On the third black stone tablet of the Phaseless Sky Shrouding Pagoda, Zhou Cheng's name was at the top. He had already reached the eighth floor. Below him was a person called Li Shuqiu, who had reached the seventh floor. She was also a Legacy Disciple of the Phaseless Sect.
Among the forty-nine people who had entered the pagoda, two of them were Legacy Disciples of the Phaseless Sect. Their limelight had instantly suppressed the others.
The third person had reached the sixth floor, while the rest had either reached the sixth or fifth floor. Even the worst had reached the fourth floor. Only Chu Mu's name was at the second floor.
"It's only the second floor."
"What is this person doing here? Wasting time."
"If he can't do it, then hurry up and come out. He's an eyesore."
Many people were unhappy and roared. Xue Yinling ignored them, and Chu Mu naturally wouldn't hear them.
"It seems like there's really nothing to look forward to." A few experts of the Phaseless Palace said.
"Since there's nothing to look forward to, let's go back."
After speaking, the figures disappeared into the crowd.
"Let's guess which floor this Chu Mu will fail at."
"I guess the third floor."
"I guess the third floor as well."
"The fourth floor."
"The fourth floor at most. The third floor has the highest possibility."
"He might not even be able to pass the second floor."
In the second floor of the Faceless Covering Sky Pagoda, Chu Mu perfected the formation again. However, he perfected it by constructing a model in his mind and not by actually perfecting it. This was because he was worried that if he actually perfected it, it would cause some unfavorable changes.
The second floor's array was more advanced than the first floor, and the difficulty of perfecting it was also higher. However, Chu Mu had a certain level of attainment in array dao. Adding to the fact that he had perfected the first floor three times in a row, his array dao had improved slightly. Therefore, the first perfecting of the second floor wasn't difficult.
The second perfecting, the third perfecting.
When the sand in the hourglass was about to fall, Chu Mu hastily broke the array. His figure flashed and appeared on the third floor.
The rooms on every floor of the Phaseless Covering Sky Pagoda were more or less the same. The only difference was the array formations. The higher one went, the more profound the array formations were. However, Chu Mu still didn't directly break the array formations. Instead, he studied the array formations. After studying the array formations and knowing how to break them, he began to simulate and perfect the array formations.
The third layer's array was more advanced than the second layer's. It was more difficult to perfect it, but the time required to do so had not increased. This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of deciphering the array. Of course, for most people, the third layer's array was not that difficult to decipher.
This time, Chu Mu perfected it three more times. He almost didn't have enough time, but he smiled.
The first layer's array formation was the simplest. After perfecting it three times, the time was almost up. The second layer's array formation was also perfected three times, and the time was almost up. Now, the third layer's array formation was also perfected three times, and the time was also almost up. Calculating, the time required to perfect the array formation three times was about the same. This meant that Chu Mu had made progress in the Array Dao.
After entering the fourth layer, the first place, Zhou Cheng, had already reached the tenth layer. The second place, Li Shuqiu, had reached the ninth layer. To the Phaseless Sect's Legacy Disciples, this result was nothing much. However, the third place was only on the seventh layer. The gap was starting to show.
For most people who studied array formations, it wasn't difficult for them to pass through the first three layers. However, there were many who stopped at the sixth layer. There were fewer who could reach the ninth layer.
The fourth layer's array formation was more advanced, and the difficulty of perfecting it had increased by a lot. However, Chu Mu continued to perfect it. After barely perfecting it three times, he immediately broke the array formation and entered the fifth layer.
At this moment, Zhou Cheng had entered the eleventh layer, Li Shuqiu had entered the tenth layer, and the third place had entered the eighth layer. As for the others, they were all on the seventh and sixth layer. The gap between Chu Mu and them was unknowingly shrinking.
"Eh? That Chu Mu actually reached the fifth layer."
"Unbelievable."
"It can't be dog shit luck, right?"
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, another half an hour had passed. On the black stone tablet, after Chu Mu's name, the number of layers changed again. It was the sixth layer, and it instantly caused a wave of exclamations.
At this moment, of the forty-nine names on the black stone tablet, a portion of them were still on the sixth layer. In other words, they were easily ahead of Chu Mu, but now, Chu Mu had caught up to them.
After a while, a figure flickered and appeared outside the tower. At the same time, a name on the black stone tablet emitted light, indicating that this person had failed to pass through the tower and had stopped at the sixth layer.
"Damn it!" That person's face was ugly. He had prepared for a long time to pass through the tower, but in the end, he was only on the sixth layer.
After a few more minutes, another two people left the Phaseless Sky Tower. One stopped at the sixth layer, and the other stopped at the seventh layer.
As time passed, more people were sent out of the Phaseless Sky Tower. More than half of the people were sent out, and the number of layers after Chu Mu's name changed again. It was the seventh layer.
From the beginning, he was at the bottom. Gradually, he caught up with the others and even surpassed them, which caused another wave of discussion.
"What's wrong with this guy?"
"Too strange."
Everyone was puzzled.
Under normal circumstances, it was so difficult to pass through the first three layers, which meant that his array skills were very ordinary. There was no hope for him to continue. But now, he had reached the seventh layer, which was really puzzling.
"Could it be that he wasn't focused on breaking the formation earlier, but was doing something else instead? Only when the time was almost up did he make a move to break the formation?"
"That's possible."
Regardless of whether it was belittling or praising, it couldn't affect Xue Yinling or Chu Mu.
The corner of Xue Yinling's mouth curled up slightly. She knew that Chu Mu's ability wasn't that bad.
The array on the seventh layer became more advanced, and it was harder to break. Chu Mu spent some time to find a way to break it, and then perfected it.
Not only was it harder to break it, but it was also harder to perfect it. After perfecting it twice, Chu Mu hurriedly broke the array and entered the eighth layer.
At this time, Zhou Cheng, who was at the top, had reached the thirteenth layer. The second, Li Shuqiu, had reached the twelfth layer. The third, Zhou Cheng, had reached the ninth layer. There were only two people who had reached the eighth layer, but now Chu Mu had reached it. There were ten people on the seventh layer, and the rest had all failed and left the Phaseless Sky Tower.
"The eighth layer."
"That's really unexpected."
Everyone exclaimed. Chu Mu's performance could be said to be full of stamina. They began to look forward to it.
"I wonder if this Chu Mu can reach the ninth layer."
"That might be possible."
"Yeah, if he can reach the ninth layer, he can become a disciple of the Phaseless Palace." As soon as this sentence was said, many people immediately revealed an envious look.
"Hmph, reaching the eighth layer doesn't mean that he can reach the ninth layer. Maybe he will be sent out later." Someone said coldly. His tone was sour. It was the person who had failed the tower and was sent out.
The array on the eighth layer was more advanced. Chu Mu had only perfected it twice, and the time was almost up. He had to break the array and enter the ninth layer.
After he entered the ninth layer, it immediately caused a commotion.
The ninth layer was the Phaseless Palace's recruitment criteria. In other words, even if Chu Mu couldn't pass the ninth layer, he could still enter the Phaseless Palace and become a disciple. Once he became a disciple of the Phaseless Palace, he could learn more advanced array dao.
Among the crowd, the experts of the Giant Elephant Family who were staring at Chu Mu revealed ugly expressions.
"This is bad."
"En, if this person reaches the ninth layer, he can enter the Phaseless Palace and become a disciple. At that time, he will receive the protection of the Phaseless Palace."
The Giant Elephant Family was indeed powerful, but they didn't dare to go against the Phaseless Palace.
"Act according to the circumstances. This person dared to kill our Giant Elephant Family's people. No matter what, we must eliminate him."
"Don't worry, even if he reaches the ninth layer and is recruited by the Phaseless Palace, he will only be an ordinary disciple and won't receive too much attention. We still have a chance."
Indeed, the majority of the people thought that reaching the ninth layer and entering the Phaseless Palace would allow them to achieve meteoric success. In fact, the ninth layer was only the lowest standard. If they entered the Phaseless Palace with the result of reaching the ninth layer, they would only become an ordinary disciple. Only if their performance was more outstanding would they receive more attention.
Otherwise, within the Phaseless Divine Palace, there were countless disciples. Who would pay attention to an ordinary disciple? Of course, to many people who were unable to enter the Phaseless Divine Palace normally, reaching the ninth floor of the Phaseless Sky Shrouding Pagoda was an extremely good thing.
Chu Mu reached the ninth layer, and the first place Zhou Cheng reached the fourteenth layer. Li Shuqiu reached the thirteenth layer. Looking at their momentum, it seemed like they could continue to reach higher levels.
The original third place couldn't reach the tenth layer after reaching the ninth layer. When the time was up, he was sent out of the Phaseless Sky Pagoda. However, since he reached the ninth layer, he was qualified to enter the Phaseless Palace.
As for the original eighth and seventh layer, they also failed and were sent out of the Phaseless Sky Pagoda. In the end, there were only three people left in the Phaseless Sky Pagoda.
The first place was Zhou Cheng, second place was Li Shuqiu, and third place was Chu Mu.
Zhou Cheng and Li Shuqiu could still continue to go up. This was within everyone's expectations. After all, as the Phaseless Palace's true disciples, they could at least reach the fifteenth layer or even higher.
What was completely unexpected was Chu Mu. His performance was terrible at the beginning, but he slowly rose up. Until now, he was still challenging the Phaseless Sky Pagoda with Zhou Cheng and Li Shuqiu.
"Could it be that he still wants to reach the tenth layer?" Someone muttered.
The difficulty of the tenth layer was higher than the ninth layer, and it was even more difficult. The treatment of entering the Phaseless Palace on the tenth layer was also different compared to entering the Phaseless Palace on the ninth layer.
On the ninth layer, Chu Mu perfected the array twice. After breaking the array, his figure flashed and entered the tenth layer.
