The pagoda was very tall, and because of the limitations imposed by his magical powers, Xiao Feng could only climb up step by step, while also being careful not to be discovered by the other patrolling monks inside the pagoda.
The pagoda has a total of forty-eight stories.
When Xiao Feng actually entered the pagoda and began to climb, he realized that this was also a test for him.
In the first twenty floors, Xiao Feng was unaware that the pressure exerted on him by the pagoda was increasing with each floor.
But the twentieth floor seems to be a critical point.
When Xiao Feng stepped into the twenty-first floor, he immediately felt a dark and oppressive force pressing down on him.
Although this was not too heavy for Xiao Feng, it aroused his vigilance.
Xiao Feng continued climbing upwards, and when he reached the twenty-second floor, the pressure that had been weighing on him became even more pronounced.
Xiao Feng keenly sensed that the pressure seemed to be increasing exponentially with each layer.
Xiao Feng continued climbing upwards.
When Xiao Feng climbed to the fortieth floor, he was drenched in sweat.
Because he couldn't use his magic, he had no way to alleviate the fatigue caused by the extreme pressure on his body.
Xiao Feng finally understood why there were no more monks guarding the Green Master's Relic above the thirtieth floor.
The restrictions imposed by the pagoda certainly didn't only apply to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng noticed that the monks patrolling the area were also unable to use their spiritual power.
In other words, they have to patrol the thirtieth floor and bear the same pressure as you.
It's not that Xiao Feng is bragging, but even with his physical abilities, he couldn't withstand the pressure from the 30th floor for long, let alone those monks.
The small Buddhist temple must also know about the interior of the pagoda.
Only after confirming that no one could withstand the immense pressure to reach the top of the pagoda would they allow monks to patrol the interior of the pagoda only up to the thirtieth floor.
"There are only eight more floors left. I can definitely do it." Xiao Feng made up his mind and cleared away all the complicated thoughts that had been running through his mind.
Since there were no other monks patrolling above the thirtieth floor, Xiao Feng gave himself a chance to rest and recover his strength before continuing to climb.
Several hours had passed outside by this time.
Xiao Feng and his companions arrived at the small Buddhist temple in the morning, and it is now afternoon.
The mad monk stood beneath the pagoda.
His gaze seemed to penetrate the walls of the pagoda and land precisely on Xiao Feng.
He saw that Xiao Feng only took his first rest when he was on the fortieth floor, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips.
"Truly remarkable! Excellent physique, exceptional intelligence, and extraordinary talent. On his first attempt to climb the pagoda, he was able to reach the fortieth floor in one go, and even stay on the fortieth floor to rest and recover his strength. This child's future is limitless!"
If Xiao Feng could hear the mad monk's evaluation of him, he would definitely find that the mad monk at this time was no longer the crazy and incoherent monk he had been before.
His wise eyes and the constantly fluctuating power emanating from him were enough to show that his identity was definitely extraordinary.
Xiao Feng rested for a full half hour before he fully recovered his strength.
Seeing that there were still eight stories left in the pagoda, Xiao Feng decided to make the most of it and climb to the top in one go.
Through the window of the pagoda, Xiao Feng could see that it was already close to evening.
The number of people in the small Buddhist temple has not decreased; on the contrary, more and more people are gathering at the temple because of the Buddhist ceremonies held there in the evenings.
"We can't delay any longer. There are more and more people, and it will be even more inconvenient to leave after we get the Azure Lord's Relic."
Xiao Feng stepped onto the steps leading to the forty-first floor.
For the last eight levels, Xiao Feng had to grit his teeth and forcefully endure his exhaustion to get through.
They thought that, given this trend, the forty-eighth floor, the one where the Azure Lord's relic was placed, would become an unbearable pressure for him.
After all, on the forty-sixth floor, Xiao Feng felt that his flesh was about to break under the pressure of the layers of the pagoda.
On the forty-seventh floor, Xiao Feng could hear the bones in his body creaking with every step he took.
If the pressure from the forty-eighth floor were to increase further, Xiao Feng worried that his flesh and blood would burst apart the moment he stepped onto the forty-eighth floor.
To Xiao Feng's surprise, the forty-eighth floor did not have this terrifying pressure.
All that remained was the Azure Lord's Relic, radiating a faint glow, which dispelled all of Xiao Feng's fatigue.
The moment Xiao Feng saw the Azure Lord's Relic, he felt that all his efforts in the previous forty-seven levels had not been in vain.
The Azure Lord Relic, radiating a soft glow, appeared even more beautiful under the moonlight.
All his fatigue vanished, and Xiao Feng approached the Azure Lord's Relic step by step, all the countless distracting thoughts in his mind falling silent at this moment.
Xiao Feng took a step closer to the Azure Lord's relic.
However, the next second, something unexpected happened to Xiao Feng.
As if sensing something, the Azure Lord Relic sent out an extremely large and pure spiritual force centered on it, sweeping towards Xiao Feng's direction.
Xiao Feng subconsciously wanted to use his magic to resist, but suddenly remembered the words the mad monk had told him.
Xiao Feng could only suppress the urge to deal with the danger that was lurking in his heart.
He allowed the immense spiritual power of the Azure Lord's relic to sweep over his body.
Xiao Feng felt as if his body had been severely injured, and he let out a muffled groan before kneeling on one knee.
"Such powerful spiritual energy!" Xiao Feng looked up at the Azure Lord Relic not far in front of him.
After the spiritual energy fluctuations ceased, the Azure Lord Relic returned to silence.
Xiao Feng took out the relic that the mad monk had given him from his bosom.
The two relics are exactly the same.
Or perhaps, all relics are pretty much the same.
Perhaps these Buddhist practitioners can discern the differences between the various relics.
However, in Xiao Feng's view, the relic in his hand was not much different from the Qingzhu relic enshrined in front of him.
Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel a little doubtful: "Can the relic in my hand really replace the Azure Lord's relic? Will it really not be discovered?"
But Xiao Feng had already climbed forty-eight floors.
Having finally reached this last level, Xiao Feng really didn't want to give up.
Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and eventually approached the Azure Lord's Relic little by little.
The Azure Lord Relic did not exhibit the same spiritual energy fluctuations as before.
As Xiao Feng drew closer, the light from the Azure Lord's relic grew ever brighter.
Thinking of what Su Mo had entrusted to him, Xiao Feng could only grit his teeth and slowly reach out his hand, wanting to take the Azure Lord's Relic.
To prevent those below from noticing anything amiss, Xiao Feng reached out and touched the Azure Master's relic with one hand.
With his other hand, he prepared to place another relic on top the moment he obtained the Qingzhu relic.
Just as his fingers touched the Green Master's relic, Xiao Feng suddenly remembered another sentence the mad monk had said.
The Azure Lord Relic absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, and contains an enormous amount of energy.
The spot where his fingers touched the Azure Lord's relic was like a floodgate being opened, with a continuous stream of pure energy surging wildly into Xiao Feng's body.
