"Lin Zhen! You've got guts! "
Huang Zun roared. His hand was on the hilt of his sword, ready to fight at any moment.
In Lin Zhen's eyes, this was nothing more than empty bravado.
Once an expert made a move, the truth would be revealed. Lin Zhen's step just now contained endless profound changes, causing Huang Zun and Senior Brother Ma's expressions to change slightly.
This kid had actually comprehended the Shadowless Step after being here for more than a month?
They wanted to make a move, but they didn't have absolute confidence in winning. They were stuck in a dilemma.
Senior Brother Ma blinked twice. "Lin Zhen! Don't be arrogant. You killed a fellow disciple and beat up others. You won't be able to escape punishment today. "
Lin Zhen snorted coldly. "I've recorded everything in the Dimensional Universe. Do you think you can change it with just a few words?"
"You said you didn't kill anyone. Then where is Li Kai? Hand him over! Did you put him under house arrest in your inner world? That's not allowed. "Huang Zun immediately roared when he saw people gathering around.
"Do you think I need to put him under house arrest just because of this guy? He's digging a hole and having fun playing with balls. "
As he spoke, Lin Zhen raised his hand. A stream of light shot from the ground into his palm. It looked like a pearl.
Only then did Huang Zun and Senior Brother Ma notice that there was a deep hole on the other side of Lin Zhen.
When the pearl was taken out, the pressure on Li Kai's body was finally lifted.
Even Sun Wukong, who had been crushed under the mountain for five hundred years, didn't suffer as much as he did this month.
That was because Sun Wukong could still lie on his stomach, but Li Kai was lying on his back. If he slacked off a bit, he would be crushed to death. No one could understand this kind of pain.
When fresh oxygen rushed into his abdominal cavity, the groggy Li Kai woke up.
His first reaction was anger, and his first thought was to seek revenge!
Lin Zhen, this low-ranking guy, had actually trapped him underground for a month and almost crushed him to death. He had to get revenge!
As a Three Flower Martial Artist, he could naturally sense that someone was coming from above the pit. He immediately realized that he couldn't just lie there like that. He had to get out!
The depression in his heart turned into a long howl, and Li Kai soared into the sky from the deep pit!
Just as Huang Zun was wondering if Lin Zhen had placed Li Kai under house arrest, he saw Li Kai transform into a stream of light and charge out of the deep pit.
"Lin Zhen, you bastard! Give me your life! "
When Li Kai came out of the pit and saw Huang Zun and the others, his courage was immediately boosted and he brazenly attacked Lin Zhen.
A sword light slashed down. Lin Zhen used Shadowless Steps, three consecutive steps!
Swish! Swish!
With a flicker, Lin Zhen shot out an energy sword from his palm and chopped off one of Li Kai's arms.
Li Kai let out a blood-curdling scream as his body fell to the ground. Just a moment ago, he hadn't been able to catch a glimpse of Lin Zhen's figure. He didn't even understand how he had been struck before suffering a crushing defeat.
"You saw it, right? He attacked me as soon as he came out. I was only defending myself."
Lin Zhen had a smile on his face, but that smile sent chills down Huang Zun and Senior Brother Ma's spines.
Lin Zhen had defeated a person with a single step and chopped off Li Kai's arm with a few consecutive steps. He had truly comprehended the Shadowless Steps, and it seemed that he had even completed two diagrams!
The Shadowless Steps was a practical footwork. Now that Lin Zhen had learned this move, he had become extremely dangerous.
Senior Brother Ma's expression changed. He said to Huang Zun, "I think there's something fishy about this matter. I won't get involved in your dispute. If Fifth Senior Brother asks, I'll tell him the truth."
With that, Senior Brother Ma turned around and left. He had made up his mind not to get involved in this mess.
However, Huang Zun couldn't leave. He helped his two companions up and glared at Lin Zhen.
"Lin Zhen, today's matter isn't over. I'll tell on you to Fifth Senior Brother!"
"Whatever. I believe that Fifth Senior Brother's eyes are as sharp as torches. He won't be deceived by your tricks. This Li Kai insisted on seeing my treasure. In the end, he took it and burrowed into the ground. As for you saying that my ranking is low … That won't be the case very soon."
Lin Zhen didn't bother with these clowns. This was the Holy Land. He couldn't go on a killing spree. Cutting off one of their hands was enough.
He turned around and left the Earth Class. Behind him was a group of students whispering.
Following the mountain path, Lin Zhen went to the highest peak of Star Picking Island.
This was where the Thirty-Three Heavens Pagoda was located.
*****
Huang Zun brought the two people who were injured by Lin Zhen to Jin Nuo's villa to complain.
"Fifth Senior Brother, Lin Zhen has no respect for his seniors. He ignored the ranking and injured a fellow student. Fifth Senior Brother, please uphold justice."
The three of them knelt in front of the villa in a row, waiting for Jin Nuo to receive them.
After a while, they heard Jin Nuo's reply.
"As a person of high status, being injured by a person of low status is not something to be proud of. You guys actually came to complain. How disappointing."
Huang Zun and the rest didn't expect Jin Nuo to have such an attitude. They didn't know what to say.
"Forget it. Lin Zhen injuring people is still inappropriate. You guys go back first. I'll give him some punishment."
"Thank you, Fifth Senior Brother!" Huang Zun and the rest were overjoyed. If they could really punish Lin Zhen, all their hard work wouldn't have been in vain.
After the three of them left, Jin Nuo opened her eyes in the villa. Her vision pierced through space and arrived at the Thirty-Three Heavens Pagoda.
Lin Zhen had just arrived at the Thirty-Three Heavens Pagoda. Jin Nuo lifted her foot and a rainbow golden bridge appeared under her feet. She stepped in front of Lin Zhen.
*****
The Thirty-Three Heavens Pagoda was located on the highest peak. Lin Zhen followed the mountain path. With light steps, he crossed a few hundred meters with each step. It took him a while to reach the peak.
He passed through the clouds and troposphere. When he reached the peak, he was already deep in the Milky Way.
Not far away, a meteor slowly fell into the vast Meteor Lake. Before it could land on the surface of the lake, it was drowned by an inconceivably large wave.
The golden pagoda looked unreachable. Looking up from below, one would look like an insignificant ant.
The Thirty-Three Heavens Pagoda of the Four Great Holy Lands. According to legends, even gods couldn't directly fly up. They had to walk up step by step.
What kind of realm would a person who could reach the top of the pagoda be?
Lin Zhen stood in front of this pagoda that had existed since ancient times. He actually couldn't move for a long time.
Originally, he had planned to challenge the pagoda. However, he felt as if he had merged with this place. This pagoda seemed to be all-encompassing. It contained heaven and earth.
Looking up from here, he could see the top of the pagoda. However, Lin Zhen felt that the top of the pagoda didn't seem to be the end. The pagoda was right in front of him, but he couldn't see it clearly.
The surrounding temperature was a little cold. As the Star-Picking Island was above the Meteor Lake, water vapor rose from below, causing Lin Zhen's body to gradually become wet.
However, he didn't realize it. He just kept looking until someone beside him spoke.
"What do you see?" A voice spoke in his ear.
"I feel that this pagoda … I can't see it clearly." Lin Zhen instinctively replied. Then, he suddenly woke up from that feeling. He turned around and saw Jin Nuo standing behind him. He didn't know when she had arrived.
Seeing Jin Nuo suddenly appear, Lin Zhen bowed slightly: "Greetings, Fifth Senior Brother. When did you arrive?"
Jin Nuo didn't answer. Instead, she looked at Lin Zhen in a daze. After a long time, she said: "You feel that you can't see this pagoda clearly?"
Lin Zhen raised his head again. The pagoda was so majestic. It was so huge. He didn't know why he felt that he couldn't see it clearly at that moment.
"I really felt that I couldn't see it clearly earlier. However, it's gone now." Lin Zhen answered truthfully.
Jin Nuo was silent for a moment. Then, she asked: "Are you confident in challenging the pagoda?"
Lin Zhen pondered for a moment: "I haven't fought it yet. I don't know."
"Then do you know the rules of the pagoda?"
"Isn't it enough to just fight?"
"It's not that simple."
Jin Nuo shook her head slightly. She walked a few steps on the Star-Picking Island. After looking around, she suddenly raised her hand. A green light completely enveloped the two of them.
"Fifth Senior Brother?" Lin Zhen didn't know what Jin Nuo meant.
Jin Nuo said seriously: "Lin Zhen, you must remember what I'm going to tell you next. It's very important."
"Please speak, Fifth Senior Brother." Lin Zhen's expression also became serious. He knew that if his Fifth Senior Brother said this, it must be something important.
At the same time, there was an inexplicable surprise in his heart. Jin Nuo was the guardian of the Holy Land. Her status was extremely noble. Almost no one in the Primordial Realm could surpass her. What was she going to say to him?
"Lin Zhen, our Holy Land has been passed down since the birth of the Primordial Realm. Its foundation is the Thirty-Three Heavens Pagoda. Speaking of which, the Thirty-Three Heavens Pagoda is the highest measurement of a warrior's strength. Everything in the world, including the universe, is within it."
"As a warrior, the level of one's strength can be reflected in the Thirty-Three Heavens Pagoda. Remember, I'm talking about all warriors, including all the races in the Primordial Realm, including all the races in the endless sea of stars, including all the hidden experts, including me and even Teacher."
"Could it be that even the Master of Fallen Star Lake has never completely cleared the Thirty-Three Heavens Pagoda?" Lin Zhen felt extremely shocked. The Masters of the Four Great Holy Lands, in his opinion, were definitely people who stood at the pinnacle of the universe. Yet, even they couldn't completely clear the Thirty-Three Heavens Pagoda?
Jin Nuo didn't answer Lin Zhen's question. Instead, she said to Lin Zhen: "I'll tell you about the Thirty-Three Heavens Pagoda. You must remember."
Lin Zhen immediately stopped interrupting and listened attentively.
"Before I tell you, let me tell you something. When I first came to the Thirty-Three Heavens Pagoda, I felt the same as you. I couldn't see the pagoda clearly."
Lin Zhen was stunned. What was Jin Nuo trying to say?
"It wasn't just me. The guardian of my previous Holy Land, my Fourth Senior Brother, also had the same feeling as me."
Lin Zhen's eyes instantly widened. He seemed to have thought of something.
Seeing Lin Zhen's expression, Jin Nuo knew that he understood. She smiled: "You're right. I heard from my Fourth Senior Brother that my Third Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, and Eldest Senior Brother were like us. When they first saw the pagoda, they felt the same. Even … even Teacher felt the same."
