Heavenly Ladder Illusory Realm

This Sky Burning Tower is indeed very useful, at least within this Floating World.

But if Gu Yuanqing's guess is correct, things might be quite different once they leave the Floating World.

This tower is nourished by Demonic Qi. If it were located elsewhere, it would not be able to easily break through space to absorb Demonic Qi, and its power might be greatly reduced. However, its inherent quality still makes it a decent magical Law Treasure.

This unexpected stroke of good fortune made Gu Yuanqing think about many things.

"Perhaps it's because this realm is about to become the Exquisite World."

Gu Yuanqing put the Sky Burning Tower into his Storage Bag and chuckled. It seems that even in the Cultivation World, everything is still driven by self-interest.

Mountain Observation, the entire area spanning Three Thousand Li came into view. From the people there, Gu Yuanqing could roughly guess what he would face on the Heavenly Ladder.

"That's about enough, we can go in and give it a try now."

Gu Yuanqing closed his eyes and felt the phantom of the Heaven-Connecting Stele standing in his Sea of Consciousness, with the phantom of North Spring Mountain on the other side.

The difference between the two is that the Heaven-Connecting Stele is a blurry phantom, while the phantom of North Spring Mountain is like a real scene.

"The power of this Heaven-Connecting Stele is quite domineering. Without your consent, it forcibly imprints itself on your mind. This level of power far surpasses any known Law Treasure."

"The Demon Refining Array, the Floating World, the Exquisite World, the Heavenly Ladder, the Heaven-Connecting Stele, and the World Conflict —none of these seem to exist naturally. Rather, they are driven by some kind of power and Rules. This world may be far more complex than it appears at present."

Gu Yuanqing's thoughts touched the Heaven-Connecting Stele, and he immediately felt a dazzling seven-colored light. When it subsided, everything in front of him had transformed into a stairway to the heavens, leading straight up into the clouds.

Gu Yuanqing calmly observed the changes, already fully aware of the situation thanks to the Spiritual Mountain Trial and what he had heard about the experiences of others.

With each step, Gu Yuanqing felt darkness engulf her.

Bang! Bang!

A sound of something being slammed on the table startled Gu Yuanqing awake.

Looking up, I saw a bald, middle-aged man wearing glasses standing beside me, holding a water glass, with a cold face. "Sleeping so early in the morning? Where's the stuff? Is it fixed yet?"

Gu Yuanqing looked up at the man in front of her. This was the project manager from her previous life, named Huang Youhua.

Looking around, it was still the same place where I had worked for several years, and everything at my workstation was very familiar.

"Hmm? A past life?"

A thought flashed through his mind, and Gu Yuanqing suddenly laughed. He stood up, went to the window, and looked outside at the tall buildings and the cars coming and going.

Supervisor Huang Youhua angrily said, "Gu Yuanqing, I'm speaking for you! What kind of attitude is this?"

Hearing the noise, the surrounding colleagues all looked over.

"It all seems pretty real, except..."

Gu Yuanqing closed his eyes and looked inward, only to find that the phantom image of North Spring Mountain was still clearly visible in his mind.

"It can't hide the fact that it's bound to Spirit Mountain; it's still lacking something."

Gu Yuanqing reached out and wiped the glass, feeling that it was exactly the same as reality.

"Gu Yuanqing!" Huang Youhua slammed the water glass heavily onto the table.

Gu Yuanqing glanced back calmly, and Huang Youhua, as if struck by a severe blow, fell backward.

Gu Yuanqing's hand had already passed through the glass, and then he took a step and leaped into the air.

Inside the office, gasps of surprise rippled through the room. They rushed over and looked down, then looked up and saw Gu Yuanqing suspended in mid-air, their mouths agape.

Gu Yuanqing was slightly surprised; the person who had been conjured up was reacting so realistically.

However, he ignored it, set his sights on his hometown, and flew away.

Flying through the air, occasionally seeing airplanes fly by, everything is no different from reality.

An hour later, he returned to his hometown and met his parents from his previous life. They were overjoyed to see Gu Yuanqing return and showered him with concern.

That night, the family slaughtered a chicken and stewed meat; even the taste was so familiar.

That night, while I was sleeping in my room, I received a call from a colleague asking about my day.

He later came across a video online showing someone filming him on a plane.

Everything seemed so real.

Sensing that his parents were fast asleep in his hallucination, Gu Yuanqing sighed.

"If I didn't know it was fake, I would really like to stay a little longer, because even if countless years have passed here, only a moment has passed in the Outer Realm."

Gu Yuanqing released his consciousness from suppressing his memories, and everything came back to him.

Concentrate your gaze, Void Piercing Heavenly Eye, everything before you begins to vanish.

"This illusion was meant to temper one's character, but unfortunately, it's of no use to me whatsoever."

Gu Yuanqing stepped into the second floor.

It was still an illusion; he saw his parents in this life miraculously alive and making great contributions in the Prince's Manor.

"Well!"

With a soft sigh, the illusion Destruction, and he stepped onto the third level.

It was still an illusion. He saw himself and Li Miaoxuan still there. He had become the prince consort, and could choose from all kinds of cultivation Cultivation Method. Li Miaoxuan ascended the Imperial Throne, and he became second only to the emperor.

But all of this still couldn't suppress the bound phantom of Spirit Mountain.

The fourth step was finally no longer an illusion, but an opponent at the initial stage of True Martial Realm. The fifth step was an opponent at the Profound Martial Middle Rank. The seventh step was an opponent at the Profound Martial High Rank.

The opponent on the eighth step has reached the initial stage of the Dao Embryo, and on the ninth step, the opponent has reached the middle stage of the Dao Embryo realm...

Gu Yuanqing's Divine Platform realm, and these opponents couldn't even withstand a single move from him. As he progressed to the sixteenth level, his opponents finally changed to those at the Divine Platform Realm.

This challenge finally gained some meaning, but he was still no match for Gu Yuanqing.

He reached the nineteenth floor in one go, and only when facing the experts of the Divine Platform Fourth Level did he truly feel the atmosphere of a great battle.

After a hundred fierce moves, Gu Yuanqing suppressed the North Spring Mountain Phantom, but did not move forward any further.

With a thought, he withdrew from the Heavenly Ladder.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a flash of seven-colored light disappear in an instant.

A large pile of items appeared beside him.

Suddenly, he let out a soft exclamation and discovered that among these items were many materials used to forge Divine Platform, including a piece of Phoenix Gold and a piece of Seven-Colored Meteorite, both of which were rewards he received for passing the fifteenth level.

Gu Yuanqing seemed to be deep in thought.

"I was wondering why these people who came for the trial, who were clearly at the Dao Fire Peak and on the verge of breaking through to the Divine Platform, didn't bring many items for Divine Casting Platform. Now I see."

He put these items into his Storage Bag one by one. Most of these rewards were items suitable for each stage of his cultivation.

For example, the Dao Fire Realm is mainly used for tempering the body, while the Divine Platform Realm is mostly used for Divine Casting Platform Exotic Object.

"The Heaven-Connecting Stele and the Trial Heavenly Ladder are indeed quite interesting. Looking up the Heavenly Ladder, one wonders how many steps there are. No wonder even Zhang Xuanlin, Celestial Person, is still tempted by it."

At this moment, Gu Yuanqing's name was at the very top of the list, with the steps below him all being one or two steps, and he alone was far ahead.

Everyone in the world was amazed by what they saw, yet no one thought anything was wrong.

In this realm, his name has long been known throughout the world. He is like a god, so it is only natural that he can achieve such a feat!

The Slanting Moon World, Hundred Phoenix Mountain, the Residence the Bai Clan, one of the five great Aristocratic Clan.

Members of the five major Lineage gathered here.

"Everyone, you should all know about this World Conflict, right? My Slanting Moon World is ranked last, and in a hundred years, we will have to fight against the chosen Floating World. What do you all think about this?" The speaker was Bai Changbi, the head of the Bai Clan, who was sitting at the head of the table.

"It's just a mere Floating World. Even if it lasts for a hundred years, so what?" A richly dressed old man said calmly.
