the grand gift you prepared for me!""Congratulations!"Fang Yu-xuan burst into laughter suddenly, his laughter filled with malice: "Jiang Yun, you killed my younger sister. Do you really think I will...Bloody atmosphere!

Ginger Cloud spent a full three hundred breaths of time feeling the second kind of energy within this force - it was the stench of blood!

This further strengthened his belief that the vague idea that had popped into his head was very likely correct.

Therefore, he continued to try and feel the third kind of breath!

Jiang Yun was completely immersed in the feeling of this extraterrestrial power, but all the people inside and outside the Tongtian Pavilion who were watching Jiang Yun were all in a daze.

Wenjin, Xiao Liu, and nearly a hundred guards all stared in disbelief, unable to believe their eyes.

Even Old Jia's face showed a hint of astonishment!

Although the duration of this persistence is not greatly related to one's own strength, it is definitely related to everything about a cultivator, such as aptitude, willpower, and so on.

If one were an ordinary person, or someone of weak cultivation, to step into the Tiāntīngé Pavilion, even with the protection of a Bìtiān Dàn, death would be inevitable.

Therefore, since Jiang Yun could persist for three hundred breaths, even though it doesn't necessarily demonstrate the strength of his abilities, it at least shows that his path of cultivation surpasses that of others by far.

Of course, Lao Jia stopped talking as well. Everyone remained silent, staring at Jiang Yun while calculating the time for him.

Time, unhurried and slow, flowed by. Within the Sky-Piercing Tower, guards who had finished their cultivation began to emerge one after another.

Although this meant that there were already empty rooms in the Tongtian Pavilion, no one rushed to enter. They were all waiting for Jiang Yun, to see when he would be unable to hold on any longer.

After another three hundred breaths had passed, Ginger Cloud's body twitched slightly and finally opened the eyes that had been tightly shut.

But looking at Ginger Cloud, a gleam flashed in Lao Jia's eyes.

Because he could see that Ginger Cloud's situation was like the one who had persisted for seven hundred breaths, someone who could have kept going but clearly wanted to give up.

Jiang Yun opened his palm towards Wen Jin and said, "Wen sir, could you give me that pill"

Wenjin also came back to his senses from the shock.

And at this moment, she truly had no resentment towards Jiang Yun anymore. She didn't dare to continue making things difficult for him. Without a word, she handed the Bi Tian Dan to Jiang Yun.

Thank you!

Jiang Yun took the Bi Tian Dan, put it in his mouth, and closed his eyes again.

This time, after only ten breaths, he opened his eyes again, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and let out a long sigh: "What domineering power!"

Wenjin stared at Jiangyun, shaking her head and saying, "I think that even with this powerful force from outside the heavens, it seems like you are even more domineering!"

Just then, Elder Jia suddenly addressed Jiang Yun and said, "You don't need to continue your tour. With your strength, directly entering the fifth layer would be most beneficial for your cultivation."

Five layers, ten thousand military merits a day.

Pay your military merits, and you can begin your cultivation. If your merits are insufficient, then please leave!

Ginger Cloud actually understood that the first to fifth floors of this Heavenly Staircase, apart from containing different strengths of power, also possessed a sense of pressure released by that power.

The higher the level, the greater the pressure.

A cultivator with weaker cultivation, having to focus on resisting the pressure while simultaneously cultivating, finds it more difficult than going to a lower level.

oneself, it is indeed possible to directly enter the fifth layer of cultivation.

After a moment's thought, he took out his token and handed it to Xiao Liu: "Let's just do one day for now!"

Although Jiang Yun had become a general, his military achievements were still only one hundred thousand, which he had earned during the hunt.

Therefore, he decided to try it first, cultivating on the fifth layer for a day to see what it felt like.

Xiao Liu took over Jiang Yun's token, gently stroked it with his hand, and returned it to Jiang Yun: "General Fan Bian, there are twelve rooms in the fifth floor, and there are usually vacant rooms. So next time you come, you don't need to wait!"

Little Six had felt guilty towards Ginger Cloud ever since they were young. Now, after witnessing Ginger Cloud's perseverance, a newfound respect bloomed within his guilt. Therefore, he specifically reminded Ginger Cloud of something.

Jiang Yun smiled and nodded, understanding that Xiao Liu was telling the truth.

Although those who can enter the fifth level possess considerable strength, the higher their power, the longer they have spent cultivating. It is common for them to retreat and meditate for decades or even centuries.

If we were to truly stay for that long, the amount of military merit required would be excessive.

One thousand military merits a day, one year would be three hundred and sixty-five thousand military merits. Only someone like Yan Tianqi, a crazed antique hunter, could achieve such an amount of military merit.

Even Yan Tianqi would not retreat here for a whole year at a time, at most just a few months.

While people like Wenjin generally calculate their stay in terms of days, the maximum they can usually stay for a month is already very difficult.

Therefore, it is rare for all rooms on the fifth floor to be fully occupied.

Ginger Cloud looked at Old Dao Jia and said, "Can I start cultivating directly now"

Jia Laodao: "Okay, just keep track of time yourself. We won't remind you."

If you exceed the time limit, you still need to pay military merit. If you can't afford enough military merit, you can owe it, but at most you can only owe up to one hundred thousand. After that, the Sky Tower will not be open to you.

After uttering those words, Old Jia had already turned and left, walking to the teleportation array. He addressed the guards: "Alright, everyone's had their fill of excitement. Now go back and queue up."

Jiang Yun bowed to Xiao Liu and Wen Jin, saying: "The two of you, I will take my leave now."

Jiang Yun turned and stepped onto the stairs, going step by step towards the fifth floor.

While Xiao Liu and Wen Jin stood still, watching Jiang Yun's figure disappear, they then turned around and left as well.

As they reached the fifth floor, a circular hall appeared before Jiang Yun. Twelve rooms lined the perimeter, all their doors shut tight.

Next to each door, there is a specially made candle. After entering the room, light the candle. When others come here, they will naturally know that someone is in the room and will not disturb.

Ginger Cloud didn't go to see every room individually, but randomly chose one, lit a candle with her hand, and stepped inside, closing the door.

Although the room is not small in size, the furnishings are very simple, with only a tatami mat and nothing else.

However, when Ginger Cloud released his divine sense, although he couldn't penetrate the walls here, he could sense that there were many seals and restrictions hidden inside the walls.

Even behind the back door is the same.

For a moment, Jiang Yun didn't know whether these restrictive seals were meant to seal the Sky Piercing Tower or this room itself, protecting those who practiced within it.

——

At the same time, in the hall leading to the Tongtian Pavilion, Wenjin and Xiaoliu, along with a group of guards, had all returned. However, Jia Lao was nowhere to be seen.

Although Wenjin successfully tricked Jiangyun once, he was unexpectedly shocked by Jiangyun's actions again.

To such an extent that even now, confusion and bewilderment still lingered on her face. She didn't even greet Xiao Liu, but instead lowered her head and walked out with quick steps.

Xiao Liu also sat cross-legged beside the formation, let out a long breath, and then spoke aloud: "The first layer and the second layer each have two spots."

Upon hearing Xiaoliu's voice, the guards also came to their senses and hurriedly stepped forward. Four of them each presented their tokens to Xiaoliu.

The Tokyo Tower has returned to normal.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In Tianshui Mansion, Leng Yichen sat in his study, lowering his head to pore over some jade slips.

Suddenly, a figure appeared before him. Leng Yichen didn't even raise his head and said, "What a rare guest! What wind brought you to me today!"

"Is the Tsutenkaku Tower very quiet right now"

Facing Cold Yichen stood Jia Lao!

Jia Lao looked at Leng Yi dust and said: "Sir, have you checked the background of Fan Xiao"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yichen finally put down the jade slip in his hand and looked up at Lao Dao Jia, "I didn't expect that you would also be interested in him"

"Well, what amazing feat did he pull off inside the Canton Tower this time"

Jia Lao said calmly: "It's not surprising. It's just that without taking the Bi Tian Dan, the power from outside the body entered his body and he lasted only six hundred breaths!"ought, hoping that there were others who would bid and buy this bloodline bead.It's a pity, Ru Meng's voice has already sounded: "Congratulations to this friend, who has successfully bought this bead...
