n“Do you guys feel a kind of pressure from this Cultivation Dao Pagoda?” Wang Baocai asked them after his joy.

nAs an eighth level foundation establishment cultivator, he felt the most obvious pressure from the spirit qi.

nAfter hearing what Wang Baocai said, he looked at the other party and replied.

n“Yes, there is, but it feels very light. What about you guys?”

nAs he spoke, he looked at the three women. The three women also nodded and replied, “indeed, I also feel a faint sense of oppression.”

nZhao Xuening stretched out her hand and grabbed at the air as if she was grabbing a ball of spirit qi as she replied.

nLi Mengxi nodded lightly and did not reply. She did not say much when Zhao Xuening was around. Perhaps she just did not want to cause any disputes.

nNie Ling also looked at Su Yi and nodded her head lightly.

nSeeing that everyone was like this, Su Yi’s eyes flashed. With his previous experience of exploring the mystic realm, he could guess what this Cultivation Dao Pagoda was going to do.

nAfter this thought flashed through his mind, he slowly told them his guess.

n“This pagoda is used for cultivation, but it shouldn’t be that simple. There might be some small tests attached to it. Let’s head to the second level and take a look. Everyone, be careful.”

nWhen everyone heard this, they nodded their heads with certainty.

nThe three women naturally did not need to say much. After all, they were the most familiar with Su Yi and had sufficient trust in him.

nAfter witnessing his true strength, Wang Baocai admired Su Yi from the bottom of his heart. Naturally, he did not have any strange thoughts.

nAfter receiving everyone’s affirmation, he did not hesitate. He began to search for a passage to the second level on the first level of the pagoda.

nThe first level was not very big, but it had a space of nearly a hundred square meters. Of course, this was not a problem for cultivators.

nSoon, they found a staircase leading up.

n“This should be the staircase leading to the second level of the Cultivation Dao Pagoda, right?” looking at the wooden staircase, Wang Baocai asked doubtfully.

nIn their eyes, there was a thin layer of mist at the end of the staircase, like a door.

n“Yes or no, we’ll know once we get there.”

nThe corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he slowly walked up the stairs. The stairs were not very long, but the sound of his footsteps made a clear sound.

nSoon, Su Yi arrived at the end of the stairs. Looking at the thin layer of mist in his eyes, he poked it with his hand and found that there was no danger.

nSo he took the lead and stepped in.

nHis figure passed through the thin layer of mist as if he was passing through a layer of water, and there was no sense of stagnation. Soon, he had completely entered the second level of the cultivation tower.

nSpiritual energy that was even denser than the first level assaulted his face. At the same time, a Dao voice prompt sounded in his mind.

nHint: You have entered the second level of the Cultivation Dao Pagoda. The effect of cultivating here will be increased by 100%.

n“As expected, the concentration of spiritual energy has directly doubled.”

nHe slightly waved his hand, feeling the cool spiritual energy in his hand as though it was being brushed by soft hair.

nNot only did the density of the spiritual aura double, but even the faint pressure had also increased by quite a lot.

n“So that’s how it is…” he softly muttered.

nAt this moment, everyone had also passed through the thin film and arrived at the second level. Immediately, they sensed the even denser spiritual aura.

nJoy appeared on their faces. If they were to train here, one day would be equivalent to two days outside.

nZhao Xuening, who had entered earlier, heard Su Yi’s mutter. Hence, she curiously walked forward.

nA pair of watery eyes looked at Su Yi and asked in a puzzled manner, “have you discovered what it is?”

nDue to her understanding of Su Yi, she did not ask him what he had thought of. Instead, she asked him what he had discovered.

nHe looked at Zhao Xuening when he heard this. After which, he gently nodded and replied, “mm.”

nAfter replying, he looked at everyone and raised his voice.

n“Everyone, I reckon that we have already figured out the situation of this Cultivation Dao Pagoda. Can you all feel that the spiritual energy here is exerting an even greater pressure on your bodies?”

nUpon hearing this, everyone carefully felt it and discovered that it was really like that. They had just come up and only cared about being happy, so they did not have the time to notice the changes in their bodies.

nNow that Su Yi had brought it up, they naturally noticed it.

nAt this moment, Li Mengxi felt a faint spiritual qi pressure and said, “fellow Daoist Su, you mean that the spiritual qi pressure will increase with each level of the Cultivation Dao Pagoda, right?”

nLi Mengxi’s character was more stable, but at the same time, she was more meticulous. When Su Yi brought it up, she immediately thought of this idea.

nWhen he heard this, Su Yi looked at Li Mengxi and smiled slightly. Then, he nodded and said, “that’s right. Just as fellow Daoist Li said, this is very likely a method to restrict a cultivator’s cultivation time. Otherwise, if you cultivate at the top of this Cultivation Dao Pagoda for a year and a half, wouldn’t you be invincible in the world?”

nHe used a slightly funny expression as he said this, causing everyone to smile.

nAt this moment, Wang Baocai also understood the meaning behind Zhao Xuening’s words that he would only treat people as friends and not subordinates.

nSeeing that everyone was smiling faintly, the atmosphere was no longer as oppressive. He pointed to the stairs leading to the third level and encouraged them.

n“Everyone, how many levels you can reach will depend on you. Remember, do what you can. Let’s go!”

nWith that, he moved like a gust of wind in the second level of the Cultivation Dao Pagoda, which was filled with pressure.

nThe second level was not enough to stop them. Their goal was to go to the higher levels to cultivate.

nThey were looking forward to the day when everyone would come out of their closed-door cultivation. would their strength increase greatly? The answer was yes. Perhaps it was the right choice to agree to Wang Baocai’s exploration of the ancient ruins.

nSoon, they began to take action. When they reached the third level, the pressure of spirit energy suddenly increased, and their cultivation speed increased by 200%.

nOn the fourth level, their cultivation speed increased by 250%. Other than Su Yi, everyone else’s pace had slowed down, but they did not stop.

nThe fourth level was not their limit. They reached the fifth level again. The spirit energy here was so dense that it had turned into fog, and the increase in their cultivation speed had reached 300%!

nAt this moment, Li Mengxi and Nie Ling were already showing signs of being unable to hold on, but they did not stop at the fifth level to cultivate.

nThey knew that if they did not work hard to pull the distance between them after obtaining such an opportunity, then sooner or later, they would be left further and further behind.

nOn the other hand, Zhao Xuening was still somewhat relaxed after reaching the fifth level.

nVery soon, they reached the sixth level. Nie Ling and Li Mengxi stopped at this level and began to cultivate on their own. The increase in cultivation speed on the sixth level was a terrifying 400%.

nIt seemed that every third level of the Cultivation Dao Pagoda was like a bottleneck. The pressure of the spirit qi would suddenly increase.

nOn the seventh level, the cultivation speed increased by 450%. Wang Baocai stopped at this level to cultivate.

nWhat surprised him was that Zhao Xuening still had the energy to go to the eighth level with him.

nThe two of them looked at each other and smiled as they slowly walked towards the eighth level.

nWang Baocai could not help but mutter as he watched the two of them slowly walk up the stairs to the eighth level.

n“What a pair of monsters.”

nOn the eighth level, the speed of cultivation increased by 500%. Zhao Xuening could not hold on any longer and stopped cultivating on this level.

nSu Yi, who had been extremely relaxed the entire way, also felt a heavy pressure on the eighth level. However, he still had the energy to go to the last level, the ninth level!

nHe stepped through the thin membrane of the ninth floor and entered the last floor of the Cultivation Dao Pagoda.
