Chapter 140 - 139 We Two Wildly Slay

Chapter 140: Chapter 139 We Two Wildly Slay

One step, another step, and yet another step.

The speed of Yang Fu’s ascent became slower, and the length of his breath adjustments increased.

Behind him, Li Yao had recovered and was advancing past three challenges atop giant waves!

“Next challenge, let’s strike together.”

Yang Fushuo said this.

Yang Fu nodded. He had reached step 744, where only top geniuses, with extremely exquisite spells, had ever reached. He was somewhat overwhelmed, managing to break through only by exerting all his efforts.

Step 745.

A female cultivator of the Gold Element emerged, radiating golden light, holding a long spear.

“Golden Spirit Spear Dance!”

As the spear was wielded, it stirred up a storm of golden weapons. Countless bursts of Golden Spirit Sword Qi emerged, slicing anything they touched into pieces.

“It’s this move! Wasn’t it said that only cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage could practice it!”

This was an upgraded version of the Golden Spirit Sword Skill, a technique learnable only after mastering Object Control Technique to a high degree, killing enemies from a distance as elegantly as the Sword Control Technique.

“Aren’t geniuses known for practicing beyond their levels? Big bro, let’s break her spell together!”

“Okay!”

Yang Fu grabbed the spirit sword transformed by Yang Fushuo, and both shouted simultaneously:

“Liquefied Natural Gas, activate!”

Two ultimate streams of Fire Spiritual Energy transformed into fire dragons and engulfed the Golden Spirit Spear Dance.

Boom!

What’s mightier than a strand of Heavenly Level Innate Spiritual Fire?

Answer: Two strands of Heavenly Level Spiritual Fire.

They directly annihilated the prematurely used Golden Technique.

Yang Fu ascended another step.

The geniuses behind him who had been watching him were in an uproar!

“No way! Why can he use a magic artifact! And one so powerful at that!”

“This is unfair! I demand a rematch!”

“Sect Leader, we need an explanation! I knew there was something off about this boy!”

The cultivators below shouted, attracting the attention of the Douyang cultivators.

He glanced at the sword behind Yang Fu, which indeed possessed spiritual energy and seemed like some kind of spell… but he had never seen it before. However, he was used to every year’s geniuses having their own methods.

“This is a spell of illusion; stop shouting and focus on the competition!”

Then he left.

The other cultivators were instantly rendered speechless.

Meanwhile, Li Yao, who was closest to Yang Fu, saw everything most clearly…

“How come I feel the presence of another’s spiritual energy? It seems like he is communicating with his spirit sword, weird…”

Li Yao still tried his best to ascend, employing the utmost limit of spells of a Qi Cultivation Perfection cultivator. In previous years, those geniuses could not withstand him.

Behind him, the second tier of geniuses also gradually climbed 700 steps.

Half of the challenge cultivators had already fallen in the first 700 steps, ending their challenge.

Those struck down by inner demons, those who couldn’t comprehend the Five Elements Spiritual Method, those whose comprehension failed to solve the puzzles…

Of course, there was always one at the bottom, Yang Fushuo, who had reached step 155.

“Look look! Down again, down again!”

“This guy is talented; he rests half an hour for every step…”

“Why bother sticking around? Just give up already, see how the challenger from the Danai Dynasty just gave up right away.”

From the mirror in the sky, it looked like there were still ten people behind Yang Fu, but those from the Xuan Stone Sect were clearly there just to fill numbers, going down after the first step and meditating to cultivate.

Yang Fushuo wasn’t bothered by this at all; he was fully engaged in controlling his split spiritual body to help Yang Fu break through the geniuses’ spells, having no time to attend to his physical body, as his current divine sense was not enough to control two bodies and duel simultaneously.

Additionally, without part of his physical body… he indeed became much weaker, truly struggling to ascend.

With the help of his brother, Yang Fu much more easily ascended another ten steps!

At step 759, they encountered a cold female cultivator in white clothes, holding two purple thunder orbs.

“Damn! Big Sister!” Yang Genshuo exclaimed.

Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo, the brothers, faced the biggest challenge they had ever encountered!

And above on the heavenly ladder, the watching Golden Core cultivators focused intently on this scene.

Douyang chuckled, “They’ve encountered Murong Sister’s illusion; it seems they will have to stop here…”

“Isn’t Murong Sister the last illusion? The next 40 steps should be the special challenges left by the elders…”

“Yes, Ziyan currently holds the record for the highest level reached on the heavenly ladder; it’s unbelievable that this boy actually made it to this level.”

Murong Ziyuan remained silent, merely watching the slightly youthful version of herself from 30 years ago.

That year, she won the championship in the Immortal Path Competition, and the Sect Leader of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect took her as a disciple, asking her to cultivate here ever since.

She found numerous excuses over the years, wishing to clear all threats for her hometown before coming here, but ultimately… she was summoned.

And with the resources of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect, she quickly achieved the Golden Core Great Dao, but she often gazed longingly in the direction of the Danai Dynasty.

‘I wonder if my hometown is still alright…’

Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo were on high alert!

Yang Fushuo knew this might be their final endpoint.

“Bro, my physical body is coming over.”

“Okay!”

This sword transformed into the likeness of Yang Fushuo and stood beside Yang Fu, shouting together with the Yang Fushuo at the 155th level:

“I’ve merged!”

Then, a tremendous pulling force came from above, and Yang Fu’s body turned into a gust of wind and floated up.

He flew up in front of all the competing cultivators!

“Hey~hello~goodbye.”

“Be careful of the inner demon in this challenge, junior sister, you’ve fallen in love!”

“Pick number three for this question.”

“Shall I give you a hand? Just kidding, haha~”

“Yo~ isn’t this Cultivator Li of the Heavenly Spirit Root! Climbing up fast! But to be honest… it’s not very useful.”

Yang Fushuo chattered continuously as he flew, amiably greeting the climbing cultivators.

Then… he merged with his split self at the 759th level.

He parachuted directly into second place.

Golden Core cultivator: “?”

Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect disciple: “?”

Twelve Dynasties’ prodigy: “?”

“Huh?”

At that moment, everyone’s brains crashed, and they didn’t even know how to articulate their doubts.

Yang Fushuo looked down at these dumbfounded faces and laughed uproariously.

“Is this the challenge of the Nine Heavens Cloud Ladder? We slaughter mega messily!”

Douyang cultivator broke into a heavy sweat.

Because he still remembered what he had said before the competition started…

“It’s going to be bad!”

A second before all the uproar broke out, an elderly voice came from above the sect.

“The Nine Heavens Cloud Ladder is functioning normally, continue the competition…”

The Golden Core cultivators looked solemn and said in unison, “Yes, Sect Leader!”

The other competing disciples felt as uncomfortable as if they were choking on old phlegm.

The disciples of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect exploded!

One of them, who had bet all his fortunes on Yang Fushuo coming in last, fainted.

“Brother! Wake up, Brother!”

This sudden change shocked everyone, and no one knew how Yang Fushuo had done it… The Douyang cultivators had no time to admire Murong Ziyuan’s beauty as they desperately tried to find the reason for all of it.

At that moment, Yang Fushuo had no time to care about other people’s shock as he and Yang Fu faced a tremendous challenge.

A young version of Murong Ziyuan.

At this time, she seemed to be not yet 20 years old…

“So strong!”

“Is this what a cultivator with a Thunder Spirit Root is like…”

“I finally understand why our ancestor said that marrying Murong Ziyuan would bring glory to our family.”

“Huh? The ancestor mentioned this to you?”

Yang Fu turned to look at Yang Fushuo, his face full of shock.

“Cough cough! Don’t sweat the details, let’s strike!”

“Brothers united are breakers of gold!”

“Liquefied Natural Gas!”

“Five Elements River!”

The brothers’ momentum skyrocketed as they challenged Murong Ziyuan together!

At this moment, their hearts held the pride of the Yang Family, vowing not to fall here!

Yang Fushuo shouted, “Don’t underestimate our family bonds!!!”

Boom!

Two blasts of Thunder Light shot the brothers out, clean and neat.

Yang Genshuo: “6!”

After all that effort, they were defeated in an instant.

Their progress also froze at the 759th step.

Eventually, Li Yao also reached 759 after some time, defeated by the phantom of Murong Ziyuan, but ranking behind the brothers.

The first trial of the Immortal Path Competition, the Nine Heavens Cloud Ladder, ended amidst cries of “foul play.”

At this moment, no one cared about the strength of the great dynasties or some outstanding candidates.

The only two questions in everyone’s minds were:

One: Are Five Spirit Root cultivators truly prodigiously talented?

Two: Who will reveal the method behind Yang Fushuo’s actions?

With his head full of black lines, the Douyang cultivator dutifully announced everyone’s results before hastily unveiling the name of the second round of the Immortal Path Competition.

“The second stage is named: ‘Cultivation Hundred Skills.'”
