Easier said than done.
Using heart demons to test willpower was somewhat too dangerous.
Many sect leaders had strong objections to this matter.
But thinking of Zhou Song, whose divine soul had been casually expelled before,
most sect leaders could only forcibly suppress their anger.
Even so, quite a few still continued to try.
But over ninety percent of sect leaders were stopped at the first step of the stairway.
This caused many to hesitate.
Qian Li Zhenren and Dan Ting stood silently to the side, watching the scene.
They began telepathic communication.
Dan Ting: “Immortal Lord, judging by the current situation, I’m afraid not one of these sect leaders can reach fifty steps.”
Qian Li Zhenren: “That’s for the best. Our Taiyan Dao immortal artifacts aren’t just handed out casually.”
Upon hearing this,
Dan Ting lowered his head silently.
Since the Ascension Stairway had been revealed, he had already expected this.
Perhaps Qian Li Zhenren did not intend to give away all these immortal artifacts.
After all, across all Taiyan Dao, those who could climb fifty steps on the stairway were fewer than one hand’s count.
Just judging by these sect leaders here, it was very unlikely.
But Dan Ting was quite surprised.
Why would Qian Li Zhenren bring out the Four Symbols Ink Bamboo Robe?
This immortal robe was truly peculiar.
Perhaps sensing Dan Ting’s gaze,
Qian Li Zhenren telepathically said again, “Don’t look anymore. Our people can’t use this robe.
It’s better to take it out as a gimmick.
Today, I want to tell these sect leaders
that Taiyan Dao’s foundation is beyond their imagination!
Only in this way, when the time comes to eliminate Sanshi Hall,
if sufficient benefits are offered,
they will willingly serve us.”
A trace of sorrow flashed in Dan Ting’s eyes.
But he still replied, “Immortal Lord, your wisdom is profound.”
After a while, when most sect leaders had failed,
their eyes fixed tightly upward.
So far, only two remained on the Ascension Stairway.
One had reached the twenty-seventh step,
the other the twenty-first.
Perhaps only these two would ultimately succeed.
Zheng Nuanxiu, seeing how difficult the stairway was, also felt like giving up.
“I originally wanted to try, but now forget it.
Since so many immortals can’t ascend, I guess I can’t either. So I won’t try.”
“I’ll go!”
Ye Yu strode straight forward.
Because he saw Duan Yangfeng had also started to move.
Seeing this, Zhuo Lanqing was slightly stunned.
She had thought Ye Yu had no intention to try the stairway, otherwise how could he have never stepped forward?
But why the sudden change?
Without hesitation, Zhuo Lanqing followed him.
Zheng Nuanxiu saw the area was empty and started forward.
“Wait for me, I’m coming too.”
Soon,
Ye Yu and Duan Yangfeng simultaneously reached the foot of the stairway.
When many sect leaders saw both were at Earth Immortal Realm,
they couldn’t help but shake their heads slightly.
What a joke.
Although Qian Li Zhenren said the stairway didn’t look at cultivation, only willpower,
everyone believed the higher one’s realm, the firmer the will.
Even Heavenly Immortal Realm immortals couldn’t pass the first step.
Why should you two Earth Immortal Realm mortals?
Ye Yu and Duan Yangfeng ignored the surrounding gazes and stepped onto the first stair together.
In an instant,
a terrifying pressure struck,
causing Ye Yu’s figure to stiffen.
Immediately, a blood-red figure appeared before him,
continuously condensing, trying to form a human shape.
But Ye Yu hesitated not in the slightest.
He directly activated the Taichu Xuan Gong, instantly breaking through the heart demon.
As the top immortal technique of Taichu Pavilion,
Taichu Xuan Gong was the most righteous, perfect for countering heart demons.
To outsiders,
Ye Yu seemed to ascend the first step without any pause, then immediately stepped onto the second.
This scene left everyone present stunned.
How was this possible?
Was someone really able to proceed so smoothly?
Could there be a problem with the Ascension Stairway?
Remember, even the person who reached the twenty-seventh step had stayed on the first step for a whole incense stick’s time.
Why was Ye Yu so fast?
Not only did many sect leaders feel puzzled,
but even ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) Qian Li Zhenren and Dan Ting found it incredible.
The heart demons on the first step were extremely difficult to deal with.
How could he be so special?
What was even more unexpected was that after stepping onto the second step,
Ye Yu immediately pressed forward onto the third.
Then the fourth, fifth, sixth...
Charging forward like a sharp axe through bamboo.
In just a short time, he left the first-place twenty-seventh step immortal far behind.
At this moment,
Duan Yangfeng, who ascended the stairway with him, had only reached the tenth step.
Although Duan Yangfeng’s performance was also impressive,
he was still far behind Ye Yu.
Below the stairway,
Zhuo Lanqing watched that figure above,
a strange thought arising in her heart.
Ye Yu was indeed different from ordinary immortals.
Perhaps she could never surpass him in this lifetime.
But she wanted to try to follow in his footsteps,
even if only to watch from afar behind him.
Zhuo Lanqing took a deep breath and then stepped onto the first stair.
Zheng Nuanxiu had originally wanted to talk with Zhuo Lanqing.
But seeing her already ascend,
“No way!
You can’t leave me behind alone!”
Zheng Nuanxiu also stepped onto the stairway.
This scene almost drove the surrounding sect leaders crazy.
Crazy, crazy.
First, Earth Immortal Realm cultivators sped ahead,
then even Xuan Immortal Realm and True Immortal Realm immortals dared to try.
What’s going on, is there really no one left in the Heavenly Realm?
Even newcomers dare to try the Ascension Stairway?
Wait.
Why did these two fairies suddenly take another step upward together?
Watching Zheng Nuanxiu and Zhuo Lanqing’s figures stably stop at the third step,
the venue instantly froze.
Everyone began to deeply reflect.
This proved that everything Qian Li Zhenren said was true.
The Ascension Stairway did not test strength, but willpower.
Well then, if so,
is the willpower of Heavenly Immortal Realm immortals not as strong as that of a Xuan Immortal Realm or even True Immortal Realm fairy?
What a tremendous joke!
A serious expression appeared on Qian Li Zhenren’s face.
He telepathically instructed, “Dan Ting, who is the immortal currently highest on the stairway? Which sect is he from? Investigate all his information as soon as possible.
If he is a sect leader from a small sect, have him change allegiance and join Taiyan Dao.
An immortal with such willpower should not be buried.”
Dan Ting wore a troubled expression and replied,
“Immortal Lord, that person indeed comes from a small sect, but he is not the sect leader.
His sect leader is also ascending the stairway at this moment!”
