Chapter 43: Sudden sound, hidden level!

After absorbing the spiritual energy ball of the Venerable level and breaking through to the late Mingtai realm, Li Dongao stood up. He had already passed the thirteen levels of the Spirit Ascension Tower.

He should be given the so-called reward for passing the level.

"Congratulations, challenger, you have passed the thirteenth floor." At this time, a faint voice was heard.

This ethereal voice came from all directions of the thirteenth floor, and Li Dongao couldn't find the source of the sound at all.

When Li Dongao heard this, he nodded and waited quietly for the reward for completing the level.

However, at this moment, the ethereal voice came again, saying: "But, challenger, do you think this thirteenth floor is the last floor? Young man, you are still too young. The last floor of the Spirit Ascension Tower is actually a hidden level."

Li Dongao: “???”

What the hell? Hidden levels, is this how you play?
No, tell me, was this Spirit Ascension Tower built by a time traveler?

The sound is again, how come this is exactly the same as the game in the previous life? Even the hidden levels are made.

As the ethereal voice fell, Li Dongao saw a passage appearing not far away.

At this time, the ethereal voice just now came out again:

"Level-breaker, step into this passage. Once you step into it, you will reach the last hidden level. Only after you pass this last hidden level can you be considered to have truly passed the level and receive the final reward."

When Li Dongao heard this, his brows slightly frowned. Why did this sound so much like a trap to lure people?
Li Dongao did not step directly into the passage, but directly opened the Eye of True God. He wanted to see what was going on.

The eyes of the true God can see through the essence of all things in the world. No matter what the purpose of this voice is, it cannot escape the eyes of the true God!
After some investigation, Li Dongao curled up the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Li Dongao saw through the Eye of True God that in a space in the Spirit Ascension Tower, a middle-aged man was manipulating everything.

However, this middle-aged man was not a real person, but a spiritual consciousness, a spiritual consciousness left in the Shengling Tower by Taiyi Saint King, the founder of the Cangxuan Sword Sect.

Originally, Saint King Taiyi left this consciousness as a reward for those who passed the thirteenth level, but who would have thought that after years of accumulation, this consciousness actually had ideas of its own.

Although he has his own ideas, he still has to abide by the will of Saint King Taiyi. If he gives the reward to the challenger, he will disappear.

He didn't want to disappear, so he created this hidden level.

That’s right, this hidden level was not originally in the Spirit Ascension Tower, but was created by this divine consciousness itself. It was an illusion used to prevent challengers from passing through, but this divine consciousness gave the hidden level a beautiful name:
Test the heart of Tao!
If the challenger fails in the illusion, then he has sufficient reasons to say that the challenger has failed, so that he can not give the challenger a reward.

If the challenger successfully passes the first illusion, then the spiritual consciousness will create the second illusion, and the third illusion, until the challenger fails.

In this way, he can stay in this Spirit Ascension Tower forever.

Moreover, when the challenger fails and is teleported out, this divine consciousness will take back the holy sword that was previously held in the hand of the initial stage Venerable, and will give it to the challenger when the initial stage Venerable Gatekeeper succeeds in condensing himself again next time.

I have to say, this divine consciousness will stop at nothing to maintain its existence!

Li Dongao knew the cause and effect of the matter, smiled calmly and said:
"Since there is a hidden level, I will go in and give it a try. After all, I didn't get the title of level-breaking expert for nothing."

If there was something else in that hidden level, Li Dongao might still be a little apprehensive, but if it was to test the heart of Tao, Li Dongao would not be afraid at all.

Because he has the rock-hard heart of Taoism rewarded by the system!
His determination to the Tao is as solid as a rock. No illusion can shake Li Dongao's determination to the Tao!
Li Dongao stepped into the passage, and then disappeared from the spot. …

Outside the Shengling Tower.

The moment Li Dongao stepped into the hidden level passage, the light spot representing Li Dongao on the light curtain of the Spirit Ascension Tower outside grew a little bigger and then disappeared.

Every time the challenger absorbs a ball of spiritual light, the light spot on the light curtain will grow a little bigger. In this way, people outside will be able to know whether the challenger has defeated the gatekeeper.

When everyone saw the situation on the screen, they immediately exclaimed:

"Look, the light of the eldest brother has grown a little bit bigger. He has passed the thirteenth floor!"

“Big Brother is indeed a master at clearing levels. He actually cleared the Spirit Ascension Tower. I heard that the gatekeeper of the last level of the Spirit Ascension Tower is at the early stage of the Venerable. I didn’t expect Big Brother to be able to defeat him!”

"Big Brother was only at the Divine Sea Realm before he entered, and only after he entered the Spirit Ascension Tower did he break through to the Mingtai Realm. Big Brother defeated the gatekeeper at the early stage of the Venerable Realm with his Mingtai Realm cultivation!"

“Although that Venerable Early Stage Gatekeeper is not as good as a true Venerable Early Stage cultivator, he has also reached the Venerable level. It is really amazing that Senior Brother was able to defeat him!”

What everyone didn't know was that the early stage Venerable gatekeeper on the thirteenth floor was not as rigid as the previous gatekeepers. Instead, he was even stronger than the ordinary early stage Venerable cultivators.

"I heard that if you clear the Spirit Ascension Tower, you can get the ultimate reward. Senior Brother, you must have received the reward by now!"

"Big Brother is staying on the 13th floor without moving. He must be accepting the reward!"

"Look, the light of the senior brother has disappeared. The senior brother is coming out! Let's go and welcome the senior brother!"

The Great Elder watched the light spot on the screen grow stronger and disappear, and smiled:

“Hahaha, I didn’t expect that the little guy actually succeeded in getting through the level. He is worthy of being the supreme prodigy of our Cang Xuan Sword Sect. In the future, Li Dongao will make another contribution to the history of our Cang Xuan Sword Sect!”

Poli Supreme also smiled and said:

"When this little guy comes out, I will definitely train him well and make him better."

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder glanced at Supreme Poli, laughed, and said nothing.

Everyone was waiting outside the Spirit Ascension Tower with great anticipation for Li Dongao to come out, but after waiting for a long time, no one came out of the Spirit Ascension Tower.

Everyone was wondering:

"What's going on? Didn't the eldest brother already pass the level? Why hasn't he come out yet?"

"The light spot on the light curtain has disappeared, which should mean that the eldest brother is no longer in the Spirit Ascension Tower, but I haven't seen the eldest brother come out. What's going on?"

The Great Elder also noticed something unusual and his expression changed drastically:

"What on earth is going on? Why hasn't Li Dongao come out yet? Did something happen in there?"
