Shen Yuan Ring

After leaving the Grand Steward's room, Ji Daoyi and Wang Yueyue both planned to get some rest.

"Dao Yi, wait!" Just as the two were about to part, Wang Yueyue called out to Ji Dao Yi, who was turning to leave.

Ji Daoyi asked in confusion, "Sister Yueyue, is there anything else?"

"Bring it here!"

Wang Yueyue stretched out her hand, as if to say, "If you don't give it to me, I won't let you leave."

For a moment he didn't realize what had happened, his mind racing as he tried to recall when he had taken Wang Yueyue's things, before it suddenly dawned on him.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Here, as promised, this is the secret gift I'll give you after this mission is completed."

Ji Daoyi took out a bottle of Breakthrough Pills, twice the amount given by the Grand Steward.

Wang Yueyue opened the package and was overjoyed: "This, this is too much! I only need five high-quality Breakthrough Pills to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and you gave me ten! That's more than the Grand Steward gave me!"

“It’s already a gift. Besides, if you can’t use it all, you can give it to your friends or sell it to get cultivation resources. Otherwise, how can we expect Sister Yueyue to still be stuck in the same place when we break through to the Nascent Soul Realm?”

"Now that you mention it, I feel like you didn't give me enough. No, give me some more."

"Haha, that's all, I'm outta here." With that, he vanished in a flash.

Wang Yueyue chuckled as she watched Ji Daoyi disappear from sight.

Looking at the Breakthrough Pill in her hand, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality: "I, Wang Yueyue, actually broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm earlier than Ji Feiyu and the others. I never expected that the group that no one wanted to take on was the most valuable in this training camp. If they knew that I obtained the Breakthrough Pill they had been dreaming of so easily, I wonder if they would regret not choosing a group in the first place."

After returning to the inner courtyard as if he had 'escaped,' Ji Daoyi was at a loss for what to do, so he sat alone in the square of the inner courtyard to think.

(What should I do next? Go into seclusion to cultivate? But I've only just broken through to the Tendon Refining Realm, and sitting still and cultivating won't lead to any significant breakthroughs; do missions? They're all in seclusion, and doing missions alone is boring.)

Just as he was deep in thought, two bystanders ran past him, talking as they ran.

"Someone has attempted to break through the Tower of Fantasy again! Let's go check it out! I heard it's a new member of the training group this time."

"I know, it's Fei Yu who led Group 4. He was the first in the group to break through to the Tendon Refining Realm, Ji Fan. He broke through to the mid-stage of Tendon Refining Realm in just over half a year since he came to the inner courtyard."

"I'm so envious. I heard that as long as their training group breaks through to the Tendon Refining Realm within a year, they can directly enter the Inner Academy for further study without having to participate in the Outer Academy assessment. Back then, we had to overcome many obstacles to enter the Inner Academy."

"Stop dawdling, or we won't get a good spot."

Upon hearing their conversation, Ji Dao's eyes lit up: "That's right, I can challenge the Tower of Illusion! How could I have forgotten about it? I've wanted to challenge it before, but back then I was just starting out and didn't have much practical experience. Now it's time to challenge the Tower of Illusion in the inner courtyard."

Tower of Illusions

By this time, quite a few people had gathered around the Tower of Illusion. Although it wasn't a sea of ​​people, many areas were crowded with people.

When Ji Daoyi arrived, he didn't immediately challenge the Tower of Illusion. Instead, like everyone else, he watched to see how far Ji Fan could go and see if he could learn any useful information.

"Look, Ji Fan has already passed the fourth level."

"That's already pretty good; his completion speed is faster than most people's."

"I wonder what difficulty level Ji Fan chose!"

"Either easy or normal! Choosing the hard level is just asking for trouble."

Do you think he can get past the sixth level?

"I think it's very unlikely. After all, he's only at the mid-stage of the Tendon Refining realm. It's almost impossible for him to pass the sixth level unless he reaches the limit of each realm before breaking through. Otherwise, it's too difficult for him to pass the sixth level at the mid-stage."

"That's true, I also broke through to the sixth level after breaking through the Meridian Refining Realm."

Listening to their conversation, Ji Daoyi realized that passing through each level wouldn't be so easy, so he decided to personally test the Tower of Illusion to see what it was all about.

While everyone was still wondering how long it would take Ji Fan to clear the fifth floor, he had already arrived at the gate of the Tower of Illusions.

Entering the Tower of Illusions does not require the help of others; one can directly enter the first floor of the Tower of Illusions simply by using the inner court disciple's points token.

As Ji Dao brought his inner courtyard token close to the gate of the Illusion Tower, the token flew into the tower with a whoosh. Then, a voice suddenly rang in his ear, "Ji family inner courtyard disciple, the token's aura matches your identity. Do you wish to enter the Illusion Tower?"

"Enter!"

Then Ji Daoyi vanished in a flash, entering the Tower of Illusion directly.

As soon as Ji Dao entered, he began to look around and found that there was nothing there at all, just a vast expanse of white. "This is the first floor of the Illusion Tower? It doesn't seem like anything special! It's all bare."

He had barely finished speaking when he heard a voice echo from within the space: "Welcome to the Tower of Illusion, I am the Tower Spirit Duoduo!"

"The Tower of Illusions is divided into three levels: Easy, Normal, and Hard. Each level corresponds to a different level of difficulty. The higher the difficulty level, the more rewards you will receive. Only by choosing the Hard level can you break the Illusion Ranking record and obtain special rewards."

Please select a challenge level! Note that each difficulty level can only be selected once; once you downgrade, you cannot select it again!

“Difficult, the other levels aren’t challenging either!” Ji Daoyi raised an eyebrow and decisively chose the most challenging one.

"Challenger: Ji Daoyi. Select difficulty level. Challenge begins in three seconds!"

"three"

"two"

"One"

As the number of phantom figures decreased to one, ten physical phantom figures appeared after the white mist around Ji Daoyi dissipated. Their cultivation level was only at the Skin Refining Realm, and based on the cultivation aura they exuded, they were all at the ninth level of the Skin Refining Realm.

Upon seeing the cultivation levels of these individuals, Ji Daoyi curled his lip and said, "How much do they underestimate me? Ten people at the ninth level of the Skin Refining Realm? I could take them down with just one finger!"

Just as he was about to make a move, he discovered that his cultivation level was only at the ninth level of the Skin Refining Realm.

"They're waiting for me here. They want me to take on ten people of the same level by myself. As expected of a difficult level, but I like it!"

Ji Daoyi licked his lips and carefully assessed his condition. He found that apart from his cultivation level being the ninth level of the Skin Refining Realm, nothing else had changed, which made him feel slightly better.

Even so, he had to take this challenge seriously. He didn't want to fail before he even got started, failing on the very first level.

If word gets out, he will not only lose face for himself, but also for his parents.
