"Oh no!"
Bai Yu was especially nervous. He roared, "Xiao Wenzong ambushed Si Qi and Mu Yun nearby and stole their limelight …"
"Swoosh!"
Before Bai Yu could finish his sentence, another silver name rushed out from the 60th floor. Wasn't that "Si Qi"?
Si Qi's name followed closely behind Xiao Hua, landing on the 61st floor of the Trampling Heaven List!
"Haha, haha!"
Bai Yu laughed, seemingly ignoring his roar just now. His face turned pale, "Si Qi is ranked second, she passed the Sage Selection!"
Then, the names of Mu Yun and the others flew out one by one!
Wei Yiyong's hanging heart finally settled down.
In front of the Five Phoenix Pavilion in Huang City, Gu Li stared at the Trampling Heaven List. When he saw the names of the Heavenly Book Academy's disciples appearing at the back, he fell on the chair as if he had lost all his strength. He murmured, "Great, great, our Heavenly Book Academy finally has a disciple who passed the Sage Selection. Thank the ancestors of the Gu family …"
"Hmph!"
Outside the pavilion, Gu Chi flew in slowly. He also stared at the Trampling Heaven List and snorted, "Instead of thanking the ancestors, you should thank Master Xiao. If it wasn't for Master Xiao's help, they would never pass the Sage Selection!"
"Ancestor Chi!"
Gu Li struggled to get up and smiled, "Why are you here?"
"Counting the days, it's time for the Sage Selection!"
Gu Chi sat down, his eyes still fixed on the Trampling Heaven List, and said, "I'm just here to watch the fun!"
"Yeah!"
Gu Li nodded, "Next is the competition for the Literary Sage. It's the real Trampling Heaven Stairway. This is the climax of the Sage Selection!"
"What a pity!"
Gu Chi said with some regret, "Our Heavenly Book Academy has the Heavenly Book Arcane Realm, but it's only been a short time. It's hard to see the names of our disciples on the Trampling Heaven List."
"The results of the Sage Selection this time are already quite impressive!"
Gu Li smiled, "Our Heavenly Book Academy hasn't had a disciple who passed the Sage Selection for many years. Now, four of them passed at once. As Ancestor Chi said, Master Xiao must have helped them …"
While Gu Li was speaking, the Heaven Trampling List soared into the sky with a "weng" sound. Its radiance illuminated all directions, especially at the location of the sixty-first level. The list was stretched extremely long, and a staircase of thirty-six levels appeared above it!
"The Heaven Stairway has appeared!"
"We're about to begin the Heaven Ascension Steps!!"
Without waiting for Gu Li to say anything, there was a hubbub of voices all around. Everyone was looking at the Heaven Trampling List and shouting wildly.
Just as Wen Qu had said in the Red Cloud Festival manual for Xiao Hua, the Heaven Trampling Steps were the most dazzling part of the Sage Selection. It was also where the Sage of Literature fought. Above the thirty-six steps of the Heaven Trampling Steps was the Sage of Literature, and below the thirty-six steps … was merely the victor of the Sage Selection. The difference of one step was like the difference between heaven and earth!
As for how to climb the thirty-six steps, no one knew. The pitiful Wen Qu didn't even make it to the Heaven Ascension Steps!
"No, no …"
Although Gu Chi was also exultant, he stared at the Heaven Stairway and said softly, "Previously, the Heaven Stairway only had thirty-six steps. Why are there two more steps this time?"
"Aiyo, yeah!"
Gu Li also exclaimed softly and asked curiously, "Could it be that there are three heavenly steps to the Sage Selection this time?"
"That's possible."
Gu Chi said, "Since the unprecedented sixty-third level of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda has been opened, what's so strange about two more levels?"
"The problem is …"
Just when Gu Li was about to say something, "Swoosh ~" Layers of golden light rose like the sun, and one hundred and seventy thousand names fell into the first level of the Heaven Trampling Steps …
"What the …"
Someone outside the pavilion shouted, "I just noticed that there are one hundred and seventy thousand victors in the Sage Selection this time. Isn't … isn't it a few times more than the previous years? No wonder there are three levels of the Heaven Trampling Steps!! "
Gu Chi and Gu Li heard and looked at each other awkwardly. They were only thinking about the victory of their Heavenly Book Academy's disciples, and didn't pay attention to the number of victors in the Sage Selection.
"Master Chi …"
Gu Li whispered, "The Qi dynamic of the Heavenly Court has changed. No wonder there are sixty-three levels in the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. It seems that one level of the Heaven Trampling Steps is not enough to select the Sage of Literature!"
"It's starting, it's starting …"
In the cheers of the crowd, one hundred and seventy thousand names rushed up the thirty-six levels of the Heaven Trampling Steps like a tide …
Back to Xiao Hua, he stepped on the cloud and entered the Mother-Child Heaven Trampling Pagoda. What came into his sight was a staircase with thirty-six levels. The staircase was made of jade, carved with flowers, birds, fishes, insects, and so on. Xiao Hua's gaze fell on it, and the fine lines of the totem immediately surged with indescribable clouds, and an inexplicable Hong Yun was faintly discernible. As for the jade-colored staircase, there was some lead-colored brilliance flashing.
"This is the Heaven Trampling Steps?"
Xiao Hua thought to himself, "The Heaven Trampling Steps. Once you reach the Heaven Trampling Steps, you can become the Sage of Literature!"
Xiao Hua waited for a moment, but he didn't see any other students coming. Xiao Hua understood that as the Revelation of Heaven Trampling Steps said, everyone saw different things. The one hundred and seventy thousand students who passed the Sage Selection should be in different spaces. In front of them should also be the thirty-six levels of the Heaven Trampling Steps, but he didn't know if everyone's test was the same.
With that thought, Xiao Hua stepped onto the first level of the Heaven Trampling Steps!
"Wu-Wu-Wu ~"
As Xiao Hua stepped onto the Heaven Trampling Steps, the clouds above the Heaven Trampling Steps surged and enveloped Xiao Hua from bottom to top. And when the clouds rushed to the top of Xiao Hua's head, the Human Flower and Earth Flower both let out a cry and revealed themselves!
At the same time, the faintly discernible Hong Yun transformed into a dragon and pounced on Xiao Hua's Earth Flower with bared fangs and brandished claws!
"Buzz!"
Just as the Hong Yun Dragon Form touched Xiao Hua's Earth Flower, Xiao Hua's Earth Flower let out a soft cry. A faint golden light was emitted, and within the golden light, the image of the Immortal Sacred Monument flashed and disappeared.
"Roar ~"
As soon as the image of the Immortal Sacred Monument appeared, the Hong Yun Dragon Form immediately let out a cry. The dragon form was shattered, and the Hong Yun Dragon Form was annihilated. It turned into a wisp of black color and landed on the Earth Flower.
As for Xiao Hua, the moment the clouds surged out, his vision blurred. He then realized that the Heaven Trampling Steps had disappeared, and he was in a small chiliocosm that was full of vitality.
"Oh ~"
Xiao Hua checked around and understood. "This is to comprehend the world formed by the Hong Yun Dragon Form …"
However, without waiting for Xiao Hua to use his Taigu Eye to investigate, a pale-golden ray of light descended from the sky with a swoosh. All of a sudden, this Lesser Thousand Realm condensed from grand aura was cleaved apart. Xiao Hua discovered … that he was still standing on the first celestial step!
Xiao Huayu was dumbfounded. He was very familiar with the faint golden light. Wasn't that the Immortal Sacred Monument?
Why was the Immortal Sacred Monument stopping him from comprehending the Hong Yun Dragon Form?
Xiao Hua looked left and right and did not understand what was going on. But after thinking for a while, he lifted his foot and stepped onto the second step of the Heaven Trampling Steps …
Just like the first step of the Heaven Trampling Steps, the clouds still surged out from under Xiao Hua's feet. The Hong Yun Dragon Form pounced on Xiao Hua's Three Flowers. Of course, the Immortal Sacred Monument flashed with a faint golden shadow again and stopped the Hong Yun Dragon Form …
