Shi Xuan looked at him without saying a word.
He continued, “Everything in this world is at your disposal, everyone in this world grovels at your feet, the world revolves around you, your power is limitless, and no one can disobey your commands… But in the past, you were far from having a better life…”
Shi Xuan nodded: "So?"
"So why would you give up your position as the master of this world, give up this readily available power, and give up everything here? As long as you leave me here, you will always be the god of this place!"
He gently and persuasively seduced Shi Xuan. He was right; the allure of dominating the world was irresistible to anyone. To be the center of the world, to decide the life and death of anyone at will—here, one could have anything one desired.
There is no greater temptation than to lure someone into deep depravity. Perhaps that is the extraordinary power of illusion.
Shi Xuan smiled and nodded, saying, "You're absolutely right."
The illusory figure was delighted, thinking it had persuaded Shi Xuan, but then Shi Xuan changed the subject, saying, "But what difference is there between being a lonely king in this dark land and being dead? Although I've ruled this region for the past few years, life has been incredibly boring..."
As she spoke, she thrust her sword forward, extinguishing the already dying Yin-Yang candle. The phantom of the "savior" gradually dimmed as the candle went out, until finally, the phantom seemed unable to believe that anyone could resist the temptations of the entire world.
With the disappearance of the "savior," the entire gloomy world collapsed, and the sky cleared, revealing its original colors.
Shi Xuan looked around and suddenly realized that he was trying to pass through the Xuanji Tower.
The past few years have passed like a dream, and now that she has woken up, she has passed the sixth level and has been directly teleported to the seventh level.
For the spectators outside the Xuanji Tower, only four hours had passed on the sixth floor. But four hours was already a long time; Chen Qi from the neighboring Luoyin Sect had already reached the seventh floor.
Shi Xuan's followers and the disciples of Lianfeng Sword Sect anxiously watched the rankings outside the tower. Besides Chen Qi, Sun Shaoxing of Luoyin Sect also reached the seventh floor. Both of them had performed well in the previous individual talisman competition. It can be said that if it weren't for Shi Xuan, these two would definitely be the most prominent figures in this Six Sects Grand Competition.
Amidst everyone's anxious anticipation, four hours passed, and Shi Xuan finally emerged from the sixth floor.
But by this time, Chen Qi had already entered the eighth floor.
Standing on the ground floor of the seventh floor inside the tower, Shi Xuan let out a long sigh. Several years had passed like a dream, and when he came back to his senses, he felt as if he had been in another world.
Looking out from this seventh level, it feels like being in a starry sky, and the test is about putting the chaotic stars back in their proper places.
For array cultivators, setting up arrays often requires combining celestial phenomena, so celestial phenomena is also a required course for array cultivators.
In the Silverfrost Secret Realm, she had also undergone a test of celestial phenomena, which involved returning lost stars to their rightful places.
This time, however, the situation is even more complicated. Finding a misplaced star in the vast sea of stars and returning it to its original position is no easy task, and it is said that many people perish here during the formation challenge of the Six Sects Grand Competition.
The positions of the stars are not static; they constantly change with the passage of time and the changing seasons. Therefore, in this level, you must first determine the current time in the starry sea, calculate the position of each star based on the time, and then find and correct any incorrect stars.
It's so complicated!
"Do you need my help?" Lu Shenzhi asked jokingly in his mind.
"This is such a small matter, why would Senior Brother need to get involved!" Does he still think she's that clueless newbie in the Silver Frost Secret Realm who can only listen to Senior Brother's orders?
Shi Xuan looked around and got a general idea of the vast starry sky. He then learned about the time corresponding to the starry sky and began his long search.
With so many stars, even someone who knows the answer would have to search for ages just to find them. It's a test of both eyesight and patience!
The audience outside were getting anxious for Shi Xuan. She had stayed in the illusion on the sixth floor for too long, so much so that when she came out, Chen Qi of the Luoyin Sect had already reached the eighth floor.
You should know that, based on past experience, among the Golden Core disciples, those who can reach the eighth level are the ones who have a chance to win the championship. I have never seen anyone pass the ninth level and clear the tower.
Chen Qi emerged from the sixth floor in less than an hour, but spent a full three and a half hours on the seventh floor! Shi Xuan is in some danger... Many people were worried for her.
Shi Xuan, however, was completely unaware of everything outside. She continued to look at the starry sky at a leisurely pace, occasionally finding one or two misplaced stars and returning them to their original positions.
Despite the great effort involved, Shi Xuan's divine sense was powerful, allowing him to "see" a large area at a time at an extremely rapid pace.
It was beyond her control whether the sixth floor was trapped in an illusion, but to do so at this moment was too fast.
An hour passed, and while everyone outside waited anxiously, the situation remained unchanged. Chen Qi was still on the eighth floor, while Shi Xuan was still searching for stars on the seventh floor.
Some of the disciples who were at lower levels had already given up and left.
Another half hour passed, and Shi Xuan finally finished arranging all the stars and cleared the level.
When Shi Xuan's name lit up on the eighth floor, the audience outside erupted in cheers.
"I knew it! I knew my goddess was number one at everything she did!"
"No way, are they really going to sweep all the championships?"
"That's not necessarily true. Chen Qi has been in there for so long, it's still uncertain who will emerge victorious in the end."
"Didn't you notice? Chen Qi spent more than twice as much time on the seventh floor as Shi Xuan."
"According to you, Xuan had five times more power than Chen Qi when he was on the sixth floor!"
...
The masters of the six sects seem to have been numb to her training; what is there that they don't know about her?
Is this formation really that fun? You know, in the past, during the Six Sects Grand Competition, many times the person who reached the eighth level would win first place!
Over the centuries, only a handful of people have reached the ninth level, including her own senior brother, Lu Shenzhi. They truly are worthy of being fellow disciples, their level of monstrosity is comparable.
No, this Shi Xuan is even more monstrous than her senior brother. At least Lu Shenzhi only excels in sword and formation techniques, but Shi Xuan is going to sweep all six sect competitions!
This year, Chen Qi, a formation genius from the Luoyin Sect, is competing with her in the Xuanji Tower. Otherwise, she would have won the formation championship with a crushing victory once again.
Upon reaching the eighth floor, Shi Xuan looked up and saw nothing but emptiness. The entire floor was completely blank, as if it were empty.
