The Unbeatable Uncle-Grandmaster
Chapter 264: The Ascension of Heaven
When the top three factions all arrived, the Divine Realm finally rippled and slowly opened.
The thick fog that originally enveloped the Divine Realm Continent began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing the scene within.
Seeing this, the three Half-God Stage experts immediately returned to their faction and prepared to enter at any time.
Not long after, the thick fog completely disappeared, and the entire Divine Realm appeared in front of everyone.
What surprised Qin Jue was that the Divine Realm was not what he had imagined it to be. Instead, it was a slightly dilapidated continent. Not only were there broken walls everywhere, but the surroundings were also extremely harsh, as if they were abandoned ruins from ancient times.
It was hard to imagine that such a place could actually change the fate of cultivators and produce True God Stage experts.
"Let's go in." Long Cang ruled expressionlessly.
"Yes!"
The experts of the White Dragon Race immediately controlled the Celestial Qilin to fly towards the Divine Realm with incomparable speed.
On the other hand, the golden palace and pitch-black warships were also flying towards the Divine Realm at their fastest speed, afraid that the other party would defeat them.
Behind them were subordinate forces that did not dare to overtake the top factions.
In the end, the top three factions entered the Divine Realm Continent at about the same time. As far as the eye could see, the continent was vast and boundless, without a single living being in sight. Moreover, lightning would fall from time to time, as if the sky would be torn apart. That's very scary.
"Hmm?"
As soon as he entered the Divine Realm, Qin Jue felt that something was wrong, as if something was pressing down on his body.
Although this feeling was almost negligible, Qin Jue was sure that she felt something. After all, ever since he ignored the flight banning array formation last time, Qin Jue had paid special attention to his surroundings.
As if he knew what confused Qin Jue, Long Xiaoyu explained, “Gravity in the Divine Realm is ten times that of the outside world, and one's spirit energy will also be severely restricted here. Living beings under the Great Void Stage might not even be able to use half of their strength here.”
"Ten times the restriction of gravity and spirit energy?"
Qin Jue suddenly understood what was going on.
However, those who could participate in this Divine Seal Meeting were all experts of the Great Void Stage. Ten times gravity basically had no effect on them, let alone Qin Jue.
"What's that?"
Qin Jue frowned.
In the distance, the mountain peak stood between heaven and earth, and blocked everyone's path. It exuded an ancient aura, and it was like an ancient beast that caused others to not be able to help but feel reverence.
The strangest thing was that there was a set of stone stairs at the foot of the mountain that led directly to the top of the mountain. There was no end in sight, but there were at least ten thousand steps.
"That was the first test of the Divine Seal Altar, the Heaven Ascension Steps." Long Xiaoyu said with a serious expression.
The Divine Seal Altar had a total of nine tests. Everything is different, but each test represents a special ability.
Only by constantly passing nine tests could one be recognized and step onto the Divine Seal Altar. It was a very difficult process.
The Heaven Ascension Steps was the first test!
On it, one could not fly and had to walk. If one's spirit and body energy were not strong enough, it would be a difficult test to pass.
Whether it was the White Dragon Race, the Sacred Hall of Martialism, the Devil Race, or the other subordinate forces, they all stopped and waited for the others to make the first move.
After an unknown period of time, a genius from the subordinate strength of the Martial Sacred Hall was finally unable to contain himself and became the first person to fly out and ascend to the Heaven Ascension Steps.
This was a young man in the second realm of the Great Void Stage. He had a relaxed expression and quickly climbed a third of the stone stairs.
However, after that, the young man's speed suddenly decreased. Sweat kept flowing down his forehead and he started to have trouble advancing.
One should know that apart from not being able to fly, these steps also contained frightening pressure. The higher, the heavier the pressure.
Even so, the young man remained firm and did not give up.
Fifteen minutes later, the young man climbed another third of the stairs and only a third of the summit.
"Will it end ..."
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, the young man was mentally and physically exhausted. He is on the verge of collapse.
However, he quickly stopped thinking about it because it was too frightening.
Seeing that the young man was about to pass the first exam, the geniuses from other factions finally started climbing the stone stairs, including the top three factions.
However, in the end, Long Xiaoyu still had not climbed the stairs.
Compared to the second Stage Great Void experts, the experts in the third realm were undoubtedly faster. In less than ten minutes, they had climbed two-thirds of the stone steps.
The subordinate troops did not possess a fourth realm Great Void Stage expert. Only the White Dragon Race, the Sacred Hall of Martialism, and the demon race possessed such genius.
Among them, the divine son of the Martial Sacred Hall was the most dazzling. He did not stop all the time and climbed to the top of the mountain with the fastest speed. After which, he quickly departed for the next test. The god son of the Demon Race followed behind, unwilling to lose.
There were also some geniuses of the Great Void Stage from low-level subordinate forces. Apart from the two people with strong willpower who braced themselves and held on, most of them were unable to hold it in after about two-thirds of the time and vomited blood and fell.
As a result, the Divine Seal Gathering, known as the grandest gathering, began to unfold in such chaos.
…
“Any, why hasn't the goddess of the White Dragon race appeared yet?”
“Could Divine Maiden not come?”
"How is it possible? I just saw it outside.”
“…”
Many experts discussed excitedly and were filled with curiosity.
Long Xiaoyu was the strongest presence among the younger generation of the Divine Seal Meeting this time around. If he did not participate, then there would be much less fun.
Even Vice Hall Master Chu Xiao and the Demon King were a bit confused. They were sure Long Xiaoyu had come, but why had she not appeared yet? What is he waiting for?
"Senior, it's almost my turn."
Long Xiaoyu looked at the Heaven Ascension Steps with a smile on her face, feeling extremely confident.
He had unintentionally waited until the end. He had just explained the nine tests of the Divine Seal Altar to Qin Jue, which was why he had delayed ascending until now.
"Oh, I'll go see him too." Qin Jue said indifferently.
"Ah? You'll go too?”
Long Xiaoyu was stunned. He subconsciously said, “Senior, you may not know this, but all living beings over five thousand years old cannot participate in the Divine Seal Altar trial.”
This is the rule of the Divine Seal Altar. The various factions only confirmed this after thousands of years of trial and error. Even True God Stage experts were unable to change this rule. Otherwise, why would they call it a competition between the experts of the younger generation? If one were to directly cultivate to the tenth realm of the Great Void Stage before participating, wouldn't that mean they would definitely be able to pass the nine tests?
In fact, with Long Xiaoyu's age, she could still wait and join in another time. If he was lucky, he might be able to step onto the seventh Great Void Stage and increase his chances of becoming a True God Stage expert.
However, Long Xiaoyu felt that this was the best time for her to participate in the Divine Seal Meeting. As the saying goes, heaven will do what they want, and he will not have to stick to the rules. Thus, the Patriarch of the White Dragon Race did not stop him.
In Long Xiaoyu's opinion, since Qin Jue was an expert at the tenth realm of the Great Vanishing Stage, she must have been at least five thousand years old. Therefore, how could he participate in the Divine Seal Gathering examination?
"I understand. Perfect."
Qin Jue did not think too much about it. He traveled with Long Xiaoyu and arrived at the foot of the mountain.
As soon as the two of them appeared, they attracted countless attention.
"Look, it is the holy maiden of the White Dragon Race!"
"Very pretty!"
“Said that he is the only super genius among the younger generation who has reached the fifth realm of the Great Void Stage.”
“Eh, who is the person next to him? Why haven't I seen her before?”
“Seems... human?”
…
