Chapter 50: Reaching the Top

The scenery on the second floor and the first floor of the Changming Lantern Pavilion is not much different, except that the main statue in the center has been replaced by an old fairy with a white head and a prominent beard, the others are no different from the first floor.

"Dare to ask Dao Chief, which one of my Daomen is this old immortal?" After the twelve pilgrims under the leadership of Ye Qingxuan paid homage to the statue, Sima Changqing naturally asked the first question.

"This is the Antarctic Immortal, the old immortal with the longevity of the master!" Ye Qingxuan made a joke, gave a brief introduction to everyone, and then made a gesture of please, and took the lead in walking towards the staircase on the third floor, but this time Ye Qingxuan did not go upstairs, but stood at the staircase waiting for everyone.

Everyone saw that Ye Qingxuan was waiting and followed quickly, and then under Ye Qingxuan's guidance, they all went upstairs, and unexpectedly a scene appeared, except for the eight pilgrims, including the Sima brothers, as soon as the remaining four people stepped on the stairs leading to the third floor, a soft blue light suddenly appeared.

This blue light emitted a soft light, blocking the front of these four people, no matter how hard these four pilgrims tried, they could not take a step forward, this is the scene seen by the eyes of others, but the senses of the four people in it are not like this.

As soon as these four pilgrims stepped on the stairs, they heard bursts of Taoist sounds in their ears, and then their minds couldn't help but recall everything related to Taoism in their lives.

After that, they retreated down the stairs leading to the three-story Lantern Pavilion with a blank face, and at this time, the four of them were blessed with a clear understanding that the reason why they could not go to the higher levels was because they were not devout enough to believe in Taoism in their hearts.

"This is really a divine artifact given by the Sanqing Heavenly Venerable!" The four pilgrims sighed in their hearts, and at the same time felt ashamed, and then made a mockery to Ye Qingxuan, and then no longer stepped forward, but went to the statue of the Antarctic Immortal to pay homage to it quietly.

"Sure enough, it's the same as the system says!" Ye Qingxuan saw that there was no good way to do this, so he could only go up to the third floor by himself.

The top of the third floor is just a statue of a god to be enshrined, and the rest of the nature has not changed, but this time the statue has been replaced by a god of fortune, and after an introduction to the tour, Ye Qingxuan led the remaining eight people to climb up again.

This time, three more people were blocked at the entrance of the stairs on the fourth floor, and this time everyone also discovered the wonder of this Changming Lantern Pavilion, and they were shocked in their hearts, and they admired the Daomen Sanqing Tianzun even more, and even Ye Qingxuan was also stained with light, and in their eyes, they were also regarded as half-immortal characters who could communicate with the gods.

On the fifth floor, on the sixth floor, everyone continued to ascend with Ye Qingxuan, but these pilgrims were just in contact with Taoism, even if they were shocked by miracles and had devotion in their hearts, Sima Changqing, who could reach the highest level among them, only stopped at the sixth layer.

At the staircase from the fifth floor to the sixth floor, Sima Changming was stopped and could not go further, so these pilgrims could only return to the pavilion to worship the god who was enshrined on the throne and was in charge of good fortune.

The sixth layer is dedicated to a god who is in charge of wealth and fortune, Ye Qingxuan looked at it, this god was obviously not the dragon and tiger Zhengyi Xuantan true monarch in his own cognition, but a god, after paying homage, he and Sima Changqing continued to climb to the top.

However, Sima Changqing was also powerless here and couldn't go further, so Sima Changqing threw an apologetic look at Ye Qingxuan, and step by step went down to the statue of the Immortal Emperor on the first floor, respectfully worshipping!

Ye Qingxuan shook his head, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, this Changming Lantern Pavilion was also his first time here, and he didn't know if he could successfully reach the top, if in full view of everyone, he, who could communicate with Sanqing Tianzun, was actually blocked out of the stairs, then his image would be ruined.

This is also what he thought of before he started to climb to the top, but it was too late and he could only go up with fear, fortunately, there was no such nonsensical thing, at this time, everyone was blocked, Ye Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he was also determined to wait for the top level to take a look.

"Thinking that I, the head of the Jade Void Sect, will definitely not be blocked at the top of the stairs!" Ye Qingxuan muttered, and as soon as he lifted the hem of his robe, he stepped on the stairs leading to the upper floor.

Ye Qingxuan's journey to the top was very smooth, along the way, he visited the seventh-layer Yue Lao, who was in charge of the marriage fortune, and the eighth-layer Wenqu Xingjun, who was in charge of the official fortune, and finally stepped on the ninth floor of the Changming Lantern Pavilion!

The first eight floors of the Changming Lantern Pavilion are no different except for the statues of the gods enshrined in the main seat and the size of the area, the general Changming Lantern Sea, the general doors and windows carved beams and paintings, but the ninth floor is completely different from the previous eight floors.

The ninth floor of the Changming Lantern Pavilion covers an area of only about 100 square meters, and it is more accurate to say that it is a large hall than a quiet room.

Ascending to the ninth floor, you will see a shrine platform, behind which an antique and Taoist ink treasure hangs.

"It's actually the word heaven and earth!" Ye Qingxuan, because he inherited the memory of the little Taoist priest Qingxuan, naturally he also knew the words of this world, and after a little thought, he understood why there were only the words heaven and earth in this ninth layer.

Taoism advocates heaven and earth, advocating the avenue, in the Taoist thought of cultivating the Tao is to cultivate the world, is to understand the world, to explore the world of a process, even the Sanqing Tianzun, they are also in myths and legends through the opening of the world, to understand the avenue, and even finally transcend the avenue.

Therefore, the highest level of this ever-bright lantern pavilion is only enshrined in the word heaven and earth, which is also a reminder to the Taoist monks who can come here, must not forget the original intention of cultivation, do not blindly pray for the protection of the gods, only to explore the mysteries of heaven and earth, to cultivate the truth can the road be complete, and it is better to pray to God than to seek yourself.

Ye Qingxuan sighed in his heart that this lantern pavilion was mysterious, and walked to the only apricot yellow futon on the top floor, and then sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes and concentrated.

After realizing the true meaning of the word heaven and earth, Ye Qingxuan was also angry and tried to be strong, and it was better to ask God than to seek himself.

The night passed quickly, and when the first rays of sunlight in the sky and earth spilled into the Lantern Pavilion, Ye Qingxuan slowly opened his eyes.

Ye Qingxuan's one-night practice made Ye Qingxuan gain deeply, and at the same time, he was also very surprised in his heart, carefully comprehending the total amount of true qi in his body, Ye Qingxuan suddenly found that one night of cultivation on the top floor of this Everbright Lantern Pavilion was actually worth three times the time he spent cultivating elsewhere!

"Could it be that this Everbright Lantern Pavilion has other miraculous features besides what it says in the manual that it can keep believers safe?" Ye Qingxuan didn't know why, and his heart was shocked!
