C1115 8th Floor
Zhang Fann carefully walked to the center of the area. Suddenly, the symbols on these stone pillars lit up at the same time, turning into countless starlight and gathering in the sky. At the same time, all the stone pillars disappeared. The ground and the sky were filled with starlight.2
When Zhang Fann saw this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned. He felt as if he was in the universe. He could only see this scene when he was in meditation. It wasn't real, but it was different here. It seemed like everything was real.
After seeing the scene in front of him, Zhang Fann couldn't help but frown. What was going on? Could it be that this place really had a teleportation function, as if the teleportation formation in Desert Pass had transported him to the outer space?
However, Zhang Fann knew in his heart that the energy in some pillars could transport him to the outer space. This was impossible. Besides, he would definitely feel something if he was really teleported to the starry sky. However, there was no pulling force at all. That meant that he was not teleported at all.
Therefore, in Zhang Fann's opinion, everything in front of him was just an illusion. Normally, when one entered an illusion, something would affect one's soul and sea of consciousness. Rather than saying it was an illusion, it was more like a dream because the two were very similar.
Although they were similar, there was a certain difference between the two. In a dream, one could wake up, but when one woke up, everything would turn into bubbles, and it would not do any harm to the person. Everything was just a big dream. When one woke up, everything would turn into nothingness.
However, an illusion was different. If it was an illusion, it would usually cause damage to one's soul consciousness. If this person died in an illusion, then in reality, this person would become a living corpse or directly die.
Therefore, in Zhang Fann's opinion, if this place was really an illusion, then there was still a certain degree of danger. He still needed to be extra careful.
Zhang Fann looked around and used his Spiritual Sense to probe the surroundings. He found that this place was really the same as the real starry sky. There was no end to the surroundings. He could not find the boundary with his own Spiritual Sense.
Furthermore, everything around him would turn into nothingness. There wouldn't be any obstacles, and there wouldn't be any living things.
Zhang Fann couldn't help but feel curious. In this situation, he couldn't tell the direction, and he didn't know where he was.
He felt that there was no real ground under his feet. In other words, he was completely suspended in the air. It was as if the stars in the sky were eternal.
At this moment, some starlight appeared in front of Zhang Fann's eyes. The starlight turned into a human being. He was as tall as Zhang Fann. He was holding a sword made of starlight. His face could not be seen clearly. All the starlight was like the stars in the sky.
Zhang Fann was a little curious. He frowned and looked at the person in front of him. He could not help but think to himself. Could it be that this was the expert of the eighth floor? Or could it be that after defeating him, he would be able to smoothly pass the eighth floor?
At this moment, the figure in front of him suddenly emitted starlight. Gradually, an old man appeared. The old man's hair and beard were completely white. He was holding a long sword in his hand. Judging from his appearance, he indeed had a somewhat sage-like demeanor.
When the old man's figure fully appeared, Zhang Fann frowned because he found that this old man had a kind of superior aura around him. At the same time, Zhang Fann could clearly feel that this old man was many realms higher than him. He even felt that he couldn't breathe in front of this old man.
However, Zhang Fann also had some doubts in his heart. According to the requirements of the Cosmos Pagoda, Heaven Piercing Stage warriors were not allowed to enter this place. Therefore, from this point of view, there shouldn't be any Heaven Piercing Stage warriors here.
Could it be that they were purposely preventing those who entered this place from entering the Cosmos Pagoda? So they were preventing a Heaven Piercing Stage warrior from entering? Or was there another reason?
Thinking of this, Zhang Fann couldn't help but look around. If this was an illusion, then it was reasonable for such an expert to exist, because everything was possible in the illusion.
At this time, the old man looked at Zhang Fann, who was a year ago, and said faintly, "Young man, it has been hundreds of years since anyone has come here. It has been hundreds of years since anyone has spoken to me. Congratulations, you have the chance to speak to me."
Zhang Fann was stunned after hearing the old man's words. In Zhang Fann's opinion, everything here was just constructed by the Cosmos Tower. There wasn't anything that was truly intelligent, but this old man in front of him was actually able to communicate with him. This meant that he was an independent individual. If that was the case, then why didn't he leave the Cosmos Tower?
"Senior, I've come all the way here as well. May I know how to address you?" Zhang Fann put away the long sword in his hand and cupped his fists at the old man in front of him.
The old man chuckled and said to Zhang Fann, "My name is Chang Kun. A thousand years ago, I was the Sect Master of Nebula Sect. However, during a great war, Nebula Sect has disappeared from the world, and... Also, since then, my body and soul had been destroyed. I only have a single remnant soul wandering in the world. I thought that my life would end just like that, but I never thought that... To be able to leave a place in the Cosmos Tower so that I can survive in this way."
Pausing for a moment, Chang Kun continued, "From then on, I became an examiner in the Cosmos Tower. If you want to pass through here, you have to pass through me first. Otherwise, I wouldn't exist anymore. "
Chang Kun smiled and looked at Zhang Fann in front of him. He smiled bitterly and said, "However, since I've been here for hundreds of years, I've never seen anyone who could come here. So, I spent most of my time in a deep sleep. It is really boring. "
Zhang Fann frowned slightly when he heard this. He said to Chang Kun in front of him, "It seems that senior has been waiting here for a long time. This junior has been fortunate for three lifetimes. Senior, I wonder if there is anyone who can pass through your trial and reach the ninth floor in the past hundred years?"
Chang Kun glanced at Zhang Fann and shook his head slightly, "No. No one has been able to pass since I came here. This is because this place is a very complicated mechanism, unless it is someone who has mastered the Power of Stars. If someone didn't even know what the Power of Stars was, it would be extremely difficult for them to pass this trial.
