What Yao Ziyi implied was that Xiang Sheng's physical potential was even stronger than Qin Tianque's.
Xiang Sheng disagreed.
Her body was conceived from the pure energy of the earth's core. Although it can be said that she was "born and raised by the earth", it is still inferior to a true divine body.
The extra word "上" should refer to the matter of life and death.
The life-threatening issue involves the ancient clan's "Ancestral Seal", which in turn involves the master and the "Deceiving Heaven" formation plate.
Xiang Sheng kept his master's instructions in mind and did not intend to tell anyone. Naturally, he did not intend to correct his third senior brother at this moment. After bidding farewell to everyone, he went straight to the fifth floor without delay.
After climbing dozens of steps, Xiang Sheng stepped into the fifth floor of the stone tower.
With just one step, the ground beneath his feet suddenly turned into nothingness, and the top of the stone also turned into an endless void.
Beneath the void, there was a large formation with a radius of one hundred feet, which was slowly rotating with a dim light.
There were two people sitting cross-legged in the formation, and they looked very unfamiliar.
But when he got here, Xiang Sheng didn't need to guess, he knew that these two people were the leaders of Piaoxue Palace and Wuji Xianzong, Fairy Cheng Yun and Nian Wangzhen.
The two sect leaders all had sharp senses. As soon as Xiang Sheng came up, they both opened their eyes.
Nian Wangzhen squinted his eyes and looked at Xiang Sheng for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Are you Xiang Sheng?"
Xiang Sheng sensed the malice in his words and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Exactly. What advice do you have, Sect Master Nian?"
Nian Wangzhen's expression turned cold: "Youngster..."
"Xiang Daoyou!"
Before he could finish his words, Fairy Cheng Yun interrupted him, "I've heard of your great reputation for a long time, and seeing you in person today, I can see that it's true that a great reputation is truly a great person."
Nian Wangzhen turned around and looked at Fairy Cheng Yun, feeling angry and even more surprised.
The title of East Continent God of Earth can only scare ordinary cultivators in West Continent, and he does not take it seriously.
This girl is able to reach the fifth level, she is indeed talented.
But fundamentally, it was just good luck stealing the pure energy from the earth's core. Why did Cheng Yun treat her so politely?
Seeing Fairy Cheng Yun's attitude, Xiang Sheng knew that she had guessed that it was him who opened the inheritance tower, and he smiled slightly:
"I don't deserve Fairy Cheng Yun's praise. I'm just luckier than others."
This was just a simple polite remark, but Fairy Cheng Yun heard the hidden meaning behind it and became even more polite: "I am being modest to you, fellow Daoist."
Xiang Sheng smiled and said nothing more. He walked into the formation, looked at it carefully for a moment, took out a blank jade slip and started to engrave it.
Fairy Cheng Yun was still not calm when she saw this. Under Nian Wangzhen's increasingly puzzled gaze, she walked over to Xiang Sheng and sat down, saying enthusiastically:
"This formation, Sect Master Qin just mentioned it when he was here, should be a cross-boundary teleportation formation. It's a pity that it has fallen into disrepair and cannot be used."
Xiang Sheng paused, "What else did he say?"
Fairy Cheng Yun sighed, "He also said that this formation is too complicated and has several illogical points. He can't understand it and has no way to repair it."
Xiang Sheng narrowed his eyes, "What about the ancient god Taiyin? What did he say?"
Fairy Cheng Yun was slightly startled when she saw that she looked normal.
When she and Nian Wangzhen heard that the formation was damaged, they couldn't help but change their expressions. Why was Xiang Sheng's reaction so calm?
Did he already see the origin of this formation, or did he keep it in check and not show it at all?
Regardless of which of these two guesses was true, it made her think more highly of Xiang Sheng, and her tone became more gentle:
"The ancient god Taiyin just sighed, wishing the Abyssal Snake Clan were still there."
Xiang Sheng's eyes darkened a little, and then he smiled: "Thank you, Fairy Cheng Yun, for clearing up my confusion."
She had gained many insights over the years and had mastered the snake and insect prohibitions to the point of proficiency. Naturally, she could tell at a glance that this formation was used for extremely long-distance transmission.
The forbidden runes used in this formation not only contain human forbidden logic, but also a few snake and insect characters.
However, this kind of snake and insect script looked quite different from that of the Abyss Snake Clan, and gave her a more orthodox feeling.
But they are all snake-worm texts after all, and the underlying logic is similar. If she is given enough time, she is 80% sure that she can repair this formation.
But I haven’t got the inheritance tower yet, so this is not the time to waste time.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng did not talk to Cheng Yun any more. He spent half a minute engraving the formation runes into the jade slip, and then walked straight towards the entrance to the sixth layer deep in the starry sky.
Fairy Cheng Yun did not follow him. Seeing that Nian Wang was really ready to make a move, she sneered:
"I advise you to give up the thought, or you'll die without knowing how."
Nian Wangzhen paused, his expression changing for a moment, and finally he sat down again with a wave of his sleeves, speaking sarcastically:
"Junior Sister Cheng, you are so young, how come you are even less courageous than me?
You and I can only take three steps on the Road of Self-Examination before being beaten out. A two-hundred-year-old girl might not be able to take even a single step.
She will be back in less than half an hour, and then it won't be too late for me to teach her how to respect her elders."
Fairy Cheng Yun was too lazy to listen to his stubborn talk and just turned her back.
If she wasn't afraid that the two would fight and implicate herself, she wouldn't have reminded Nian Wangzhen.
All the years of affection had been completely severed when she learned that Nian Wangzhen was secretly colluding with the Pantheon.
…
The sixth floor is still a starry sky. There is a stone tablet at the entrance with eight large characters written on it: "Ask your heart on the road ahead, and you will see spirits at the end of the road."
Xiang Sheng raised his eyes and scanned the stone steps floating in the starry sky. Without hesitation, he stepped directly onto the first step.
“Beep—beep—beep—”
The familiar and regular sound of life-support machines rang in my ears.
Xiang Sheng opened her eyes and saw the snow-white ceiling of the ward. Her limbs were so weak that she couldn't move.
More than two hundred years of adventure in the world of cultivation seemed like just a dream.
When she woke up from the dream, she became Xiang Sheng again, lying in the hospital bed, unable to take care of herself even when eating, drinking, defecating or urinating.
Such an illusion might have made Xiang Sheng panic when she first entered the world of cultivation, but now it cannot shake her heart at all.
As soon as I closed my eyes, the ward was shattered.
When he opened his eyes again, Xiang Sheng was back in the starry sky, his feet landing steadily on the first step.
Without a break, she took the second step...
Half an hour passed quickly.
Nian Wangzhen didn't wait for Xiang Sheng. His face was gloomy. "The pure energy from the earth's core can probably calm the mind and focus the spirit, but it's an external force after all. In another half an hour, this woman will definitely be driven out!"
Half an hour later, there was still no one at the entrance to the sixth floor.
Nian Wangzhen's face turned grim, "Another half a day..."
Half a day later, there was still no movement at the entrance.
Nian Wangzhen's forehead was covered with sweat: "One more day..."
One day later, Lu Xuanji appeared at the entrance of the sixth floor with a look of regret on his face.
Fear welled up in Nian Wangzhen's eyes: "Three more days..."
Three days later, Qin Tianque walked out of the Road of Self-Reflection with a calm expression. He was not surprised to see Lu Xuanji.
Lu Xuanji was surprised. "The tower spirit doesn't even look down on you? Doesn't that mean no one can take down this tower? Xue Jiushu is still waiting outside."
Qin Tianque frowned slightly, turned around and glanced at Nian Wangzhen's expression as if he had seen a ghost, and his brows suddenly relaxed.
"There's one more person."
