Chapter 79: The Fifth Layer Sacred Ground
Chapter 79: The Fifth Layer Sacred Ground
This sacred ground seemed to have some similarities to the tempering provided by the Profound Heaven Heart Scripture.
Su Chen carefully sensed the surroundings, and indeed, there were noticeable differences.
Compared to the Profound Heaven Heart Scripture, the tempering here was somewhat harsh and rigid.
However, there was something extraordinary about this place—the Sacred Ground had a nourishing effect to some extent.
After exiting the second layer, Su Chen proceeded to the third layer.
The aura pressure had indeed increased significantly, but for Su Chen, this pressure was still manageable.
It was far from the overwhelming tempering experienced in the Profound Heaven Heart Scripture.
After spending some time in the third layer, Su Chen soon emerged.
At this moment, seeing Su Chen come out, Gu Fu Shou turned his head towards his grandson, Gu Lin.
"If you still lack confidence in yourself, go in and compare with him again.
You can now cultivate with ease in the fourth layer Mystic Realm.
Go in together with him and see how long he can last.
Witness his struggles within, and your confidence will return."
As he spoke, Gu Fu Shou pushed his grandson into the fourth layer Sacred Ground.
Su Chen had not even taken a step when Gu Fu Shou had already entered the fourth layer.
Seeing this, the onlookers found it even more unbearable.
"Gu Lin often trains in the Sacred Ground, so he's very familiar with everything. It's only natural that he can cultivate for longer," someone commented.
"Exactly!" another agreed.
Hearing these words, Gu Fu Shou glanced at them and scoffed.
"You don't understand. The Sacred Ground tests one's talent potential.
What does frequent training have to do with it?"
Ever since Su Chen defeated Gu Lin, Gu Fu Shou had been feeling displeased, and his words now carried a hint of coldness.
Upon entering the fourth layer Mystic Realm, Su Chen immediately felt the intense aura pressure.
This pressure was very similar to what he experienced during his cultivation of the Profound Heaven Heart Scripture.
It was as if several large hammers were relentlessly striking his body, not even sparing his head.
Indeed, with insufficient talent potential, it was challenging to resist this kind of pressure-filled tempering.
For others, entering the fourth layer Sacred Ground would cause them to faint in an instant.
But for Su Chen, it was still manageable.
Su Chen had already experienced this method of tempering his body when cultivating the Profound Heaven Heart Scripture.
Initially, it was difficult to endure, but now, it was just like that.
He didn't even need to activate the Unyielding Heavenly Will; he could easily resist it.
After spending some time in the fourth layer Sacred Ground, Su Chen emerged.
Not far away, Gu Lin, seeing Su Chen preparing to leave, finally revealed a smile.
Although his strength was temporarily suppressed by Su Chen, his talent surpassed that of Su Chen.
He thought that Su Chen couldn't endure the fourth layer Sacred Ground and had no choice but to retreat.
When the classmates saw Su Chen emerge from the fourth layer Sacred Ground, their faces also turned grim.
Only Gu Fu Shou's face faintly showed a hint of a smile.
Before he could say anything, Su Chen had already made his way towards the fifth layer Sacred Ground.
He probably didn't expect Su Chen to dare to venture into the fifth layer.
Most young people, after experiencing the pressure of the first four layers, would lose confidence when facing the fifth layer.
The overwhelming pressure of the fourth layer was already incredibly difficult to bear.
Sometimes, not a single person would dare to enter it for an entire year.
Perhaps wanting to see Su Chen embarrassed, Gu Fu Shou didn't remind him and simply watched as Su Chen entered.
Entering the Fifth Layer Sacred Ground.
Su Chen finally felt its true aura pressure.
In this layer, it was no longer just the intense hammering.
There seemed to be sharp blades constantly slicing across his body.
His body had no wounds, but he could clearly feel the pain.
Just standing there, Su Chen already felt his body going numb.
The continuous pain even made him feel like his body didn't belong to him.
His mental focus began to blur, but Su Chen knew he had to concentrate.
【Unyielding】 Heavenly Will activated, and his entire mental state seemed to clear up a bit.
Faintly, Su Chen seemed to have some realization.
The Profound Heaven Heart Decision began to circulate.
Ninth Stage Body Refinement, Eighth Stage Essence Forging.
Entering the Seventh Stage, he built a valley with his body, and his character climbed from the depths to the peak.
His heart entered the depths, but it did not sink into loneliness.
His body reached the peak, but it did not become frenzied.
Su Chen seemed to forget the intense pain around him, and in his heart, he felt like he was standing in the valley.
Looking up, he saw towering peaks reaching into the clouds.
Without hesitation, Su Chen reached out and began climbing the mountain.
The mountain's surface was rugged with sharp rocks, and soon, his hands were stained with blood from the rough contact.
Watching the blood dye the mountain red, Su Chen didn't stop for a moment.
He continued climbing.
A loose rock caused Su Chen to fall heavily from the mountain's waist.
He coughed up some congealed blood and, after a moment, began climbing again.
Again and again, if he fell, he would climb back up.
The sky had already darkened.
But he continued climbing without stopping.
He didn't know how high the mountain was or how long he had been climbing.
Su Chen only knew that he had to climb over it.
Countless people had perished here, stopping at the Valley Embrace Realm.
Su Chen didn't want to stop here; he had to break through the Eighth Stage.
In a moment of determination, Su Chen didn't know how long he had been climbing.
But when he looked up, he had already passed through the clouds and seemed to have reached the summit.
After countless failures, had he finally reached the peak of his mental state?
But in the next moment, Su Chen realized he was still in the valley.
After all that hard work climbing, he had reached the summit, only to find it was just another valley.
In his mind, a fleeting thought of giving up flashed by.
But the next moment, Su Chen reached out again and climbed upwards.
This time, a strong sense of suffocation overwhelmed him.
Coming to his senses, Su Chen found himself still in the Fifth Layer Sacred Ground.
He had climbed that mountain in his mind for several days, but when he looked, only two hours had passed.
His Eighth Stage Essence Forging perfection strength had, at this moment, entered the Seventh Stage!
The Seventh Stage Valley Embracing Realm, he had entered it.
S
The intense pain of tempering his body seemed to have lessened significantly at this sacred ground.
Here, he found more nourishment for his body.
Su Chen calmed his mind and carefully felt the changes after entering the Seventh Stage.
His body had taken another step forward, and his body seemed to have become lighter, and his steps were much more agile.
As he waved his hand, he seemed to be carrying a faint trace of energy.
At the same time, his mental power increased significantly, a world of difference compared to the Eighth Stage.
Although he was only a step away from the Eighth Stage Essence Forging perfection, the gap felt like a vast chasm.
Additionally, Su Chen discovered something else; the number of Heavenly Destiny Points he could activate had changed.
