"Yes! I will go bring him immediately."
The Inner Sect disciple responded and quickly left.
Sect Master Ning's expression became unsettled, unclear in mood.
The other elders noticed but dared not ask despite their curiosity.
After a long while, a figure was brought up to the viewing platform by the disciple.
Many disciples noticed this scene.
They wondered who this young man was, so young yet qualified to be invited to the platform?
"Royal Profound Realm Perfection? Oh... that's a relief."
Sect Master Ning's heart eased the moment he saw the newcomer.
"Young friend, are you here to deliver the message for Elder Yun?"
Sect Master Ning spoke kindly.
His tone and attitude made the other elders beside him frown in surprise.
Why was the sect master so courteous to an outsider?
It puzzled them.
"Yes, Sect Master Ning."
Jiang Feng politely replied.
Then he handed over the IOU slip and Sound Transmission Talisman given by Elder Yun.
The IOU was just an ordinary sheet of paper with nothing written on it.
But Jiang Feng knew some secret arts must have been cast on it.
Only with the proper counter-technique could its contents be revealed.
When Sect Master Ning saw the paper, he trembled slightly.
"This… this… it has come at last!"
Taking the IOU and talisman, Sect Master Ning immediately checked the secret contents within.
Of course, others couldn't hear or see anything.
The next moment, everyone noticed something astonishing.
Sect Master Ning's face first furrowed in distress, then turned to disbelief and extreme anger, and finally…
"Damn it!"
"This is outrageous! That old man Yun really thinks our Flowing Breeze Sect has no one? Does he fear Demon Sky Sword Sect?"
Sect Master Ning glared sharply at Jiang Feng, his aura suddenly heavy.
Jiang Feng was baffled: "What's going on?"
He was indeed surprised.
Could someone tell him what had happened?
Sect Master Ning had just been courteous.
How did he suddenly glare at him as if Jiang Feng had stolen his precious daughter?
What did Elder Yun write?
"Old man Yun's letter says you want to obtain our Flowing Breeze Sect's 'Step on Clouds and Chase the Sun', right?"
Sect Master Ning said expressionlessly.
Step on Clouds and Chase the Sun?
What was that?
Jiang Feng was puzzled.
Before he could ask, the astonished shouts from others gave him the answer.
"What?? This guy wants our sect's 'Step on Clouds and Chase the Sun'? He must be dreaming!"
"'Step on Clouds and Chase the Sun' is a Xuanzhong Tower middle-Tier secret technique, the treasure of our Flowing Breeze Sect…"
"Forget borrowing it, even looking at it is impossible!"
"How ridiculous! To practice this secret, you must be the sect master's heir or a high elder with great contributions. Outsiders don't even get to think about it!"
The elders were furious; the atmosphere tense and hostile!
Jiang Feng caught an important point amidst the uproar, a fiery gleam flashing in his eyes.
Step on Clouds and Chase the Sun, a Xuanzhong Tower middle-Tier secret technique?
To be called a secret technique meant it was a level above ordinary body movement techniques.
This must be extraordinary.
"Right!"
Despite the strange looks around him, Jiang Feng boldly accepted this fact.
To obtain such a Xuanzhong Tower middle-Tier secret technique, he must be thick-skinned.
Though he didn't know what debt Flowing Breeze Sect's sect master owed Elder Yun, debts must be repaid.
The IOU was here; Jiang Feng wasn't about to renege.
"You've got some guts, kid."
Sect Master Ning gritted his teeth, staring at Jiang Feng.
"Jiang Feng, right? Have you seen that towering tower?"
Sect Master Ning pointed to the Xuanzhong Tower not far away.
"Yes, I have."
Jiang Feng replied.
"Try to challenge the tower. If you can surpass all our Flowing Breeze Sect disciples, then we can discuss this secret technique."
"Otherwise, I can only tell Elder Yun that we are powerless."
Sect Master Ning spoke plainly.
Hearing this, Jiang Feng's eyes focused on the Xuanzhong Tower.
Watching the Flowing Breeze Sect disciples struggle to climb it, he guessed there must be huge resistance on the tower.
To obtain the secret technique, he must pass the sect master's test?
Quite troublesome…
"Alright, Sect Master Ning, may I start now?"
Jiang Feng didn't hesitate.
Isn't it just climbing a tower?
He believed his body and cultivation were no weaker than those of others.
Sect Master Ning nodded slightly.
Jiang Feng then turned and walked toward the Xuanzhong Tower.
"Sect Master, Step on Clouds and Chase the Sun is our sect's treasure. It must not be given to outsiders."
"Yes, Sect Master, who is this person? Why give him a chance?"
After Jiang Feng left the platform, the elders hurriedly advised.
"Calm down, this is basically a rejection..."
"Think about it: a kid not even at Divine Sea Realm, how many floors can he climb?"
"What puzzles me is why this guy's appetite is so huge. Sect Master, aren't you angry?"
"If he truly succeeds, will you really give him 'Step on Clouds and Chase the Sun'?"
Faced with the elders' shock and confusion, Sect Master Ning was helpless but seemed to have some hidden reason.
"You don't need to worry. I have my own plans."
He smiled bitterly, then sighed deeply.
"Sect Master, please reconsider!"
"Sect Master, you can't do this!"
"Sect Master, please think carefully."
Sect Master Ning gave the elders a look, somewhat speechless:
"Are you all senile? It's not like I've already given the secret technique away."
"The challenge I set is impossible for that kid to complete!"
Reminded by the sect master, the elders suddenly realized.
Right!
Everything depended on how this kid performed on the Xuanzhong Tower.
A mere Royal Profound Realm cultivator could probably only reach four or five floors.
These old fellows were anxious because they cared.
Meanwhile, Jiang Feng had already reached the bottom of the Xuanzhong Tower.
The disciples nearby seemed to have received orders from the elders.
No one tried to stop Jiang Feng, only curious eyes followed.
An outsider joining the Flowing Breeze Sect's Xuanzhong Tower challenge — this was a first.
Especially one with only Royal Profound Realm Perfection cultivation.
Was it necessary for such a person to participate?
Under countless gazes, Jiang Feng ascended the first floor of the Xuanzhong Tower.
Boom...!
The instant his foot landed, he felt immense force pressing down on him.
And this was no ordinary suppression.
It targeted every part of his body — every bone, vein, and flesh — throughout his limbs and frame!
"This is Xuanzhong Tower?"
Jiang Feng realized.
"Interesting!"
The higher he went, the greater the pressure.
Thinking this, his eyes brightened!
He knew such pressure was highly beneficial for training body movement!
"Could there be something valuable atop the tower...?"
