The only downside to this tower is that the initial rewards are very difficult to spot and are easily overlooked by many.
Fortunately, back on the first level, when all things sank to their feet, Shi Xuan discovered the secret of spiritual power, which prevented them from missing the rewards of the first few levels.
When Shi Xuan and his two senior brothers arrived at the fifth floor, they found that the structure here was almost identical to that of the fourth floor.
It's the same big door, but on the other side lies a frozen world and a forest of conifers.
The only difference is that there are no more ubiquitous tornadoes here; instead, there are wisps of brilliant green light.
Those streaks of light flashed by in an instant, disappearing before anyone could even see what they looked like, so fast that they were almost impossible to catch.
Shi Xuan tried to reach out with his divine sense to touch them, and found that the green light would disappear into thin air before his divine sense could reach them.
This looks very familiar.
Isn't that the golden star on the second-level ceiling?
So, following the previous logic, if the golden stars enhanced their spiritual power, then this ethereal green light must be enhancing their divine sense!
Therefore, they absolutely must catch this green light!
Without hesitation, Shi Xuan stepped into the woods and released all ten of her divine senses, trying her best to touch the fleeting green light.
Even if the green light is fleeting, it is still visible to the naked eye. You may not be able to touch it once or twice, but you will definitely be able to touch it eventually.
During this process, Shi Xuan also discovered some problems with his divine sense, namely, that his attack speed was not fast enough.
The divine sense was strong and flexible enough, but the speed at which it could be released was limited, which was the main reason why it could not touch the green light.
Shi Xuan took this as practice to improve her speed. With this in mind, she focused her energy on the explosive power of her divine sense. Every time she released her divine sense, she accumulated momentum, striving to make her divine sense reach the green light as soon as possible.
After a whole day of persistent effort, Shi Xuan finally succeeded in "catching" a ray of green light.
When that wisp of green light touched his divine sense, it instantly merged with it. In that instant, Shi Xuan's divine sense felt as if it had been scalded by something.
But after that, Shi Xuan felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
She felt that her perception range had expanded! The area she could perceive in the forest had become much larger, and everything within that area had become much clearer!
Just as expected! The result was exactly what Shi Xuan had predicted!
This nine-story tower, each floor has its own logic of reward, with each level interconnected.
In this light, one wonders what kind of trials those cultivators who haven't undergone the first or second level of training are currently facing.
There are now thirty people ahead of them, the highest of whom has reached the seventh floor.
The Nine-Story Pagoda did not make things difficult for these cultivators who had not trained on the first or second floors. Instead, it gave them corresponding rewards, though these were rather ordinary compared to the rewards that Shi Xuan and the others received for their qualitative leap.
Even such an "ordinary" reward is a rare treasure for the cultivators who are still watching from outside; it is a treasure that cannot be obtained even in ordinary secret realms.
Shi Xuan continued, and she had already caught three green lights. Like the little golden stars, these green lights were only most effective the first time; their effectiveness decreased with each subsequent use.
By the time Xuan "captures" the fifth green light, it will have no effect on her at all.
During this process, thanks to the green light, her divine sense was able to reach faster and faster, and now she could easily "catch" the green light.
But the green light was no longer effective.
Shi Xuan thought to himself: You see, what can be easily obtained is indeed of little use.
As for Lu Shenzhi, well, his ten years of confinement were not in vain. His spiritual cultivation is beyond that of ordinary people. In this forest, his speed in catching green light is even faster than Shi Xuan's.
Only Lu Wenxing was still relentlessly chasing the green light, but to no avail.
Shi Xuan took out a few spiritual fruits from his storage space and handed a few to Lu Shenzhi. The two ate the spiritual fruits while watching Lu Wenxing's comical actions, treating it as a pastime.
Lu Wenxing was completely unaware that he was engrossed in the game of chasing the green light and enjoying it immensely.
An hour passed, and he still hadn't found anything, so Lu Shenzhi came out and called him back.
"If you continue like this, I'm afraid you'll end up staying on this floor until the nine-story tower closes."
Lu Wenxing was very dissatisfied with the green light: "These little green things are too cunning. They look like strands of scallion, but I can't even touch them! It's infuriating!"
"How did you release your divine sense? Was there a process of accumulation?" Lu Shenzhi asked.
"What accumulation? Why do you need to accumulate anything when releasing your divine sense?"
As expected, Lu Shenzhi rubbed his forehead and said, "We need to suppress a few strands of divine sense until they are released to a certain extent, so that the divine sense can be released faster."
Having no other choice, Lu Shenzhi had to teach him how to control his divine sense more comprehensively.
Then, Lu Shenzhi simultaneously ordered the two of them to join forces and attack the green light from three sides, finally managing to reach it.
After Lu Wenxing's divine sense was enhanced by the green light, he excitedly jumped up and shouted to Lu Shenzhi, "I can feel it! This nine-story pagoda is truly amazing! Senior Brother is indeed the most handsome! Much more handsome than Yan Lingyi!"
Lu Shenzhi... suddenly regretted helping him. What should he do? It would have been better to let him jump around here for twenty days and then teleport him out at the end, so as to save himself from having to watch him cause trouble.
Lu Wenxing was completely unaware of this, only feeling that he was particularly good at speaking.
The three of them spent just over a day on this fifth floor.
At this point, twelve and a half days had passed since the thirty-day period ended, and the three of them successfully reached the sixth floor.
To their surprise, more than twenty of the people in front of them were now gathered on the sixth floor.
When Shi Xuan and the other two arrived, everyone turned to look at them.
This sixth floor does not have a teleportation array leading to the upper floors, but rather a very wide spiral staircase.
This staircase occupies most of the sixth floor, and the cultivators who did not reach the seventh floor are now standing at a certain point on this huge spiral staircase, turning their heads to look at the three of them.
More than twenty people stood on the stairs, some near the top and others still halfway up.
They all looked like they were struggling.
Shi Xuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that this wide staircase itself seemed to be the source of the difficulty in getting from one floor to the next.
