Hua Xiaoqian's worries were also what everyone was most worried about now. It wasn't easy for them to send Wu Ningzhu to the fiery stairs, but now she was facing the most severe test. However, they were also very clear that Wu Ningzhu could only rely on herself to pass such a test. The others couldn't help her at all.
"We can't intervene in the test of Empress Xiao Yao at all. We can only watch helplessly."
Da Huang Dog shook his head and said.
"I believe that Sister Ning will succeed."
Jiang Chen said in an incomparably firm tone. His confidence in Wu Ningzhu was well-founded. Wu Ningzhu herself was a person with great perseverance. As the Saintess of Profound River Palace, she wore a veil for the sake of her mother. Her lifelong goal was to reunite with her mother one day. How could such a person who had such a great ambition from a young age be weak?
Furthermore, those who could ascend from the Mortal World must have strong perseverance and mind. Otherwise, how could they become Immortals?
Moreover, Jiang Chen believed in Empress Xiao Yao's vision. An Ancient Emperor wouldn't be casual in choosing an inheritor. Since Wu Ningzhu was chosen by Empress Xiao Yao and passed the test, it meant that the Xiao Yao Qin had already acknowledged Wu Ningzhu as its master. It also meant that in its subconscious, Wu Ningzhu would definitely pass the test, ascend the fiery stairs, and pick herself up.
"Of course. How can anyone who Empress Xiao Yao fancies not succeed? But even if she succeeds in the end, it will be a very difficult process. As the saying goes, a phoenix will rise from the ashes. This is a great opportunity for Sister Ning, but also a great tribulation."
Da Huang Dog said. His thoughts were the same as Jiang Chen's. He had no doubt that Wu Ningzhu would eventually succeed in obtaining the inheritance of the Great Emperor, but the process would certainly not be easy. However, any successful person would have to go through hardships. If Wu Ningzhu couldn't even ascend the fiery stairs, she would be destined to be ordinary for the rest of her life if she was abandoned by Empress Xiao Yao.
On the fiery stairs, Wu Ningzhu gritted her teeth and lifted her foot towards the 21st step.
Boom …
However, just as Wu Ningzhu stepped onto the twenty-first step, the fiery stairs immediately underwent an extremely intense change. The Fire of the Sun suddenly launched an attack on Wu Ningzhu. Wu Ningzhu's entire body was covered in flames. Even from afar, people could see that the Fire of the Sun was burning Wu Ningzhu's body.
"Not good."
Han Yan exclaimed. Everyone became nervous. At first, they thought that Wu Ningzhu would be under some kind of invisible pressure on the fiery stairs, which was why she moved slowly. They did not expect that after reaching the 21st floor, the flames would start to attack her.
"Don't panic. This is the real test. As the saying goes, a phoenix rises from the ashes. Elder Sister Ning is going to be reborn in the Fire of the Sun. The Fire of the Sun will let her be reborn, allowing her to possess the complete bloodline of the Golden Crow. Empress Xiao Yao is the supreme Empress of the Golden Clan. In order to obtain the inheritance of Empress Xiao Yao and control the Xiao Yao Qin, one must possess the complete bloodline of the Golden Crow. This is Elder Sister Ning's true fortune. None of us can help her. However, the tempering of the Fire of the Sun is extremely cruel.
If she really can't bear it, she is likely to die on the fiery stairs. "Da Huang Dog said solemnly. He was very clear about the situation in front of him. He knew that this was a great opportunity for Wu Ningzhu. Not only was she going to obtain the inheritance of Empress Xiao Yao, she was also going to possess the bloodline of the Golden Crow. However, this process was undoubtedly extremely painful and dangerous. It was not that easy to successfully inherit the inheritance and obtain the body of the Golden Crow.
Da Huang Dog's words made everyone nervous again. Under the burning of the Fire of the Sun and the pressure of the raging flames, she had to walk step by step to the top of the fiery stairs. There were still eighty steps left, which was by no means an easy task. However, in this situation, no one could help her. Even if Jiang Chen had extraordinary means, he could only watch helplessly and pray in his heart that Wu Ningzhu could successfully merge with the Golden Crow bloodline.
As the saying goes, a phoenix rises from the ashes, a butterfly breaks out of the cocoon. It was not as simple as it sounded. Perhaps only the person involved knew the process and pressure involved.
Wu Ningzhu gritted her teeth and continued to crawl forward. That's right, she was crawling at this moment. Every time she climbed a step, the Fire of the Sun would become fiercer. The essence of the flame constantly seeped into Wu Ningzhu's skin and rushed into her body, trying to refine Wu Ningzhu from the inside out and make her undergo a real earth-shaking change.
By the time Wu Ningzhu reached the 25th step, the Fire of the Sun had turned into a sea of flames, completely submerging Wu Ningzhu. Looking from the outside, it was impossible to see Wu Ningzhu's figure clearly. She had completely turned into a flaming person. The expressions of countless people became solemn. Whether they hoped for Wu Ningzhu to fail or hoped for her to succeed, at this moment, they all had a trace of respect for Wu Ningzhu. They could all imagine the pain and suffering that Wu Ningzhu was enduring at this moment. However, Wu Ningzhu didn't say a word. She didn't even let out a scream. She just kept crawling forward.
"What a strong willpower. If it was me, I wouldn't have been able to hold on. Even if it was the remains of the Great Sovereign, I would have given up."
"The burning of the Fire of the Sun is from the inside out. That kind of pain is unimaginable. I didn't expect this girl to have such great willpower. I have underestimated her. However, there are still seventy-five steps up. If this continues, I'm afraid that she won't be able to hold on until the end. She will die tragically on the fiery stairs."
"That's right. It seems like the remains of the Great Sovereign isn't that easy to obtain. Such a test isn't something that a half-step Immortal Emperor can resist."
… …..
Many of them were shocked. No one dared to underestimate Wu Ningzhu anymore, but they all felt that Wu Ningzhu was going to die this time, because the situation wasn't optimistic. The Fire of the Sun was just too strong and there was still a long fiery stairs to climb.
Finally, Wu Ningzhu climbed to the 30th step with great difficulty. She finally let out a scream. Her voice was hoarse and creepy, making people feel incomparably worried. The current Wu Ningzhu's legs had been completely incinerated. That kind of pain was simply incomprehensible and unimaginable to ordinary people.
"Sister Ning."
Jiang Chen yelled. Despite his iron blood, he couldn't bear it any longer. His eyes were red. The scream of Wu Ningzhu almost tore Jiang Chen's heart apart. He really couldn't bear to watch such a scene anymore. Jiang Chen wanted to turn his head away, but he didn't dare to. He wanted to watch Wu Ningzhu climb up.
How Jiang Chen wished that he was the one standing in the sea of fire at this moment, so that he could bear the pain of Wu Ningzhu. At this moment, the memories of him and Wu Ningzhu began to surface in Jiang Chen's mind. Each and every one of them was happy or unhappy.
This was his woman. Now, he could only watch his beloved woman suffer endless torture, and he could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything to help. This kind of feeling was incomprehensible to ordinary people. This was the first time in Jiang Chen's life that he felt so useless.
Da Huang Dog, Han Yan, Long Shisan and the others didn't say a word. Their eyes were red and their fists were clenched tightly. One could imagine the worry in their hearts. Lan Lingji, Hua Xiaoqian and the female disciples of the two major powers turned their heads away. They couldn't bear to watch such a scene any longer.
On the fiery stairs, Wu Ningzhu was still climbing up. After letting out a scream at the beginning, she became completely silent.
On the 35th step, the lower half of Wu Ningzhu's body had been completely incinerated, as though she had disappeared from this Heaven and Earth. The fire of the Fire of Sun was getting stronger and stronger, as though it was going to incinerate everything in the Heavens and Earth. Wu Ningzhu's will was almost blurred, but the obsession in her heart didn't vanish, supporting her to continue climbing.
"I can do it, I can definitely do it. This pain is nothing."
The obsession in Wu Ningzhu's heart kept surging. She wanted to become stronger. She didn't want to be a burden to Jiang Chen. Perhaps, Wu Ningzhu wasn't a strong woman. Her greatest desire was to accompany Jiang Chen all the way. Therefore, she had to become stronger. She wanted to become someone useful to Jiang Chen and not be a burden like a flower vase.
The corner of Jiang Chen's eyes finally turned moist. It wasn't tears, but heartache. Jiang Chen felt that his heart was about to stop beating. Such a scene had almost suffocated him.
"Sister Ning."
Jiang Chen called out Wu Ningzhu's name. His voice was hoarse as though something was stuck in his throat. He could feel the obsession in Wu Ningzhu. It was an obsession that couldn't even be incinerated by the raging fire. Even if her body was destroyed, the obsession wouldn't vanish.
The sorrow of the Heavens and Earth, the unrequited love!
The reincarnation of raging fire, the unquenchable love!
All of a sudden, Jiang Chen understood the persistence of Venerable Wang Qing. Even if one wanted to forget their feelings, they would still have to return to their past. Jiang Chen wouldn't forget his feelings and it was impossible for him to do so. There were some feelings that couldn't be forgotten. Even Xiao Wangqing couldn't do it, so he had to find his feelings again.
Waves of fire surged.
A figure completely submerged in flames was still crawling forward. Everyone was moved, and the entire scene was strangely quiet. People did not even dare to breathe too heavily, afraid that they would disturb this heavy determination.
Wu Ningzhu's obsession seemed to have materialized, drifting and moving among the crowd.
Lan Lingji grabbed Long Shisan's hand and held it tightly. This was the first time in her life that she held a man's hand, and it was an initiative. She was moved by the affection between Jiang Chen and Wu Ningzhu. She looked at Long Shisan, wondering if Long Shisan would shed tears of heartache like Jiang Chen if she was in the sea of fire.
If a woman could fall in love once in her life, it would be worth it even if she had to die.
