Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system

Chapter 166 Ch-166: Treasure Pagoda(3)

"Huh, Princess Wu Jing, you're also here?" Hui Mei said in surprise when she saw Wu Jing approaching the entrance of the tower along with two other people, naturally Wang Ming and Feng Mei.

"Sect Master Hui Mei, Disciple Tang Ning, it has been some time since I last saw you guys," Wu Jing said with a polite smile on her face. As the princess of the Black Bamboo Kingdom, she naturally met the sect leaders of various sects in the kingdom, and the Heavenly Sword Sect is no exception.

"Greetings, Princess Wu Jing," Tang Ning said with an indifferent look on her face, not rude but not overly friendly. Hui Mei rolled her eyes at her disciple, recognizing the usual reserved tone. She knew Tang Ning only showed polite behavior towards her.

"Yes, it has been some time since we last saw each other. All the disciples are preparing for the tournament that will take place soon. I am surprised to find you here as well," Hui Mei said with a smile on her face.

"I am pretty sure the Heavenly Sword Sect will have many disciples passing the preliminary tournament and representing the kingdom. Yeah, I was traveling with a few of my guards and came upon this place by chance," Wu Jing said with a slight edge in her voice, recalling what happened a few moments ago.

"By the way, who are they?" Hui Mei pointed towards Wang Ming and Feng Mei. Hui Mei's face turned a bit rosy when she saw Wang Ming's handsome face.

"They are people I befriended in this place by chance and am traveling with them," Wu Jing said, avoiding revealing anything as Wang Ming still had that video with him.

The crowd instantly buzzed with shock upon hearing the identity of the new group.

"Damn, she's the Princess of the Balck Bamboo Kingdom, Wu Jing," exclaimed one member of the crowd.

"Unlucky, we have to wait more before we get our chance," said another person.

"Like the rumors said, she is indeed extremely beautiful," commented a man while staring at Wu Jing.

"Watch your gaze. If she sees it, your eyes might be gouged," warned another person.

All sorts of chatter filled the crowd.

"Princess, do you want to go first?" Hui Mei offered, but Wu Jing shook her head.

"No, you came first, so you should go first," Wu Jing said.

"What about your friends? This miss can go later," Hui Mei suggested, and Tang Ning was about to protest but obediently shut her mouth in the end.

"No, I think the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect should go. I dare not stop a Golden Core Realm cultivator. I saw how domineering you were at the entrance," Wang Ming teased, causing her to blush a bit as she remembered her overbearing attitude at the entrance.

"Yes, you can go first. We will wait," Feng Mei said, rolling her eyes at Wang Ming as he suppressed his true cultivation.

"Alright, I will go first," Hui Mei said as she disappeared into the tower, and everyone in the crowd erupted into discussion.

"Look, the Sect Master has finally entered the Treasure Pagoda!" said a man with an excited look on his face.

"How far do you think she can reach?" asked a person in the crowd.

"I think she can reach the 32nd floor, considering she is at the Golden Core Realm, which is a top powerhouse in the kingdom," said another person in the crowd.

"I think you are underestimating her. Don't forget her disciple, Tang Ning, was only at the 1st Stage of Core Formation Realm and reached the 25th floor. Now, she is at the Golden Core Realm, not at the 1st Stage but the 9th stage. I think she should be able to climb higher than the fiftieth floor," suggested a person from the crowd.

"I think you are overestimating her, but let's see what happens," said another person.

45 minutes later...

"Heck, it's been a few minutes, and she's already on the tenth floor!" exclaimed a man, pointing towards the illuminated orange tenth floor.

"As expected of someone at the 9th stage of the Golden Core Realm and the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Her disciple took 2 hours, and she didn't even take an hour to reach it." said a man with a sigh

1 hour later...

"Look, she reached the twentieth floor already," said a woman in the crowd.

"Now the real challenge will start as she cannot take any breaks between her fights and has to fight nonstop from the 21st floor onward," said a man in a solemn voice.

"That's right. I've also read that in a history book once," added another person in the crowd.

12 hours later...

"Damn, she reached the 49th floor. How can someone fight nonstop for so long, especially against opponents who are higher level? I would have died a thousand times already," said a cultivator nervously.

"She's not like an ordinary cultivator," said a man with a sigh.

"Damn, do you feel that sharp sword intent? It makes my skin feel prickly," remarked a sword cultivator.

1 day later...

"Look, she's been stuck on the 49th floor for more than a day. I don't think she can proceed any further," said a person in the crowd.

"It seems like it. I also don't think she can proceed further," commented another person. Just as these words were spoken, an orange light illuminated the fiftieth floor.

"Damn, she actually reached the fiftieth floor!" exclaimed the man in surprise.

"Yes, it's something ordinary cultivators and many elites can't even think of doing. I think this is her limit," said a woman.

"Wang Ming, do you think she can reach any further?" Feng Mei asked Wang Ming, knowing he has a higher cultivation than the sect master.

"No, I think this is her limit. Look," Wang Ming said as the light dimmed on the fiftieth floor, revealing the haggard figure of a woman in front of everyone.
