Amongst the Phoenix Clan, Phoenix Chao Fei had the most authority to speak on Feng Qi’s behalf.
Back then, these two birds had the closest relationship within the entire Phoenix Clan.
Linked by blood and close in age, Feng Qi used to be Phoenix Chao Fei’s absolute sidekick.
This was also why, with the opening of the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky, other members of the Phoenix Clan did not come—only Feng Qi was sent.
With Yun Li as a guarantor, the relationship between Phoenix Chao Fei and the Phoenix Clan could be greatly eased, and there was no one better than Feng Qi to bridge that gap.
Gu Luo looked at Feng Qi out of the corner of his eye and chuckled, “The first time, the seventh year into the second layer.”
They might both be at Opening Two-fold Heaven, but not all Opening Two-fold Heavens are the same; ascending the Fairy Ascension Platform is more about measuring talent!
Atop Ancient Locust’s head, a small grass swayed, “You’re a bit inferior compared to your clan brother.
Before the Fairy Ascension Platform closed, you barely made it to the second layer.”
Feng Qi’s face was a picture of astonishment—he looked incredulously at the three Divine God Beasts.
In front of so many outsiders, you…
are you dismantling my stage?
The beasts all laughed heartily, as clouds formed under them, lifting them into the sky.
“What layer does Mr.
Yuan think Friend Su He can reach?” Emperor Luan asked, as white clouds condensed under him and lifted him up as well.
These white clouds were not condensed by the cultivators and Divine God Beasts themselves, but were connected to the thick clouds below, cut from those white clouds.
The Crown Prince’s Tutor followed behind Emperor Luan, slightly bowed and smiling, “The third layer, I suppose!”
“Oh?” Emperor Luan inquired with a smile, “Why?
It’s rare to see a Divine God Beast with such a fast cultivation speed and yet with such a solid foundation.”
The Crown Prince’s Tutor looked somewhat serious, “Precisely because he has cultivated too fast!”
Other Divine God Beasts such as Phoenix Clan’s Feng Qi and Gu Luo, who were also part of the Four Spirits, only stepped onto the Fairy Ascension Platform for the first time when they were at Opening Two-fold Heaven, but their level and Su He’s were incomparable.
When they reached Opening Two-fold Heaven, the youngest were at least six to seven thousand years old; even if their Boundary Status was insufficient, their knowledge and insight were ample.
While Su He has had too short a time in cultivation—merely thirty years.
Even if all that time was spent on cultivation and battle, it wouldn’t be enough; when would there be time to absorb so much knowledge?
This Turtle still lacks even basic cultivation knowledge!
And the Fairy Ascension Platform doesn’t put much emphasis on Tao Cultivation and combat power; those are just the basics.
It considers knowledge reserves and perception even more!
With insufficient knowledge reserves, one can’t see the value in things that are presented right before their eyes.
Emperor Luan gave a smile but made no comment, “What does The Duke of An think?”
Feng Nan, whose eyes were wrapped in a delicate ribbon, sealing his vision, straightened up slightly upon hearing Emperor Luan’s question, and replied with cupped hands, “The second layer, and quickly!”
Emperor Luan chuckled, “My sister presents a case?”
The Duke of An was not Emperor Luan’s sister, but they were comrades who had rebelled together over a hundred thousand years ago, so it was quite normal to call each other brother and sister.
The Duke of An smiled, “Your Majesty, it’s intuition!”
He was Yun Li’s son, and his father’s talents he knew well.
There was no way Yun Li’s son’s talent could be low.
Didn’t the luck and talent he displayed during this period prove everything?
Emperor Luan burst into laughter.
A woman’s intuition sometimes trumps all reasoning!
“And what does Your Majesty think?” Feng Nan asked with a smile in return.
“I?” said Emperor Luan with a laugh, “The Emperor bets he can reach the first layer!
It’s intuition as well!”
From the top down, the Fairy Ascension Platform has seven layers, the numbering seems reversed, but it has been counted this way since ancient times.
The higher the ascension, the better the Yuan Qi.
Especially the first time, there is an extra blessing.
Feng Nan laughed, “A man’s intuition is not accurate!”
How could intuition surpass common sense?
To ascend to the first layer, one must at least be at Stepping Sky Seven-fold, or a Divine God Beast of Opening Heaven Five-fold.
There never was anyone beyond the scope… but not necessarily.
Wasn’t there a rumor that Ji Feixue surpassed these limits, reaching the top without ever having achieved Stepping Sky Seven-fold?
But that was an event from long ago, with no records in the Seal Emperor’s Palace.
As the three of them spoke, the white clouds beneath their feet carried them straight up to the Nine Heavens.
The mountain was the Seventh Layer—if one couldn’t slice through the white clouds, they could only cultivate on this layer.
At this moment, patches of white clouds began to ascend continuously from the foot of the mountain.
Su He and the others he knew didn’t linger.
In an instant, they flew past the Sixth Layer, leaped over the Fifth Layer, and continued upward.
But not everyone could fly.
Next to Su He, a Cultivator at Stepping Sky Four-fold mounted a cloud and took off, but as soon as he ascended, he fell along with the cloud, as if something had smashed him down.
Gang Wind…
This was the Gang Wind that Mi Man mentioned!
Yet Su He felt no wind and saw no sign of others being blown by it.
As this person fell, shortly thereafter, groups of people began to fall from the sky.
Some fell shortly after takeoff, others almost reached the Sixth Layer before falling.
The border between the Seventh Layer and the Sixth Layer seemed to be a dividing line, holding back seventy percent of the Cultivators.
Just as Su He was about to try connecting with the white clouds beneath his feet and condense his own cloud to begin soaring, he saw two figures fighting their way toward him from a distance.
The Fairy Ascension Platform had only just appeared, and without the capabilities of Mystery Huang World and Sealed Emperor’s Palace, the other Cultivators couldn’t predict its location.
They were only now rushing this way after seeing the rosy light.
Most of the Cultivators had not yet arrived, and they were still arriving one after another.
The two combatants were a pair of monkey demons!
They squabbled and cursed as they fought their way into the Fairy Ascension Platform and then… they disappeared from sight!
Fighting was prohibited on the Fairy Ascension Platform.
Even Mystery Huang World and the Seal Emperor’s Palace adhered to this iron rule, so others had even less room to challenge it.
A Cultivator nearby shook his head with a sigh, “Thrown out after a single fight, banned from the Fairy Ascension Platform for ten visits to the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky!
Why bother?”
With the Mystery Yellow Order being so difficult to obtain, and the entrance to the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky so hard to enter, why bother with a fight over pride here?
Su He withdrew his gaze, no longer looking for the monkeys.
His consciousness sank into the clouds below, and a patch of white cloud naturally peeled away from the mass, taking the place of the undulating waves beneath Su He.
Trying to control it, it was like manipulating mist, effortless.
Su He looked up at the others ascending higher and higher, their forms indistinct in the sunlight.
He too gently maneuvered his white cloud to rise.
As he ascended, everyone turned their gaze toward him.
Every time a Four Spirits Divine God Beast first entered the Fairy Ascension Platform, it was an excellent learning opportunity for the others!
They could try to mimic the Greater Powers, an impossible feat, but the Four Spirits Divine God Beasts entering the Fairy Ascension Platform for the first time were different.
They could at least ascend to the Third or Fourth Layer.
But it was impossible for them to master the Ascension Tips immediately on their first attempt.
They too needed to try time and again, and others could learn much from their repeated attempts.
As Su He’s white cloud ascended, he suddenly looked up.
In the moment the cloud left the ground, a hurricane blew above in the sky, thundering down onto Su He, as if a waterfall were pushing him downward.
The Gang Wind here did not blow on everyone at once, but instead targeted only one person at a time, as if it were an illusion, only felt by the individual it struck.
No wonder only Cultivators were seen falling, not a sign of the wind itself.
