"Sixty years ago, Bai Yu Sword Immortal hadn't even reached the level of a Quasi-Earth Immortal; he was only in the Divine Realm of Profound Travel."
"But that sword strike was infused with the peak of his energy and spirit, comparable to a strike during his peak of spiritual enlightenment."
"So in Tianqi City, no one dares to confront him head-on."
"But what you said makes some sense."
"Even a sword strike from a terrestrial sword immortal will gradually lose its sword intent over time, and it is difficult to maintain it for decades."
"The reason why Bai Yu Sword Immortal's sword intent was able to remain is not only because his sword energy itself has some tricks, but mainly because of the number one restaurant in the world."
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's how it is!"
Then everyone remembered the last sentence Su Chen had mentioned earlier.
The plaque that was cleaved in two by the White Feather Sword Immortal was taken into the Number One Restaurant Under Heaven.
It turns out that the strangeness of the Number One Pavilion under Heaven is what caused this sword energy to linger for sixty years.
Now everyone was even more curious. What was so special about this No. 1 Pavilion under Heaven that allowed sword energy to be preserved for so long? And what was the point of doing that?
In the fifth private room on the thirteenth floor, a middle-aged man who looked rather domineering stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"The head of the Wen family, Wen Hujiu, greets the Celestial Mystery Immortal."
“My Wen family is not one of those big-spending merchants or all-knowing businesses; we don’t have the financial resources to spend millions of taels of silver at every turn.”
"I am willing to offer one hundred packets of the thousand-poison powder that I developed myself, plus three hundred thousand taels of silver as a reward."
"Please, Celestial Immortal, tell me the secret of the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention turned to the warm pot of wine.
The people from Beili, in particular, all looked surprised, and even a little awe.
Chapter 37 The Immortal
The Wen family! They are a powerful family in the martial arts world, no less so than the Tang Clan and the Lei family.
In particular, Wen Hujiu, the head of the Wen family, is a very famous figure in the martial arts world, having once ranked fourth on the list of the most outstanding figures.
What makes him most feared is his skill with poisons.
His mastery of poisons is widely recognized as the most brilliant in the Wen family in three hundred years.
In the martial arts world, he was known as the "Poison Swordsman" and the "Poison Bodhisattva".
He was deceived back then, and almost harmed the entire city. Fortunately, the Medicine King Xin Baicao arrived in time and saved the people of the city.
No one was surprised by the question raised by Wenhujiu.
Every Beili resident is filled with curiosity about the number one building under heaven.
This building has existed since the founding of the Beili Dynasty, but it has always been closed.
Everyone knows that Tianqi City is the most heavily defended city in Beili, and the World's Number One Building is the most heavily defended place in Tianqi City.
Its defenses were even tighter than those of the royal palace.
This makes people even more curious about what's inside.
As everyone pondered, they turned their attention back to Bai Yutai, waiting for Su Chen to reveal the answer.
On the white jade platform, Su Chen's eyes lit up as soon as he saw someone coming to do business, and he carefully examined the warm wine pot.
A moment later, the system notification sounded precisely on time:
"The fortune telling for the warm wine pot was successful."
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the special physique [Immunity to All Poisons]."
A constitution that is immune to all poisons?
Su Chen nodded in satisfaction. Enhancing his resistance to poison was always a good thing, so he said loudly:
"This number one building under heaven was built by Emperor Xiao Yi of the Beili Kingdom."
"At that time, Xiao Yi had gathered a number of extraordinary people around him, many of whom were experts in formations."
"That's why the underground and surrounding areas of the World's Number One Building are covered with mysterious array patterns, which gives it this magical function."
"Although it may not be the best in the world, it truly deserves the title of the best in the Beili Dynasty. No other building can compare to it."
"Everyone knows that there is a Heavenly Pavilion in Snowmoon City."
"But few people know that the Dengtian Pavilion was actually built in imitation of the Tianqi City's No. 1 Building in the World."
"This world's number one building, which has existed since the founding of the Beili Dynasty, is an extremely important treasure even in Tianqi City."
"As for the significance of the existence of the Number One Building Under Heaven, it is actually a place of trial."
"The first level is about one person's sword, which asks all the swords in the world."
"After entering the first floor, you can see the sword intent plaque left by the White Feather Sword Immortal back then."
"Only those with exceptionally strong mental power can comprehend the profound principles of heaven and earth contained within this sword intent."
"If you comprehend it, you can directly enter the Sword Immortal realm and gain the qualification to enter the second level."
"If you don't understand it, you can only stay on the first level."
"Compared to the first level, the second level is much more mysterious."
"Once you reach the second level, you will be immediately pulled into an illusion array, completely isolated from the outside world."
"In this illusion array, there is only one painting, depicting a Taoist priest in a purple robe with a half-smile."
"Next to the painting is a couplet: One begets two, two begets three, three begets all things. Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows Nature. Above it are four characters: Supreme Non-Action."
"The old Taoist priest in the painting is none other than Li Fenglian, the first master of the Beili Imperial Observatory and the Grand Master."
"He was also the first and last Grand Master since Bei left the country. Back then, he set up the Heavenly Gate Chain Formation and defeated 300,000 elite troops of Western Chu, which made him famous."
"Many of the formations in the World's Number One Building were designed by him."
"And this test is the trial of inner demons."
"The incense burned in front of the portrait of the ancestral master of the Imperial Observatory is called the Shadow-Bewitching Incense, and the array set up in the room is the Heart-Returning Array."
"Using this incense in conjunction with this formation, even the strongest mind will be affected by hallucinations."
“Once the mind wavers, inner demons will appear.”
"At this point, the trial participants will see the obstacles in their hearts that they cannot forget."
"If you can overcome these obstacles, it shows that you have a strong will and you will have a chance to enter the third level."
"If we can't beat them, we'll have to stay on the second floor."
"As for the situation on the third level, it is related to the next expert on the list of top experts, so let's not talk about it for now."
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, a chorus of exclamations erupted in the hall.
The most mysterious restaurant in Beili, the Number One Restaurant Under Heaven, has finally revealed its true face.
And the secret behind it truly did not disappoint.
The first layer is the sword intent left behind by the White Feather Sword Immortal, and the second layer is actually guarded by the ancestral master of the Imperial Observatory.
One man's sword, a sword that can challenge all under heaven!
Conquer your inner demons and strengthen your resolve!
These two challenges alone are enough for everyone to imagine how difficult they are.
This made them even more curious: what benefits would they receive if they passed all such difficult trials?
Immediately, discussion broke out in the hall again:
"So this is what the No. 1 Restaurant under heaven looks like inside. I thought it was filled with gold and silver treasures."
"The first floor is the sword aura of the White Feather Sword Immortal that has not dissipated for sixty years, and the second floor houses the portrait of the ancestor of the Imperial Observatory. This number one building in the world truly lives up to its name."
"Indeed, just based on the mystery surrounding the No. 1 Building under Heaven, it deserves the title of 'No. 1 under Heaven'."
"Even the ancestor of the Imperial Observatory only guarded the second level, so how powerful must the person in charge of the third level be?"
"The Celestial Immortal mentioned that the secret of the third floor of the Number One Pavilion in the World is related to a master on the Unrivaled Ranking. Could it be that there is a living person hiding in the third floor?"
In the sixth small room on the west side of the fifteenth floor
Lei Wujie scratched his head, looking puzzled, and said, "What's so interesting about a single sword aura? What can you possibly learn from it?"
"The sword energy left behind by the White Feather Sword Immortal back then was no ordinary sword."
"I heard it's not just a sword aura, but also a word, or more precisely, four characters."
"Only when one's spiritual power has been cultivated to a certain level and one has matched the code with this sword energy can one sense those four words," Ji Ruofeng said unhurriedly.
Xiao Se asked curiously, "Which four characters?"
Ji Ruofeng laughed and said, "If I told you directly, would it still be called a trial? If you want to know, go and take a look at the Number One Restaurant in the World yourself."
The group of teenagers looked at each other, then laughed, their eyes gleaming with a desire to try their skills.
The murmurs in the main hall of Dengtian Pavilion gradually subsided.
Everyone's eyes were unconsciously drawn to Bai Yutai.
They hadn't forgotten what Su Chen had said.
The secret of the third floor of the World's Number One Building is related to the next master on the Unrivaled List.
This made everyone even more curious.
Previously, Baili Dongjun was ranked second in the Baixiaotang rankings, but now he has fallen to third place, and is no longer even the top-ranked third-place finisher.
Bai Yu Sword Immortal ranks fourth on the list of top masters, and his cultivation is almost at the ceiling of the Earth Immortal realm.
This means that the people ahead of him were all at the level of terrestrial deities.
Besides Li Changsheng and Mo Yi, does Bei Li have a third living terrestrial immortal?
Moreover, this terrestrial immortal is also related to the third floor of the world's number one building.
Just thinking about such news is incredibly exciting.
