degree and enhance their flight speed.
After flying for more than a few hours, they finally saw a towering skyscraper that pierced the clouds!
The outer coating of the tower was made of pure gold and even though they were still quite a distance away from the tower, the two Dark Devils could already see the brilliance it reflected.
Numerous high-level cultivators can be seen flying outside the tower and they were all wearing a set of white robes with golden dragon patterns. They were filled with pride as they watched the respectful gazes of the other experts.
The men wearing white robes were the disciples of the Celestial Paragon Tower. All of them were the cream of the crop in the Primordial God Realm. Their talents were unrivaled since the day they were born and because of their unique constitution and natural endowments, they became disciples of the number one superpower in the Primordial God Realm!
The Celestial Paragon Tower was very strict when it comes to the recruitment of disciples. They only conduct recruitments every one hundred years and the minimum requirement to have the chance to join the tower was to have a supreme physique! Despite the harsh requirements, thousands upon thousands of geniuses still try to register. However, the tower only accepts five hundred disciples every recruitment and because of this, the competition for the final five hundred positions was very fierce and many top geniuses even die during the filtering process!
Soon, Berith and Domas arrived at the entrance of the tower. They descended and greeted the disciple guarding the entrance.
The disciple glanced at them coldly and remained silent.
Seeing this, Domas took out a golden token with the words 'Dark Devil Race' engraved on it. He then showed it to the disciple.
"Oh, so you guys are from the Dark Devil Race! What can I do for you?" The gaze of the disciple softened after seeing the black token, but there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
The golden tokens were given to the subordinate races of the Celestial Paragon Tower. The two Dark Devils might be stronger than him, but as a disciple of the tower, he had a superior identity to them!
"We have something to report to the Elders of the Celestial Paragon Tower. It is of utmost importance and is related to Celestial Emperor Lao Gou. I hope you can lead us inside." Domas was respectful to the disciple. He didn't have the guts to flaunt his power in this place.
The disciple's eyes flashed briefly upon hearing his words. He then nodded his head with a serious look.
"Alright. I'll take you there. Follow me." Anything that involves Celestial Emperor Lao Gou must not be taken lightly. The disciple was arrogant, but he knew that this wasn't the time to show his superiority towards the Dark Devils.
Berith and Domas followed the disciple inside the tower. The two Dark Devils were feeling a bit unsettled as they stepped foot inside the renowned golden tower.
