How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 1049 - 744: Nine-Step Cloud Ladder, Part 3
Master’s eyes suddenly widened, staring at Lin Xiaosu in disbelief.
"Oh my god! The purple zone!" Someone exclaimed by the lake.
"Has he steadied himself? If he has, he’s this year’s first peerless Heavenly Pride to set foot in the seven-layer purple zone!"
"He’s steadied himself! Look, the lake’s color has changed!"
Indeed, in an instant, the lake’s color transformed from a hint of pale silver to a full silvery-white, and in that moment, the entire world looked as beautiful as a dream.
On the Holy Tree, it seemed as if there were spots of fluorescence.
Numerous ancient elders, at this moment, also opened their long-closed eyes due to the unusual change in the holy lake.
Above the Cloud Spirit Heavenly Ladder, there were still hundreds climbing, but at this moment, all the elegance focused on one person, who was Lin Xiaosu, stepping onto the seven-layer purple zone and changing the lake’s color.
Among the tens of millions by the lakeside, there were those who were shocked, excited, yet some were aghast.
The aghast one was the gambling-loving Brother Ding.
By his ear, Elder Yun’s cold voice whispered: "You lost. I will now slaughter everyone from the Ding Family clean!"
With a faint sizzling sound, Brother Ding’s whole body turned into blood-colored clouds.
Within Inner Sect number eight, the young lady frowned: "Master, Elder Yun killed another!"
Master sighed gently: "Elder Yun was expelled from the rank of high level elders, there’s a fire in his heart. Remember this, disciples, don’t provoke him."
The young lady said: "Elder Yun’s cultivation should be top-notch in the hall, why did the Great Elder insist on rejecting him?"
"It’s still a struggle of concepts. The Great Elder firmly supports the fusion of bloodlines, while Elder Yun scorns him as seeking glory by selling out the clan. Their conflict has already reached a point of no return, how... Yi!"
Master’s voice abruptly stopped...
With a startling cry accompanying this moment...
Lin Xiaosu stepped onto the Eighth Level Heavenly Ladder.
This step on the heavenly ladder was like a thunderbolt, accompanied by golden lightning breaking through the sky, covering the entire lake.
In an instant, the whole holy lake changed from silver to gold.
Under the golden sunset, golden waves stirred a unanimous cheer from the tens of millions by the lake.
Elder Yun’s gaze suddenly lifted, and at this moment, shone brilliantly.
Leaves on the Holy Tree became peaks.
On one peak, a young man standing on a thousand miles of layered clouds, with an imposing and graceful face, but at this moment, his flowing long hair stood frozen in the air, his pupils contracted, and the grace on his face seemed momentarily frozen.
He was Saint Lord Du Ling of the Spirit Ruins Hall.
He was of mixed blood between Spirit and Demon.
Three thousand years ago, he crossed the eighth level platform and entered the Spirit Ruins Hall, taking less than a millennium to ascend, currently a totemic figure in the Second Vessel.
It was he who informed the entire Spirit Ruins Hall of the innate advantages of being of mixed blood, declaring that only those of mixed Spirit and Demon blood, combining the best of both clans, could ascend to the Eighth Level Golden Hall.
He and his master, the great elder of the Spirit Ruins Hall, pushed this tide throughout the Spirit Ruins.
Last year, a woman named "Ling Su" suddenly appeared, ascending the eighth level platform with a pure Human Clan identity, creating significant trouble for their grand plan, which they had just resolved, and now, another one appears?
This must be dealt with!
Otherwise, the tide of this era, shaped over three thousand years, would be disrupted!
"Don’t worry, Saint Heir!" An elder appeared beside him: "No high level elder dares to go against the tide and take him as a disciple."
Saint Lord Du Ling’s eyes, filled with demonic determination, locked onto the elder appearing out of nowhere: "Is it enough if the high level elders don’t dare to accept him as a disciple?"
The elder’s face tightened: "The Saint Heir’s concerns are indeed valid. Simply not daring to accept him as a disciple is clearly not enough, this child must die!"
The Heart Dao and Mental Path working with the Demon Clan’s real "species change plan" hinges on proclaiming the advantages of mixed bloods. They concluded three thousand years ago that today’s era differs vastly from a million years ago, and only the mixed bloods of Spirit and Demon, merging the strengths of both clans, can ascend the Eighth Level Heavenly Platform and grasp the ancient laws of the Spirit Clan.
This trend has been prevalent for three thousand years, and was undisturbed until last year.
Gradually, it gained the trust of many.
And the species change plan entered the fast lane because of this.
Last year it was broken once, but after vigorous efforts by the elders, they forcibly corrected it.
And this year, as if haunted, it has been broken again!
The only solution is to remedy it with last year’s strategy...
"Go!" Saint Lord Du Ling tore through the void with an overwhelming killing intent...
As he stepped into the void, Lin Xiaosu also took a step.
This step left everyone dumbfounded!
He stepped onto the Ninth Level!
The jade-colored long vine of the Ninth Level, like the essence of a human body, is the fundamental color of the ancient Spirit Clan.
Not to mention the span of tens of millions of years, during which no strange clan ever ascended, even of pure Spirit Clan ancestors, only seven have ever ascended, with the last one being the legendary Heavenly Pride Holy Daughter of immense innate talent: Saintess Qian Ling.
Today, a bloodline entirely unrelated to the Spirit Clan wants to climb the Ninth Level Cloud Spirit Heavenly Ladder?
The lakeside stood as still as statues, with tens of millions looking up.
The lake water surged, golden waves raising countless layers.
In the vast sky, suddenly flowers bloomed.
Behind each flower was a figure resembling a Venerable Heavenly Immortal.
In an instant, the sky outside the Eighth Level Platform was filled with Spirit Ruins Spirit Flower.
People by the lakeside, someone exhaled: "Flowers bloom in the void, people sit in the starry sky, unlike the Third Obsession but better than the Third Obsession, these people, are all high level elders."
"It’s not surprising to see the high level elders appear, it would be odd if they didn’t!" Another said: "Ascending the Eighth Level Heavenly Ladder, originally high level elders should appear to recruit direct disciples."
