The Great Wild God - Chapter 74
Chapter 74 Stop
Only Qianlan was still persisting, but it was also exceptionally difficult.
The protective spiritual light formed by the Soul Sea Alien Form was like candlelight in a violent wind, causing people to worry that it would be blown out by the boundless pressure from Mount Dragon Binding Mountain in the next moment.
As Qianlan raised her hand and feet, her hands and feet seemed to be bound with a tremendous weight, and her bones seemed to be extremely weak, causing people to worry that in the next moment, her body would be crushed into pieces.
Every step Qianlan took touched the hearts of thousands of people. Seeing how difficult she was, her delicate face was filled with pain. Some people couldn’t bear to persuade her to give up.
“He possesses the Ancient Desolate Bloodline and is exceptionally precious. If he continues to hold on like this, if he fails to hold on and destroys the Dao Foundation, he will die!”
“Even if you can’t break through the fifth floor of the Heavenly Staircase, the Academy will still rush to take you in.”
“That’s right. Stop! Not everyone can cross the Dragon Gate at such a young age. The Su Clan has only produced one Su Tang in a hundred years! Little girl, you are already too much stronger than others …”
After Chen Xun moved into the disciple courtyard, he hadn’t heard anyone mention Su Tang. However, he hadn’t expected that someone would mention Su Tang at this moment. He couldn’t help but imagine that Su Tang’s extraordinary elegance when she picked up the Heavenly Staircase would be extremely relaxed, right?
When Qing Xuan saw Chen Xun’s childish face, it instantly became extremely gentle. She wondered in her heart why he gave off such a gentle feeling when he was so young. She asked him,
“What’s on your mind?”
“Nothing.” Chen Xun shook his head.
“…” Qing Xuan only thought that Chen Xun was secretly affectionate towards Qianlan and was worried about her. She asked, “Aren’t you worried that Qianlan would barely persevere and instead harm her cultivation?”
“Cultivating is the most important thing in tempering one’s will. All sorts of words of advice are actually the demonic barriers Qianlan is about to break through. Whether she can do it or not, she knows in her heart, what do I need to worry about for her?” Chen Xun replied with a smile.
Hearing Chen Xun’s words, Qing Xuan didn’t take it seriously. She clearly couldn’t do it, but she still clenched her teeth and forced herself to endure. Others couldn’t discuss it anymore?
However, at this moment, a shout came from the top of the mountain.
“Shut up!”
The shouts weren’t loud, but from the top of the mountain to the ear, they rolled like thunder, causing people’s souls to tremble and their minds to wake up.
Qing Xuan raised her head and saw that the Fourth Uncle was standing on the edge of the mountain with his arms. The golden light in his eyes seemed to have substance. He bent down and looked at the crowd that had interfered with Qianlan’s climbing the Heavenly Staircase.
“Seeking the Dao is like sailing against the water, not retreating further. Only with a firm heart can one become a Dao Cultivator-you can’t break through your own heart barrier, but you can still point your fingers at others. You are truly stubborn!”
The disciples were so frightened that they didn’t dare to talk any more.
Hearing this, Qing Xuan was secretly shocked. Wasn’t what Fourth Uncle said the same as Chen Xun? However, Fourth Granduncle’s lifespan was already more than a hundred years old, and his cultivation had advanced to the late stage of the Reincarnation Realm. How could a thirteen or fourteen year old youth be comparable to him in terms of his knowledge of cultivation?
Qing Xuan really did not expect that Chen Xunren, the little brat, would actually be able to say such words.
Chen Xun didn’t recognize the old man in green. Seeing that his face was clear, he couldn’t tell how old he was. His aura didn’t seem to be strong, but his shout contained unparalleled divine might.
He cultivated a sturdy barbarian soul that could withstand the pressure of the Heavenly Staircase of Mount Dragon Binding, but it caused the old man’s soft shout to distort and almost collapse. He thought to himself that the old man’s cultivation was truly shockingly high, and he would still be avoiding him later.
No one expected that, There would be elders to help Qianlan get rid of the noise. At this moment, everyone knew that the nine people standing on the mountain peak were looking forward to Qianlan crossing the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase. They thought in their hearts, they must have seen that Qianlan still had the potential to tap into it. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have let Qianlan risk destroying the Dao Foundation to forcefully break through the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase.
At this time, everyone’s gazes at Qianlan became even more fanatical.
Before the age of twenty, the disciples of the Academy had the chance to break through the Heavenly Staircase. They could directly enter the inner courtyard to cultivate.
In the past few years, less than a hundred people who could directly become Purple-clothed disciples had reached the peak of the ninth level of the True Yang Realm by the time they were twenty years old.
Before the age of sixteen, there were only ten purple-clothed disciples who could pass through the fifth floor of the Heavenly Staircase. All of them were Elders’ direct disciples.
In the past hundred years, even if the direct descendants of the Su Clan were included, there was only one person who had directly crossed the fifth floor of the Heavenly Staircase before the age of thirteen or fourteen.
That was Cang Lan’s Holy Maiden, Su Tang!
This time, Qianlan would be the most dazzling new star in Azure Water City in the past hundred years. She was almost certain that she would break through to the ninth level of the True Yang Realm before she was twenty years old and advance to the Reincarnation Realm. She would become another leading figure among the disciples of the Academy outside of Su Tang!
Isn’t it exciting to see this happen?
Although Qing Xuan’s heart was slightly sour, she could not help but look forward to it.
Could this Qianlan be able to divert some of Su Tang’s light?
Chen Xun knew that Qianlan looked weak by nature, but in fact, she was extremely strong in her heart. He guessed that she should be able to grind her teeth and persevere until the end.
Under the fervent expectation of the crowd, Qianlan finally reached the peak of the five-storey Heavenly Staircase. She was only one step away from actually crossing the fifth staircase.
Not only were the hundreds of thousands of spectators at the foot of the mountain, but also the thousands of disciples and deacons on the Heavenly Staircase held their breaths in anticipation of the miracle happening in the next moment. Even the nine people standing on the mountain peak panted heavily at this moment, their hearts beating wildly.
Before he was fourteen years old, he had already crossed the five heavenly stairs. That was the true seedling of immortals!
However, at this moment, Qianlan suddenly stopped and turned to look.
The hearts of the hundreds of thousands of people almost exploded with Qianlan’s words.
Just one step away, don’t breathe, rest until you’re done!
You can’t play us like this!
Are you still leaving or not?
Chen Xun didn’t know what Qianlan meant, but his eyes were indescribably bright. Then, he saw Qianlan sitting down cross-legged, expressing that she had given up the chance to directly ascend the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase Platform. Chen Xun seemed to be able to hear the hearts of more than a hundred thousand people crying out in sorrow.
“Just one step away, why did you give up?”
Chen Xun couldn’t help but smile bitterly and mutter softly, “Hey, this damn girl!”
Only then was Qing Xuan surprised to discover that Qianlan wasn’t incapable of stepping onto the fifth floor of the Heavenly Staircase Platform in a single step. She really wanted to stay with Chen Xun and the others at the Su Wu Commandant’s Mansion. Only then did she give up the opportunity to enter the Academy and directly become a purple-clothed disciple.
The nine people on the mountain peak didn’t know why.
Although Qianlan finally gave up the chance to directly cross the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase, which was inevitably a bit regretful, they were also very excited that such a good seedling could emerge from the newly promoted disciples this time.
Without waiting for the formation to disappear, the thin old man in the lead waved his hand and released a ray of spiritual light. Under Qianlan’s feet, he condensed a cloud of energy and directly carried her to the peak of the mountain.
Shortly after, Chen Xun’s intuition suddenly lightened, and the boundless pressure dissipated without a trace.
At this moment, the disciples in purple and profound clothes who were watching the fun all headed towards the summit of the mountain. Chen Xun also stood up and ascended with Qing Xuan and the others.
“Qianlan, this girl can directly enter the inner court. Why did she give up such a good opportunity?” Gu Jianfeng complained that Ghost Faction was the giant blade that was pressing down on the hearts of everyone in the Northern Mountain. If one of the five of them could produce a purple-clothed disciple, their fear of Ghost Faction would be greatly reduced.
Chen Xun smiled faintly and said, “Judging from this posture, even if Qianlan doesn’t want to enter the inner court, I’m afraid it’s not up to her.”
Gu Jianfeng thought about it as well. They had to work hard to climb another few hundred steps, and the nine people on the mountain peak directly cast spells, sending Qianlan to the mountain peak. This showed their love.
Not to mention entering the inner court, there would most likely be elders who would rush to take Qianlan as their disciple.
If Beishan was able to climb onto the thick thighs of an elder beside Azure Water City, why would he fear the threat of the Gui Xi Tribe?
Chen Xun, Gu Jianfeng, and the others climbed to the top of the mountain. The nine people on the top of the mountain had already openly argued over Qianlan’s ownership.
‘”Everyone also saw that this girl really has the ability to clench her teeth and break through the fifth floor of the Heavenly Staircase. However, she gave up at the critical moment, indicating that she wanted to stay in the Su Wu Commandant’s Mansion to cultivate. She defied the heavens and went straight to her heart. Ninth Uncle must recruit her into the Academy. Su Quan, I have nothing to say, but this may not necessarily benefit her cultivation …”
Only then did Chen Xun recognize the old man sitting at the far right of the nine. He looked to be sixty or seventy years old, and he was actually the right lieutenant of the Su Wu Lieutenant’s Manor, Su Quan.
It was said that Su Qingfeng and Su were both the sons of Su Junyuan, the Su Martial Commandant’s Manor Master. Su Quan wasn’t much older than Su Qingfeng. Chen Xun hadn’t expected Su Quan to be an old man before.
Thinking about it, Su Qingfeng became famous 30 years ago. He had good relations with the last Heavenly Barbarian Zong Shouyang of the Black Python Tribe. Presumably, even if he wasn’t sixty or seventy years old, he wouldn’t be young.
Chen Xun thought to himself that he had cultivated to the stage of rejuvenation long ago, and his appearance had not changed since then, which was why he gave off the illusion that he was in his prime.
As for the red-bearded old man who was arguing with Su Quan, his fat head and big face must represent the elders of the inner court. His seniority was one generation higher than Su Quan’s. At this moment, he said slowly,
“Su Quan, it’s not impossible for you to leave this girl in Commandant Su Wu’s Manor, but does Commandant Su Wu’s Manor have a cultivation method suitable for her to cultivate?”
A red-robed old woman stood up and said fairly,
“I think this girl is the most suitable for cultivating the Spirit Sound Sword Technique. She might have a chance to cultivate the Spirit Sound Sword Technique until she reaches great success. However, the Spirit Sound Sword Technique only needs to be taught by the inner court. Su Quan, you must keep her in the Su Wu Commandant’s Mansion. It may not be beneficial to her cultivation …”
Su Quan insisted, “The Su Martial Commandant’s Manor is willing to pay any price to get the elders to agree to make an exception. The Su Martial Commandant’s Manor will teach the Thousand Orchid Spirit Sound Sword Technique …”
The old man who had just released the spirit cloud and entrusted Qianlan directly to him couldn’t help but bitterly smile when he saw that everyone was arguing in front of the newly promoted disciples.
“If the girl insists on staying in the Su Wu Lieutenant’s Manor to cultivate, it’s not impossible to break the precedent. However, you should first ask the girl why she stays in the Su Wu Lieutenant’s Manor to cultivate.”
