Ji Feiyang received many blessings today. As the chief disciple of a major sect, he was very popular.

However, most of those blessings were meant to help him take another step forward, or to improve his cultivation.

His parents also hoped that he would become a fourth-grade alchemist as soon as possible.

No one had ever said such a beautiful wish to Ji Feiyang: that he would be well every year.

Even when he was seriously injured during a mission and almost died in that forbidden area, his parents only sent him a precious healing treasure.

He only said one thing: that a mere mission could cause such serious injury, which was a disgrace to their sect's reputation.

But they encountered a high-level demon beast that time.

Ji Feiyang was speechless. From then on, he worked even harder in his cultivation, focusing not only on alchemy but also on his overall cultivation level.

Looking at the line of words in his hand, he was deeply moved.

Ji Feiyang's slender fingertips caressed the top of the spiritual scroll again and again. At this moment, he was genuinely curious about the woman opposite him.

He wondered what a woman would be like who cared about his safety and silently wished him well.

This is the only truly special person Ji Feiyang has ever encountered in his life.

Everyone was only interested in his brilliance, and even hoped that he could do better.

But this girl only wished for his well-being.

……

Deep winter has passed, and early spring has arrived.

The Xuanling Sect returned to its peaceful days of cultivation, a tranquil and relaxing existence.

Ye Yueyue went to class as usual that day, but when she entered the classroom, it was empty. She was filled with questions.

Has the Xuanling Sect run away?

She went to check on Sword Peak again, but there was no one there either.

With no one to teach, Ye Yueyue left Sword Peak and finally saw a crowd on the main peak.

As she approached, she discovered that the crowd was gathered on a tower on the side of the main peak.

They surrounded it, but the tower was very tall.

For a moment, everyone was discussing it.

It took Ye Yueyue a while to understand the whole story.

"The Mystic Spirit Tower will be open soon!"

"What is this? Why is everyone gathered here today?" a passing disciple asked, puzzled.

This bewildered look was exactly the same as Ye Yueyue's, and many disciples who came after hearing the noise also had the same expression.

Most people were used to it, and some enthusiastic disciples even began to explain:

"This is the sect's trial tower. There was an unusual event this morning, and the elders notified everyone in the Xuanling Sect to cease all activities. Almost everyone in the sect has come, and everyone is waiting for it to open."

After speaking, the man pointed to the bottom of the Xuanling Tower, and Ye Yueyue looked in that direction.

At the base of an intricate and towering building, a door trembled slightly, as if it were about to open.

Having visited the main peak countless times, Ye Yueyue had also been curious about this tower during her visits, as it stood tall on the main peak and could be seen at a glance, making it hard not to attract attention.

But no one had come in or out, and Ye Yueyue was focused on her cultivation, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

I didn't expect this to be the Trial Tower?

Someone asked, puzzled, "What's the use of the Trial Tower?"

"You're obviously a new disciple, aren't you?"

"Yeah, how do you know?"

"Because only you new disciples don't know that this is the Xuanling Tower, which undergoes an anomaly once every ten years. Whenever the gate opens, all disciples can enter it for training."

The senior brother explained, "The Xuanling Tower has seven levels. Each level you clear rewards you with spiritual energy, cultivation level, and so on."

One of the disciples exclaimed in surprise, "Is it really that good?"

"What if we can't get through? Will it be dangerous?" someone asked, their voice filled with worry.

Ye Yueyue also wanted to ask this question, but before she could speak, someone else asked it for her, so she pricked up her ears in the crowd to listen.

Some of the older senior brothers explained with a smile: "Don't worry, you'll be given a jade token when you go in. If you encounter danger, you can crush it to teleport out."

He paused for a moment after speaking, then added, "But each person can only enter the Xuanling Tower once. The opportunities there are great. Once you come out, you can't go back in. The higher the level you pass, the better the rewards. Entering the seventh level brings even greater opportunities."

"Can't we go in next time either?"

"Yes." The senior students who had gone in nodded in agreement.

"What kind of opportunity is there on the seventh floor? Divine weapons?" a disciple asked curiously.

"I don't know, maybe it is, but very few people enter the seventh floor, and none of them are unknown in the Nine Provinces after they come out."

Ye Yueyue listened to the whole thing and pondered thoughtfully.

If that's the case, then this jade pendant shouldn't be handled carelessly, unless it's about to break. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; once missed, it's gone forever.

Each floor offers a reward, which is spiritual energy cultivation. So even if she has to climb, she'll climb several more floors.

Besides, there was the jade pendant to cover their losses; it would have been over long ago.

Charge! Charge as long as you won't die!

A thousand thoughts raced through her mind, and many ideas flashed by. However, only a few breaths had passed in reality before Ye Yueyue's lofty ambitions were aroused.

She had thought she would have to stay in the Xuanling Sect for a while longer and cultivate slowly. Ye Yueyue had even considered whether to go into seclusion for a few years, but then an opportunity suddenly came her way.

Is there such a good thing?

It should be understood that without opportunities, the cultivation speed of a normal cultivator is actually not high. A normal person is considered a genius if they reach the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of twenty, and it is also very difficult to reach the Core Formation stage at the age of one hundred.

Of course, aside from those geniuses who lack opportunity, there are also some rare and exceptional geniuses.

These people are usually favored by the heavens, surrounded by opportunities. Luck is also a part of strength, and this saying is even more applicable in the Nine Provinces Continent.

"How many people have passed the seventh level? What are their names?" Some disciples who had only recently joined the sect asked, their eyes full of curiosity.

Ye Yueyue also became interested.

The senior brother looked at the side wall at the bottom of the tower, his tone filled with longing: "Very few. Our Xuanling Sect has existed for two thousand years. The Xuanling Tower has existed on the main peak since the beginning. It is opened once every ten years, and only a few dozen people have made it through the seven levels."

"The names of those who have passed the seventh level of the Xuanling Tower are carved on that wall."

Following the direction he pointed, the crowd saw a bronze plaque beside the slightly trembling gate, engraved with several names.

Some disciples curiously approached to take a closer look, but because the gate was shaking so violently, no one dared to get too close, keeping only a few steps away.

This was enough for them to see things clearly.

The disciples who saw him exclaimed in surprise, "Gao Guang? Isn't that the sword cultivator who ascended to immortality a thousand years ago? His legend still circulates throughout the continent. It is said that his swordsmanship was incredibly refined, and he was actually from our Xuanling Sect?"

"Yes."

"And Chu Tongfang? That number one talisman cultivator of the Nine Provinces Continent, the genius talisman cultivator who ascended a hundred years ago!"

"Who is Chu Tongfang? I've never heard of him."

One disciple glanced at him and added, "His cultivation level isn't high, so it's normal that some people haven't heard of him, but every talisman cultivator knows him."
