"Yes, this Seven Star Tower only looks like it has seven floors from the outside, but in fact, there are nine floors inside the tower. Only when extremely stringent conditions are met will the two hidden floors be open to the disciples participating in the trial."
There was some reminiscence in the divine thought's voice, "The last time someone set foot here was more than two thousand years ago."
More than two thousand years ago
Xu Chunniang couldn't help but recall some of the news she had seen from the Sutra Repository.
Two thousand three hundred years ago, the then supreme elder, Xingchen Zhenren, tore through the void and flew away after his cultivation broke through to the fusion stage.
Since the time of this Star Master, no one else from the Xiaoyao Sect has ascended to the upper realm in the two thousand three hundred years.
It is rumored that the Star Master can refine his body with the power of the nine stars in the sky, which is quite extraordinary.
I wonder if the last person to set foot on the ninth floor of the Seven Star Tower was the Star Master
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the divine thought snort coldly.
"Humph, the difficulty of the trials in the Seven Star Tower will automatically adjust according to the cultivation level of the person who enters the tower. Simply put, you will become stronger when facing a strong opponent and weaker when facing a weak opponent. The sect is really getting worse with each generation. It has taken so long for only one disciple to come up."
Xu Chunniang collected her thoughts and answered in her mind, "There was an internal fight at the Nameless Peak where the Seven Stars Tower is located, which caused the peak to exist in name only. Perhaps this is related to the reason."
"Wuming Peak exists in name only?"
Shen Nian was surprised at first, then silent after a moment, "So that's how it is."
The rise and fall of a sect is a matter of fate. Although he has become an immortal, he cannot interfere too much in the affairs of the lower world.
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment and added.
"Moreover, since Xingchen Zhenren ascended to the upper realm, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become increasingly thinner, and cultivation has become increasingly difficult. I wonder if this is related to the reason."
"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin? Impossible. Spiritual energy comes from heaven and earth and returns to heaven and earth. Although it is often in a state of change, the total amount generally does not change much."
Shen Nian looked unconvinced, "Are you kidding me?"
It was the first time that Xu Chunniang heard about the interpretation of spiritual energy. Is it true that spiritual energy will not decrease with the passage of time
“Disciple is really not lying. As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become increasingly scarce, Xiaoyao Sect has not seen a Spiritualization cultivator for nearly a thousand years. Even for Nascent Soul cultivators, there are only two in total.
Not only our Xiaoyao Sect, but also the other five major sects, the situation is not much different."
"How long has this been going on?"
"About two thousand years?"
Xu Chunniang recalled the records she had seen and deduced, "It should have happened not long after Xingchen Zhenren ascended to heaven."
"Unless this small world of Qianluo Realm has come to an end, this kind of abnormal spiritual energy situation will not occur."
Shen Nian said this, paused slightly and then continued.
"I know about this matter and will report it. According to the regulations, you have passed the eighth level of the Seven Star Tower and come here. This 'Five Elements Body Strengthening Technique' is your reward."
As he spoke, his divine consciousness sent a spell directly into Xu Chunniang's mind.
Xu Chunniang felt a surge of pain in her head. After the pain subsided, a body-building exercise called "Five Elements Body Tempering Technique" was deeply imprinted in her mind.
At the same time, a fist-sized black ball flew out from the shrine on the left and landed in front of her god.
"This is one yuan of heavy water, together with this body-building technique, it will be counted as your reward for this tower adventure."
Xu Chunniang put one yuan of heavy water into the walnut world, but saw that the divine consciousness was about to dissipate after saying this, so she hurriedly called him.
"Senior Immortal, please wait a moment!"
Shen Min paused, "What else?"
She took a deep breath and bowed sincerely.
"Because of the decrease in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the five major sects have not produced a Divine Transformation cultivator for nearly a thousand years. I hope that the seniors can point out a clear way for us."
The mind remained silent for a long time before slowly transmitting the message.
"If this small world of Qianluo Realm has really come to an end, even a Daluo Golden Immortal would be powerless to save the situation. It is almost impossible to cultivate to the Fusion Stage under such circumstances."
Xu Chunniang felt a chill in her heart, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her that day.
She continued to ask, "Could there be other reasons?"
Shen Nian was silent for a longer time this time. After a long time, he replied, "It's possible, but the probability is very small. When you become stronger in the future, you may find the answer after traveling all over Qianluo."
After saying these words, the divine consciousness completely disappeared.
At the same time, a resistance force fell on Xu Chunniang and teleported her out of the Seven Star Tower.
Xu Chunniang looked dazed, and it took her a long time to calm down.
When she first entered the tower, she never expected that she would encounter an "immortal" in the Seven Star Tower.
Even if it was just a divine thought from an immortal, there were only two Nascent Soul cultivators in the Xiaoyao Sect today.
It is a hundred thousand miles away from the realm of immortals.
But the explanation given by the immortal's mind about the reduction of spiritual energy made her feel involuntarily heavy.
Could it be that this majestic Qianluo Realm has come to an end
It took Xu Chunniang a long time to calm down and suppress the worries in her heart.
Her current cultivation level is only at the initial stage of foundation building, and it is still a long way from the golden elixir stage.
These things are too far away from her, so she will talk about them when they really happen in the future.
Besides, didn’t the immortal senior say that perhaps one could find the answer by traveling all over Qianluo
Xu Chunniang felt a little more at ease, thinking back to the tower trial, which lasted nearly a month. Although she encountered many difficulties, she eventually overcame them one by one.
Finally, he entered the ninth floor of the Seven Star Tower and obtained the Five Elements Body Tempering Technique and One Yuan Heavy Water. His harvest was truly amazing.
She flew towards Xiaowu Mountain. It had been seven months since she left the cave.
Go back to see Xiaobai, and find an opportunity to use the Five Elements Body Building Technique to absorb one yuan of heavy water.
These two things were made by immortals, so you can imagine how amazing their value is.
When they got outside the cave, Xu Chunniang deliberately restrained her figure and breath, wanting to launch a surprise attack to see if Xiaobai was practicing well.
She quietly took out the formation talisman and opened the formation. After walking in, she saw Xiaobai trying hard to breathe in spiritual energy, looking very diligent.
Xiaobai was so focused that he didn't even notice she came in.
Xu Chunniang was relieved at first, but then she became confused after she used her spiritual energy to test Xiaobai's cultivation level.
Why did Xiaobai practice so hard but his cultivation level didn't improve at all
And at such a close distance, there is no reason why Xiaobai wouldn't be able to detect her presence
Xu Chunniang couldn't help but wonder, was it because Xiaobai had discovered her in advance when she was still outside the cave and had not yet come in, and then pretended to be trying hard
But without evidence, she couldn't doubt Xiaobai.
If it really tried hard but the effect was mediocre, her rash suspicion would hurt Xiaobai.
But at this moment, Xiaobai, who had been immersed in breathing, seemed to have finally discovered that Xu Chunniang had returned. He kept calling out excitedly, "Squeaking", mixed with a few complaints.
