Chapter 742: Climbing High

Inside the Heaven-Gazing Tower—

"Quite interesting."

Li Rui walked very easily on the stairs leading to the second floor with his hands behind his back.

A strange purple light flashed and vanished around his body.

With almost no pause, he was much more relaxed than the others on the first floor.

Looking at the first floor again—

Many cultivators had dejected expressions on their faces.

There were even some who were at the Soul Division realm.

This indicated that climbing the Heaven-Gazing Tower was not as easy as imagined.

That's right.

The Heaven-Gazing Tower does not just look at combat power, but is a multi-dimensional test.

Simply put, it can be understood as talent, and the realization of that talent.

The Heaven-Machine Dao Lord set up the Heaven-Gazing Tower precisely to select juniors with potential.

Talent is naturally a crucial point.

The Heaven-Machine Dao Lord naturally looks down on those old monsters who have dragged themselves to the Soul Division realm through age.

But besides that, realizing one's talent is also an extremely important link.

Specifically—

It is the combat power at the same age.

Otherwise, like that "Primordial Dao Fetus" of the Ji family, the talent is high, but the temperament is not good, unable to realize the talent; such a person is also difficult to use and cannot walk to high places.

That purple light just now was actually drawing the cultivator's soul into a special space, where there was a demon beast soul used to test strength.

Only by killing the demon beast soul can one climb to the next floor.

Heaven-Human corresponds to Heaven-Human.

Soul Division corresponds to Soul Division.

Extremely fair.

Of course—

Although the realm is balanced, those with higher realms naturally have more advantages.

Let's just say one thing—

Historically, not a single person who climbed to the ninth floor was at the Heaven-Human realm; they were all at the Soul Division realm.

Arriving at the second floor—

The number of people suddenly decreased by more than half.

There were only a hundred or so people.

Li Rui was not in the first batch to enter the Heaven-Gazing Tower, and was even on the later side, so when he arrived at the second floor, those genius figures had already gone to higher places.

Looking at those cultivators who were sitting cross-legged and breathing, putting all their effort into impacting the next realm—

He did not stop.

"I wonder if anyone can climb to the ninth floor this time."

Cui He said with a grin.

He had been following behind Li Rui and had also climbed to the second floor very easily.

As a genius of the Cui family, he naturally would not stop at the first three floors.

Li Rui did not answer.

He just kept climbing.

Third floor.

Fourth floor.

Fifth floor.

In the blink of an eye, Li Rui and Cui He climbed to the fifth floor.

Seeing someone come up, the cultivators on the fifth floor all cast their gazes on Li Rui and Cui He.

"Who is this?"

Those who can climb to the fifth floor are all absolute genius-level figures.

How could there be any unknown people?

"Should be someone from the Cui family."

A young cultivator said indifferently.

Although they did not recognize Li Rui after his disguise, they knew Cui He.

Seeing Li Rui traveling with Cui He, they naturally made this guess.

The cultivators on the fifth floor quickly withdrew their gazes.

The Cui family is a great clan of the Central Continent.

Their strength is unfathomable.

It is not surprising that a genius who can climb to the fifth floor comes out; it would only be surprising if someone from a small, unknown sect climbed to the fifth floor.

"That's about it."

Cui He stretched.

He did not walk toward the stairs leading to the sixth floor.

He not only had the memories of Huang Longzi but also the memories of Huang Long Dao Lord.

So he knew the situation of the Heaven-Gazing Tower very well.

With his current Heaven-Human realm cultivation, reaching the fifth floor was his limit, and there was almost no possibility of going further.

Cui He had self-knowledge.

He found a spacious place and sat on the ground.

"Brother, I can't accompany you anymore."

Li Rui nodded: "Good." ===== CHAPTER 743 =====
