Her soul seemed to have left her body, floating in mid-air, giving the impression that everything was magnified before her.

In a daze, Shi Xuan took in all the movements in the entire room.

The seemingly calm room was actually experiencing an inexplicable undercurrent of tension that they were unaware of.

Shi Xuan saw a barely perceptible, invisible door flash around them, just like the green silk light on the fifth floor.

When it appears, there is only a slight ripple, and then it disappears without a trace.

This is much harder than catching the green light on the fifth floor. No wonder the people here haven't been able to find a way up for several days.

When Xuan withdrew his divine sense and the power of all things, he could no longer perceive the invisible door.

"I think I've found the door to the eighth floor," Shi Xuan said to Lu Shenzhi.

The four people on the other end didn't show it on their faces, but their ears were already perked up, not wanting to miss a single word Shi Xuan said.

Shi Xuan didn't hide anything and shared her discovery.

That invisible door can only be discovered by concentrating all one's divine sense. Capturing it is even more difficult.

Shi Xuan explained it very clearly, and everyone understood it immediately, but it was extremely difficult for anyone to actually discover it on their own.

After listening to what Shi Xuan said, all six of them sat down as Shi Xuan had just done, closed their eyes, and used all the divine sense they could to perceive everything around them.

At this moment, Lu Wenxing felt a sense of sudden enlightenment. His breakthrough from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage was a qualitative leap, and all his divine senses had also been elevated to a higher level.

Moreover, he had a feeling, whether it was a misperception or not, that the snow-white inner core that had inexplicably merged into his body seemed to have formed some kind of peculiar connection with him.

The inner core not only allowed him to advance rapidly, but it also seemed that he was more adept at using his divine sense than usual.

For example, right now, when he tried his best to sense that ethereal door, it was as if he had received some kind of assistance, making him many times more sensitive than when he was on the fifth floor.

Not long after, they actually "saw" that door that had flashed by.

"I saw it!" Lu Wenxing shouted excitedly, unable to hide his joy.

Seeing that he had made progress, Shi Xuan and Lu Shenzhi urged him to go first and guided Lu Wenxing to capture the mysterious door.

With help from both inside and outside, Lu Wenxing quickly figured out the way. In less than an hour, he actually found the door and disappeared from the spot.

The four people were dumbfounded by this action.

The difference between people is truly enormous. They've been searching for so many days without a single clue, while others arrive, immediately reach the Nascent Soul stage, and then ascend to the next level!

They all knew this person; he was the only one among the top talents who came in who was ranked outside the top fifty.

His luck was incredible. Leaving aside how he got in, just consider that under such circumstances, the top two people on the Prodigy Ranking helped him to the eighth floor first instead of leaving on their own. How did they manage that?

In comparison, their fellow disciples... well, they never even considered helping their fellow disciples.

Watching Lu Wenxing successfully reach the eighth floor wasn't the most painful thing. The most painful thing was that even though Shi Xuan had already told them how to get up, they tried their best and mobilized all their divine senses, but they still couldn't see any transparent door.

Although they had good aptitude and their cultivation techniques were all very advanced, this time, due to their eagerness to make progress, they didn't stay on the fourth and fifth floors for very long.

They had come here using defensive magical artifacts to protect the four layers of tornado forest. They had also seen the green light threads on the fifth layer, but they hadn't paid any attention to them, assuming they were just decorations in the air.

This did allow them to reach the seventh floor before others, but they ended up trapped on the seventh floor, unsure when they would find an exit.

After seeing Lu Wenxing off, Shi Xuan and Lu Shenzhi sat down together and each searched for the door.

This was no longer difficult for them; in less than half an hour, the two disappeared one after the other. The four who had been there earlier stared at each other, unsure of what to do.

The crowd outside the tower could no longer maintain its quiet atmosphere; a group of onlookers were in an uproar over the speed at which the three people moved.

"What's going on? Am I seeing things? Did all three of them go up to the eighth floor?"

"Not only that, the last one was also the first one to go up!"

"What's going on with him? He formed his Nascent Soul after going in, and then went up to the eighth floor!"

"I don't understand it, but the first four are still standing in the same spot."

"Why is it suddenly going so fast now? Could it be that all the difficulties we faced on the first and second floors were just an act?"

"Who said they were faking it? Maybe they felt it was too crowded to travel with the main group, so they let them go ahead for a few days."

...

Those who haven't seen what's inside would never guess what happened inside the tower.

Meanwhile, the resident elders in the western border of Qian Yuan were almost moved to tears of joy.

What incredible luck! They've really made a name for themselves this year. Not only did all six disciples enter the nine-story pagoda together, but three of them even made it to the eighth floor!

The other three also did well, and have now reached the sixth floor.

Compared to the first few days when everyone was worried about the six of them staying on the same floor, the outcome had completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

When Shi Xuan arrived at the eighth floor, she found that she was the only one left.

If the second senior brother arrived earlier than them and might have gone somewhere else, then the fact that the eldest senior brother arrived almost at the same time as her but is nowhere to be seen indicates that on the eighth floor, everyone is isolated and cannot see others.

In the vast eight-story building, only Shi Xuan remained.

She still doesn't know what the test and reward of the eighth level are.

Shi Xuan tentatively took two steps forward. The hall was dimly lit and completely silent, with no other reaction whatsoever.

Everything seemed calm at the moment, but no one knew what unexpected situation might occur next. Shi Xuan was on high alert, slowly walking around the hall, but there was no movement.

She was back to square one, and Shi Xuan decided to walk to the middle of the hall to take a look.

Just like before, after carefully walking to the middle of the hall, the entire hall suddenly lit up.

We didn't know where the light source was, but the whole hall suddenly lit up.

Then, right across from where she came from, the wall, like a phantom shadow, gradually blurred and then coalesced to form a human-shaped phantom.

The phantom made a hand seal, and a few breaths later, an invisible wave of energy emanated from his hand. He turned around and struck the wall behind him.
