Translator: 549690339
Qin Changqing paused for a moment, then continued to climb upwards. “He really just went up so easily?” As Jian Yiyi reached the 8,000th level, she saw Qin Changqing continuing to climb up.
“Hmph! It’s just the 8,000th level. The higher the Tianti Road, the more difficult it becomes. Even though he has some talent, he’s just being reckless now,” Nangong Aotian said disdainfully. “Let’s see how he manages to go up. In the end, it all boils down to one’s strength.’
He was not in a hurry. It was better to have Qin Changqing scout the way for him.
“You really are arrogant and conceited,” Jian Yiyi sneered. “He’s only at Tier 6 Golden Elixir, but he’s already made it this far. If it were you, do you think you could have done it?”
Nangong Aotian’s face turned an ugly shade of green: “Everyone has their own fate. He just happened to gain the approval of the Tianti Road!”
“Then why don’t you try gaining its approval as well?” Jian Yiyi said mercilessly, “You can’t do it yourself, but you’re unwilling to admit the talents of others. With such an attitude, you’re never going to achieve much in your life.
“Jian Yiyi, don’t push me too far!”
Nangong Aotian sprang to his feet. “I’m not fighting you because it’s not time yet, but if you insist, let’s start our battle now!”
He had reached the Four-striped cultivation level and possessed an Emperor-level Skill. He was not afraid of Jian Yiyi, the genius of Wanjian Pavilion.
“Not interested. You’re too weak, ” Jian Yiyi walked away without even looking at Nangong Aotian.
“You!”
Nangong Aotian couldn’t help but want to strike, but then he saw several people coming up to the 8,000th level.
Lin Ziyan, Nangong Xue, and Si Hongyue showed their faces one after another, looking at him.
Nangong Aotian hesitated for a moment and held back. If he were to make a move now, even if he defeated Jian Yiyi, he would probably suffer heavy damage, and these women would take advantage of it. His opportunity on Tianti Road would come to an end.
“After reaching the 8,000th level, my Emperor Divine Skill has improved significantly. If I can perfect it on Tianti Road, who will be my match?”
“Whew. There’s no need to rush. Father said that my opportunity lies on the 9,000th level. Perhaps I can break through to the Five-striped cultivation level and then step into the Nascent Soul Realm in one fell swoop. By that time, even my big brother and second brother won’t stand a chance against me!”
After contemplating, Nangong Aotian sat back down.
Nangong Xue glanced at him without comment. She knew a bit about the three of them and found a place to rest as well.
In the following day, more people arrived on the 8,000th level one after another, but the number had dwindled significantly.
Including the white-robed girl, there were less than fifty left.
On the Lingxiao Sect’s side, Qin Lingshuang and Mu Ling were stopped at the 7,000th level. Their cultivation was not high enough to continue, and Bai Liu also stopped at the 7,000th level.
“Eh, which sect does that girl belong to?”
Outside the Tianti Road, an elder stared at the girl in white and expressed his confusion.
Everyone then realized that they had overlooked the existence of the white-robed girl, as everyone had been focused on Qin Changqing. “She doesn’t seem to belong to any sect in Tianchuan State.”
“To step onto the 8,000th level, this level of talent is quite rare.”
“I just don’t know how high her cultivation is, as she hasn’t shown anything particularly astonishing yet.”
“Fearing people like her, who when unleashed, will astonish everyone.”
Dark horses appeared in each edition of the Tianti Road, but loose cultivators like her were relatively rare. Although it was possible that she came from outside of Tianchuan State, there was no need for her to force her way to Tianti Road, as one existed in each area.
MO Ziya stroked his beard and gazed at the white-robed girl, furrowing his brows slightly.
He had a feeling that there was something special about her but couldn’t quite put his finger on it. He could only keep an eye on her and continue to observe Qin Changqing’s situation.
MO Ziya was now extremely eager to know whether Qin Changqing was really the one possessing the Ziwei Fate. If so, he would surely reach the top.
Two more days passed, and those resting on the 8,000th level also began to set off and continue their climb up.”Eh, that kid’s stopped,” Wei Wuxian suddenly said.
Everyone looked, only to see Qin Changqing stopped at the position of the 8,999th step. At the stage from 8,000 to 9,000 steps, Qin Changqing’s speed wasn’t fast, always walking and stopping intermittently. Now at the last step before 9,000, he finally paused for a long time without moving.
“Can’t he go on?”
“Well, for someone at the Tier 6 Golden Elixir stage to reach the 9,000th step, it’s already enough to shock the entire North Region.”
“What a pity, what a pity. If only he had another thirty years…”
Qin Changqing’s stop made the people outside watching the battle feel a bit of regret.
In their eyes, witnessing Qin Changqing continuing to ascend was far more interesting than watching those genius talents on the Outstanding Talents List. A dark horse is always interesting due to its element of surprise, isn’t it?
“He’s finally stopped.’
Above the 8,000th step, Nangong Aotian felt relieved when he saw Qin Changqing trapped.
Honestlv. if Qin Changaing continued to advance. he would be afraid.
What would someone who managed to reach this step with a Tier 6 Golden Elixir stage achieve in the future?
As a mortal enemy of Dayan, having such a person exist would make it hard for him to sleep and eat in peace.
After all, he was planning on becoming the Emperor of the Dayan Dynasty.
“Why not kill him here first?”
Nangong Aotian calmly proceeded upwards.
After about a day, the original first group of contestants also slowly approached the 9,000th step.
With the remaining participants at the Four-striped level, their speed in climbing the Tianti Road was even faster than Qin Changqing’s. Nangong Aotian caught the eye of another contestant from the Dayan Dynasty, and the two rushed towards Qin Changqing at the same time.
Nangong Xue’s face changed. She quickly called out to Qingning as they both rushed over to intercept them, but their original positions were somewhat farther away from Qin Changqing, and there was no way they could catch up in time.
“Qin Changqing, die!”
Excitement flashed in Nangong Aotian’s eyes as he clenched his fist, golden spiritual qi condensing around his fist. The Emperor Divine Skill manifested as a flood dragon, wrapping around him like a descent of a war god, a rainbow-like powerful aura!
Roar!!!
The flood dragon roared towards the sky.
Emperor Divine Skill: Rising Dragon Break!
Unexpectedly, a sword light suddenly slashed down, cutting the flood dragon’s head directly in half!
Whoosh!
Feeling the powerful force in the sword qi, Nangong Aotian’s face turned pale as he quickly withdrew and stepped back, stomping the ground with his feet.
“Jian Yiyi, what are you doing!?”
On Tianti Road, Jian Yiyi stood beside Qin Changqing, raising her sword, and said with a snort as her left thumb brushed her delicate nose, “This lady is upholding justice. You scoundrel, don’t even think about taking another step forward!”
Nangong Aotian didn’t expect that his surefire strike would be intercepted by Jian Yiyi.
If it were Qingning and Nangong Xue, that would be one thing, but who was Jian Yiyi to him? As a Wanjian Pavilion disciple, what did the matters of the Lingxiao Sect have to do with her?
Tianti Road was originally a place for competition over opportunities. Everyone coming here aimed at either reaching the top or competing with others. Even among the disciples of the same sect, competition would be inevitable in the end.
Nangong Aotian couldn’t understand why Jian Yiyi would step in.
“Jian Yiyi, don’t be so high and mighty. Since we are all on the Tianti Road, we come for the immortal opportunities. You’ve seen his situation as well. If we don’t defeat him now, are we supposed to let a Tier 6 Golden Elixir person walk ahead of all of us? By that time, where will you put the face of Wanjian Pavilion?”
Jian Yiyi disdainfully replied, “The face of my Wanjian Pavilion is earned by ourselves and never by using such sneaky means. If you can’t stand Qin Changqing, you’re welcome to challenge him directly. This lady will never stop you..”
