Unlike the other disciples who were puzzled and speculated about the matter.
The leader of the Divine Nether Sect was dressed in black, with an unremarkable face; he would probably be easily overlooked in a crowd.
But he stood beside Jiang Bo, glanced at him with a cold look, and let out a sneer.
"It seems... your Heaven-Viewing Saint Sect has really made quite a few preparations this time."
Jiang Bo but remained silent, revealing nothing.
The leader of the Divine Nether Sect didn't care about this.
He turned his head again, looking towards the vicinity of the white jade steps, and spoke softly.
"Fifty-eight floors, that's really good."
"But I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"This time, the champion of Heaven-Gazing Ridge can only be from my Divine Nether Sect!"
The Heaven-Viewing Saint Sect and the Divine Nether Sect are the first and second ranked sects in the Heaven-Gazing Domain. They seem to get along well, and their leaders usually discuss matters together. However, in reality, their relationship is not very friendly.
One of them inherited the original Heaven-Gazing Sacred Sect.
One of them was the largest vassal force of the Heaven-Gazing Sacred Sect when it still existed.
After the fall of the Heaven-Gazing Sacred Sect, both sides vied for the right to inherit the Heaven-Gazing Sacred Sect's mantle in the Heaven-Gazing Domain.
That is why.
The competition for the title of number one at Heaven-Gazing Ridge has been quite fierce in recent years.
Because if they can win first place, it will mean that their faction is the strongest in the Heaven-Gazing Domain.
It allows you to receive more Spiritual Qi feedback.
It can be recognized by more cultivators in the Heaven-Gazing Domain.
This would allow them to legitimately claim the title of "descendant of the Heaven-Gazing Sacred Sect ".
The two sides are irreconcilably at odds over this matter.
However, after the leader of the Divine Nether Sect spoke, the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Divine Nether Sect, one of the three they sent out, did not move.
The woman who emerged was wearing a purple veil.
Her eyebrows and eyes were faint, and one could vaguely see her beautiful face beneath the veil, but the haziness only added to her charm.
The Divine Nether Sect looked only at her, ignoring everyone else, and said, "Go, Shen You."
Shen You.
The moment those two words were uttered, everyone around them turned to look.
A hint of surprise appeared on Jiang Bo's face.
"You used your sect's name..."
"So what?" the sect leader of the Divine Nether Sect said casually, not taking the matter to heart at all. Instead, a smile appeared on his lips as he confidently stated, "She is worthy. She is the Shen Youzi, a talent that our Divine Nether Sect has only seen once in thousands of years!"
"Old Jiang, you'd better open your eyes and take a good look."
The leader of the Divine Nether Sect didn't say much.
But the satisfaction with himself, Shen Youzi, was obvious to anyone in his eyes.
What he didn't say was that Shen Youzi was someone he had secretly groomed.
So much so that after all this time, this is the first time anyone has ever heard of such a person.
From the moment she was born, her talent was discovered, and she was sent to the Divine Nether Sect. He took her in and carefully nurtured her, treating her like his own daughter.
But what he had the most hope for was Shen Youzi's physique.
The Netherworld Physique.
The Divine Nether Sect was once a sect that existed under the Heaven-Gazing Sacred Sect. It did not practice the Heaven-Gazing Sacred Sect's Cultivation Method and was merely a vassal force.
It has its own unique Cultivation Method.
That is, Nether God Secret Method.
Unfortunately, the Heaven-Gazing Sacred Sect perished, the Central Continent Plains were divided, countless wars raged across multiple realms, and the Spiritual Qi of the Heaven-Gazing Domain declined...
A series of upheavals occurred, and tens of thousands of years passed. The number of cultivators who could practice the Secret Method of their Divine Nether Sect became fewer and fewer. In the end, they could not be found at all. After all, only the Netherworld Physique was the most suitable physique, capable of cultivating the Nether God Secret Method of the Netherworld Sect to the great mastery level.
Even now, the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Divine Nether Sect do not practice the Nether God Secret Method Cultivation Method.
Only Shen Youzi.
Only her.
The Netherworld Physique and the Nether God Secret Method are perfectly matched. This is the Divine Nether Sect's trump card, its last trump card, secretly cultivated for many years, all for this day.
Moreover, the mysterious techniques of the Netherworld Sect are not only the foundation of the Netherworld Sect, but also one of the few complete ancient sacred techniques that have been passed down since tens of thousands of years ago, before the Heavenly Observation Sect had perished.
Its value is self-evident.
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and only Shen Youzi has achieved mastery of it.
The sect leader of the Divine Nether Sect, while raising her, decisively invested heavily in her upbringing and named her Shen Youzi.
The Divine Nether Sect, the Shen Youzi, the Netherworld Physique, the Nether God Secret Method, and the soon-to-be-opened Heaven-Gazing Ridge...
At that time, he felt that everything was going so naturally.
It was like an incredible stroke of luck that had simply fallen into his lap.
With the opening of Heaven-Gazing Ridge this time, who else but the Divine Nether Sect deserves first place?
Shen Youzi, glancing lightly at the others around him without revealing the slightest emotion. He then lifted his leg and stepped onto the white jade steps.
Climb the steps.
It's like climbing to heaven.
In fact, for cultivators, ascending to heaven is much easier than climbing stairs.
The strange phenomenon began to condense not long after Shen Youzi began ascending the steps.
However, it differs from the extraordinary phenomena manifested by the holy sons and daughters of the Heaven-Viewing Saint Sect.
The golden hue that had been filling the sky had been completely swept away after Shen Youzi ascended the steps and conjured the strange phenomenon, replaced by a sky full of dark purple.
As if descending from the underworld, a vast expanse of dark purple covered the sky, with howling, struggling, and mournful cries echoing endlessly.
Apart from Shen Youzi, who was ascending the steps and remained unaffected, many other cultivators changed their expressions.
They felt that their minds were being disturbed, that inner demons were growing, and that they were finding it difficult to stay focused.
Many people were shocked and took several steps back, instinctively looking in the direction of the Divine Nether Sect.
If they didn't know that the Divine Nether Sect wouldn't attack them in such a place, and that their inner demons could be easily suppressed without causing much of a problem, they would all have thought that the Divine Nether Sect had been controlled by the Demonic Sect and had come specifically to trigger their inner demons!
What kind of constitution is this?
That's insane!
However, this was something the leader of the Divine Nether Sect had not anticipated.
He was somewhat surprised, but then his smile deepened.
" The Netherworld Physique, truly worthy of its Netherworld Physique!"
It's rare for anyone else to be as calm as him.
Including Jiang Bo.
He never expected that the Divine Nether Sect would quietly cultivate such a monster!
"This is... the Myriad Ages Netherworld Physique?" He stared at Shen Youzi for a long time before finally drawing a conclusion, his tone somewhat solemn, "Your sect probably hasn't seen this physique for tens of thousands of years."
He also became a little more cautious.
Myriad Ages Netherworld...
That old man actually found it.
Jiang Bo's Shen You as he looked at Shen Youzi, who was climbing.
If nothing unexpected happens...
Shen Youzi, the trump card of the Divine Nether Sect, has unlimited potential for future achievements. He could even become Saint King... no, Saint Lord!
Thinking of this, Jiang Bo's eyes flickered, and he spoke softly, "If I remember correctly, the founding ancestor of the Divine Nether Sect should have had the same physique. It's just a pity that fate is unpredictable. He was only one step away from becoming Saint Lord, but he ultimately fell in the outer realms."
These words revealed Shen Youzi's physical constitution and identity, leaving everyone who heard them staring in disbelief.
Saint Lord!?
They stared in disbelief at the slightly petite and frail figure climbing the mountain.
The Divine Nether Sect... actually possessed such a deadly weapon!?
