"No one has been able to go to the ninth floor?" Hayashikawa frowned. "Then how do you know that there is a ninth floor in the Floating Soul Shrine?"
"According to the legends left behind in ancient times, there is a ninth floor here. However, up until now, we have not found the passageway to the ninth floor. Some people have speculated that the Floating Soul Region in the outside world is the first floor, so the eighth floor that we are talking about is actually the ninth floor. However, this theory has not been widely accepted. Many people still insist that there is a ninth floor in the Floating Soul Shrine, but it has not been discovered yet!" Ni Huanzhi explained.
"Then I would like to find the passageway to the ninth floor!" Hayashikawa said after a moment of silence.
"Do as you wish. After all, you are not the only one with this idea!" Ni Huanzhi said with a smile.
Hayashikawa nodded. The reason why he wanted to find the passageway to the ninth floor was not because of the legends, but because the information that the Dayin Tower had given him had indeed pointed out that there was a ninth floor in the Floating Soul Shrine!
Another, more important reason was because of Hayashikawa's perception of this place. Although the Nature Attribute Chakra was much stronger on the eighth floor, he still could not find the source. However, he could vaguely feel that the enormous Chakra came from underground, which meant that it was very likely to be the legendary ninth floor!
"Let's go to the center of the shrine!" Ni Huanzhi said softly. Then, he led Hayashikawa and Tangerine and flew straight to the huge palaces in the distance.
Along the way, Hayashikawa discovered that there were many Specter Beasts on the eighth floor. Most of them were Bloodthirsty Specter Beasts, and they were very powerful. Hayashikawa even saw a terrifying Level Nine Bloodthirsty Specter Beast, whose strength was comparable to a Void Refining Stage cultivator. There were also many blue-eyed spiritual-type Specter Beasts. These Specter Beasts roamed outside the palace, eyeing Hayashikawa and Ni Huanzhi as they flew into the palace.
"The Specter Beasts here are very scary. Although they do not dare to enter the palace now, when we open the Enlightenment Ground in the center of the palace, all the Specter Beasts will become a terrifying flood and flood into the palace to wreak havoc. Apart from the Enlightenment Ground, there is nowhere to hide!" Ni Huanzhi said as he looked at the countless Specter Beasts in the distance.
"The Enlightenment Ground has not opened yet. It seems that the number of people there has not reached the requirement!" Hayashikawa nodded.
From the information that Dayin Tower had given to Hayashikawa, the Enlightenment Ground in the center of the palace had a requirement to open. It could only be opened when the total cultivation of the cultivators who entered reached a certain level. Once it was opened, all the Specter Beasts on the eighth floor of the Floating Spirits Palace would go berserk. At that time, only the Enlightenment Ground would be safe, and the other places could be attacked by the Specter Beasts!
The Enlightenment Ground was not very big. There were seven stone pillars, and each pillar could allow a cultivator to comprehend the Dao. Within a radius of a hundred meters around the stone pillars, there would be a circle of light. The people in this circle could be protected from the attacks of the Specter Beasts. They could also comprehend the Dao, but the effect was much worse than the top of the stone pillars.
Therefore, every time the Enlightenment Ground opened, there would be a bloody battle. Only the strongest seven people were qualified to sit on the stone pillars and cultivate.
Now, the Enlightenment Ground had not opened yet, which meant that the seven stone pillars were not all occupied.
Hayashikawa and Liu Daobao were very fast. This kind of thing could not be delayed. The sooner they arrived at the center of the palace, the sooner they could occupy the advantageous terrain. This would have a great impact on the competition later on.
Soon, the huge palace square appeared in front of the two of them. The seven hundred-meter-tall stone pillars around the square were very eye-catching. They shone with a misty golden light, as bright and dazzling as the sun!
The seven stone pillars were not arranged randomly. They were arranged according to the position of the Big Dipper Constellation Palace. Hayashikawa could easily distinguish the Big Dipper Constellation Palace represented by each stone pillar at a glance!
"Dubhe, Megrez, Phecda, Merak, Alioth, Alkaid, Alkaid, Mizar!"
Soon, Hayashikawa's gaze fixed on the stone pillar that represented the Mizar Constellation Palace. This was because there was already a figure sitting cross-legged on the stone pillar. It was Childe Remains!
"Brother Blue Dragon, I didn't think that the second person to arrive here would be you. You are indeed very strong!"
Hayashikawa saw Childe Remains. Childe Remains naturally also noticed Hayashikawa, so he took the initiative to speak first.
"To be able to be the first to arrive here, you are indeed worthy of being the number one person among the younger generation of the Floating Spirit Region!" Hayashikawa said softly.
"Likewise. I only have a place in this small Floating Spirit Region. Unlike Brother Blue Dragon, who has already established an unparalleled reputation in the Southern Ming Continent. I am truly in awe!" Childe Remains said with a sincere expression.
Ni Huanzhi was speechless as he watched the two of them flattering each other. He rolled his eyes, turned around, and flew straight to the stone pillar that represented the Alkaid Constellation Palace. He directly sat on the top of the stone pillar and occupied this place.
Seeing Ni Huanzhi's actions, Childe Remains was slightly surprised. He originally thought that Ni Huanzhi would choose to follow Blue Dragon and comprehend under the stone pillar that the Blue Dragon was on. He didn't expect that she would directly occupy a stone pillar for herself!
To be honest, with Ni Huanzhi's cultivation at the middle Nascent Soul stage, if it weren't for the Blue Dragon escorting him all the way, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to come here, let alone be the second to arrive.
However, Childe Remains didn't say anything. After all, he had already occupied the stone pillar of the Kaiyang Constellation Palace. He was too lazy to care about anything else. When the others arrived, they would naturally teach this ignorant Ni Huanzhi a lesson.
Hayashikawa saw Ni Huanzhi choose the stone pillar of the Alkaid Constellation Palace and didn't stop him. This was because he knew that Ni Huanzhi was no longer the innocent girl at the middle Nascent Soul stage!
After looking at the other stone pillars, Hayashikawa didn't hesitate and went straight to the stone pillar of the Dubhe Constellation Palace. He passed through the layer of golden light and sat cross-legged at the top of the stone pillar!
At this point, three of the seven pillars of the Big Dipper had already been occupied. There were only four stone pillars left. The number of heaven's prides in the entire Floating Spirit Region was far more than these four pillars could satisfy. One could imagine how intense the competition would be next.
The third person to arrive was somewhat unexpected. It wasn't the Three Heroes Of Nakagawa, nor was it Fu Lingzi. It was Jing Jie, the rogue cultivator with the highest cultivation at the middle Nascent Soul stage!
Seeing this person, Hayashikawa immediately recalled the scene of this person holding a simple oil lamp and entering the sixth floor of the Floating Spirit Palace before him!
'This person isn't simple!' Hayashikawa thought to himself.
When Jing Jie arrived and saw the three people sitting at the top of the stone pillar, he seemed very surprised. He didn't expect that someone would arrive here before him!
However, he didn't say anything, he just took a special look at Ni Huanzhi, chose the stone pillar of the Merak Constellation Palace, and sat cross-legged on it.
