Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 748 Climbing High
Inside the Wangtianlou (Viewing the Sky Tower).

"Something interesting."

Li Rui walked with his hands behind his back, quite easily, up the steps leading to the second floor.

A strange purple light flashed around him and then disappeared.

There was almost no pause, making it much easier than for the others on the floor.

Let's look at the first floor again.

Many cultivators wore somber expressions.

Some were even at the Nascent Soul stage.

This suggests that climbing the Wangtianlou Tower is not as easy as one might imagine.

Not bad.

The Sky-Gazing Tower is not just a place to observe combat strength, but a place to examine it from multiple dimensions.

Simply put, it can be understood as talent, and the realization of that talent.

The purpose of Tianji Daojun establishing the Wangtian Tower was to select promising juniors.

Talent is certainly a crucial factor.

Those old monsters who relied on years of age to reach the Nascent Soul realm were naturally beneath the notice of the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord.

However, realizing one's talent is also an extremely important aspect.

Specifically.

It refers to combat strength at the same age.

Otherwise, like that innate Dao embryo of the Ji family, his talent is high, but his temperament is not good enough, so he cannot realize his talent. Such a person is also not capable of great things and cannot reach great heights.

The purple light just now actually drew the cultivator's soul to a special space where a demon beast's soul resided, used to test its strength.

Only by destroying the demonic beast's soul can one ascend to the next level.

The correspondence between Heaven and Man.

Distraction corresponds to distraction.

Extremely fair.

of course.

Although a balance has been achieved in terms of realm, the higher the realm, the greater the advantage.

Let me just say one thing.

Throughout history, none of those who have ascended the nine-story tower have been at the Celestial Realm; they have all been at the Divine Transformation Realm.

We arrived at the second floor.

The number of people immediately decreased by more than half.

There were only a hundred or so people.

Li Rui was not among the first to enter Wangtianlou; in fact, he was quite late. So when he reached the second floor, all the geniuses had already gone to higher floors.

Looking at those cultivators who were sitting cross-legged, breathing heavily, and putting all their effort into breaking through to the next realm.

There was no stopping.

"I wonder if the person from the Nine-Story Tower will be able to emerge again this time."

Cui He said with a grin.

He followed behind Li Rui and easily climbed to the second floor.

As a prodigy of the Cui family, he naturally wouldn't stop at the first three levels.

Li Rui did not answer.

They just kept climbing the stairs.

Three floors.

Four floors.

Five floors.

In the blink of an eye, Li Rui and Cui He had reached the fifth floor.

The cultivators on the fifth floor all turned their gazes to Li Rui and Cui He when they saw someone coming up.

"Who is this person?"

Those who can climb to the fifth floor are all absolute geniuses.

There are no nameless people here.

"It must be someone from the Cui family."

A young cultivator said calmly.

Although they didn't recognize Li Rui in his disguise, they knew Cui He.

Seeing Li Rui and Cui He traveling together, this was naturally the guess.

The cultivator on the fifth floor quickly withdrew his gaze.

The Cui family was a prominent clan in the Central Plains.

Their strength is unfathomable.

It's not surprising that someone can climb to the fifth floor; what would surprise people is if an unknown minor sect produced someone who could climb to the fifth floor.

"That's about right."

Cui He stretched.

They did not proceed up the steps leading to the sixth floor.

He not only has the memories of Huang Longzi, but also the memories of Huang Long Daojun.

Therefore, the situation of Wangtianlou is very clear.

With his current cultivation level at the Celestial Realm, reaching the fifth floor is already his limit, and there is almost no possibility of advancing any further.

Cui He is very self-aware.

I randomly found a spacious spot and sat down on the ground.

"Brother, your younger brother can't stay with you."

Li Rui nodded: "Okay." The two did not use magic to conceal their conversation, which further confirmed to onlookers that Li Rui was a member of the Cui family.

After saying this, Cui He immediately entered a meditative state.

Being able to cultivate on the fifth floor is a blessing bestowed by Wangtian Tower, so it should be cherished.

He was hoping to use this opportunity to solidify his early-stage Celestial Realm cultivation and then advance to the mid-stage Celestial Realm.

Li Rui stopped looking at Cui He.

He simply gazed calmly at the sixth floor.

'It does resemble the white jade steps of the Taixu Daoist Temple.'

'However, its subtlety is slightly inferior.'

He thought to himself.

'Perhaps the steps of this Sky-Gazing Tower were modeled after the Taixu Daoist Temple.'

Thinking.

He took another step and landed steadily.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Li Rui appeared on the seventh floor.

Compared to the previous floors.

The number of people on this floor was pitifully small.

However, only two hands are counted.

"This person is..."

Seeing someone else enter the seventh floor, Ji Mingyue's eyes flashed with surprise, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Why does this look so familiar?"

Ji Mingyue frowned slightly.

She was born with double pupils, which gave her a far greater sensitivity to cause and effect than others.

unnoticed.

A faint purple light emanated from her double pupils.

Also at this time.

The middle-aged Taoist priest also turned his head, and his gaze met hers.

"Well"

Ji Mingyue let out a muffled groan.

He felt as if his soul was being hammered by a giant sledgehammer, the pain was so intense that he couldn't even stand up and fell to the side.

A large hand supported him.

Ji Fan's voice came to my ears.

"My younger sister acted rashly; please forgive her, fellow Daoist."

Ji Fan glanced at Li Rui, who had just climbed to the seventh floor, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

Although Ji Mingyue was the second in the Ji family and was slightly inferior to him, her innate double pupils were still extremely remarkable.

But just now, he actually lost to the middle-aged Taoist priest after they locked eyes.

He can tell.

It was because the middle-aged Taoist's divine soul was too powerful that he directly crushed Ji Mingyue, which is why he could cause Ji Mingyue to suffer a great loss with just one glance.

"Abrupt?"

Li Rui said it casually.

Ji Fan didn't even say anything more. He took out a pill with extremely rich spiritual energy from his storage bag and threw it at Li Rui: "This Soul Condensing Blood Pill is very useful for treating injuries to the soul. Consider it an apology to you, fellow Daoist."

Li Rui grasped the elixir firmly.

He raised his eyebrows.

The Great Elixir of the Middle Stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.

Moreover, it can enhance one's spiritual essence, making it quite valuable.

It was clearly Ji Mingyue who suffered a spiritual injury, yet Ji Fan gave her the elixir.

'At least they know the rules.'

But that is precisely why.

Li Rui, on the contrary, became even more wary of Ji Fan.

A genius with exceptional talent who also knows when to advance and retreat should certainly be valued.

Put away the pills.

Li Rui then stopped visiting the Ji siblings.

The others also looked away.

A little episode passed.

The group climbed up the seventh floor again.

Ji Fan lived up to his reputation as the number one prodigy of the Ji family, easily reaching the eighth level. Ji Mingyue, on the other hand, perhaps due to the injury to her soul, was completely stuck at the seventh level.

He came up too.

Ji Fan turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged Taoist priest from before, a slight thought stirring in his heart.

He couldn't see through this person.

That's why we chose to reconcile.

There are too many monstrous talents in the cultivation world, and he knows the importance of cultivating in a low-key manner, which is why he is unwilling to cause trouble.

Ji Fan withdrew his gaze and calmly stared at the steps not far away.

This was his real purpose in coming here.

"Nine-story building!"
