195: A new record is born

“This Little Doll is about to clear the Tower of the Heavens,” the Little Doll at the top of the tower said, witnessing Shen Xi’s emotional changes.

He spoke with great emotion.

Although Shen Xi was still on the Eighth Level, he knew that he was not far from passing the Eighth Level’s trial.

The eighth trial tests the heart!

Or rather, it tests willpower!

A powerful Martial Artist, in addition to having outstanding talent and astonishing potential, most importantly needs to possess a firm heart.

A heart that will never give up easily, no matter what setbacks he faces.

It was precisely because of this that when Shen Xi arrived at the Eighth Level, the Little Doll no longer gave any hints as before.

This was to shake Shen Xi’s willpower.

The tower challenger had grown accustomed to having hints, and now that the hints suddenly disappeared, he would certainly fall into anxiety and unease.

Coupled with the special environment of the Eighth Level, which constantly consumed the challenger’s Origin Qi.

Moreover, the challenger had no way to restore his Origin Qi.

Under these circumstances, the challenger’s state of mind would naturally be affected.

Unease, frustration, and finally, despair.

Once a thought of despair appeared, believing that he could not pass the Eighth Level’s trial, then the challenger would truly have failed.

The Little Doll would, at the first moment, send the challenger, whose will was not firm and who easily retreated in the face of setbacks, out of the Tower of the Heavens.

As for those who could still remain calm, he would continue to observe them in secret, watching the subsequent situation.

And Shen Xi was an anomaly.

From beginning to end, he never chose to give up, nor did he feel despair.

Although there were moments of powerlessness during the period, Shen Xi was able to quickly adjust his mindset and think of other countermeasures.

This state of mind already met the requirements for passing the Eighth Level.

Of course, all of this was thanks to the Martial Heart.

It was precisely because he had comprehended the Martial Heart that Shen Xi possessed the courage to even fight against the heavens, so he would not give up in the face of any danger.

Eighth Level.

“I refuse to believe I can’t pass the Eighth Level!”

“Since it’s a trial, there must be a way to pass it; I just haven’t found it yet.”

“However, I believe I will definitely succeed. If I don’t even have this much confidence, what’s the point of Cultivating the Martial Dao!”

Shen Xi spoke while brainstorming.

He was thinking about what was different or peculiar about this starry sky.

If he could find the key, there might be a way to break the situation.

“Congratulations on passing the trial!”

Finally, the mechanical voice sounded.

The stairs leading to the Ninth Level appeared before Shen Xi.

“I passed?”

Shen Xi was a bit bewildered.

He hadn’t done anything!

How had he passed the trial?

But very quickly, he reacted.

As the saying goes, those involved are often confused. Previously, in that almost despair-inducing environment, Shen Xi hadn’t thought that much.

But now, he understood what the Eighth Level’s trial was.

“Senior Zhu Feng Ao is truly a man of strong character. His achievements in the Martial Dao are not to be underestimated. He set up the Tower of the Heavens’ trials based on the essential qualities a strong person should possess. It’s interesting, truly too interesting.”

Shen Xi spoke with immense admiration.

“I’ll let you in on a little secret: the Tower of the Heavens was not built by Zhu Feng Ao.”

The mechanical voice sounded again.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xi’s face was filled with shock.

The Tower of the Heavens wasn’t built by Zhu Feng Ao?

How was that possible?

One must know that even the entire Chasing Wind Secret Realm was created by Zhu Feng Ao himself. The Opportunities within the Secret Realm should also be inextricably linked to him, right?

“Want to know the truth? Pass the Ninth Level, and I’ll tell you!”

After leaving this sentence, the mechanical voice disappeared again.

No matter how Shen Xi called out, the other party no longer responded.

“It seems the Tower of the Heavens is even more extraordinary than I imagined. I’m getting more and more curious.”

With that, Shen Xi stepped towards the Ninth Level… the top of the tower.

The Little Doll looked at Shen Xi with anticipation: “You must not disappoint me! I hope you are the one I’ve been waiting for.”

After speaking, the Little Doll glanced at a treasure sword hanging at the top of the tower.

This sword was somewhat illusory and dim; if one observed carefully, one would find that the sword was only half-complete, with the rest constructed from Sword Intent.

“I wonder if I can find a new master for you!”

...Outside the Tower of the Heavens.

Everyone was frenzied.

“New record!”

“Shen Xi has made history!”

“Less than two hours, and he smoothly passed the Eighth Level’s trial. This guy is too outrageous!”

“I can already imagine how many factions will extend an olive branch to Shen Xi when he leaves the Chasing Wind Secret Realm. Even the Secluded Factions won’t be able to sit still.”

“Since ancient times, every Martial Artist who has reached the Ninth Level has, without exception, been an absolute prodigy. As long as they grow smoothly, stepping into the Martial Dao Five Realms is definitely not a problem. Shen Xi will be a future Martial Dao Five Realms-level powerhouse!”

“Thankfully, we didn’t offend him before, otherwise, we wouldn’t even know how we died!”

“Not only can we not offend him, but we must also find a way to build a good relationship with him. If we leave a good impression, when Shen Xi grows up, we will definitely benefit greatly.”

“Exactly! We must build a good relationship!”

Upon seeing Shen Xi reach the Ninth Level at such a rapid pace, everyone went wild.

Everyone thought they had already given Shen Xi enough importance, but now it seemed it was far from enough.

Shen Xi’s potential was even more astonishing than they had imagined.

One who steadily grows will surely become a Martial Dao Five Realms-level powerhouse. This alone is enough to explain everything.

One must know that even among the descendants of Secluded Factions, not everyone can step into the Martial Dao Five Realms.

Having two or three in each generation is already the absolute limit.

Even a Dian Ling Realm expert has a certain degree of say in Secluded Factions.

“You all say, is it possible for Shen Xi to pass the Ninth Level and clear the entire Tower of the Heavens?”

Just then, someone spoke leisurely.

As soon as these words came out, the discussions immediately disappeared.

Everyone looked at each other, and a bold idea couldn't help but surface in their minds.

Could Shen Xi create a miracle and completely clear the Tower of the Heavens?

“It shouldn’t be possible, right? Since the Chasing Wind Secret Realm was created, no one has ever been able to pass the Tower of the Heavens!”

“But this person is Shen Xi. He passed the Eighth Level in two hours. He might just be able to turn the impossible into possible and create a miracle.”

“Passing the Eighth Level guarantees a Martial Dao Five Realms expert. If he passes the Ninth Level, what heights will his future achievements reach?”

Everyone looked on with anticipation, what if he succeeded?
