815: Chapter 216: Ascend to Heaven, Coveting the First Layer_3 815: Chapter 216: Ascend to Heaven, Coveting the First Layer_3 “Your little Changfeng City needs to expand ten thousand times its size first!
At least Stepping Sky Seven-fold underlings should number not less than ten!”
…
No!
No!
Just two more days, only two days!
Phoenix Qi’s wings trembled as he watched Su He at the top level of the Third Layer, silently praying.
Just two more days, and it would be a full year since Su He entered the Fairy Ascension Platform.
But that guy looked like he was about to breach into the Second Layer without further consolidating his cultivation, which pained Phoenix Qi’s heart.
Phoenix Chao Fei glanced at him, rolling her eyes dismissively, so pathetic!
She too looked downward.
Divine God Beasts generally opened the Second Heaven upon entering the Fairy Ascension Platform.
It took her just over three years, less than four, to step onto the Second Layer.
In the realm of Divine God Beasts, that was quite unique.
However, the Water Monarch of the Qilin Clan did even better than her, taking three years and three days.
Though both claimed it was less than four years, the difference between the start and the end of a year is substantial and incomparable.
Among the Four Spirits, the genius Ji Feixue was unknown.
That guy was special; whether he should be considered a Divine God Beast or a Demon Spirit, Phoenix Chao Fei wasn’t sure.
Then there’s the Dragon Turtle Tribe’s White Spirit—Phoenix Chao Fei believed it was a bluff; reportedly White Spirit ascended the Fairy Ascension Platform, advancing one layer a day.
It’s said he reached the First Layer in just seven days, but that sounds like boasting.
At that moment, Su He let out a long chant.
The Void Stay Star emitted a silvery white light, forcefully implanting the Xuanwu Statue within Su He’s body.
As the stars entered, the two merged.
The fourth lodging, Void Stay, opened!
Su He’s figure ascended, as if piercing through a thin film of a bubble, his entire being surged into the Second Layer.
Just one day shy of a year.
The cultivators in the First and Second Layers had a clearer perception of Su He.
The people of the Sealed Emperor’s Palace slightly paled but stopped looking at Su He with strange gazes.
They had been watching for a year; all emotions that could be expressed had been shown.
It was just another Dragon Turtle rising from the Dragon Turtle Tribe, and they were getting used to it.
From the day Su He survived the Heavenly Tribulation and became a Dragon Turtle, everyone knew this day would come.
A Dragon Turtle, unless extraordinarily lazy, was bound to break into the top hundred of the Bai Ze List.
It only seems now that this time has come a bit sooner than expected.
Once accustomed enough through subtle hints, people hardly find it surprising anymore.
Su He having risen to the Second Layer, the adjacent cultivators could no longer withstand the blasting winds of the second layer, their bodies descending into the Third Layer.
This sort of occurrence had happened far too many times; some ascended while others descended.
Reaching a certain layer on the Fairy Ascension Platform is related to one’s Tao Cultivation but isn’t decisive in defining everything.
Here, a Stepping Sky Seven-fold could stay on the fourth or fifth layers, while some Stepping Sky Five and Six-fold manage to reach the Third Layer, not being too rare.
Su He looked up at Phoenix Qi on the First Layer and chuckled, “Uncle Qi, I’ve reached the second layer!”
Phoenix Qi was sprawled on the cloud platform, appearing in a critical moment of cultivation, unable to respond.
But it wasn’t entirely an act.
Phoenix Qi was of average talent, and now only ten people remained on the First Layer.
He was dangerously close to the edge.
As cultivators gradually entered the Fairy Ascension Platform, enhancing the power of the Gang Wind, he likely had to drop to the Second Layer, joining Su He.
Phoenixes must save face!
Su He burst into laughter, in a very good mood.
It was always the way of Divine God Beasts, the older generations teased the younger ones, and when the opportunity arose, the young ones also sought to jest with their seniors.
A bird several hundred thousand years old surely knew how to take a joke.
Su He, smiling, looked up at Emperor Luan: “Your Majesty, care to bet again on how long it will take me to reach the First Layer?”
Emperor Luan opened his eyes and chuckled, “Even before the Fairy Ascension Platform was open, I declared that Su He must reach the First Layer this time.
Don’t let everyone down!”
Su He laughed: “With Your Majesty’s trust, how can I possibly fail to meet expectations?”
Still smiling, Su He opened his mouth and chanted, “Open!”
The inside of Su He’s body boomed, and the fifth lodging, Crux, abruptly opened!
The Xuanwu Seven Constellations never operated independently; they interlinked and supported each other.
Opening four lodgings in one year had already surpassed half; the remaining three would now be much easier.
Barely pausing after opening the Void Stay, the accumulated power in his body directly ignited the star of Crux, instantly embedding it within himself, merging it completely with his body.
At this moment, most of the Black Tortoise had already merged into Su He’s body, his Xuanwu Qi even surpassing the Dragon Turtle Qi—it wasn’t that his cultivation in Xuanwu had surpassed the original Dragon Turtle.
It was simply that Xuanwu, being in the midst of cultivation, had fully revealed itself.
Above him, Emperor Luan looked down at Su He, pondering for a long time before finally speaking, “Friend Su He, do you realize that with your current cultivation, it’s not just the Sealed Emperor’s Palace that will act against you, but also the old ancestors in the Star Sea might not rest easy, and may even take personal action?”
The ancestors were beings who had lived for countless years, long beyond caring about face; backstabbing, ambushing, kidnapping the younger generation—they would resort to any means necessary if needed!
Only the recent perpetrator fears the long defense.
Can the Dragon Turtle Tribe block other ancestors, not to mention the Great Ancestor, the Second Ancestor, and the Third Ancestor?
These three are truly on par with Thai Zu!
Supported by white clouds beneath him, Su He continued ascending, with Gang Wind and Yuan Qi now forming a visibly swirling vortex on the Turtle Shell.
Even outsiders could see the vortex of Gang Wind around Su He.
Such speed was indeed remarkable!
In a flash, two stars were opened, drawing power too rapidly.
Su He chuckled, “How can I, fearing the enemy, cripple myself?”
If necessary, he could just linger by Thai Zu for a while.
If a day came when he could suppress the Sealed Emperor Great Ancestor with a flick of his hand, who then could dare to challenge him?
The enemy had evolved from the likes of Feng Yin and Feng Rong at the start, to now requiring the personal intervention of the Sealed Emperor Old Ancestor—didn’t this prove he was on the right path?
If even the Sealed Emperor Great Ancestor feared him, how else could he become the strongest being ever mentioned by Baiyin?
“Good!
Friend, please ascend!” Emperor Luan spread his hands in a welcoming gesture, his eyes sparkling with keen interest.
Stepping away from his own cultivation, he was eager to see how this turtle would directly ascend to the First Layer for the first time!
