"How … How can he walk so fast?!"
"The Mental Staircase doesn't seem to affect him at all."
"What … What the hell is going on?"
In front of the Sage's palace, everyone was dumbfounded. The scene of Chu Kuangren passing the Mental Staircase so quickly shocked them.
One must know that among all the people present, even the fastest Supreme Martial Artist had spent almost an hour to pass through!
However, Chu Kuangren took one step at a time without stopping at all. It only took him twenty to thirty breaths to complete the staircase as if it was an ordinary staircase. It was as if there was no such thing as an illusion.
At that moment, all the cultivators who had passed through the Mental Staircase looked at Chu Kuangren in fear. There was even a hint of fear in their eyes.
Was he still human with a Daoist core like that?
After all, a Daoist core was linked to a person's experience, will, and emotions. The illusions of the Mental Staircase were also based on these.
However, the way Chu Kuangren passed it without stopping made everyone wonder if this guy had no emotions at all.
Was he still human?
Could he be a rock?!
Buzz buzz buzz …
At that moment, the Mental Staircase suddenly shook violently, and cracks began to appear. In the blink of an eye, the white jade-like Mental Staircase was filled with cracks and began to fall apart.
The power of the illusions also began to dissipate, and the cultivators who were originally immersed in the illusions were awakened. They looked around blankly at first, but when they noticed the Mental Staircase's transformation, they immediately rushed up.
Not long after, the beautiful Mental Staircase turned into rubble.
"F * ck, what happened to the Mental Staircase?"
"Why did it just crumble like that? What kind of shoddy construction is this?"
"It can't be."
The little Daoist child at the bottom of the Mental Staircase was also shocked.
In a flash, he arrived at the palace gate and looked at Chu Kuangren strangely. "Big brother, how did you do it?"
"Uh, how did I do what?"
Chu Kuangren was confused, but he had a vague guess in his heart.
The other cultivators also guessed something. An Honorable asked the little Daoist child, "Little brother, are you saying that the collapse of the Mental Staircase is related to Brother Chu?"
The little Daoist child nodded and said, "I heard from my teacher that this Mental Staircase can test a cultivator's Daoist core. However, if it encounters an indestructible Daoist core, it will be affected and even collapse."
Hiss …
Hearing this, everyone sucked in a cold breath.
What did that mean?!
Did that mean that Chu Kuangren's Daoist core was so strong that it could destroy the Mental Staircase on its own?
"Is there an example of such a thing?" a Supreme Martial Artist asked.
The little Dao child shook his head, "No, but Teacher said that only the Dao heart of the Ancient Emperors would be able to do such a thing."
Only the Ancient Emperors could do that?
These words were like a muffled thunder exploding in everyone's ears.
Holy shit!
Chu Kuangren's Daoist core was comparable to the Emperors of Old?!
What kind of freak was this!
"It can't be, it can't be, it can't be. How could such a thing be discovered? I think the Mental Staircase is malfunctioning."
"Yes, yes, I think so too."
"The Mental Staircase has existed for so many years and has tested countless people's Dao Hearts. It's normal for it to malfunction after being in disrepair for so long."
"Hmm, that makes sense."
Some of the cultivators started talking at the same time. Their words gained the approval of many others and everyone gradually accepted them.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with the Ancient Emperors?!
They dared not imagine such a thing and were unwilling to believe it either.
Chu Kuangren was already too insane, but to say that he could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Ancient Emperors was just too terrifying.
"Is it really in disrepair for so long? This Mental Staircase is a Sage Weapon after all. "The little Dao child frowned and muttered with a twisted face.
However, the cultivators who did not ascend the Mental Staircase could not care less.
Now that the Mental Staircase was destroyed, they felt that this was a chance for them to listen to the Sage's Daoist preaching without climbing the Mental Staircase.
One by one, these cultivators dashed towards the palace gate.
However, at that moment, an invisible force suddenly spread out from the palace, and those cultivators who tried to take advantage of the situation were all sent flying.
"Cultivators who have ascended the Mental Staircase may now enter the palace. As for the others, please leave." An old voice came from inside the palace.
It was the Whitelock Sage's order.
Those cultivators who did not ascend the Mental Staircase were unwilling, but since the Sage had spoken, what else could they say? They could only leave obediently.
"They don't have the guts to ascend the Mental Staircase, yet they tried to take advantage of the situation. Do these people deserve to listen to the Sage's Daoist preaching?" An Honorable snorted.
Then, the crowd entered the palace.
The interior of the palace was very spacious. Inside, there was an old man dressed in white robes sitting on a cattail hassock.
The old man's hair, beard, and even his eyebrows were white. Even though he was just sitting there, he gave off an ethereal and untouchable vibe.
Chu Kuangren activated his Eye of Revelation and obtained some information.
"Whitelock Sage, early Sage Manifestation Realm, cultivates the Meritorious Physique …"
'Early Sage Manifestation Realm?'
'Meritorious Physique?'
Those two keywords came into Chu Kuangren's sight.
There were strong and weak Sages too. The early Sage Manifestation Realm was a normal Sage, the middle Sage was a Great Sage, and above the late Sage was a Sage Ruler …
As for the Meritorious Physique, it was a cultivation technique that was very rare. It was a Merit Technique that used merit to cultivate!
"No wonder this Whitelock Sage often preaches and collects merits. So it's to cultivate this Meritorious Physique."
Chu Kuangren murmured.
At that moment, he felt a gaze fall upon him.
It was the Whitelock Sage.
Chu Kuangren's heart was beating like a drum. 'Could this Sage be blaming me for destroying his Mental Staircase?'
Fortunately, the Whitelock Sage only glanced at him once before he shifted his gaze away. He then said to the crowd of cultivators, "The Daoist preaching is about to begin. Everyone, please find a seat and take a seat."
The crowd found their seats and sat on the ground. Most of the Honorables who had been here before rushed to a spot three meters away from the Whitelock Sage and sat down.
That spot was the closest to the Sage, and it was also the best distance to listen to the Sage's Daoist preaching.
Chu Kuangren did not fight for a seat. Instead, he and Lan Yu found a random spot to sit down.
Once everyone found their seats, the Sage began his Daoist preaching.
From the most basic cultivation realm to the final experience of becoming a Sage, the Sage explained every realm in great detail …
As the Sage preached, an incredibly mysterious Daoist Rhyme permeated the entire palace. In an instant, a large amount of spiritual qi gathered towards the place, and a strange phenomenon of flowers falling from the sky and golden lotuses sprouting from the ground appeared.
Chu Kuangren listened to the Sage's preaching from the back and gained some insight. "As expected of a Sage. His Daoist techniques and cultivation level are indeed profound."
He looked at the others and realized that everyone was immersed in the Sage's Daoist preaching. Each and every one of them had an infatuated look on their faces, including the Honorables and even Supreme Honorables like the Seventh Forefather.
Chu Kuangren could not help but be speechless. "Isn't this a little too much?"
Although the Sage's Daoist preaching had inspired him, he was not as engrossed as the others.
Moreover, the more he listened, the less inspiration Whitelock Sage gave him. In the end, he did not feel anything at all.
Could it be that he was so stupid that he could not understand what the Sage was saying?
What a joke.
If he was stupid, then there would be no geniuses in this world.
