Chapter 23: Aspiring for the Top Pavilion!
The three treasured places of Fengxian Sect are the True Phoenix Secret Realm and the Sword Washing Pool in the back mountain of the Weapon Refining Peak.

The people at the Weapon Refining Peak forged a spiritual flying sword, which could transform from mortal to treasure as long as it was thrown in.

The last one is Wending Pavilion, the most mysterious of the three treasures.

The Wending Pavilion is not in any place in the Fengxian Sect, but it is everywhere.

I heard that this place exists in another dimension and you need a key to enter.

And this key is kept by a special person.

So to go in, you need someone to lead you.

Zhao Suxuan smiled and said:

"You actually have a very strong talent. I noticed it when I accepted you as my true disciple. I can promise you that when you reach the Golden Core stage, I will accept you as my personal disciple. I also hope that you will not let me down."

The realm of golden elixir, accepted as a personal disciple?
I am the golden elixir now!

And it is the Great Perfection of Golden Elixir!
"Thank you, Master. I will work hard to practice and will not let you down!"

Wei Zhen nodded heavily.

"Go, go to Fengxian Palace, someone will take you there." Zhao Suxuan nodded.

"Yes, Master!" Wei Zhen immediately retreated respectfully.

Seeing Wei Zhen leave, Zhao Suxuan's beautiful eyes moved slightly, and she murmured softly:

"He has been practicing for less than ten years, and he is already in the middle stage of foundation building. As expected, I was right. Moreover, his aura is more solid than any other disciple, which is really rare. Given time, I believe he will be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Wei Zhen left the Sword Vein Peak Master and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He actually didn't deal with this master very often and didn't know him well.

Facing her, it's quite stressful.

The main thing is that she inexplicably ran to her cave to sleep, and was also monitoring her outside the cave... It's hard not to think too much.

When Wei Zhen arrived at the Fengxian Palace Square, he immediately saw Ming Yuechan, dressed in snow-white clothes, and the guardian elder Qing Ling, wrapped in a black cloak, standing in the square.

When the two girls saw Wei Zhen, they immediately looked up.

As soon as Wei Zhen landed, he stepped forward and bowed to greet them: "Greetings to the Saint, greetings to the Elder!"

"Junior Brother Wei, it seems that you have made a breakthrough. Congratulations!" Ming Yuechan smiled.

Dressed in white, she looks ethereal and truly unique.

"Congratulations too, Senior Sister!" Wei Zhen could tell at a glance that Ming Yuechan's aura was different from before, and she had become calmer and more restrained.

There is only one possibility, that is Ming Yuechan has entered the Nascent Soul stage!
Nascent Soul Realm!
This is the state I have always dreamed of!

Ming Yuechan smiled: "Thank you, Junior Brother."

"Saintess, since Wei Zhen is here, let's go in." Qing Ling, who was standing next to him, had already known about Wei Zhen's breakthrough and had been watching secretly. When she saw Wei Zhen coming, she spoke up, not wanting to delay any further.

Ming Yuechan nodded.

Wei Zhen's heart trembled.

It looks like I'm going in with Mingyuechan.

As a saint, Mingyuechan should have had more than one opportunity to enter the Wending Pavilion.

She has just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, so it should be more beneficial for her to go in and gain some enlightenment.

"Okay, Elder, let's get started." Ming Yuechan nodded and explained to Wei Zhen:
"Junior Brother Wei, it is not easy to open the entrance to Wending Pavilion once, so this time we have to enter Wending Pavilion together."

"Okay, Senior Sister Mingyue." Wei Zhen nodded.

At this time.

Qing Ling had already opened the entrance, and the altar was shining brightly. When she heard Wei Zhen address Ming Yuechan, her eyes were slightly surprised, and she immediately said:

"Saintess, Wei Zhen, the two of you follow closely behind me."

Wei Zhen and Ming Yuechan nodded and followed Qing Ling into the formation altar.

But it was not a teleportation, but a deep passage with brilliant light. The three of them kept walking forward. After a while, they saw an ancient bronze door.

Qing Ling took out a round jade pendant from her body and put it into the groove in the bronze door. The next moment, the bronze door shone brightly and slowly opened, revealing a world like a paradise!

And there, stands an ancient tower that reaches into the sky!

There is a hanging bell under the eaves of the tower that is shaking gently, making a tinkling sound.

"Go in, you have three days and three nights. After three days, you will be teleported out." Qing Ling spoke, pointing to the passage and letting the two in.

"Yes, Elder!" Ming Yuechan nodded and immediately took Wei Zhen in.

The two men walked into the bronze door, and the bronze door closed.

"Junior brother, there are ninety-nine floors in Wending Pavilion. Try to climb as many floors as you can. The higher the level you reach, the greater the rewards will be. Let's get started." Ming Yuechan and Wei Zhen stood under the ancient tower. The tower was majestic. Ming Yuechan looked up at it and began to explain.

"Yes, Senior Sister Mingyue." Wei Zhen nodded.

The two began to walk into the tower.

As soon as he entered the tower gate, Wei Zhen found that in front of him were countless tower stairs spiraling upwards with no end in sight, and Ming Yuechan beside him had disappeared.

"So this is the Wending Pavilion, it's really amazing." Wei Zhen looked up and saw ninety-nine steps that seemed endless.

I'm afraid that this ancient tower of Wending Pavilion is itself an incredible magic weapon!

As soon as he thought of this, Wei Zhen suddenly remembered what he had heard from Ji Baifeng.

It is said that the Fengxian Sect has hidden the ancient artifact Phoenix Feather... The Demon Emperor wants to find this artifact. Could it be that the Phoenix Feather is hidden in this Wending Pavilion?

possible.

But this is not something I can care about right now.

"Well, let's get started. I want to see what kind of enlightenment method this Wending Pavilion has, and how far I can go!"

Wei Zhen took a deep breath and began to climb the stairs.

There are ninety-nine floors and I don’t know how many steps there are. It definitely won’t be easy to climb.

Wei Zhen walked all the way there and didn't feel anything. He quickly went up to one level, then quickly went up to another level, still feeling nothing.

In this way, he quickly reached the tenth floor.

I finally feel something...my legs are sore.

This doesn't seem to be any different from climbing stairs, except that my legs will be sore.

This... after climbing the ninety-nine floors of the tower, I'm afraid... my legs will be broken!
Of course, it would be uncomfortable for a mortal's legs, but I am a cultivator after all, and my physical strength is much better than before, so I only felt a little after climbing ten floors.

"Is this enlightenment? It seems like I don't feel anything..." Wei Zhen frowned.

Some people wonder if the way I am walking is wrong. Should I take three steps and kowtow nine times, and worship sincerely in my heart?
Otherwise why don't I feel anything?

After walking for a while, Wei Zhen reached the eighteenth floor, still feeling nothing, except that his legs felt a little sore.

"Maybe I didn't reach a high enough level. After all, I'm currently at the Golden Elixir Great Perfection stage, so I probably haven't reached the stage where I can attain enlightenment."

Wei Zhen thought about it and thought that this might be the reason.

So when he climbed to the 20th floor, he sat down and rested for a while.

You can see the sky outside from the tower window, but it feels like everything except the area around the ancient tower is an illusion or a fantasy, which gives people a very unreal feeling.

Even that sky, if you look closely, doesn’t feel real.

Just like the poorly done background special effects in previous TV dramas and movies.

After resting, Wei Zhen continued to climb the stairs.

Two hours later, he... he climbed to the top of the tower!
"Is it time for enlightenment? To feel something?"

Wei Zhen stood on the last level, waiting for the feeling of enlightenment... but half a day passed and nothing happened.

Suddenly, Wei Zhen panicked...

Could it be that he was climbing alone?
