The Heavenly Command Sect's area was more than four thousand lis. The distance from the testing courtyard to the Moon Gazing Tower was about two hundred lis. In addition to the main buildings of the sect located in the center of the entire area, there were also living areas of large clans and large forces under the Heavenly Command Sect. Besides, there were areas where ordinary villagers had asked to live here as well. And within the sect's area, there were countless high and low mountains.

The Moon Gazing Tower that Zheng-Fu was going to was also located on a high mountain peak. This peak, also called Moon Gazing Peak, was the most famous peak of the sect. And it was on the mountain that had the highest Heaven Energy among all the mountains that existed.

Flap!!! Flap!!! Flap!!!

Swish!!!

Thump!!!

The white crane finally landed in a courtyard in front of the seven-story tower manor on the top of a mountain, which was so high that it pierced the clouds. But up here, there was no strong wind blowing, unlike down below before they broke through the clouds to get up here. This place was calm and cool, similar to sunbathing in the soft sea breeze.

"I can only send you here! From here, you must walk into the Moon Gazing Tower in front of you! Whether you can enter or not is up to you. Good luck!" the middle-aged man said after taking Zheng-Fu to land on the hilltop courtyard. He could not have stepped onto this hilltop without permission. The middle-aged man could only drop Zheng-Fu down there before he ordered his white crane to fly out.

"Thank you, Elder Min-Hou!" Zheng-Fu clasped his hands at his chest, thanking the middle-aged man for introducing him and letting him know what he had to do next.

"Looks like this is a test! Good! Since it's a test, then I'll pass your test for you to see!" Zheng-Fu assumed that this was one of his tests. If not, then Elder Min-Hou would have brought him inside, not let him down here, and left.

The actions and things that Zheng-Fu said and did were all within the eyes of the five elders within this seven-story manor. And Zheng-Fu's ability to guess that this was a test made the five elders grin broadly in satisfaction.

At the seven-story tower...

"This child is not only highly talented, but he's also very intelligent. Just as he looked and listened to Elder Min-Hou's words, he understood that this is a test!" the white-bearded elder who had gone out to see Zheng-Fu's previous test spoke up and smiled.

"Now it's just about whether he'll be able to come up to us on the seventh floor or not. But with his energy level right now, just opening the manor door is difficult. I think he should have taken at least three to four days to open it!" Another elder who had also gone out to watch Zheng-Fu's test earlier added, along with guessing when Zheng-Fu would be able to open the door to the manor.

"Whenever he can break through into the Heavenly Root stage, he would be able to open that door and enter the tower's first floor. However, breaking through the Divine King stage into the Heavenly Root stage is not an easy task. Many people have been stuck at this stage for decades. Even with high talent, if there is not enough effort and understanding, it will be difficult for that person!" said another elder who was stronger than the person who spoke earlier.

"Exactly as Master Lao-Si said. Even if this child has high talent but no effort, everything is meaningless. But judging from the fact that he was able to guess that this was a test, I think he must have something good that we definitely didn't expect!" the other elder next to him added.

"I think the same as Second Elder! I'm sure this kid must have something good that we didn't expect. Especially that…" the white-bearded elder sitting at the front of the line spoke up, pointing to Zheng-Fu, who was opening the door.

"Huh?"

Back to Zheng-Fu...

After he came to the entrance of the manor, Zheng-Fu took a look and used his senses to examine this large door before he found that this door had a Heaven Energy wave coating it. If it were not for someone who had enough Heaven Energy or was at the Heavenly Root stage or above, they could not open this door. But for Zheng-Fu, even though he was not a Heavenly Root stage cultivator, he already had energy equal to the sixth level of the Heavenly Root stage cultivator. He only had to wait for time to raise his level.

"Should I go inside now or stay here to break through to the next stage first?" Zheng-Fu hesitated. "Hmm… Better stay outside and break through the energy level!" He thought that he should break through to the next stage first because, once he entered the Heavenly Root stage, he might absorb Heaven Energy faster.

Thump!!!

Having made his decision, Zheng-Fu immediately sat down in a meditative position in front of the seven-story Moon Gazing Tower Manor's entrance before gathering all his energy to circulate throughout his body.

Wooooooosh!!!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

After Zheng-Fu made the Heaven Energy swirl through all the meridians throughout his body, the bones and muscles within his body rang out as if something had changed.

His already strong bones became even stronger. Originally, his bones were white, but now they were slowly turning golden. His meridians widened, causing the energy in his body to flow better. The muscle that was not much at first grew a bit more. Also, his hair grew longer than before, reaching his waist. And when every transformation in his body had stopped, Zheng-Fu's inner rumbling sounded.

Booooooom!!!

Aaaah!!!

Finally, Zheng-Fu was able to successfully advance to the Heavenly Root stage. And it was not the first level of the Heavenly Root stage, but the sixth level. Promoting from the highest Divine King stage to the sixth level of the Heavenly Root stage all at once was a shock. Whoever saw it could definitely not believe their own eyes. First, Zheng-Fu did not use any divine pills to help him. Second, he did not use any magical items to boost his power. Third, he simply sat down, meditated, and adjusted his energy.

"I was finally able to break the rules of energy levels that were restricted by the lower world. Oh, the Heavenly Root stage is so different from the Divine King! Never thought that just by shifting to the Heavenly Root stage, the energy I could feel would be this much!" Zheng-Fu was very glad that he was finally able to break through the Divine King stage, the highest energy level of the lower world. The feeling he got from this new level was very different from before.

Just by gently moving his hand, he had already caused a small fluctuation in the air. If he used all ten parts of his energy, then destroying the entire mountain would not be difficult. But the higher world was different from the lower world. Even though he was a Heavenly Root stage cultivator, it was only the basic level or the beginning of cultivation. And his ability was at its beginning too. For example, Zheng-Fu hardly knew Elder Min-Hou's energy level, and he could only sense the strength that the middle-aged man spread out.

Zheng-Fu's breaking through to the next level this time caused the five elders and one middle-aged man sitting at the top of the tower to have extremely shocked expressions on their faces because not only could he advance to the Heavenly Root stage, but he even crossed over to the sixth level of the Heavenly Root stage all at once.

After that, Zheng-Fu took about another shichen to stabilize all energy and maintain balance before getting up and walking towards the large door of the Moon Gazing Tower.

CRRRREEEAAAKKK!!!

The sound of the door opening was howling and eerie. Moreover, the pressure wave emitted from within the manor was also intense and heavy. With just the slightest exposure to this pressure wave, the energy inside Zheng-Fu's body churned up, like someone had thrown a stone at the calm water in the well, causing it to tremble.

Flop!!!

"Just a poor pressure. Do you think that will make me surrender? Dream on!" Zheng-Fu gradually adjusted his body to stabilize before he released his energy wave to counteract the pressure from the Moon Gazing Tower that smashed into him, causing it to dissipate.

Huh!!!

When the energy and pressure waves from the Moon Gazing Tower were gone, Zheng-Fu immediately walked into the tower. The first floor of the Moon Gazing Tower was an open hall with no tables, chairs, or shelves in it at all. There was only emptiness and stairs leading up to the second floor.

"What a tough test! Within this empty hall, it isn't as empty as the eye can see. With my senses, I can tell that this hall is filled with a lot of traps and tactical formations!" Zheng-Fu muttered softly, understandingly, knowing what to do next before he could go up to the second floor.

There were several traps in this empty hall, and if he had walked recklessly and provoked them, he would have been seriously injured or even killed. Zheng-Fu had to carefully walk through these traps. It took him only a few moments to pass them easily and reach the stairs leading up.

On the seventh floor of the Moon Gazing Tower...

"I never thought he would be able to dodge all those traps and tactical formations without triggering any of them. How wonderful he is! Ha ha ha!" Elder Gong-Jian, one of the Five Pillar elders, exclaimed gleefully after he saw that Zheng-Fu was able to safely dodge all the traps and tactical formations on the first floor and also did not make a single tactical formation work.

"If he only used his naked eyes, he would not have escaped these tactics. This just shows his strong spiritual and concentration abilities!" Elder Zhu-Gong, sitting next to Elder Gong-Jian, also praised Zheng-Fu.

"But on the second floor, it won't be as easy as the first floor! If he can get up to the second floor, that'll be enough for this test. Or even if he can't get past the second floor, it isn't too bad because he is still only at the Heavenly Root stage!" Elder Lao-Si, sitting next to Elder Zhu-Gong, had some expectations of Zheng-Fu as well. If Zheng-Fu was able to get past the second floor, he would immediately go down to bring Zheng-Fu up here. But if Zheng-Fu could not pass, he would send Zheng-Fu back, then go talk to him outside the tower instead.

"Mm!!!"
