The people present had different thoughts, but they all saw the surprise and joy in each other's eyes. These treasures were something that none of their sects possessed.
That's incredibly generous!
Looking at the good things Nan Yu and the others had acquired, Xi Yin suddenly realized a truth: by following the people of the Tianji Sect, one would eventually rise above others and reap abundant rewards.
Even if they said that the sun could rise in the west, they would just nod wildly and agree, saying, "You're right!"
Luckily, she followed behind Senior Sister Wei. Look at her junior brother, hahaha, what kind of crap is he carrying!
When Junior Brother Xiyin felt the mocking look in her eyes, his face darkened. He gave her a smug look that said, "You're so naughty, I hate you," and then hugged his pills and started crying.
"Senior Sister, Senior Sister Wei, we won't go up to the third floor with you. We're not strong enough and we can't hold you back." Xi Yin's junior brother and the other Foundation Establishment disciples decided to stay where they were and not go any further.
Wei Wenru nodded: "Okay, then you wait for us here. Let's go."
The stairs to the third floor were even longer; some people almost couldn't lift their feet after just taking the first step. The sense of oppression was overwhelming.
Xiyin gritted her teeth, lifted her leg, put it down, and repeated the process until she finally got used to it halfway up the stairs and could climb them more easily.
I looked up and...
Junior Sister Nian ran around like nothing was wrong, Senior Sister Wei was also very relaxed, and everyone else, as long as they hadn't reached the Nascent Soul stage, all had expressions of pain on their faces.
Even Song Yan was in pain at first. He had at least entered the Nascent Soul stage, but he didn't expect to be in so much pain.
Everyone wears a mask of pain.
Indeed, you can't compare people; it'll drive you crazy.
“The third floor… Ah!” Nian Wanzhou scrambled up to the third floor and suddenly cried out.
"Wanwan!" Nan Yu and Wei Wenru rushed over to check as soon as they heard this, fearing that something might have happened to Nian Wanzhou.
Le Xi, Song Yan, and the others were left behind. Er Kang shouted, "Wait for us!"
The third level is a trial of one's true nature, with a huge stone for questioning one's conscience standing in the middle, shining with a black light, a black with iridescent colors.
Nian Wanzhou walked straight through the rock and lay down on the ground.
When she arrived, she thought she would be asked to push a stone to test her strength, but as soon as she touched the Heart-Questioning Stone, she pushed it with all her might and passed right through it.
Then she collapsed.
Because she used a lot of force, she not only got a bump on her head, but also smashed a hole in the floor.
Nan Yu was in such a hurry to get up that she accidentally broke through the third layer of restrictions. Apart from being a little tired, she didn't feel anything else.
"Wanwan, are you alright?"
Nian Wanzhou, who was behind the Questioning Stone, quickly got up. It was too embarrassing!
"I'm fine, don't worry about me!" she quickly tried to save face. Luckily, the people behind her hadn't come up yet, or she would have really lost face.
“That stone isn’t for testing strength. You can touch it and see what it’s for.”
Wei Wenru obeyed her and placed her hand on it. Instantly, an old and solemn voice echoed in her mind: "Future chosen one of heaven, are you ready?"
"Prepare what?" Wei Wenru asked, puzzled. What kind of question was that?
The aged voice paused for a moment before continuing, "Be prepared to be the first."
Wei Wenru pursed her lips: "It's done."
Her gaze was firm, fixed straight ahead. She had a premonition that things would not be as simple as they were now in the future.
Wei Wenru once aspired to become the sect leader who would uphold the entire Tianji Sect and lead it back to its peak a thousand years ago, but ever since…
She knew clearly that the spiritual power her junior sister had transferred to her, and everything that had happened, was not that simple.
Wei Wenru has always been intelligent, how could she not notice that something was wrong?
She had a premonition, and she was also very firm in her thoughts and choices, and confidence arose spontaneously.
"Very good, you have passed this test of conscience, you can move on." The aged voice laughed with satisfaction, and then disappeared.
Wei Wenru then strode over.
People kept coming up behind her, and she wanted to give them some instructions, but she found that her voice couldn't reach them.
But why was it possible to do it before?
"Senior sister, it seems like they can't hear what I'm saying..." Nian Wanzhou squatted on the ground, propping her face up with her hands, and said, "How strange."
"If it doesn't work out, then forget it." Wei Wenru shook her head, said nothing more, and turned to look at the others.
The group, who had previously been wearing masks of pain, now looked extremely serious, as if they had just gone through some life-or-death decision, their scalps twitching.
After about half an incense stick's time, Song Yan, pale and covered in sweat, was the first to wake up.
After crossing the Questioning Stone, I felt a little unwell.
"Wenru, how did you get here so quickly?" Song Yan couldn't help but ask her. Judging from her leisurely sitting meditation, she must have arrived a long time ago.
"The problem is simple, so I came quickly. How about you?"
"They asked many questions, such as whether I could remain steadfast with you and contribute to the sect, and about my cultivation level, etc. In short, they asked a great many questions, and..."
That voice even used some unknown force to stimulate my consciousness, saying it was punishment for... almost failing to hold fast to my principles.
Song Yan felt ashamed and held onto his lover in front of him. He wasn't aggrieved, but he was uncomfortable because his consciousness had been attacked.
"It's my fault, the punishment is justified."
Wei Wenru was speechless. What kind of person is this? Why is he meddling in these things?
"It's good that you're alright. Just think of it as a test of your spiritual sense so you can keep up with me. Don't be afraid." She hugged him back, trying to comfort him.
The two were being all lovey-dovey, while Nian Wanzhou quietly squatted to the side, trying her best to minimize her presence.
She was grinning from ear to ear, she couldn't be happier.
Once everyone had passed through, they noticed how pale the other person's face was, an absurd white color mixed with sweat, and it seemed... there might even be tears.
There were several stacks of talismans hidden at the back, but unfortunately, each person could only choose one at random.
At this moment, several Golden Core stage disciples remained in place. The pressure on the fourth floor was so intense that it was impossible to move an inch.
The seven people stood on the stairs, each gritting their teeth, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads, but they persevered and moved forward step by step.
Wei Wenru stood at the very front. She loved this feeling. The more difficult the situation, the more she enjoyed the challenge and pushing her own limits.
This feeling gave her an exciting impulse.
Nian Wanzhou quickly shouted to those who were about to give up, "Come on, come on, you can do it, hang in there!"
"Hey, Second Senior Brother, I didn't expect to see you here. Hurry up! Should I give you a hand?"
Nian Wanzhou extended her hand provocatively.
Unexpectedly, Lexi actually managed to stop him, gritting her teeth as she said, "Gou Dengxi, you just wait!"
They tried to pull the person down, but couldn't budge them no matter what they did.
