Chapter 222: Evil Moon In The Sky (1/2)

Chapter 222: Evil Moon In The Sky

When darkness fell upon the sixth floor of the Immeasurable Tower, the outside turned dark as well.

It had been five days and five nights inside, thus the same amount of time had passed outside.

In the hundred feet high monument, two mirrors were still as bright as before like two lanterns hanging in the sky that had yet to run out, still flashing green lights like before.

“Five days already! To be able to stay in the sixth floor for five days, this is too unbelievable. Those two are still struggling inside.” Many people were still waiting outside, and more and more coming by the day.

It was truly rare for someone to be able to stay in the sixth floor for five days in a row.

Even the God Base realm did not allow for the “accumulation state” where one didn’t have to eat to replenish their strength. Of course, cultivators were far beyond ordinary people, so they wouldn’t starve to death after not eating for ten days. However, as time passed, their energy would begin to decline.

Fighting at high tension for five days would consume an incredible amount of energy. This stress from battle would crush one’s willpower until it collapsed.

“To be able to persevere in the sixth floor for six days without dying or giving up… Even if those two can’t make it past the floor, they wouldn’t be far off.” Zhang Badao was still standing there. His feet hadn’t left the spot for the past several days.

“The talent and willpower of these two are no jokes. Their accomplishments in the future will not be mediocre.” A glimmer appeared in Long Chuanfeng’s old eyes; he wanted to decide on a disciple — Feng Feiyun or Shi Yelai.

Although Ji Feng and the Little Demoness had apex talents and the demoness’s talents were even greater than Feng Feiyun’s and Shi Yelai’s, he valued the willpower that these two had more. On the path of cultivation, sometimes willpower was even more important than talents.

Feng Feiyun’s and Shi Yelai’s talents were very close to the Grand Historical level. Moreover, their willpower was far greater than that of ordinary people, so they were the best candidates.

“There is still a gap between them and the Grand Historical level, so they surely won’t be able to beat the sixth floor. For now, we have to wait and see which one of them can last longer.” Many experts from the previous generation who had defeated the sixth floor knew how terrifying it was. It was already a miracle for someone to last one minute, so it was quite frightening for those two to last five days and five nights inside.

Many were full of expectations for the two inside.

Another two days had passed, and one mirror on top of the monument finally dimmed. Another had narrowly failed.

After seven days, Shi Yelai was no longer able to persevere and left with great injuries.

“I failed again!” His skin was covered with a thick layer of dried blood. His clothes were completely stained with blood and mud. Even his handsome face was completely covered. Only his blinking eyes indicated that he was alive.

He used his sword to prop himself forward, struggling to take each step as he braced himself, but he couldn’t hide the boundless fatigue assailing him.

“Bam!” The moment he exited the tower and saw the first ray of sunshine, he immediately fell to the ground. He didn’t pass out from dizziness, but he was in deep sleep.

After seven days without a break, his tense nerves were at their breaking point, so after reaching a safe location, he could no longer suppress the urge and instantly fell asleep.

Attendant Yu arranged for two armored soldiers to help carry him away. Afterward, he sighed: “It seems that this sixth floor of the tower isn’t something God Base cultivators can defeat, not even Grand Historical Geniuses.”

Shi Yelai was the number one genius in the Heavenly Cloud Prefecture and was at the top of the grand achievement God Base level, but he still couldn’t defeat this sixth level after six attempts.

“Throughout the history of the Immeasurable Tower, there had been six heavenly geniuses who had been able to defeat the sixth floor at the God Base realm. However, they were all exceedingly rare Grand Historical Geniuses, not to mention that their providence was top notch as well. For instance, that genius of the Buddhist faith from the Buddhist Tower 1,800 years ago. He was the most recent out of the six, and no one else had been able to perform such a feat since then.”

“Are you talking about Highmonk Mu Song who became the Abbot of the Mortal Life Temple? He was a sacred monk with the highest accomplishments in the Buddhist doctrine in the last 1,800 years, the proud prodigy of the Buddhist Tower… But what a shame, haizzz!” Attendant Yu lamented.

“A cultivator who has yet to become a Grand Historical Genius will not be able to surpass the sixth floor!” Princess Luofu lightly said.

However, a mirror remained shining on top of the monument. Feng Feiyun was still persevering and fighting. Although everyone thought that he would not be able to beat the sixth floor, they still wanted to see how many days he could last.

***

At this time, how could Feng Feiyun not want to sleep just like Shi Yelai? The night curtain came down once again, and the entire city became quiet without the slightest sound.

It was the most tiring part of the day!

Feng Feiyun dragged his stone saber as his entire body quivered with every step. He leaned against a wall and slowly sat down. An indescribable drowsiness assaulted his mind as his eyes almost closed and put him to sleep.

“Pluff!” He cut his arm, using the pain to clear his mind a bit.

He didn’t dare to close his eyes to meditate because once they closed, he would immediately fall asleep.

Only by cultivating with his eyes wide open would he be able to replenish his energy and cure his body.

Despite the fatigue, he must keep his eyes wide open!
