The moment Wang Teng stepped onto the staircase, the purple Runes on the white jade staircase lit up with a blinding light.
An invisible pressure seemed to descend from the heavens, landing on the climber's head and shoulders, trying to crush him!
Even the onlookers below felt this inexplicable pressure, and their expressions changed slightly.
Some of the weaker ones almost knelt on the ground again.
"How terrifying!"
"The pressure after the white jade staircase activates the Runes is completely different from the pressure before the Runes are activated. We didn't feel anything when the nobles were climbing before, but now we can clearly feel that terrifying pressure."
"Wang Teng just climbed the staircase, and he's already suffering from such a powerful pressure. It seems like his talent isn't weak!"
…
Wang Teng didn't pay attention to these discussions. He guarded his mind and climbed toward the Imperial Palace.
The aura here was a little special and dangerous. There seemed to be all kinds of mental interference that could affect one's will.
This surprised Wang Teng.
When the Empire's Aristocrat Council notified him, they only said that the white jade staircase was very difficult to climb and tested the climber's talent, wisdom, and so on. They didn't know it was like this.
The white jade staircase in front of the Imperial Palace had a total of a thousand steps, and it extended all the way to the foot of the Imperial Palace.
Streaks of purple runes lit up on the White Jade Heavenly Staircase. Every time he climbed a step, the number of purple runes lit up doubled, and the invisible pressure increased as well.
One could imagine how difficult it was.
At this moment, everyone below looked up, and the Imperial Palace above also looked down.
All eyes were focused on the figure who was slowly climbing the Stairway to Heaven.
In just a short moment, Wang Teng had already climbed over a hundred steps, and the pressure had increased by more than ten times. At the same time, the mental interference was also getting stronger. Those with weaker will and spirit would probably collapse on the spot.
However, Wang Teng still maintained a constant speed and didn't stop at all. It was as if he was taking a stroll.
His expression was very calm, and he didn't even frown. It was as if the mental interference didn't affect him at all.
In fact, this was indeed the case. At this moment, in his mind, there were all sorts of murmurs that sounded like demonic voices.
Nevertheless, the 'star' in Wang Teng's spiritual power released a dazzling light. As the scorching spiritual power swept across, those strange noises disappeared.
Wang Teng's state surprised the nobles at the top of the stairway. They all looked down and started discussing.
"Interesting," Duke Situ Nan murmured to himself as he sat in his chair with a look of interest on his face.
"His expression didn't change and he wasn't affected. This means that his will is very strong!" The Count of the Wang Clan sat not far away and said, "A few days ago, the representative of my Wang Clan in the Aristocratic Council came back and told me some things about this child. At that time, I didn't quite believe it, but now it seems that it wasn't false. I didn't come here in vain."
"Hmph, it's still early." The person from the Pyrax family was Waltegu. He snorted and said, "He just crossed the hundredth step. It's just the beginning."
Waltegu was only a leader among the Dukes, but he was a member of the Pyrax family. Even the Dukes were wary of him.
Thus, when he spoke, everyone's expression became strange.
They had heard that Wang Teng and the Pyrax family didn't get along, and now it seemed that it was true. The nobles couldn't help but sympathize with Wang Teng.
After offending the Pyrax family, even if he inherited the title of Baron, he wouldn't have a good life in the future. He might not even know when he died. The Nangong Yue was a good example.
"Haha, the great Pyrax family is going against a little guy. Don't you think it's embarrassing?" At this time, a middle-aged man from the Kallandish family spoke.
He had a head of silver hair and was very handsome. If Wang Teng were here, he would definitely recognize him. His appearance was very similar to Tiki's.
Everyone was a little surprised when they saw the Kalandisxu family speaking up for Wang Teng. Their gazes flickered as they lowered their heads and watched the show at the side.
Almost every time they gathered together, these two royal families with different surnames would compete against each other. It could be considered an impromptu show.
"Boragu, what are you doing?" Waltegu looked at him and frowned.
"I just can't stand how you bully others." Boragu chuckled and said leisurely.
"…"
Boragu's words made everyone speechless.
The Kallandish family was also an extremely domineering existence. When it came to bullying others, both families were on par.
Just when everyone thought that Waltegu would not let this matter go, he actually gave up and stopped talking.
Boragu smiled and didn't take it to heart, but he didn't provoke him anymore.
The other six noble families had different expressions. They seemed to feel that the two families were a little strange today.
Wang Teng didn't know that his performance had attracted the attention of the nobles. He walked forward slowly with a calm expression. There wasn't any anxiety.
One step after another, the runes on the White Jade Heavenly Staircase grew more and more, and the pressure also grew stronger and stronger.
The people below had already started to retreat. They felt as though there was a huge mountain pressing down on them. This mountain was so heavy that it almost pressed them to the ground.
The closer they got to the White Jade Staircase, the stronger the pressure. Only some powerful martial artists could withstand it. Most of the martial artists had already retreated more than 100 meters.
There were only a few people scattered within 20 to 30 meters of the White Jade Staircase. They were all at the domain lord level.
Further back was a range of 50 to 60 meters. Most of them were Universe-level martial artists. There were about 10 of them.
They couldn't imagine how Wang Teng was able to withstand the pressure on the White Jade Staircase. He seemed to only have a Planet-level power, but he was able to withstand that terrifying pressure. He seemed to be at ease and was still walking up step by step.
This was secondary. The main thing was that they also felt interference from the spiritual plane.
If they didn't retreat, their minds would be affected by those ravings and fall into chaos.
This was definitely fatal for most martial artists.
Mind was the key. If one's mind collapsed, no matter how strong a martial artist's body was, they would just be an empty shell.
Most of these martial artists' minds were very ordinary. There was nothing outstanding about them. Of course, they couldn't withstand the spiritual interference coming from the staircase.
About 10 minutes passed in this situation. Wang Teng had already reached the halfway point of the White Jade Staircase.
More and more Runes lit up. If one counted carefully, they would discover that there were 900 Runes on the staircase. They were very dazzling and glaring as they were branded on the surface of the White Jade Staircase.
Many of the aristocrats in front of the Imperial Palace looked solemn. They seemed to be extremely shocked.
"There are more than 900 Runes, and he's only climbed half of them. This Wang Teng is not simple. He's really not simple!" Duke Situ Nan said again with a hint of shock in his voice.
"I remember that the highest record of the Kallandish family was 2,380 Runes. I wonder what level this Wang Teng will reach," Boragu said with a strange expression.
Originally, he was asked by the Tiki to take care of Wang Teng. Now, he felt that the Tiki had a good eye.
Wang Teng's talent was worth the Kallandish family's investment.
"The highest record of the Pyrax family is 2,503 Runes. I'd like to see if he can break it," Waltegu said with a gloomy expression.
"Hehe, the Pyrax family just has a stronger body. That's all." Boragu chuckled.
"The winner takes all. The Kallandish family is inferior to us." Waltegu didn't back down.
"The highest record of the Qian Empire seems to be 2,800 Runes. It was left by a prince." At this time, another member of the royal family with a different surname spoke.
This was the Jiang family. They were ranked fifth among the eight royal families. They were quite powerful.
"That's right. This record was indeed left behind by that astonishingly talented Prince. For so many years, no one has been able to break it. Even the successor of the Battle Demon Palace who came to visit our country back then only managed to break 2,750 records, which is 50 records less than our Prince," someone from the Ji Royal Clan said.
"That prince's talent is amazing. Among the younger generation in the universe, he is at the top. Only the heirs of a few big forces can compete with him. This Wang Teng can't compete with him," Waltegu said with surprise.
"Hahaha, that's true. No one can compete with the prince," someone from the Jiang royal family said.
In the middle of the eight royal families, a man in a purple and gold robe sat at the head of the table. His aura was hidden, and no fluctuations could be seen. He was like an ordinary person, but his temperament was too outstanding. It was as if he had the aura of a king. It was terrifying and noble.
This person was a member of the royal family of the Empire. His status was respected, and his strength was unfathomable.
From the beginning to the end, he had been resting with his eyes closed. It was as if he was indifferent to everything in the outside world.
Everyone's discussion entered his ears, but he was not moved. His eyes were still closed, and his mind was wandering outside.
"Why did he stop?" Suddenly, someone asked in surprise.
It turned out that halfway through, Wang Teng had stopped and stood there motionless.
"Could it be that he can't take it anymore?" Waltegu sneered.
"It seems that this is his limit. He has to stop and rest." Someone from the Jiang royal family shook his head and sighed.
They were just guessing that Wang Teng's potential was not ordinary. They did not expect to be exposed. It seemed that he was only good looking but not good for anything.
"It can't be. He doesn't look like he's at his limit," Boragu said in surprise.
…
"There are attribute bubbles?!" Wang Teng looked curiously at the white jade stairway in front of him. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He naturally did not stop because he had reached his limit. It was entirely because the attribute bubbles that had suddenly appeared had "blocked" his path.
He had been walking very happily and did not find it difficult at all. However, all of a sudden, attribute bubbles appeared on the stairway.
That was very magical!
Wang Teng had never seen attribute bubbles appear in such a way.
"Let's see what they are." Wang Teng was full of curiosity. He quickly picked up the three attribute bubbles in front of him.
[Void Destroying Sacred Sword Technique * 10]
[Void Destroying Sacred Sword Technique * 10]
[Void Destroying Sacred Sword Technique * 10]
…
"This is!!!" In the next moment, Wang Teng's heart was in turmoil.
The three attribute bubbles turned into streaks of cold air and merged into his mind. They turned into an extremely powerful combat skill.
No, it was not accurate to call it a combat skill. It could not be classified as a combat skill either!
This was actually a Divine Codex that was a combination of a combat skill and a combat skill!
The reason why Wang Teng was shocked was that this Divine Codex was of the Space Element!!!
It was of the Space Element and a Divine Codex!
Wang Teng suddenly felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky and smashed into his head. This was too unexpected, too surprising!
At this moment, the Divine Codex turned into light shadows and started to practice in Wang Teng's mind.
These light shadows finally merged into one and turned into a human figure.
The human figure used his fingers as a sword. The power of space gathered and countless sword rays rose behind him. They appeared out of nowhere and cut the space into nothingness.
The sword rays swept out as if they were destroying the stars in the sky. The void shook and a galaxy was suddenly broken …
What kind of power was this!!!
Wang Teng came back to his senses and sucked in a breath of cold air. His back was almost soaked in cold sweat.
That sword was too terrifying. Even he was shocked.
It was as if he was in it and would be destroyed by it.
However, he was immediately overjoyed. Such a powerful Divine Codex now belonged to him.
What was a Divine Codex?
Wang Teng did not understand at first. However, as the attribute bubbles merged into his mind, he knew what this Divine Codex meant.
A Divine Codex, as the name implied, was a combat skill that could reach the True God Realm. It was the most profound inheritance in the universe.
Moreover, this Divine Codex was of the Space Element. It was unimaginably rare.
The origin of this Divine Codex was also very shocking. It was left behind by the founding ancestor of the Qian Empire and was engraved on the white jade staircase.
The founding ancestor of the Great Qian Empire was shockingly a space attribute martial artist!
The white jade staircase seemed to be used to test one's talent and will. However, it was actually used to inherit this Space Divine Codex.
Unfortunately, after so many years, no one was able to take away this Divine Codex.
Even among the descendants of the founding ancestor, there was no one with a talent for space.
Now, it was Wang Teng's turn to benefit.
"Giving me a pillow when I'm sleepy. I was just worried that I didn't have any Space Element combat skills to use. Now, it's giving me a Divine Codex. The System is so understanding." Wang Teng smiled faintly. He gave the System a hundred and twenty thumbs up in his heart.
He just climbed the staircase and received a Divine Codex. Was there anything better than this?
If the rich and noble families of the Empire knew about this, they would probably be jealous.
However, he received the highest inheritance of the Qian Empire's royal family. Would he be caught and cut into pieces?
Who knew if the founding ancestor of the Qian Empire was still alive. Logically speaking, after so many years, he should have died long ago.
However, all Immortal ranks were indestructible, and it was said that the founding ancestor was a terrifying existence above the Immortal rank. He was probably still secretly watching his descendants from some corner. It was said that those old monsters liked to do this … …
