The best team members believed their captain's words without a doubt and immediately mobilized their spiritual power according to Shi Xuan's ideas.
For cultivators who are used to the existing way of circulating spiritual energy, it is really difficult to mobilize spiritual energy in this way, and it feels like they have returned to the Qi Refining stage.
In reality, there isn't much difference.
They seemed to be relearning Reiki infusion. After two cycles, it was indeed effective!
If you continue to cultivate at this level in this way, your cultivation level will become more and more solid, which will be very beneficial for going further in the future.
This will be of great help, especially to those cultivators whose foundation is unstable.
Therefore, the difficulty of this first level is not just an obstacle, but also part of the rewards of this nine-story tower!
Most people believe that you can get the reward of whichever floor you climb in this reward tower, and the higher the floor, the better the reward.
This is indeed the case with many towers of this type in the past.
People tend to interpret "how much you get depends on your ability" as "how many floors you can climb depends on your ability," and the final outcome is the same: those who make history are the ones who climbed to the eighth floor and the ones who climbed to the ninth floor.
As for who stayed on which floor and for how long, nobody cares.
Shi Xuan led the best team members to cultivate on this first level for three days and three nights without moving an inch. Everyone was busy consolidating their cultivation.
Meanwhile, those watching from outside had no idea what they were doing inside, and the elders of several sects were extremely anxious. They had finally achieved a historic breakthrough, with six people going in. They didn't expect them to achieve anything great in the end, but they didn't want them all to get stuck on the first level and unable to advance.
Some others had already reached the fourth floor, but look at their best team, all six of them, they hadn't moved an inch in three days and three nights.
The little red dot didn't move at all, as if everyone had dropped their identity tokens to the next level.
The thousands of onlookers were also not very able to understand this situation.
"That's not right. Even if the last-ranked person is too weak to make it to the second level, it doesn't mean everyone is unable to make it. Aren't the first and second ranked people on the Prodigy Ranking still there?"
"That makes sense. Everyone who went in made it to the second floor. How come it's such a coincidence that their best team of disciples couldn't make it up? Could they have run into some trouble?"
"What trouble could there be? Everyone else is upstairs except for them. There's no one else on the first floor except them. What trouble could there be?"
"Could it be that the people of Qian Yuan Continent are just too incompetent, which is why they've never been able to enter the Nine-Story Tower before? This time, they must have had some incredible luck to get into the top fifty, but once they entered the Nine-Story Tower, their true colors were revealed?"
"That's possible too. Look at the first and second place teams, didn't they use that position-switching method to defeat Yan Lingyi? Maybe they were just bluffing."
...
By this time, some people were already regretting not trying to challenge the top two. They seemed to be paper tigers, just there to scare people; there must be some way to easily defeat them, it just hadn't been discovered yet.
Others felt sorry for Yan Lingyi, a promising young talent who was defeated by two first-tier competitors. Moreover, it seemed that he was defeated using only his own moves; the two competitors' attacks didn't appear to have caused him any significant damage.
But it's too late to say anything now. The fact is, the best team managed to get in six people, but those six people couldn't even get to the second floor.
After three days and three nights, everyone's cultivation had been consolidated. Shi Xuan finally let out a long breath and said, "Let's go upstairs."
The best six-person team that had been stationary on the first floor finally moved.
At this moment, walking on this floor with its immense suction was quite easy for them, unlike when they first arrived and found it extremely difficult.
It should be the removal of inferior spiritual energy from their bodies, making their spiritual energy more refined, while the enormous suction force here has little effect on this refined spiritual energy.
Although there is still some resistance, I can now easily walk to the teleportation point with a normal walking posture.
Lu Wenxing even jumped up and down with joy.
"Heh, this time it's really different, I'm as light as a swallow! Even if I don't get any rewards later, this level alone is good enough!"
What he said wasn't wrong. On the path of cultivation, it's inevitable to encounter times when one is eager for quick results. Every cultivator carries with them a somewhat fragile foundation from their previous Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages. Being able to sort things out here is already an extraordinary stroke of luck.
Chen Qi jumped up and down with him: "That's right, I feel great now, this nine-story pagoda really lives up to its name."
"After all, it's a joint arena for disciples from over thirty continents. It wouldn't look good if the top fifty out of a thousand people received too little reward." Even Mi Sui, who is usually very quiet, offered his analysis.
The fact that Mi Sui could speak such a long passage shows that she was in a very high mood.
At this point, outside the nine-story pagoda, everyone finally saw six points moving slightly.
Furthermore, they astutely noticed that these dots moved much faster than the previous dots that went up to the second floor. Sometimes they could even bounce up and down a couple of times.
Those outside didn't know what was happening inside. They guessed that something was preventing them from going upstairs, so much so that even the fastest of the first group of people to go upstairs took an hour and a half.
The best team of six took the longest, but they had some unique characteristics. They didn't move for three days, but once they did, their speed was much faster than others.
Only when the six red dots successfully reached the second floor did the elders of the various sects of Qian Yuan breathe a long sigh of relief.
At least we made it to the second floor. That's good enough. We'll see what happens next.
After a burst of blue light from the teleportation array on the first floor, the six people's vision blurred for a moment, and when they opened their eyes again, they were already on the second floor.
The layout here seems similar to the first floor, both being spacious halls, and the powerful suction force is still present.
Besides that, there are some differences.
If you look closely, you'll see small golden specks of light on the ceiling of the room.
It's daytime now; it must be incredibly beautiful at night.
Shi Xuan looked at the tiny golden dots of light thoughtfully.
Beside her, Lu Shenzhi said, "It's unlikely that a tower like this is purely decorative, so these golden dots must serve some purpose."
Shi Xuan nodded. She took out the Lianfeng Sword, intending to use its power to leap up and touch a star. However, as soon as the Lianfeng Sword came out, before she could even do anything, she was almost pulled to the ground by the suction force.
