Chapter 397: Alarm the Superiors of the Sect

After Lou Mu Yan’s Mental Energy entered the seventh-floor space, it was pitch black as usual.

She stepped forward, and time passed little by little. In this darkness, she walked aimlessly year after year like a mortal.

It took a long time this time. Even with Lou Mu Yan’s temperament, she began to wonder if she was walking in the wrong direction.

However, after wondering over and over again, she was still firm in her choice. As long as she didn’t arrive at the end, then she would continue to walk.

Finally, after as if more than ten years had passed, a projection suddenly appeared in front of her.

In the projection was still a high-level Talisman Master demonstrating the refining process of talismans, but this time, the talismans were even rarer and more precious, and there was even a method of suppressing and refining talismans from Demonic Souls.

After the projection was demonstrated in front of her once, it automatically disappeared into the dark space.

Occasionally, confusion appeared in her eyes. She stood silently, pondering, but the time she spent here was ten times longer than the time she spent on the previous floor.

When the confusion in her eyes disappeared, and she gradually understood more and more, she continued to walk forward.

Time passed little by little, and she seemed to have walked for hundreds of years before she came to the end of the seventh-floor space.

Walking non-stop in this space, there was no path ahead, only infinite darkness and loneliness.

If it wasn’t for the numerous trials she experienced, brushing past death in her previous life, and having the patience from the experience that a single cultivation moment could be a century, she might not be able to persist either.

Moreover, walking along and wandering in this dark space was very tempering, and the irritability in her heart was gradually smoothed out.

When the dazzling light beam on the seventh floor appeared, Lou Mu Yan stretched out her hand to block the light.

It was just that the power of the space didn’t teleport her to the eighth floor this time. Just as she was wondering why, the mechanical voice sounded again in this space.

“The Pagodas of Enlightenment has nine floors in total, but the space in the lower interface can only accept the memories of seven floors. The other two floors are in Guang’ling World, and those who have the chance will naturally encounter it and complete their comprehension.”

Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows. The last two floors actually needed her to ascend to Guang’ling World to find the Pagodas of Enlightenment to comprehend.

But with some thought, she calmed. She had benefited a lot from the inheritance of the first seven floors. Many things that she barely understood were now all clearly grasped through the demonstration of the projections.

Because the last two floors didn’t exist in the Eight Extremes Sect’s Pagodas of Enlightenment, she was teleported out of the Talisman Pagoda.

At this time, many people had already been teleported out from the Pagodas of Enlightenment and left, while there were also some people who would go to the other Pagodas to continue to comprehend.

Next, she walked to the Array Pagoda beside her and began to comprehend.

“She actually didn’t reach the eighth floor.” Ao Rong said with some disappointment.

The Elder of the Talisman Pagoda glanced at him, then after thinking about it, still told the truth, “There’s actually no eighth and nineth floors in these five Pagodas.”

“What? Why not?” Ao Rong asked in surprise.

“These nine-floor Pagodas of Enlightenment are said to be a Saint Tool refined by a powerful Almighty from Guang’ling World. The Pagodas of Enlightenment here at our Eight Extremes Sect is just a replica, so the top two floors are missing.” The Elder of the Alchemy Pagoda said.

“Then where’s the real Saint Tool? How did our Sect obtain a replica?” Ao Rong asked in curiosity.

The Elder of the Talisman Pagoda rolled his eyes at him, “The real Saint Tool is naturally in Guang’ling World. As long as one has comprehended to the seventh floor in the replicas, I heard they will all have the opportunity to comprehend the final two floors eventually.

“As for why our Sect has the replicas, we don’t know either. It seems that it’s the Founding Ancestor that brought it back.”

“That’s sure a pity, otherwise, with this little girl’s comprehension ability, she might really be able to enter the eighth floor.” Ao Rong shook his head and sighed.

The Elder of the Alchemy Pagoda looked at him speechlessly: “Come on, being able to comprehend until the seventh floor is already very impressive. The probability that this little girl will become a Grade 7 Talisman Master in the future is at least sixty percent.”

“True. If she can ascend to Guang’ling World in the future, she may even have the opportunity to continue to comprehend the upper two floors.” Ao Rong said with confidence.

“…”

The corners of the lips of the Elders twitched. She was only at Sword Venerable cultivation base and he was already thinking of her ascending to Guang’ling World? Dream on.

The Spiritual Force of Tian’ling Continent was very thin, and it was very difficult for one to enter into the highest realm. It had already been numerous years since there have been Sword Masters who have ascended, and they had long given up hope.

They were also not going to argue with Ao Rong. This person had too many grand truths, they can’t win him verbally.

“Di Shi Tian1 has also entered the seventh floor of the Array Pagoda.” The Elder of the Array Pagoda said in pleasant surprise.

“Not bad, not bad, it’s worth opening the Pagodas of Enlightenment to produce these two geniuses.” The Elder of the Talisman Pagoda said with a smile.

One must know that each time the Pagodas of Enlightenment were opened, the price they paid was very high. Not only did it require millions of Spiritual Stones, but it also required the joint efforts of the Ancestors of the Sect to open the Restriction before it could be opened.

And the minimal interval between the times it opens was not less than ten years. Originally, the last time it was opened was three years ago, so it was reasonable to say that it wouldn’t be opened again until after seven years.

But because of the special situation this time, in order to deal with the Six Major Sects’ Grand Competition, the several Ancestors spent a lot of essence to reopen the Pagodas of Enlightenment, simply hoping that the newly promoted inner pupils of the Eight Extremes Sect could obtain higher achievements and more spots for the Land of Inheritance.

So in fact, the twenty people, including Lou Mu Yan, were lucky to meet such an opportunity this time, otherwise they would have to wait at least seven or eight years before being able to come here.

“But compared to the two of them, the others sure are a lot inferior!” The Elder of the Taming Pagoda sighed.

The pupils who had entered the Taming Pagoda before had only entered the fifth floor at the highest, and they had yet to finish.

“The overall level of the pupils in this session is already pretty good, but they’re all rather inconspicuous because of Lou Mu Yan and Di Shi Tian, those two geniuses.” Ao Rong said.

“True. Look, Lou Mu Yan already entered the fourth floor of the Array Pagoda. Her speed sure is fast.” The Elder of the Array Pagoda revealed amazement in his eyes.

“She has every hope of entering the seventh floor of the Array Pagoda.”

“Hopefully.”

After entering the Array Pagoda, Lou Mu Yan found that the properties of the several Pagodas were actually the same. Because of her first experience and her foundation in arrays was higher than in talismans, so she easily comprehended until the sixth floor.

It also took less time after stepping into the seventh floor. When she came out from the seventh floor and walked to the Alchemy Pagoda, the Elders in the stone house couldn’t remain calm anymore.

“Lou Mu Yan has already passed the seventh floor of two Pagodas. No, this news must be reported.” The Elder of the Array Pagoda said excitedly. At this time, he had completely forgotten about the bet with Ao Rong.

“Alright, this old man will report immediately to the Sect Leader.” Ao Rong nodded and immediately walked out of the stone house to find the Sect Leader.

The time outside wasn’t the same as the time within the space, but a month still passed just like that.

The pupils who entered the Pagodas of Enlightenment together were teleported out one after the other. Among them, the best results were from Di Shi Tian, with having arrived at the seventh floor of the Array Pagoda and the sixth floor of the Smithing Pagoda.

Lou Mu Yan, however, had already finished comprehending the seventh floor of the Alchemy Pagoda and entered the Smithing Pagoda.

At this time, the Sect Leader also followed a graceful, white-haired middle-aged man with the demeanour of a transcendent being, and a youthful complexion into the Secret Area.
