The Heavenly Fortune Platform belonged to the West Tiger Territory. Theoretically, it should also be a place where swordsmen from the West Tiger Territory could enter to comprehend.
Long Zun came from the Chaotic Territory. One could imagine that he must have obtained the Secret Order of Fortune from someone else.
However, the Heavenly Sword Hall's motto was that only the capable could obtain the Secret Order of Fortune. The Secret Order of Fortune belonged to anyone who could obtain it, except for the foreign races and Evil Path swordsmen.
Therefore, no matter how shocked the people of the West Tiger Territory were, no matter how uncomfortable they felt, no matter how disgusted they felt, they could only endure it. After all, Long Zun was still a human. He was the Crown Prince of the Real Dragon Dynasty who was fighting against the foreign races.
Whether it was in terms of status or talent, it was natural for him to have a Secret Order of Fortune and enter the Heavenly Fortune Platform. As long as Long Zun did not die prematurely, he was destined to be valued by the Heavenly Sword Hall and become one of the pillars of the human race in the future.
But then again, Long Zun was indeed very capable to have come from the Chaotic Territory to the West Tiger Territory. The Real Dragon Dynasty was indeed very powerful. Long Zun's early Ninth Transformation Sword Intent was enough to become a thorn in the flesh of the foreign races. However, he was still alive and had come to the West Tiger Territory. This was enough to show that his strength was extraordinary. It also showed that the Real Dragon Dynasty was powerful enough to protect Long Zun's safety.
Chu Mu and the others rushed onto the Heavenly Fortune Platform's stairs like moths to a flame. They immediately felt a strong pressure pressing down on them from all directions. Suddenly, their bodies trembled and their legs sank. Those who were unprepared almost squatted down.
They burst out with power to resist the pressure. Their bodies straightened and their eyes shone with sharp light. Strong Sword Intent gushed out. Its sharpness soared into the sky and stirred up the wind and clouds.
It was at least the late Eighth Transformation Sword Intent. Most of them were at the peak of the Eighth Transformation Sword Intent. They were like invisible divine swords that displayed shocking sharpness.
If an alien race expert were to launch a sneak attack at this moment and kill all one hundred people who had entered the Heavenly Creation Platform, the human race's super geniuses in the West Tiger Territory would be wiped out, resulting in a shortage of manpower.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Creation Platform was powerful. Even a Sword Saint's full-powered attack could not harm it at all, so it was impossible for it to affect the people on the Heavenly Creation Platform. Moreover, if one looked carefully in the sky, one could vaguely see the battleships of the Sword God Hall circling and patrolling. Once they found a target, they would immediately launch a devastating attack without mercy.
With such tight security, the miraculous Divine Creation Platform, and the presence of Sword Saints from many major powers, no foreign race would be willing to pay a huge price to assassinate them.
He quickly adjusted his strength, and while resisting the sudden pressure from the rooftop, he sped up.
333 steps might not sound like a lot, but under the heavy pressure, one's speed was greatly reduced. It was impossible to reach the top in a short period of time.
Chu Mu also discovered that every time he rushed up a flight of stairs, the pressure he faced would become stronger.
Under this constantly increasing pressure, the swordsmen could only adjust their strength time and time again. If it was too small, it would be difficult to resist the pressure. If it was too big, it would cause them to lose their balance and make a fool of themselves.
Under these circumstances, the gap between everyone began to show bit by bit. Without a doubt, Longzun was far in the lead. He was a full ten steps ahead of the second place.
At this moment, Chu Mu was in the middle of the pack. His brain was constantly working, calculating the increase in the pressure of each step, calculating the strength he used, the balance, and so on. He planned to unleash a burst of strength.
As for Cang Mo and the four most outstanding people from the other four major powers, they mustered all their strength and continuously charged forward. Their goal was to catch up to Longzun, or even surpass him.
However, they could only see Longzun's back. He was ten steps away, but no matter how they chased, they could not catch up. They could not even close the gap. It seemed that the gap was constantly being pulled apart.
Since they could not catch up to Longzun, Cang Mo and the other four temporarily gave up on this idea. They focused on fighting for second place. What was the benefit of being second?
There did not seem to be any benefit. However, none of them would think too much about it. They would think about it after getting second place.
Actually, this was a battle for glory. It was related to themselves, and also vaguely related to the powers behind them.
Swords were sharp. Those who practiced the sword would have their own sharpness. However, some people kept their sharpness inside, while others let it out. They all had different forms.
Some swordsmen would show their sharpness everywhere. Some swordsmen would usually keep their sharpness inside, only unleashing it at the crucial moment.
Striving for the top, pressing forward with indomitable will, competing with others. This was the characteristic of swordsmen. From the moment they held a sword, they were destined to be like this. It had little to do with whether they saw through fame and fortune.
In reality, in the world of swordsmen, fame and fortune were only a very small part of fighting for first place. What was truly important was fighting for pride, for a breath of sharpness.
Longzun was like this, Cang Mo and the other four were like this, and so were the other swordsmen. All of them wanted to fight for a better ranking, to get ahead of the others.
Many swordsmen like Chu Mu, who had remained in the middle or even lower ranks at the beginning, began to exert their strength after silently calculating and feeling that they could surpass the others.
Below the Heavenly Creation Platform, the elders of the five major powers and the people of the other powers all stared with wide eyes. Some of them even unconsciously clenched their fists, muttering inwardly about how no one could surpass Longzun. Even if they could not surpass him, it would be good to catch up to him.
Although the Great Chaos Territory was much larger than the West Tiger Territory, no one was willing to be suppressed by the people of the other territories.
However, the early ninth revolution sword intent that Longzun had displayed had firmly suppressed the geniuses of the West Tiger Territory. He was currently far in the lead, further suppressing the geniuses of the West Tiger Territory. There was no hope of catching up to him.
Suddenly, Cang Mo and the other four seemed to have accumulated enough strength. They erupted with a loud bang, shooting off the stairs like arrows from a bow. They shot up and rapidly closed the gap between them and Longzun.
Blue veins bulged on each of their foreheads. It was obvious that they had used all their strength.
"Catch up!"
"Catch up!"
Countless people below the Heavenly Creation Platform were shouting. Even if they were not from the five major powers, they had a common enemy.
"Chu Mu, we had some misunderstandings before. I also paid a price." Li Tao suddenly caught up to Chu Mu and transmitted his voice to Chu Mu. "Since we are all Fortune Disciples now, why don't we let go of the small grudge between us? What do you think?"
He knew Chu Mu's name because he had heard it before.
Although Li Tao had said that he would let go of the grudge between them, his tone was not sincere at all. It even sounded a little forced. Chu Mu could completely imagine that Li Tao had said those words because he had been warned.
The Li Family's strength was far from comparable to the Flying Heaven Pavilion. Perhaps the Li Family was afraid of the Flying Heaven Pavilion's retaliation, which was why they had forced Li Tao to say those words. However, Li Tao was not sincere at all.
Ignoring Li Tao, Chu Mu concentrated on his calculations.
Cang Mo's group of five flew up the stairs, closing in on Longzun.
"You want to compete with me, Longzun? Watch me trample all the West Tiger Territory's geniuses under my feet." Longzun suddenly bellowed. His voice was extremely domineering, giving people a feeling of insufferably arrogance. Following his words, an incomparably tyrannical aura burst out from his body, as if a monarch was descending to the world. The tyrannical airflow rushed out in all directions, causing Cang Mo's group of five to pause for a moment.
With a boom, Longzun's body rushed forward. His terrifying speed caused his body to draw out a dragon-shaped force. Accompanied by a series of resounding sounds, he pulled away from Cang Mo's group of five in an instant, still more than ten steps away.
With one burst, Cang Mo's group of five's speed suddenly dropped. They could only barely maintain their second position, and no longer had the strength to burst out a second time. Staring at the tyrannical back that was still ten steps away, a trace of unwillingness flashed in their eyes. They gritted their teeth and chased after him, unwilling to admit defeat.
Longzun had already passed two hundred and fifty steps out of the three hundred and thirty steps. He was only eighty steps away from reaching the top.
"Chu Mu, don't be so shameless. Otherwise, I'll spread the news that you have a treasure that can amplify your sword intent by a whole level." Li Tao felt that he had already given Chu Mu a lot of face by humbling himself and asking for peace. Now that he saw Chu Mu ignoring him and treating him coldly, the anger in his heart was immediately aroused. He sent another voice transmission to threaten him.
Suddenly, Chu Mu's eyes shone with a sharp light. A sharp light gushed out from his body.
He had already finished calculating. The increase in weight of each step, the increase in strength, and the maximum speed to maintain balance and so on all appeared in his mind. It was very clear, without any error.
Stepping forward, Chu Mu's speed suddenly increased. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. It was as if the pressure on the rooftop no longer existed. In the blink of an eye, he surpassed one person after another, closing in on Cang Mo's group of five.
"Chu Mu is going all out." The pavilion elder of the Flying Heaven Pavilion was stunned. He hurriedly opened his eyes wide and stared carefully to make sure that he was not mistaken.
In an instant, many people's gazes fell on Chu Mu, following his movements.
Cang Mo's group of five was struggling to catch up. Out of the corner of their eyes, they saw a figure flash by quickly. After Longzun's back, another figure appeared, quickly moving further away, quickly closing in on Longzun's back.
Five steps … Four steps … Three steps … Two steps … One step …
With another step, Chu Mu was already at the same level as Longzun. Countless people's hearts clenched.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Mu had caught up and was about to be overtaken. Longzun erupted again. With a resounding dragon roar, he once again surpassed Chu Mu. However, in an instant, Chu Mu caught up and overtook him. Then, Longzun caught up with Chu Mu and surpassed Chu Mu once again …
