Li Xiuchang thought that he had reached the seventh floor, equaling Ascension Pavilion's record for countless years.
It's already so high-profile. If it's a little more high-profile, going to the eighth floor shouldn't be too bad, right?
But let's see if there's anything good on the seventh floor first.
The more profound the knowledge, the better. The most important thing is that it suits you.
The first thing he paid attention to was the knowledge related to Cultivation Techniques.
"This seventh level of skill inheritance, as well as skill understanding and experience, is finally at a certain level!"
The knowledge related to various skills at the seventh level is already advanced enough for Li Xiuchang to learn.
But not all skills are like this.
For example, Spirit Plant Cultivation Arts, Li Xiuchang himself is already at the Sixth Tier master level, and the knowledge of Spirit Plant at the seventh level cannot help him much.
On the other hand, several fourth-level skills such as formations, talismans, and immortal brews can be improved by learning the skills and knowledge here.
But Li Xiuchang's current goal is to give priority to improving Spirit Plant's and weapon-refining skills.
At present, these two skills are difficult to improve at the seventh level.
Li Xiuchang is also unwilling to use the precious Anointing opportunity to gain insights into these formations, talismans, etc. on the seventh level. After all, although these insights are not mediocre, they are not very precious or amazing.
On Preaching Ranking, there are almost the same level.
It's just that without the help of "Anointing", he needs to spend more time to understand.
"It seems that I want to prevent 'Anointing' from being wasted. I have to go to the eighth floor anyway!"
Li Xiuchang was not in a hurry to leave. He read through all the insights that were useful to him on the seventh level and kept them in his mind.
Although I couldn't understand it immediately at the time, I could slowly regurgitate it after I got back.
But what makes him embarrassed is that the seventh level's relevant knowledge about Dao of Alchemy is not open to him.
This is because his Dao of Alchemy skill level is too low, only the second level.
The same second-level Corpse Driving Skill related books Jade Slip are also not open to him.
"Ahem, when you have time later, you need to improve your Dao of Alchemy level in a targeted manner."
Li Xiuchang also felt that the second-level skill of Dao of Alchemy was too difficult to master. After all, it was one of the first skills he learned.
Remembering all the skills that were useful to him, Li Xiuchang walked around on the seventh floor. He couldn't help but feel that Ascension Pavilion is indeed famous for his skills!
This seventh level collects various high-level spells, which are diverse and all-encompassing.
Li Xiuchang silently memorized a few practical spells, which might be useful in the future.
The difference between the seventh floor and the six floors below is that there is an extra intelligence area on the seventh floor!
Here is a summary of various information specially collected by the Ascension Pavilion.
However, intelligence must be graded. The seventh-level information should not be considered top secret. The truly confidential information is still at higher levels.
Li Xiuchang scanned the information with Divine Sense with great interest, and couldn't help but laugh. He actually discovered the information of the three major immortal sects: Sword Seeking Sect, Seal Heaven Sect, and Immortal Dust Sect.
Li Xiuchang had also read relevant information about the other three immortal sects in the Immortal Dust Sect before.
It seems that although Four Great Immortal Sects has a good relationship with each other, they are secretly at odds with each other and are very keen on collecting information on the other three companies.
What Li Xiuchang was most interested in was actually the information about the Immortal Dust Sect. He curiously picked up the large thick book and the few pieces of Jade Slip on the side and read them one by one.
After a while, Li Xiuchang put down the book and Jade Slip, and couldn't help but sigh that he, a disciple of the Immortal Dust Sect, didn't know as much about the Immortal Dust Sect as Ascension Pavilion.
The information here records all aspects of the Immortal Dust Sect in detail.
Including development history, current number of people, combat strength, economic status, etc...
In the final summary of the information, Immortal Dust Sect was evaluated as "the most creative sect among Four Great Immortal Sects".
The other three major immortal sects and the entire Immortal Yin cultivators have long-standing stereotypes about them.
There is naturally a reason for this. Each of the three companies has its own strengths, but these strengths also limit their development routes.
Only Immortal Dust Sect cannot be defined.
He doesn't seem to have as distinctive a label as the other three major immortal sects, but he is someone who can excel in any aspect.
For a long time, the other three major immortal sects have been steadily producing two types of geniuses, namely cultivation geniuses and technical geniuses.
For example, Sword Seeking Sect has been steadily producing genius swordsmen and various technical geniuses.
This makes the development of their three major immortal sects very stable, and their overall strength will not fluctuate much.
However, Immortal Dust Sect did not focus on cultivating these two types of geniuses. Instead, it allowed most of its disciples to develop freely.
This makes Immortal Dust Sect have had ups and downs in its past development history and is not as stable as the other three.
However, many geniuses and eccentrics have emerged, especially in the outer sect. There are many seniors who are not very skilled, but have made great contributions with their own whimsical ideas.
They even made an indelible contribution to promoting the development of the entire Immortal Shade Realm and Hundred Cultivation Arts.
Immortal Dust Sect is definitely a special one among Four Great Immortal Sects, but it doesn't seem that special.
At least Li Xiuchang couldn't see any reason why the neighboring brothers and sisters would hide there for more than two thousand years.
Of course, this information will definitely not be able to reveal all the secrets of the Immortal Dust Sect. Even Ascension Pavilion's real secrets will definitely not be investigated.
Moreover, this information is obviously incomplete. There should be more detailed and confidential parts placed at a higher level.
At least in this information, there is no introduction to the Immortal Dust Sect and Grand Elder.
For Li Xiuchang, the most mysterious thing about the Immortal Dust Sect is probably Grand Elder.
At present, he doesn't even know how many Grand Elder there are in the Immortal Dust Sect. He only knows that all Grand Elder have the power of immortals.
Li Xiuchang Rational analysis, the neighbor brothers and sisters are lurking Immortal Dust Sect. In order to achieve a certain goal, why not just do it directly, why should they lurk?
There must be resistance.
And this resistance can only come from the Grand Elders of the Immortal Dust Sect.
After all, the only one in the Immortal Dust Sect who can threaten the neighboring brothers and sisters is Grand Elder.
It can also be inferred from this that the overall strength of the Grand Elders is at least not weaker than that of their neighboring brothers and sisters, and is even stronger!
Only in this way will the senior brothers and sisters be wary.
But what exactly is this "purpose"?
Li Xiuchang has no clue yet.
In his opinion, the brothers and sisters who are neighbors are not bad people, and Immortal Dust Sect is also a Righteous Path. As long as the goals of the brothers and sisters are reasonable and not harmful, they can sit down and have a good talk.
But the brothers and sisters did not choose this solution.
Even Zhang Wanzhi, the dating expert, chose to lurk at the outer door of the Immortal Dust Sect.
This means that this matter cannot be resolved through negotiation.
It shows that on something, the brothers and sisters from the neighborhood and the Grand Elders of the Immortal Dust Sect have irreconcilable conflicts!
Li Xiuchang frowned and thought, Divine Sense kept scanning the information about the Immortal Dust Sect, trying to find some clues.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind: The senior brothers and sisters may not have tried to discuss with the Immortal Dust Sect senior management!
With Senior Brother Chen Changsheng's stable character, Senior Brother Lu Yang's good-natured temperament, and Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi's social skills, how could he not try to resolve conflicts amicably?
Maybe, they tried and failed...
Only then did he make the decision to lurk Immortal Dust Sect.
Senior brothers and sisters have been lurking into the Immortal Dust Sect since more than two thousand years ago.
What happened more than two thousand years ago?
Li Xiuchang recalled the history of the Immortal Shade Realm that he had read, from two thousand years ago to three thousand years ago, and even further back, four thousand years ago, five thousand years ago, Immortal Shade Realm seemed to have nothing significant enough to record in the history books.
He picked up another piece of Jade Slip, which recorded the history of the Immortal Dust Sect.
Li Xiuchang focused on that period of history more than two thousand years ago, reading it word by word, until he read such a paragraph, and he was suddenly stunned.
"Two thousand two hundred years ago, Immortal Dust Sect and Grand Elder were exploring Immortal Shade. Since then, they have disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown."
A simple paragraph of text, but Li Xiuchang read a huge amount of information from it!
Grand Elder, as the top combat power of the Immortal Dust Sect, actually lost two of them at once. This is absolutely an unacceptable loss for the Immortal Dust Sect.
But the question is, why let two Grand Elder explore Xianyin?
The dangers of the Immortal Shadow are well known, and Four Great Immortal Sects has never stopped exploring the Immortal Shadow. There are countless powerful Four Great Immortal Sects people who have been missing in the Immortal Shadow for countless years.
If the two elders are missing, Li Xiuchang thinks it is quite reasonable.
The two missing Grand Elder cannot be justified at all!
Most of the Four Great Immortal Sects elders went to explore Immortal Shadow because their life span was running out and they wanted to use some of their remaining energy.
But Grand Elder are all immortals, and there is no shortage of life span.
And everyone knows that the higher the Cultivation Level is, the more dangerous it is to enter the Immortal Shadow. Unless there are special circumstances, Grand Elder will never be willing to enter the Immortal Shadow, or two at a time!
It's even possible that more than two went in, but two were missing.
There must be something hidden in this!
It's probably related to the brothers and sisters in the neighborhood.
Li Xiuchang finally found a clue for investigation, and he couldn't help but feel excited. With this clue alone, Ascension Pavilion's trip was not in vain!
Seeing that no valuable clues could be found from the intelligence, Li Xiuchang adjusted his state, continued Ascension Stairway, and launched a charge towards the eighth floor.
The questions given to him at this time were no longer about Dao of Alchemy, Corpse Driving Skill, and even questions about formations, talismans, and spiritual chefs were gone.
It shows that his level in these questions is no longer enough to correspond to the question bank of this level.
The questions he was asked were mainly about Spirit Plant, weapon refining, cultivation, body refining, enlightenment, etc.
Li Xiuchang finally felt a hint of difficulty.
Not all questions can be answered without thinking, and you must always think carefully.
Of course, it's just a hint of difficulty, so it won't stump him.
He finally understood why talent and understanding were extremely important in Ascension Stairway.
Just like many Spirit Plant questions, Li Xiuchang knows the answer as soon as they are asked.
You ask him why?
He would just think, isn't that how it should be?
No theoretical analysis is needed, he just knows what to do.
This is not luck, because you must let him make inferences based on his own choices. He can still speak clearly and rationally, analyze the reasons for what he did, and provide theoretical basis.
Li Xiuchang hopes to encounter more questions about Spirit Plant. He can answer the questions easily, but unfortunately there are still many other types of questions.
For example, let him summarize the experience of crossing Inner Demon Tribulation.
Li Xiuchang Xin thought, how many times did he Inner Demon Tribulation detect this?
However, for Inner Demon Tribulation and Li Xiuchang, they were indeed experienced. They talked eloquently and talked a lot, and finally emphasized the key point - do less bad things, and naturally there will be fewer inner demons.
They would also ask him all kinds of weird questions, such as what is the difference between entering Origin World with a golden body and a Dharma form? Origin World Understand the different experiences of different avenues, etc...
Li Xiuchang answered one by one, followed the good deeds and climbed steadily.
Although I didn't have the opportunity to skip a level, I climbed up to the 90th level steadily.
Seeing the eighth floor approaching, he encountered this problem:
A brief discussion of the reasons behind the decline of Buddhism and Daoism.
This question is a bit broad, there are too many things to talk about, and there is no standard answer.
And Li Xiuchang doesn't know the most fundamental reason, so he can't answer it at all.
Let alone him, even the neighbor brothers and even Senior Brother Gui probably don't know the specific reason.
Ascension Pavilion I probably don't know the answer to this Confucian Path treasure.
Therefore, for this question, you only need to give some reasonable opinions, and it is not necessary to answer the truth.
Take Immortal Shade Realm's Buddhism as an example. There are a bunch of reasons for its decline, including insufficient resources for the Immortal Shade Realm to fit Buddhist Cultivator, and limited development of Buddhist Cultivator.
And when fighting against the devil, Buddhism was the most radical, losing a large number of elites Buddhist Cultivator, seriously affecting the development and inheritance of Buddhism, etc...
These are ordinary people's answers to questions.
But Li Xiuchang is a person who has seen other worlds. He has been in contact with Buddhist Cultivator outside, knows some high-level inside stories, and vaguely knows some hidden secrets.
He replied, "Compared to Confucian Path, Buddhism is not really in decline, it just declined in the Immortal Shade Realm. But in other worlds, such as Zen Heart Realm, such as Pure Land Realm, Buddhism is still the mainstream practice system."
Li Xiuchang believes that there must be knowledge about other worlds in the Ascension Pavilion. He has not seen it now, just because that knowledge may be on the eighth or even ninth level.
For example, the existence of "Zen Heart Realm" must be recorded in the Ascension Pavilion.
But "Pure Land Realm" must be new knowledge that is not in the Ascension Pavilion!
So he found the right opportunity and said Pure Land Realm.
But this does not count as answering the question directly. Even if you are contributing new knowledge, you must at least answer the question normally.
Li Xiuchang didn't wait for the Ascension Pavilion's reaction and continued to tell his own point of view:
"I think that although Buddhism and Daoism are still strong in a few worlds, there must be problems at the top level. This can be seen from the number of high-level Buddhist Cultivator Pure Land Realm.
"So the overall decline of Buddhism and Daoism is also inevitable. As for its fundamental reason, I suspect it is related to the origin of Daoism. The reason for this speculation is because of Confucian Path.
"In Origin World, the existence of the origin of Confucian Path cannot be found, and Confucian Path has been completely cut off, so there is reason to suspect that the cutoff of Confucian Path is due to the destruction of the origin of the avenue.
"Although Buddhist Dao Origin is still in Origin World, there is probably a problem, but it is not as serious as Confucian Path's original problem. There may be opportunities to remedy it.
"As for why there is a problem with the origin of Confucian Path and Buddhism? I have reason to suspect that it is related to the Demon Suppressing Realm at the bottom. It is said that there is a terrifying existence sealed there. Maybe Buddhism and Confucian Path were destroyed in the hands of that terrifying existence."
Li Xiuchang said his guesses. He didn't know if his guesses were correct, but at least they were well-founded and not fabricated out of thin air.
Of course, there is no basis for the statement that Demon Suppressing Realm exists as a terror to destroy Confucian Path and Buddhist Dao Origin. It is purely Li Xiuchang taking the opportunity to add more new knowledge to it.
Li Xiuchang revealed a lot of information in his answer, so much so that Ascension Pavilion fell into silence for a long time, seemingly processing the information given by Li Xiuchang.
The question itself may not be that deep, but Li Xiuchang's answer forcibly brings this question to a very high level.
For example, if you ask him to calculate 1+1, he will directly figure out Goldbach's conjecture.
After a while, information appeared in Li Xiuchang's mind, asking him to add information related to "Pure Land Realm" and "Demon Suppressing Realm".
Li Xiuchang roughly explained the relevant knowledge of the Pure Land Realm and Demon Suppressing Realm.
Then came the long wait.
Li Xiuchang also knows that his answer this time revealed a lot of information and is of extremely high value.
He was looking forward to it, wondering what kind of reward Ascension Pavilion would give him.
He is only a few steps away from the eighth floor, so it is appropriate to enter the eighth floor.
The reason why he answered so much high-level information was to get some more Anointing opportunities as a reward.
Suddenly, a ray of blue light rose from Li Xiuchang's feet, carrying him straight up into the blue clouds, reaching the eighth floor in an instant!
The green light doesn't stop and continues to rise!
Across one level, ten levels, twenty levels, thirty levels... sixty levels... eighty levels...
Li Xiuchang was shocked.
Still not stopping?
It wasn't until he was sent to the ninth floor in one breath that the green light stopped.
