"Old Qiming!"
The Black Thearch frowned. "The Sage Selection starts from the thirteenth level, right?"
"I know, I know!"
The Heavenly Record of Revelation looked impatient as he waved his hand. "Your Majesty, no one is a fool. Are you going to be confused if I give you the 75th level? Isn't there a total of 63 levels in the Sage Selection? How can there be a 75th level? That's why I erased the first twelve levels of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda! "
"Up to you, up to you!"
The Black Thearch waved his hand awkwardly.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Record of Revelation ignored him as he stared at Xiao Hua's back and watched as Xiao Hua stepped onto the first step of the third level …
Xiao Hua knew that he would definitely cause a commotion in the Heavenly Court if he rushed all the way, but he didn't expect to attract the attention of the three Thearchs again.
At this moment, Xiao Hua's brows were slightly furrowed as he looked at the 108 heavenly steps of flowers, birds, fish, and insects.
It wasn't because the stairway was too difficult, but because it was too simple. It was so simple that he thought he was in an illusion.
In the Red Cloud Festival, the Celestial Stairway only had one layer with thirty-six steps. Stepping onto the thirty-sixth step meant stepping onto the Celestial Stairway, entering the Celestial Ranking and becoming a Literary Sage. However, after Xiao Hua stepped onto the thirty-sixth step, he suddenly discovered that there was a palace door in front of him, and inside the palace door was another layer of heaven and earth. Another Celestial Stairway with seventy-two steps towered in front of him.
At that time, Xiao Hua was somewhat enlightened. He knew that the Sage Selection here was probably different from before. Since there were three special trials, then there should be three heavenly steps. Sure enough, after Xiao Hua easily climbed the seventy-two steps, he now had to face the one hundred and eight steps.
"The stairway is used to select a Literary Sage!"
Xiao Hua didn't immediately step onto the stairway. Instead, he looked at the jade steps and thought to himself, "How can it be so simple? The reason why I was able to reach here so easily was because of the Immortal Saint Stele! "
"Then, what does the Immortal Sage Tablet have to do with the stairway?"
"If this Mother-Child Heaven Pagoda is related to the Heaven and Earth Pagoda in Xiao's space, Xiao would believe it. However, the Immortal Sage Stele has nothing to do with the Mother-Child Heaven Pagoda!"
In fact, Xiao Hua had already discovered something strange when he was on the first step of the Celestial Stairway. However, even after walking up the lead-colored first step of the Celestial Stairway and the silver second step of the Celestial Stairway, he still did not discover the truth.
"Fine, fine ~"
Xiao Hua looked at the jade carved steps that started to glow with a faint golden light as he walked in. He smiled and said, "This is the matter of the Heavenly Court's Literature and Music Sacred Palace. It should be Lord Kong Xu's concern. Why is Xiao here worrying about nothing?"
After he finished speaking, Xiao Hua lifted his foot and stepped onto the first step of the third step.
"Woo woo ~"
As Xiao Hua stepped on it, just like before, the rosy clouds above the celestial staircase surged up and enveloped Xiao Hua from bottom to top. When the rosy clouds rushed to the top of Xiao Hua's head, the Human Flower and Earth Flower were revealed within the rosy clouds. As for that faintly discernible Hong Yun, it was also like a dragon that came out, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it pounced towards Xiao Hua's Earth Flower. However, at this time, the Hong Yun was already ten times more solid than the previous two celestial staircases!
Similarly, as soon as the Hong Yun Dragon Form touched Xiao Hua's Earth Flower, Xiao Hua's Earth Flower gently hummed. The faint golden light from the Immortal Sage Tablet appeared and blocked the Hong Yun Dragon Form.
"Roar ~"
Finally, it was different this time. The back of the Immortal Sage Tablet did not shatter the dragon form. Instead, the dragon form roared and swallowed the tablet into its stomach. It then rushed into Xiao Hua's Earth Flower.
As for Xiao Hua, as usual, his vision blurred and he found himself in a small chiliocosm filled with vitality.
Xiao Hua did not know what was going on outside. He shrugged and waited for the faint golden light to descend from the sky and split the chiliocosm open.
Unfortunately, Xiao Hua was destined to be disappointed this time. "Roar!" It was like a dragon's roar. The entire chiliocosm shook. Countless light fragments of gold, silver, and lead fell like rain and dyed the chiliocosm. Once again, the Hong Yun Dragon Form appeared between heaven and earth.
"Oh, this is great!"
Xiao Hua was not surprised. Instead, he was overjoyed. He whispered, "Xiao can finally see what the real Celestial Stairway is!"
With that, there were nine colors in Xiao Hua's eyes as he used the Taichi Eye.
Within the Taichi Eye, the chiliocosm formed by the Hong Yun Dragon Form turned into streaks of tri-colored silhouettes.
As Xiao Hua descended into the Celestial Stairway and inspected the chiliocosm, the three emperors, the Record of Revelation, and Kong Xu all saw what was happening.
Emperor Tian Huang chuckled as he looked at the tri-colored light that flowed around Xiao Hua's body of time. "Zhaoming, is this part of the Celestial Stairway selection?"
"Your Majesty ~"
The Record of Revelation also heaved a long sigh of relief. "That is correct. The first step of the Celestial Stairway has a lead-colored light, the second step has a silver-colored light, and the third step has a golden light …"
The Record of Revelation was on the verge of tears as he spoke. He looked at the tri-colored light around Xiao Hua and said in a feeble voice, "That's not right, Your Majesty. The third step of the Celestial Stairway is a faint golden color. Why … why does it have to be gold, silver, and lead?"
However, right after he said that, the Record of Revelation suddenly burst into laughter. "Haha, this is what they call the saying, 'You brought this upon yourself.'"
"What do you mean?"
Emperor Tian Huang asked curiously.
"It's like this, Your Majesty ~"
The Record of Revelation said, "The Celestial Stairway not only tests one's comprehension of the Grand Rhythm, but it also tests one's body. Regardless of whether it's lead-colored, silver-colored, or gold-colored light, there will be flowers engraved on the body of the Celestial Stairway. These flowers are heavy to the Celestial Stairway. As time passes, the Celestial Stairway won't be able to bear the weight of the flowers."
"If a student can't comprehend the Grand Rhythm of the Celestial Stairway before the Celestial Stairway collapses, he will still be eliminated!"
"Others only have golden light when they reach the third step of the Celestial Stairway. Xiao Hua produced tri-colored light, which means that his Celestial Stairway has to bear the weight of tri-colored flowers. This test is naturally three times more difficult than others!"
"Old Zhaoming ~"
The Dark Emperor asked, "Can you see what's going on inside the Celestial Stairway?"
"What are you thinking, Your Majesty?"
The Record of Revelation said bluntly, "This is the secret of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. It's the secret of the selection. How can you see it?"
Dark Sovereign was annoyed by the Record of Revelation. He curled his lips and ignored it …
