"You guys go up first. It seems that this cultivation method of mine will take a long time to be passed down. You don't need to waste your time here with me."
"Okay, then be careful." Wei Wenru nodded and pulled Nian Wanzhou towards the ninth floor.
Song Yan knew that she had a hard time, so he reluctantly looked away.
As soon as Wei Wenru stepped onto the ninth floor, she knew that the pressure would be even greater this time. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and slowly embarked on her journey.
Nian Wanzhou wasn't much better off; her delicate face had a hint of anxiety between her brows.
At first, she was quite carefree, but perhaps she became too arrogant and was targeted by the Demon Tower. This pressure was even greater than that faced by Wei Wenru.
But she was still strong, gritting her teeth, straightening her back, and taking one step at a time to move forward.
Looking at Nian Wanzhou's stubborn face, Wei Wenru couldn't help but think of herself when she first started cultivating, and how she had also gritted her teeth and persevered.
Then, she saw a new illusion.
She saw Nian Wanzhou lying on the cold lake bottom, his eyes gray and lifeless, looking upwards. She also looked up and saw the image of a white dragon being tortured.
In the end, the white dragon was sacrificed.
Wei Wenru knew what had happened; when she found her junior sister, Le Xi had also described this scene.
She only realized how terrifying it was when she experienced it herself.
If that day ever comes, she will never hand Wanwan over. She will protect Wanwan, no matter what happens.
Protecting the world is an adult's business, and has nothing to do with her, a mere child.
Moreover, if even powerful beings can't do anything about it, why should we sacrifice others to save our own lives? Don't think she doesn't know what's going on.
The reason why the white dragon was sacrificed ten thousand years ago was because of those powerful people who were afraid of death.
Driven by selfish desires, he not only sacrificed the white dragon, but also took its flesh and bones to forge immortal artifacts and increase their power.
These powerful figures are utterly devoid of conscience!
Wei Wenru drew her Meteor Sword and shattered the illusion and the black mist that was trying to entangle Nian Wanzhou with a single strike. She exuded a sharp killing intent: "You dare to touch Wanwan and see what happens!"
She wouldn't allow anyone to hurt her Wanwan, never!
"Senior sister, what's wrong?" Nian Wanzhou wiped the sweat from her brow, purifying the black mist in the process, and turned to hug Wei Wenru, who was radiating murderous intent.
Wei Wenru lowered her eyes and met a pair of pure eyes.
She paused for a moment, then calmed down a bit and put down the Meteor Sword: "Senior sister is fine, she was just blinded by the illusion."
Her voice was soft, yet filled with murderous intent.
A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she looked towards the top floor, just ten steps away.
If it really is related to Wanwan, she will tear down this tower.
Regardless of who built it, who it belongs to now, or who led her here to obtain these things, she will destroy it and turn it into dust of history.
At worst, she'll give up everything.
Wei Wenru will not allow anyone to hurt Wanwan.
"Senior sister, what's wrong with you just now?" Nian Wanzhou noticed Wei Wenru's change and asked in confusion.
Wei Wenru shook her head, pulled her into her arms, and said, "Wanwan, your senior sister won't let anyone hurt you, absolutely not."
“I know, Senior Sister.” Nian Wanzhou knew that Wei Wenru had not yet emerged from the illusion, so she hugged her tightly and transferred her spiritual power to her.
The two stood together for a while, leaning on each other, until Wei Wenru regained her senses and used her last bit of strength to climb to the top of the stairs.
However, only one person could enter the ninth floor at a time. After Nian Wanzhou let Wei Wenru in, the door to the ninth floor was closed.
The items on the ninth floor can only be accepted by Wei Wenru alone.
Nian Wanzhou simply sat down upstairs to rest, as climbing just one floor was more tiring than cultivating for a whole year.
Just then, the sound of laborious footsteps crawling up the stairs came from behind.
Cui Kaichao came up.
Seeing only a child sitting by the door, he guessed that Wei Wenru must have already gone inside, and his face darkened with anger: "Get out of the way!"
Nian Wanzhou sneered twice, not only not moving, but standing up instead, looking down at Cui Kaichao: "You think I'll just get up because you tell me to? Wouldn't that make me lose face? What if I don't let you?"
The senior sister has already gone in, and the rest of us definitely can't force our way in, but who knows if she has something powerful that can get us in.
She noticed that this person's cultivation level wasn't even as high as her senior brother's, so how did he manage to get up here? There must be something fishy going on!
Although Nian Wanzhou was still a child, he exuded a kingly aura that inspired awe.
For a moment, Cui Kaichao felt a sense of fear.
Cui Kaichao pointed his sword at Nian Wanzhou and said arrogantly, "Then don't blame me for being impolite and bullying a child."
She's just a kid, and her senior sister isn't here, so why should we be afraid of her? Besides, he had a feeling that what was inside was definitely not simple, and he had to go in and snatch it.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Kaichao raised his sword and struck at Nian Wanzhou.
An extremely powerful sword aura struck Nian Wanzhou. The narrow space was not enough to dodge it, and Nian Wanzhou took the blow squarely.
Surprisingly, it was completely unharmed.
Cui Kaichao then remembered that he had forgotten that this thing was a dragon cub!
His dozens of moves were simply not enough, and he was further weakened by the swift Nian Wanzhou's close-range attack, who kicked away his natal sword, and then...
"Get down!"
He was also kicked down the stairs by Nian Wanzhou.
Having been kicked down, Cui Kaichao had completely lost face. He hurriedly picked up his longsword, but when he tried to go back up, he found it was too late.
He had barely taken a step when he was in excruciating pain, his face stinging and bleeding profusely.
The next moment, he knelt down on the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and rolled back to the eighth floor.
Once you go down, you can never come back up to the previous floor.
Not long after the two finished fighting, Wei Wenru came out and quickly received the inheritance. She also hurriedly took the initiative to come out with something else.
As soon as the door to the ninth floor opened, a trace of mysterious spiritual energy lingered in the air and drifted down to the eighth floor.
Cui Kaichao was furious. This was a matter of inheritance!
Although it's unclear which aspect of the inheritance it came from, it wouldn't be bad; he's just a little lacking!
"Clang clang clang".
A series of knocking sounds echoed throughout the secret realm, signaling the end of its opening time and the ejection of everyone.
Wei Wenru took Nian Wanzhou's hand, looked down at Cui Kaichao, said nothing, chuckled, and then everyone was ejected.
As soon as she left the secret realm, Wei Wenru couldn't wait to sit cross-legged and meditate on the spot, as the surging spiritual power within her body could no longer be suppressed.
"Boom!" Amidst the thunder and lightning, Wei Wenru ushered in a crucial moment for her promotion.
Nian Wanzhou stood beside her, and a pure white dragon surrounded Wei Wenru, protecting her senior sister.
The overwhelming pressure made everyone afraid to approach easily.
Especially those who want to harm others.
