Chapter 254: Chapter 131: Heavenly Ladder, Enter the Heavenly Sect!
Lu Changsheng remained motionless, but he did not panic. Instead, he was exceptionally calm.
Thick mist surrounded him, obscuring all directions. If he acted rashly at this moment, he might step into thin air.
If that happened, he would surely fall to his death, shattering into pieces.
"A trial by the Heavenly Ladder?"
A flicker of brilliance flashed in Lu Changsheng’s eyes.
The Heavenly Ladder would undoubtedly have trials.
Otherwise, how could one become a seed disciple and receive the great cultivation resources of the North Region Heavenly Sect?
Yet, this dense mist...
Lu Changsheng closed his eyes.
"Phew..."
At this point, Lu Changsheng hadn’t even reached halfway up the mountain.
However, at the foot of the mountain, faint breezes were always present.
At this moment, the breezes brushed past, and Lu Changsheng’s Perception Domain rapidly expanded outward in all directions.
Within the Perception Domain, Lu Changsheng could "sense" everything.
At times, within the Perception Domain, it was even more effective than using one’s eyes.
Sure enough, as Lu Changsheng unleashed his Perception Domain, the thick mist around him was revealed. In his perception, there wasn’t any actual mist.
Instead, it resembled an energy from some domain, causing one to mistakenly believe they were shrouded in dense fog.
Under such circumstances, one would either need an exceptionally resolute will and powerful spiritual strength to naturally see through the mist,
or possess means similar to Lu Changsheng’s, akin to the concept of Perception Realm.
No, the concept of Perception Realm would likely be ineffective and subject to suppression.
It must be the Perception Domain.
After all, what Lu Changsheng was utilizing was the Perception Domain—though it was clearly being suppressed by some kind of power.
Originally, Lu Changsheng could perceive an area spanning hundreds of miles.
Yet now, he could only sense a range of a hundred feet around him.
Even his Perception Domain had been compressed to such an extent. If he were still using the Wind Perception Concept, he might have been suppressed to the point where he could sense nothing at all.
This is the Heavenly Ladder!
It’s not easy to ascend the Heavenly Ladder.
At the summit of the mountain, there were several servants.
Along with them, a few Outer Sect disciples had taken up the duty of guarding the mountain gate.
From the top of the mountain, they could see the situation below.
These servants were individuals who had escaped from the mountain base to the top of the mountain.
The incident where Lu Changsheng had slain servants at the foot of the mountain had already reached the ears of the Outer Sect disciples at the summit.
Therefore, their interest in him was peaked.
"Look, he seems to be trapped within the Heavenly Ladder Domain, lost and unable to move forward, standing still in place."
"Does he think ascending the Heavenly Ladder is easy? Plenty of people, overconfident in their abilities, believe they can climb the Heavenly Ladder, only to end up falling off a cliff, their bodies shattered."
"How vast is the North Region? Some geniuses, hailed as extraordinary talents in their countries or factions, think themselves unstoppable. Perhaps, in their eyes, the Heavenly Ladder of the North Region Heavenly Sect must surely be just a gift of resources—a mere formality for them. They step onto it with blind confidence, believing they’ll pass effortlessly. Yet, it’s often such people who perish the most on the Heavenly Ladder."
"This man is so arrogant and domineering, killing servants who served senior Inner Sect disciples before even entering the sect. Haha! Does he really believe the sect wasn’t aware of the silver coins collected by those servants at the Heavenly Ladder? He overrates himself. Now, he forces his way onto the Heavenly Ladder, trapped within the Heavenly Ladder Domain. I bet before long, he’ll lose his footing and fall."
These Outer Sect disciples spent their days guarding the mountain gate and rarely earned much merit. Life was dull and monotonous.
Now, with the sudden appearance of a "wild one" who dared to kill servants—a true spectacle—a wave of intrigue swept through them. Naturally, their focus was drawn.
In fact, many of them hoped Lu Changsheng would manage to advance a few more steps up the Heavenly Ladder before meeting his demise, giving them prolonged entertainment.
Sadly, once caught in the Heavenly Ladder Domain, few ever managed to emerge.
Unless one had already cultivated a domain, or possessed an extraordinarily powerful will and spirit, rare and exceptional, only then could they break free of the Heavenly Ladder Domain and truly ascend the ladder to enter the sect.
Yet such prodigies were exceedingly rare.
Once admitted into the sect, they would invariably stir up waves, becoming vital figures within the sect.
At this very moment, Lu Changsheng, still trapped within the Heavenly Ladder Domain, had already made up his mind to continue ascending.
Thick mist surrounded him.
Keeping his eyes open would only hinder him further.
Thus, Lu Changsheng decisively closed his eyes, relying solely on his Perception Domain.
When Lu Changsheng closed his eyes, the thick mist around him seemed to vanish in an instant.
A hundred-foot radius was laid bare within Lu Changsheng’s perception, crystal clear and without obstruction.
Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng took a step forward.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Lu Changsheng advanced steadily.
Moreover, he walked with his eyes closed, yet moved across the Heavenly Ladder as if he were strolling on level ground—a surreal sight.
At the mountain summit, the servants and Outer Sect disciples, who had previously thought of Lu Changsheng as mere amusing spectacle, suddenly froze in disbelief on their faces.
"How could this be? He... he actually escaped the Heavenly Ladder Domain?"
"He’s walking with his eyes closed? One step, two steps, three steps... He’s traversing the Heavenly Ladder as though it’s flat terrain, without relying on sight?"
"To ascend the Heavenly Ladder, one must possess either an indomitable will and spirit, or have cultivated a domain. His current behavior, moving with closed eyes, must be utilizing some form of sensing—a Perception Domain perhaps?"
"A domain! He must have cultivated a domain! And this at the Divine Power Realm. Before even entering the sect, he has already evolved a domain. With such talent, he will undoubtedly become an Inner Sect disciple. Among Inner Sect disciples, he will surely stand out as elite. His chances of advancing to the True Disciple rank in the future are not impossible."
"This is a major figure—we cannot afford to provoke him..."
In that moment, the Outer Sect disciples exchanged glances with grave expressions.
