Besides that, there was keen insight.
The steps of the count of one Yuan couldn't be climbed one by one.
That would be far too lacking in comprehension.
In truth, this also required understanding.
Those with high comprehension could find flaws and ascend through them.
Those with low comprehension could only obediently follow the rules and climb upward.
But no matter who, there was only one chance.
Thus, those with high comprehension could reach the top of a hundred steps.
While those with low comprehension might not even manage ten steps.
Looking at the virtual path before him, Gu Changsheng stepped onto it without hesitation.
And in that moment, Gu Changsheng's pace up the steps noticeably quickened.
"So that's how it is!"
Gu Changsheng smiled faintly and climbed up as if on familiar ground.
This sight immediately stunned some of the Primordial beings.
What was going on?
How had he suddenly run so fast?
"This human—could he be pumped full of chicken blood?"
"At this speed, who can compare?"
"Geez, is this really a human?"
All the beings were utterly baffled.
It looked a bit ridiculous.
How could a mere human have such explosive power?
"This kid, how is his luck so good?"
A burly, tiger-backed demon shouted sourly.
Gu Changsheng knew nothing of this.
He stepped lightly up the steps.
And the figures ahead of him, he also overtook.
While those beings were still tangled in confusion, they saw Gu Changsheng tread past with ease.
These beings were all dumbfounded.
What was this situation?
This kid was pretty impressive.
"He's a human!"
Someone recognized Gu Changsheng as a human and tried to chase after him.
Suddenly, a fierce wind swept up and flung him away.
That person fell down, filled with hatred for Gu Changsheng.
Gradually, a layer of immortal mist rose around the steps.
The mist spread, and Gu Changsheng climbed step by step.
Soon, he saw a figure with an Immortal Bearing, also climbing.
He looked quite extraordinary.
But Gu Changsheng didn't observe closely.
He walked straight past, leaving him behind.
That man of Immortal Bearing was hesitating over which step to take.
Suddenly, he saw a youth walk by beside him.
This startled him.
"How can he be so relaxed?"
The man didn't understand. He also saw that Gu Changsheng's cultivation was far too low.
In fact, he was only at the Human Immortal realm.
Yet this Human Immortal was so formidable?
And he easily stepped over the steps that even he dared not tread lightly.
The man was stunned.
Could it be that these steps weren't as terrifying as he had imagined?
Drawing a deep breath, the man stepped upward.
Suddenly, a terrifying illusionary realm surged forth, as if hurling him into an abyss of eternal ruin.
It took him a long moment to recover, gasping for breath.
He'd been tricked!
That was the thought in the man's mind.
But he felt that the man leaping ahead wasn't deliberately leading him astray.
His deft footwork immediately caught the man's eye.
"Incredible—he moves with such ease, truly worthy of my admiration!"
A flicker of awe passed across his brow.
"Though I, Guang Chengzi, am somewhat behind him, I will not lose!"
Guang Chengzi closed his eyes, steadying his mind.
He stepped precisely where Gu Changsheng had stepped.
Sure enough, the illusionary realm vanished as if into thin air, and before him stretched the Azure Nether Sky Dome, shrouded in auspicious clouds and blessed radiance.
This feeling was truly wonderful.
"He possesses such extraordinary skill."
Guang Chengzi praised Gu Changsheng once more.
To traverse the steps at such speed—
This Gu Changsheng was no ordinary kind of strong.
"Could it be... he did that on purpose?"
Guang Chengzi shook his head, his expression solemn.
"Enough thinking!"
He absolutely could not fall behind Gu Changsheng.
Guang Chengzi's resolve hardened in an instant.
He climbed the steps, quickening his pace.
But catching up to Gu Changsheng was no easy task.
This made Guang Chengzi dare not underestimate him.
"This one is truly formidable!"
Immortal mist swirled, its end nowhere in sight.
Guang Chengzi had no idea how many steps he had climbed.
Yet he still could not overtake Gu Changsheng.
"Too fast—I simply cannot catch up!"
Guang Chengzi sighed softly, a surge of stubborn refusal to yield welling up within him.
He resumed his pursuit of Gu Changsheng.
As for Guang Chengzi's thoughts, Gu Changsheng was unaware.
His speed was too great.
He felt as if he were about to float!
Chapter 4: Stepping Through the Heavenly Gate, the Yuanshi Dao Field!
Immortal mist coiled, Mighty Saintly Might billowed.
The illusionary realm before Gu Changsheng flickered past like frames of a film, one after another.
He had long lost count of how many steps he had crossed.
He only felt that the higher he went, the more the pressure bore down on him like a great mountain.
One misstep, and if he missed his footing, he would plummet.
But this did not hinder Gu Changsheng's stride.
Guang Chengzi, lagging behind, wore a solemn expression.
The shifting illusionary realm was nearly too much even for him to withstand.
