However, the so-called difficulties were all relative. For a Heaven's Pride with 8-star talent like Fan Wuji who lived alone, the Hundred Spirit Steps wasn't too difficult. Right now, his Hundred Spirit Steps had not reached the Initial Stage, and was even more agile and terrifying than the footwork of some disciples who had cultivated to the Advanced Stage.0
Among the countless halves that were comparable to the Spirit Sea Realm, he was leisurely walking. His footsteps seemed slow but were actually swift. When he erupted, he would often leave afterimages behind him. His trajectory was strange and unpredictable as he moved through the halves of the spirit bodies like he was taking a stroll in a courtyard.
Soon, he arrived at the screen of light on the fourth floor and rushed up the stairs to the fifth floor of the Sword Tower. At this moment, his Gu Qingcheng had also stepped onto the fourth level. The instant she stepped onto this level, all she saw was the back of her figure. It was the back of a young man who was climbing the fifth flight of stairs.
At this moment, Gu Qingcheng had a bitter smile on her face. She had originally thought that her talent, talent, and battle power were all on par with those of the same age as her. Earlier, when Fan Wuji defeated her, she still had some confidence in being able to do it. However, this was the first time a feeling of powerlessness arose under her destined back.
"It's time to stop hiding. "It's time for me to pass the fourth floor." Gu Qingcheng immediately mumbled to herself. Afterwards, she directly charged into the group of spirits. She didn't have much time, so killing ten spirit ocean level spirit bodies in a quarter of an hour wasn't a simple matter.
And now on the fifth floor, Fan Wuji was once again looking at the far away wall. Indeed, there were mottled sword marks on the walls of the fifth floor.
"Interesting. The aura of the Dao of the Sword is contained within the fifth sword scar. It's much more terrifying than the fourth sword mark." Almost every increase in level will cause the sword aura in the sword scar to be three times more terrifying. " Fan Wuji was also a skilled swordsman, and as soon as he entered the third level, he was able to see through the mysteries behind the sword marks.
"The fifth level's requirement is to pass the eighteen star Dou Sword Formation!"
Fan Wuji's heart trembled. All formations were formed by many people, allowing them to gather the power of many people and unleash an extremely powerful force.
Thus, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance. Following his gaze, he saw that the spirit bodies on the fifth floor were spread out evenly, gathering into a group of eighteen and a half spirit bodies. These spirit bodies were at least at the middle stage of the spirit ocean, and their spirits were much higher than those of the first four levels. These half spirits were actually wielding long swords. These long swords were also condensed from Spiritual Aura.
"The so called Eighteen Star Arena is probably a sword formation formed by eighteen spirit bodies holding long swords, with the Star Arena as the core and profound mystery. If I don't expose my cultivation level, I might not be able to pass through this sword formation. However, since you've come, let's try out this sword formation's authenticity. " Fan Wuji, he said in a low voice.
As he spoke, he took a big stride and afterimages appeared behind him. Like an arrow leaving the bowstring, he charged into the middle of the eighteen star Dou Sword Formation. At this moment, the eighteen spirit bodies held swords in their hands. With the changes in the rules of the Circulatory Star Wars, they coordinated their attacks on Fan Wuji from various angles.
Fan Wuji loudly shouted "Good come!", and he immediately gathered all the surging spiritual energy in his body, followed by the eruption of sword intent. Right now, his sword intent carried a sense of perfection. Today, when he had just broken through to the Spirit Sea, under the effects of the three flowers gathering together, he felt blessed in his heart. He pushed his sword intent to the fourth level and mastered the Extreme Realm sword intent.
With the Ji Realm's sword intent and his early Spirit Sea's cultivation base, coupled with his invincible power, his sword art was unpredictable, and the footwork beneath his feet was profound and agile. He was extremely outstanding in all aspects, almost without any weaknesses. However, he still felt a great pressure from the eighteen star Dou Sword Formation.
At first, he was able to resist for a bit or two, but after thirty moves, his white robe was cut open for the first time. At this moment, he felt as if he wasn't facing eighteen half spirits, but eighteen bright stars.
After another twenty moves, Fan Wuji's injuries were getting worse. He knew that he had reached his limit. If he didn't reveal his body refining cultivation, he would never be able to pass this level.
"Move!"
Fan Wuji immediately took out his identity token, and activated its energy. A wave of spatial energy transported him out of the Sword Tower.
He only felt a wave of dizziness before he appeared outside the Sword Tower. As for the lonely youth, he looked at Fan Wuji in surprise. It was just a casual look, but Fan Wuji felt like he was being seen through, like he had no intention of escaping.
The watchman said in a hoarse voice, "Take this proof and it will prove that you have passed the fourth floor of the Sword Tower. "According to the rules set by the ancestors of the Heavenly Sword Sect, once one passes the fourth layer of the Sword Tower, outer disciples can be promoted directly to inner disciples."
Fan Wuji took the proof, and thanked the Tower Guardian. Then he took the proof and went back to his house, packed his things, and prepared to report to the upper mountain.
Ten minutes after Fan Wuji left, Gu Qingcheng teleported out of the Sword Tower. He looked at her, not surprised. He praised, "Little girl, you have come many times in the last year and have finally passed the fourth floor. Interesting, within a day, there are actually two outer disciples who passed the tower and became inner disciples. And at the same time, there are people from the main peak. "
As for Weng Zhenhai and Yu Qingtian, both of them were teleported out at the same time. The two of them looked dejected, obviously not having passed the fourth floor.
At this moment, the watchman passed Gu Qingcheng a piece of proof. As for Weng Zhenhai and Yu Qingtian, they both clearly understood the meaning behind that piece of evidence. The two of them walked up one after another, and with a tone of envy, they congratulated Gu Qingcheng on passing the 4th level and becoming an inner disciple.
Generally speaking, there were three kinds of inner disciples. One was those who were talented enough to directly enter the inner sect, and the other was those who were at the Spirit Sea Realm and wanted to apply for the inner sect examination. Even if an outer sect disciple were to reach the Spirit Sea Realm, they would only have a thirty percent chance of becoming an inner sect disciple. The third method was to enter the Sword Tower. Inner disciples like these were the rarest. The Sword Tower was created by the Heavenly Sword Sect ancestors, and it was extremely difficult to pass every level of the test.
Of the three types of inner court disciples, the first had the greatest potential and belonged to the Talent type, and the third had the highest battle power and belonged to the Combat type. The second method was to step into the Spirit Sea Realm. Those who passed the examination and entered the inner sect were the most ordinary.
The next day, Fan Wuji pushed open the door to his residence, and Gu Qingcheng also rushed over as planned. The two of them had both passed the fourth floor of the Sword Tower, so they had arranged to report to the peak together this morning.
The fact that there were two outer disciples at the same time who had entered the Sword Tower to become an inner disciple had long since spread far and wide. Even the outer disciples of the other eight peaks had heard about it. Almost all the outer sect disciples were gathered here, and they all respectfully sent the two of them off with their gazes.
Gu Qingcheng gave a radiant smile, glancing at Fan Wuji as the two of them climbed up the peak side by side.
