After leaving the hill, Chen Chuan did not return directly to the Mysterious Palace Tower but drove towards Mo Tie Mountain. Cao Guiqi obviously knew about this and perhaps he could learn more from him. Because he had contacted him via Boundary Token on the way, he saw Uncle Ding waiting outside Cao Family Manor from afar upon arrival. This was a rare privilege. After parking the car, he walked up and followed Uncle Ding into the Mansion. Upon seeing Cao Guiqi, the latter asked, "Have you heard about the Zhenxing Tower?" Chen Chuan nodded, "Yes." Cao Guiqi said, "Follow me." Then he turned and walked towards the back of the courtyard. Chen Chuan followed him out of the courtyard and got into a retro carriage. Uncle Ding sat on the saddle and drove the two towards the back mountain of the Mansion. Chen Chuan looked outside. He had noticed before when he came that there seemed to be a tower standing on the high ground of Mo Tie Mountain, but it was obscured by dense trees and not very clear. But at this time, the carriage was obviously going in that direction, and as he got closer, he could see its general shape. This was an octagonal tower with a distinct old times religious style. Judging from its ancient appearance, it shouldn't be a retro building, but one that had been standing here since the old times. The carriage went all the way to the bottom of the tower. Chen Chuan and Cao Guiqi got out of the car and followed him into the tower. However, compared to the dilapidated exterior, the interior was the complete opposite, with a completely new era decoration style. Not all of the structure was old, but had been reinforced and renovated. The original wooden stairs had also been removed and replaced with a sightseeing elevator. Uncle Ding stepped forward to start the elevator for the two of them. After Chen Chuan and Cao Guiqi entered, he pressed a button, but he didn't come in, just stood at the door. Cao Guiqi didn't speak along the way. The two took the elevator all the way to the top of the tower. He walked out and came to the railing, gently pressing his hand on it. Chen Chuan walked over and looked out. This was the highest point of the entire Mo Tie Mountain, and he could vaguely see the Mansions and villas scattered everywhere, as well as the vast Central City. Cao Guiqi then said, "This is called Zhenxing Tower. In the old times, this was a crucial place reserved by the imperial family to confront and contact another "world'." Chen Chuan's heart stirred slightly, "Then is this considered the Central City of the old times?" Cao Guiqi said, "You could say that, but it's different. What Commissioner Liang told you is that Central City is the front line against that world, the anchor point between the two worlds, the closest place to that side?" Chen Chuan said, "That's what he told me." Cao Guiqi said, "These places weren't like this at first, but scattered, densely scattered all over the world. If you compare our world to a piece of white paper, the places where the two worlds first came into contact are like countless black dots scattered on the white paper. In the old times, countries' understanding of the period of change was still based on past records, so the imperial families of various countries did not adopt a confrontational approach, but directly built such Zhenxing Towers on the more turbulent gaps, and tried to obtain Strength and technologies worth studying from them. Later, they gradually understood what was happening, and began to strictly block the gaps, and tried to Guide and condense these gaps, concentrate them together, and integrate them under the management and Control of various empires. It's just that at that time, due to various technical conditions not keeping up, and insufficient information transmission and monitoring, although they had already made a lot of remedial measures, there were still a large number of loopholes and gaps in the world. Many things leaked through these gaps, but at the same time, they gave many people opportunities." Chen Chuan said, "I heard Commissioner Liang say that it was because of technological advancements that the empires collapsed." Cao Guiqi shook his head, "It's not entirely like that. The real situation is actually more complicated, but what the old empires didn't accomplish, the new era did accomplish. After the Great Alliance was established, it eliminated, Guided, and gathered most of the discovered gaps and anchor points in the world, and built Central Cities on them, and also built the World Ring for defense and confrontation. From this perspective, the Great Alliance has made a great contribution to the entire world. Moreover, in the new era, Martial Artists at least have a chance to get ahead. In the old times, everything was determined by origin and bloodline, the path to advancement was completely blocked, and the empires couldn't bear the responsibilities they should have borne. Instead... they were eventually eliminated, which was their deserved end and could be considered the world's choice. It's just that the Great Alliance only existed for thirty years before it collapsed. Commissioner Liang told you that Central City is the front line of confrontation, which is not wrong, but the governments and companies of various countries have also gained a lot of benefits from it. If these are regarded as resources, the governments and companies of various countries have almost monopolized all the resources. Although this is necessary, when these gradually flow to the top and are firmly held in the hands of the governments and large companies of various countries, the situation becomes different again..." Speaking of this, he sighed with disappointment, "How could those imperial families and relatives not want this? They wanted to obtain things that were beneficial to them from the other side, and sit in their seats for thousands of years, but what is left now?" He patted the railing under him, "Only these remaining ruins. It's just that in their time, the contact between the two worlds wasn't as close as it is now, so the whole world could still afford trial and error, but this time, we can't afford to make a mistake again. But that's for us. For the world itself, it might not have any Influence. According to limited records, situations similar to the Great Boom may have occurred in history, but that may have been before the rise of civilization, long buried in the past that we cannot know..."

He turned his head and said solemnly, "Junior Brother Chen, in this new era that is coming, as far as you personally are concerned, you must try to seize this opportunity and take advantage of the situation, otherwise it will be impossible to control your own destiny." Chen Chuan also nodded solemnly. He thought for a moment and then said, "That Commissioner Liang told me," Cao Guiqi said seriously, "He didn't say anything wrong, because from Because the fusion of that world with ours has changed the material world we live in, making it less restrictive and making the impossible possible. That world has brought danger, but it has also brought opportunities. Many important resources, including some technologies, in various countries have come from that world or the collision of the two worlds. These resources are completely controlled by the Government and large companies." He looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Chen student, when you are weak, it is best to join them first, slowly obtain what you want from them, use these efforts to strengthen yourself, and do everything possible to reach the next Limit before the Great Boom, at that time you will have the qualification to negotiate conditions with them." Chen Chuan understood what he meant, and also knew that this path should be the most suitable path at the moment, but there was a more realistic problem in front of him. This alone could not meet his Cultivation needs. So he thought for a while and asked, "Senior Brother Cao, I would like to ask, besides joining the Government and Company, are there any other paths to choose from?" Cao Guiqi didn't answer immediately. After a while, he slowly said, "Outside Central City, there are still some scattered gaps that have not been collected, and some will appear from time to time because of the collision of worlds. Many of these gaps are in the hands of some marginal forces and organizations, who use them to recruit people and try to obtain some benefits from them. But most of these gaps are very unstable, and it's hard to say what will appear in them. Without enough Strength, they may be destroyed overnight at any time. Moreover, the Governments and Companies of various countries are watching this very closely, and once discovered, they will eliminate and collect them in time. Besides that... there is no other way to go." Chen Chuan pondered for a moment and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, Senior Brother Cao, for telling me this." Cao Guiqi said, "It's nothing. You will gradually come into contact with these things in the future. But Junior Brother, if you have made a decision, then be careful." He reminded again, "The things that leak through the World Ring are not easy to deal with, and don't easily believe the information that those things pass on to you." Chen Chuan said, "I will, thank you, Senior Brother Cao, for the reminder." Cao Guiqi looked outside, his clothes fluttering in the wind. He said, "The intersection of the worlds profoundly Influences us, Influences each of us, from ancient times to the present. I don't know what the result will be, but if we can get through it, perhaps a brand new future will be waiting for us." Chen Chuan stayed there for a while longer before bidding farewell and leaving. After Uncle Ding saw Chen Chuan off, he turned back to the tower and said respectfully, "Young Master, Chen student has left." Cao Guiqi hummed. He was still standing there, looking down at Mo Tie Mountain, not knowing what he was thinking. Uncle Ding hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said, "Young Master, with Chen student's current level, he should know about that matter. You didn't mention it to him..." Cao Guiqi turned his back to him and said, "Uncle Ding, I said, I'm helping him simply because we are compatible, and his character is worth supporting, but there's no need to bear what I've experienced." Uncle Ding said, "But Young Master, that's also an opportunity for Little Brother Chen, isn't it? If Young Master is optimistic about his future, then it's better to..." Cao Guiqi flicked his sleeve, "No need to say more, a road that has been taken wrongly once cannot be taken again." Uncle Ding lowered his head deeply, "Yes..."
