Demon-Subduing Hall, some people exclaimed in surprise, some clutched their clothes tightly to their chests, some dared not look any longer, yet could not control the excitement and anticipation in their hearts, their legs became numb, and they were reluctant to move an inch, even more reluctant to blink.
The number fifty-nine is simply too sensitive.
Next, once Wan Renshan passes the sixtieth level, even if it's just moving up one level, it means he will finally be able to climb onto the list that has remained unchanged for a thousand years and become the one who breaks the millennium-old predicament!
At a time like this, how could they bear to look away!
How dare you move it!
At that very moment, in the center of the Demon-Subduing Hall's tower, a beam of light was struggling to break through the forty-fifth level. Its light flickered like a candle flame about to be blown out, swaying precariously as it entered a stalemate of fierce fighting.
Before long, the light finally went out at the forty-fifth level, and the light never came on at the forty-sixth level either.
A figure was teleported directly out of the Demon-Subduing Hall, looking somewhat disheveled, his initial high spirits gone.
No one would have paid much attention at first, but someone, feeling nervous and flustered, subconsciously looked to the side. Once they did, they couldn't look away and screamed in disbelief.
"Senior Brother Wan!?"
It was as if I had encountered someone who shouldn't be there.
The others were somewhat annoyed when they heard this, blaming the person for shouting and nearly making them lose their composure.
However, when they followed the line of sight and saw the figure that had been teleported out of the Demon-Subduing Hall, they were immediately stunned.
"Senior Brother Wan...?"
"Am I seeing things? How... how did Senior Brother Wan get teleported out!?"
Everyone looked at the figure standing Demon-Subduing Hall, completely bewildered, even doubting whether they had seen it wrong, or whether they had fallen into some kind of illusion.
after all...
Isn't Senior Brother Wan currently challenging the tower?
How did I get teleported out?
Upon realizing this, everyone frantically looked towards the fifty-ninth level, thinking that Wan Renshan had failed to break through the leaderboard. However, when they looked over, they were stunned again, their minds going blank.
The level 59 indicator is still lit up.
This means the people inside are still there and have not been teleported out.
But, Senior Brother Wan, you're outside right now...?
At this moment, Wan Renshan's mood was not very good.
His face looked rather pale. He took a deep breath and barely managed to calm the resentment in his heart.
This time, the reason he returned from the Demon Battlefield to challenge the tower was to break through the sixtieth level, successfully make it onto the list, and join the ranks of legends.
But when he broke through the fortieth level and felt the increased pressure, he had to admit that he had indeed underestimated the Demon-Subduing Hall, and even more so, the legendary figures who had been on the list.
Let alone level sixty.
Even though he had given it his all and used every means at his disposal, he ultimately failed at the forty-fifth level and could not make any further progress.
He was still a long way from his goal of reaching the sixtieth level; the difference was like heaven and earth.
After gradually calming his resentment, Wan Renshan noticed his surroundings and the way others were looking at him.
Almost everyone stared at him blankly, their eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.
Wan Renshan's steps, which were about to leave, suddenly halted.
He was somewhat puzzled.
What's wrong with these people?
Was he shocked by his own achievement of reaching the forty-fifth level?
After all, among the Ten Saints and the students, he was the only one who broke through the fortieth level; the others were all fluctuating between the twentieth and thirtieth levels.
However, this thought only flashed through Wan Renshan's mind, because looking at the gazes of the people around him, he didn't think they were shocked at all.
Instead, it seemed more like confusion and disbelief at how they ended up here.
And it turned out just as he expected.
Right now, almost everyone is staring blankly at one thing.
Wan Renshan has emerged from the Demon-Subduing Hall.
The light at level 59 still hasn't gone out.
Doesn't this mean...?
The one truly attempting the fifty-ninth level, the one they've been anxiously anticipating and waiting for so long, isn't Wan Renshan, but... someone else entirely!?
Previously, many people—no, it should be said that everyone except the old dean and Elder Qi, including the holy masters—believed that Wan Renshan had reached the fifty-ninth level, and they were absolutely certain of their judgment.
Now, they are shocked to discover that they were wrong from the very beginning.
But who else could have reached the fifty-ninth level if not Wan Renshan?
The shock reverberated through everyone's hearts, making them even more puzzled.
Even Wan Renshan has appeared; could there be someone more monstrous than Wan Renshan in the Primordial Holy Heaven?
How is that possible!
" Wan Renshan, which level have you conquered?"
Wenren Nian was the first to not be able to hold back and asked directly.
Upon hearing this, Wan Renshan let out a slight sigh and shook his head, saying, "The forty-fifth level, I haven't reached the forty-sixth."
really...
His words confirmed the suspicions of others.
The person they had high hopes for, who was attempting to conquer the tower, was indeed not Wan Renshan, but someone else entirely.
But who could that person be?
What happened?
The atmosphere among the trainees was really strange. Although Wan Renshan didn't care about the others, he couldn't help but ask.
Wenren Nian's expression was complicated. He shook his head and gestured towards the back of him with his chin.
"You'll see for yourself."
Upon hearing his words, Wan Renshan subconsciously turned his head.
When he saw the Demon-Subduing Hall behind him, the only glimmer of light in the vast darkness, he was struck dumb, frozen in place, his whole body stiff.
Someone actually challenged the tower at the same time as him, and even made it to level 59?
Chaotic thoughts fermented in Wan Renshan's mind, and he finally understood why the others had looked at him so strangely when he first came out.
Because... they saw themselves as someone else, because it was he who made it to level 59, that's why they felt so conflicted when they saw him being teleported out!
only...
Who exactly is attempting to break through the tower?
The others couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
Looking around, almost all of the Ten Saints were here, as were most of the Saint Masters. The only ones missing were the heads of the Inner Court.
"Could it be... that the one currently challenging the tower is a Saint Master from the academy who is absent, or perhaps the two Deans of the Primordial Beginning Institute and the Heaven-Reaching Institute?"
"That's quite possible..."
Everyone speculated.
Among the students, they couldn't think of anyone who could do this, so they could only think of the Holy Master and the two heads of the Primordial Heaven-Reaching Institute.
And just then, the fifty-ninth level finally went out slowly amidst everyone's complicated emotions.
Instead, a new glimmer of light shone forth once more.
Level 60!
Bright!
Everyone's eyes lit up!
They glanced instinctively at the stone tablet beside them, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Sixty levels! Now, they'll finally be able to find out who made the list!
Because that person is about to be listed!
Time ticked by, and as the sixty-first level slowly lit up the stone tablet list that had remained unchanged for a thousand years, things finally changed.
A person's name quietly appears at the end.
But the name that appeared startled everyone, leaving them staring at the stone tablet in disbelief, even in a daze.
They had only one thought in their minds.
How could it be him!
