The pressure in the temple never eased, and several lightly injured cultivators began to show signs of worsening. The two from Black Wind Stronghold were the first to succumb and retreated.
The remaining few walked to the left side of the temple, where there was a staircase leading to the Second Floor.
No one knew what was on the second floor. Each sect only mentioned the first floor having It Mountain Spring, while no one spoke of the second floor.
As they stepped onto the staircase to the second floor, the pressure inside the hall suddenly intensified, nearly doubling. A female disciple from New School was directly overwhelmed by the sudden pressure and fell to the ground in a state of utter disarray. Even Huang Chang stumbled.
Hua Du and Cai Shujun tensed up, while Gao Jingsong and Jindalai began to sweat profusely.
The pressure did not stabilize; with each step up the staircase, it increased further. By the time they reached the third step, Gao Jingsong stopped, shook his head, and exited It Mountain Temple.
By the seventh step, both Huang Chang and Jindalai could no longer endure and also retreated.
As they stepped onto the final stair, Hua Du and Cai Shujun started sweating. The three of them sighed in relief; it felt as if they were carrying a thousand-pound burden while climbing this set of stairs. Once they entered the second floor, the pressure no longer increased, but their movements were still somewhat sluggish.
Seeing Xu Feng's calm demeanor, they couldn't help but admire him secretly.
Xu Feng's Five Elements Body Refinement gave him a physical strength far exceeding that of ordinary cultivators. However, even under such immense pressure, he felt overwhelmed; he could only force himself to remain composed, especially since he was accompanied by beautiful women—maintaining his image was quite necessary.
The three looked around and were taken aback.
The second floor had six weapon racks, but there were no weapons—only racks. It seemed that any weapons that had been here had long been claimed. The weapons that could appear here were certainly not as simple as Superior Spirit Swords; could they be magical treasures?
Six magical treasures? Six...
An image flashed through Xu Feng's mind, but he couldn't grasp it fully.
The three walked back and forth around the six racks. The materials used for the racks were top-notch; if taken apart, they could easily break Superior Spirit Tools. However, they weren't desperate enough to go that far; otherwise, they might have really taken them home.
Hua Du reached the third level of the stairs, hesitated for a moment, then stepped back and said, "Fellow Daoists, I won't be going up to the third level. If you two still wish to go up, I will take my leave first."
"I will also go down," Cai Shujun understood Hua Du's meaning; the pressure on the third level would undoubtedly be greater. They had already reached their limit on the second level, and it was impossible to go any further.
The two looked at Xu Feng, who said, "I want to give it a try."
Hua Du smiled and said, "Yan Daoyou is impressive. I wish you good luck in advance." His tone was sincere, no longer carrying the arrogance he had at Wuhua Island. It was expected that Xu Feng would choose to stay.
Cai Shujun said, "Then we will wait for Yan Daoyou outside the hall. It's getting late; please don't take too long." With that, he went downstairs first.
Hua Du followed closely behind. He wanted to get closer to Cai Shujun but ultimately maintained his distance.
The pressure on the third level was indeed much stronger. Each step required great effort, and by the fifth step, Xu Feng was already swaying unsteadily, leaning against the wall as he pushed himself upward.
By the eighth step, Xu Feng resorted to using both hands and feet, crawling and rolling his way over the last two steps.
Finally reaching the third level, Xu Feng collapsed onto the ground for a moment before taking out a self-refined super Fifth-Level Concentration Pill and swallowing it to replenish his depleted spiritual energy.
Ten minutes later, Xu Feng got up from the ground and staggered over to a Jade Table in the center.
The space on the third level was significantly smaller than on the second level, with four sides being quite empty except for a one-meter square Jade Table in the middle. On top of the Jade Table sat an exquisite Wooden Box, surrounded by shimmering silver light with dense electric sparks dancing around it—this was a formidable Light Array set up in mid-air. In front of the Light Array was a palm-sized Blue Space that resembled both a door and a Talisman.
On the table in front of the Wooden Box lay a jade slip. Xu Feng knew this was an information carrier used only by Golden Core Stage Cultivators; by inscribing thoughts into it with spiritual consciousness, others could read it using their spiritual power—much more convenient than paper books.
Underneath the jade slip was an unfinished Talisman with scattered characters written on it; it was clear that this was a failed talisman.
To the right of the Jade Table lay a specially made Symbol Pen. The pen tip shimmered with moving light; its material was unknown but showed no signs of drying out even after ten years. Xu Feng believed that as long as he picked it up, he could write with it effortlessly.
Aside from that, Xu Feng picked up the jade slip, knowing that all the information was contained within. Indeed, as Xu Fengling reached over, it was as if opening a storage bag; a passage of text transmitted from the jade slip into Xu Feng's mind.
"Use the right-side talisman brush to fill in the blanks on the Unlocking Talisman, then insert it into the blue light gate. The exterior of the Wooden Box is protected by the Aurora Strong Killing Formation. If the Unlocking Talisman is filled out incorrectly, the holder will face slaughter; those below the Transcending Tribulation stage will either die or be severely injured. This must not be violated; leave it for those with fate. Be cautious, be cautious."
Aurora Strong Killing Formation? Unlocking Talisman? Transcending Tribulation?
Xu Feng organized his thoughts and quickly understood the meaning of the jade slip. To obtain the wooden box, one must use the Unlocking Talisman to break through the outer Aurora Strong Killing Formation. However, the Unlocking Talisman is an incomplete talisman that requires the breaker to fill in themselves. If one uses a talisman filled out incorrectly to break through, they will be attacked by the Aurora Strong Killing Formation, and cultivators below the Transcendence Period would find it hard to escape death.
Transcendence Period! The Kingdom of Fragrance! Even in all of Xuanlu, there are hardly a few who could be found. Xu Feng had only seen it mentioned in books.
Who set up this Aurora Strong Killing Formation to possess such power?
Xu Feng picked up the tattered talisman on the table and saw that it was covered with various incomprehensible runes, with a few sparse golden characters standing upright on both sides, clearly meant for someone to fill in.
"--Hundred Schools, --Flower--Smile, lightly--lightly--."
"--Thousand Mountains, --Blade—Stand, faintly--faintly--."
"Uh..." Upon seeing this talisman, Xu Feng couldn't help but show an extremely strange expression.
"Don't learn from your brother; your brother has good character!"
Xu Feng only needed to read half a sentence to know what word needed to be filled in. Brother's words—aren't these lines from Blue and White Porcelain? No wonder they seemed so familiar; even if he couldn't memorize them, he could just pull out Blue and White Porcelain and copy them.
Xu Feng took out Blue and White Porcelain, and sure enough, it was written on the bottle wall:
"Nong Hui Bai Jia, plucking flowers with a light smile, lightly veiled in mist."
“Bright Mirror of a Thousand Mountains, standing alone with a sword, the vast rivers and lakes seem distant to her.”
In contrast, the Blue and White Porcelain bears the inscription of “Zuo Qiumingjian,” while this talisman does not.
Zuo Qiumingjian? Could it be that this secret realm was constructed by Zuo Qiumingjian? Who exactly is this Zuo Qiumingjian, who not only created a reverse Blue and White Porcelain but also managed to produce such a vast secret realm, even defeating masters of the Transcendence Period? This is simply unbelievable.
Xu Feng faintly sensed that Zuo Qiumingjian must be an existence so high that one cannot look up to it.
He took the talisman brush from the right side and filled in the missing words on the talisman paper. He directed his heart towards the blue door of the Aurora Strong Killing Formation.
The electric light surrounding the Aurora Strong Killing Formation rapidly swirled, then receded layer by layer, disappearing into nothingness, revealing the interior Purple Wooden Box.
The Wooden Box was flat, not much larger than a pencil case. The front had a recessed button; Xu Feng did not dare to be careless. He crouched down and lightly pressed on the button, causing the Wooden Box to gently pop open.
At the bottom of its silver-gray inner wall, a piece of unevenly edged blueprint came into view.
