Dala listened to the discussions of the Immortals around him and turned to look at Tan Xiu. His expression was a bit strange as he asked via voice transmission, "Did Fellow Immortal just send a voice transmission to Black Zephyr? Are you giving him pointers? "
"That's right," replied Tan Xiu via voice transmission. "But he was able to break through under tremendous pressure, indicating that his potential hasn't been fully stimulated before."
"You're amazing, Fellow Immortal. It seems that Black Zephyr owes you too much." Dala forced a smile.
"Black Zephyr doesn't belong to any force. He's been exploring his own path of cultivation and has encountered enough trials and tribulations. That's why he can be so dazzling." Tan Xiu smiled. "I think we can give such people some chances."
Dala stared deeply at Tan Xiu and asked, "What's your origin, Fellow Immortal? This old man owes you a huge favor, but I'll have to find someone to repay it in the future! "
Tang Xiu gave it a thought and suddenly revealed a smile. Then, he transmitted his voice and said, "If Senior really wants to repay this favor, you might as well help the Vermillion Bird Holy Sect when you break through to the Supremacy Stage. The Immortal World hasn't been peaceful recently, and I can't stand the behavior of some people. Just give this benefit to the Rosefinch Holy Sect! "
Dala narrowed his eyes and slowly nodded after a long while. "Rest assured, Fellow Immortal."
On the 17th day after the fourth batch of 900 Immortals set foot on the long bridge, Black Zephyr finally stepped on the 9,999th step. He was just one step away from passing the long bridge test.
"Don't go up!"
At this moment, more than 90% of the Immortals were praying inwardly. Because once Black Zephyr passed this test, they would have one more competitor if they could pass it in the future.
Unfortunately …
Black Zephyr let them down. As he firmly took the last step, the huge spatial pressure suddenly disappeared out of thin air. Immediately after, he turned around and looked deeply at Tan Xiu again, sending a voice transmission. "Black Zephyr will always keep this favor in mind. If Fellow Immortal has any request in the future, Black Zephyr will definitely fulfill it."
Having said that.
He turned around and rushed toward the gate of the Drunken Immortal Palace on the opposite side of the square.
Dala was not in a hurry to leave. He was now deeply curious about Tan Xiu, so he wanted to see how far Tan Xiu could go after stepping on the long bridge.
"Are you going?"
Dala asked.
Tan Xiu pondered for a moment and looked at the four people around him. Finally, he nodded silently and said, "Since four batches have gone up, let's go up in the fifth batch! Remember, only when you break through under great pressure will it be easier. "
"En!"
Star Tears and the other three nodded.
There was one thing that Tan Xiu did not tell them. With his ability, he could easily send the four of them to the other end of the long bridge, allowing them to avoid this test. However, Tan Xiu did not plan to do so, because this kind of trial was not bad. Instead, it was beneficial to their cultivation.
Six hours later.
Numerous lightning-fast silhouettes sprinted to the first step of the bridge. Almost in an instant, everyone's footsteps stepped on the first step.
Tang Xiu didn't use the array in the Secret Palace's space. He also wanted to see his potential and wanted to give himself a trial by fire opportunity. If he really couldn't hold on, he would use some means to cross the long bridge. He would even help the other four if they could pass the threshold of the 8,000th step.
"Follow me closely, Auntie Star Tears."
Tan Xiu transmitted his voice to her and then walked forward step by step, withstanding the spatial pressure.
Half a day later.
When Tang Xiu's pace came to a halt and he turned around to look behind him, he suddenly froze and a strange expression appeared on his face. He found that not only was he far ahead of the first person, but he was also hundreds of steps behind the second person.
"It's not that difficult, is it?"
Tang Xiu furrowed his brows with a puzzled expression on his face. After hesitating for a while, he decided to wait at the 6,000th step.
After a day and a half, Tan Xiu climbed to the 6,000th step. He didn't know that the thousands of Immortals who had or hadn't taken the trial had been shocked by his terrifying posture.
"Is he still human? It only took him a day and a half to reach the 6,000th step? Is this long bridge his back garden? "
"Where did this guy come from? His speed is too fast. Isn't he afraid that he'll use up all his strength and greatly reduce the time he can hold on later? "
"What's his cultivation level? I don't think the spatial pressure has any effect on him. What the hell is going on? "
"It's too terrifying. This guy is really heaven-defying. I've never seen him before. Where did he come from?"
"A peerless genius!"
"… …"
Dala's old face was already filled with shock. Even the burly man beside him had his mouth wide open. He didn't expect that the kid who struck up a conversation with his master would be so terrifying.
After a long time …
Seeing that Tan Xiu didn't continue his journey, he gulped down and sighed. "That Great Tang Heavenly Emperor is really terrifying, Master! He has such strong potential at such a young age. If he doesn't die prematurely in the future, I'm afraid he'll become a Supremacy Stage powerhouse. "
"I don't know if he can become a Supremacy Stage powerhouse, but breaking through to the Perfected Golden Immortal Stage is absolutely not a problem for him given his aptitude. He's very mysterious and very interesting. Although this old man hasn't left the sect for a long time, I've never encountered such a young man who I can't see through at all. "
The burly man stared blankly. He didn't expect his Master to have such a high evaluation of Great Tang Heavenly Emperor. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Master, do you want me to investigate his identity after we leave the Secret Palace?"
"No need." Dala shook his head and said, "It's not necessary. I'm indebted to this young man! "
"What?"
The burly man looked puzzled.
Dala didn't speak again. Instead, he was looking forward to Tan Xiu. He was looking forward to Tan Xiu crossing the long bridge and even hoped that Tan Xiu could obtain the inheritance of Drunken Immortal Supreme. If he could get the inheritance of Drunken Immortal Supreme, he might be able to get some benefits with his relationship with him.
On the long bridge.
Chivalrous Sword Venerable's eyes gleamed with a cold light. He looked up at Tan Xiu on the 6,000th stair with murderous intent burning in his heart. He was originally very confident that he could become the most outstanding and dazzling peerless genius among the fifth batch of bridge climbers. But who would have thought that a mysterious young man would suddenly appear and take away all the glory that should have belonged to him?
He had to settle for second place.
This was something that Chivalrous Sword Venerable was extremely unwilling to accept. But when he found that this damn brat stopped at the 6,000th stair and didn't move forward for a long time, he slowly relaxed. It was only a matter of time before he caught up with him and even surpassed him.
"The most dazzling peerless genius must be me! I'm known as the most talented monstrous genius of the Myriad Sword Sect in the last 10,000 years, so I must be the first to cross the long bridge. I must successfully pass this test and reach the outside of the Drunken Immortal Palace. I even want to get the inheritance of Drunken Immortal Supreme. By then, all the treasures in this Secret Palace will belong to me alone. "
The sixth day.
Chivalrous Sword Venerable finally reached the 6,000th stair. He shot a deep look at Tan Xiu and immediately said, "Come and chase me if you still have the strength. I'll let you know that I'm the most dazzling one among the fifth batch of bridge climbers. "
Having said that …
He didn't give Tan Xiu a chance to speak at all. He lifted his right foot again and stepped on the 6,0001st stair.
Tan Xiu looked at his back with a sneer in his eyes. Immediately after, he looked down and found that Star Luminous and Star Peng were only about 200 steps away from the 6,000th stair, whereas Sablefiend Scorpio was only about 300 steps away from the 6,000th stair. Star Tears, on the other hand, had just passed the 5,000th stair. It would probably take a long time for her to reach the 6,000th stair.
Suddenly …
Tang Xiu found that Star Tears' body straightened up a lot. A smile climbed up her face and her pace suddenly quickened as she climbed up the stairs. In just half a day, Star Tears had already reached the 6,000th stair. At this time, Star Luminous and Star Peng were still more than 10 steps away from the 6,000th stair.
"I found an interesting problem," said Star Tears with a smile after coming to Tan Xiu's side.
"What interesting problem?" asked Tan Xiu, puzzled.
"If my guess is correct, all the Immortals who break through in the Secret Palace have to bear the spatial pressure that targets their cultivation level outside," said Star Tears with a smile. "Sablefiend Scorpio is hiding her strength, but I broke through under the huge pressure."
"You broke through?" asked Tan Xiu in surprise.
"Yes, I did." Star Tears nodded slowly and smiled.
Quickly.
Star Luminous and Star Peng reached the 6,000th stair at the same time. However, just when they thought they were stronger than one of Tan Xiu's subordinates, they keenly noticed that a figure beside them also reached the 6,000th stair.
"You're a bit slow at the beginning."
Sablefiend Scorpio said slowly with a smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.
"Weren't you very slow before, Senior?" Star Luminous was surprised. "And the distance from us …"
Sablefiend Scorpio glanced at Star Tears and lightly smiled. "This proves that my potential is no worse than yours."
Tan Xiu slightly smiled and said, "Alright, let's stop chatting. Since we've reached the 6,000th stair, let's sprint to the 8,000th stair! If you can reach the 8,000th stair, I can guarantee that you'll pass this test. If you can't reach the 8,000th stair, then don't even think about getting the inheritance of Drunken Immortal Supreme. "
"I can do it!"
Although Star Peng felt strenuous, his eyes were extremely firm.
"We have our own difficulties, so we must pass," said Star Luminous in a deep voice. "Only by becoming stronger and obtaining the inheritance of Drunken Immortal Supreme can we resolve the crisis facing our families."
"Is your family facing a crisis?" asked Tan Xiu lightly. "Do you want me to help you again?"
"No need!"
Star Peng and Star Luminous answered at the same time. Although they guessed that Tan Xiu was one of them, they didn't dare to guarantee it with 100% certainty, so they directly refused.
