Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 40
Chapter 40: This Boy Finally Didn’t Disappoint Me
As the words fell, everyone quickly retreated.
Several people with lower cultivation bases, whose speed was not that fast, had not yet reacted when they were enveloped by the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi. The next moment, their bodies began to decay, and they fell to the ground with screams.
That clump of Nine Nether Bl00d Qi also dissipated somewhat.
Seeing this, Ye Yu looked up at the remaining light on the mountain peak. This Nine Nether Bl00d Qi was only overflowing; there was no follow-up replenishment.
The true Nine Nether Bl00d Spring should be sealed on the mountain peak.
“This is the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi. It doesn’t seem as terrifying as the rumors say,” Liu Ruyun mumbled, saying.
Then, she looked at Ye Yu as if she had discovered a new continent, with a look of understanding.
“Sure enough, the terror of the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring was fabricated by someone with ulterior motives. ”
Not only Liu Ruyun, but everyone present frowned at the clump of Nine Nether Bl00d Qi in front of them. Some of them had actually seen the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring.
This Nine Nether Bl00d Qi was indeed somewhat weak.
However, no matter how weak this Nine Nether Bl00d Qi was, it blocked the mountain gate, preventing them from going up.
“This is only a small amount of Nine Nether Bl00d Qi. Everyone, let’s form a formation together and disperse it,” Ye Xuan quickly said.
Immediately, many people joined hands, and spiritual energy howled in front of the mountain gate, gradually pushing that clump of Nine Nether Bl00d Qi elsewhere, revealing the entire mountain gate.
Seeing the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi that was so easily resolved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and immediately had a feeling of surviving a disaster.
If this Nine Nether Bl00d Qi were a little bigger and denser, let alone obtaining a chance encounter in this Secret Realm, it would be a problem whether they could leave alive.
The long stone stairs gradually appeared before everyone.
Many people eagerly went up.
When someone climbed the stone stairs, the entire staircase trembled violently, followed by an explosion of dazzling golden light. The outer shell of the entire staircase began to peel off at this moment.
It revealed jade-white steps, leading all the way to the mountain peak.
“This is the Ascending Heaven Ladder recorded in the texts,” Qin Ruoxian said in surprise.
According to ancient texts, to join the Sacred Alchemy Sect, one needs to undergo the baptism of the Ascending Heaven Ladder. This is also a means by which the Sacred Alchemy Sect tests the disciples’ talent; the higher one climbs, the better the talent is proven to be.
Only those who are recognized by the Ascending Heaven Ladder can enter the Sacred Alchemy Sect.
Inside the Secret Realm, while everyone was still marveling at the Ascending Heaven Ladder, outside the Secret Realm had already become a mess.
The Various Forces who had received the news had already gathered here. Experts like Si Tu Guang, a Nascent Soul Mid Stage expert, could only be considered among the lower ranks at this moment.
Emperors of various Empires and Sect Masters had all arrived.
After all, a Cave Mansion where a Void Refinement Stage expert had seemingly passed away was enough to drive them crazy.
“Everyone, the news is unclear at the moment. It’s best for us to work together to find out clearly. What do you think? ” Ye Fan looked around at the people and said.
“I think it’s feasible. After we find out the situation inside, we can discuss how to allocate the things, right? ” An Emperor of an Empire from Leizhou walked out and said.
The situation inside is unclear. This is indeed the best approach right now, and many people immediately agreed.
Seeing that most people agreed, Ye Fan nodded and said, “Rumor has it that Qingyun Sect has a Secret Treasure that can ignore restrictions and spatial obstacles to view the situation inside. I wonder if the Qingyun Sect Master would be willing to use it? ”
Qingyun Sect Master Leng Qianqiu nodded after hearing this, then turned her palm over, and an ancient bronze mirror appeared in her hand.
“This thing is called the Sky Peering Mirror. It requires an extremely large amount of spiritual energy to activate it. I hope everyone will help. ”
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
In the current situation, if someone jumped out and said they were willing to consume spiritual energy to activate the Sky Peering Mirror by themselves, they would be a fool.
Ye Fan’s gaze swept over the Sky Peering Mirror, greed flashing in his eyes, and then he said, “In that case, please activate the Secret Treasure, Sect Master Leng. ”
Leng Qianqiu nodded after hearing this, then made a hand seal, a golden light swept across the Sky Peering Mirror, and it then floated up and landed in mid-air. “Now, please infuse spiritual energy. ”
All the heads of the Forces made a move together, and the vast and powerful spiritual energy was continuously infused into the Sky Peering Mirror.
The light on the Sky Peering Mirror became even stronger. The next moment, a buzzing sound erupted, and then a huge light curtain appeared before everyone.
After the light curtain stabilized, the situation inside the Secret Realm was exposed to everyone.
“Sacred Alchemy Sect!!! ”
Someone immediately exclaimed.
The name of the Sacred Alchemy Sect was not only recorded in Qingzhou but also in Yunlei Two States. They never expected that the ruins in this Secret Realm were actually the Saint Dan Sect Ruins.
“Is that the Ascending Heaven Ladder? ” Everyone’s gaze was attracted by the long stone stairs.
Then, Ye Yu and the others in front of the mountain gate were also exposed to everyone’s gaze.
Qin Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were alright.
“I see that the descendants or disciples of all of you are trying to climb the ladder. If we forcefully break the seal at this moment, it may cause spatial instability, and the people inside will also be in danger. Let’s observe for a while, shall we? ” Leng Qianqiu suggested.
As she spoke, Leng Qianqiu secretly crushed a Jade Talisman and sent a message back.
The appearance of the Saint Dan Sect Ruins will inevitably lead to contention. Without absolute certainty, one cannot act rashly.
Not only Leng Qianqiu had this idea; several forces with strong foundations nodded in agreement.
Although other forces were unwilling, they could only accept it.
“Look, someone is climbing the ladder! ” Suddenly, someone exclaimed, and everyone forgot about everything else, their eyes fixed on the light curtain.
Each of them was hoping that their own forces’ person would be the first to enter the Sacred Alchemy Sect. At that time, the benefits obtained would surely be the greatest.
“Let’s go, let’s try climbing the Ascending Heaven Ladder too. ” Ye Yu said to Qin Ruoxian, then followed the crowd onto the Ascending Heaven Ladder.
The moment he stepped onto it, Ye Yu felt a pressure rushing towards him, and his spiritual energy seemed to be completely sealed at this moment.
“This Ascending Heaven Ladder doesn’t seem to allow us to use spiritual energy,” Qin Ruoxian said in surprise.
“Perhaps they think that this is the only way to better test talent,” Ye Yu shrugged indifferently and continued to climb.
At first, everyone’s progress was about the same, but gradually, the gap widened.
Many people stopped at the three hundredth step and could not go up even one more step.
By the five hundredth step, only one-third of the people remained.
Those outside watching with the Sky Peering Mirror were all praising repeatedly.
Those who entered the Secret Realm were not necessarily the top of their generation in their respective forces, but they were all outstanding individuals.
Yet, more than half of them were eliminated at only five hundred steps.
The high threshold of the Sacred Alchemy Sect for recruiting disciples is evident. It truly deserves to be the former hegemon of Qingzhou!
“Someone has reached the seven hundredth step! ”
As someone exclaimed in surprise, everyone’s gaze was fixed on the figure at the highest point.
After seeing his face clearly, the corner of Ye Fan’s mouth slightly rose, and he proudly said, “Not bad, this boy finally didn’t disappoint me. “
