As soon as the old man's voice faded, a translucent beam of light shot up from the southernmost part of the 'City of Immortals', extending all the way towards the sky!
This beam of light was extremely thin and was barely visible from Shun Long's location, and yet without a doubt it was there. Although Shun Long wasn't certain about it, if he had to guess, then that light was most likely related to the 'Heavenly Tower' that the old man had just mentioned.
For now, though, Shun Long had already put that matter at the back of his mind and was instead focused on his imminent breakthrough. At this point, the energy in his body was practically overflowing after consuming dozens of the golden skeleton's pills, causing his muscles to brim with power.
With his eyes closed, he allowed the remnant streams of energy inside him to travel through his meridians, before his muscles, bones, tendons, and blood, all greedily absorbed them like a group of voracious beasts!
