Among those present.
Only Ye Qiubai and others are currently unknown and powerless.
Moreover, his cultivation level before being suppressed was only at the Earth Immortal Realm Heaven Immortal Realm.
They were truly no match for this Immortal King and generals.
Although the matter of the Fen Yan Valley challenge was already known to some people.
but.
Even if one is invincible within the same realm, even if one can fight across realms.
So what?
Aren't they just mere terrestrial Earth Immortal Heavenly Immortal?
In the eyes of these Immortal King Realm experts, he was nothing more than an ant.
Although his cultivation level was suppressed to the Earth Immortal Realm Late Stage.
But their foundation remains; their understanding of the Dao Law and their practical application are ingrained in their very souls—something they simply cannot compare to.
so.
It's quite normal for Ye Qiubai and others to be targeted by others.
Or rather, it would be abnormal if no one were to use Ye Qiubai and his group as cannon fodder unless they were specifically targeted.
Clearly, Ye Qiubai and the others were not surprised by this.
She looked at the man with a very calm expression.
Fen Yan, standing to the side, frowned slightly and said softly, " Zhuo Cai, a prodigy from the first-rate power, Severed Soul Palace, ranked seventh on the Immortal King Rankings."
Zhuo Cai also looked at Fen Yan and sneered, "What, Fen Yan? Are these people from your Fen Yan Valley? Has your Fen Yan Valley become more and more backward, actually giving up your spots to some Earth Immortal Realm? Could it be that you can't produce any disciples anymore?"
"It seems that your Fen Yan Valley is not far from falling to the level of a second-rate power."
Before Fen Yan resolved the fire poison problem of the Immortal Fire Nine Profound Body, Fen Yan was no match for Zhuo Cai. Now, he has probably surpassed him.
However, no one else knew about this.
Therefore, Zhuo Cai had no psychological burden when facing Fen Yan.
Faced with Zhuo Cai's mockery, Fen Yan Yan's face darkened, and he said coldly, "They are not disciples of my Fen Yan Valley, but... one day you will regret what you have done today."
He was well aware of the talents of Ye Qiubai and others.
His training sessions with Xiao Hei, in particular, terrified him.
Moreover, their master Senior Lu.
Even his father couldn't see through it.
Moreover, the quota for the Immortal Affinity Heaven-Reaching Mountain was personally given to Senior Lu by the Immortal Emperor.
This kind of treatment is proof of Senior Lu's terrifying strength.
"Ha." Zhuo Cai scoffed, "You mean, you want me to fawn over these little brats from the Earth Immortal Realm?"
"Whether I regret it or not, here we'll do as I say for now, or would you like to have a little sparring session with me first?"
Hearing Zhuo Cai's words.
Fen Yan a single step, Fen Yan unleashed the Nine Profound Immortal Fire from his body!
Roaring flames swept across the space, turning the entire sky a fiery red!
"You think I'm afraid of you?"
However, just as Fen Yan was about to make his move...
Ye Qiubai patted Fen Yan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Fen, let's conserve our strength here for now. Since they want us to be the vanguard, then let's be. Whether we'll be cannon fodder or not is still unknown."
Fen Yan opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Ye Qiubai once again.
"Didn't you see that others also want us to be the striker?"
Upon hearing this, Fen Yan turned to look at the others and found that their eyes held both approval and tacit agreement.
"If you act now, you'll only make yourself a target of public criticism."
The Fen Yan silent.
Ye Qiubai smiled, looked at Zhuo Cai, and said, "As you wish, however, we might not become cannon fodder."
Zhuo Cai sneered.
Even they would be extremely wary of this first hurdle of Heaven-Reaching Mountain, and nearly half of them might even be eliminated.
Keep in mind that they are all powerful figures at the Immortal King Realm and Immortal General Realm.
On the other hand, what about Ye Qiubai and his group?
How could they possibly pass this first hurdle?
Ye Qiubai turned around and looked at Hong Ying, Xiao Hei, and their group.
Before he could speak...
Hong Ying then smiled and said, "Are you saying that since you're the senior disciple, you'll go and try it out first, while we stay here?"
Xiao Hei said in a muffled voice, "Let's go together."
Mu Fusheng shrugged and said, "Indeed, if we attack together, the chances of success will increase significantly, since we can support each other."
Ning Chenxin, Shi Sheng, Mu Wan'er, Xiao Shitou, and Fang Qiong also nodded with smiles.
Seeing this.
Ye Qiubai chuckled, "Since that's the case, then let's go."
After saying that, the group walked up the stairs together.
Beside Qiu Jing, Han Lu asked calmly, "How far do you think they can go?"
Qiu Jing crossed her arms, her face indifferent, her eyes utterly calm, as if nothing could sway her.
Those who have a spot must have outstanding qualities.
"However, his foundation is too weak; he will fail in the second stage, which is after the 200th floor."
"Besides, Fang Qiong's talent isn't up to par."
Qiu Jing was also present when she accepted disciples at the Immortal Palace.
Therefore, he was quite clear about Fang Qiong's deeds.
His talent might be acceptable in a second-rate power, but in the Immortal Affinity Heaven-Reaching Mountain, it's nothing special.
The first obstacle is a mountain path leading to the mountainside, which has a total of one thousand steps.
Every two hundred floors constitutes a stage.
Someone chuckled from the side, " Qiu Jing, your assessment is too high! In my opinion, these kids won't even make it past the first stage!"
Zhuo Cai nodded with a cold laugh, "Being able to show us what kind of Dao Law will emerge in the first stage has already fulfilled their purpose; we don't need to ask for too much."
However, Han Lu smiled and said, "But why do I have a feeling that they can reach the third stage?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at Han Lu.
Han Lu chuckled and explained, "Why were they able to get so many spots? It couldn't be through connections, could it?"
Even the most bizarre things have an underlying logic.
This is the same.
In Han Lu's view, securing so many spots was no accident!
now.
Ye Qiubai and the others stepped onto the first set of stairs together.
And the moment they stepped onto the first step.
In an instant, countless bolts of lightning above them transformed into beams of lightning that shot towards them!
It is filled with Power of Destruction!
The first stage is the Lightning Dao Law!
Upon seeing this, Ye Qiubai and the others' expressions turned slightly serious.
They acted simultaneously.
Sword Intent soars to the heavens, Star Meteorite, the Dao of Samsara, the power of the physical body is unleashed, Divine General Descent...
Shatter these pillars of lightning!
Although the first step doesn't seem difficult.
However, the first stage alone has two hundred steps.
The first layer already possesses this level of strength?
really.
The name of the Immortal Affinity Heaven-Reaching Mountain is truly well-deserved.
No wonder they were able to eliminate so many people in the first round.
At this moment, Xiao Hei suddenly said, "If we keep going up these thousand steps, we might not be able to reach the top."
"How about I go up front first as a striker, and then we can substitute when I can't keep up?"
