Jing Feng saw that Immortal White Crane and the others had all entered the Five-colored Pagoda. He urged with a longing look,"Eldest senior brother, let's go in as well. I want to see what kind of treasure it is that can make the experts of both the righteous and evil side pay so much attention to it. Perhaps we can also obtain the treasures in the pagoda.”
"Sigh! Jing Feng, immortal treasures aren't something that can be obtained by force. It depends on your luck and the immortal treasure. We must be careful when we enter the pagoda. It's best if we can get the spiritual treasure inside, but if we can't, don't force it. Our safety is the most important thing.”Ning Yunzi was afraid that Jing Feng would act out of anger and reminded him.
Jing Feng gripped the Dragon Subduing Wood that had just displayed its might and nodded his head with an indifferent expression.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" The five of them also charged into the mystical five-colored pagoda.
Upon entering the pagoda, the five of them were shocked to see the situation inside the pagoda. The entire pagoda was rippling with blue waves, like a world in the water, and some water attribute spiritual qi was constantly floating. On the spacious steps of the pagoda in the distance, there were three recently deceased devil experts lying in a disorderly manner. Looking at the appearance of these devil experts before they died, it was obvious that they had suddenly been attacked by the array formation in the pagoda and died.
Jing Feng gripped the Dragon Subduing Wood tightly as he approached Hong Yu. He looked at the situation in the tower and said,"Eldest senior brother, the first level of this Five-Colored Pagoda seems to be a world of water. It should be the first level of the Five-Colored Pagoda's water attribute. From the time Bai He and the others entered the tower, it was clear that the devil experts on the distant steps were not killed by Bai He and the others. They should have been killed by the water attribute array in the tower. However, there are no corpses of our disciples here. I think the devil experts have already broken the array on this floor. Bai He and the others have already followed the devil experts up. Senior Brother, we should follow them up.”
"En Jingfeng, you're right. This layer of water attribute spiritual energy is so dense, it should be the water layer of the five-colored pagoda. But I don't see Bai He and the others here, so I think they should be safe on the upper levels. As long as we follow them up slowly and wait for them to break the formations in the tower one by one, the danger for us will be small. But I'm afraid that there are many formations in this tower. As time passes, the formations will automatically form again. Let's hurry up. Everyone, remember to summon your protective ling armor first to avoid getting injured. Everyone must maintain a high level of vigilance!”After saying that, Ning Yunzi held the Spatial Illusion Sword and walked up the stairs to the tower.
Just as he was about to climb up, Ning Yunzi suddenly remembered that Jing Feng did not have any protective ling armor. She turned her head and said to Jing Feng,"Jing Feng, you don't have any ling armor to protect you, so don't take the risk to go up. If senior brother obtains the treasure in the tower, he will definitely give it to you first, okay?”
Jing Feng felt warmth in his heart and said gratefully to Ning Yunzi,"Senior Brother, have you forgotten that I have the Earth Spiritual Shield? You've seen the defensive power of my Earth Spiritual Shield. Recently, I've been practicing the Earth Spiritual Shield. I think the defensive power of the Earth Spiritual Shield is even stronger than when we first started the martial arts competition.”
"Alright then. Jing Feng, you must be careful. We must return to Tiandao Sect safely, understand?”Ning Yunzi reminded again.
Jing Feng and the other three each summoned their spiritual armor and gripped their spiritual weapons tightly, then followed Ning Yunzi up slowly.
As expected, Jing Feng and the others easily climbed to the second level of the Five-Colored Pagoda.
As soon as they stepped into the second floor, the underwater world transformed into a green forest. From time to time, green Spiritual Lights of Life floated in the forest, making everyone feel as if they were bathing in a spring breeze.
"Eldest Senior Brother, look!" Ning Yunzi looked in the direction Jing Feng was pointing at. From the second to the third step, there were five more corpses of demonic experts.
"Hmm ~~ Looks like these people died from the attack of this formation. But from the looks of it, the spiritual energy in the second layer is very calm. I think this layer of array has already been broken by the demonic path experts. I think we shouldn't be in danger now. Let's go and take a look at the third layer.”Ning Yunzi boldly analyzed.
The group passed through the dense forest, past the corpses of the demonic path experts, and walked towards the third level.
As soon as they entered the third level of the five-colored pagoda, a wave of heat assaulted their faces. In front of them was a river formed by lava. The third level of the five-colored pagoda was the fire level.
"It's so hot. Eldest Senior Brother, let's go up quickly. It's too hot here.”Just as Jing Feng was grumbling, the Fire Spirit on Jing Feng's body suddenly flashed continuously.
The Fire Spirit in Jing Feng's body could feel that the Fire Spiritual Qi in the fire layer was extremely abundant. It was absorbing the Fire Spiritual Qi crazily. Jing Feng could not help but sit cross-legged and cultivate.
The Yin-Yang Nascent Soul in Jing Feng's body was also undergoing changes. It was growing in an irregular manner. This abnormal growth had also brought a hint of danger to Jing Feng. However, Jing Feng did not notice it.
" Eldest Senior Brother, Jing Feng is…" Ming Yu asked in surprise.
"Junior Brother, there are too many things about Jing Feng that we can't understand. We shouldn't forcefully interfere.”Ning Yunzi shook his head and said to Ming Yu.
Because too many abnormalities had occurred on Jing Feng's body, Ning Yunzi and the others were not surprised to see the red light that appeared on Jing Feng's body absorbing the wisps of fire attribute spiritual energy around him.
After about two hours, Jing Feng gradually woke up from absorbing the Fire Spiritual Qi. The number of Fire Spirits in Jing Feng's body had increased by more than half compared to the beginning. He could no longer feel the heat in the fire layer. Instead, he felt refreshed and extremely comfortable.
"Senior brother, I've kept you waiting. Let's hurry to the fourth floor.”Jing Feng couldn't help but cultivate, making Ning Yunzi and the others wait for him to wake up in this hot environment. Jing Feng felt a little embarrassed.
"It's fine, Jing Feng. It's a good opportunity for you to be able to cultivate on your own in this environment. This cultivation will be of great help to you in the future.”Ning Yunzi patted Jing Feng's shoulder and said.
"Alright, let's go! He wanted to see what the fourth level would be like.”The group carefully passed through the lava river. When they reached the fourth level, they saw the corpses of a few more demonic experts. This time, a total of eight demonic experts had died. Clearly, with every level of the five-colored pagoda, the offensive array in the pagoda would increase by one level.
" Senior Sister was on the third level just now. Because I unintentionally cultivated on my own, you guys stayed for too long. You didn't feel uncomfortable, right?" Jing Feng asked concernedly as they were climbing up to the fourth level.
"I'm fine, but you have to be careful this time. Don't act on impulse. I hope that we can all return to Tiandao Sect safely.”Hong Yu smiled at Jing Feng and replied.
When Jing Feng heard Hong Yu's concerned words, he instantly felt his entire body filled with energy.
"Desert, it's actually a brown desert.”Ming Yu shouted. When they reached the fourth level of the five-colored pagoda, a brown desert appeared in front of them.
"The desert belongs to the earth. I think the fourth layer should be the earth layer, and the remaining layer should be the gold layer.”Ning Yunzi said as she looked at the vast desert.
"Everyone, be careful. Now that we've arrived at the fourth floor, we're only a step away from the top floor. Each floor of the five-colored pagoda is more mysterious than the last. We didn't receive any attacks on the first three floors, so in order to be cautious, we should proceed carefully to the fourth floor.”Ning Yunzi suddenly felt uneasy.
Everyone carefully moved forward. After a third of the journey, a huge desert vortex suddenly appeared in the desert. The powerful suction force of the vortex kept drawing everyone closer and closer.
Seeing that everyone was about to be swallowed by the whirlpool, Jing Feng gritted his teeth and exerted force. He used the force to leap into the desert whirlpool. After the whirlpool swallowed Jing Feng, it completely disappeared.
"Jing Feng, Jing Feng!" Hong Yu and the others shouted anxiously when they saw Jing Feng suddenly jump into the desert whirlpool. Hong Yu mustered all her strength to attack the vast desert, but it was completely useless. When the desert was attacked, only small whirlpools appeared. She could not find any traces of Jing Feng at all.
Just as Hong Yu and the others were feeling despair, a vortex suddenly appeared in the middle of the desert. Jing Feng slowly emerged from the vortex.
"Jing Feng!" Seeing Jing Feng appear safe and sound in front of her, Hong Yu ignored everyone's gazes and rushed into Jing Feng's arms like a fly, hugging him tightly.
Because it was the first time Jing Feng and Hong Yu had embraced each other, Jing Feng felt his heart beat faster and he could not breathe. However, a warm current appeared in the bottom of his heart and spread rapidly.
"Cough cough!" Ning Yunzi coughed awkwardly when she saw Jing Feng and Hong Yu hugging each other tightly.
When Ning Guangzi saw Jing Feng and Hong Yu's actions, he frowned slightly and turned his head away without saying anything.
Hong Yu struggled out of Jing Feng's embrace with a flushed face when she heard Eldest Senior Brother's cough. She lowered her head and looked at the desert beneath her feet.
Jing Feng's face was flushed red and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak.
When Ning Yunzi saw the awkward expressions of the two, she smiled slightly in her heart and asked,"Jing Feng, you really scared us just now. Can you tell us what happened after you entered the desert whirlpool?”
After Ning Yunzi's question, Jing Feng gradually recovered from his embarrassment and said,"Senior Brother, I took a gamble just now. Because I cultivated a kind of magic art, an earth spirit of the earth attribute had long been formed in my body. When I saw that everyone was about to be sucked into the vortex, I was anxious and summoned the earth spirit shield. I jumped into the desert vortex and wanted to destroy the formation. At that time, when I was about to be swept into the bottom of the desert vortex, the earth spirit in my body suddenly appeared. The earth spirit shield kept expanding and the earth spirit kept absorbing the earth spirit energy in the desert vortex. Suddenly, my entire body shook. I vaguely sensed that I had broken through to the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm and advanced to the early-stage Great Dao realm. After that, I absorbed a large amount of the power of the desert vortex and gradually controlled the vortex. In the end, I controlled the vortex to send me back.”
When they heard that not only did Jing Feng not encounter any danger when he jumped into the desert whirlpool, but he had also improved his realm in that environment and reached the early-stage Great Dao realm, everyone was amazed.
Just as everyone was rejoicing over Jing Feng's increase in cultivation level, the sound of a battle entered their ears.
"Senior Brother, it seems like there are people fighting on the fifth floor.”Ming Yu frowned.
"En! I think it should be that Bai He and the others met the devil path experts after entering the fifth level and fought for the treasures of the fifth level.”Ning Yunzi thought for a moment and said.
"Let's go help!" Ming Yu urged when he heard that the cultivators were fighting with the demonic experts.
Seeing that Ming Yu was about to run towards the fifth level, Jing Feng hurriedly grabbed his arm and said,"Senior Mingyu, have you forgotten how Profound Heart Sect treated us? Moreover, when Bai He bullied us, no one from the Immortal Sword Sect and Peerless Sect stood up for us. Humph! Just let them fight each other. When they're tired, we can go up. Maybe we can benefit from it.”
Even though Ning Yunzi usually followed the old rules, she had always remembered what her master, Perfected Ling Yun, had told her to not intensify the conflict between the two sects when it came to her attitude towards the Profound Heart Sect. Ning Yunzi felt that Jing Feng's words made sense. This method would not help the Profound Heart Sect, nor would it offend the Profound Heart Sect. Moreover, it would allow her to adjust her condition to her peak. "We were attacked by the desert whirlpool just now and consumed a lot of spiritual power. I think we should recover here and adjust our condition to the best condition."”
Hearing Eldest Senior Brother Ning Yunzi speak, Mingyu and the others did not speak anymore. They sat cross-legged and recovered their consumed spiritual qi.
Seeing that everyone was sitting cross-legged and meditating, Jing Feng quietly walked to Hong Yu's side and transmitted his voice,"Senior Sister, I will never forget you. I will always remember that hug just now.”
"Jing Feng! I will always remember this day. Alright, let's quickly meditate and recover. We still have to face a fierce battle later. The people on the fifth layer are all powerful figures in the cultivation world. You must be careful, understand? Promise me that you will return to Tiandao Sect safely.”Hong Yu replied gently.
"Senior sister, you have to be careful too. We will definitely return safely.”With that said, Jing Feng also sat cross-legged to consolidate his newly-advanced early-stage Great Dao realm.
