Tan Xiu moved forward again. Not only was his speed not slower than before, but it was also slightly faster. Even though the pressure was a bit big, it wasn't unbearable. At the 7,200th step, Tan Xiu finally caught up with Heroic Sword Venerable, who had been talking nonsense before.
"How is this possible?"
Heroic Sword Venerable also noticed that Tan Xiu had caught up with him and immediately looked shocked. His mind was shaken, causing his body to stagger and almost be forced back by the oppressive force.
A smile outlined on the corner of Tan Xiu's mouth as he lightly said, "Man, never be too arrogant! Never be too arrogant, because if you talk nonsense, you will easily be slapped in the face. If you want to become the most dazzling of the fifth batch of immortals, I'm afraid you can only dream about it. "
After saying that.
Tang Xiu took another step and surpassed Heroic Swordsman Venerable to directly ascend the 7,201st stair. In the following time, he kept pulling away from Chivalrous Sword Venerable under the resentful eyes of the venerable. In just over a day, Tang Xiu had reached the 8,000th stair.
He then turned around and looked down.
Tang Xiu saw Chivalrous Sword Venerable struggling to move forward and saw his angry eyes. He immediately raised his middle finger and contemptuously said, "You're overestimating yourself if you think that rubble can compare with pearls."
Pfft …
Heroic Sword Venerable coughed up a mouthful of blood after hearing Tan Xiu's words. His body trembled a few times and he directly knelt on one knee. Only then did he barely stabilize his body and didn't retreat.
At the bridgehead.
Thousands of Immortals were thoroughly shocked by Tan Xiu. After asking each other, they finally found out Tan Xiu's name — Great Tang Heavenly Emperor. However, no one knew where this Great Tang Heavenly Emperor came from, what sect, and what force he belonged to.
"Did this Great Tang Heavenly Emperor just pop out from a crack in a rock? With his previous aptitude and cultivation, he should have already become famous in the Immortal World! Why have I never heard of this person before? "
"Is Great Tang Heavenly Emperor his real name? He had never heard of it before. Could it be that he was a peerless genius secretly nurtured by some super sect? Did you just start to travel in the Immortal World recently? "
"This is too heaven-defying! If he hadn't stayed at the 6,000th step for so many days, I'm afraid he would have passed the test of the long bridge and arrived outside the Drunken Immortal Hall, right? "
"He's not old. I can feel that he's really young. However, such a young man actually had such great potential. It was simply unimaginable. Could it be that in the end, he will be the one to become the successor of Drunken Immortal Supreme? "
"This is too terrifying! His speed was very fast, much faster than any other climber. It's as if the spatial pressure on the bridge didn't have much of an effect. "
"This is the fifth batch of geniuses! Apart from the Great Tang Heavenly Emperor, there were still more than twenty people left on the bridge. This was simply inconceivable! However, the peerless genius of the Wan Jian House, the Honorable Swordsman, seems to be dying! "
"…"
Dala looked at Tan Xiu with a complicated expression. With his eyesight, how could he not see that Tan Xiu was still skillful and at ease? He hadn't even used his full strength under such a huge spatial pressure.
'I'm afraid those people from the Inner Pill Sect and the Everlasting Palace will be out of luck if this boy grows up. He … should be related to the Rosefinch Holy Sect. 'Dala thought silently.
At his side.
The burly man was shocked and murmured, "This Great Tang Heavenly Emperor is too strong, Master. There seems to be no one more powerful than him aside from Black Zephyr. I have a feeling that he can definitely pass the test of the long bridge and arrive outside the Drunken Immortal Hall. "
Dala nodded slowly and said, "There's no objection that he can pass. However, the four people around him seem to be very powerful as well. All of them have reached more than 6,800 steps and seem to be able to persist for a long time. "
The burly man said, "Master, what is the origin of this Great Tang Heavenly Emperor? Why haven't I heard of him before with his aptitude? Also, the four people around him have obviously changed their appearance and aura. Could it be that they don't dare to show their true faces? "
"They might have some powerful enemies!" said Dala.
"If they have any powerful enemies, then their enemies will be in big trouble," said the burly man. "If any of these five people grow up and break through to the Supremacy Stage, I'm afraid they'll be ridiculously strong."
At the steps.
Star Peng's eyes flashed with madness. The huge spatial pressure had pushed him to his limit. However, he still persisted for the inheritance and to resolve the crisis for the sect.
Puff …
Just as he reached the 7,864th step, he finally couldn't withstand the huge pressure and flew backward with a loud bang before heavily crashing on the bridgehead.
"I can't accept this!"
Star Peng's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his fists tightly and slammed them on the ground.
Star Luminous was three steps behind Star Peng. His eyes turned completely crazy when he saw Star Peng flying backward. They were the only ones who came to the Boundless Mountain Range and entered the Secret Palace. Now that Star Peng had failed, he was the only one left. The pressure in his heart was even greater than the spatial pressure here.
Persist!
I must persist!
Even if I die, I must climb up!
Star Luminous gritted his teeth and frantically circulated the Immortal Force in his body. He had made up his mind that even if he died in this trial, he must not be blasted back by the pressure.
Step by step.
His body kept trembling, his eyes burned with a crazy flame, and even the muscles all over his body were trembling violently.
Persist!
This word had become his only belief now.
"Boom …"
A surging aura erupted from Star Luminous's body. Almost in an instant, he, who was almost withstanding the pressure to his limit, suddenly felt his body lighten.
"Did … did I break through?"
Star Luminous never dreamed that he would break through to the Perfected Golden Immortal Stage at this moment. It must be noted that it had only been 700 years since he broke through to the Golden Immortal Stage. Suddenly, he understood a kind of state — the Heavenly Dao rewards diligence and perseverance.
At this moment.
Star Luminous felt the urge to cry.
Ever since his Grandmaster, the Great Tang Heavenly Emperor, failed his tribulation and perished, ever since the Rosefinch Holy Sect was attacked by several forces and was in a precarious situation, ever since his fellow disciples were constantly being killed, and the sect's resources were gradually drying up. He had been persisting and persisting.
Many fellow disciples gave up on themselves, reproached themselves, and even fell into despair. But he didn't. With the title of a peerless genius of the Rosefinch Holy Sect, he desperately cultivated, fought, and hovered on the edge of life and death, constantly accumulating strength.
The reason he could live until now was entirely due to his tenacious perseverance.
"There's still a long way to go. Keep going and persevere."
Star Luminous took a deep breath. The ecstasy in his eyes was slowly suppressed by him and replaced with an extraordinarily firm determination. When he took another step forward, he felt much more relaxed.
Soon.
Star Luminous came to the 8,000th step. When he looked up at Tan Xiu, he found that Tan Xiu's eyes were full of gratification.
Gratification?
Star Luminous's expression shifted and he respectfully asked, "Did you see that I've broken through, Great Tang Senior?"
"Of course." Tan Xiu smiled and said, "You wouldn't have been able to reach the 8,000th step so easily if you hadn't broken through to the Perfected Golden Immortal Stage. The Rosefinch Holy Sect is truly blessed! To think that such a peerless genius like you actually appeared here. "
Star Luminous's expression greatly changed and his eyes were full of vigilance when he looked at Tan Xiu.
"You don't need to be vigilant against me. What you need to understand now is that I have no hostility toward you," Tan Xiu said with a voice transmission. "Otherwise, you and Star Peng would've been dead before entering the Secret Palace."
Star Luminous stared blankly and immediately came to his senses. He awkwardly said, "I'm sorry, Great Tang Senior."
Tan Xiu waved his hand indifferently and said, "I have a deep relationship with your Rosefinch Holy Sect. I didn't expect that you would reach this point now. Alright, let's end our conversation here and move on! I'm sure this test won't be difficult for you if your mind is firm enough. "
"Understood!"
Star Luminous replied and stepped on the 8,001st step again.
Quickly.
Star Tears and Sablefiend Scorpio also reached the 8,000th step. They even surpassed Heroic Sword Venerable of the Myriad Sword Sect. However, Heroic Sword Venerable was only three steps away from the 8,000th step.
"Let's go! Otherwise, some idiot will brag again if he catches up with us. "Tan Xiu faintly glanced at Heroic Sword Venerable and said disdainfully.
"You bastard!"
Heroic Sword Venerable roared angrily.
Tan Xiu ignored him, but Star Tears' face was full of murderous intent as if she wanted to chop Heroic Sword Venerable into pieces. However, she knew that this was not the time to kill Heroic Sword Venerable, so she suppressed her killing intent and followed Tan Xiu to climb up.
On the 16th day.
Tan Xiu, Star Tears, Star Luminous, and Sablefiend Scorpio passed the long bridge test. When the four came outside the Drunken Immortal Palace, Black Zephyr old freak quickly came to greet them. Although he was a bit surprised to see Tan Xiu, he still respectfully said, "Thank you, Fellow Immortal."
Tan Xiu faintly smiled and shook his head. "You don't need to thank me. It's your good fortune."
Black Zephyr old freak asked, "Do you have any wish for me to do for you, Fellow Immortal?"
Tan Xiu transmitted his voice. "I recently got to know a very talented young friend. He's Star Luminous, a peerless genius of the Rosefinch Holy Sect. Coincidentally, he just broke through under the pressure of the long bridge just like you. He's now a Perfected Golden Immortal. I'm sure you're aware of the current situation of the Rosefinch Holy Sect. If you really want to thank me, then wait for the time when the Rosefinch Holy Sect is in trouble in the future. Help me! "
"Understood!"
Black Zephyr old freak carefully observed Star Luminous a few times. Then, he silently nodded and said, "We need nine Immortals who have successfully arrived here to activate the Nine Stars Array together if we want to enter the Drunken Immortal Palace. We only have five people now, so we need four more. "
