Ascension Pavilion is as high as the sky, but has only nine floors in total.
Therefore, each floor is extremely high, without any sense of indoor depression. Each floor seems to be an independent space.
But at this time, this energy-condensed ladder directly penetrated the first to ninth floors.
Each step is extremely high. There are ninety-nine steps from the first to the second floor, from the second to the third floor, from the third to the fourth floor, and every subsequent floor, there are ninety-nine steps...
Chen Gao's best result is to reach the third level, and he looks very proud of it.
"Brother Chen, what exactly is Ascension Stairway looking at? I, Cultivation Level, am shallow, so don't make a fool of yourself." Li Xiuchang asked tentatively.
In fact, he was worried that he had climbed too high and exposed Cultivation Level.
Chen Gao smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't worry. How high this Ascension Stairway can climb has no direct relationship with Cultivation Level. There are also very few geniuses, and Qi Condensation Stage can climb to the fifth floor!
"Of course, people with high Cultivation Level generally live longer, know more, and have higher cognition, so their grades are generally not too bad."
Not directly related to Cultivation Level?
Li Xiuchang was immediately relieved.
Chen Gao also did not forget to boast. "Brother Li, you are such a genius, you will definitely have no problem surpassing me. I, Ascension Pavilion, currently have a record of the Foundation Establishment Realm at the seventh level!"
"Who is such a genius? "Li Xiuchang asked.
"He is a senior of my Ascension Pavilion who has ascended to the top a long time ago. He is known as my Ascension Pavilion's number one genius in countless years. By the way, he is also the record holder of Qi Condensation Stage. Qi Condensation Stage can climb to the sixth floor! Golden Core Stage is on the eighth floor, Nascent Soul Realm goes directly to the top!"
Li Xiuchang actually has no idea about this, but he still gave him a few polite compliments.
I thought that Nascent Soul Realm could reach the summit, so there would be no problem with his Void Refinement Stage summit designation.
It depends on whether he wants to reach the top or not.
In other words, are the benefits worth getting to the top?
Li Xiuchang The movement here also attracted some attention from the surroundings, but not much.
Ascension Stairway is a relatively common thing in the Ascension Pavilion. Disciples of the Ascension Pavilion often challenge Ascension Stairway.
The surrounding merchants have long been tired of seeing it.
And there is another point, because Ascension Stairway is indeed not ornamental.
Ascension Stairway's people couldn't tell what kind of test they were going through. They could only see a person climbing up a level from time to time.
Unless a genius occasionally appears, it will be interesting.
Li Xiuchang did not rush to challenge just because someone was paying attention, but continued to ask Chen Gao about the rules of Ascension Stairway and the benefits that could be obtained.
Chen Gao didn't explain much. He just took out a piece of Jade Slip and asked Li Xiuchang Divine Sense to scan it and read the detailed rules of Ascension Stairway.
The content in Jade Slip first introduces the benefits of Ascension Stairway!
Ascension Pavilion is famous for his magic skills. He claims that his skills can penetrate all the ways and legalize the universe.
Ascension Pavilion contains thousands of magic techniques and countless classics.
Not only are there spells, techniques, and Hundred Cultivation Arts inheritance, there are even all kinds of secrets and confidential information...
The most valuable thing in the Ascension Pavilion is actually their library!
In other words, it is the countless knowledge they have collected!
Ascension Pavilion is a strange fairy treasure. The more knowledge stored in it, the more powerful it will be.
Therefore, for countless years, one thing that Ascension Pavilion disciples have been doing is to collect knowledge from everywhere and put it in the library.
This is Ascension Pavilion's eternal sect mission.
Anyone who can collect new knowledge that is not available in the library from outside will be rewarded heavily.
The more valuable the knowledge, the more generous the rewards!
For this reason, other people's homes are study rooms and scripture collection pavilions, while Ascension Pavilion is directly a library!
And this Ascension Stairway is actually directly connected to the library on the second to ninth floors of the Ascension Pavilion.
There are eight floors of the library in total. The higher you go, the more high-end and precious the knowledge stored in the library is.
The strongest among Four Great Immortal Sects may not be Ascension Pavilion, but the one with the richest knowledge reserve must be Ascension Pavilion!
"In this way, Ascension Stairway's most direct reward is that every time you climb a level, you can read a level of 'knowledge'."
"But it doesn't seem like you can just read it casually. You can only read part of the book knowledge related to you..."
"But if you can get to the top, you can get the reward of directly instilling knowledge from the secret method!"
"Also, why do I feel that Ascension Pavilion is somewhat similar to Preaching Ranking?"
Preaching Ranking is for sharing Experience and Insights, and Ascension Pavilion is for collecting knowledge, which is very similar in nature.
Just like Preaching Ranking, the knowledge gained from the Ascension Pavilion library will also be tacitly sworn not to be passed on to others.
Preaching Ranking is an ownerless thing, and so is Ascension Pavilion. Both of them need to be controlled by a "key".
And the biggest reward for both is "Anointing" preaching!
That's right, after the Ascension Pavilion reaches the fifth floor, you can also get the "Anointing" reward!
This Ascension Pavilion is not the same as Preaching Ranking, but Confucian Treasure, right?
Li Xiuchang coughed and asked, "Brother Chen, why does your Ascension Pavilion feel a bit like our Immortal Dust Sect's Preaching Ranking?"
"Yeah? "Chen Gao looked confused, obviously not knowing anything.
He doesn't even know what Preaching Ranking from the Immortal Dust Sect looks like.
The outside world knows that Immortal Dust Sect attaches great importance to Preaching Ranking, and the protection is so strict that outsiders cannot get close at all!
Forget it...Li Xiuchang Looking at Chen Gao, you know you can't ask anything.
The level is too low, and many secrets are inaccessible.
He had to find out for himself...
Li Xiuchang finished reading Jade Slip in his hand, returned Jade Slip to Chen Gao, and then prepared to start Ascension Stairway.
The rules of Ascension Stairway are actually very simple - just answer the questions!
Every time he climbed a step, he was asked questions.
You must answer the questions correctly to move up a level.
To put it bluntly, this level tests your brain and knowledge.
Ascension Pavilion This fairy weapon (doubtful) will automatically give targeted questions based on the areas in which the person being tested is good at.
For example, Li Xiuchang, he may encounter questions related to Spirit Plant Cultivation Arts, soul control skills, etc.
But it is absolutely impossible to ask questions about areas that he has never been involved in, such as asking him how to divination...
In addition, of course the questions become more difficult as you get to higher levels.
Li Xiuchang is confident that relying on his Cultivation Level and technical advantages, it should not be difficult to reach the top.
Moreover, he also has a great advantage. To put it nicely, he is called erudition and versatility, but to put it unfavorably, he has learned too much.
But this is a huge advantage when it comes to Ascension Stairway!
Because there are ninety-nine steps between each level, it means that Li Xiuchang will face the test of ninety-nine questions every time he goes to a level.
If he has not mastered any Cultivation Techniques, he is just an ascetic monk who is immersed in practice and has almost no combat experience.
Then the problems he Ascension Stairway faces will all be related to spiritual practice!
Just from the first to the second floor, you will be asked ninety-nine different questions related to practice. The questions are destined to get deeper and deeper, and the questions become more and more difficult.
Further up, after reaching the second floor, the difficulty of the questions will increase.
Therefore, the knowledge is narrow, and Ascension Stairway can only continue to dig deeper into the narrow knowledge, and the questions will become more and more difficult.
But it's different for a knowledgeable and talented person like Li Xiuchang. He knows a lot more and covers a lot of fields. He can evenly ask a few questions in each field and pass the first level.
Of course, in any exam, in addition to strength, luck is also a very important component.
Sometimes I encounter simple questions, and sometimes I get them right when I don't know how to answer them. This is all luck.
However, in the process of Ascension Stairway, in addition to one's own knowledge reserve and luck, there is one more thing that is crucial... that is understanding, or talent!
Ascension Stairway It is not possible to pass by memorizing knowledge by rote. I rarely ask questions about knowledge points that are memorized by rote because they are meaningless.
As a monk, Cultivation Level is a little taller. Which one doesn't have extraordinary memory?
The questions asked by Ascension Stairway require more divergent thinking and extended thinking.
But those who are gifted and enlightened can understand things at the first glance and understand them at the first glance.
This is also the reason why Qi Condensation Stage can reach the sixth floor.
After becoming familiar with the rules of Ascension Stairway, Li Xiuchang finally stepped onto the first level of the heavenly level.
As soon as he stepped on it, he was cut off from the outside world.
He couldn't even see Chen Gao a few steps away from him, and Divine Sense was also blocked in an extremely small area.
This is Ascension Stairway when the "anti-cheat" mode is turned on.
At this time, all means of sound transmission, and even the connection with the clone, will be temporarily cut off, preventing the breaker from obtaining answers from the outside world.
The questions that need to be answered suddenly appeared in Li Xiuchang's mind:
"You got an unknown variety of Spirit Plant seed, and tried to use Spiritual Qi Soil Sprouting Method and Spirit Liquid Hydroponic Sprouting Method but failed. What should you do now?"
The first question turned out to be a question related to Spirit Plant.
As a first-level, first-step question, the question itself is very simple.
Because the question does not clearly indicate the type of seed, it only says "unknown seed", so there is no standard answer to this question.
He does not need to give a method that will definitely lead to successful germination, because there is no germination method that can germinate an unknown seed 100% successfully.
So he only needs to give a reasonable idea.
When conventional hydroponics and soil cultivation fail, just come up with another method that can be tried.
Li Xiuchang thought of "Heat Sprouting Method", which is to increase the temperature on the basis of hydroponics or soil culture to promote seed germination.
There is also a germination method that is only used for some high-end Spirit Plant seeds, Spirit Cultivation Sprouting Method.
That is to say, the seeds are placed in pure spiritual energy for germination.
Answering either of these two germination methods should be enough to answer the first question.
But Li Xiuchang suddenly thought of a special germination method he had mastered at the Dark Heaven Realm.
Dark Heaven Realm's several mainstream techniques have developed their own characteristics and have merits.
They have a riskier germination method called Spirit Severing Method.
The principle is that Spirit Plant seeds, especially high-end Spirit Plant seeds, are different from ordinary grass and tree seeds. Spirit Plant seeds inherently store powerful energy inside.
Therefore, germination can be completed without the stimulation of external energy.
As for Spirit Severing Method, the seeds are placed in a place that is completely isolated from spiritual energy, cutting off the supply of spiritual energy and water, and not allowing the seeds to come into contact with soil or any other form of nutrients.
Through this method, the seeds are put into a dying state, thereby stimulating the energy inside the seeds to save themselves and promote their germination.
This method is only suitable for seeds that cannot be germinated by conventional means or that are difficult to germinate after being stored for too long.
The risk is high, and the seeds may be destroyed.
But it does work, and there are many successful cases.
Li Xiuchang thought for a while and answered the question with "Spirit Severing Method".
However, after he answered "Spirit Severing Method", he did not directly pass the test. Instead, a new question popped up asking him to explain what Spirit Severing Method was.
Li Xiuchang thought thoughtfully, which means that there is no knowledge about "Spirit Severing Method" in the Ascension Pavilion library.
So, he explained in detail the principle and usage of Spirit Severing Method.
This process naturally took a lot of time.
This made some people watching around feel bored. They didn't expect that Li Xiuchang would spend so long on the simplest first step.
Even if it takes so long to answer the simplest question, it will probably be difficult to move forward, and it is hard to say whether you can get to the second level.
But as soon as they had this idea, they saw a burst of green light suddenly rise from the soles of Li Xiuchang's feet, sending him directly from the first floor to the thirtieth floor!
"I got Three Great Dao Ancestors! What's going on?"
"The first time I saw someone skip a level, it was level 30!"
The onlookers immediately exploded.
They originally thought that Li Xiuchang was trapped on the first step, but they didn't expect that he was holding back his ultimate move!
Among the crowd, there were disciples of the Ascension Pavilion who all looked shocked, and then explained to the people around them:
"This is in the process of answering questions, supplementing the knowledge that the library does not have, and getting feedback from the library, skipping the grade directly!"
"The library is all-encompassing, and it can supplement the knowledge that the library lacks, which is quite amazing!"
"Level skipping is just a superficial reward, there should be other rewards!"
Chen Gao opened his mouth wide at this time, and then sighed, "As expected of you, Brother Li!"
Li Xiuchang was extraordinary. They had seen some signs of it in Xianyin back then, but now the signs are getting stronger and stronger.
Li Xiuchang This jump attracted a large number of onlookers.
Ordinary Ascension Pavilion disciples Ascension Stairway are tired of watching and are too lazy to watch, but a genius who can jump thirty levels in one go is still worthy of their attention.
Li Xiuchang himself did not expect that such a situation would happen again.
Contributing a germination method that was of little value and difficult to use actually allowed him to skip the thirty steps directly. In addition, the greater reward was the opportunity to get "Anointing"!
He can choose any book in the library or Jade Slip, and accept Anointing.
But it must be accessible to him.
If he can only go to the second floor, then naturally he can only choose the books on the second floor or Jade Slip.
Everyone knows that the knowledge at the top is more precious, and Li Xiuchang certainly intends to save this rare opportunity until the end.
After what happened just now, Li Xiuchang understood that if he wanted to go further on Ascension Stairway, it would be best to add more knowledge that was not available in the library.
And he should not be short of these things!
Whether it was the knowledge taught to him by his senior brothers, some of the inventions he made on his own, or the otherworldly inheritance gained from traveling to another world, there should be a lot of knowledge in it that was not available in the Library Pavilion.
The problem is finding the right opportunities to incorporate this knowledge into the process of answering the question.
According to Jade Slip, others cannot see his answering process and do not know what kind of questions he faced and what kind of answers he gave.
The "new knowledge" he provided will be compiled into a book together with other new knowledge after a certain period of time and appear in the library.
Therefore, no one will know what new knowledge is provided by him.
He continued Ascension Stairway and stepped onto the thirty-level level.
The question asked this time was related to weapon refining.
The problems leading from the first floor to the second floor are generally simple, and there is no difficulty for Li Xiuchang.
Soon he answered the questions and reached level 32.
Then, level thirty-three, level thirty-four...
Li Xiuchang almost kept walking, step by step, climbing quickly.
The questions he answered were also diverse and came from various fields he mastered.
There were even some historical issues, because he had specifically studied the history of the Immortal Shade Realm and was relatively proficient in it.
In this way, he made it all the way to the second floor without any hindrance!
The onlookers were not surprised by this. It was a matter of course for a person who could jump thirty levels to reach the second level.
Li Xiuchang arrived at the second floor where Ascension Pavilion was waiting, and officially entered the Ascension Pavilion library.
He felt as if he had arrived in a library, surrounded by rows of bookshelves, all filled with books and Jade Slip.
Ascension Pavilion's library is very special. It is managed by the Ascension Pavilion, a so-called "immortal weapon". It will condense the new knowledge it collects into books and generate them on the bookshelf.
The first floor of the library has the richest collection of books.
And there are no restrictions on browsing.
Li Xiuchang's reward for climbing to the second floor is to unlock the first floor of the library. In the future, he can directly enter the first floor of the Library Pavilion and read all the books and Jade Slip there.
The same is true for the upper floors. Once you reach any floor, you can directly unlock the access permissions for that floor.
You can enter directly in the future without going through Ascension Stairway.
But if you want to unlock higher-level permissions, the only way is Ascension Stairway.
Li Xiuchang was not in a hurry to continue climbing. Instead, he came down from the sky stairs and walked around on the first floor of the library.
He met several disciples of the Ascension Pavilion here. These disciples were generally not high in Cultivation Level. At first glance, they looked like new disciples.
Li Xiuchang looked through the Ascension Pavilion's Spirit Plant and other skill inheritances, and found that there were only the most basic entry-level inheritances on the first floor.
Obviously the more advanced inheritance is still above.
The spells on the first floor are basically basic spells, and the exercises are only about Qi training.
Of little value to Li Xiuchang.
However, it can be seen that Ascension Pavilion's library is indeed all-encompassing, including even magic techniques and sorcery...
Only the bookshelves dedicated to storing demonic cultivation techniques and sorcery were sealed separately.
It seems that the seal was added artificially the day after tomorrow.
Obviously, the library treats everyone equally, and regards the magic techniques related to magic as knowledge.
Li Xiuchang's heart moved, he is familiar with demonic techniques and sorcery!
Why didn't you ask him about this when climbing the ladder to heaven?
However, from the first floor to the second floor, all the questions asked were relatively basic questions, and they did not involve any skills or spells.
Li Xiuchang visited the entire first floor of the library, but neither memory inheritance nor spells and techniques were of any use to him.
On the contrary, it was a pile of miscellaneous books that were least valued that aroused his interest.
Immortal Dust Sect Library Pavilion at the outer door also has such an area, which is dedicated to stacking various miscellaneous books, human geography, anecdotes, historical legends and other related books, all placed in this miscellaneous book area.
Li Xiuchang previously found relevant information about several senior brothers and sisters from these miscellaneous books.
However, only the identities of Senior Brother Chen Changsheng, Senior Brother Mo, and Lu Yang have been confirmed. Not much is known about senior brothers Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi and Gui Wuyan.
Li Xiuchang Divine Sense swept through these miscellaneous books, plunged into the books, and captured every word. Soon the contents of these books flowed through his mind like water.
His expression suddenly paused, and he silently dug out a copy of "Chronicles of Cultivating Families" from a pile of books.
This book records the rise and fall of the once famous families in the Immortal Shadow World for more than 100,000 years.
The development of cultivating immortals Lineage has its bottleneck, which is far less than the upper limit of the sect. Therefore, up to now, Immortal Shade Realm has completely become the world of Four Great Immortal Sects.
Those old Lineages have either declined, transformed into sects, or been directly merged into Four Great Immortal Sects.
But in the past, many Lineages have also been brilliant.
Li Xiuchang noticed this book because it introduced the former Immortal Shade Realm first Aristocratic Clan "Zhang Family".
This Lineage is very special, completely different from other prosperous wealthy families.
Xiuxian Lineage If you want to develop, you must have more people.
But the Zhang family is passed down from generation to generation. There is only one male in each generation, who is also the only descendant of the Zhang family.
Therefore, some people say that the title of Zhang family's No. 1 Aristocratic Clan is not worthy of its name.
However, the Zhang family can achieve such a great reputation with only one descendant per generation, which shows their strength.
According to "Chronicles of Cultivating Families", every generation of the Zhang family is a genius. Every head of the Zhang family eventually ascended to the Upper Realm, without exception!
People from the Zhang family are talented, enthusiastic, and forthright, and they never develop power, recruit troops, have no ambitions, and pose no threats. What family would not like such a person?
What's more, the Zhang family also has the best weapon refining inheritance in the world. Every generation of Zhang family heads are Immortal Shade Realm's top weapon refining masters.
Wherever the Zhang family goes, others will give them three points of thin noodles.
Originally, if it developed according to the model of the Zhang family, although it would not be able to grow, it would not decline.
But in fact, the Zhang family has disappeared in the Immortal Shade Realm for tens of thousands of years.
The reason for this is because the last generation of the Zhang family head has no descendants...
Every generation of Zhang family heads will get married early and give birth to children.
And before ascending, he passed on the position of head of the family to his son.
Normally, the next head of the family at this time has grown up enough to take charge of his own business.
But the last generation of Zhang family heads never got married until they ascended, let alone gave birth to an heir.
So the Zhang family just disappeared in the Immortal Shade Realm...
According to the book, there are two main reasons why the last generation head of the Zhang family did not want to get married and have children.
First, he cultivated too smoothly and too quickly, and he had already ascended before he could find the right dao companion;
Secondly, he was too handsome, and most fairies would be uglier when standing next to him. He was unwilling to give in and wanted to find someone better-looking than himself, but he never found one.
"Isn't this Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi!"
This is too obvious, everything is correct, there is no mistake!
