The Great Wild God - Chapter 72
Chapter 72 Beishan Disciple
Actually, from the moment he ascended the Heaven Staircase, the cruel competition between disciples had already begun.
The core disciples of the various prefectures would not only be able to choose profound profound arts, but also obtain more cultivation resources and support. It was absolutely impossible for a disciple in green to compete with them.
He pleaded heaven-defying.
The resources that the Azure Water College and the Su Wu Commandant’s Mansion could provide to many disciples for cultivation were also limited. If they wanted to obtain more, they could only fight for it on their own. At this time, who wouldn’t be secretly happy to lose a competitor?
Gu Jianfeng even more disdainfully rushed down the stairs and spat. He scolded, “A guy who overestimates himself deserves to be like this!”
Unless it was a direct descendant of the Su Clan who directly entered the inner court to cultivate, Su Ling and the other side branches wouldn’t have a higher status in the Azure Water School than the other disciples.
On that day, Su Ling and Su Yi’s two sons followed Su Qingfeng to the Black Mountain. Relying on the fact that they were Su Clan disciples who flaunted their might everywhere, and even treated Gu Hu, Gu Chen, and the others as slaves, Gu Jianfeng had long disliked them.
This time, Su Ling jumped out of the Azure Water to provoke trouble again and again. At this time, Gu Jianfeng naturally also had vengeance, vengeance, and resentment. He wished he could spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on his face.
Seeing Su Ling in such a miserable state, Su Yi was also speechless. He just sat cross-legged with a pale face, not daring to compete with Chen Xun and Gu Jianfeng.
When Lou Jiao saw that Su Ling was actually unable to withstand the excitement and forcefully broke through the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase that far exceeded his ability, he felt anxious.
He walked over and formed a seal with his hand, releasing a mysterious circle of light to protect Su Ling. He asked in a low voice, “Do you think you still have a chance to survive if you want this child to stay in the Learning Academy in the future?”
Su Ling reluctantly sat up and took out a pill to temporarily suppress his injuries, but the magic robes on his body were completely shattered, making him want to cry without tears.
This robe looked no different from the green robes worn by the other newly promoted disciples. However, it contained three layers of profound talismans. It was obtained from Ghost Faction through decades of savings. He had originally hoped to use this robe to compete for the position of a core disciple in the Su Wu Commandant’s Manor, but he never thought that it would be destroyed on the Heavenly Staircase today.
When he returned home, how would he explain to his family what had happened today?
*****************
Chen Xun watched as the hook-nosed deacon and Su Ling walked together again. He sneered in his heart with disdain,
Others only thought that he was a thirteen or fourteen year old youth. How could they know that if he stayed on Earth, he would have already married and had children?
After living in the Wilderness for several years, his will was tempered.
No matter what kind of poisonous scheme the Gui Xi Tribe secretly set up, as long as they did not dare to openly break the rules set by the Su Clan, he would be fearless. At worst, the soldiers would come to block it, and the water would come and the earth would flooded.
Chen Xun looked around again. His guess was correct. There were one hundred and twenty or thirty new disciples who had ascended the fourth level of the Heavenly Staircase Platform. However, less than one third of the disciples who could truly take another step into the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase were already qualified to directly enter the Profound Clothes Disciples of the various prefectures.
He raised his head and looked at the top of the mountain.
Previously, the Exalts of the Academy who were standing on the peak of the mountain had also begun to pay attention to the situation below the mountain. This also showed that the thirty plus disciples who had broken into the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase were the ones that the Azure Water School and the Su Clan would really focus on and nurture.
Originally, Chen Xun wanted to try out how many steps he could take to reach the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase, but judging from the situation, if he wanted to avoid attracting the attention of the Su Clan’s Clan Elders, he had to keep a low profile now.
It might not be a good thing for him to pass the fifth trial and enter the Academy.
Compared to the fourth staircase, the pressure was only slightly increased, but the aura coming from the mountain was even more terrifying. It was as if an ancient vicious beast was imprisoned in the Dragon Binding Mountain and struggling to roar, wanting to devour all the disciples and souls standing on the fifth staircase.
Before the Reincarnation Realm, the physical strength of the Barbarian Martial Cultivator and True Cultivator was limited. Whether or not they had greater cultivation potential was all in their divine souls.
The fifth trial of the Heavenly Staircase was also a test of the disciple’s divine soul.
Seeing Chen Xun break into the fifth floor of the Heavenly Staircase so easily, Qing Xuan’s eyes were still strangely bright, unlike the other people who looked dim and struggled to hold on. She was secretly shocked.
Even though Chen Xun had captured the sons of the Gui Xi Tribe alive during the trial, and most people thought that the Gui Xi Tribe was too careless this time to let Chen Xun and the others succeed, from the looks of it, Qing Xuan felt that Chen Xun’s strength might not necessarily be inferior to that of a barbarian.
Seeing Chen Xun turn around and look coldly at Su Ling, Qing Xuan also glanced at the fourth step. Coincidentally, Su Ling also looked this way.
Qing Xuan did not expect Su Ling to be so useless in front of Chen Xun. She pretended to be unintentional and avoided Su Ling’s gaze.
Seeing Qing Xuan’s eyes dodge, Su Ling’s heart felt unspeakably sour, and his hatred towards Chen Xun was even more monstrous, and he wished he could eat his meat raw.
As for the other disciples who had already reached the fourth level of the Heavenly Staircase Platform, they were secretly shocked to see that Chen Xun was only thirteen or fourteen years old, yet he was actually able to break through the invisible barrier of the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase so easily. They all thought in their hearts that it might not be wrong for the sons of the Gui Xi Tribe to ask him to capture him alive!
****************
Chen Xun didn’t care what other people thought. Seeing Qianlan and Qing Xuan break through the invisible barrier and step into the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase at the same time, he tried to take another three or four steps upwards. He felt that he might not necessarily be able to pass the fifth level, but he barely managed to reach the top of the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase.
After testing out his strength, Chen Xun no longer asked for any performance. Instead, he nodded to Gu Jianfeng, telling him and Qianlan to go as far up as possible, while he sat down cross-legged to cultivate.
“Are you not leaving anymore?” Qianlan hesitated. She had also reached her limit. Seeing Chen Xun stop, she wanted to sit down beside Chen Xun.
Seeing that Qianlan was about to stop, Chen Xun hurriedly made a gesture to her to take the medicine.
Qianlan was also Huizhi Lanxin. She immediately understood Chen Xun’s intention in making this gesture. She reached out and took out the Nine Yuan Orifice Nurturing Pill that had been in her chest for many days and swallowed it into her mouth.
Qianlan was already at the peak of the sixth level of the True Yang Realm. Whether or not she could break through to the seventh level was most important to see if her divine soul could breed her spiritual sense.
At this moment, the pressure released by the Dragon Binding Mountain Profound Talisman Array was the most severe test for the soul. Qianlan consumed the Nine Elements Orifice Nourishing Pill at this moment, which was the time when her soul was most likely to develop spiritual sense.
Chen Xun thought to himself, borrowing the pressure released by the Dragon Binding Mountain Profound Talisman Array and the dense Spiritual Qi circulating between the Heavenly Stairs, Qianlan was extremely likely to break through to the peak of the sixth layer and advance to the seventh layer of the True Yang Realm. This was an extremely rare opportunity for her and she couldn’t give up on it.
Qianlan possessed the Ancient Desolate Bloodline. As long as she could successfully produce her spiritual sense, her Soul Sea Alien Phase would definitely have an unexpected ability.
Chen Xun thought to himself that if Qianlan stood on the Heavenly Staircase and could use this opportunity to break through to the sixth level of the True Yang Realm, she would have a great chance of passing through the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase and directly become a disciple in purple and enter the Academy to cultivate.
If the tribes of the Northern Mountains were to produce a Purple-clothed disciple, the threat that Ghost Faction placed in the hearts of everyone would be weakened by a few points.
The grudge between Chen Xun and the Gui Xi Tribe had already spread throughout Azure Water City. Qing Xuan naturally knew that the Gui Xi Tribe had taken out three Nine Yuan Orifice Nurturing Pills and seven Talismans to protect their lives. She thought to herself, the pill that Left Thorn Qianlan was taking right now should be the Nine Yuan Orifice Nurturing Pill …
Qing Xuan was faintly jealous. She didn’t understand why Chen Xun was willing to share such precious medicinal pills and talismans with the disciples of other tribes.
Didn’t he know that the later he cultivated, the more precious and rare these resources would be?
Didn’t he know that in the Wildlands, for a Nine Elements Orifice Nurturing Pill, he would fight for the death of his clan?
When Qing Xuan was still fifteen years old, she had already consumed a Nine Yuan Orifice Nourishing Pill. Unfortunately, she was unable to break through to the sixth layer of the True Yang Realm.
She couldn’t help but think that if she could obtain another Nine Elements Orifice Nurturing Pill, she would be able to borrow the Dragon Binding Mountain’s Heavenly Staircase Formation to advance to the seventh level of the True Yang Realm. She would also be able to pass the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase and become a disciple in purple, no different from a direct descendant of the Su Clan.
Unfortunately, she was not a direct descendant of the Su Clan. She only had one or two chances to consume the Nine Orifices Nourishing Pill. She knew that she would never have the chance to complete the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase. She walked over to Chen Xun and sat down. She asked,
“Why don’t you go up?”
Qing Xuan’s body emitted a faint fragrance. Although the fragrance was faint, it entered Chen Xun’s nose. Chen Xun felt that it would be too long before he could erase this alluring fragrance from his spiritual sea of consciousness.
Chen Xun raised his head and looked at the mountain peak. He asked Qing Xuan indifferently, “Why did you also stop?”
“These three hundred steps of the Heavenly Staircase are too difficult. If you barely make it halfway, you still have to give up. Why don’t you seize the time to cultivate properly now? Is that what you think?” Qing Xuan opened her pitch-black pupils and looked into Chen Xun’s eyes, wanting to see something from these seemingly calm but distant eyes.
Chen Xun smiled, indicating that he really thought the same.
Seeing that Qing Xuan was so close to Chen Xun, the newly promoted disciples on both sides were extremely envious. However, their expressions no longer had the initial contempt. Instead, they looked at Chen Xun very seriously. Seeing that he still had the strength to move forward, they stopped. They felt that they could not see through him.
Yeah, who would dare to underestimate these disciples from the Northern Mountain now?
There were fewer than thirty new disciples of the Sixth Commandant’s Manor who had broken into the fifth floor of the Heavenly Staircase.
Of the nearly a hundred newly promoted disciples recommended by the Su Wu Commandant’s Manor to enter the Academy, three were from the Northern Mountain tribal clan, and even one of them had the Ancient Desolate Bloodline.
This result was truly too shocking.
How could the disciples of the Northern Mountain Tribe, who were so powerful and had boundless potential, be underestimated?
