"You really can't let me go up?"
Su Mu stopped playing chess. His opponent had already predicted Su Mu's moves every time. No matter how powerful AlphaGo was, it couldn't compare to the opponent's Law Technique.
The illusory figure shook its head, completely unconcerned about Su Mu's attitude.
Su Mu glanced at the spot where they were about to reach the summit, and then said.
"Then I'll ask the question."
Seeing Lu Ziming and the others' Dao Scripture, Su Mu felt confident that he could directly reach the summit on the path of Dao Inquiry.
The illusory figure frowned upon hearing this. "Have you made up your mind? If you choose another path, it's like starting all over again. Reaching level ninety-eight is not bad, and you can obtain quite a few treasures."
Su Mu's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this.
"It's decided."
Having studied so many Dao Scripture, he simply refused to believe that he could be defeated on his journey of seeking the Dao.
Seeing Su Mu's certainty, the illusory figure didn't say anything more and simply waved its hand.
The next moment, Su Mu appeared directly on the steps leading to the Inquiry Platform.
"Is this guy an idiot? Even if he can't reach the top, reaching the ninety-eighth step is already extremely good. How could he lack treasures?"
"Yes, if it were me, I wouldn't start over. Reaching the ninety-eighth step isn't that easy."
The other cultivators nearby also heard these words.
Seeing that Su Mu actually chose to start over, they could only think that this Holy Son had something wrong with his head.
I heard that this guy used to Dao Scripture study and comprehend Daoist scriptures. Surely he doesn't think he has a profound understanding of the Tao?
If that's the case, then it's utterly ridiculous.
Looking at Su Mu, Ruan Wenyou frowned. She also felt that Su Mu's actions were really too stupid.
Ninety-eight steps—no one else had ever reached that height before.
Su Mu has already achieved something remarkable; why should he start all over again?
Amidst the strange looks from the crowd, Su Mu accepted the first test of the inquiry.
What puzzled Su Mu was that nothing unusual seemed to happen as he stood on the Inquiry Steps.
Unbeknownst to Su Mu, the blue light on his Dao Lotus was flickering erratically.
Seeing that nothing seemed to be happening around him, Su Mu tentatively continued walking upwards.
Stepping onto the airy steps is effortless and unobstructed.
Upon seeing this, Su Mu finally realized something. After noticing the movement of the Dao Lotus in his Divine Sense, a smile couldn't help but appear on Su Mu's lips.
It seems that asking this question along the way has made things much easier for him.
Knowing that the Dao Lotus was at work, Su Mu immediately created a cloud of doubt.
After closing his eyes and pondering for a moment on the steps, Su Mu then revealed a disdainful smile and continued upwards.
With this attitude, Su Mu encountered no obstacles along the way and continued to climb higher.
The cultivators on the sidelines didn't pay much attention at first, but when they saw Su Mu following behind, he was unstoppable.
They didn't linger on any of the steps for long, just kept going up, which left many people stunned.
This guy, how come he feels absolutely no pressure as he keeps going uphill?
What's going on?
Could this guy really be that skilled in the underworld?
But upon further reflection, yes.
If the other party didn't have any special skills, how could they have said something like "following the crowd leads to mediocrity, while defying it leads to immortality" before?
His words further disturbed the resolve of many.
Moreover, if he truly didn't possess any skill, this guy would absolutely not dare to step into the Daoist realm.
I just don't know how far this guy can go.
The crowd stared at Su Mu, their minds filled with a myriad of thoughts.
At this moment, an inconspicuous Rogue Cultivator below stared intently at Su Mu's back, his face filled with excitement.
"How could I possibly be him?"
A soft voice transmission sounded, and a cultivator in the distance nodded slightly.
"Although he is the Holy Son of the Demonic Dao, judging from the timeline, it is indeed possible that it is him. Don't rush, let's see if he can reach the top first."
At this moment, both of their attention was focused on Su Mu.
Su Mu, however, was completely unaware of this.
After all, there were just too many people staring at him right now, so he wouldn't have noticed those two unusual gazes.
Su Mu continued his ascent without pause, and heard no instructions on how to ask questions.
At this moment, however, Dao Lotus was constantly flashing with azure light.
Half an incense stick later, Su Mu took a small step and arrived at the ninety-eighth step again.
When did Immortal Ascension Steps become so easy?
The crowd below watched as Su Mu Su Mu ascended to the ninety-eighth step again, even though he had previously appeared to ascend with remarkable ease.
But seeing it now, I still can't help but find it absurd.
When did Immortal Ascension Steps become so easy?
At this moment, the illusory figure in front of Su Mu Su Mu had been waiting for a long time.
"I never imagined you possessed such a Daoist heart."
The illusory figure looked at Su Mu with obvious surprise.
"Enough with the nonsense, what's the final hurdle?" Su Mu wasn't going to be too patient with this guy who had previously tried so hard to stop him from reaching the top.
You've passed the final hurdle.
The illusory figure shook its head, stepped aside, and let them pass.
Su Mu was stunned upon seeing this. What did it mean?
That's it for the final level? Did you pass it right away?
You don't have to do anything yourself? What kind of game is that?
He was able to reach the lower steps so easily because of his Dao Lotus. Why was the final challenge so easy for him this time?
Could it be because I Dao Lotus again?
Su Mu was filled with curiosity, while the cultivators below were also in an uproar.
None of them expected that Su Mu would actually pass this final test!
The problem is, neither of them knows why the other side approved it.
Amidst the curious gazes of the crowd below, Su Mu ascended directly to the top and then disappeared from their sight.
At this moment, the two Rogue Cultivator below were flushed with excitement.
After exchanging a glance, they quietly withdrew from the Immortal Ascension Steps.
At this moment, Su Mu Su Mu found himself on a platform shrouded in celestial clouds. He didn't see any treasures around him, which greatly disappointed him.
Where are those Law Treasure and Spirit Stone he was hoping for?
Where did they all go?
Just as Su Mu was feeling disappointed, "Wasn't there a treasure? Where is it?"
Su Mu looked around and suddenly saw what appeared to be a flash of spiritual light ahead.
Upon seeing this, Su Mu Su Mu rushed forward, and what she saw next made her eyes widen in disbelief.
Among the countless tiny lights ahead, it seemed that each one held a supreme treasure.
