I rely on length to cultivate immortality

The Dengxian Pavilion is as high as the sky, but it only has nine floors in total.

Therefore, each floor is extremely high, without any sense of indoor depression. Each floor seems to be an independent space.

But at this time, this energy-condensed ladder directly penetrated the first to ninth floors.

Each step is extremely high. There are ninety-nine steps from the first to the second floor, from the second to the third floor, from the third to the fourth floor, and every subsequent floor, there are ninety-nine steps...

Chen Gao's best achievement was to reach the third level, and he looked very proud of it.

"Brother Chen, what are you looking for in this climb to the sky? My cultivation level is shallow, so don't make a fool of yourself." Li Xiuchang asked tentatively.

In fact, he was worried that he had climbed too high and exposed his cultivation.

Chen Gao said with a smile: "Brother Li, don't worry. How high you can climb to the heavenly level has nothing to do with your cultivation level. There are also very few geniuses who can climb to the fifth level during their Qi training period!

"Of course, people with high cultivation generally live longer, know more, and have higher cognition, so their grades are generally not too bad."

Isn't it directly related to cultivation?

Li Xiuchang was immediately relieved.

Chen Gao did not forget to boast: "Brother Li, you are such a genius, you will definitely have no problem surpassing me. My current record in the foundation building period of Dengxian Pavilion is the seventh level!"

"Who is such a genius?" Li Xiuchang asked.

"He is a senior who has ascended to the Immortal Pavilion a long time ago. He is known as the number one genius in our Immortal Pavilion for countless years. By the way, he is also the record holder during the Qi training period. He can climb to the sixth floor during the Qi training period! Golden elixir stage eight layer, directly reach the top of the Nascent Soul Stage!”

Li Xiuchang actually had no idea about this, but he still gave him a few polite compliments.

Thinking that others can reach the top in the Nascent Soul Stage, he will have no problem in reaching the top in the Void Refining Stage.

It just depends on whether he wants to reach the top.

In other words, are the benefits worth getting to the top?

The movement on Li Xiuchang's side also attracted some attention from the surroundings, but not much.

Climbing to the Heavenly Stage is a relatively common thing in the Dengxian Pavilion. Disciples from the Dengxian Pavilion often challenge the Climbing to the Heavenly Stage.

The surrounding merchants have long been tired of seeing it.

And there is another point, because climbing to the sky is really not ornamental.

The onlookers below couldn't tell what kind of tests people who climbed to the heavenly level encountered. They could only see a person climbing up a level from time to time.

Unless a genius occasionally appears, it will be interesting.

Li Xiuchang did not rush to challenge just because someone was paying attention. Instead, he continued to ask Chen Gao about the rules of ascending to the heavenly level and the benefits he could obtain.

Chen Gao didn't explain much. He took out a jade slip and asked Li Xiuchang to scan it with his consciousness and read the detailed rules of ascending to the heaven.

The content in the jade slips first introduces the benefits of ascending to heaven!

Dengxian Pavilion is famous for its magical skills. It is said that its magic can penetrate all the ways and regulate the universe.

Dengxian Pavilion contains thousands of magic techniques and countless classics.

There are not only spells, techniques, and inheritance of various immortal arts, but also various secrets and confidential information...

The most valuable thing in the entire Dengxian Pavilion is actually their library!

In other words, it is the countless knowledge they have collected!

The Dengxian Pavilion is a strange fairy treasure. The more knowledge stored in it, the more powerful it will be.

Therefore, for countless years, one thing that the disciples of Dengxian Pavilion have been doing is to collect knowledge from everywhere and put it in the library.

This is the eternal sect mission of Dengxian Pavilion.

Anyone who can collect new knowledge that is not available in the library from outside will be rewarded heavily.

The more valuable the knowledge, the more generous the rewards!

For this reason, other people's homes are libraries and scripture collection rooms, while Dengxian Pavilion is directly a library!

And this Dengtian Stairs is actually the library that leads directly to the second to ninth floors of Dengxian Pavilion.

There are eight floors of the library in total. The higher you go, the more high-end and precious the knowledge stored in the library is.

The strongest among the four immortal sects may not be the Dengxian Pavilion, but the one with the richest knowledge reserve must be the Dengxian Pavilion!

"In this way, the most direct reward for ascending to the heavenly level is that you can read a layer of 'knowledge' every time you ascend to a level."

"But it doesn't seem like you can just read it casually. You can only read part of the book knowledge related to you..."

"But if you can get to the top, you can get the reward of directly instilling knowledge from the secret method!"

"Also, why do I feel that this Dengxian Pavilion is somewhat similar to the Preaching List?"

The sermon list is about sharing experiences and insights, while the Dengxian Pavilion is about collecting knowledge, which is very similar in nature.

Just like the sermon list, the knowledge gained from the Dengxian Pavilion Library will also be tacitly sworn not to be shared externally.

The sermon list is an ownerless thing, and so is the Dengxian Pavilion. Both of them must be controlled through "keys".

And the biggest reward for both is the "enlightenment" of preaching!

That's right, after reaching the fifth floor of the Dengxian Pavilion, you can also get the "Enlightenment" reward!

This Dengxian Pavilion is not the same as the sermon list, which is the most precious treasure of Confucianism, right?

Li Xiuchang coughed and asked, "Brother Chen, why does your Dengxian Pavilion feel a bit like our Xianchen Sect's sermon list?"

"Really?" Chen Gao looked confused, obviously not knowing anything.

He didn't even know what the Fairy Dust Sect's sermon list looked like.

The outside world knows that the Xianchen Sect attaches great importance to the sermon list and protects it so tightly that outsiders cannot get close at all!

Forget it... Li Xiuchang looked at Chen Gao and knew that he couldn't ask anything.

The level is too low, and many secrets are inaccessible.

He had to find out for himself...

Li Xiuchang finished reading the jade slip in his hand, returned it to Chen Gao, and then prepared to start climbing to the heaven.

The rules of the Heavenly Stairs are actually very simple - answer questions!

Every time he steps on a step, he will be asked questions.

He must answer the questions correctly to move up to the next level.

To put it bluntly, this level tests the brain and knowledge.

The immortal artifact Dengxian Pavilion (doubtful) will automatically ask questions based on the areas of expertise of the test-taker.

For example, Li Xiuchang may encounter questions related to spiritual plant skills, soul control skills, etc.

But it is absolutely impossible to ask questions in areas he has never been involved in, such as asking him how to tell fortunes...

In addition, of course, the questions are more difficult as you go up a level.

Li Xiuchang is confident that it should not be difficult for him to reach the upper level with his cultivation and skills.

And he has a great advantage, which is erudition and versatility to put it nicely, and too much learning to put it bluntly.

But this is a huge advantage when it comes to the Heavenly Stairs!

Because there are ninety-nine steps between each level, it means that Li Xiuchang will face the test of ninety-nine questions every time he goes up a level.

If he has not mastered any immortal cultivation skills, and is just a hard-working monk who is devoted to cultivation, and even has almost no combat experience.

Then the problems he faces when ascending to the Heavenly Stage will all be related to cultivation!

Just from the first to the second level, he will be asked 99 different cultivation-related questions, which are destined to become deeper and more difficult.

Going up, after reaching the second level, the difficulty of the questions will increase.

So with a narrow knowledge base, when ascending to the Heavenly Stage, he can only continue to dig deeper in the narrow knowledge base, and the questions will become more and more difficult.

But people like Li Xiuchang who are knowledgeable and talented are different. He knows a lot and involves a lot of fields. If he asks a few questions in each field, he will pass the first level.

Of course, in any exam, in addition to strength, luck is also a very important component.

Sometimes you encounter simple questions, and sometimes you get the questions you don’t know right by guessing, which is all luck.

However, in the process of ascending to the Heavenly Stage, in addition to your own knowledge reserves and luck, there is another thing that is crucial...that is, comprehension, or talent!

The Heavenly Steps cannot be passed by rote memorization. Those rote memorized knowledge points are rarely asked because they are meaningless.

As a cultivator, who has a slightly higher level of cultivation does not have an extraordinary memory?

The questions asked by the Heavenly Steps require more divergent thinking and extended thinking.

And those who are gifted and savvy can understand everything at once.

This is also the reason why some people in the Qi training period can reach the sixth level.

Familiar with the rules of the Heavenly Steps, Li Xiuchang finally stepped onto the first level of the Heavenly Steps.

As soon as he stepped on it, he was cut off from the outside world.

He couldn't even see Chen Gao, who was a few steps away from him, and his consciousness was also blocked in a very small range.

This is the "anti-cheating" mode of the Heavenly Steps.

At this time, all means of sound transmission, and even the connection with the clone, will be temporarily cut off to prevent the challenger from getting answers from the outside world.

The question that needed to be answered suddenly popped up in Li Xiuchang's mind:

"You get a spiritual plant seed of unknown species. You try to use the spiritual energy soil germination method and the spiritual liquid water germination method, but both failed. What should you do now?"

The first question was actually about spiritual plants.

As a question on the first step of the first level, this question itself is very simple.

Because the question does not clearly specify the type of seeds, but only says "unknown seeds", there is no standard answer to this question.

He does not need to give a method that will definitely succeed in germination, because there is no germination method that can 100% succeed in germinating an unknown seed.

So he just needs to give a reasonable idea.

When conventional hydroponics and soil cultivation do not work, another method that can be tried can be proposed.

Li Xiuchang thought of the "heating germination method", which is to increase the temperature on the basis of hydroponics or soil cultivation to promote seed germination.

There is also a germination method that is only used for some high-level spiritual plant seeds, the spiritual cultivation method.

That is, the seeds are placed in pure spiritual energy for germination.

Answering any of these two germination methods should be enough to answer the first question.

But Li Xiuchang suddenly thought of a special germination method he had mastered in the Dark Heaven Realm.

Several mainstream skills in the Dark Heaven Realm have developed their own characteristics and have their merits.

They have a high-risk germination method called the Soul-breaking Method.

The principle is that spiritual plant seeds, especially high-level spiritual plant seeds, are different from ordinary grass seeds. The spiritual plant seeds have powerful energy stored inside.

Therefore, they can germinate without the stimulation of external energy.

The Soul-breaking Method is to place the seeds in a place completely isolated from spiritual energy, cut off the supply of spiritual energy and water sources, and prevent the seeds from contacting the soil and any other forms of nutrients.

In this way, the seeds are put into a dying state, thereby stimulating the energy inside the seeds to save themselves and promote germination.

This method is only suitable for seeds that cannot be germinated by conventional means or are difficult to germinate after being stored for too long.

The risk is very high, and the seeds may be ruined.

But it does work, and there are many successful cases.

Li Xiuchang thought about it and answered this question with the "Soul-breaking Method".

However, after he answered the question "Soul-breaking Method", he did not pass the test directly, but a new question popped up, asking him to explain what Soul-breaking Method is.

Li Xiuchang was thoughtful, which meant that there was no knowledge about "Soul-breaking Method" in the Dengxian Pavilion Library.

So, he explained the principle and usage of the Soul-breaking Method in detail.

This naturally took a lot of time.

This made some people who were watching the excitement around feel bored. They didn't expect Li Xiuchang to spend so much time on the simplest first step.

A simple question can take so long to answer. Most of the time, it will be difficult to walk later, and it is hard to say whether he can reach the second level.

But just as they had this thought, they saw a burst of green light suddenly rise from the bottom of Li Xiuchang's feet, and he was directly sent from the first level to the 30th level!

"My Three Great Dao Ancestors! What's going on?"

"This is the first time I've seen someone skip a level, and it's a jump of 30 levels!"

The onlookers exploded.

They thought Li Xiuchang was stuck on the first step, but they didn't expect him to be holding back a big move!

Among the crowd, some disciples of the Ascension Pavilion were all shocked, and then explained to the people around them:

"This is because in the process of answering questions, I supplemented the knowledge that the library did not have, and received feedback from the library, so I skipped a level directly!"

"The library is all-encompassing, and it is quite amazing to be able to supplement the knowledge that the library lacks!"

"Skipping a level is just a superficial reward, there should be other rewards!"

Chen Gao opened his mouth wide at this time, and then exclaimed: "It's worthy of you, Brother Li!"

They saw some signs of Li Xiuchang's extraordinaryness in Xianyin back then, and now these signs are getting stronger and stronger.

Li Xiuchang's skipping a level attracted a large number of onlookers.

They were tired of watching ordinary disciples of the Ascension Pavilion ascend to the Heavenly Steps, and they were too lazy to watch, but the genius who could jump thirty levels in one go was still worthy of their attention.

Li Xiuchang himself did not expect that such a situation would happen.

Contributing a germination method that was not valuable and difficult to use actually allowed him to skip thirty steps directly. In addition, the greater reward was the opportunity to get a "sudden enlightenment"!

He can choose any book or jade slip in the library to receive the enlightenment.

But it must be accessible to him.

If he can only reach the second floor, then he can only choose the books or jade slips on the second floor.

Everyone knows that the knowledge on the upper floor is more precious, and Li Xiuchang certainly intends to save this rare opportunity for the last use.

After what happened just now, Li Xiuchang understood that if he wanted to go further on the steps to heaven, it would be best to add more knowledge that is not in the library.

And he should not lack these things!

Whether it is the knowledge taught to him by several senior brothers, or some inventions he made by himself, and the inheritance of the other world he obtained in the other world, there should be a lot of knowledge that is not available in the library.

The problem is to find a suitable opportunity to integrate this knowledge into the process of answering questions.

According to the jade slip, others cannot see his answering process, do not know what kind of questions he faced, and what kind of answers he gave.

And the "new knowledge" he provided will be compiled into a book together with other new knowledge after a certain period of time and appear in the library.

Therefore, no one will know what new knowledge he provided.

He continued to climb the steps and stepped onto the 31st level.

The questions asked this time were related to refining.

The questions from the first level to the second level were generally simple, and there was no difficulty for Li Xiuchang.

Soon he answered the questions and climbed to the 32nd level.

Then, the 33rd level, the 34th level...

Li Xiuchang almost did not stop, one step at a time, climbing quickly.

The questions he answered were also varied, from various fields he mastered.

There were even some historical questions, because he had specialized in the history of the Xianyin Realm and was relatively proficient in it.

In this way, he went all the way unimpeded and broke through to the second level!

The onlookers were not surprised by this. For a person who could jump 30 levels, it was natural for him to break through to the second level.

Li Xiuchang came to the second floor of Dengxian Pavilion and officially entered the Dengxian Pavilion Library.

He felt as if he had come to a library, with rows of bookshelves around him, all filled with books and jade slips.

The Dengxian Pavilion Library is very special. It is managed by the so-called "immortal weapon" of Dengxian Pavilion. It will condense the new knowledge it collects into books and generate them on the bookshelves.

The first floor of the library has the richest collection of books.

And there is no limit to browsing.

The reward for Li Xiuchang to climb to the second floor is to unlock the permission of the first floor of the library. In the future, he can directly enter the first floor of the library and read all the books and jade slips in it.

The same is true for the upper floors. When you reach a certain floor, you can directly unlock the access permission of that floor.

In the future, you can enter directly without going through the way of ascending to the sky.

But if you want to unlock the permission of a higher level, there is only one way, ascending to the sky.

Li Xiuchang did not rush to climb up, but first came down from the sky and strolled around the first floor of the library.

He met several disciples of Dengxian Pavilion here. These disciples generally had low cultivation levels and were new disciples.

Li Xiuchang flipped through the inheritance of spiritual plants and other skills of Dengxian Pavilion and found that the first floor only had the most basic entry-level inheritance.

Apparently, more advanced inheritances were still above.

The spells on the first floor were basically all basic spells, and the skills only had the Qi training chapter.

It was of little value to Li Xiuchang.

However, it can be seen that the library of Dengxian Pavilion is indeed all-encompassing, even the skills and evil arts of the magic way are there...

Only the bookshelves that were dedicated to storing magic cultivation techniques and evil arts were sealed separately.

The seals were obviously added artificially.

Apparently, the library treated everyone equally, and regarded magic-related magic techniques as knowledge.

Li Xiuchang's heart moved. He was familiar with magic techniques and evil arts!

Why didn't he ask him about them when he climbed the ladder?

However, from the first floor to the second floor, the questions asked were relatively basic, and did not involve techniques and spells.

Li Xiuchang walked through the entire first floor of the library. Whether it was memory inheritance or magic techniques, they were of no use to him.

Instead, a pile of the least valued miscellaneous books aroused his interest.

The library of the outer sect of the Xianchen Sect also has such an area, which is dedicated to stacking various miscellaneous books, humanities and geography, miscellaneous anecdotes, historical legends, etc., all of which are placed in this miscellaneous book area.

Li Xiuchang had found relevant information about several senior brothers and sisters from these miscellaneous books before.

However, only the identities of Senior Brother Chen Changsheng, Senior Brother Motu, and Lu Yang and his wife were confirmed. As for Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi and Senior Brother Gui Wuyan, not much is known at present.

Li Xiuchang's spiritual sense swept through these miscellaneous books, invested in the books, captured every word, and soon the contents of these books flowed through his mind like water.

His expression suddenly paused, and silently turned out a book "The Chronicle of Immortal Cultivation Family" from a pile of books.

This book records the rise and fall of those great families that were once famous in the Xianyin Realm for more than 100,000 years.

The development of the immortal cultivation family has its bottleneck, which is far less than the upper limit of the sect. Therefore, as of now, the Xianyin Realm has completely become the world of the four major immortal gates.

Those old-fashioned families have either declined, transformed into sects, or directly merged into the four major immortal gates.

However, many families have also been glorious in the past.

The reason why Li Xiuchang noticed this book is that the book introduces the "Zhang Family", the former first family in the Xianyin Realm.

This family is very special and completely different from other large families with prosperous populations.

If a Xiuxian family wants to develop, it must have more people.

But the Zhang family has only one male heir in each generation, and he is also the only heir of the Zhang family.

Therefore, some people say that the title of the Zhang family is not worthy of its reputation as the first family.

But the Zhang family can make such a great reputation with only one heir in each generation, which shows its strength.

According to the "Xiuxian Family Chronicles", the heirs of each generation of the Zhang family are all peerless geniuses, and every head of the Zhang family finally ascended to the upper realm, without exception!

The people of the Zhang family are geniuses, enthusiastic, and generous, and they never develop their power, recruit troops, have no ambitions, and are not threatening. Which family would not like such people?

What's more, the Zhang family also has a refining inheritance that is known as the best in the world. Every generation of the Zhang family head is the top refining master in the Xianyin world.

Wherever the Zhang family goes, others have to give them three points of face.

Originally, if the Zhang family continued to develop in this way, although it could not grow, it would not decline.

But in fact, the Zhang family has disappeared from the Xianyin Realm for tens of thousands of years.

The reason for this is that the last generation of the Zhang family head has no descendants...

Each generation of the Zhang family head will get married early and give birth to children.

And before ascending, the position of the head of the family will be passed to his son.

Normally, the next head of the family at this time has grown up enough to be independent.

But the last generation of the Zhang family head did not get married until he ascended, let alone give birth to children.

So the Zhang family just disappeared in the Xianyin Realm...

According to the book, there are two main reasons why the last generation of the Zhang family head did not want to get married and have children.

One is that he practiced too smoothly and too quickly, and he ascended before he had time to find a suitable Taoist partner;

The second is that he looks too handsome. The average fairy standing next to him is three points uglier. He is unwilling to compromise and must find someone prettier than himself, but he has never found one.

"Isn't this Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi!"

This is too obvious, everything is right, it must be right!
