Du Kang was almost in tears; how could he dare to lie to Fuyao?
Fuyao is the most valued female disciple in the entire Heavenly Mountain Holy Land. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe her as a prodigy favored by heaven. Which disciple like her wouldn't receive the full support and cultivation of the entire sect?
Let alone disciples like Du Kang and Ma Huicao, even Li Qingfeng wouldn't dare utter a word of dissent in the face of such an enraged Fuyao, as the consequences would be severe.
Seeing Fuyao's ashen face, Du Kang said with a wry smile, "How could I dare to lie to you? It's just that... you can ask anyone, Yang Zhen did indeed enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower."
What is the Heavenly Ladder Tower?
It is known as the Heavenly Absolute Tower by the disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land. While the Heavenly Ladder may be able to climb it, the Heavenly Absolute is simply not something that humans can climb.
Even Fuyao in front of him couldn't climb to the sixth step. Li Qingfeng was a little better off, able to force his way to the sixth step from the fifth. But he needed to be fully prepared, otherwise he would have been seriously injured if he wasn't careful.
Li Qingfeng is currently in seclusion in the fifth level. Du Kang and Ma Huicao only wanted Yang Zhen to see the ' Heavenly Absolute Tower ' and make him back down, so that he wouldn't be so arrogant and dare to say such rebellious things as instructing Elder Yan.
A group of disciples from the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land also came with the intention of watching the excitement, but... things didn't seem to develop as they had imagined.
Yang Zhen... actually walked into the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
If it weren't for Fuyao's ashen face, which seemed genuine, both Du Kang and Ma Huicao would have assumed that Fuyao had disregarded the rules of the Holy Land and secretly taught Yang Zhen the method to enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Even hearing about it, let alone witnessing it firsthand, felt unreal. How could they possibly convince Fuyao?
Seeing the gloomy and strange expression on Fuyao's face, Ma Huicao sighed and said, " Du Kang is absolutely right. Yang Zhen did indeed enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower. We saw it with our own eyes. But there's one thing I don't understand: how was Yang Zhen able to enter? Could it be that someone among us secretly taught Yang Zhen the method to enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower?"
Fuyao's expression changed, and she stared at Ma Huicao, saying, "Are you doubting me?"
Ma Huicao hurriedly shook his head and said, "Of course you wouldn't, because you didn't even know that the two of us would take Yang Zhen to the Heavenly Ladder Tower. But if it weren't for you, who could have known in advance that Yang Zhen was going to the Heavenly Ladder Tower and taught him the method to enter Heavenly Ladder Tower?"
The three exchanged bewildered glances, while the expressions of the surrounding disciples changed drastically.
" Yang Zhen actually knows the method to enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower from my Heavenly Mountain Holy Land?"
"This is outrageous! Who on earth is so treacherous as to teach Yang Zhen such a technique?"
"Could it be that Yang Zhen... doesn't even know the method to enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower?"
One of the disciples suddenly said with some doubt.
These words caused an uproar among everyone present.
"How is that possible? Without the proper method, neither you nor I could enter the Heavenly Ladder. Even Elder Yan said that if you force your way into the Heavenly Ladder without the correct method, you will be blasted out by immense heavenly might. Do you think just anyone can enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower?"
"How did Yang Zhen get in?"
"Someone must have secretly taught Yang Zhen the method to enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower!"
While everyone's faces showed surprise and uncertainty, Fuyao's expression was even more astonished. Who could have imagined that things would develop to this point?
Yang Zhen doesn't know the method to enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower?
How is that possible!
Just then, someone exclaimed, "Look! Senior Brother Li Qingfeng is actually attempting to break through to the sixth level!"
As the light in the fifth staircase intensified, everyone gasped. Even Fuyao was taken aback, looking in surprise at the gradually brightening sixth staircase.
The sixth ladder lit up, indicating that someone was attempting to reach it. Currently, besides Yang Zhen, who had just entered the Heavenly Ladder Tower Heavenly Ladder Tower, only Li Qingfeng was inside. Clearly, the one attempting to reach the sixth Heavenly Ladder Tower was Li Qingfeng.
Many people held their breath, and even Yang Zhen forgot about it.
The disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land have been secretly comparing Li Qingfeng and Fuyao Yao to determine who has the greater talent. The number of supporters for the two is roughly equal. If Li Qingfeng can break through to the sixth level, it will be enough to prove that Li Qingfeng's talent in this aspect is stronger than Fuyao's.
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, Fuyao's face also showed a look of doubt and uncertainty, but she didn't seem to feel any worry.
Only by breaking through to the second level can one possibly ascend to the sixth step of the Heavenly Ladder Tower. According to Fuyao, Li Qingfeng has not broken through to the second level.
However, the thought had barely formed when Fuyao exclaimed in surprise, her face showing shock and joy. Li Qingfeng had actually broken through!
The sixth ladder shone brightly, accompanied by a series of thunderous booms, while the light on the fifth ladder gradually faded.
This is enough to prove that Li Qingfeng has succeeded.
Sure enough, a hearty laugh rang out, and Li Qingfeng appeared before everyone. Although his breath was somewhat weak, his eyes were bright and his face was full of pride and ecstasy.
Seeing the countless disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land inside and out, Li Qingfeng showed a hint of surprise on his face, then laughed and said, "It's just breaking through to the sixth level, no need to make such a fuss and have so many fellow disciples come to congratulate me, is there?"
Everyone could sense the arrogance and elation on Li Qingfeng's face, but this was only to be expected.
Heavenly Absolute Tower! That's Heavenly Absolute Tower!
If word got out that the sixth floor of the Heavenly Absolute Tower was involved, it would be enough to shock the entire Heavenly Mountain Holy Land.
The arrogance and elation on Li Qingfeng's face gradually subsided. Upon seeing Fuyao, he smiled slightly, approached Fuyao, and said loudly, " Fuyao, this time, I've luckily taken the lead!"
Fuyao nodded and said, "Congratulations!"
As she spoke, Fuyao cast a strange look at the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
Li Qingfeng was taken aback, glanced at Fuyao in surprise, and turned to look at the Heavenly Ladder Tower. In the first step of the Heavenly Ladder Tower, there was a flash of light!
Is anyone there?
Li Qingfeng's expression hardened. He turned to look at Du Kang and Ma Huicao, and asked in a deep voice, "Who's inside?"
Du Kang and Ma Huicao sighed and told Li Qingfeng about Yang Zhen's situation.
"That's utterly ridiculous!"
Li Qingfeng's face darkened, and he glared at the two, reprimanding them, " Heavenly Absolute Tower is the most important place in our Heavenly Mountain Holy Land. How can we allow outsiders to enter so easily? Yang Zhen... who taught him the method to enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower?"
At this point, Li Qingfeng suddenly turned his gaze to Fuyao.
Fuyao shook her head and said, "It wasn't me!"
"Not you?" Li Qingfeng snorted coldly, turned to Du Kang and Ma Huicao, and said, "No matter how arrogant Yang Zhen is, he is still a guest brought by the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable. If you let him into the Heavenly Absolute Tower and he gets injured, who will take responsibility?"
Du Kang and Ma Huicao looked at each other and both curled their lips in disapproval.
Damn it, you probably want Yang Zhen to get injured or even die in the Heavenly Ladder Tower more than anyone else. So what if he broke through to the sixth level? What's so great about that?
They only thought about it and didn't dare say it aloud.
Just then, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the crowd, and everyone's eyes instinctively turned towards the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
The second elevator is now lit up.
"You've entered the second tier?" Li Qingfeng's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "You truly have exceptional talent. I'd like to see which tier you can climb."
