On top of the Floating Cloud Mountain, a sea of clouds surrounded the Immortal Cloud Platform.
The Immortal Cloud Platform had a staircase that led up step by step. There were a total of 999 steps. The Floating Cloud Palace Elder sent Chen Zong to the bottom of the Immortal Cloud Platform before letting Chen Zong go up himself.
Chen Zong raised his head and looked up. The cloud staircase seemed to be endless, as if it led straight to the sky. At the end of the staircase, there seemed to be immortal clouds lingering around, like a fairyland, full of dreamy colors.
The Floating Cloud King was on top of the Immortal Cloud Platform.
Chen Zong didn't know why the Floating Cloud King asked him to find him but didn't meet him directly. Instead, he wanted him to come to the Immortal Cloud Platform, but after all, the other party was a master who had surpassed the Transcendent Realm, so he naturally had his reasons for doing things.
Of course, if Chen Zong was also a master who had surpassed the Transcendent Realm, the Floating Cloud King wouldn't have done this.
Quickly adjusting his spirit and eliminating all distracting thoughts, Chen Zong took a step forward and stepped onto the first step of the cloud staircase. The moment his feet landed on the first step, Chen Zong felt a slight difference.
Immediately, he took the second and third step. As he walked up step by step, the feeling became more and more obvious.
Heavy pressure!
There was a heavy pressure on the cloud staircase, and as he walked up step by step, the pressure became more and more obvious and stronger. It pressed down from all directions, as if it wanted to crush him.
However, the current strength of the pressure didn't affect Chen Zong much.
His footsteps were quick as he quickly ascended.
The cloud staircase of the Immortal Cloud Platform had a total of 999 steps. When Chen Zong crossed the first 330 steps, the moment he stepped onto the 334th step, he felt his body sink, and the pressure increased sharply.
However, this level of pressure was still within the range of Chen Zong's endurance.
At the bottom of the cloud staircase, the Floating Cloud Palace Elder stared at Chen Zong with his hands behind his back. The cloud staircase of the Immortal Cloud Platform was mysterious and not easy to break through.
The pressure continued to increase, and when it reached the 667th step, the pressure increased again. It was extremely terrifying, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down from the sky. Chen Zong almost fell down.
Activating the Clear Sky Art to its fullest extent, a green light spread out and covered his entire body. An astonishing aura spread out along with it. Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi gathered from all directions, and the green halo became even more dazzling.
"Low-grade Spirit Level Cultivation Technique … He has already grasped the technique intent." The Floating Cloud Palace Elder below was immediately shocked.
Although in Yang Kai's eyes, a Spirit Grade Low-Rank Secret Art wasn't anything special and grasping Secret Art Intent wasn't anything special, the fact that Yang Kai wasn't even twenty years old and had only recently broken through to the Transcendent Realm was quite shocking.
"Why isn't such a peerless genius a disciple of my Floating Cloud Palace?" The elder couldn't help but sigh.
With such talent, if Yang Kai was a disciple of Floating Cloud Palace, he would definitely be more outstanding than he was now.
Activating the Clear Sky Filling Art at full force, Chen Zong immediately felt relaxed. It was as if the heavy pressure that was everywhere had disappeared. However, Chen Zong was very clear that the heavy pressure was still there. Furthermore, as he continued to climb and become stronger, his spiritual energy was constantly being consumed.
[Rush! Rush! Rush!]
His Spirit Energy was limited, and even if the World Yuan Qi outside was constantly being absorbed and refined, it couldn't keep up with his consumption. He had to ascend the Immortal Cloud Platform as soon as possible.
"Middle Transcendent Realm Third Layer!" The Floating Cloud Palace Elder also discovered Chen Zong's cultivation at this time and was once again surprised.
The pressure grew stronger and stronger, and even with the Clear Sky Art circulating at full strength, Chen Zong was gradually finding it difficult to resist, so he had no choice but to push his True Flame Body Tempering Art to erupt with astonishing Dragon Force.
Blazing Dragon Force rushed through his bones and muscles, as if a dragon's roar was ringing out from his body. Like a flood dragon emerging from the abyss, Chen Zong's body was filled with tyrannical strength.
Compared to Spirit Energy, Dragon Force was obviously more suitable to resist this kind of pressure, allowing Chen Zong to once again feel relaxed.
However, the pressure continued to increase, constantly consuming Chen Zong's Spirit Energy.
When Chen Zong stepped onto the nine hundredth step, more than half of his Spirit Energy had been consumed, and the pressure had already reached a certain degree, so strong that it was astonishing, as if it could crush a mountain.
On the nine hundredth and sixtieth step, Chen Zong's Spirit Energy was almost completely exhausted, and his face gradually turned pale.
He gritted his teeth and relied on his extraordinary willpower to support himself. His feet seemed to weigh millions of pounds, and he raised them inch by inch with incomparable difficulty, then slowly moved forward, and immediately fell heavily, as if he wanted to crush the ladder.
In fact, the ladder was completely intact.
Nine hundred and sixty-one!
Nine hundred and sixty-two!
Sweat poured out, drenching his entire body. Chen Zong began to feel his mind in a trance, a sign that his Spirit Energy was overused.
However, Chen Zong only had one thought, and that was to ascend the Immortal Cloud Platform. This was his final perseverance, and he absolutely could not give up.
His body swayed, tottering, and on the verge of collapse, like a candle in the wind, about to be extinguished, but incomparably tenaciously persevering.
The moment he stepped onto the last step and truly stepped onto the Immortal Cloud Platform, Chen Zong vaguely saw a figure with his back facing him. That figure was as vast as the blue sky, and as boundless as the sea of clouds.
Immediately, his vision turned black, and he completely lost control of himself.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Zong's eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes. His consciousness returned to his body, and in shock, he turned over and jumped up.
"You're awake." A gentle yet somewhat dignified voice sounded in his ears.
"This junior greets the Floating Cloud King." Chen Zong quickly looked over, and saw a figure in a white robe, surrounded by wisps of white clouds, and indistinct. However, that voice was very familiar, and Chen Zong immediately knew the other party's identity, and he bowed.
Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, the Floating Cloud King was the strongest person he knew.
Strong people should be respected, but respect was not the same as fear.
"Middle Transcendent Realm Third Layer cultivation, Early Dragon Strength Realm First Layer Body Refinement." The Floating Cloud King, who was shrouded in clouds, looked very mysterious, but it was as if he could see through everything about Chen Zong, "Very good, and what's even better is that with this cultivation, you can step onto the Immortal Cloud Platform."
If it was someone from Floating Cloud Palace, without a Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer cultivation, they would not be able to withstand the pressure of the cloud ladder and step onto the Immortal Cloud Platform.
Floating Cloud Palace's Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer cultivators were not ordinary Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer cultivators, because they cultivated Spirit Level High-Rank Secret Arts, and their Spirit Energy was not only purer, but also more majestic.
The difference between a Spirit Level Low-Rank Secret Art and a Spirit Level High-Rank Secret Art was difficult to describe.
"Sit." The Floating Cloud King waved his hand and thousands of clouds suddenly gathered from all directions, condensing into a cloud chair behind Chen Zong.
Chen Zong sat down and felt a soft feeling. It was very comfortable, and his whole body relaxed. It was as if all his fatigue was gradually disappearing in this relaxed state.
"On the road of cultivation, the Foundation Establishment Realm is the first stage, it is the cultivation of developing one's own potential, the mortal body's potential to the extreme." The Floating Cloud King also sat down and directly said, "The Transcendent Realm is the first transformation, the cultivation of the Transcendent Realm is the cultivation of the World's Yuan Qi."
Chen Zong listened quietly. The Floating Cloud King was explaining the cultivation realms, although it was not very detailed.
"When the Transcendent Realm is cultivated to the extreme, the next breakthrough is the second transformation, called the Saint Realm." The Floating Cloud King said, his tone becoming dignified.
"Saint Realm." Chen Zong was silent.
In Blue Waves World, there were masters above the Emperor Realm, called half-Saints, so it could be inferred that the realm above was the Saint Realm, which should be the same as the Saint Realm.
However, this kind of similarity may only be theoretical, just like how both worlds had Transcendent Realm masters, but the Lingwu Holy World's Transcendent Realm was undoubtedly much stronger than the Blue Waves World's.
With his current Mid Third Layer Transcendent Realm cultivation, Chen Zong's strength was not inferior to the Earthly Spirit Realm master in Blue Waves World.
"I believe that one day, you will also be able to break through to the Saint Realm." The Floating Cloud King smiled.
"Do you know why I called you here that day?" After the Floating Cloud King briefly explained the differences in cultivation, he changed the subject.
"Please enlighten me, Senior." Chen Zong said.
"Your talent is very high, no one in my Floating Cloud Palace can match you," The Floating Cloud King sighed. Floating Cloud King sighed slightly, feeling somewhat regretful. If Chen Zong had been able to become a disciple of Floating Cloud Palace before, he would have been even more outstanding now. Of course, it was not too late to accept Chen Zong into Floating Cloud Palace, but Floating Cloud King did not have such plans.
"How much do you know about this world?" The Floating Cloud King suddenly asked.
This made Chen Zong a little speechless, because the Floating Cloud King's thoughts seemed to be jumping around, changing the subject very quickly.
Chen Zong shook his head, besides knowing that this world was called the Lingwu Holy World and Floating Cloud Territory, he had no idea about anything else.
"The Lingwu Holy World is divided into thirty-six Lower Territories, twelve Middle Territories, four Upper Territories, and the Supreme Sacred Territory." The Floating Cloud King's voice became distant, "Do you know what level the Floating Cloud Territory belongs to among the various territories?"
"Lower Territories?" Chen Zong thought for a moment and tried to respond.
"That's right, the Floating Cloud Territory is one of the thirty-six Lower Territories, it belongs to the lower middle." The Floating Cloud King said helplessly.
As the strongest person in the Floating Cloud Territory, to a certain extent, he was also the master of the Floating Cloud Territory. This Floating Cloud Territory was like his own territory, and his own territory was ranked lower, as the master of the territory, of course he would be unhappy.
If one's strength was not enough, he could work hard to improve, but the overall strength of a territory was not that easy to improve, it needed a strong person to drive it, and it would take a long time.
"The Lower Territories are small, the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth is thin, and resources are scarce." The Floating Clouds King sighed and said, "Most of the strongest forces in the 36 Lower Regions are 6-Star. Even the strongest forces in the Lower Regions that are ranked at the top are barely 7-Star. However, there are many 7-Star forces in the Middle Region, and there are even powerful 8-Star forces."
"As for nine-star forces, only the Upper Territories have them."
"May I ask senior, what about the Supreme Sacred Territory?" Chen Zong asked.
"The Supreme Sacred Territory …" Chen Zong let out a long sigh. Although he could not see the Floating Cloud King's face clearly, he could imagine his yearning at this moment, "The forces in the Supreme Sacred Territory are at least seven-star, and there are even Holy Sects and Holy Sects that are above nine-star forces. There are countless Saint Realm masters, and there are even Great Saint Realm masters who have surpassed the Saint Realm."
"Above the Saint Realm!" Chen Zong was even more shocked when he heard this.
He thought that the Saint Realm, which was above the Transcendent Realm, was the peak of the Cultivation Dao in this world, but he did not expect that there was an even stronger realm above the Saint Realm.
Great Saint Realm masters!
