Chapter 1111: Chapter 1138: Simply Outrageous! (Three More) Chapter 1111: Chapter 1138: Simply Outrageous! (Three More) Du Kang was on the verge of tears; he wouldn't dare deceive Fu Yao.
Fu Yao was the most valued female disciple in the entire Heaven Mountain Holy Land. Describing her as a genius favored by heaven was in no way an exaggeration. Such a disciple, who wasn't nurtured with all the resources of their sect?
Not to mention disciples like Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao, even Li Qingfeng, when faced with an enraged Fu Yao, wouldn't dare utter a word of refusal. The consequences would be severe.
Seeing Fu Yao's livid face, Du Kang said with a bitter smile, “How could I dare to deceive you? It's just… you can ask anyone, Yang Zhen has indeed entered the Heavenly Ladder Tower.”
What is the Heavenly Ladder Tower?
It's the existence referred to by the disciples of Heaven Mountain Holy Land as the Sky Termination Tower. The heavenly ladder might be climbable, but Sky Termination is simply not meant for humans to ascend.
Even Fu Yao herself couldn't reach the sixth tier, and Li Qingfeng fared slightly better, capable of forcefully challenging the sixth tier from the fifth, but that also required full preparation. Otherwise, a single misstep could lead to serious injury.
At this moment, Li Qingfeng was in seclusion within the fifth tier. Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao just wanted to give Yang Zhen a glimpse of the 'Sky Termination Tower', to make him recognize the difficulties and back off, instead of being so audacious as to claim he could instruct Elder Yan, which was utterly preposterous.
A group of disciples from Heaven Mountain Holy Land also came to watch the commotion, but… things didn't develop as everyone had imagined.
Yang Zhen… had, indeed, just walked into the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
If it weren't for Fu Yao's genuinely pale face, which didn't seem feigned, Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao would both have thought that Fu Yao had breached the Sacred Land's rules and secretly taught Yang Zhen the secret technique to enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
Everyone looked at each other, dumbfounded. Not to speak of hearing about it, even witnessing it with their own eyes felt surreal. How could they convince Fu Yao?
Seeing the ominous expression on Fu Yao's face, Ma Hui Cao sighed and said, “What Du Kang said is completely true; Yang Zhen really did enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower. We saw it with our own eyes, but there's one thing I don't understand: how could Yang Zhen enter? Unless one of us secretly taught him the secret technique for entering the Heavenly Ladder Tower?”
Fu Yao's complexion changed, and she fixed her gaze on Ma Hui Cao, “Are you suspecting me?”
Ma Hui Cao hastily shook his head and said, “Of course not, you couldn't have known that the two of us were going to take Yang Zhen to the Heavenly Ladder Tower. But if it's not you, then who could have known in advance that Yang Zhen would go to the Heavenly Ladder Tower and taught him the secret technique for entering?”
The three exchanged glances while the many surrounding disciples' faces turned pale.
“Yang Zhen actually knows the secret technique to enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower of our Heaven Mountain Holy Land?”
“This is absurd, who would betray us like this, to teach such a secret to Yang Zhen?”
“Could it be that Yang Zhen… actually doesn't know the secret technique to enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower?”
A disciple suddenly said skeptically.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone exploded in reaction.
“How is that possible? Without the secret technique, neither you nor I can enter the ladder. Even Elder Yan has said that if one lacks the secret technique to enter the Heavenly Ladder and attempts to force their way in, they will be crushed by an immense heavenly authority. Do you think the Heavenly Ladder Tower is something anyone can just enter?”
“Then how did Yang Zhen get in?”
“Someone must have secretly passed on the secret technique to enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower to Yang Zhen!”
While everyone's faces showed shock and uncertainty, Fu Yao's expression contained even greater astonishment. Who could have imagined the situation would develop to this extent?
Yang Zhen doesn't know the secret technique to enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower?
That's impossible!
Just then, someone suddenly exclaimed, “Look, Senior Brother Li Qingfeng is actually challenging the sixth tier!”
As the light within the fifth tier brightened immensely, everyone gasped. Even Fu Yao was taken aback, her eyes widening as she watched the light of the sixth tier gradually grow stronger.
The sixth tier was lit up, clearly indicating someone was challenging it. Since the only people inside the Heavenly Ladder Tower besides the recently entered Yang Zhen were Li Qingfeng, it was obvious that the one assaulting the sixth tier of the Heavenly Ladder Tower had to be Li Qingfeng.
Many people held their breath in rapt attention, even Yang Zhen had forgotten himself.
Between Li Qingfeng and Fu Yao, the issue of whose talent was slightly higher had been a matter of quiet comparison among the many disciples of the Heaven Mountain Holy Land, with supporters of both sides evenly matched. If Li Qingfeng managed to break through the sixth tier, it would prove that his talent in this aspect was stronger than Fu Yao's.
All eyes were wide open in anticipation, and a look of surprise tinged with uncertainty was flickering across Fu Yao's face, though she seemed to be free of any worry.
Only those who had broken through to the second Heaven Realm had a chance of ascending to the sixth tier of the Heavenly Ladder Tower. To Fu Yao's knowledge, Li Qingfeng had not achieved the breakthrough to the second Heaven Realm.
However, just as this thought arose, Fu Yao cried out in astonishment, her face revealing shock and delight–Li Qingfeng had actually made the breakthrough!
The light from the sixth tier blazed brilliantly, accompanied by thunderous rumbling sounds, while in contrast, the light from the fifth tier slowly extinguished.
This was enough evidence that Li Qingfeng had succeeded.
Indeed, a hearty laugh rang out, and Li Qingfeng's figure appeared before everyone; his breath might have been weak, but his eyes sparkled sharply, and his face was filled with pride and ecstatic joy.
Seeing the countless disciples of the Heaven Mountain Holy Land both inside and out, Li Qingfeng's face showed a trace of astonishment, and he laughed heartily, “It's just a breakthrough to the sixth tier, no need to go to such lengths to have so many fellow disciples come to congratulate me, right?”
Everyone could feel the pride and ecstatic joy on Li Qingfeng's face, but this was indeed to be expected.
The Sky Termination Tower, that was the Sky Termination Tower!
The sixth level of the Sky Termination Tower–if this news were to spread, it would surely shock the entire Heaven Mountain Holy Land.
The pride and ecstatic joy on Li Qingfeng's face gradually subsided. When he saw Fu Yao, he flashed a light smile, approached her, and said loudly, “Fu Yao, this time, I was fortunate enough to take the lead!”
Fu Yao nodded and said, “Congratulations!”
As she spoke, Fu Yao cast a peculiar glance toward the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
Li Qingfeng was taken aback, gave Fu Yao a puzzled look, and turned his gaze to the Heavenly Ladder Tower. Inside the first tier, there was a flicker of light!
“Someone's in there?”
Li Qingfeng's expression tensed as he turned to Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao, asking sternly, “Who is inside?”
With a sigh, Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao explained the situation with Yang Zhen to Li Qingfeng once again.
“Utterly preposterous!”
Li Qingfeng's face darkened as he stared at the two and chastised, “The Sky Termination Tower is of paramount importance to our Heaven Mountain Holy Land. How can we allow outsiders to enter it so casually? Yang Zhen…who taught him the method to enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower?”
With that, Li Qingfeng suddenly turned his gaze to Fu Yao.
Fu Yao shook her head and said, “It wasn't me!”
“Not you?” Li Qingfeng snorted coldly, turned to Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao, and said, “No matter how arrogant Yang Zhen is, he is still a guest brought by the Nine Dragons Saint. You let him into the Sky Termination Tower, but if he gets hurt, who will bear the responsibility?”
Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao exchanged glances and both curled their lips in resignation.
Damn it, you probably want Yang Zhen to get hurt in the Heavenly Ladder Tower, or even get killed, more than anyone else. What are you so proud of just for breaking through the sixth tier?
But these were thoughts the two dared not voice.
At that moment, a cry of alarm suddenly arose from the crowd, and all eyes subconsciously turned toward the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
The second tier was already lit up.
“He's entered the second tier?” Li Qingfeng's countenance grew somber as he said in a deep voice, “Indeed, such exceptional talent. I would like to see just how high you can climb.”
