Amid the countless worried cries of the disciples.

Lin Yu did not linger any longer.

He had already spent quite some time admiring the scenery on the Mystic Rank Sacred Stairway.

There was little time left now.

Surrounded by countless astonished gazes.

Lin Yu stepped onto the third sacred stairway!

It was the Earth Rank Sacred Stairway, which represented immense pressure and had given rise to countless glories and legends!

"Junior Brother Lin Yu, he..."

"J-Junior Brother Lin Yu..."

Everyone stared, dumbstruck, at that familiar figure on the Earth Rank Sacred Stairway.

The third time!

In just a few short minutes, Lin Yu had overturned everything they knew for the third time!

Many found that they could no longer even speak clearly.

The third sacred stairway!

And as Lin Yu rapidly ascended, he seemed utterly free of fatigue!

At that moment, the disciples' eyes brimmed with worship, frenzy, hope, and longing!

Lin Yu's appearance had completely fulfilled their lifelong fervent pursuit of individual heroism!

A cultivator who did not want to be a hero would never become a powerhouse.

Although they were not the ones embodying that perfect image today.

Merely witnessing such a feat would give them a great story to tell their juniors in the future!

Only moments earlier, everyone had still been worried about Lin Yu's safety.

Now, those thoughts had long since been flung beyond the ninth heaven.

Worried?

Worried, my ass!

What was there to worry about with Lin Yu?

All they wanted now was to see Lin Yu reach the summit again!

"Charge, Junior Brother Lin Yu!"

"Junior Brother Lin Yu, charge!"

"Junior Brother Lin Yu, go, go, go!"

"Charge! Charge!"

"Charge!!!!"

No one knew who had shouted first.

In an instant, one call drew a hundred responses!

Their cries surged like towering waves, blanketing heaven and earth with a deafening roar!

But that chant...

It sounded rather comical.

On the Earth Rank Sacred Stairway.

Listening to the disciples' shouts, Lin Yu shook his head with a faint smile.

These fellows were still just as they had been before.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly as Lin Yu kept stepping forward.

The terrifying pressure of the Earth Rank Sacred Stairway did not affect his speed in the slightest!

He darted and leaped along the sacred stairway as though no one stood in his way!

In just a few breaths.

Under everyone's gazes of boundless astonishment and admiration, Lin Yu.

Stepped onto the summit of the Earth Rank Sacred Stairway!

Instantly, another ray of light shot out and enveloped Lin Yu!

A comfortable sensation spread throughout Lin Yu's body as well.

Although this golden light could no longer improve his strength in the slightest.

Being bathed in it still felt rather pleasant.

That fellow Yun Qian had certainly left quite a few good things for the Qianyuan Sect.

When the illumination ended, Lin Yu nodded with a smile and did not linger any longer.

Because almost none of the trial time remained!

Lin Yu stepped forward and slowly descended from the summit of the Earth Rank Sacred Stairway.

His destination was none other than the Heaven Rank Sacred Stairway!

Meanwhile.

The watching disciples, along with all the Qianyuan Sect's elders, held their breath and focused, their eyes following Lin Yu in unison!

A terrifying thought arose in all their hearts at the same time!

And the direction Lin Yu was heading matched that thought they could scarcely believe themselves!

"No way... are we really not dreaming...?"

A disciple murmured. Seeing Lin Yu reach the summit of the Earth Rank Sacred Stairway so easily had left them almost numb with excitement!

He had conquered three sacred stairways in succession!

Then, was it possible that the Heaven Rank Sacred Stairway might also...

An inexplicable anticipation arose in everyone's hearts!

If Lin Yu truly conquered the Heaven Rank Sacred Stairway, his name would surely go down in history, forever engraved in the historical records of the Great Yan Empire!

He would also earn a richly inked entry in the Qianyuan Sect's ancient records!

But they all understood very clearly how difficult that would be.

The Heaven Rank Sacred Stairway lived up to its name.

Reaching its summit was as difficult as ascending to heaven!

Had this been before Lin Yu ascended the first three sacred stairways.

They would never have entertained such a wild thought!

But Lin Yu had already brought them far too many surprises today.

Who could guarantee that he would not create another miracle?

Even the Qianyuan Sect's many elders and its four Peak Masters had the same thought!

This boy might truly be able to create a miracle!

The four Peak Masters were already growing impatient.

No one understood snatching recruits better than they did!

Whenever a genius appeared in the Qianyuan Sect, these four would each display their Divine Abilities and show off their skills!

They were unwilling to let a single outstanding disciple slip away!

Sometimes, when the competition grew heated, they would even come to blows!

However, those worthy of such treatment were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns!

Yet today, two such people had appeared in the Qianyuan Sect at once!

Among the Qianyuan Sect's disciples, only Yun Nianshan still wore a deep frown.

Yun Tianci had placed a restriction around her. Though it was not strong, it was more than enough to keep her confined.

Yun Tianci dared not let this little madam out to cause trouble, or there was no telling what she might do!

At that moment, Yun Nianshan's eyes shifted, and her thoughts stirred, as though she were plotting something.

Meanwhile.

"Look, Junior Brother Lin Yu... Junior Brother Lin Yu really has started climbing the Heaven Rank Sacred Stairway!"

A disciple shouted excitedly, his entire face flushed with boundless excitement!

Although Lin Yu's conquest of three sacred stairways in succession had already prepared them for this possibility.

Actually seeing it happen was another feeling altogether!

It brought a dizzying sensation, as though a fantasy had suddenly become reality!

Every disciple held their breath and focused on that graceful figure on the Heaven Rank Sacred Stairway!

Every step Lin Yu took upward tugged at countless people's nerves!

Meanwhile.

Lin Yu's advancing footsteps did not slow.

One step.

Two steps.

Ten steps.

Twenty steps.

Fifty steps.

One hundred steps!

Lin Yu was actually moving faster on the Heaven Rank Sacred Stairway than he had on the first three sacred stairways!

"Holy shit, is Junior Brother Lin Yu using cheats?"

A disciple murmured. Lin Yu was simply too fast!

Xiaobai's historic record of sixty-five steps on the Heaven Rank Sacred Stairway had been broken by Lin Yu barely a dozen minutes later!

"Using cheats? What does that mean?"

Another disciple asked in confusion.

"Well... I don't know either. The phrase just popped into my head."

The disciples were already becoming incoherent as they spoke!

Only eight steps remained before Lin Yu would set a unique, god-tier record in the Qianyuan Sect's history!

Something even successive sect masters had found difficult to accomplish!

Although the stronger one's cultivation, the greater the pressure one faced from the sacred stairway.

Generally speaking, those with stronger cultivation still had greater overall strength and climbed higher on the sacred stairway!

Yet Lin Yu seemed to possess only the strength of the Golden Core Third Tier!

The record he had left on this sacred stairway was simply too terrifying and astonishing!

"Step 101."

"Step 102."

"Step 105!"

Within just a few breaths, Lin Yu's figure had appeared on the 105th step!

And he still seemed to have no intention of stopping!

The disciples all covered their mouths in shock, holding their breath and concentrating, as though even their breathing had stopped!

The Qianyuan Sect, so noisy only moments before, was now utterly silent; even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be clearly heard!

If Lin Yu truly stood atop the Heaven Rank Sacred Stairway.

This would become an utterly unprecedented legendary tale in the Qianyuan Sect!

Lin Yu would also become the most legendary disciple in the Qianyuan Sect's history!

Would they actually witness the birth of this legend?

Lin Yu soon gave them their answer.

Standing on the 105th step, Lin Yu smiled and nodded lightly.

The sacred stairways Yun Qian had left behind all those years ago did indeed hold a few subtleties.

Although they were not worth mentioning in the Immortal Realm, here in the mortal world, they could be considered a rare sight.

"It's over."

Surrounded by everyone's gazes.

Lin Yu continued upward from the 105th step!

"Step 106..."

"Step 107!"

Someone cried out loudly.

At that moment, Lin Yu was only one step away from the summit of the Heaven Rank Sacred Stairway!

Everything hung by a thread, in a heart-stopping moment!

Everyone's hearts leaped into their throats, racing and unable to settle!

Many disciples clenched their fists, their eyes fixed intently on Lin Yu's back, which already looked somewhat indistinct!

Would a legend be born, or would all his efforts fall short at the final hurdle?

In that flash of lightning, that spark from flint!

Beneath countless gazes gathered from across heaven and earth.

Lin Yu, standing on the 107th step, moved once more!

"Boom!"

At that moment, the Heaven Rank Sacred Stairway itself seemed to let out an almost human cry of joy!

As though it were welcoming the one who had always belonged at its summit!

Lin Yu's steps remained resolute as he slowly took one step forward!

At last, he stood firmly upon the 108th sacred step!

The next second.

At the summit of the Heaven Rank Sacred Stairway, a brilliant golden light, several times more dazzling than the previous three sacred stairways combined, instantly enveloped Lin Yu's body!

The spiritual power in the air seemed to grow denser as well, its presence more turbulent!

Reaching the summit of the Heaven Rank Sacred Stairway would stir celestial phenomena, auspicious signs

"He really did it!"

"The four great sacred stairways-he actually reached the summit of every one..."

"Welcome, Junior Brother Lin Yu!"

"Welcome, Junior Brother Lin Yu!"

"..."

The instant Lin Yu ascended the 108th step, the disciples, tense and stifled for so long, could finally give full vent to their excitement!

In an instant, cheers swept through the entire crowd like roaring mountains and surging seas, lingering without end!

At that moment, in their hearts, Lin Yu was already a legend worthy of the name!
