Chapter 1772: Ye Lingshan

The violet-robed Ye Lingshan was walking gracefully and elegantly . As soon as she appeared, she caused a ruckus .

“Ye Lingshan has come! Is she challenging the Venerate Platform?”

“With her power, there should be no need for her to do so . Independent cultivators would only come here if they didn’t have any way to temper their souls or willpower . ”

“Perhaps there’s some other reason why she came . Perhaps…”

Ye Lingshan stepped onto the first step . The Venerate Platform buzzed, and a vast spiritual pressure crashed down on her . Quite a few other disciples in the midst of climbing it were startled and rolled off .

This Venerate Platform would unleash greater power depending on the strength of the person being tested . A few of them were caught up in Ye Lingshan’s test .

“Amazing! She’s reached the fifth step without changing expression!” exclaimed Qingqing .

For her, just reaching the fourth step had been difficult . The only reason she had managed to persevere to the fifth step was because of sheer willpower .

As for the fifth step, upon reaching there, her soul received a powerful impact, and it took over a month to recover from it . However, that accomplishment still filled her with pride .

The majority of experts were unable to get to the fifth step . However, it seemed Ye Lingshan was still finding it easy .

“In truth, with your power, reaching the sixth step should be no problem . It’s just that you don’t know the technique,” said Long Chen .

“The technique?”

“Yes . This Venerate Platform’s energy flows from top to bottom . The higher you climb, the greater the pressure . Before this, I saw everyone was climbing in a way that would take more energy and be more difficult . They were like fish trying to swim against the current . The more they resisted, the greater the pressure . Rather than that, allow a portion of the Venerate Platform’s energy to enter your spiritual world . It will invade you, but its power will be limited . On the other hand, if you go all-out resisting it, it will be like you’re trying to move forward in a storm . The larger your umbrella, the greater the resistance . But those who aren’t afraid of getting wet will be able to go further . Do you understand?”

Qingqing came to a sudden realization . “No wonder Ye Lingshan’s spiritual fluctuations aren’t very intense yet . She’s not using her full power to resist . ”

At this moment, Ye Lingshan had reached the seventh step . At this moment, the Venerate Platform began to shake, and the air around it started to twist . Everything became illusory .

People felt faint . It was like the world had been flipped . They no longer knew which direction was which .

“How terrifying . We’re so far, but we’re still affected . Then isn’t Ye Lingshan under even more terrifying pressure?”

Startled cries rang out . Ye Lingshan was slightly pale . Now it was starting to get hard for her .

“Only the first and second commanders have managed to reach the seventh step on our side,” whispered Qingqing .

“On the seventh step, the energy has started to change . It’s no longer purely flowing from the top but attacking from all angles . There’s no trick by this point . You can only charge through with your power . ” Long Chen nodded .

“The eighth step!”

Startled cries rang out just as they were talking . Although Ye Lingshan had slowed down, she still managed to reach the eighth step .

When she reached the eighth step, booming echoed through the air . Black clouds gathered above the Venerate Platform, and the might of the Heavenly Daos crashed down, shaking people’s souls . Some people were no longer able to stand . They collapsed .

This was heavenly might targeted toward the soul . People couldn’t resist .

Qingqing’s body was quivering . This kind of heavenly might scared her soul . She unconsciously got closer to Long Chen .

When she got closer to Long Chen, she was startled to find that this heavenly might seemed to have vanished . When she looked at him, she saw that Long Chen was looking at the black clouds with a mocking smile .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, are you not afraid of the heavenly might?” Qingqing couldn’t believe her eyes .

“Heavenly might? No, this isn’t heavenly might . It is just an imitation . It’s only used to frighten others and make them feel like climbing the ninth step would make them face the wrath of the heavens . It makes them feel like they will die to the Heavenly Daos, but it’s just a trick . ” Long Chen shook his head .

Let alone fake heavenly might, he had experienced true heavenly might many times . He wasn’t afraid of it .

With his years of going against the heavens, he was able to distinctly tell that this one was fake . However, others didn’t have that ability .

To Ye Lingshan, climbing to the ninth step would mean enduring that heavenly might, which would mean going against the Heavenly Daos .
