One step, two steps, three steps, four steps …
At the ninth step, the people below held their breaths and stared at the scene before them in disbelief.
The thirty-ninth level!!
It was rare for the thirty-ninth level to appear in the external recruitment examination!
The last time it appeared was over a hundred years ago.
Many families were filled with anticipation and jealousy. They were jealous of the Situ family's good fortune, and they were looking forward to seeing Su Yu's performance.
The Red Blood Palace wanted to reduce the number of external recruitment quotas, and Su Yu's current performance might be able to reverse the situation.
Palace Master Hua chuckled. "I was right, wasn't I? He's a good seedling now."
Su Yu, who was standing on the 39th floor, was stunned on the spot.
Because on the 40th step, there was actually a shadow standing there.
From the looks of it, it was a man. His facial features were incomplete and blurry.
"This is the last man to pass the fortieth level. It was done by Yang Feiliu of the Outer Sanctum five months ago. If Su Yu successfully steps onto the fortieth step, his image will replace Yang Feiliu and stand on the fortieth step." Shangguan Qinger's eyes shone brightly. "Once you break through to the 40th level, you will have unimaginable privileges in the Outer Sanctum."
Su Yu paused for a moment, then stepped on it.
All of a sudden, the illusory figure shattered, and Su Yu's indistinct figure appeared.
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, but when he realized that it was not a big deal, he left.
However, the moment he stepped onto the 40th step, a shocking pressure suddenly assaulted him.
Crack —
The bones in Su Yu's body emitted a cracking sound, and it seemed like they were about to collapse.
Even his soul felt a bit of pain.
A pained expression flashed past Su Yu's face. However, his heart was filled with joy. After passing through the first 40 levels, his soul and body had stabilized. Now, the further he walked, the more his soul and body would be tempered.
With excitement in his eyes, Su Yu let out a low grunt and stepped forward.
This scene caused everyone to be shocked speechless for a long time.
"Is he a monster? We're on the 40th floor now, we can still go up! "
"Hiss … Level 40. Based on his potential, he must be at the elite level of the outer sect!"
Lady Situ's beautiful eyes were filled with splendor, and she couldn't use words to describe the shock in her heart.
A satisfied smile finally appeared on Palace Mistress Kong Chan's face as she said, "The Situ Clan's recommendation is meritorious. They will grant you another forty years of jurisdiction, twenty Solid Foundation Cultivating Pills, and a Profound Pill and a fifth-grade Divine Accumulation Pill."
Divine Accumulation Pill? Even the Shangguan Clan Master's pupils shrank.
Putting aside the jurisdiction and the Solid Foundation Cultivating Pill, the Divine Accumulation Pill had shocked all the family heads present.
Even the many God Masters' envoys shuddered, their eyes filled with excitement.
Elder Li, who had just returned, had a look of envy on his face. He cupped his hands toward Lady Situ and said, "Congratulations, Lady Situ. Your cultivation has improved once again. I'm really envious of you."
Lady Situ's whole body trembled. Divine Accumulation Pill?
The Divine Accumulation Pill was already a Profound Core Pill!
Elixirs that were useful for the Fairy Realm were called spiritual elixirs.
As for the pills that were effective on Divine Masters, they were called Profound Pills.
The Divine Accumulation Pill was a middle-grade Mysterious Pill among Mysterious Pills, and it was extremely beneficial to people at the peak of the early stage and the middle-stage Divine Masters.
Lady Situ had the cultivation of a third-grade Almighty, and the Divine Accumulation Pill could refine her magical power and strengthen her Divine Incantation, which could increase her power significantly.
This kind of medicinal pill could not be found on the market, and it was impossible to find a better medicinal pill of the same level.
Moreover, it was a fifth-grade one.
For a moment, Lady Situ felt dizzy, as if she had just been overjoyed.
Shangguan Yunque's mouth twitched, and when he looked at his father, he could no longer take pleasure in his misfortune. Instead, he felt pity for him. He knew that his father had spent a lot of effort in order to obtain the Divine Accumulation Pill, but it was still so difficult for him to obtain even one.
He must be in a terrible mood right now.
After four hours, Su Yu had already stepped onto the 45th step.
From the 40th step onward, a different figure appeared on almost every step, and they were all the people who had just arrived on that step.
Su Yu continued on, annihilating all of them, leaving only his phantom image behind.
After eight hours, Su Yu finally reached the 49th step with increasing difficulty.
At that moment, Su Yu's whole body was drenched in sweat, and his bones felt like they were about to fall apart.
Su Yu bent down and gasped for breath.
It seemed like he was reaching his limit.
Even so, Su Yu still looked delighted. He could feel that both his physical body and soul energy had improved greatly. If he could continue moving forward, he would surely achieve a great breakthrough.
There was a deathly silence below the stone pillar.
Everyone wanted to know whether Su Yu could continue moving forward and step onto the 50th step.
The 50th step represented the outer sanctum's monstrous genius, and it was a realm that only the four demons could reach.
Palace Master Hua chuckled and said, "Even among the inner sanctum's disciples, only the elites can reach the 50th step. It seems like our outer sanctum's outer sanctum has gained another monstrous genius."
Delight appeared on Palace Master Kong Chan's face, but her expression soon became grave. "This lad's potential isn't limited to just this much, and if he continues moving forward, I'm afraid that the inner sanctum's old men will smell him and recruit him into the inner sanctum ahead of time. Our gains won't make up for our losses."
Palace Master Hua's expression became grave when he heard this, and the delight on his face gradually disappeared. He then said, "I just hope that this lad knows when to stop and understand that the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Otherwise, if the inner sanctum's disciples really come to ask for him, we won't be able to stop them, unless he's unwilling."
Su Yu raised his head and saw that there was another person standing on the 50th step. He seemed like a child at first glance.
Su Yu shook his head and stepped onto it.
The child's phantom image shattered and was replaced by Su Yu's figure.
The 50th step!
He had reached the 50th step!
Everyone held their breaths, almost suffocating. They stared at the Divine Eagle on the 50th floor in disbelief.
Another demonic genius had been born!
Su Yu, on the other hand, felt an unprecedented pressure. His soul was shaken, and cracking sounds echoed from his body.
He was already at his limit, but if he forced himself to take several steps, it wouldn't be a problem for him.
Su Yu raised his head and looked at the 50th to 60th steps.
Unlike the 40th step, there were only four people in the domain of fifty steps, including the one Su Yu was on.
There was one person on the 50th step, one on the 52nd step, and one on the 53rd step. The farthest person was on the 57th step, and it was a tall woman.
Su Yu calculated inwardly. He had the Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron's help, so his soul wouldn't suffer any harm, while his body still had the First Dragon's Body, so he could continue moving forward.
If he clenched his teeth and persevered, he should still be able to crush that woman's figure.
However, as he looked at the shocked faces below him, he suppressed such thoughts.
Both his body and soul had been tempered greatly, and he had already reached his goal.
Moreover, it seemed like he was in the limelight now, so it was time to end this.
He had just joined the sanctum, so it was better for him to keep a low profile.
However, he didn't know that this trip had caused his reputation to soar, and it would be impossible for him to keep a low profile.
As Su Yu tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, he broke through the heavy water and landed on the ground.
Many people were startled by such a scene.
When the others left the Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate, they were all exhausted. They had all come back carefully while holding on to the stairs. Shao Li was the same.
However, Su Yu had managed to cross the heavy water and come back. What did this mean? It meant that he still had enough energy to continue moving forward!
This lad had hidden his potential on purpose!
Palace Mistress Kong Chan and Palace Mistress Hua exchanged a glance and heaved a sigh of relief. They then looked at Su Yu with admiration in their eyes.
He had managed to retreat in time, hide his potential, and avoid the limelight.
Palace Mistress Kong Chan stood up and looked at Madame Situ with a smile. "Madame Situ, you have recommended a good seedling this time, and you have made a great contribution to our Red Blood Palace's outer sanctum. As such, you will be rewarded with five fifth-grade Divine Nourishing Pills and a sixth-grade Divine Nourishing Pill. Moreover, you will be allowed to double the number of people in the Situ family's recruitment test, and each time, you will be allowed to recommend 40 people. I hope that you will continue sending talents like Su Yu to the outer sanctum."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of many family masters changed drastically.
Not only were there five fifth-grade Divine Nourishing Pills, but there was also a sixth-grade one! Even if one had just broken through to the Level Three Divine Master Realm, he would be able to reach the Level Four Divine Master Realm and become a middle-stage Divine Master Realm in a short time after consuming it!
Moreover, Madame Situ was an existence who had been stuck at the peak of the Level Three Divine Master Realm for a long time!
They knew that after this, Madame Situ would become a middle-stage Divine Master Realm expert and stand shoulder to shoulder with Shao Yueming.
What made their expressions even more unsightly was that the Situ family had a recommendation quota that was twice as large as theirs.
What did this mean? It meant that more geniuses would join the Situ family in order to obtain a quota!
Moreover, the fact that they had recommended a heaven-defying demonic genius would make their name known, and they would be able to attract more geniuses to join them.
This would be of great significance to the Situ family's development.
Although it sounded unimaginable that a recommended genius could change the fate of an entire family, it was actually what the Red Blood Palace hoped to achieve.
Only then would the big and small factions under their jurisdiction earnestly recommend geniuses.
Madame Situ was so happy that she almost fainted. She, who had been the family master for many years, couldn't help but feel excited.
She hadn't let her husband down, and the Situ family would hopefully develop greatly under her leadership.
All of this was thanks to the silver-masked Lord, who had found such a powerful demonic genius for her.
It was only the Shangguan Family's Master who sighed in frustration and melancholy.
"Father, since it has already come to this, it's useless for you to regret it." Shangguan Yunque was quite helpless, so he comforted him softly. "Sometimes, you will get what you want, but if you don't want it, then don't force it. Let nature take its course."
The Shangguan Family's Master seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. "I'm already old, and I can't judge people properly. Yunque, you should spend more time with Mister Su in the sanctum, as his achievements in the future won't be any lower than yours."
"I understand," Shangguan Yunque said.
The thrilling test had come to an end just like that.
Su Yu, a demonic genius who had appeared out of nowhere, had managed to reach the fiftieth layer of the Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate with a cultivation of the Level One Fairy Realm.
"Su Yu deserves to be the first in the Fairy Confining Forest's trial." Palace Mistress Kong Chan's expression was relaxed. She hadn't been this happy in a long time.
Swoosh!
It was at this moment that Shao Yueming, who had gone to the Fairy Confining Forest for half a day, finally came back. He was holding a dying Shao family's junior in each of his hands.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he was filled with grief and indignation.
He had searched through most of the forest, and most of the corpses he found were the corpses of his family's juniors, which had been gnawed on. Only two juniors were lucky enough to avoid the Beast Tide.
Both of them had died, including Shao Lingjian.
Even Shao Lingjian's corpse wasn't left behind.
The crowd looked at each other in dismay, while some of them took pleasure in their misfortune. In the end, only three people from the Shao family had survived, which was even more miserable than the Lin family, which had suffered the brunt of the Beast Tide.
