Chapter 396: Stepping Into the Seventh Floor

Lou Mu Yan, who was comprehending on the second floor, didn’t know about Ao Rong’s bet with the several Elders.

She was currently walking continuously in the dark space on the second floor. When the first scene appeared, she found that the introduction of talismans on the screen had become a demonstration by a Talisman Master.

After remembering the production methods and techniques on the screen, she continued to follow the dark road with no end in sight, only this time, it took twice as long to see the second screen.

The time in the space passed little by little, as if twenty years had passed just like that.

When the dazzling light at the end appeared, Lou Mu Yan successfully entered the third floor to comprehend.

At this time, there were many people who comprehended to the second floor, but still much slower than her.

In this way, she kept walking and viewing in the hidden dark space. Each floor of images showed different things. Later, although it was all Talisman Masters who were demonstrating, but the difficulty had obviously increased significantly.

When she arrived on the fifth floor, during the making of talismans demonstrated by the Talisman Master in the video, there were even a few rare talismans. On Tian’ling Continent, these refining methods had long been lost and was very precious.

With each additional floor, the time it took to find and walk in the dark doubled, or even by ten-fold. The content performed in the images were very fast and only appeared once. If one didn’t remember it, then they would lose the opportunity to continue to comprehend.

Each time, after Lou Mu Yan watched the images on the screen, she would sit cross-legged and rest while recalling it to comprehend.

She had always had a talent for making talismans, and with the accumulations of her past life, she could remember the contents of the video after seeing it only once.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, except for Alchemy that was carefully taught by Master, she was self-taught in all the other specialisations, so it was inevitable that although she was proficient in the skills, but it wasn’t comprehensive.

After comprehending to the fifth floor of the Talisman Pagoda, she found that many questions that she couldn’t understand before suddenly became clear after watching the video, and many skills were also integrated with the things she had mastered herself with the things in the video and she benefited at lot.

“That girl is about to finish the fifth floor.” The Elder of the Talisman Pagoda said nervously, staring at the reflection in the crystal ball.

At this time, they hoped both that Lou Mu Yan could walk out of the fifth floor and enter the sixth floor, but also worried that she would go to the sixth floor, because they would lose the Pagoda Spirit’s Force that they had worked so hard to accumulate over the past decade.

In short, the Elders had very contradictory emotions at the time, and they were all watching for her following performances.

When the light at the end disappeared, Lou Mu Yan’s lips curled up—so she arrived on the sixth floor?

“She—She was really teleported to the sixth floor, and in such a short time.” The Talisman Pagoda’s Guardian Elder said in disbelief.

Ao Rong revealed a boastful look, “What’s the fuss about, the little girl’s talent is definitely not only this. Hurry and go and prepare the Pagoda Spirit’s Force.”

“Humph, you said before that she needed to comprehend to the sixth floor of the Alchemy Pagoda, Array Pagoda, and Talisman Pagoda. She only reached it in the Talisman Pagoda right now.” The Talisman Pagoda’s Elder said.

Ao Rong raised an eyebrow: “I will do what I say, you think I’ll deny it? Just keep your eyes open wide and watch.”

When Lou Mu Yan comprehended to the sixth floor, Zi Che Shi entered the fifth floor of the Talisman Pagoda to comprehend, and Di Shi Tian also arrived at the crystal wall of the fifth floor to comprehend.

The several Elders wouldn’t help revealing their joy, “It seems that the newly promoted Inner Sect Pupils this time aren’t bad either!”

“That Di Shi Tian is Di Shi Feng’s blood-related younger brother?” The eyes of the Elder of the Array Pagoda lit up.

“He’s indeed the younger brother of Di Shi Feng. They’re also known as the ‘Twin Pride of Arrays’, but the relationship between the brothers is very ordinary.” Ao Rong also paid some attention to the Di Brothers.

“I wonder if he can also arrive at the sixth floor like his elder brother?” The Elder of the Array Pagoda appeared expectant.

“Di Shi Feng1 awakened his talent at the age of three, and Di Shi Tian only awakened his talent for cultivation when he was eighteen years old, but he isn’t weak at all. Like Lou Mu Yan, he was also famous for being trash.” Ao Rong was also rather concerned with the two of them.

“What, awakened his talent for cultivation only when he was eighteen? Then he’s achieved what he has in only four years?” The Elder of the Array Pagoda was shocked.

“If that’s the case, isn’t he more talented than Di Shi Feng2?” The Elder of the Array Pagoda said.

“Of course. I actually like these rising stars better.” Ao Rong’s expression revealed extreme pride, “Di Shi Tian was also brought to this Sect by me, and little Lou girl is even more talented than him.”

“What did you mean when you said that Lou girl and Di Shi Tian were both famous for being trash before? Isn’t her talent very strong now?” The Elder of the Talisman Pagoda asked with interest.

“Before sixteen, she was born with the Terminal Meridians Constitution. Later, by chance, she refined the Marrow Cleansing Pill and eradicated the Terminal Meridians Constitution.

“Since then, she’s been out of control in cultivation, and it only took two years to reach the point where she is today.”

Ao Rong had investigated Lou Mu Yan’s past in depth. The high-level Alchemy Master she mentioned didn’t exist at all. He guessed that the Marrow Cleansing Pill at that time was refined by this girl herself.

“What? It only took two years. This talent is too Heaven-defying.” The several Elders’ eyes widened in shock.

In two years, she cultivated from a Sword Novice to a Peak-Phase Sword Venerable, and she was also highly talented in specialisations. Such a genius had basically never appeared on Tian’ling Continent before.

“No wonder it was rumoured that those born with terminal meridians are actually the children abandoned by this world, but they’re also the favoured children by this world. Once their terminal meridians are eradicated, they will soar into the sky.” The Elder of the Talisman Pagoda sighed with a mix of emotions.

While the several people were sighing, the Elder of the Smithing Pagoda suddenly stood up and pointed at the crystal reflection and exclaimed.

“Heavens! Look, she’s entering the seventh floor.”

The others also looked over and happened to see Lou Mu Yan being teleported to the independent space on the seventh floor.

“This— This—” The Elder of the Talisman Pagoda was so excited he didn’t know what to say, “Prodigy!”

“Let’s hurry and report this to the Sect Leader.” The Elder of the Smithing Pagoda said.

Ao Rong raised his hand to stop them: “No need to hurry, it won’t be too late to report the results of the comprehension of the other Pagodas after the Talisman Pagoda. What she is best at is actually not talismans.”

“Then what’s she best at?”

“Arrays. Based on what I’ve seen, she is best at arrays, and in the assessment competition for the Inner Pupils of the Sect, she and Di Shi Tian both revealed the ability of a Grade 5 Array Master.” Ao Rong replied.

The Elder of the Array Pagoda’s eyes widened, “Such young Grade 5 Array Masters?”

Immediately, his old face bloomed into a smile and said: “It seems that there’s really no need to report to the Sect Leader immediately. This old man sure wants to see which floor she can arrive at in the Array Pagoda.”

The calm gazes of the other Elders also revealed some hope in addition to surprise.

In the Talisman Pagoda, Lou Mu Yan didn’t rush to begin to comprehend the seventh floor, but instead spent two days sitting cross-legged to digest what she had comprehended in the previous six floors.

When she walked to the seventh floor, Di Shi Tian also stepped into the sixth floor of the Array Pagoda.
