Chapter 216: To Be Able To Listen To The Dao In The Morning, Dying In The Evening Is Still Happiness (2/2)

“Just what is this thing? Don’t tell me it is the reward for the fourth level?” Feng Feiyun played with the doll and couldn’t see anything special about it outside of its very spiritual eyes…

Of course, after beating the fourth floor, a fifth divine intent appeared in his head and his cultivation greatly increased again. The gap to grand achievement God Base became smaller and smaller.

The gains in one’s cultivation from the tower were countless times greater than normal cultivation, and Feng Feiyun had finally stepped into the realm of real experts.

Outside of one strand of divine intent, the black doll was a reward as well.

Could it be that every genius who passed the fourth floor all obtained a black doll like this? No, that couldn’t be the case because Xue Wu and Beiming Tang had passed through here before, but they didn’t obtain this doll.

The Immeasurable Tower couldn’t be impartial like this. Although Feng Feiyun received something others didn’t, it might not be a good thing but rather a threat to his life.

Feng Feiyun looked around this study and frowned. The Immeasurable Tower’s fourth floor was a bit strange, causing him to wonder if he had taken the wrong path. Or rather, maybe someone else had purposely led him to a different path than the others.

Perhaps the method of surpassing this level was different from the others as well.

At this point, Feng Feiyun thought that he was overthinking it and put away the black doll in his spatial stone. However, right when the puppet entered his storage, its black eyes also blinked once.

If Feng Feiyun saw this, he would definitely destroy this doll without any hesitation. Unfortunately, he didn’t see it.

Although the battle from earlier was quite fierce, outside of the bamboo scroll from earlier, nothing else in the room was destroyed. This was a bit too irrational.

There was a “Rain Upon The High Mountains” painting on the wall; its frame was not made from gold or wood. The sacred mountain had trees with morning dew. The rolling path around the mountain was full of rain and fog. At the peak was a house with red walls while the moon hanging in the sky caused this house to look like an ancient temple or pagoda.

The rain continued to pour down on this tall mountain. Just looking at this painting would cause someone to enter a strange state. It was as if they could see the mountains, the rain and dust, and they could even hear the sound of water dripping onto the leaves and smell the fragrances of the vegetation around the mountain. In fact, they could even feel the droplets wetting their body.

Feng Feiyun didn’t know when he had entered the painting and appeared on the old path in the mountain. He could hear the happy chirping of birds nearby with rain dripping on his cheeks. His soles also had some mud stuck to them.

He actually entered the painting! No, this was the fifth floor of the Immeasurable Tower!

“Welcome to the fifth floor!” A voice went straight into Feng Feiyun’s mind.

He looked up and noticed a winding trail around the mountain that then disappeared amidst the rain.

This seemingly quiet yet romantic ambiance also contained a touch of danger that was sensed by Feng Feiyun. However, this sensation was especially well hidden, like a beautiful flower exuding its poison and slowly approaching him, but he had no way of detecting it.

Countless cultivators all failed on the fifth floor. There was no lack of heaven-defying geniuses among them. Even Heaven’s Mandate cultivators failed or even died on this level. Very few managed to make it to the sixth floor.

After thirty years, numerous geniuses had entered the tower, but less than ten at the God Base realm had managed to get past the fifth floor. Moreover, all of them were at the grand achievement level.

Feng Feiyun, of course, didn’t dare to be careless. He was already wounded after the fight with the girl on the fourth level, and the fifth level should be three times more difficult than the last, meaning that he should be expecting to face three opponents of the grand achievement level.

Surpassing the fifth floor didn’t only depend on strength but also luck.

Feng Feiyun continued through the trail to reach the peak. On the dangerous road, he saw an old and broken ancient stone with these words engraved on it: “To be able to listen to the dao in the morning, dying in the evening is still happiness.”

Rainwater washed away the dust and leaves on the ancient stone so Feng Feiyun was able to see the words that were corroded by time. The words were beautiful and contained a heavenly law. Although many years had passed, the dao contained within these words had not been erased.

Everything here felt extremely real. It was nothing like a space created by the illusion from a formation and more like a real world. At the very least, the dao once prospered here and was far from being as lonely as this time.

“Well put! To be able to listen to the dao in the morning, dying in the evening is still happiness!” Feng Feiyun nodded with praise. How many people in this world could comprehend the dao? Even if one died right afterward, it was still better than being a frog in a well.

“Thank you!” A woman’s voice rang next to his ear.

This voice did not directly resound inside his brain, it was actually from right next to him as if there was a supreme beauty standing behind him, whispering him “thank you.”

But when he turned around, there was no one there. He could only find a cold chill hitting him. Who was speaking?
