No matter what the result was, he was going to leave the human world and return to the heavenly realm. Naturally, he didn't care about the final number.
Suddenly, a white light flashed and a little girl in tattered clothes appeared in the hall. The little girl had a round and tender face. Her big round eyes looked at everyone in confusion. She opened her mouth and asked, "Where is this?"
Those who were exhausted would be sent to the waiting room outside the hall. Only the victors would be sent inside.
In other words, this little girl in tattered clothes was the first person to successfully climb the Stairway to Heaven?
Only fifteen minutes had passed since the start. Even Su Ling didn't dare to say that she could climb the Stairway to Heaven so quickly. However, this little girl had actually climbed it. This …
Su Ling was dumbfounded.
Everyone else was dumbfounded. They didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Even the Lord of the East Source, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes in shock. He looked at the little girl in tattered clothes standing in the hall.
The Lord of the East Source knew the limits of the Stairway to Heaven. To be able to climb it completely, her potential was comparable to that of a heavenly realm immortal.
This little girl actually managed to climb it so quickly.
The little girl's face was round. Seeing that no one answered her question, she asked again, "Where is this?"
Su Ling thought that she had misheard and was stunned, "You don't know where this is?"
The little girl timidly nodded. She looked around and said, "My mother is sick. I came to the mountain to pick some herbs for her. Suddenly, there was a cloud of fog in front of me. I walked in and arrived here. Where is this?"
Her pitch-black eyes looked around. After a while, the little girl asked again, "You guys are immortals, right? You guys definitely know immortal techniques, right? Can you guys save my mother? "
Everyone thought that this little girl was a genius who had been chosen to participate in the Stairway to Heaven. They didn't expect that this little girl had mistakenly entered the Stairway to Heaven. Moreover, her reason for coming here was to save her mother.
Seeing such a stunning genius, Su Ling didn't even think before asking, "Where is your home?"
The little girl blinked, "My home is at the foot of the mountain. Can you guys help me save my mother?"
Su Ling was about to agree when the silent Lord of the East Source suddenly stood up and walked in front of the little girl, "Okay!"
Lord East Source's voice was crisp and pleasant to the ears. Lord East Source took the initiative to hold the little girl's hand.
Lord Dongyuan's palm was as white as jade, and his fingers were slender and beautiful like a work of art. The little girl placed her pitch-black, dirt-stained hand in his palm. It was messy yet clean, chaotic yet orderly, and presented a strange harmony.
Su Ling, who had originally wanted to volunteer herself, instantly fell silent when she saw her master's expression.
Lord Dong Yuan had always loved cleanliness and usually only wore green and white clothes. But now, he did not mind that the little girl was dirty at all. He bent down, picked her up, and walked out.
In just an instant, the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Just a moment ago, they were still in the hall, but now they were at the foot of the mountain. The little girl's beautiful big eyes were wide open as she exclaimed, "Are you an immortal?"
Lord Dong Yuan nodded slightly. "Yes!"
The little girl exclaimed, "Brother Immortal, you must save my mother."
The little girl was not wearing any shoes. Lord Dong Yuan pitied her for her young age and could not bear to see her walk barefoot into the house. Thus, he carried her to the door. The little girl tugged on Lord Dong Yuan's sleeve, indicating for him to put her down. She wanted to enter the house to see her mother.
Lord Dong Yuan immediately understood and placed the little girl on the ground. The little girl immediately ran into the house.
When she entered the house, the little girl, who had been chattering just a moment ago, was completely silent.
Seeing that the little girl, who had been chattering like a sparrow, was completely silent, Lord Dong Yuan walked into the house. When he saw the woman's stiff corpse, he made a divination with his fingers.
After calculating karma, Lord Dong Yuan came to a realization.
A day in the mountain was equivalent to a thousand years in the world.
The little girl had only been gone for a few hours, but in reality, she had already been gone for a day.
Her mother had felt that she was about to die and was afraid that her death would frighten the little girl. Thus, she found an excuse to send the little girl away. Now, her soul had already returned to the netherworld.
Lord Dong Yuan could bring the little girl's mother's soul out of the netherworld, but this way, the little girl would be affected by karma.
She had an excellent constitution and was a natural-born cultivation genius. Such a genius should not be affected by karma.
Moreover, the little girl's mother had given birth to such a talented child and had accumulated good karma. In her next life, she would become a member of the royal family. There was no need to ruin her next life because of the little girl's thoughts.
Lord Dong Yuan stood behind the little girl. His voice was cold and emotionless as he said flatly, "Your mother is already dead."
Because of Lord Dong Yuan's words, the little girl, who had been standing in front of her mother in a daze, suddenly burst into tears.
As the little girl cried, she used her two small hands to wipe away her tears. Her face, which was not very fair to begin with, was smeared with mud.
Two streams of tears left two white marks on her face. After crying for a while, the little girl suddenly remembered that Lord Dong Yuan was a deity. She looked at Lord Dong Yuan with a face full of anticipation. "Big Brother Deity, can you save my mother?"
The little girl wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I don't want my mother to die."
"Birth, old age, illness, and death are human nature." Lord Dong Yuan rubbed the little girl's head and said in a calm voice, "You will die sooner or later."
Hearing that she would die, the little girl cried even harder.
Her pair of big eyes instantly turned red from crying, and her sobs gave Lord Dong Yuan a headache.
Lord Dong Yuan did not know how to coax children. Now that this child was not the kind of child he remembered, Lord Dong Yuan felt even worse.
Lord Dong Yuan rubbed his temples and looked at the little girl. "Don't cry."
The little girl looked at Lord Dong Yuan. Her red eyes were filled with tears. After a while, she continued to cry.
Lord Dong Yuan: "…"
In the end, Lord Dong Yuan could not put a curse on the little girl. He could only let the little girl cry in his ear for the entire night.
The next day, Lord Dong Yuan buried her mother at the foot of the mountain with the crying little girl in his arms. He promised that he would bring the little girl back to visit her mother often in the future. Only then did the little girl close her mouth in satisfaction.
When Lord Dong Yuan brought the little girl back, the trial of the immortal ascension stairs had already ended. However, the elders had not started to choose disciples.
This was because the little girl's aptitude was too good. Everyone wanted to take her in as their disciple.
When Lord Dong Yuan brought the little girl back, even Su Ling was rubbing her hands in anticipation.
To be able to climb the entire immortal ascension stairs meant that her aptitude was a hundred times better than hers. Even if she did not have a lightning spirit root, Su Ling was willing to take her in as the next sect master.
However, before Su Ling could open the door, she heard Lord Dong Yuan say, "This is my last disciple."
