At this moment, the people gathered at the Golden Pagoda, whether it was the countless Mortal Immortals, the slightly famous Elegant Immortals, or the senior experts of the various secret realms of the Bipolar Sky Domain, were all looking up at the Golden Pagoda with eyes wide open. Their expressions were filled with shock, horror, disbelief, and incredulity.
They all knew that this nouveau riche, Xuan Yun, Bai Yufei, and Liu Feng had a bet on whether this nouveau riche could successfully ascend to the 27th floor of the Golden Pagoda.
To tell the truth.
If Mu Lingyao, Xuan Yun, and the others had not made such a big fuss today, almost no one would have paid attention to this bet.
In everyone's opinion, this nouveau riche would never be able to ascend to the 27th floor of the Golden Pagoda.
The reason was simple.
This nouveau riche was mysterious and had used some unorthodox means to scare four Taibai Golden Immortals to death on the Floating Island.
However, to enter the Golden Pagoda, one did not rely on one's own cultivation base, nor any magic treasures in the Destiny realm, nor any unorthodox methods. Instead, one relied on one's perception, knowledge, and deduction ability.
Most importantly, luck played a large role in the Golden Pagoda. There were so many variables that no one knew which floor one would ascend to after ascending the Golden Pagoda.
Moreover, they were betting on the 27th floor of the Golden Pagoda. This height was extremely high. Not to mention the Mortal Immortals with ordinary aptitude and Ya Xian 'er with good comprehension, even the knowledgeable senior experts present who had cultivated for countless years could not hope to ascend to the 27th floor of the Golden Pagoda.
What did this nouveau riche have?
He had no cultivation.
He had no creation.
He had no temperament.
He had no power.
He had nothing. His speech and actions were as exaggerated as they could be. He said that ascending to the 27th floor was like child's play, and that ascending to the 81st floor would be as easy as flipping his hand. Someone who could say such things was probably an ignorant person who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, even if he was not mentally deranged.
How could he be a nouveau riche? Even if he was a nouveau riche, there was no guarantee that he could ascend to the 27th floor of the Golden Pagoda.
No one was optimistic about this nouveau riche who called himself a nouveau riche. Many people thought that if he ascended to the Golden Pagoda, he would probably be eliminated on the second floor.
However …
Who would have thought that this upstart wouldn't be eliminated on the second floor? Instead, he continued to climb all the way to the twenty-second floor. No one could believe their eyes.
That was truly a skyrocketing journey, unimpeded all the way.
It was true.
When the others entered the Golden Pagoda, they were all very careful and focused on deducing. They did not dare to be distracted at all because the formation of the Golden Pagoda was constantly changing. Once they were distracted, the deduction would be in vain.
What about this upstart?
Ever since he entered the Golden Pagoda, he was neither cautious nor focused.
He really didn't. Everyone saw it clearly. When the upstart broke into the golden pagoda, he was still leisurely. He was swallowing the Marrow Cleansing Pill while smoking the Ling Yan 'er. From time to time, he would even take out a wine jug and drink a cup of wine.
He did not give off the feeling that he was in the Golden Pagoda at all. He was more like a tourist who was enjoying the scenery at the top of the Golden Pagoda, and a tourist who was bored to death.
However, this tourist who was enjoying the scenery was able to pass through level after level after level after entering the Golden Pagoda. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the twenty-fourth floor.
This caused people to be deeply bewildered.
How did he do it?
Was it luck?
No!
Absolutely impossible.
Everyone knew that it was impossible to reach the twenty-fourth floor of the Golden Pagoda by luck.
But if it wasn't luck, then what was it?
Could it be that his perception was really extraordinary? His divine sense was extremely powerful? His deduction skills were unparalleled?
But the problem now was that he did not seem to be deducing at all. Every time he ascended a floor, he would stand at the side and wait for the formation to condense. When the formation was condensed, he would casually choose a formation and step on it without hesitation. Then, he would appear on the next floor. It was as if he already knew which formation would lead to the next floor.
How was this possible?
How did he do it?
No one knew.
No one knew.
All they knew was that the nouveau riche continued to pass level after level of the Golden Pagoda. Twenty-fifth floor, twenty-sixth floor. Finally, he appeared on the twenty-seventh floor.
The crowd was in an uproar.
No one could believe that this was real.
Especially Fairy Hua Die, Mu Lingyao, Qian Ling, and the others, they couldn't believe it. They had always thought that there was something wrong with Gu Qingfeng's mind. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such ridiculous things.
But now.
After witnessing Gu Qingfeng reach the twenty-seventh floor of the Golden Pagoda, they might not know if there was something wrong with Gu Qingfeng's head or if there was something wrong with his head. But there was one thing they all knew, and that was that Gu Qingfeng was not lying.
Reaching the twenty-seventh floor of the Golden Pagoda was like a game to him. He smoked his spirit cigarette, ate his spirit fruit, and drank his wine. Just like that, he casually reached the twenty-seventh floor of the Golden Pagoda.
If they did not see it with their own eyes, no one would have believed it. But now that they saw it with their own eyes, they still found it unbelievable.
To Fairy Hua Die and the others, Gu Qingfeng ascending to the 27th floor of the Golden Pagoda was unbelievable and inconceivable. However, to Xuan Yun, Bai Yufei, and Liu Feng, it was not just unbelievable and inconceivable. It was a kind of despair.
It was as if they had lost a bet that they were sure to win in the end. It was a baffling loss, and it was a loss that left them in complete despair.
The huge difference made them unable to believe it at all. They could not accept such a cruel fact.
At first.
Before the Golden Pagoda opened, the three of them made a bet with Gu Qingfeng purely out of jealousy. They wanted to use this opportunity to show off, and more importantly, to embarrass Gu Qingfeng.
Later, after Mu Lingyao humiliated them in front of everyone, the three of them decided to use this bet to extinguish Mu Lingyao's arrogance.
It wasn't that the three of them hadn't thought about what would happen if Gu Qingfeng really ascended to the 27th level of the Gold Plunder Pagoda, especially Xuan Yun. He had thought about this problem before and had even been deeply worried about it. Gu Qingfeng's calm and indifferent appearance had made him feel uncertain.
However, Mu Lingyao stood out and tried to stop them, trying to void the bet. Only then did Xuan Yun's worry gradually dissipate. And the more Mu Lingyao tried to stop them, the less worried he became. In the end, Mu Lingyao lied and said that Gu Qingfeng was mentally ill, and Xuan Yun's worry completely disappeared.
