Chapter 266: If that's truly the case, then wouldn't it mean...
As Liu Xingwan spoke these words, even she was startled by them.
All disciples who had ventured beyond the sixth level of the Cloud Ascension Platform knew of its difficulties.
Not to mention one and a half hours, even enduring two hours would leave one physically and mentally exhausted.
The illusory demons in one's mind's eye would constantly evolve and grow stronger.
They would even specifically target one's weaknesses in their attacks.
And this was just the sixth level; enduring half an hour on the seventh level would be even more terrifying.
"Master Zhao, this..."
"Judging from his appearance, he still seems to have plenty of strength left, perhaps he can hold on for another two hours."
Zhao Li didn't believe that one could endure for one and a half hours on the seventh level.
But looking at Su Chen's appearance, she felt that he could endure for six hours on the seventh level.
This achievement was already frightening enough to speak of.
Even the Cloudyang Sect's current number one genius, Fu Jianyun, couldn't achieve this.
Fu Jianyun's limit on the seventh level was half an hour, or four hours at most.
"When we spoke with the Sect Leader, we all thought we valued Chen Su enough.
But in fact, even the value we thought we gave was still insufficient.
If he were in our Cloudyang Sect, even if he wasn't skilled at dealing with demons, with such talent and potential, he should be cultivated with the treatment befitting a Celestial Talent disciple."
Master Zhao Li, standing nearby, spoke softly.
Between her brows, there was also a hint of regret.
Thinking back to what the Supreme Elder had said and done before the Cloud Ascension Platform training began...
With such a sect atmosphere, such biased and harsh treatment, who else would be willing to come?
Before long, beyond the sixth level of the Cloud Ascension Platform, only Su Chen remained.
Su Chen could also sense that the six serpent demons in his mind's eye were growing stronger.
The attacks were almost constant, and he had to respond at all times.
Fortunately, Su Chen's foundation was indeed solid, and the tempering of the Profound Heaven Heart Art, along with the Heavenly Mandate's blessing of Indestructible, gave him the strength to stabilize himself.
It was also because the serpent demon illusions in his mind's eye constantly attacked that he couldn't afford any distractions.
At this moment, Su Chen didn't know that he was the only one left on the entire seventh level.
Moreover, this mental training did indeed benefit him greatly.
After reaching the sixth stage, one's body was constantly tempered by the inner furnace's flames, and one's mental state was easily influenced.
Through this confrontation with the serpent demon illusions, Su Chen's mental state seemed to have taken a huge step forward.
He became increasingly calm and powerful.
With these benefits, staying a little longer wouldn't hurt.
After all, one and a half hours were required to be considered qualified.
And on the outskirts, it wasn't just Zhao Li and Liu Xingwan who were paying attention to Su Chen.
Disciples who had reached the sixth level had already descended from the Cloud Ascension Platform.
Seeing that there was still someone on the seventh level, they couldn't help but stop and watch.
Those who had endured on the fourth and fifth levels were also struggling.
Although there was no mental influence, their strength and potential couldn't easily withstand the pressure of the first five levels.
The number of disciples on the Cloud Ascension Platform gradually decreased, and Su Chen, alone on the seventh level, became increasingly noticeable.
Originally, he only needed to endure for one hour on the seventh level to prove his talent and potential.
Su Chen had already endured for seven hours on the seventh level, and it was almost one and a half hours.
On the outskirts, a group of people silently watched him.
Su Chen's performance far exceeded their expectations.
The three Supreme Elders stood dumbfounded on the outskirts, not uttering a word.
Their expressions seemed somewhat dazed.
Sun Xuerong, who had facilitated all this, even had a pale face.
She had already realized what she had done.
Chen Su's innate potential was on par with the Celestial Talents, capable of rivaling Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan.
But her actions were pushing Chen Su away from the sect. When Taiwu Zhenren and the other four elders discovered this, they were shocked.
In a moment of hesitation, Taiwu Zhenren quickly walked over to Zhao Li's side.
He had just been paying attention to the other disciples, as there were still many dangers on the Cloud Ascension Platform.
Disciples were constantly falling from above, and as the sect leader, he could only protect one at a time.
"Hall Master Zhao, has Chen Su been on the seventh level all this time?"
Hearing this, Zhao Li nodded.
Her expression seemed a bit hesitant.
As the Hall Master of Yunyang Sect, in all these years, she had never seen a disciple with such strength.
Not only among the disciples, but even including the Hall Masters, there was none.
Thinking back to the evaluations of the three Supreme Elders about Chen Su, she feared they would be ridiculed for being blind.
Even Taiwu Zhenren, who had the highest hopes for Chen Su, realized that his expectations were far from enough.
Taiwu Zhenren wanted to ask more, but seeing Zhao Li's expression, he held back.
After Fu Jianyun descended from the Cloud Ascension Platform, he returned alone without waiting for anyone else.
He had no interest in waiting or watching others.
Even though today he was helping to obtain the Heavenly Blossom Fruit for himself, he still didn't care.
In Fu Jianyun's opinion, everyone else was far weaker than him, and there was nothing worth watching.
But in fact, Su Chen's performance today had surpassed his own.
More and more people gathered to watch from the sidelines.
In addition to the directly transmitted disciples, many inner and outer gate disciples came to observe.
They didn't know how difficult the seventh level was.
But they understood that enduring for so long on the fourth and fifth levels was already challenging, let alone the seventh.
Amidst the crowd, there were whispered conversations and discussions.
After another quarter of an hour, Zhao Li slightly turned her head towards Taiwu Zhenren.
"Sect Leader, it's been more than one and a half hours already."
Hearing this, Taiwu Zhenren didn't know how to respond.
He was both surprised and regretful.
As he thought, a fierce gaze appeared in his eyes, directed at Sun Xuerong beside him.
This time, even the three Supreme Elders, including Taiwu Zhenren, showed no favor.
As the Supreme Elders of the sect, they now understood what Su Chen's performance signified.
And the words they had spoken earlier would become a part of their dark history.
From this day forward, no one would take the words of the three Supreme Elders seriously.
They had said that Chen Su wasn't qualified to use the Heavenly Blossom Fruit, but in fact, he was not only qualified but seemed even more deserving than Fu Jianyun.
From now on, the three Supreme Elders would be described as having blurry eyes and being foolish.
If they wanted to make any further decisions, Taiwu Zhenren would use this matter to easily reject them.
In the crowd, Liu Xingwan's expression was different from the others.
While they were surprised, she seemed delighted.
Su Chen's performance today had already reached a level comparable to hers, clearly demonstrating his Celestial Talent.
In the past, if she had approached Su Chen, the sect would have certainly disapproved and even strongly opposed it.
But after today, things should be different.
As she thought about it, a smile seemed to curve her lips.
Now, everyone was waiting to see how long Su Chen could endure.
Zhao Li felt that Su Chen might descend from the seventh level after one and a half hours.
If that were the case, what would it imply?
