Chapter 309 His performance confirmed the rumors

Chapter 309 His performance confirmed the rumors

“Fuck!”

Li Xiuchang originally just wanted to learn more new knowledge and get some enlightenment opportunities as a reward.

He really didn’t want to go to the ninth floor!

But he didn’t expect to overexert himself and directly jumped over a hundred or so steps, which was equivalent to skipping the eighth floor.

He didn’t stop at the eighth floor at all, and was sent all the way to the ninth floor!

This is a bit embarrassing.

Li Xiuchang knew that the new knowledge he had revealed was very high, but he didn’t expect it to be so high.

He jumped over a hundred or so steps at once, but that was because there were only these steps left in the Heavenly Steps, not that this was his limit.

When he reached the ninth floor, the Heavenly Steps reached the top.

There were no steps above the ninth floor.

In other words, Li Xiuchang passed the level directly.

Li Xiuchang shook his head helplessly, and he also knew that he had made a big splash this time.

Going to the eighth floor was already a record-breaking achievement, but he jumped directly to the ninth floor!

It is conceivable that as long as the Ascension Pavilion exists one day, his name will be constantly mentioned.

When it comes to the record of the Heavenly Steps, we have to mention Li Xiuchang.

The key is that his record cannot be broken!

He passed the level with the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Stage. No matter how powerful other Foundation Establishment Stages are, they can only be as good as him.

When multiple people reach the same record, people tend to have a deeper impression of the first person who achieved the record.

To break his record, unless someone reaches the ninth level in the Qi Training Stage.

But Li Xiuchang thinks that unless someone hides his cultivation like him, it is impossible for anyone to do it.

Being in the limelight for a while and being in the limelight all the time are two different concepts.

Li Xiuchang just wanted to be in the limelight for a while and get some benefits, but he didn't expect to be directly recorded in the history of the Ascension Pavilion!

This is not in line with his original intention!

But things have come to this point, there is no way, he can only try his best to remedy it.

Standing in this position, Li Xiuchang is like standing under the spotlight, and someone is going to take out a magnifying glass to observe.

If he reveals a little flaw, it may be noticed.

So Li Xiuchang must be doubly careful.

"No one should be able to see my means of hiding my cultivation, so don't worry about it."

"But in the process of ascending to the heavenly steps, I contributed a lot of new knowledge to the Dengxian Pavilion. Although this knowledge will not be signed, after a period of time, the Dengxian Pavilion will compile this knowledge into a book and display it in the library!"

"Such high-level new knowledge, plus I have been the most popular in recent times, even if it is not signed, it is not difficult to associate it with me."

"At that time, it will be a troublesome thing if I can't explain the source of this knowledge."

Li Xiuchang was not panicked. This matter is actually not difficult to solve.

Just muddy the water.

He didn't get too entangled and turned to care about his own gains.

He rushed to the ninth floor in one breath. Although it was a bit high-profile, the gains were also substantial.

When entering the eighth floor, he was rewarded with a thousand times of enlightenment.

When entering the ninth floor, he was rewarded with 10,000 times of enlightenment!

And the series of new knowledge he just contributed also brought him hundreds of times of enlightenment.

In total, he has now had about 12,000 enlightenments.

It sounds like a lot, and it is actually a lot!

However, the reward for the Heavenly Steps is a one-time reward, and you cannot get the reward repeatedly even if you pass the level repeatedly.

Therefore, more than 10,000 enlightenments are the upper limit that a normal disciple of the Immortal Pavilion can get in his lifetime.

In fact, more than 99% of the disciples of the Immortal Pavilion will never be able to reach the top floor of the library in their lifetime.

Li Xiuchang, a non-Immortal Pavilion disciple, got the full reward directly when he came to the Immortal Pavilion for the first time.

After Li Xiuchang climbed to the ninth floor, the energy-condensed Heavenly Steps also dissipated.

As soon as Li Xiuchang lowered his head, he crossed the infinite distance and saw Chen Gao on the first floor, as well as other spectators.

However, he was now focused on using up his more than 10,000 enlightenments, and had no time to pay attention to other things. He turned around and went to the bookshelf on the ninth floor to find the book jade slips that suited him.

Chen Gao below, as well as other disciples of the Ascension Pavilion around him, as well as the surrounding merchants and customers, all the people who gathered on the first floor to watch the excitement, maintained the same posture at this time -

Looking up at the sky, opening their mouths and eyes wide.

As if they were collectively petrified.

When Li Xiuchang climbed to the seventh floor, there was cheering and cheering below.

But when he entered the ninth floor, there was a deathly silence below.

Mainly because it was too sudden, no one expected it!

When Li Xiuchang climbed the 90th step of the seventh floor, everyone was inexplicably excited and prepared to see Li Xiuchang climb to the eighth floor.

Everyone was excited because they were about to witness the birth of a legend and witness someone break the record that had been maintained for countless years!

But Li Xiuchang didn't play by the rules at all, and actually skipped the eighth floor and rushed to the ninth floor.

Even if they were mentally prepared... but that was only preparation for climbing to the eighth floor!

The ninth floor?

They didn't even dare to think about it!

Climbing to the ninth floor was beyond their imagination.

But the way Li Xiuchang climbed to the ninth floor was even more jaw-dropping!

He jumped over more than a hundred steps and directly leaped from the seventh floor to the ninth floor.

This method has never been seen before, and it seems that it will be difficult to reproduce it in the future.

Not only have they never seen or heard of this, they wouldn't even dare to dream of doing this!

Is this something a human can do?

Li Xiuchang didn't give them any time to buffer, and he just acted like a big wave. Who wouldn't be surprised?

Who wouldn't be shocked?

Who wouldn't have their pupils tremble?

Even if they came to their senses, who could resist taking a breath?

"Hiss..."

Hiss hiss hiss...

The sound of taking a breath came one after another.

Those who didn't know would think that a nest of snakes were spitting out their tongues here.

A bunch of cultivators forgot that they didn't need to breathe at all.

"Chen, Junior Brother Chen, what is the origin of your president?"

Someone stuttered to Chen Gao.

"I, I don't know." Chen Gao's brain was down, and he answered subconsciously.

Then he suddenly came to his senses and smiled bitterly: "I didn't know he was so powerful!"

"No wonder he was so young and could take over the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce with his foundation-building cultivation. He is indeed extraordinary!"

"Such a genius should not be an unknown person. Brother Chen Gao, which family is this genius from?"

Seeing that the elders of the sect were asking questions, Chen Gao quickly replied: "The president of the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce is called Li Xiuchang, and he is a disciple of the Xianchen Sect."

The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar.

"So he's the prodigy of Xianchen Sect!"

"Why haven't I heard of him before?"

"I've only heard of Chu Ya, the prodigy of Xianchen Sect."

"He's still young and his cultivation is still shallow, so it's normal that he's not famous, but after today, it's hard for him not to be famous!"

"Yes, Xianchen Sect has produced many talents, and there are successors, which is really enviable!"

"Wait, Li Xiuchang? Why does this name sound familiar to me?"

"I remember, isn't this the one who defeated two disciples of Wenjian Sect in a friendly match held by Wenjian Sect a few years ago!"

That year, Li Xiuchang and Zhang Wanzhi were invited to participate in the friendly match of Wenjian Sect, and both defeated their opponents.

But compared to them, Zhang Wanzhi's performance was definitely more amazing, so more people mainly remembered Zhang Wanzhi.

Of course, there will also be a small number of people who still have an impression of Li Xiuchang.

"Yes, that's right, it's him, the outer disciple of Xianchen Sect!"

"Outer disciple? What are you talking about! Isn't this the inner sect genius?"

"If this were in our Dengxian Pavilion, he would definitely be a core inner sect disciple! You said he is an outer disciple of Xianchen Sect?"

"Don't disbelieve it, remember a rumor that was very popular a few years ago? It said that the inner disciples of Xianchen Sect are just decorations, and the real strength depends on the outer sect!"

"That's a rumor? Isn't it true!"

"Yes, two outer disciples of Xianchen Sect defeated the inner sect genius of Wenjian Sect in succession, confirming the rumor."

"So it was him! The one with Zhang Wanzhi of Xianchen Sect!"

Originally, everyone didn't have a deep impression of Li Xiuchang, but when it came to the friendly match that year and the rumors about the outer sect of Xianchen Sect, the impression was clear all of a sudden.

"It seems that he is really an outer sect disciple of Xianchen Sect!"

"The gold content of the outer sect of Xianchen Sect is still increasing!"

"Today he proved with his strength that the real geniuses of Xianchen Sect are all in the outer sect. Chu Ya is just a cover to deceive people."

"Xianchen Sect is playing a big game!"

"Li Xiuchang, Zhang Wanzhi, what we have seen is just the tip of the iceberg of the outer sect of Xianchen Sect. How many geniuses are hidden in it? It is unknown!"

Li Xiuchang has raised the evaluation of the outer sect of Xianchen Sect by outsiders with his own strength.

It also makes the mysterious outer sect even more mysterious.

At this time, someone remembered: "Report this to the elders quickly!"

Someone broke the record of their Dengxian Pavilion for countless years and climbed to the top of the library with the foundation-building cultivation. This is definitely a big deal, enough to alarm the top leaders of Dengxian Pavilion.

Soon, the news was reported to the ears of the great elder of Dengxian Pavilion.

The elder of Dengxian Pavilion hesitated for a while, but when he heard that Li Xiuchang jumped more than a hundred steps and flew directly from the seventh floor to the ninth floor, he made up his mind and flew to the ninth floor of Dengxian Pavilion.

The ninth floor that Li Xiuchang went to was just the library of Dengxian Pavilion, and the other areas of the ninth floor were where the great elders of Dengxian Pavilion lived.

The floor where the disciples of Dengxian Pavilion lived directly represented their status in the sect.

For example, the registered disciples could only live on the second floor.

The elders lived on the eighth floor.

The ninth floor was where a group of great elders went into seclusion.

Under normal circumstances, the elder of Dengxian Pavilion would not disturb the great elders living on the ninth floor, but this time the situation was special.

The elder of Dengxian Pavilion came to the ninth floor and knocked on the door of a thatched house with a little trepidation.

At the same time, he was secretly complaining in his heart: "Ancestor Yuhe is the same. He has a nice cave mansion and insists on living in this small thatched house! He is really suffering."

After a long while, the door was opened and an old female voice came from inside: "Come in."

The elder bent down and walked into the small thatched house. It would be an exaggeration to describe this house as bare. The mud walls on all four sides even leaked.

A face that looks forty or fifty years old, skin that looks sixty or seventy years old, and white hair that looks like an old lady in her eighties or nineties, with a vicissitudes of life, sitting cross-legged on an old and white futon.

In the whole thatched house, there is nothing else except this futon.

The elder walked in, unable to raise his head when standing, and there was no place to sit, so he could only squat down: "Ancestor Yuhe."

"What happened?" Elder Yuhe asked directly.

"Someone ascended the Heavenly Steps and stepped onto the ninth floor." The Great Elder said.

"You are disturbing my practice for such a small matter?"

"This person is not a disciple of my Dengxian Pavilion, but from the Xianchen Sect."

"The Xianchen Sect is an ally of my Dengxian Pavilion, so it's okay."

"He only has the foundation-building cultivation."

"Hiss... Can you finish what you want to say at once next time?"

The Great Elder coughed: "There is one last sentence. He jumped directly from the seventh floor to the ninth floor, crossing more than a hundred steps."

Ancestor Yuhe stood up: "What did you say?"

Then she didn't know whether she was talking to herself or asking the Great Elder, "What knowledge did he contribute?"

The Great Elder smiled bitterly: "I don't know either. I feel that this is a serious matter, so I came to discuss it with you, the Grandmaster."

"Let's go and ask him!"

The old lady made a prompt decision.

It would take at least several months or even a year for Dengxian Pavilion to automatically summarize the knowledge and condense it into a book. She couldn't wait.

Throughout the history of Dengxian Pavilion, no one has ever been able to jump a hundred levels from the seventh or eighth floor.

This is definitely a revelation of extremely valuable new knowledge, so this treatment is given!

The elder hesitated and said, "Is this okay? After all, he is not my disciple of Dengxian Pavilion."

"What does it matter? We are just friendly exchanges, not interrogating him."

"This... then let's go now? He is now in the library on the ninth floor."

"Let's go."

The two of them left the thatched hut, and the elder was about to fly, but the old lady interrupted him: "Go over there, don't fly around all day, exercise your legs and feet occasionally. When I was still a mortal, I had to carry goods to the town to attend the big market early in the morning. Every day I walked more than ten miles?"

"Now that I have become an immortal, I may not be able to walk a few steps for decades. Cultivating immortals, on the contrary, I am becoming more and more delicate."

The elder knew that the old lady always liked to suffer without suffering, and she always said that it was not easy back then, but she did not dare to refute it, so she could only follow behind the Rain Crane Patriarch.

Along the way, Patriarch Yuhe sneered at the luxurious mansions of other great elders he saw along the way.

He would often comment on them as "extravagance" and "getting carried away".

The great elder's forehead was sweating, and he didn't know how to respond, so he had to change the subject: "Grandmaster, there are a lot of confidential information on the ninth floor. Wouldn't it be bad for a foundation-building disciple like him to see it?"

"What? Can you still silence him?" The old lady glanced at him.

"You're joking. It's mainly high-level intelligence. I'm afraid it will shock him."

The old lady shook her head: "Young people nowadays are too delicate. They are always broken in the heart of Taoism and trapped by the inner demon. We didn't have so many problems back then. The inner demon calamity passed with our eyes closed."

But she still said: "Then persuade him to read less intelligence later. If he has already read it, it's fine. In fact, it's nothing great. It's just an introduction to the existence of the other world. It's not a bad thing to let him see the whole picture of the world earlier."

The elder reminded: "And Xianyin..."

"Xianyin, that's okay. Let him know the dangers facing the world earlier so that he can be mentally prepared. Think about it, we accepted the news calmly back then."

...

Li Xiuchang has already walked around the ninth floor and found a lot of useful knowledge for him.

But for him, the knowledge on the ninth floor is generally too high-end, and he can't accept much.

For example, various skills and experiences, which often involve the seventh, eighth, and even ninth levels, are not something he can understand at all.

With his extraordinary comprehension, he could learn knowledge involving seven or eight levels of spiritual plant skills.

He soon realized that the knowledge that suited him best should be mainly concentrated on the eighth level.

Li Xiuchang did not rush to the eighth level, but looked at the various confidential information on the ninth level with great interest.

But in fact, he had already known many of these confidential information.

As he expected, these information indeed contained information about the "steamer world".

It explained that the world was layered, and introduced the existence of the upper and lower realms and the same-level world...

However, what was recorded in this information was not as much as Li Xiuchang knew.

"It only says that there are one to six layers of worlds here, and even the seventh layer of world is not sure whether it exists, not to mention the demon-suppressing world..."

"For the same-level world, there are other lower realms, which are far less than I know, and the same-level worlds such as the Dark Heaven Realm are not known at all."

"Not professional!"

Exploring the same-level world is a very risky thing. Generally speaking, people don't dare to go there without strong skills.

Li Xiuchang found that he could still add a lot of new knowledge to the Ascension Pavilion, but it was no longer necessary now.

In addition to the information about the other world, there are also a lot of confidential information involving various aspects, which Li Xiuchang read with great interest.

Among them, the information about Xianyin that attracted him the most was undoubtedly.

These information also pointed out the fact that Xianyin was constantly expanding.

Li Xiuchang saw a book "Xianyin Exploration Diary", which was divided into two versions, the inner and outer versions.

The outer version mainly records the expansion and changes of Xianyin from the outside world.

The current border of Xianyin, compared with the border a thousand years ago, and then compared with the border of Xianyin ten thousand years ago...

It can be easily seen that the expansion speed of Xianyin is slowly increasing.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the underground palace left by the Jiufeng Temple that Li Xiuchang had visited was still outside the Xianyin.

But now it is already inside the Xianyin.

According to this trend, in about a thousand years, the Jiufeng Temple will be completely swallowed by the Xianyin.

The inner version records the experience of the four major immortal sects sending people into the Xianyin to explore for countless years.

Some people never returned, and some were lucky to escape.

But few people really made any substantial discoveries in the Xianyin.

However, the resources in the Xianyin are indeed rich, and many people have collected precious medicines in it.

Even some elders who are about to die swallowed the precious medicines in it, broke through their cultivation, and extended their lifespans!

This is also one of the reasons why the elders who are about to die are willing to go to the Xianyin to fight before they die.

Xianyin is a place where risks and opportunities coexist!

Li Xiuchang flipped through it quickly, and suddenly stopped when he turned to the exploration diary from more than two thousand years ago.

It was recorded that at that time, four Xianchen Sect’s supreme elders entered the Xianyin, and only two of them came out in the end.

Two others are missing forever!

This experience came from the Xianchen Sect’s own account, but it only revealed the names of the two missing elders; it did not mention who the two surviving elders were.
