Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1364: Reaching the Peak
Tang Xiu led the way and advanced again. His pace did not slow down and was even one level faster. Although he could feel the pressure on her becoming a little bigger, it was unbearable for him. He then quickly caught up with the Heroic Sword Venerable on the 7000th step.
How did this happen ?!
The Honorable Sword Hero noticed that Tang Xiu was chasing and was shocked. Due to his shock, his footing staggered and he was almost forced back by the great force pressing on the next step.
A smile crept in Tang Xiu's mouth and he lightly said, “Humans shouldn't be too arrogant since one can slap his face after bragging. You know, wanting to be a leader and the most dazzling person in the fifth generation would only be a dream. ”
With that said, Tang Xiu took another step and took over His Majesty's Hero Sword. He went straight to the 7,201 stairs. Much to the chagrin of the Heroic Sword Venerable, he kept a longer distance from the man and he only took a little over a day to climb up the 8,000th step.
There, he turned around and looked down.
Tang Xiu saw the Sword of the Honored Hero facing difficulties in advancing. Looking at his furious eyes, he gave the middle finger of the man and disdainfully laughed. “Hahaha, pebbles want to compete with pearls? You really stretch yourself. ”
Puah …
The Noble Sword Hero gushed out a mouthful of blood after hearing Tang Xiu's ridicule. He trembled violently with hatred, knelt on one knee, and then could barely stabilize his body.
The bridge.
The Thousands of Gods were completely shocked by Tang Xiu's performance. After continuous investigation between them, they finally found Tang Xiu's name: Great Sky Emperor Tang. However, none of them knew where this Great Sky Emperor Tang came from, and what sect or power he came from.
“Did this Heavenly Great Tang Emperor take out a stone or something? Just his talent and cultivation alone was enough for him to gain fame in the Eternal World, right? But why had no one heard of this person before? ”
“Is this Great Tang Emperor his real name? I've never heard this name before. Could it be that he was a peerless genius secretly cared for by a super sect and now he had just started adventuring in the Eternal World? ”
“He is completely against the order of nature! If he had not stayed too long on the 6,000th step, he could have already crossed the bridge and reached the Drunken Eternal Palace, right? ”
“He's so young, I can feel that he's really young. Yet such a young man had an enormous potential that was unimaginable. Could it be that he will obtain the legacy of the Drunken Immortal Supreme? ”
“That's terrible! He was fast, much faster than the other trial participants. It was like the spatial pressure on the bridge had no effect on him. ”
“There are quite a number of talented people in this fifth generation! Other than that Heavenly Tang Great Emperor, there were over 20 people left on the bridge. That's just amazing! Also, the unrivalled genius of the Myriad Swords Sect, the Heroic Sword Venerable seemed to be on the verge of death. ”
“…”
Dala looked at Tang Xiu with a complicated expression. Given her sharp eyesight, how could she not be able to tell that Tang Xiu had advanced so easily? He had yet to exert his full strength even under such great spatial pressure.
The Inner Pill Sect and Boundless Palace would definitely be unlucky if this child grew up. She ... is definitely related to the Vermillion Bird Sacred Sect, Dala thought inwardly.
Next to him, the agape and shocked man muttered, “Master, this Heavenly Great Tang Emperor is truly extraordinary. Aside from Black Zephyr's parents, no one else seemed to be better than him. I had a feeling that he could definitely pass the bridge trials and arrive outside Drunken Palace. ”
“He will pass, without a doubt.” Dala nodded slowly and said, “However, the four people around him are just as strong. They had all climbed over 6,800 stairs and they seemed to be able to last a long time. ”
“Do you know something about the origin of this Great Sky Emperor Tang, Master?” ask the handsome man. “Why haven't we heard his name until now because of his ability? Also, the four around him, they clearly changed their appearance and aura. Why are they afraid to show their true face to everyone? ”
“Possibly they have some powerful enemies!” answer Dala.
“Then most likely their enemy will be very unlucky!” said the burly man. “If one of these five grows and breakthroughs to the Supremacy Stage, their strength will be very strong.”
On stairs.
Star Peng's eyes were filled with madness. He had reached his limit resisting the immense pressure. However, he continued to hold out — for that inheritance, in order for the sect to resolve their impending crisis.
“Puah ..”
Just as he climbed the stairs to 7864, he finally couldn't stand the huge pressure anymore and was forced to fly back and then fall heavily on the bridge.
“I refuse to give up!!”
Star Peng's eyes turned red. He tightly clenched his hands and punched the ground hard.
The Luminous Star, which was three steps behind him, saw that Star Peng was forced to retreat. His eyes were filled with madness. They were the only ones from their sect who came to the Boundless Mountains and entered this Secret Palace. If Star Peng failed, then he would be the only one left. The pressure he felt inside was greater than the spatial pressure he felt from outside.
I have to be persistent! I have to be tough. I have to keep climbing even if I have to die!
He advanced step by step with a trembling body and eyes full of madness, with every fiber of his muscles cracking violently.
Perseverance and insisting on going forward had been his only belief.
Buzzing…
A surging aura suddenly exploded from Star Luminous. In almost an instant, he, who was about to reach his limit under the pressure, suddenly felt that his body was now becoming lighter.
“Sudden ... breakthrough ?!”
Even in his dreams, Star Luminous had never imagined that he would break through to the Perfect Golden Eternal Stage at this moment. It should be noted that he had advanced to the late stage Golden Immortal only 700 years ago. He immediately realized the insight of the — Heavenly Dao rewarded the diligent and those who were persistent unceasingly.
He wanted to cry at this moment. Ever since his Grand Master, the Great Emperor of Star Cultivation, failed in distress and vanished, the Vermillion Bird Sacred Sect had to go through bitter tribulations and difficulty being attacked by several factions. The impending danger and danger were right at their doorstep and many of their people were constantly being killed. The sect resources were gradually depleted and he had endured and supported the sect through these difficulties.
Many people in the sect abandoned themselves, hated their incompetence, and even despair. But he didn't do it. He shouldered the title of the unrivalled genius of the Vermillion Bird Holy Sect, so he continued to strive for all in exchange, releasing all that he had gained in battle, so he continued to strive for, and wander the edges of life and death time and again while continuing to gather experience.
All he relied on was his perseverance, so he still survived until now.
“The path so far and only with diligence can one move forward.”
Star Luminous took a deep breath and gradually suppressed his excitement. His eyes and determination became extremely strong. He felt everything was much easier when he tried to take a step forward.
Soon after, Star Luminous came to the 8,000th step. When she saw Tang Xiu, she could see a relieved and grateful expression on her face.
Why does he look so happy and grateful?
Star Luminous's expression shifted and respectfully said, “Senior Great Tang, did you see me break through?”
“Of course!” Tang Xiu replied with a smile. ” You will not be able to arrive at the 8,000th step easily without breaking through to the Perfect Gold Eternal Stage. The Vermillion Bird Holy Sect is truly blessed to have peerless genius within you. ”
Star Luminous's expression turned sharp and he looked at Tang Xiu quickly.
“You should not be on guard against me,” Tang Xiu said with a voice transmission. “What you need to know is that I am not hostile towards you. Otherwise, you and Star Peng will die before even entering the Secret Palace. ”
Star Luminous froze for a while and suddenly came to a realization. With a shy face, he awkwardly said, “I'm sorry, Senior Great Tang.”
Tang Xiu casually waved and said, “I am deeply related to your Vermillion Bird Sacred Sect. I'm not hoping that you can get to this point. All right, let's stop talking here. Onward! If your mind is strong enough, I'm sure you won't be bothered with this ordeal. ”
“Understanding!” Star Luminous obediently and stepped on the 8,001st step.
Soon after, Star Tears and the Scorpio Sablefiend also came to the 8,000th step, surpassing the Heroic Sword Venerable. However, their distance from the man was only three stairs.
“Come onward! Don't be trapped by an idiot just in case we hear some nonsense from him again, “ Tang Xiu said as he glanced at the Noble Sword Hero with disdain.
“Backed!” His Highness' Hero Sword roared furiously.
Tang Xiu directly ignored her, but Star Tears could not suppress the killing intent towards the man. However, he realized that it was not yet time to kill His Majesty's Sword Hero, so he suppressed his killing intent and followed Tang Xiu up the stairs.
On the 16th day.
Tang Xiu, Star Tears, Star Luminous, and Sablefiend Scorpio had passed the bridge trials. When the four of them came outside Drunken Palace, the strange old Black Zephyr greeted them quickly. Although she was a little surprised to see Tang Xiu, she respectfully greeted him, “Thank you, Immortal Partner.”
“No, there is no need for you to thank me because it is your luck and your chance.” Tang Xiu shook his head and smiled slightly.
“May I ask if Fellow Immortal has a request for me?” ask Black Zephyr.
“Well, I recently met a very talented young man – Star Luminous, a peerless genius of the Vermillion Bird Holy Sect,” Tang Xiu replied with a voice transmission. ” Coincidentally, he experienced the same as you and broke through to the Perfect Golden Eternal Stage under the pressure on the bridge. I'm sure you are also aware of the difficulty surrounding the Vermillion Bird Holy Sect. If you really want to thank me, please help the sect for me in the future! ”
“Understanding!”
Black Zephyr observed Star Luminous carefully for a while and then nodded in silence. Then, he said, “By the way, the 9 Gods who have successfully arrived here are required to activate the Nine Stars Array. There are five of us now, so we need to wait for 4 more people. ”
