In the ensuing silence, the last youth of the Heaven-Viewing Saint Sect returned to his original spot.
His lips were drawn up, and he looked dissatisfied.
But those around them felt as if the air around their lips had been stolen, making it difficult to breathe.
It was only because of the slowly fading light on the white jade steps.
No more, no less.
He is exactly seventy-two.
Seventy-two floors.
The final results of the three prodigies of the Heaven-Viewing Saint Sect are now definitively set.
57.
58.
and...
72.
Everyone was stunned, astonished, and incredulous.
But considering the young man's physique, everything seemed normal.
The Heaven-Severing Sacred Physique... If it can't be achieved, then something's not right.
Before the next prodigy could step forward to challenge, a clear, ethereal voice suddenly rang out from the white jade steps where the strange phenomenon was about to dissipate, carrying a faint sense of relief and nostalgia.
"You... are like an old friend returning..."
"Very good."
"Very good."
His tone suddenly shifted, becoming more serious and authoritative.
"Ascend to the seventy-two levels of Heaven-Gazing Ridge, and you may receive the Dharma transmission and be bestowed the Heaven-Gazing Saint Instruction!"
"Enter the blessed land and receive the Dharma."
A spatial fluctuation appeared, right in front of the young man, emanating an extremely mysterious aura.
Even the edges of this spatial fluctuation are engraved with array patterns, making one want to explore it further.
Many people were quite envious of this, taking a deep breath and secretly resenting that they weren't the ones standing there.
But to talk about robbery...
No one really has the guts to do that.
After all, the formation here is constantly in operation.
The space was opened by the spirit of the formation itself.
Who can seize the rewards bestowed upon them from within the Spirit of a Stream?
The young man from the Heaven-Viewing Saint Sect glanced at the spatial fluctuations and slightly raised his chin.
Only then was he somewhat satisfied.
He lifted his leg and strode inside.
Almost instantly, he went in and came out again.
It was only a brief moment, but considering the array on the white jade steps, it was clear that the young man had spent much more than just a short time within that space.
Because after he reappeared, his entire demeanor changed.
From the initial arrogance and frivolity to the current composure, there are many indescribable things in his eyes.
Almost immediately upon seeing this reappearing youth, many cultivators who were already thousands of years old widened their eyes in astonishment.
The sect leaders and masters of the upper sects, in particular, almost lost their composure. Only after they clearly saw who had come out did their hands tremble slightly, forcing themselves to calm down. However, they didn't know whether to exhale the breath that was pressing on their throats.
Jiang Bo's hands trembled, and he subtly hid his palms, his eyes filled with shock and an increasingly intense fervor.
picture!
They look so alike!
When he was young, he saw the Lord of the Heaven-Gazing Domain inside the Image Stone.
These two people now have such a similar temperament!
The resemblance is so striking it's almost suffocating.
That sense of oppression was terrifying!
His grand plan... is by no means empty talk!!
At this moment, the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect faces greater pressure than any other sect.
Seventy-two floors.
Is this a social class that people can climb to...?
What will they have to offer to win?
That's impossible.
There's absolutely no way that's possible.
Even in her prime, Luo Qingxue Luo Qingxue would have difficulty climbing above the seventieth floor, let alone now that she is slightly injured.
"Now..."
The few remaining elders of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect felt their scalps tingle. Looking at the sect leader in front of them, they were speechless for a moment, exchanging bewildered glances.
Qi Zhengliu pursed his lips and looked at Luo Qingxue beside him.
Luo Qingxue's face was also tense.
It's obvious.
As the only prodigy from the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect to participate in the climb, she is under immense pressure to stand in such a prominent position.
The gazes of the other cultivators fixed on her were so intense they could practically scorch her.
But she had nowhere to retreat.
She could only stand still, waiting for her moment to climb and overcome the challenges.
It was pure torture.
" Xian Ni."
With the last young man of the Heaven-Viewing Saint Sect returning to the sect, the leader of the Azure Soaring Daoist Sect made a move.
Her gaze fell softly on the last person, and she called out gently.
A red mole sits between her brows, its crimson hue like fresh snow, shimmering with brilliance, as she dances in white robes.
If it weren't for the fact that her belly, which she was gently protecting, was swollen like that of a woman six months pregnant, many male cultivators would probably have expressed their admiration for her.
Now, seeing the last prodigy of the Azure Soaring Daoist Sect, they felt nothing but disgust. Many even subconsciously took a step back, as if afraid of being tainted by his presence.
Xian Ni, the final prodigy of the Azure Soaring Daoist Sect.
After she came out, the expressions of the sect leaders around her all became extremely solemn.
The woman exuded a mysterious aura that spread outwards.
Like a woman's subtle fragrance, a delicate aroma wafts through the air.
A hint of disgust flashed in Jiang Bo's eyes. He reached out and gently dispersed the surrounding air until he could no longer smell any fragrance before exhaling.
Lei Mingzi grinned widely.
However, he remained silent and restrained.
The reactions from the sect leaders were not good.
The leader of the Azure Soaring Daoist Sect remained calm and composed throughout.
Xian Ni paid no attention to the commotion of those around her.
She gently placed her palm on her lower abdomen, supporting her waist, and began her climb step by step.
at first.
She walked very slowly.
It's like a woman who is six months pregnant.
Be very careful.
Protecting their own children.
But as she began to climb, something surprising happened.
Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded out of nowhere on the entire white jade staircase. There was only a rumble of thunder, without any sign of thunderclouds gathering.
After the thunderclap, a patch of black suddenly spread beneath Xian Ni's feet.
The black color was like ink.
It spread outwards.
It quickly blurred the entire white jade steps.
Wherever she stepped, everything was stained with ink.
This has never happened before.
The white jade steps have never been stained by anyone who has climbed them before.
And the whispered complaints and lamentations scattered, drifting with the white Immortal Spirit energy, captivating the soul.
"Hold fast to your mind!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, a sharp glint in their eyes.
"This is different from Shen Youzi's constitution, be careful!"
Qi Zhengliu stared at Xian Ni's retreating figure, his fists clenched, his expression unusually grim.
As the leader of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect, his vision is unmatched by others.
It's now quite clear that what's happening on the white jade steps is less a phenomenon caused by Xian Ni and more...
It was caused by what was in her belly.
That wasn't rambling.
It's not a Spiritual Qi phenomenon.
The person walking on the steps was no longer, in the eyes of these sect leaders, the pregnant Azure Soaring Daoist Sect's prodigy Xian Ni.
Instead, it was a... immortal with broken bones, climbing upwards step by step, bit by bit.
It seems they want to use this white jade platform to return to heaven...
