"What?"
When Kong Xu heard that Xiao Hua had reached the 36th step, he did not care about etiquette anymore. He stood up and shouted, "When … when did this happen?"
"Now!"
Gu Wei said anxiously, "Xiao Wenzong only used the time it takes to brew a cup of tea to pass the 36th step of the first step and enter the 62nd step of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda …"
"What are you still talking about?"
Kong Xu lost his composure and shouted, "Why aren't you going to the Heaven and Earth Pagoda? This is a miracle that surpasses the ages!! "
Looking at Kong Xu and Gu Wei leaving in a hurry, Meng Tianyi gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't … isn't this cheating? If Xiao Hua did not have the Revelation Record and the Armillary Sphere of the same realm, how could he reach the top of the stairs?! "
Reaching the top of the stairs was something that Kong Xu had never even dreamed of.
The 36th step, the 36th step. Each step was more dangerous than the last, and each step was like a natural moat!
Although no one knew what happened at the top of the stairs, the names disappeared one after another, and the geniuses fell one after another. It was enough to show how difficult it was to climb the stairs.
However, Xiao Hua was able to reach the top of the stairs and treat the 36th step as nothing. This … this made the Heavenly Court's Confucian Immortals feel ashamed.
"Open … Open the Heaven and Earth Pagoda!"
Kong Xu rushed to the front of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. He looked at the towering Heaven and Earth Pagoda and the 360 gigantic dragon-like runes flying around it. He quickly shouted.
"My Lord!"
Zhao Cheng, who was guarding the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, was dumbfounded. He whispered, "It's the Sage Selection now. How can we open the Heaven and Earth Pagoda?"
Gu Wei frowned and reminded him, "My Lord asked you to open the Heaven and Earth Pagoda's surveillance. Who asked you to open the Heaven and Earth Pagoda?"
"Yes, yes!"
Only then did Zhao Cheng come to his senses. He quickly took out the scripture artifact that looked like a mother and child Heaven and Earth Pagoda. After activating it, clouds surged on it, and the clouds rushed to the 62nd step of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda.
"Hum!"
The 62nd step of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda let out a vibration. The clouds circled the outside of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. After a few breaths, a silhouette of 72 steps appeared in front of Kong Xu. Within the silhouette, a blurry human figure standing on the third step …
"My Lord!"
Zhao Cheng whispered, "This is as far as we can go."
Kong Xu completely ignored him. He only stared at the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, not daring to believe his own eyes. He said in a low voice, "Xiao Wenzong has already … already begun the second step of the Heaven Trampling Steps?"
Gu Wei immediately replied, "Yes, sir ~"
After answering, Gu Wei didn't forget to add, "At this moment, the second place is still on the third step of the first step …"
Zhao Cheng hurriedly raised his hand and pointed. "Swoosh!" A cloud rushed out from the 61st floor of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, revealing the thirty-six steps. Si Qi's figure appeared on the third step, while Mu Yun and the others appeared on the second step.
"It … It can't be?"
Kong Xu couldn't help but lower his head to take a look. Beside him, Gu Wei couldn't help but groan as he cried out, "Xiao … Xiao Wenzong is too fierce, isn't he?"
"What is it?"
Kong Xu hurriedly raised his head, somewhat puzzled. However, he saw Xiao Hua's figure casually step from the fourth step to the fifth step, as if he was really taking a stroll.
Kong Xu was also dumbfounded.
"Milord ~"
Gu Wei hurriedly urged, "Why aren't you reporting this to His Majesty? If you're too late, Xiao Wenzong will reach the end of the Heaven Steps! "
"Yes, yes ~"
Kong Xu also came to his senses. This wasn't the time to investigate how Xiao Hua stepped on the Heaven Steps. Instead, he had to report this to Emperor Tian Huang as soon as possible. After all, it took others eight to ten years to reach the end of the Heaven Steps, but Xiao Hua reached the top in the blink of an eye!
When they arrived at the Dazzling Soul Palace, Kong Xu was tactful this time. He respectfully said, "Your Majesty, I, Kong Xu, am here to report the miracle of Xiao Wenzong stepping on the Heaven Steps!"
"Oh?"
Sure enough, as soon as Kong Xu finished speaking, Emperor Tian Huang's voice sounded in his ears. "Xiao Wenzong is participating in the Sage Selection?" “
"Yes, Your Majesty ~"
Kong Xu knew that he had made the right choice. He hurriedly said, "Not only is he participating, but he is also leading the way to … the second step of the Heaven Steps!" “
"The second step of the Heaven Steps??" “
Emperor Tian Huang was shocked. "Come in and report this!" “
Kong Xu entered the Dazzling Soul Palace. There were all kinds of Celestial Officials in the palace. Clearly, Emperor Tian Huang was handling the affairs of the entire Great Emperor Heaven Domain. If it weren't for Xiao Hua, Kong Xu wouldn't have the right to enter.
"Your Majesty ~"
Kong Xu went straight to the point. "Xiao Wenzong participated in this Sage Selection more than eight hundred years ago. At the beginning, he was the last to pass every stage. At the sixtieth stage, Xiao Wenzong suddenly emerged as a new force to be reckoned with. He began to ascend the Stairway of Heaven as the first. Now, in just a few hours, he has already stepped onto the second stage …"
Before Kong Xu could finish, the Celestial Officials shouted in unison, "Impossible ~"
"Your Majesty ~"
One of the Celestial Officials even frowned and said, "We have all participated in the Sage Selection. Although the details of the Sage Selection have been erased by the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, the Heaven Steps are recorded on the Heaven Steps Leaderboard. Although the flow of time in the Heaven and Earth Pagoda is different from that in the Heavenly Court, Lord Kong said that Xiao Wenzong reached the second step of the Heaven Steps Leaderboard in just a few hours. That's just sensational!"
"That's right ~"
Unexpectedly, Kong Xu didn't argue. Instead, he went with the flow and said, "That's what I thought as well. That's why I immediately reported to Your Majesty and asked Your Majesty to bring the Heaven Enlightening Record over for questioning!"
Kong Xu's answer was flawless, which made the Celestial Officials feel very awkward.
Emperor Tian Huang hesitated. He frowned and said, "Right now, he is ascending the Heaven Steps. The Heaven Enlightening Record must be monitoring everything that happens on the Heaven Steps Leaderboard. I don't think it's appropriate for me to call him out!"
Boom ~ Boom ~
Just as they were talking, two parts of the Dazzling Spirit Treasured Palace shook. Two rays of light, one black and one white, shot into the sky from the west and the other from the north!
"Haha ~"
Emperor Tian Huang laughed and said, "It seems that the Sage Selection has also alerted my two brothers. Fine, fine. Let's get the Heaven Enlightening Record and ask him about it."
With that, Emperor Tian Huang raised his hand and a shadow of Huang Cong appeared. Then, Emperor Tian Huang whispered a few words to Huang Cong, and Huang Cong dashed out of the palace like a shooting star and disappeared in an instant.
The silver light from the west settled, and Bai Di's human form appeared. Within the black light, Hei Di's face was still the same.
"Greetings, Your Majesties ~"
In the Dazzling Spirit Palace, the Celestial Officials quickly bowed.
"Where is Kong Xu ~"
Hei Di ignored the Celestial Officials and asked directly, "What happened in the Heaven and Earth Pagoda?"
"Your Majesty ~"
Kong Xu was very proud, but his tone was humble. He said in a low voice, "I am also very surprised. You should know that the Sage Selection in the Heaven and Earth Pagoda cannot be detected …"
"Then what's the use of having you?"
Bai Di sneered. "How are you going to explain to the students of the Heavenly Court that a Confucian Immortal clone ascended the Heaven Steps?"
