"
He figured Master
And when Chu Feng asked this question, he noticed that
Master Tang Chen was also affected to some degree.
This told Chu Feng that the banner was very likely connected to that Lü Jie.
"That was left by Lü Jie, a disciple of the Sage of Enlightenment," Master Tang Chen answered.
Just as Chu Feng had expected — it was indeed the handiwork of the Sage of Enlightenment's disciple.
"Inside the Ruyi Castle, apart from the Ruyi Mirror, there is another marvelous device — the Talent Staircase."
"The Talent Staircase has three tiers. Only those with extraordinary talent in the art of Spirit Formation can ascend it."
"And if you can stand on that staircase for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, it proves you are sufficiently outstanding."
"Lü Jie is, to this day, the only person who has successfully stood upon that staircase."
"He stood on the first tier and held his ground for the duration of an incense stick."
"Every time the Ruyi Castle opens, three banners rise into the air."
"In the past, those three banners were all blank. No one gave any thought to their purpose — they assumed they were merely decorative."
"But after Lü Jie successfully stood on the first tier of the Talent Staircase, his name appeared on the first banner."
"And it was from that day onward that Lü Jie came to be regarded as the most promising junior in the entire Sacred Light
"Because his talent was unparalleled."
Master Tang Chen said.
"So this Lü Jie does have some ability."
Lü Jie had accomplished something that no one else could.
Chu Feng understood that this was an immense honor.
And so, at that moment, a thought took root in his heart.
He, too, wanted to leave his name on the banner of the Ruyi Castle.
It would be as if a relic from ancient times had been conquered by him.
For him, if he could achieve it, wouldn't that also be a form of glory?
"How do we get inside?"
Yu Ting was a quiet, reserved girl. Aside from her conversations with Chu Feng, she essentially never initiated speech of her own.
This was the first time she had voluntarily spoken up in all the days they had been together.
So when she broke her silence, even Master Tang Chen and Yuan Shu were somewhat surprised.
Especially when they looked at Yu Ting and saw the look in her eyes — they were even more taken aback.
They didn't know much about Yu Ting, nor had they ever thought to learn more about her. All they knew was that she was Chu Feng's friend.
But now they suddenly realized that this quiet, unassuming girl was no ordinary young woman.
The fighting spirit burning in her eyes was filled with ambition.
"Little lady, don't tell me you also want to leave your name on that banner?" Master Tang Chen asked with a smile.
His words carried a hint of jest.
Surprised as he was, he didn't hold particularly high expectations for Yu Ting.
"I just want to test how far my talent can reach," Yu Ting said.
"Young lady, getting in is easy. That barrier gate will open shortly."
"However, whether you can successfully enter will depend on passing a few trials."
"As long as you pass the trials, you can enter the Ruyi Castle."
"But even if you don't pass, you won't suffer any harm."
Yuan Shu explained.
After speaking, he turned to Chu Feng: "Brother Chu Feng, since there's still some time before the Ancient Spirit Domain opens, why don't we go in together and take a look?"
"Chu Feng, go check it out. Meeting that old rascal Ruyi won't be easy," Master Tang Chen added.
Although they were surprised that Yu Ting wanted to enter the Ruyi Castle, the one they had their hopes pinned on was Chu Feng.
