After putting the Ascension Sect’s previous Sectmaster’s remains away, Chu Feng arrived onto the ninth floor.
When he arrived onto the ninth floor, the pressure from the Southern Cyanwood Forest’s Pagoda became very enormous. It was even comparable to the bottom of the Ancient Era’s Immortal Pond.
However, this amount of pressure was still not a problem for Chu Feng. After all, he was able to withstand the pressure at the bottom of the Ancient Era’s Immortal Pond, so how could the pressure here possibly affect him?
However, as he continued onward up the stairs leading to the tenth floor, at the time when he arrived before the juncture to the tenth floor, another spirit formation gate appeared before him.
With the experience that Chu Feng possessed, he felt that this spirit formation gate was extraordinary. Although it appeared nothing but ordinary; there was a large possibility that there would be a formation array on the other side of this spirit formation gate. Moreover, it would not be a simple one. Likely, it would be the final checkpoint of the Southern Cyanwood Forest’s Pagoda, the thing that would be hardest to pass.
“It would appear that trying to pass through this Southern Cyanwood Forest’s Pagoda is more difficult than I expected. No wonder no one has managed to reach the top after all these thousands of years.”
Having reached this point, Chu Feng had no other option. If he wanted to reach the top, he had to enter this place.
Thus, Chu Feng did not hesitate and directly entered the spirit formation gate.
“Boom.”
At the moment when he stepped past the spirit formation gate, Chu Feng suddenly felt his vision turn dark. At this instant, it felt like there were explosions running through his brain. While his eyes were fuzzy, his ears were rumbling.
“What a nauseating formation array.”
Chu Feng determined in his heart that the situation wasn’t good. This formation array was truly too nauseating. It did not test one’s endurance; instead, it directly affected one’s senses.
At this moment, all five of Chu Feng’s senses were being affected. It gave him a very nauseating sensation. There was nothing Chu Feng could do to change that. All he could do was to continue onward through sheer willpower.
This was truly a type of torture enough to cause one’s collapse. Even Chu Feng was beginning to sway slightly.
That was because he discovered that if he were to stop moving, the effect on his senses would be tolerable. However, once he began to move, the effect would increase. However, if he were to retreat, then the effect would disappear completely.
But, Chu Feng could not retreat. After all, this matter not only concerned the honor of the Southern Cyanwood Forest, it also concerned his honor.
Therefore, Chu Feng could only continue onward. Even if his willpower crumbled, even if he encountered life-threatening danger, Chu Feng would still not give up. Furthermore, at this moment, Chu Feng had some confidence in himself.
Finally, with Chu Feng’s tenacious willpower, the nauseating sensation and the feeling of his consciousness in disarray disappeared. What appeared before Chu Feng was a spirit formation gate.
Turning back to look, Chu Feng was able to see the spirit formation gate that led to the tenth floor. It turned out that what he had walked through earlier had merely been a long hallway.
On all four walls of this long hallway shone bright, glittering runes and symbols. Most importantly, Chu Feng actually felt a trace of familiar aura from this place. It was Bai Ruochen’s aura.
“That girl is indeed lying. What does she mean by saying she only reached the sixth floor, she has clearly reached the ninth floor and even walked this long hallway.”
“However, why did she lie?” Chu Feng thought for a moment. He did not understand why Bai Ruochen lied. However, he knew that she had not passed the test of the long hallway. She had only gotten one third of the way through before giving up. As for Chu Feng, he had passed through the entire hallway.
Thinking to this part, Chu Feng displayed a complacent smile on his face. That was because the final test was indeed extremely hard. However, he had managed to succeed.
At this moment, Chu Feng took a step forward. He passed through that spirit formation gate. When his vision returned, he had entered the tenth floor of the Southern Cyanwood Forest’s Pagoda.
Compared to the ninth floor, the tenth floor was even more narrow and truly even smaller.
However, that was not important. What was important was that in this small and narrow space was a very important item.
It was a stone sculpture of an old man. This old man possessed a large and robust figure, and a handsome appearance. With the extraordinary aura displayed by the sculpture, one could tell with a single glance that the old man had been an extraordinary expert.
Most importantly, this old man was holding a sword in his hand.
