After Shi Xuan discovered this situation, he withdrew the wisp of divine consciousness he had just released and sent out a new one.
This wisp still followed its original path, was forcefully shaped by the tornado, and then merged into the gaps in the wind.
After going through the entire process, once this wisp of divine consciousness is refined, it is withdrawn and then the next wisp is separated.
At this time, Lu Shenzhi also discovered the tempering of divine sense here. After exchanging ideas with Xuan, he also began to hone his divine sense using the same method.
Lu Wenxing, who was with them, thought he was almost done after the initial pain subsided. However, seeing that his senior brother and junior sister had already begun to refine their spiritual senses, he realized that if he didn't do this work, his junior sister would definitely scold him later.
Not wanting to be blamed by his junior sister, he endured the discomfort and separated a wisp of his divine consciousness to polish it in the direction of the tornado, following her method.
For a moment, the only sound in the entire ice field was the sound of the wind.
From the outside of the nine-story tower, the six people have now split into three groups. The darkest and lightest colors went up to the fourth floor together, while the three in the middle are still staying on the third floor.
The three of them spent far too little time on the third floor, less than half an hour, before they all reached the fourth floor. It was truly intriguing to wonder what kind of challenge the third floor was, and why some people could get up there so quickly while others struggled to come out for so long.
For example, the two cultivators who followed the main group passed through two levels on the first day, but now it is the ninth day and they are still on the third level, without moving.
In refining his divine sense, Shi Xuan progressed from releasing it strand by strand, to releasing it in groups of three to find different tornadoes, then to groups of five, and finally directly to releasing it in groups of ten.
In such extremely cold weather, he simultaneously controlled ten strands of divine consciousness, rushing into different tornadoes to find gaps in each tornado and changing with the changing gaps.
Just listening to it is something that not everyone can do.
Shi Xuan, however, succeeded.
Simultaneously locking onto ten tornadoes, every moment of every wisp of divine consciousness was constantly changing.
Under such intense training, Shi Xuan's control over his divine sense and the strength of his divine sense itself have both increased by more than one level.
It can be said that this fourth level is very rewarding.
As for the time spent in this tower, Shi Xuan no longer cared about it at all.
Having entered this nine-story pagoda, the other three floors, except for the third, have already given her more than enough. These benefits are things that she could not obtain through the opportunities she would normally encounter outside. What does it matter if she misses one or two floors above?
Shi Xuan's Dao is the Dao of Freedom, which is to do one's best and leave the rest to fate.
Her consistent belief is that what's meant to be mine will come to me, and what's not meant to be mine, I won't force.
As for the nine-story pagoda, she can take whatever she wants as she goes up, and how far she gets depends entirely on fate.
What's the point of pursuing those empty titles and statuses that require reaching a certain level?
So, on this fourth level, the two senior brothers Shi Xuan stayed for three more days, until they had thoroughly refined all their divine senses before they stopped.
At this moment, the other three people also came out from the third floor, walked through the door, and joined Shi Xuan and the other two.
Just as one group was about to leave, another group entered and happened to meet them. Shi Xuan then told the three of them about the method of tempering their divine sense here.
After the handover was completed, the three people walked towards the other end of the woods.
The risks are greater inside the woods than at the entrance.
The hurricane blew even more violently, and the needle-like leaves kept pricking at them, the intensity of the attack more than twice as strong as at the doorway earlier.
Shi Xuan understood that the attack of the secret manual at this time seemed to be testing whether their spiritual tempering had reached the required level.
She simply released all ten strands of her divine sense simultaneously, monitoring every movement around her. She wouldn't miss any subtle attack or intention.
As it turns out, the three days of training were not in vain.
In the past, such a dense attack would have required the use of several defensive magical artifacts even if one managed to escape unscathed.
Now, with the support of his powerful divine sense, Shi Xuan dodged directly without relying on any magical artifacts, and was not hit even once.
Lu Wenxing, the weakest of the three, only used his defensive magic artifact twice after crossing the entire forest.
Lu Wenxing was extremely excited when he finally got through the woods.
"My God, I never thought I could survive such an attack unscathed! What kind of garbage was my spiritual power before!"
Shi Xuan laughed and said, "Yeah, you're right, it's all dog shit."
Lu Wenxing hadn't realized what he'd said, but after Shi Xuan's comment, he immediately jumped up and down, yelling, "What kind of dog is this! Who talks like that!"
It's as if he wasn't the one who just mentioned dog poop.
Lu Shenzhi smacked him on the head from behind. How dare the senior brother yell at his junior sister? How dare he shout at her? The two of them combined owed her spirit stones that they probably wouldn't be able to pay back in a hundred years! Lu Wenxing had really gone too far.
Lu Wenxing was hit and then fell silent.
After passing through numerous trials, the three of them finally arrived at the teleportation point on the fourth floor, stood on it together, and went up to the fifth floor.
At this moment, twelve people had been teleported out of the nine-story tower. These were the people who had been eliminated on the fourth floor because they failed the test.
Having missed the trials of the first two levels, they were inherently less resistant to the tower's suction force. Even with defensive artifacts, they were ultimately swept out by the tornado, which was unavoidable.
Those who lack experience in the first two levels and neglect refinement in the fourth level, focusing only on rushing forward to reach higher levels, often find things going against their wishes and are eliminated much earlier than those with less talent.
This may be the reason why the saying "haste makes waste" applies.
Those cultivators who had been skeptical of the best team of six just a few days ago were greatly surprised.
Why are the six people who wasted eight days on the first and second floors all fine, while on the third floor there are two people who are stuck and unable to pass, and on the fourth floor there are twelve people who are eliminated?
But looking at the weakest ones, three of them have already successfully reached the fifth floor!
The inside of this nine-story pagoda was completely different from what Shi Xuan had imagined before entering it.
I thought there would be some rewards to be won on each level, real physical rewards, but in the end I found that all the rewards were just for training the cultivators themselves.
The rewards from these trials are far more valuable than any material rewards! After all, treasures are all external things, while those that a cultivator can collect and use are truly their own!
