Reaching the summit! The 108th step!
"Father, do you still insist there was nothing wrong with that trial?"
Elsewhere, seeing Lin Yu actually head toward the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway, Yun Nianshan raised her voice several more decibels as she questioned Yun Tianci.
If there was nothing wrong with the test results, Lin Yu possessed Heaven Rank talent, no matter how you looked at it!
Then why would he choose the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway?
Yun Nianshan felt this was simply an insult to her intelligence.
No, this was an insult to everyone's intelligence!
Yun Nianshan turned to look at Yun Tianci, waiting for his explanation.
Yun Tianci could only respond with a bitter smile.
He had no idea why this mysterious senior expert would choose the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway either!
Could he be going up to enjoy the view?
Wasn't that idea a little too ridiculous?
Yun Tianci racked his brains for a long time but still could not figure out how to explain it to Yun Nianshan.
Seeing this, Yun Nianshan grew even angrier, convinced that her father must have done something behind her back!
Once Lin Yu finished his trial, she would confront them face-to-face and get to the bottom of it!
Meanwhile.
Lin Yu stepped straight onto the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway.
It seemed to be an exceptionally profound movement technique.
No one could see how Lin Yu moved!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yu had already appeared on the 50th step of the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway!
At that moment, Lin Yu merely chuckled before continuing upward.
He did rather miss the view from the summit of the sacred stairway.
Meanwhile.
The disciples watching were in the midst of a heated discussion.
"Look, Lin Yu stopped on the 50th step."
"His strength really isn't up to much. A female disciple just made it all the way to the 70th step of the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway!"
"It's the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway, after all. The pressure is the weakest! Looks like Lin Yu's strength really can't compare to Sister Xiaobai's at all!"
Many shook their heads in regret.
They had thought the Qianyuan Sect would have two peerless geniuses with outstanding talent in this intake.
It seemed geniuses really did not appear so easily...
Yet a handful of those present had different thoughts.
Watching the figure on the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway, Shen Feng's eyes shone with unconcealed admiration and fervor!
Although Lin Yu's choice of the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway had surprised him somewhat.
The movement technique Lin Yu had just used to reach the 50th step was anything but ordinary!
As a poor fellow whose family was so poor that all they had left was money, Shen Feng considered himself fairly knowledgeable.
Though he would never have the chance to learn many top-tier cultivation methods and skills in this lifetime, he had at least seen others use them!
But the movement technique Lin Yu had just displayed left Shen Feng utterly dumbfounded!
He had never seen such a profound movement technique!
"Could this guy be hiding his strength?"
Shen Feng pursed his lips and murmured.
Someone at the Golden Core Stage could not control such an advanced movement technique!
Elsewhere.
Ling Yiran's eyes also sparkled as she looked at Lin Yu.
Back in Sea Heart City, she had truly witnessed Lin Yu displaying his strength.
She knew that Lin Yu's strength was at least at the high-level Nascent Soul Realm!
Although she did not know why Lin Yu had come to participate in this sect recruitment gathering.
Ling Yiran still could not help looking forward to his performance!
She knew that Lin Yu's result on this sacred stairway would far exceed everyone's imagination!
"Quick, look! Lin Yu's continuing upward!"
"Holy shit, he's so fast! Which step is he on now?"
"The 70th, I think?"
"You saw wrong. That's clearly the 80th!"
"Is something wrong with your eyes? I clearly see him on the 90th!"
"No... holy shit, he seems to be going up the whole time!"
"Holy shit, Lin Yu's too fast!"
"..."
The disciples who had been laughing and watching the spectacle so casually could no longer sit still!
Because they discovered, to their horror, that Lin Yu had reached the 90th step in an extremely short time!
Although the stairway Lin Yu was climbing was only the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway.
Who said reaching the 80th or 90th step of the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway was easy?
On the higher steps of the Qianyuan Sacred Stairways, the pressure exerted on climbers would increase exponentially!
The pressure on the 90th step was at least several times greater than on the 50th!
Quite a few disciples had chosen the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway earlier!
Yet the highest record had only been the 75th step!
From the 76th step onward, even the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway was like a nightmare to these disciples who were only just entering the Qianyuan Sect!
That terrifying pressure would torment every inch of a climber's skin, every nerve!
Yet Lin Yu now stood on the 90th step looking completely unaffected!
What kind of strength, what kind of talent was this?
Many of the watching disciples' expressions turned from relaxed to solemn.
Such strength.
Was enough to command their genuine attention!
Even their reverence!
Quite a few female disciples watched Lin Yu's steadily advancing figure on the sacred stairway with excitement, their eyes sparkling again and again!
Meanwhile.
Lin Yu's footsteps did not stop.
His figure shifted, and he took several more steps in succession!
In an instant, he was already nearing the summit of the sacred stairway!
Moreover, Lin Yu seemed to feel no pressure at all, his steps remaining light and nimble.
The watching disciples were dumbstruck!
"It looks like he's going to reach the summit!"
"He's so fast... how is this possible..."
"Can he really reach the summit? That's 108 steps!"
"I don't know. I've been in the sect for so many years, and I've never seen it!"
"The 100th step!"
"The 105th step!"
"The 108th step!!"
Under everyone's gazes, filled with incomparable horror and shock.
Amid countless clamorous discussions.
Lin Yu took a step.
And stood at the summit of the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway!
The 108th step!
The instant Lin Yu reached the summit.
A brilliant beam of golden light shot out from the sacred stairway, abruptly enveloping Lin Yu!
This was the Qianyuan Sacred Stairways' unique reward for those who reached the summit!
If an ordinary disciple were bathed in this golden light, both their physique and cultivation would improve greatly!
But it had little effect on Lin Yu.
"This... are my eyes playing tricks on me?"
"Pinch me. I don't think I'm awake..."
"What a freak. The 108th step..."
"Is this Lin Yu's true strength...?"
Below the sacred stairway.
The disciples looked at one another, exchanging bewildered glances, their eyes vacant.
Many were already speechless!
Just moments ago, they had been mocking Lin Yu for only daring to choose the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway, calling him all show and no substance!
Now Lin Yu had gone straight to the summit!
So what if it was the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway? Who among those present could reach its summit?
Regardless of the sacred stairway's rank, reaching the summit was hellishly difficult!
According to stories within the Qianyuan Sect, even Sect Master Yun Tianci could only barely reach the summit of the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway with extreme difficulty!
As for reaching the summit of the Black Rank, Earth Grade, and Heaven Rank Sacred Stairways, that was nothing but a tale from the Arabian Nights!
Even Sect Master Yun Tianci could only gaze at them and sigh!
This new disciple named Lin Yu had stood at the summit of the Yellow Rank Sacred Stairway at such a young age. His future achievements would likely be no lower than those of the current sect master, Yun Tianci!
"Brother Lin Yu is badass!"
"What are you shouting? Call him junior brother!"
"Right, right! Junior Brother Lin Yu is badass!"
"We welcome Junior Brother Lin Yu to the Qianyuan Sect!"
"We welcome Junior Brother Lin Yu to the Qianyuan Sect!"
"We welcome Junior Brother Lin Yu..."
No one knew who had first shouted it.
In an instant, the crowd erupted, and thunderous applause rang out!
