Book 1: Chapter 192

Black Glasses' flashlight swept across this levels wooden walls, revealing a bunch of slippery-looking things. When we walked over, the people above came down. I told them our thoughts while Black Glasses used his hand to scrape away the layer of things on the wall, revealing the mural behind. "The style of this mural is the same as the ones I saw in Mute Village, he said to us. The corpse of that immortal that was found in the cave in Mute Village really belonged to the Jin Tong Sect. That village also started to become mute during the Ming Dynasty. The cult at that time really did unscrupulous things to become immortal.

There werent many details on the Jin Tong Sects esoteric teachings in the historical records, but if we looked at it like this, things gradually became clearer.

If the Jin Tong Sects method to becoming immortal was to listen to thunder, then one of their leaders may have come to Mute Village at that time to find a way to enter the South Sea countrys underground river system. Many of the villagers used to fish in the underground river in the past, so they knew all about the water system. That was why the cult leader chose this village and controlled the villagers by drilling holes into their skulls. Maybe he was trying to get help as he searched for the secrets that could be heard in the South Sea countrys thunder, so he created such a strange custom in the village.

If that was the case, then this place should be the Jin Tong Sects ancestral hall and everything they had found and learned about listening to thunder should be in these towers.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

My cursory analysis indicated that the Jin Tong Sect's leaders may have discovered that there were secrets in the thunder and learned about the legend of the West Seas Falling Cloud Country by consulting ancient texts. They thought that this was a shortcut to becoming immortal, so they came to Fujian and preached on the side while searching for the West Seas Falling Cloud Country. The leader that stayed in Mute Village was one of these people. Eventually, one of them finally entered the West Seas Falling Cloud Country and got the secret to listening to thunder.

"This is a sky tower," Poker-Face suddenly said. We all looked at him.

Have you seen something like this before? I thought to myself. It suddenly occurred to me that when I expressed my knowledge before, no one responded at all. Why did everyone instantly turn to look at him as soon as he said something?

Maybe fewer words had more of an impact.

We waited for Poker-Face to explain, but all he said to us was: "Everyone, walk in my footsteps." With that said, he ignored us and went down.

Black Glasses glanced at me and made a "let's go" gesture. I sighed. As our group followed after Poker-Face and started to move down quickly, Fatty shouted from the back, "Say a few more words, Little Brother. I'm still a child and can't stand the suspense. What exactly is a sky tower?"
