"Isn't … isn't this cheating?"
Xiao Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the thirty-sixth step of the Celestial Stairway!
Xiao Hua was so relaxed, but Si Qi wasn't so lucky. As soon as she stepped on the stairs, a battlefield of iron horses and ice appeared in front of her. There were countless generals around her, waving their weapons and rushing toward her!
Si Qi knew that this was the test of the stairs. If she couldn't pass it, she would fall from the stairs and lose the right to step on them. So, she didn't dare to be careless and immediately used her Wen Li to deal with it.
After an unknown amount of time, perhaps several years, or perhaps several decades, Si Qi finally slaughtered her way out of the battlefield. Blood covered her eyes, and her immortal body was almost destroyed by the scars. She staggered as she rushed towards the place where the sun rose, and when she stepped onto the peak of the mountain, with a boom, an indescribable feeling of enlightenment rushed straight to her head.
Si Qi was overjoyed because she felt the long-lost Wen Li. She tried to use her skill, and as expected, the restriction of the skill had disappeared.
Si Qi didn't even think and immediately used her skill to repair her celestial body and comprehend the Hong Yun.
The Hong Yun enveloped the surroundings, and various phantoms of flowers fell from Si Qi's head. These flowers were blood-red and had black threads. As soon as they flew out, they slowly withered and even disappeared.
When a new outline began to form in Si Qi's flowers, a cloud path appeared in front of Si Qi. It went straight to the vault of heaven.
"Phew ~"
Si Qi let out a long breath. She knew that she had passed the first test of the stairs. But when she stepped on the cloud path and reached the highest point in the vault of heaven, the outline of the second step appeared in front of her. Si Qi suddenly turned around and looked at the illusion that had turned into clouds. She felt that she had gained a lot, but at the same time, she had lost a lot. But as for what she had lost, she didn't know!
Gu Feng was one of the four students of the Heavenly Book Academy who had passed the Sage Selection. He was also the weakest of the four. He stood in front of the stairs and felt like he was in a dream. The memories of the preparation in the Five Cities War flooded his mind.
Gu Feng knew that if it weren't for the help of his peers, Xiao Hua, and even Mu Yun, he wouldn't have been able to reach this step.
"Master Xiao ~"
"Patriarch Chi ~"
"Li Institute Principal ~"
Gu Feng muttered in his heart, "This disciple has finally begun to climb the Heavenly Stairs. I hope that all the seniors will lend this disciple a helping hand!"
With that, Gu Feng stepped onto the stairs.
Whoosh!
Gu Feng felt a blur in front of his eyes. A raging river appeared in front of him, and he fell into the raging waves like a stone!
Gu Feng did not dare to delay and hurriedly circulated his Wen Force. This Wen Force was something he had cultivated in the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. Although it was weak, it was still better than nothing.
Unfortunately, as soon as Gu Feng stabilized his body, the wind and rain hit him.
What caused Gu Feng's soul to leave his body was that this wind and rain were not normal at all. It directly penetrated his immortal body and soaked his three flowers. His Wen power flowed like water in this wind and rain, and his three flowers began to melt.
"Not good!"
Gu Feng was shocked. His eyes glowed as he looked around.
"This … there's water rhyme here ~"
Gu Feng was overjoyed. He whispered, "I can use it for cultivation and replenish my Wen Force …"
Just as he said that, Gu Feng suddenly realized, "Oh, my Clear Sight Light has recovered. That means that the restriction has disappeared. I can immediately cultivate!"
Immediately, Gu Feng activated his technique and began to absorb the water rhyme around him.
As for Gu Feng's body, it was as if it was filled with lead and slowly sank to the bottom of the river.
The river seemed to be unfathomable. Gu Feng kept falling, but he never reached the bottom of the river. However, Gu Feng's cultivation had reached a bottleneck. After reaching a certain level, he could no longer comprehend the water rhyme. Naturally, he could not recover his Wen Force.
After an unknown number of years, Gu Feng's body trembled. He finally reached the bottom of the river!
"Damn it!"
Gu Feng felt an unparalleled pressure around him. His consciousness began to blur. He could not help but curse, "I still can't pass the first step of the Heavenly Stairs …"
Hum!
Just as Gu Feng started to blame himself, the indestructible bottom of the river suddenly trembled, and a colorful hole appeared in the water.
Whoosh. Gu Feng felt his body and even his consciousness flowing out of the hole at the bottom of the river with the river water.
As the water flowed out, Gu Feng felt that the light in front of him was also quickly disappearing. An unknown force was like a giant hand that poked a hole in his memory. The memory of the thirty-sixth level in the Heaven and Earth Pagoda quickly disappeared. Gu Feng felt terrified at first, but in the end, he blacked out and fainted!
On the Heavenly Stairs, the 170,000 victors had different experiences. However, outside the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, the billions of Confucian Immortals of the Celestial Court had the same shock!
"Impossible, how is this possible?"
"Xiao Wenzong, how … how is it possible that he took the lead and went straight to the thirty-sixth level?"
"This is simply unstoppable. He did not stop at any of the levels. Since … since when was the test of the Heavenly Stairs so childish?"
"This is ridiculous. Look at the other disciples. They are still struggling on the first level!"
"No, no, the second place is out. The second place is out. It's … it's Si Qi from the White City Academy. She has reached the second level!"
"What's going on with Xiao Wenzong? He has been last since the first round of the Sage Selection. After so many years, how can he be so powerful in the last three rounds? "
Not to mention the various academies and immortal sects in the Celestial Court, even the immortal officials of the Literature Palace in the five cities were shocked.
The immortal officials of the Literature Palace did not have the right to inspect the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, especially in the later stages of the Sage Selection. The Heaven and Earth Pagoda had become a world of its own. There were many places where even the Record of Revelation could not sense.
"Lord Kong, quickly ~"
Gu Wei, who was in charge of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda's Sage Selection, flew to the pavilion where Kong Xu was and shouted, "Something big is going to happen in the Heaven and Earth Pagoda."
"Hmm?"
Kong Xu was receiving guests in the pavilion. Hearing Gu Wei's disregard for etiquette and shouting outside the door, he was a little displeased. He frowned and said, "Gu Wei, Lord Meng is here. Do not be rude!"
"Sorry ~"
Hearing this, Gu Wei hurriedly stopped and looked at Meng Tianyi who was sitting with him in the pavilion. He said meaningfully, "So it's Lord Meng from the Literature Palace in the White Jade Capital.
"I don't dare, I don't dare ~"
Meng Tianyi hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "I am no longer working in the Literature Palace. I don't deserve Lord Gu's …"
"Hmph ~"
Gu Wei naturally knew the reason why Meng Tianyi lost his position. Meng Tianyi made things difficult for Xiao Hua, so Gu Wei would not give him any face. Although he did not have any expression on his face, he snorted coldly in his heart. Then, he said to Kong Xu, "Lord Kong, Xiao Wenzong's ascension of the thirty-sixth level of the Heaven Stairway has already shocked the entire Yellow City. If nothing unexpected happens, His Majesty will ask about it soon.
