Leng Yuexi used the Frost Sword Formation to break the Four Directions Demon-Subduing and Killing Formation. She did not let her guard down and pressed her advantage, annihilating all four Nascent Soul stage figures.

The advantages of formations became immediately apparent, especially in battles against opponents of higher levels.

She passed the test on the twenty-seventh floor, and a special staircase appeared.

Leng Yuexi noticed that this staircase was different from the previous one, but she still carefully went in.

She arrived at the special space that Qin Feng had been in before.

A portrait of an old man hangs on the wall, and below it is a square table with a jade token on it.

Leng Yuexi did not approach immediately, but carefully examined this special space.

Before she could examine it closely, the old man in the painting stepped out; it was none other than the old Taoist Qingchen.

The old Taoist priest Qingchen muttered to himself, "What's going on? There's been no movement for so many years, how come a boy appeared just now, and now a girl has come? Has the Southern Region changed?"

When the old Taoist priest came to his senses, he found Leng Yuexi looking at him calmly.

The old Taoist priest noticed that she was very calm, without the excitement or fear one would expect when meeting an important person, let alone any admiration; she only showed the most basic courtesy to an elder.

Leng Yuexi's clear, cold voice rang out, "This humble woman greets Senior. Was this Tower of Pride established by Senior?"

As he answered, the old Taoist Qingchen sized up Leng Yuexi. “That’s right, you’re right. This Tower of Pride was built by me and others. You’re very clever.”

Faced with the praise, Leng Yuexi remained calm and asked, "May I ask who you are, senior?"

The old Daoist Qingchen stroked his beard. "My Daoist name is Qingchen, and I am from the Qingxuan Sect of the Holy Domain! You have good talent; you have already reached the Nascent Soul stage at the age of eighteen, and your foundation is very solid. Would you like to join my Qingyun Sect?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Leng Yuexi shook her head, "Thank you for your praise, senior, but I do not wish to join a sect for the time being."

Qingchen, the old Taoist, twitched at the corner of his mouth. He had been rejected twice in one day, which was a very embarrassing thing for a royal realm expert.

He asked with a stern face, "Do you know that kid named Qin Feng?"

Upon hearing Qin Feng's name, Leng Yuexi raised an eyebrow. "Senior, do you know him?"

Old Daoist Qingchen snorted coldly, "He's just as ungrateful as you, refusing my invitation."

Leng Yuexi smiled faintly, "That's normal. He's not the kind of person who likes to be restrained."

The old Taoist priest looked at her meaningfully. "Oh, it seems you know him quite well?"

Leng Yuexi regained her composure. "You could say we've known each other for a long time."

The old Taoist priest did not dwell on the matter, but continued to advise:

"Are you really not going to consider this? The Central Sacred Domain is not comparable to a small place like the Southern Domain. If you join my Qingyun Sect, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you'll soar to the top."

Leng Yuexi shook her head again.

The old Taoist priest was furious. "Do you even know what realm I'm at?"

Leng Yuexi shook her head, "I don't know, but I can't beat them now, it doesn't matter what realm I'm in."

The old Taoist priest said again, "Fine, do as you please. You are the second one to trigger the condition. I can answer a question for you."

Leng Yuexi thought for a moment, "What rewards will I get for clearing the Tower of Prodigies?"

The old Taoist stroked his beard.

"Spirit stones, treasures, and cultivation techniques are definitely included. You will also gain the right to use a teleportation array once. You should know that the Southern Region is very far away from the Central Region."

Furthermore, the Tower of Prodigies was jointly constructed by several forces within the Holy Domain. If you manage to reach the top, it will attract the attention of these forces. If you gain their favor, you will soar to great heights.

Leng Yuexi asked calmly, "That's it?"

The old Taoist priest was so angry he jumped up and down. "What are you saying, little girl? Do you think everyone is like you? In the Holy Domain, it's very difficult to join a major power, you know?"

Leng Yuexi did not argue with him. "Senior, is there anything else? If not, I'm going to continue my journey."

The old Taoist Qingchen waved his hand, and the illusory figure vanished instantly.

He was really screwed. Two young men in a row didn't take him seriously, and both of them had an unfathomable aura about them.

When Leng Yuexi heard the so-called benefits he had just mentioned, what could slightly tempt her was the opportunity to teleport, since it could save a lot of time.

She did not linger in this special space, but instead headed towards the twenty-eighth floor.

...

Outside the Tianjiao Tower, many people were staring at Leng Yuexi's signboard.

When Leng Yuexi's name appeared on the 28th floor, it caused another sensation.

"Another prodigy, no less talented than Qin Feng, has appeared. In just over a day, he has reached the 28th floor, which surpasses Yan Yong."

"I heard that these two are elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect. The Heavenly Sword Sect has really struck gold."

Shen Qianjun and his granddaughter Shen Mengying were at a loss for words, unsure of what expression to use to convey their shock.

Feng Ji, Bai Yanbing, and other Nascent Soul cultivators were once again shocked. They thought Qin Feng alone was enough to surprise them, but they didn't expect Leng Yuexi to appear as well.

Feng Ji's murderous intent was about to be revealed.

Tang Yan's composed face was about to crumble.

He was both envious and resentful; a little devil was about to erupt in his twisted and perverse mind.

Yan Yong of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect couldn't hold back any longer. He walked up to the steward in charge of registration and said, "I want to challenge the Tower of Heavenly Pride. Call me if there's a spot available."

The steward was in a state of shock. Qin Feng and Leng Yuexi had both passed through his hands, especially Qin Feng, who had paid 10,000 spirit stones.

Hearing Yan Yong's request, he immediately came to his senses and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Not only Yan Yong was spurred on, but everyone else was also inspired by Qin Feng and Leng Yuexi, and their enthusiasm for conquering the Tower of Pride soared.
