After becoming a villain, the heroine overheard my thoughts

Just from He Yuan's facial expression, Lu Shengxiang had guessed what he was thinking.

At that moment, he frowned and said, "Young man, I admit that you are very brave and courageous. But I still advise you to think twice before you act. The reason why Junior Brother Chen did not remind you not to easily climb to the seventh floor of the tower is because he felt that none of you could reach the top."

"but!"

He glanced at He Yuan deeply and said, "I know that with your talent, it is not difficult to reach the top. Therefore, I advise you not to act rashly! It is because Junior Brother Chen is a lesson for us. After him, no younger disciples who entered the Soul-Calming Tower dared to climb to the seventh floor easily!"

Hear the words.

He Yuan's face became unusually serious, and he said, "Senior, I know that you are concerned about me, so you said such heartfelt words. But what I want to say is that this matter has probably been hundreds of years in the past. Don't you want to know what happened on the seventh floor of this Soul-Calming Tower?"

"This……"

When Lu Shengxiang heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

to be frank.

After learning about what happened to his junior fellow apprentice brother Chen Tuan, he did have an urge to enter the top floor of the Soul-Calming Tower to find out what was going on.

However, no matter how they asked, Chen Tuan never mentioned anything about his experience on the seventh floor of the Soul-Calming Tower, and he also missed the best time to climb to the top of the Soul-Calming Tower.

Later, because each disciple of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect could only enter the Soul-Calming Tower once, he was unable to continue entering the tower to explore the secrets of the seventh floor.

Since then.

The seventh floor of the Soul-Calming Tower seems to have become a taboo that people in the Wanxian Sect avoid talking about.

Fortunately, in the following hundreds of years, no one in the Wanxian Sect had a talent comparable to that of Chen Tuan, so no one could climb to the top of the Soul-Calming Tower again.

So after a long time, people have almost forgotten about it.

It was not until the appearance of He Yuan today that the memories of the sixth generation leader of the Wanxian Sect, which had been sealed for many years, suddenly seemed to be unlocked.

After waiting for hundreds of years, he finally saw the emergence of a stunning genius in their Wanxian Sect who had created a body of all spirits.

He was determined not to bear to see the other party suffer the same fate as his junior fellow apprentice Chen Tuan, and was eventually destroyed on the seventh floor of the Soul-Calming Tower.

However, He Yuan's next words left him with no way to refute.

He Yuan sighed heavily and said, "Senior, I am really grateful for your care for me! But as cultivators, we can't always live under the shadow of our ancestors, right? Dare to fight and have a spirit of not admitting defeat, these are the rules that cultivators of our generation should follow."

"after all!"

He said calmly: "Our Tianyuan Continent is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and fists are the only way to win! Only by becoming strong can you gain a certain say in this world!"

After a moment of silence, Lu Shengxiang finally glanced at him deeply and said, "Young man, you are great. It has been a long time since a young man with such lofty ambitions as you appeared in front of me! Okay, since you are determined to climb to the top of the Soul-Calming Tower, then I will not stop you."

After a pause, he continued, "But I want to remind you that after reaching the seventh floor, you must not easily believe everything you see. Well, this is all I can tell you..."

then.

The old sect leader seemed to have consumed a large amount of divine power, and his soul became weaker. He immediately closed his eyes and began to recuperate.

at the same time.

The tower wall behind Lu Shengxiang suddenly opened to both sides, revealing a stone staircase that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.

The color of this stone staircase is the same as the surrounding tower walls, which is dark brown.

This should be the ladder that already existed when the Soul-Calming Tower was built.

However, He Yuan did not expect at first that it was actually hidden in one of the six-sided tower walls.

"senior?"

He Yuan tried to greet Lu Shengxiang and said, "Following this stone staircase, can I directly reach the top of the tower?"

however.

This time, the sixth generation leader of the Wanxian Sect seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and did not speak a word to give him any advice.

He Yuan pondered for a moment, and finally stopped worrying about this issue.

At that moment, he clasped his fists and bowed to the soul of Lu Shengxiang who was sitting cross-legged opposite him, then walked towards the stone stairs.

After taking the first step onto the stone stairs, he suddenly felt his whole body sink.

It felt as if I had instantly arrived in a different dimension where the gravity acceleration had been invisibly increased three or four times.

With every step he took, he felt as if the weight of his body was increased.

After climbing up ten steps, He Yuan suddenly felt as if his feet were filled with thousands of pounds of lead and iron. Even lifting a step became extremely difficult.

"Could it be... this is the true test that the Soul-Calming Tower is giving to us, the sect disciples who enter the tower?"

He Yuan thought so, so he took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted, pouring all the energy in his dantian into his feet.

"drink!"

Accompanied by He Yuan's shout.

His feet, which had originally felt as heavy as lead, were finally able to move slowly upwards.

So and so.

He Yuan continued to climb to the top of the tower step by step.

rear.

Under the stone steps.

On the cushion, Lu Shengxiang, who had originally closed his eyes and was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.

He stared at He Yuan who was struggling to climb the stone stairs with a complicated look, and murmured, "Little guy, I know you have made up your mind, and I can't stop you. But for a genius like you who only appears once in a thousand years, how can I bear to let your talent be strangled on the seventh floor of the Soul-Calming Tower."

"Alas, it's a pity that my ability is limited!"

He sighed heavily and said, "So now you can only risk the last breath of my soul to open this ladder I set up in the Soul-Calming Tower and let it sharpen your body and soul."

"As long as you can successfully pass this Thousand-Step Ladder, your body-refining skills will surely enter a new realm."

“By then, even if you face that terrifying existence on the seventh floor, you should be able to protect yourself…”

He Yuan naturally didn't know that the stone stairs he was climbing were actually the heavy ladder that Lu Shengxiang had used to sharpen himself.

I do not know how long it has been.

When he finally walked up the last step of the stone stairs, the view in front of him suddenly became clear.

It turns out that the end of the stone stairs is connected to a vast Gobi desert.
