In the ancient pagoda's space, Cang Yun still had his eyes closed slightly as he used his mind to sense the situation in his dantian. When the 'Spirit Accumulation' released the last of his Origin Energy and returned to being calm, an uncontrollable joy finally arose in his heart.

Two years ago, he also did not reach this step. Thus, at this moment, he could be considered to have stepped into a new starting point.

Cultivation realm: Essence Condensation, Blood Spirit, Secret Art, Nihility God. If a martial artist's cultivation was compared to a tree, then the Origin Condensation Realm was like a seed, the Blood Spirit Realm was like a sapling sprouting into a tree, and the Secret Treasure Realm was like a sapling growing up.

And now, Cang Yun had taken his first step on this journey of growth.

In the next moment, a satisfied smile slowly appeared on Cang Yun's originally calm face. After which, he opened his eyes and withdrew from his training state.

The moment he opened his eyes, Cang Yun felt that something was wrong. Immediately, he saw the gazes that were fixed on him freeze slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Cang Yun blinked his eyes and turned his head to the side. He looked at the young girl standing beside him and asked doubtfully.

"Eh." Cang Yun came to a sudden understanding before smiling helplessly. Unlike Zhou Xian'er, he did not want to cause such a commotion. After all, the matter of his cultivation technique was related to his mother's family.

"What's wrong, is Big Brother Cang Yun unhappy?" Cang Yun's reaction caused Zhou Xian'er to frown, and she immediately asked.

"No, how could that be?" Putting the worry in his heart behind, Cang Yun revealed a happy smile as he said.

"Heh, then let's go as well. A lot of people are going as well." Zhou Xian'er laughed and urged him.

Hearing this, Cang Yun swept his gaze over the second level of the ancient tower. Indeed, many Zhou Clan disciples had already headed to the third level's trial path, and there weren't many people remaining.

"Alright, let's go as well." Cang Yun stood up and nodded as he clapped his hands.

On the third floor of the ancient pagoda, after Cang Yun and Zhou Xian'er walked out from the passageway, their expressions were stunned. Soon after, they looked at each other with surprise.

"This level of the trial, seems to be a little different?" Cang Yun looked at Zhou Xian'er, who had not disappeared from her side, and muttered to herself while stroking her chin.

"Yeah." Zhou Xian'er nodded her head, her expression was also surprised, it was clear that she did not understand the situation of the trial, but immediately after, she grabbed onto Cang Yun's arm, her beautiful face revealing an excited smile, and said: "However, this is good, now we can finally stop killing those Spirit Beasts alone."

As she spoke of killing the Spirit Beasts, an unnatural expression appeared on Zhou Xian'er's pure face. It was obvious that this pure young girl did not like the bloody scene that was unfolding before her.

Cang Yun smiled and did not say much. He understood the temperament of the young girl in front of him.

"Let's take a look at the content of this level first."

In the next moment, Cang Yun began to slightly raise his eyes as he began to inspect the trial grounds in front of him. Upon seeing this, Zhou Xian'er's expression became reserved as he scanned the area ahead of them.

"This, seems to be like a maze?" Moments later, Zhou Xian'er retracted her gaze, her eyes filled with confusion as she asked.

"Some, but it's hard to tell what's inside." Cang Yun nodded and answered.

The stone wall in front of them had four entrances, and following them was another stone wall. From a general perspective, it was somewhat similar to the maze that Zhou Xian'er had mentioned.

The next moment, Cang Yun took a few steps forward and reached out his hand to touch the stone wall. After a while, his face became serious.

"This is the toughest diamond, ordinary source energy cannot break it." As Cang Yun spoke, he picked up a piece of stone from the corner and pressed it down with his hand. However, the stone remained as it was before. The hardness of the stone was astonishing. It wouldn't have ended up like this if it was a normal stone.

"So, we can only choose one entrance?" Zhou Xian'er's face was filled with shock as she asked.

"Looks like this is the only way." Cang Yun shrugged his shoulders and looked at the entrance in front of him. He muttered to himself, "However, the dangers inside are unknown. You must be careful."

"This is only the third level of the trial. It shouldn't be too dangerous, right?" However, Zhou Xian'er raised her eyebrows and said.

"Maybe." Cang Yun seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the towering stone wall in front of him and said absentmindedly: "Don't you think that the first two levels of the trial is a little too simple? I think this is the real beginning, isn't it? "

Cang Yun voiced out his guess. He did not believe that the space that he had spent so much effort to create would be as simple as it was before.

Zhou Xian'er was startled for a moment, and then she nodded her head, as though she understood the meaning of Cang Yun's words, and her expression became cautious.

"Let's go."

In the next moment, the two of them chose the last entrance and walked in. Cang Yun had carefully observed before that there was nothing special about the four entrances. Hence, he could only try his luck and randomly choose one.

After the entrance, there was a relatively spacious bluestone path. There were high walls on both sides of the road and there was no other choice. Thus, the duo continued along the road.

Finally, after a long time, the two of them stopped. They looked at the intersection before them and began to ponder.

"Which one should I take?" Zhou Xian`er obviously had no idea as she tilted her head and asked.

Creak!

However, just as the two of them were about to step forward, a loud noise was suddenly heard from the corner. This caused the two of them to stop in their tracks.
