Behind the gigantic sculpture, there was a row of wooden bookshelves. It was unknown what species of wood these were. They had not decayed despite the passage of time. Instead, they gave off a heavy, ancient aura and a metallic texture.
On the bookshelves, there were rows of dusty jade scrolls.
Upon seeing these jade scrolls, people were startled. The jade scrolls in the mystic realm could easily make people think of cultivation technique manuals.
If it was a cultivation technique manual left behind by the ancient Great Empress, its value was obvious.
However, although people coveted it, they did not dare to rashly go forward to take it. They were worried that there would be restrictions. However, nothing changed when people came in front of the bookshelves.
Some people mustered their courage and picked up a jade scroll. They carefully sank their consciousness into it, but … the content they saw made them disappointed.
The words in the jade scrolls were collections of history. They were historical records and had nothing to do with martial arts heritage.
As time had passed, many of the words in the jade scrolls could not be fully understood. Even so, people could still roughly guess some things from a few words.
"Was it like this in ancient times …?"
As Yi Yun was engrossed in reading, the Great Empress mystic realm's cold voice resounded once again, "Now, the cultivation shall begin!"
Just as the voice faded, the bookshelves in front of them slowly separated. A strong beam of light shone in. People squinted their eyes slightly. In front of them, there was an isolated space that had been sealed for a long time. In this space, there was a long stone staircase that led straight up into the sky.
This stone staircase was winding like a long snake. At the end of the stone staircase, there was a door the size of a palm. The light came from this door.
Many cultivators looked at each other. They were curious about what was behind the door at the end of the stone staircase.
"There is more than one door of light. There is a door even higher up!"
It was unknown who said this. Everyone looked over, and sure enough, they saw that the continuous flight of stairs extended to an even higher place. There, there was also a glowing door.
As this door was too high up, it looked like it was only the size of a fingernail.
And this door was not the end. The cultivators present had extremely good eyesight. They could see that there was a door even higher up. That door was already the size of a needle's eye.
This staircase was like a divine bridge that led to the Heavenly Court. It seemed to have no end, and at every specific location, there was a shining door.
Some of the trial takers couldn't help but cautiously walk up the stairs.
These stone stairs were basically rectangular stones floating in the air without any support. People could even feel the stone stairs shaking as they walked on them.
The stone staircase was very long, but when a portion of the trial-takers reached a certain height, they felt a resistance.
This power made it difficult for them to advance.
Hmm? What was going on?
Everyone was shocked. Could this be another test? Could it be that only by resisting this obstruction could they advance?
However, only a portion of people, such as Yi Yun, Lin Xintong, Shen Tu Nantian and company, were able to proceed smoothly.
Many people were confused.
At this moment, the Great Empress mystic realm's cold voice echoed, "The God Advent Tower has a total of six levels! The higher the level, the more cultivation opportunities you can obtain! "
"To enter the God Advent Tower, or to enter the higher floors, one needs to obtain the recognition of the God Advent Tower!"
"This recognition comes from the results of your cultivation. Or perhaps, it comes from the rating you obtained in the mental demons trial! "
"Cultivators who obtain the rating of 'Knight' can directly enter the first level of the God Advent Tower!"
"Cultivators who obtain the rating of 'Grandmaster' can enter the second level."
"Cultivators who obtain the rating of 'Soul' can enter the third level."
"And so on and so forth!"
When people heard this, they were somewhat dumbfounded. This …
They looked at each other, especially those cultivators who "failed to meet the mark". They did not know what to say.
Although they had passed the mental demons trial, they could not even enter the door!?
"The God Advent Tower has a total of six levels. The Great Empress mystic realm also gives out six titles. 'Investiture God' corresponds to the highest level!"
Yi Yun muttered to himself as he looked at the highest point of the staircase. However, no matter how good Yi Yun's eyesight was, it turned blurry for some unknown reason after the third level.
"People with the title of 'Investiture God' can enter the highest level of the God Advent Tower. However, those who obtain the recognition of the God Advent Tower and enter the highest level of the God Advent Tower might not have the strength of 'Investiture God'."
Beside Yi Yun, Lin Xintong said with a Yuan Qi voice transmission.
Yi Yun nodded. He suspected that people with the title of "Investiture God" could directly inherit all the heritage and treasures of the Great Empress. That was an existence that exceeded their imaginations. There was no need for any subsequent trials or assessments, nor was there a need for them to obtain the recognition of the God Advent Tower.
Since the God Advent Tower had set up an assessment, as long as they passed it, they could enter the next level. Then, Yi Yun believed that he and Lin Xintong could enter a higher level through cultivation.
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from behind them. Their path out of the tower had been sealed. For the path to open again, they would probably have to wait until the end of the cultivation.
They could not be sure when that would be.
However, since this trial was an assessment of cultivation, it would take at least a few months. If not, how could the effects of cultivation be tested?
It might even take longer …
Immediately, many cultivators who had been evaluated as "failed to meet the mark" began to panic. If they could not exit, they would not be able to enter the first level of the God Advent Tower. Were they going to wait foolishly in this sealed space for such a long period of time?
"Look, there are paintings on the stairs!"
It was unknown who suddenly said this. People looked down and in the dim light, they saw that there were indeed stone murals at regular intervals on the stairs.
These murals did not seem eye-catching at first glance, but once they noticed them, they found it hard to move their eyes away.
More and more people came in front of the murals and stared at them seriously.
The murals on the walls were all people with all sorts of movements.
"Are these … cultivation diagrams?"
A youth said after staring at the murals for a while.
The figures on the murals were not clearly depicted. They looked different, with some being male and some being female.
"Could these people be the disciples of the Great Empress?"
Someone suddenly said. Back then, the ancient Great Empress seemed to have established a large sect. As for what happened to the sect in the end, there were no clear records.
