Chapter 1114: Chapter 1141: What Kind of Monster is Yang Zhen? (Three More) Chapter 1114: Chapter 1141: What Kind of Monster is Yang Zhen? (Three More) “Another surprise?”
Though the Heaven Mountain Holy Lord was indeed beautiful, her overwhelming presence was somewhat too domineering, the very essence of an empress, clearly demonstrating how formidable her power truly was.
Upon hearing this, Elder Yan hastily explained, “Has the Holy Lord forgotten that within the Heavenly Ladder Tower, there lies a legend?”
The Heaven Mountain Holy Lord was shaken and asked in amazement, “Are you talking about… the Ascension Order?”
What?
The Ascension Order?
Upon hearing the name Ascension Order, everyone present was shocked, especially Li Qingfeng and Fu Yao, whose expressions turned extremely unsightly.
Li Qingfeng's eyes even revealed a thick murderous intent!
Yang Zhen could steal all the limelight, making him feel completely insignificant, and could emerge out of nowhere just as he was finally making a breakthrough on the sixth rung, drawing everyone's attention to himself.
But… he must not touch the Ascension Order!
Many disciples of the Heaven Mountain Holy Land called the Heavenly Ladder Tower the Sky Termination Tower, as it was a place that severed all hopes, with very few disciples ever passing the fourth rung!
But Li Qingfeng and Fu Yao were different; both young, they had already broken through to the Saint Realm and were endowed with exceptional talent. While the Heavenly Ladder Tower was a Sky Termination Tower to others, to these two, it was merely a place to refine their characters, and few disciples of the Heaven Mountain Holy Land knew how much of the Ksitigarbha Skill and Mysterious Principles Prohibition one could learn within it.
This was something that even Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao couldn't fathom, as they too had only reached the third rung and had not ascended to the fourth.
Otherwise, even with ten times their courage, they would not dare to take Yang Zhen in an attempt to force their way into the Heavenly Ladder Tower!
Even knowing that Yang Zhen did not possess the method to enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower and was utterly incapable of accessing it, neither of them had the audacity to use the tower to entrap Yang Zhen.
Now, not only had they failed to trap Yang Zhen, but they had also gotten themselves in trouble, and the punishment they were to carry after this incident would be unimaginably severe.
Li Qingfeng's face was somber as he looked towards the two men. Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao were now completely baffled, standing there speechless, their faces drained of all color.
Clearly, they had realized the extent of the disaster they had caused!
Seeing that neither the Holy Lord nor the other elders showed any sign of blame on their faces, Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao had relaxed a bit, but when the words “Ascension Order” were mentioned, the blood drained from their faces once more, leaving them pale as ghosts.
For Fu Yao and Li Qingfeng, the Ascension Order had always been their dream. They could let go of anything else, but the Ascension Order was always an object of their rivalry, which had become common knowledge among all the disciples of the Heaven Mountain Holy Land.
The existence of an Ascension Order hidden within the Heavenly Ladder Tower was not a secret, but even the Holy Lord and the elders, who had entered the tower many times, had never succeeded in locating it.
Over time, even the Holy Lord began to feel that the existence of the Ascension Order was meant for someone destined, and it might not be that the higher one's cultivation, the more certain one could find it.
With this belief, the desire of Fu Yao and Li Qingfeng for the Ascension Order grew even more profound.
It could be said that the reason Fu Yao and Li Qingfeng cultivated so desperately was to one day find the Ascension Order within the Heavenly Ladder Tower and find a way to refine it.
It was an overt battle and a secret competition between the two.
And now Elder Yan was actually suggesting that Yang Zhen might find the Ascension Order within?
What did this mean?
It wasn't just Li Qingfeng, even Fu Yao directed her gaze towards Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao.
The two men felt like crying now; even if the sect did not blame them, their days ahead were likely to become very uncomfortable.
On one side was Li Qingfeng, on the other was Fu Yao. If either of them just gave them trouble, the days ahead would surely become exceedingly difficult.
“Yang Zhen, this bastard, where the hell did such a monster come from!” cursed Du Kang inwardly, over and over, but he just couldn't beckon a thunderbolt from the skies to strike down.
Ma Hui Cao was also grinding his teeth in anger, staring at the Heavenly Ladder Tower with bloodshot eyes clearly visible.
A strange expression flitted across the face of the Heaven Mountain Holy Lord as he asked, “Does Elder Yan believe that Yang Zhen could find the Ascension Order inside?”
Elder Yan gave a wry smile and said, “It's far from easy. However, the fact that Yang Xiaozi managed to enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower without any method of cultivation can only mean one thing–that his understanding of the Ksitigarbha Skill and the Mysterious Principles of the universe is no less than mine!”
Hearing these words, Li Qingfeng stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
What do you mean 'no less than you'?
Yang Zhen is merely a junior, and you, an elder, actually praise him so highly; aren't you ashamed?
Even the Heaven Mountain Holy Lord looked at Elder Yan with a weird expression. He took a deep breath and asked, “Is what you said true?”
Elder Yan nodded and said, “It is true.”
Look at that solemn expression on his face, the utter seriousness–it made Li Qingfeng feel like slapping him and asking if he had woken up from a dream.
But… clearly, he couldn't do that.
Could it be that Yang Zhen's talent was really so terrifying?
Li Qingfeng took a deep breath and suddenly found everything pointless. Cultivation seemed pointless, storming the Heavenly Ladder Tower seemed pointless. Even standing there felt pointless. All he wanted to do now was lie down and not care about anything else.
What Yang Zhen, what Ascension Order, what Heavenly Ladder Tower…
Dammit, are you all making a fool of me, Li Qingfeng?
Is this some kind of joke?
Fu Yao's eyes shimmered with doubt as she cast her gaze towards Nine Dragons. Seeing the odd expression on the face of the Nine Dragons Saint, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Clearly, Yang Zhen's performance had also exceeded the expectations of the Nine Dragons Saint, which meant that previously, Nine Dragons had not known that Yang Zhen could enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
In that case, it could be that Yang Zhen entered the tower by a stroke of luck or by accident.
Thinking this, Fu Yao sighed. Of course, it wasn't impossible, just highly improbable.
Such thoughts felt like self-deception!
Yet Fu Yao still harbored a fantasy. Even if Yang Zhen had a greater mastery of the Ksitigarbha Skill than Elder Yan, would that necessarily mean he could find the Ascension Order?
Besides, even if he did find the Ascension Order, with Yang Zhen's level of cultivation, refining it would not be an easy task.
Fu Yao looked at Li Qingfeng, noticing his flickering gaze; it was clear that he was thinking the same as she.
At that moment, even the Heaven Mountain Holy Lord said with a smile, “It's far from easy to find the Ascension Order. This legend has existed for tens of thousands of years, and over those years, countless talented disciples from our Heaven Mountain Holy Land have entered the Heavenly Ladder, yet none has found a trace of the Ascension Order. Yang Zhen…”
He paused and glanced at Nine Dragons with a half-smiling expression, “What does Nine Dragons think are the chances of Yang Zhen finding the Ascension Order?”
Nine Dragons laughed heartily, also looking at the Heaven Mountain Holy Lord with a playful expression. “Me? I think that whatever it is inside your Heavenly Ladder Tower, none of it can escape Yang Xiaozi's eyes!”
What?
At these words, everyone was furious!
Weren't those words a bit too exaggerated?
What sort of monster was Yang Zhen, to make Nine Dragons utter such a thing?
It was so preposterous it was almost laughable!
