Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 564 - 362: Dragon Ascending Ladder, Transform into Dragon Energy (Part 3)
Such an individual entering the Divine Martial Hall.
Without a doubt, the senior disciple of this generation, the pillar of the Divine Martial First Phase, must certainly be him.
And many people, after Xue Bailiu reached the top, also began to strive to reach the summit.
Within the Divine Martial Academy.
Li Shentong and several major sect leaders, as well as future teachers of the Divine Martial Hall, were not surprised at Xue Bailiu’s first ascent. However, seeing those still hesitatingly progressing on the mountain, many frowned deeply.
"Up to now, has no one realized that the steps up the mountain are not only a test but also an opportunity?"
"Xue Bailiu should have realized, after all, he has already reached the pinnacle of the Tenth Realm of Primordial Heaven, about to achieve Xuanwu True Body Completion. He can comprehend the Qi Mechanism of heaven and earth and sense the mystery hidden within these steps. However, precisely because his cultivation is nearing True Body Perfection, he doesn’t care about the opportunity given by climbing the mountain. But the others... has no one really noticed?"
The Great Priest of the Martial Temple frowned, saying:
"These steps up the mountain are from the ’Dragon Ascending Ladder’ of the Ancient Heavenly Son Period, extracted by us from a fragment of Ancient Martial Arts Heaven and Earth. Although each step adds more pressure, the original intention of this heavenly ladder is to ’weigh innate talent,’ meaning to ascend the mountain relying solely on one’s innate talent without external assistance. If done so, one will have a chance to enhance their innate talent. The pressures are both a tempering and a creation, bearing down on the innate talent, promoting its change and transformation, and yet the result..."
That Xue Bailiu, with his true body nearly at great success, didn’t need much improvement, so he utilized his Xuanwu True Skill in one breath to reach the summit.
Why did none of the other climbers discover this point, merely using martial arts and external forces to resist the pressure, not considering using merely their innate talent to endure the tempering?
At this moment, while the major sect leaders and teachers inside frowned over this.
In fact, many geniuses outside faintly sensed something amiss, but in their hurry to ascend the mountain, they did not spend much time pausing on the steps, merely feeling that something was subtly wrong.
However, Chen Ku was different.
He also noticed something was wrong, and simultaneously, he hoped to ascend the mountain quickly to achieve a good result, to avoid being assigned to the Lower Academy.
But although he had no time to study the secret on the stairs.
He had other means.
"These steps have secrets, containing many truths..."
Immediately, he looked at the cluster of Devouring Element Fruit in front of the Mountain Lifting Hall in the Hero King Realm. Among them, three matured quickly and were fully ripe. Pretending to reach into his storage gourd, he took out one Devouring Element Fruit and bit into it.
"How extravagant! Climbing a mountain, yet using top-grade spiritual fruit to replenish energy?" Someone saw Chen Ku’s action, expressing envy and jealousy.
Yet they did not know, Chen Ku’s purpose in biting into this top-grade Devouring Element Fruit was merely to save time in making his own judgment. Instead, he decisively utilized the Innate Divine Ability of the Six-Eared Macaque, beginning to listen for secrets about the trial of the Divine Martial Mountain.
Immediately, through the perspective of the Six-Eared Macaque Transformation on his Transformation Diagram, he saw an abundance of green messages atop the Divine Martial Mountain.
Many messages came from the geniuses climbing the mountain, either in the Seventh Realm or the Eighth Realm, with many secrets on them.
Chen Ku chose to listen towards the ground, seeing the green message on the steps.
Immediately, he grabbed it near his ear:
[The Dragon Ascending Ladder, a divine artifact constructed during the Ancient Heavenly Son Period, contains Creation Energy, capable of altering innate talent. If you ascend the heavenly ladder relying solely on the ability of your innate talent without external force, reaching the end, you will be granted creation, enhancing your innate talent, bestowing Dragon Transformation Energy!]
Chen Ku came to his senses, retreating from the perspective of the Six-Eared Macaque.
His eyes widened:
"Dragon Ascending Ladder? Innate Talent Test? Bestowal of Dragon Transformation Energy?"
Immediately, he communicated this matter through sound transmission in secret, informing the six sons of Yan Capital.
Then he jumped down from the steps he painstakingly climbed over four hundred layers, back to the first step, took a deep breath, and started climbing again.
