# Chapter 2113: The Nameless Tower
The sound of two profound ships traversing the sky shook the sea of clouds, and the auras and divine voices of two Divine Venerables dominated heaven and earth. Yet everyone felt that the world they were in was exceptionally quiet. Because their gazes and souls seemed to be pulled by an irresistible invisible force, focusing dazedly on the Heaven-Breaking Divine Maiden beside Hua Fuchen.
Once, she was the moon in the sky, snow among the clouds. Exquisitely beautiful and distant, yet giving rise to fantasies that might be touched. Now, she had become the moon in dreams, snow beyond the heavens.
She had shed her last traces of youth and fully unleashed the elegance once hidden by that youth. Every inch of snow-white skin, every line of her features, was so supremely beautiful and flawless, perfect to the point that even in the realm of fantasy, it would be an extravagant hope beyond what the mortal world should possess.
Where her beautiful eyes turned, every flicker of her gaze seemed to tug at the radiance of all heaven and earth. Even a thousand stars dimmed before her, even the bright moon timidly hid.
Having passed the age of twenty and reforged her resolute sword heart, she had gradually acquired the cold aloofness and otherworldly immortal grace of Hua Qingying... When Yun Che laid eyes on her, it even gave him a slight sense of unreality regarding their past together.
Meng Jianxi, stunned for a long time, suddenly woke as if from a dream. He hurriedly lowered his gaze and let out a somewhat difficult sigh: "As expected of the Heaven-Breaking Divine Maiden. When I first saw her back then, I was already amazed by her heavenly beauty. Now she is even... even..."
Clever as he was, he stammered for a long time but could not squeeze out half a word worthy of matching her.
Hua Caili stepped forward and bowed gracefully: "Caili pays respects to Dreamless Divine Venerable. It has been too long since I last inquired..."
"Eh eh, what 'Divine Venerable'? That's too distant." Meng Kongchan's Divine Venerable eyes narrowed into two overly thin slits. "Just call me Uncle for now."
In the past, Meng Kongchan's gaze toward Hua Caili was full of admiration and envy. Now it was naturally quite different. From Hua Fuchen's perspective, that look was completely like looking at his own daughter, which made him greatly displeased.
"Yes, Uncle Meng."
Hua Caili did not decline and immediately responded obediently. Then she took a small step forward, her jade-like hands holding up a small jade inkstone: "Caili heard that Uncle Meng is fond of calligraphy and often practices writing to refine the heart and dances with ink to cultivate the soul. I happen to have a piece of Taoqing jade, known as the king of inkstones. I have made it into an inkstone and offer it to Uncle Meng, hoping you will like it."
"And Caili personally carved it with her Glazed Cloud Sword~~" Hua Fuchen's words clearly carried the sound of gritting teeth... This old bastard really got off easy.
"Ah... this... Caili is truly thoughtful, truly thoughtful."
Meng Kongchan reached out and took it. The dignified Dreamless Divine Venerable was actually grinning almost from ear to ear.
"Such a complete and lustrous piece of Taoqing jade is truly rare and hard to come by. And carved personally by Caili, it is an unparalleled priceless treasure."
Meng Kongchan praised it with all his eloquence. He put away the Taoqing jade inkstone and fumbled on his body back and forth several times, but could not find a suitable and matching return gift. He could only suppress his embarrassment and said: "Look at me, I came in such a hurry that I forgot to prepare a meeting gift for Caili... Caili, this is your Uncle Meng's fault. After this Pure Land trip ends, Uncle will definitely prepare a big surprise for you."
A meeting gift... The clearly abnormal words and demeanor... Meng Jianxi's eyebrows twitched inexplicably, and he quickly erased the absurd thoughts that suddenly surged up.
Hua Caili lowered her head slightly, her smile beautiful: "As long as Uncle Meng likes it. And Uncle Meng has already given Caili the best gift in the world."
"Cough cough cough cough!" Hua Fuchen seemed to have choked on wind. He said seriously: "Dreamless Divine Venerable, there are important matters to discuss. Yun Che, you come too."
"Yes." Yun Che approached as instructed. Just as he came to Meng Kongchan's side, Hua Fuchen waved his hand, and an isolation barrier instantly formed.
It was perfectly reasonable for Divine Venerables to build an isolation barrier when discussing matters.
How could Hua Fuchen not perceive it? From the moment Hua Caili saw Yun Che, she had been suppressing her emotions... But the turmoil in her heart and soul was too intense. Her so-called sword heart and clear soul collapsed completely, gradually becoming chaotic to the point of making his scalp tingle.
Sure enough, the moment the isolation barrier formed, Hua Caili's immortal composure shattered completely. Like a swallow returning to its nest, she threw herself heavily into Yun Che's arms, her jade-like arms clinging tightly around his waist, using almost all her strength.
"Brother Yun, I... I really miss you... Whimper..."
Before she could finish, her words turned into sobs.
"Me too." Yun Che held her jade-like back and said softly.
Hua Fuchen turned his back, his face as black as charcoal.
"Hehe, the emotions of young people are so direct and passionate. How enviable." Meng Kongchan said with a chuckle.
He came to Hua Fuchen's side. As he walked, the Brahma Sound Stone at his waist produced a clear, calming sound.
Hua Fuchen cast a sideways glance. Before he could speak, Meng Kongchan nodded solemnly: "As expected of Brother Fuchen. You recognized at a glance that this is the Brahma Sound Stone that Yuan'er gave me."
Hua Fuchen: "??"
"Oh." Hua Fuchen responded indifferently, then casually glanced at the three-colored Brahma Sound Stone at Meng Kongchan's waist.
For a Divine Venerable, this thing was hardly even worthy of the word "ordinary."
And that casual glance made Meng Kongchan spin around in a flash, his expression spirited: "This Brahma Sound Stone is most beneficial for those of us who cultivate the soul. Yuan'er spent a full two years searching to gather this three-colored Brahma Sound Stone for me. Its shape, form, and texture were all personally carved by Yuan'er. Whenever it collides, the clear spiritual Brahma sound enters the ear, but it is Yuan'er's silent concern that enters the soul. The so-called connection between father and son is no more than this."
The corner of the Heart-Painting Divine Venerable's brow slowly cracked open with two black lines.
Meng Kongchan continued unabated: "If Brother Fuchen is envious, another day I'll have Yuan'er make one for you too. After all, you are his future father-in-law. But it might be a bit difficult to gather three colors, and besides..."
Hua Fuchen finally lost his patience. He turned around and roared: "You two, haven't you separated yet? We are still here! What kind of decorum is this sickly sweet behavior!"
"No!" Hua Caili held Yun Che even tighter, almost wishing she could merge herself into his chest.
"Ai ai ai, Brother Fuchen, I have to say something about this." Meng Kongchan raised his hand to stop him: "The two youngsters haven't seen each other for many years. It's perfectly normal that they can't control their emotions. Take you and Qu Wanxin back in the day—every time you met, you were even more clingy than these two juniors."
The corner of Hua Fuchen's mouth twitched. He fiercely flicked his sleeve and stopped talking.
"When do we come clean to Old Dian?"
When Meng Kongchan's voice sounded again, his tone had become serious.
Hua Fuchen frowned slightly and said: "After the Pure Land matter is concluded."
"Same as what I was thinking." Meng Kongchan stood side by side with him, looking down at the desolate Abyss land ahead. "If no major entanglements arise from this Pure Land gathering, let's resolve it straightforwardly... By the way, all our probing and hints toward Old Dian over the past two years—has he truly sensed nothing?"
Hua Fuchen said: "If it were someone else, they might think deeply and thus have some mental preparation. But he is, after all, Old Dian."
"His personality is as straight and hard as iron, and as fierce as fire. He has always been straightforward and detests circuitousness. Moreover, he might subconsciously never be willing to believe or accept that the two of us would actually commit..."
He paused for a long time, finally uttering those two words: "an act of betraying his friendship and loyalty."
"Betrayal?" Meng Kongchan's expression turned somewhat heavy.
He wanted to say that the emotions between a man and a woman are naturally difficult to restrain, and should not be bound by a few words. Moreover, Hua Caili had never had romantic feelings for Dian Jiuzhi... But switching perspectives, if he were Dian Luohou and his son Meng Jianyuan were Dian Jiuzhi, could he truly accept it with an open heart and no resentment?
No.
And the marriage contract between Hua Caili and Dian Jiuzhi had been actively facilitated by Hua Fuchen back then... The psychological pressure he bore was undoubtedly far greater than Meng Kongchan's.
"When the time comes, I will go to Senluo alone." Hua Fuchen's voice was calm, clearly having thought about it for a long time. "I will confess directly."
Meng Kongchan said: "I will go with you."
"No," Hua Fuchen refused. "If both of us go together, Old Dian's emotions will only be worse. Rest assured, I have a plan. The best outcome would be for Old Dian to come with me to the Pure Land and together request the Abyss Emperor to dissolve the engagement. The worst outcome... I am already prepared for it. After my matter is settled, it will be your turn."
Both knew well that after everything was revealed, the relationship among the three of them could never return to what it was in the past, no matter what.
"Caili, how many of the Soul Stars I left for you are left? Or have they all been used up?"
"Actually, I haven't been willing to use a single Soul Star."
"Eh? Does that mean... you didn't miss me that much?"
"Absolutely not. During these three years, even though I have been in the sword formation, every sword shadow I cast reflected your figure. When I close my eyes, my heart and mind are filled with different images of you. So even without the Soul Stars, I can always feel your companionship."
"And these Soul Stars—each one houses a part of your soul. Even if it's just a tiny bit, I can't bear to let them disperse."
The scalps of the two Divine Venerables simultaneously felt an unbearable tingle.
Their toes involuntarily wanted to curl into the ground.
"That tied around your wrist... is the cloth belt I left for you back then?"
"That's right! This is the first... gift you ever gave me. Of course I have to treasure it well."
"But such a crude belt is hardly worthy of you..."
"Hmph! And you still have the nerve to say that! What 'Meeting is already the best luck, why need longing to simmer the remaining years'... I want to keep it on me always, to remind you of the bad things you did back then, hmph!"
"I've promised hundreds of times... Fine, then I'll promise my Caili once more..."
The two Divine Venerables simultaneously inhaled, then exhaled a long breath.
After completing the same action in perfect synchronization, they exchanged a glance and understood each other tacitly.
"Dreamless Divine Venerable, then let's leave today's matters at that for now." Hua Fuchen said loudly, his voice penetrating the barrier, clear enough for those outside to hear.
Meng Kongchan also said loudly: "After this discussion with Heart-Painting Divine Venerable, everything is clear. At this Pure Land gathering, we await the dazzling sword stance of the Heaven-Breaking lineage."
Yun Che and Hua Caili were simultaneously separated by the power of the two Divine Venerables. The barrier collapsed, and the two Divine Venerables each took their own children and returned to their own ships, completely ignoring the reluctance of the two youngsters.
"Father God is really something."
After returning to her aunt's side, Hua Caili's resentment did not diminish. Her beautiful eyes frequently turned toward the Dreamweaving Divine Vessel that had already departed far.
Hua Qingying said softly: "Life is long, no need to indulge in momentary pleasures. The obstacles between you and Yun Che are gradually weakening. More importantly, your heart is only for him, and his heart is only for you. You already surpass too many in this world—those with shallow feelings, false feelings, betraying feelings, weak feelings, or those who are infatuated but cannot obtain."
"After all obstacles are gone and you two marry, even if you are inseparable for tens of thousands of years, no one will stop you."
The word "marriage" was far too beautiful for Hua Caili at this moment. It drifted from Hua Qingying's lips into her heart and lingered there, refusing to disperse for a long time.
She leaned beside Hua Qingying, her hands supporting her cheeks. Not knowing what she was thinking, her cheeks gradually turned pink, and she smiled faintly.
The young girl's lingering thoughts seemed to touch Hua Qingying. Watching the girl's gradually entranced beautiful eyes, the corner of her lips involuntarily twitched ever so slightly for a moment.
Wanxin, their beginning once filled me with deep concern... But fortunately, your daughter has finally escaped the calamities and misfortunes you once suffered.
Perhaps heaven wants to bestow all that it owed you onto your daughter... She and Yun Che will surely be harmonious and happy, and will make up for the regrets of you and your brother back then ten thousandfold.
---
The speed of the Dreamweaving Divine Vessel began to slow down.
And the concentration of Abyss Dust suddenly decreased at an astonishing rate.
Not only the Abyss Dust, but even the elements quickly became exceptionally pure. Gradually, for the first time since Yun Che had fallen into the Abyss, he smelled a refreshing sensation in the world's air.
Yun Che opened his eyes and stood up to gaze into the distance... It seemed the Pure Land was near.
The presence of Abyss Dust kept visibility in the Abyss world very low. As far as Yun Che's sight could reach, he actually saw a huge black mark rising vertically from the land below, piercing straight through the sky.
And that sky was unstained by gray, so pure it was almost extravagant, almost illusory.
As the Dreamweaving Divine Vessel approached, that black mark rapidly enlarged in his view, from several li to dozens of li, then to hundreds of li... It was at this moment that it finally revealed its true appearance in Yun Che's sight.
It was actually a towering giant tower.
"Brother Xi," Yun Che asked with a frown, "Is the Pure Land... on top of this tower?"
"Of course." Meng Jianxi's gaze was strange. "Brother Yuan doesn't know?"
Yun Che shrugged his brows: "I always knew that the Peerless Pure Land was suspended high in the sky, so I naturally assumed it was a floating heavenly realm. I never thought it would be atop a towering giant tower."
Meng Jianxi also laughed: "Brother Yuan has never been to the Pure Land in person, so it's perfectly normal to think that. This tower has existed since the beginning of the Abyss Emperor's creation of the world. It is said that the Abyss Emperor personally built it, and it is this tower that has held the Pure Land aloft in the sky, looking down upon all worlds."
Yun Che naturally asked: "Even if the Pure Land is vast, given the Pure Land's resources and the abilities of the various Divine Officials, making it eternally float in the air would be an easy task. Why would this tower be needed?"
Meng Jianxi said: "Brother Yuan also wants to ask what exists inside the giant tower, doesn't he?"
Yun Che nodded.
"Hahaha." Meng Jianxi laughed: "Actually, I asked the same questions to my father god, and his answer has always been 'I don't know, and there's no need to know.' After all, it is the Pure Land."
"I understand." Yun Che smiled and nodded, then stopped asking.
Floating cities, not to mention the God Realm, even the lower realm he came from could achieve. He truly never expected that the Pure Land, existing high in the sky, was not floating above the world but was held aloft by a tower.
Without a doubt... extremely incongruous.
"This tower is called the Nameless Tower." Meng Jianxi looked into the distance and said: "Literal meaning. This tower has no name because the Abyss Emperor never named it. And since it was personally built by the Abyss Emperor, no one beneath him is qualified to name it. So it has always been called the 'Nameless Tower.'"
The Pure Land was getting closer, and the sky and atmosphere became increasingly pure. Gradually, the area ahead began to tend toward a white radiance that seemed not to belong to this world. Within the white radiance, faint traces of dazzling gold could be seen.
Finally, the Dreamweaving Divine Vessel came to a stop.
Ahead, three richly dressed men approached side by side.
"We welcome Dreamless Divine Venerable, and welcome all honored guests from the Weaving Dream Divine Kingdom. We have been waiting for some time. We respectfully invite you to enter the Pure Land as guests."
The three bowed in greeting. Being near the Pure Land, even when facing a Divine Venerable of a divine kingdom, they were neither humble nor arrogant.
"Thank you for your trouble." Meng Zangji nodded lightly, stepped forward, and gestured: "Your Excellency, please."
Stepping out of the Dreamweaving Divine Vessel, ahead was a huge light boundary.
Beyond the light boundary was the most revered and lofty place in this world, what the world called the Peerless Pure Land.
