Ninety-Nine Eighty-One Steps on the Ascension Path

Open your eyes.

It was a sea of heads.

The sacred realm was very spacious, but everyone was huddled together.

Riding the dragon horse, Lu Changsheng felt a little dizzy.

After regaining some composure, Lu Changsheng was utterly speechless.

But who would have thought that the door would actually grow legs?

"Senior Brother Changsheng is here, everyone please make way!"

"I didn't expect Senior Brother Changsheng to come too. It seems my Immortal Fate is hopeless."

"Senior Brother Changsheng is here! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Make way, make way, everyone make way, let Senior Brother Changsheng breathe some fresh air."

The next moment, someone noticed that Lu Changsheng had also arrived, and immediately shouted over, and in an instant everyone made way for the main path.

Soon, a man surrounded by light walked over; this was the Holy Son of the Taiyi Holy Land.

He looked at Lu Changsheng with great respect and said, "Senior Brother Changsheng, the Ascension Platform is just ahead."

The Supreme Unity Holy Son was extremely respectful, which made Lu Changsheng feel rather embarrassed.

"Brother Chen, you're too kind."

Lu Changsheng remembered the name of the Supreme Unity Holy Son.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, Senior Brother Changsheng. I've been waiting for you here. I thought you weren't coming."

Supreme Unity Holy Son laughed.

"Brother Chen, you might not believe it, but I didn't want to come in. However, the door somehow grew legs and appeared in front of me."

Lu Changsheng said with some worry.

"Uh..." Supreme Unity Holy Son fell silent. He was very upset. He had no grudge against Lu Changsheng, so why did he treat him like a fool?

"Senior Brother Lu, the most urgent task now is to ascend to the Ascension Platform. Let's not waste any more time."

"That's what the Supreme Unity Holy Son said."

"Ascension Platform?"

Lu Changsheng was a little curious, and then looked behind Supreme Unity Holy Son.

A jade staircase radiating an eerie light stands in the void.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, this is the legendary Ascension Platform. It is said that as long as you climb the eighty-one steps, you can ascend to immortality. Of course, this is just a legend."

As Supreme Unity Holy Son explained, he and Lu Changsheng walked inside.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, according to legend, as long as a cultivator steps onto the Ascension Platform, he can directly ascend to immortality. However, the Celestial Origin Holy Ground Realm has been missing for countless epochs. When we came to check, we found that this Ascension Platform has lost its divinity."

"It cannot make people ascend to immortality, but it still retains some spirituality and can detect a cultivator's Immortal Fate!"

"That's what the Supreme Unity Holy Son said."

"Detecting Immortal Fate?"

Lu Changsheng was a little curious and didn't understand what this meant.

"Senior Brother Changsheng Immortal Fate, I only heard about the so-called immortal affinity from the elders of my holy land. Whether a person can become an immortal depends on whether they have immortal Immortal Fate. The more Immortal Fate one has, the more likely they are to become an immortal and achieve great things in the future."

The other party explained.

"Isn't this just luck?"

Lu Changsheng answered subconsciously.

"No, Senior Brother Changsheng, a predestined connection to Immortal Fate is a predestined connection to Immortal Fate, and destiny is destiny!"

Supreme Unity Holy Son explained.

What's the difference between the two?

Lu Changsheng asked with some curiosity, "Is having abundant fortune the same as having good luck? Does having abundant affinity with Immortal Fate mean you're just lucky?"

"Yes."

The Supreme Unity Holy Son answered immediately.

"Isn't that fortune the same as Immortal Fate, Immortal Fate the same as fortune?"

Lu Changsheng was taking it a bit too seriously.

"No, Senior Brother Lu, Immortal Fate is Immortal Fate, and good fortune is good fortune."

Supreme Unity Holy Son answered with a smile.

Hiss!

Lu Changsheng was stunned.

After a while, he understood.

This is another silly thing.

Soon, Lu Changsheng arrived in front of the Ascension Platform.

At first glance.

The Ascension Platform is made of jade, and each piece of jade emits a seven-colored light, making it look magnificent. The Ascension Platform has a total of eighty-one steps.

It looks extraordinary.

Above the Ascension Platform, clouds and mist swirl around, radiating a dazzling, ethereal light. In the hazy distance, one can almost see the phantom of a celestial being descending to earth in broad daylight.

There's a feeling that once you reach the top, you'll truly feel like you're ascending to heaven.

"Senior Brother Lu, this Ascension Platform has a total of eighty-one steps. However, generally speaking, being able to cross nine steps is considered to have great fortune in Immortal Fate. Senior Brother Lu, take a look at this Ascension Platform. So far, the highest recorded number of steps is thirty-six."

The Supreme Unity Holy Son pointed to the Ascension Platform and said this.

Lu Changsheng turned his gaze in that direction.

Sure enough, several names appeared on the thirty-sixth step.

'Tai Asheng' 'Lin Wanchu' 'Heaven Sword One'

There are three names in total.

"How come the highest record is only thirty-six levels?"

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised.

There are a total of 81 steps, with the highest record being only 36 steps, which is a bit unreasonable.

"Changsheng, Martial Nephew, you may not understand. This Ascension Platform is not a treasure of our Immortal Cultivation World, but a treasure of the Immortal Realm. Our cultivation world is full of talented people and has no shortage of geniuses. In the Immortal Realm, the Ascension Platform is also used by various immortal sects to measure the aptitude of their disciples."

"Thirty-six steps is already quite high. I once saw a detailed record of the Ascension Platform in an ancient book. Legend has it that if one can climb ten steps of the Ascension Platform, one will have the potential to become an immortal, and if one can climb twenty steps, one will not only become an immortal, but will also be an outstanding person in the future."

"If you can climb over the thirtieth step, you will be sought after by countless immortal sects in the immortal realm. And after reaching the thirty-sixth step, it will be even more extraordinary. The thirty-sixth step is the number of the Heavenly Gang. After that, every six steps you climb will be a different level."

"Up to the seventy-second step, it goes without saying that seventy-two is the number of the Earthly Fiends. Once you step onto the seventy-second step, your Immortal Fate will be as abundant as True Dragon. If you step onto another step after that, your Immortal Fate will increase tenfold."

"The legend says that whoever truly stands on the eighty-first step of the Heavenly Ascension Platform possesses the potential to become an Immortal Emperor."

This was an experienced elder who earnestly recounted the extraordinary aspects of ascending to the Ascension Platform.

"Eighty-one levels, the potential of an Immortal Emperor? What is an Immortal Emperor anyway?"

"No wonder Li Rulong, Wang Xuanji, Zhang Yuanru only stood on the nineteenth step, while the Holy Son of Central Province, namely the Purple Azure Holy Son, crossed the twenty-first step. So that's how it is."

"Reaching the tenth level grants one Immortal Fate to immortality, the potential to become an immortal in the future; reaching the twentieth level makes one an outstanding individual; and reaching the thirtieth level makes one a genius of the immortal realm! It's a pity, I can't even reach the fifth level, alas!"

In an instant, the cultivators began to discuss among themselves.

"Senior Brother Lu, the first test of the Celestial Origin Holy Ground is the Ascension Path. Only by passing the first ten steps can one go inside. The Holy Son of the Eastern Land and our Central Province have already gone in, including the holy maiden. The Immortal Fate is very likely to be inside."

Supreme Unity Holy Son spoke, informing Lu Changsheng.

"Oh! Why don't you go in, Brother Chen?"

Lu Changsheng was somewhat curious.

However, soon, an older generation of cultivators spoke up.

"The Supreme Unity Holy Son has already tried, the ninth level, but he has no Immortal Fate of becoming an immortal."

Upon hearing the voice, the Supreme Unity Holy Son couldn't help but look slightly embarrassed.

But he was also very frustrated.

This Ascension Platform doesn't consider your cultivation level or realm; it only considers your affinity and aptitude for Immortal Fate.

Although he was a Holy Son, there was nothing he could do if he lacked the aptitude and talent for Immortal Fate.

Just then, suddenly, Longma's voice rang out.

"Brother, this Ascension Platform is quite interesting. Shall I go up and try it out first?"

His gaze was fixed on the Ascension Platform, his eyes filled with interest.

"Okay, Old Ma, be careful."

Lu Changsheng nodded. Let's see how others have logged in first.

That way, I won't be embarrassed if I manage to get to the tenth step.

Then, without saying a word, Longma leaped up.
