"It's not over yet?" Yun Yue was taken aback and asked, "When did you go?"
"It's been two days, and the first floor is still glowing with purple light." Yun Xiu said with a serious expression, pursing his lips.
"What?" Yun Yue suddenly stood up.
Yun Tong, who was standing to the side, also looked up, a look of disbelief in her eyes.
“Given Yun Wei’s current Core Formation Realm cultivation, the Nine Deaths and One Life Pavilion will automatically assign a guardian with a minimum Returning Origin Realm level,” Yun Tong said.
“A gatekeeper at the lowest level of the Returning Origin Realm can basically kill a challenger at the Core Formation Realm instantly.” Yun Yue frowned, completely clueless.
The reason he repeatedly advised Yun Wei against breaking into the pavilion was because he knew that Yun Wei would surely die if he went.
But Yunwei refused to listen to him and insisted on going.
“But the purple light on the first level is still shining, which proves that both the guardian and the challenger are still alive,” Yun Xiu added.
"Let's go take a look," Yun Yue said, and strode out first.
Yun Xiu, Yun Tong, and the others followed closely behind.
Before long, they arrived at the Nine Deaths and One Life Pavilion, where Yun Ke was staring intently.
"How did it go?" Yun Yue asked.
Actually, you don't need to. Just by looking at that faint purple light, you can tell that Yun Wei is still alive, and the guardian of the first level is also still alive.
However, in order to successfully pass the challenge, the challenger must kill the gatekeeper.
The guardians are not actual people, but various illusions condensed by the ancestors of the Yun family using great magic, whose strength is adjusted according to the challengers.
They have no independent thought; their purpose is simply to guard each level of the checkpoint.
They also lack human emotions, so they will never show mercy.
Over the years, many people have also survived the perilous journey through the "Nine Deaths and One Life Pavilion".
They also figured out some tricks of the trade outside the pavilion.
If the cultivation levels are similar, unlike Yun Wei's where the gap is too large, the first level is always relatively easy to pass.
The longest it lasted was no more than half a day.
There were also those whose cultivation levels were too far apart; they were instantly killed by the gatekeeper within a few breaths of entering.
In short, the first stage won't take too long.
But now, Yun Wei has been on the first floor for two days, and judging from the current situation, it won't be over anytime soon.
This has never happened before.
Yun Yue and the other elders of the Yun family were stunned, as was Yun Tong, who had already passed through the pavilion.
She had never encountered this situation before.
“Yun Wei is still on the first floor. I just used my spiritual power to probe around, and it seems there are no sounds of fighting coming from it. It’s unusually quiet,” Yun Ke said.
“There’s no sound of fighting…” Yun Yue frowned, then extended a wisp of spiritual energy.
A moment later, she opened her eyes: "It's really quiet."
Quiet, and somewhat unusual.
In the past, if someone broke into the pavilion, they could use their spiritual energy to find out something.
"What exactly is Yun Wei up to?" Yun Tong, an impatient person, said upon hearing this, "Why don't we join forces and break through the Nine Deaths and One Life Pavilion?"
"Nonsense!" Yun Yue glared at Yun Tong: "The Nine Deaths and One Life Pavilion was left by our ancestors. How can you just break it open like that?"
Moreover, even if they combined their strength, they might not be able to break through.
After all, the path to immortality in this world had not yet been severed during the time of our ancestors, so our ancestors must have been exceptionally talented individuals.
How could they possibly break through the Nine Deaths and One Life Pavilion that he poured all his efforts into building?
Upon being reprimanded, Yun Tong immediately took a step back and said apologetically, "Big brother, I misspoke, please don't be angry."
"Then what should we do?" Yun Ke asked.
"Let's wait," Yun Yue said. "There's no better way."
"But tomorrow is the first day of school for Miss Bai at Tianyuan Academy," Yun Tong immediately reminded her.
"For this first term, there will be three members of our Yun family. These three should attend classes on time and must not be late. The rest of you, stay here and guard the place," Yun Yue said.
“There’s no need for everyone to stay here,” Yun Ke said. “The rest of you can take turns.”
"Do you think it will take a long time?" Yun Yue asked.
“Hmm.” Yun Ke nodded: “I don’t know what method Yun Wei used, but I feel that he and the gatekeeper have reached some kind of delicate balance.”
"What if things stay in this balance?" Yun Xiu asked.
“Then he’ll probably be imprisoned in the Nine Deaths Pavilion forever.” Yun Ke said, then looked at Yun Tong: “Is there any food inside?”
Although cultivators don't need to eat three meals a day like ordinary people, they still need to replenish their supplies regularly.
“Yes.” Yun Tong nodded: “There is a fruit tree on each floor. The fruit can fill your stomach and help you restore your spiritual power.”
"Let's hold out for half a month," Yun Yue finally decided.
"Okay." Everyone nodded.
Inside the Nine Deaths and One Life Pavilion.
Yun Wei was currently meditating cross-legged on the first level, with a faint red figure floating beside him.
That red figure is Yun Can.
"Master, I have advanced another small realm." After a moment, Yun Wei opened his eyes and said with a joyful expression.
"That's right." Yun Can said smugly, "Would I lie to you?"
"Of course not." Yun Wei rubbed his fingers together. "It is my honor to be Master's disciple in this lifetime."
Since entering the Nine Deaths and One Life Pavilion, he has been able to see Yun Can.
Yun Can's appearance is indeed very similar to that of an elder recorded in the family genealogy, except that he looks a bit older.
At that moment, Yun Wei felt as if he had been given a reassurance.
It is clear that what Yun Can told him that day was true.
Moreover, now that he has become Yun Can's disciple, according to the clan's seniority, what should Yun Yue call him?
Thinking about this, Yun Wei couldn't help but feel excited.
More importantly, his cultivation speed has increased significantly since he switched to this new method.
Previously, he dared not claim to be the number one genius among his peers.
But now, he truly deserves it.
"Master, what should we do next?" Yun Wei approached Yun Can and asked respectfully.
"Continue your cultivation on this floor," Yun Can said.
"Huh?" Yun Wei was taken aback.
"Fool, haven't you noticed yet?" Yun Can frowned. "Is your cultivation speed inside the Nine Deaths and One Life Pavilion faster than outside?"
"Now that you mention it, Master, it seems so." Yun Wei closed his eyes and sensed for a moment before nodding hurriedly.
The joy on his face was almost impossible to hide.
The first person.
He is absolutely the first person to achieve this.
He not only wanted to be the number one among his generation in the Yun family, but also the number one among his generation in the entire Central Continent.
“I can keep that gatekeeper trapped for another month, so for the next month, you can stay here and cultivate in peace,” Yun Can said.
"Yes, Master," Yun Wei replied readily.
“During this time, I will also teach you a spiritual technique that complements this cultivation method,” Yun Can added.
"Complements this cultivation technique?" Yun Wei jumped up excitedly: "Could it be that the spiritual skill is also of the Heavenly Rank?"
"Mm." Yun Can nodded: "Since I chose you, I will do my best to train you. Don't let me down."
"Master, rest assured, your disciple will cultivate diligently and help you be reborn as soon as possible," Yun Wei said loudly as he knelt down.
