It is truly an excellent place for tempering oneself.
Every step on the stairway feels like being forged repeatedly under imnse pressure.
Over and over, this forging leads to an unusual spiritual transformation.
"The last three steps!" he murmurs, looking ahead.
Then, he takes another step forward, reaching the ninety-eighth step.
Boom!!
In an instant.
A vast pressure descends as if a mountain collapses.
He feels the world around him shake, as if the ground beneath him is trembling.
For a mont, he has an illusion, feeling as if his body has been forced down by a centiter.
As the strongest wave of pressure passes, he steadies himself, closes his eyes, and quietly endures the subsequent spiritual pressure.
After a long while.
He opens his eyes.
His gaze becos brighter.
As if the sun and moon are flickering within his eyes.
"The final two steps, I should be steady now!"
A slight smile appears on his lips.
Only now, with two steps left, is he fully confident that the intensity of his spirit body has truly reached the level of the Yang God.
Just then.
"Junior Brother Jiang Ning!" a pleasant voice calls from afar behind him.
Jiang Ning imdiately turns around.
He sees at the base of the Heavenly Ladder.
Shen Yueru stands tall in her red dress.
"Senior Sister Shen!" he smiles instantly.
"Junior Brother Jiang Ning, you’re truly impressive to stand at the ninety-eighth step!" Shen Yueru smiles with her eyes.
Even though it is only their second eting, she feels a strong familiarity with Jiang Ning.
"Senior Sister Shen, I’ll wait for you here!" Jiang Ning says.
"No need!" Shen Yueru shakes her head and says, "Junior Brother, climb freely, I’ll catch up to you on the second level!"
Hearing Shen Yueru’s confident words.
Jiang Ning chuckles, "Alright, I’ll wait for you on the second level of the Heavenly Ladder!"
"Junior Brother, make sure to conquer the last two steps!" Shen Yueru continues, "Ascend to the hundredth step, enter the second level of the Heavenly Ladder, and you’ll receive the reward set by the Shangyang Immortal Sect!"
"Thank you for telling , Senior Sister!" Jiang Ning bows from afar.
Shen Yueru laughs, "Junior Brother, you’d better hurry, don’t let overtake you!"
At this mont, Jiang Ning can see the confidence in Shen Yueru’s brow.
It seems that within just a month, Shen Yueru has undergone so kind of transformation.
This transformation makes her exude confidence.
"Could it be that Senior Sister Shen has claid the position of Chieftain?" Reflecting on what Shen Yueru said a month ago, the thought flashes through Jiang Ning’s mind.
Then.
He clears his mind of distractions and looks at the long curtain of white mist within reach.
The boundary from the ninety-ninth to the hundredth step is shrouded in incredibly thick white mist.
And now he stands on the ninety-eighth step.
Just two steps away from the hundredth step.
In the next mont.
He lifts his right leg and sets it on the ninety-ninth step.
Boom!
With a roar, he steadies himself, and after adjusting, he once again climbs towards the hundredth step shrouded in mist.
Boom——
One step forward, as if traversing heaven and earth.
The scene before him suddenly opens up, with no trace of mist obscuring the next dozens of steps.
And at this mont, he also feels the pressure sweep over like a tidal wave, as if the world is collapsing.
One wave after another, becoming endless.
anwhile.
Bai Li, who is halfway through, hears the movent behind and turns around.
She imdiately sees Jiang Ning erging from the white mist.
Here, every hundred steps constitute a level.
And now, Jiang Ning has reached the second level just as she has.
"The strength of the spirit is on par with the Yang God. It seems this Junior Brother will quickly achieve the Yang God upon returning!"
"The geniuses of the Human Clan are truly endless!"
Bai Li secretly marvels in her heart.
Here, she finds that the young generation she encounters among the Human Clan, even compared to her, stands on equal footing.
And she is a descendant of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox lineage, and can also be considered an Emperor Clan descendant.
Her bloodline is extraordinarily noble.
Among the Demon Clan of various domains, few can match her noble lineage.
"Since ancient tis, our clan has completely declined."
She shakes her head quietly.
Then she retracts her gaze, firmly looking at the remaining dozens of steps.
"This ti, I will definitely break through!" her thoughts stir, stepping forward with determination.
anwhile.
Enduring an endless pressure.
Jiang Ning felt his body under the pressure, as if it was about to fall apart.
Yet he could also sense that under this imnse pressure, his body was undergoing a transformation bit by bit.
This transformation was slow, but it was happening perpetually.
He did not know how much ti had passed.
Suddenly, the pressure vanished.
He opened his eyes at once.
Ha—
...
After several deep breaths, the suffocating feeling he had disappeared.
At that mont.
He felt a formless fluctuation in the void descend.
Then, this fluctuation communicated with his Heart Spirit, instantly conveying relevant information.
[Congratulations to Jiang Zhen for reaching the second level of the Heavenly Ladder, three awards available to choose from.]
Afterwards,
three clusters of light appeared before him.
The light clusters were shrouded in white mist, hazy and indistinct.
Jiang Ning reached out to touch the first light cluster.
The corresponding information instantly transmitted into his mind.
[Earth Elent Qi, contains rule fragnts from the Five Elents’ Earth Elent, absorbing and refining it may allow the condensation of an Earth Elent Flower.]
Earth Elent Qi?
Upon encountering the information contained in the first light cluster, Jiang Ning’s eyes flickered.
He imdiately thought of Bai Li’s gift just now.
Which was Gold Elent Qi.
"This should be an Immortal Dao treasure!" he muttered to himself.
Although the information he received was scarce, through various understandings, he had roughly outlined the Immortal Dao in his mind.
Immortal Root growing, condensing Dao Flowers, yielding Dao Fruits.
This was the path after reaching the true Immortal Dao Domain.
He previously witnessed the towering tree revealed by the Moon Palace Goddess within the Divine Woman Statue at the Water Moon Sword Palace.
It was a giant laurel tree that overshadowed the sky.
Upon the laurel tree, a few fruits were hanging.
Previously, he didn’t understand it.
Now, he understood.
To blossom and bear fruit.
That is the Dao Fruit.
And Gold Elent Qi, Earth Elent Qi seed to be the nurturing materials for Dao Flowers.
His thoughts turned, looking at the first light cluster, and he felt quite moved.
He didn’t know where the vanished Gold Elent Qi had gone, but he understood that from the introduction of Earth Elent Qi, it must be a rare treasure in the world.
For those in the Immortal Dao, it was a top-tier treasure.
Its relevance to the road after becoming an immortal proved its value alone.
Afterwards, he suppressed his eager heart and reached out to touch the second light cluster.
[Divine Soul Crystal Stone, a unique product of the Inner Realm, consuming it and refining it can increase spiritual strength.]
Receiving the information from the second light cluster, Jiang Ning’s eyes flickered again.
Divine Soul Crystal Stone, the introduction was extrely clear and straightforward, a special miraculous item that enhances spiritual strength.
Moreover, it seed to be a unique miraculous item produced by the Inner Realm.
He did not know how effective this thing was.
So its priority in his heart was not high.
Not as important as Earth Elent Qi in his view.
Then he reached out to touch the third light cluster.
A ssage instantly transmitted into his mind.
[Breathing Soil, a special soil from the Inner Realm, can cultivate Immortal Roots, speeding up growth.]
After receiving this information, a trace of surprise flashed across Jiang Ning’s eyes.
Cultivate Immortal Roots, speeding up growth.
After making a guess in his heart just now, he considered how to accelerate the growth of Immortal Roots.
Up till now, the only way he knew to stimulate the Immortal Root’s growth was by breaking through the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.
The last breakthrough caused the Immortal Root to grow to a length of three inches and one.
Apart from this, he found no other thod.
His eyes flickered, and he fell into deep thought.
Afterwards,
he reached out towards the third light cluster.
With the dispersal of the light cluster, a handful of black soil appeared in his hand.
"This is Breathing Soil!" looking at the ordinary soil in his hand, he murmured.
"But how should this thing be used?" A new doubt arose in his heart.
At that mont, as his thoughts turned,
the handful of Breathing Soil began to rge into his palm, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Like the Gold Elent Qi Bai Li gave him before.
"Once again!" His eyes moved, and he imdiately closed his eyes.
Then his Heart Spirit scanned around, detecting no abnormalities just as before.
