Chapter 176 Dragon Horse Is Impatient

The dragon horse was eager to move.

With a leap, it stepped onto the first step of the Ascent Platform.

Soon, without any unnecessary fanfare, it crossed ten steps in one stride.

It arrived directly at the tenth step.

"Hiss! Crossing ten steps in one stride?"

"This momentum is a bit too fierce, isn't it?"

"Divine beasts are indeed blessed, born with the favor of fortune."

"Not fortune, but immortal affinity."

The crowd discussed, and even the Taiyi Holy Son spoke up, simply correcting someone's choice of words.

"Oh, right, right, it's immortal affinity."

The person didn't dare to say much, only nodding in agreement.

Just at that moment.

The dragon horse had already reached the twentieth step.

Yes, the twentieth step.

It was fast and had great momentum.

It directly surpassed the achievements of Li Rulong and the others.

This was powerful, making people envious.

The dragon horse became even more assertive, leaping up another ten steps.

It arrived directly at the thirtieth step.

In an instant, wind and thunder filled the air, immortal light shone brightly, and auspicious light scattered across the ground. Around it were dragon-shaped horse shadows, making it look extraordinary.

Its four hooves shattered the void, but this time it didn't continue to cross ten steps.

Instead, it crossed six steps.

Thirty-sixth step!

Conforming to the number of Tiangang (thirty-six heavenly spirits).

"Roar!"

The dragon horse roared, emitting a dragon's cry. Its qi and blood surged, covering everything, powerful and invincible.

It wanted to take another step forward.

But it seemed to be bearing an unspeakable pressure.

"I am the Dragon Horse Supreme!"

Finally, the dragon horse shouted, forcing itself up another four levels. Eventually, its figure disappeared and reappeared in front of the Ascent Platform.

It passed the level, forty steps!

This was the limit.

Its immortal affinity was extremely strong, breaking the record with forty steps.

And its name was left on the fortieth step of the Ascent Platform.

[Dragon Horse Supreme]

"Hiss! Forty steps!"

"I didn't expect this dragon horse to actually reach the fortieth step."

"Before, Li Rulong and the others only reached the nineteenth step, and the highest record was only twenty steps. As expected, divine beasts are divine beasts."

"I wonder what kind of result that Qilin will achieve."

The crowd discussed, shocked.

Gu Aotian, seeing this scene, also became restless.

Lu Changsheng felt it and nodded, saying, "Go ahead."

With the dragon horse reaching forty steps, he was also curious to see what level Gu Aotian could reach.

"Roar!"

Gu Aotian roared to the sky, Qilin divine light filling the air. With a leap of thirty steps, he directly arrived at the thirtieth step, once again shocking everyone.

This momentum was stronger than the dragon horse's.

The eyes of the crowd were filled with envy and fervent longing. Many people fantasized about having such a mount, but they were also aware of their own limitations.

Gu Aotian was very strong. He not only crossed thirty steps in one breath, but then directly crossed to the fortieth step.

But at this moment, Gu Aotian was also enduring terrible pressure. Around him, the void collapsed, and divine mountains emerged, as if he was carrying an ancient city on his back.

"I am the Qilin Ancient Emperor!"

Gu Aotian also roared. In the eyes of others, it was domineering and blood-boiling, but in Lu Changsheng's eyes, it was a bit chuuni (delusional).

At this moment, Lu Changsheng felt a little guilty.

He felt that he had misled him a bit too much.

However, just at this moment, Gu Aotian forced himself up another three steps.

Every time he stepped up a level, the void would tremble. When he reached the forty-third step, golden lotuses appeared, blooming one after another. This was an extraordinary phenomenon, looking extremely terrifying.

It also demonstrated Gu Aotian's strong immortal affinity.

But in the end, Gu Aotian didn't go any further.

He stopped at the forty-third step.

"Forty-three steps! Another new record."

"Although it's only three steps more than the dragon horse, those three steps are worlds apart. The Qilin is indeed a Qilin."

"Yes, the Qilin is indeed a Qilin. Being ranked in the top five of the Divine Beast List naturally means it has extraordinary qualities."

"Forty-three steps, we can't even climb three steps. I didn't expect the Qilin to reach forty-three. Alas, sometimes everything is predetermined."

The crowd discussed, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

But thinking that this was, after all, a divine beast of heaven and earth, everyone didn't have much to say.

Gu Aotian once again broke the Ascent Platform record with a score of forty-three steps.

This brought about sighs from countless older generation cultivators.

"Big Brother, now it's your turn."

Gu Aotian appeared in front, his eyes filled with pride. Forty-three steps was considered good.

Watch me?

Watch me do what?

Lu Changsheng had no interest in this Ascent Platform.

To be honest, anyone could guess it.

When he went up, there would definitely be continuous phenomena, terrifying and unparalleled.

Not to mention ninety-nine eighty-one steps.

Even nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, he could walk up.

But looking at Gu Aotian's eyes, it seemed that this guy was a little proud of himself.

"Senior Brother Lu's two mounts have both set new records. Senior Brother Lu, why don't you give it a try? We're all going to witness a miracle."

"Yes, Senior Brother Lu, we can't wait."

"I bet Senior Brother Lu will reach at least sixty steps!"

"Sixty steps? I bet at least seventy!"

"I bet he will definitely pass seventy-two."

"Hehe, you're too superficial. I bet Senior Brother Lu will reach at least ninety-nine eighty-one steps."

Countless cultivators whispered, they fully believed that Lu Changsheng could break this record.

But some voices slowly sounded.

"Although Junior Nephew Lu is indeed extraordinary, this is, after all, the Ascent Platform, a celestial treasure used to measure geniuses. Seventy-two is actually the limit."

Someone spoke, not trying to be sarcastic, but stating the facts.

After all, how many eras, how many epochs have passed since ancient times? It's been more than ten thousand years, countless years.

Over so many eras, countless outstanding talents and geniuses have emerged.

But the ultimate record was only thirty-six.

Today, the dragon horse and the Qilin are both divine beasts of heaven and earth, so breaking through to forty and forty-three is not an exaggeration.

But to say they would break through sixty? Seventy? Or even seventy-two, seems a bit exaggerated.

"Perhaps it's really possible to reach seventy-two."

However, there were different voices, believing that it was not impossible for Lu Changsheng to reach seventy-two steps.

Hearing everyone's discussion.

Lu Changsheng didn't feel anything.

He also thought it was pretty good.

He could pass the level just by walking, at least without facing any danger.

At that moment.

Lu Changsheng didn't waste any time and came directly to the Ascent Platform.

Step!

Lu Changsheng stepped onto the first step.

He didn't jump dozens of levels like Gu Aotian and the dragon horse, but walked up one step at a time.

"Huh, why doesn't Senior Brother Lu cross directly, but instead walks slowly?"

"Yes, why doesn't Senior Brother Lu directly cross to the fortieth level?"

Someone was curious and couldn't help but ask.

"What do you know! Senior Brother Lu is teaching us that we must be down-to-earth. Even if we have strength, we must not be impatient or arrogant. We must take it one step at a time to go further."

The Taiyi Holy Son said unhappily.

"Oh, I understand!"

"So that's how it is, I understand."

"Living until old, learning until old, I've learned again."

The cultivators nodded.

Just like that.

In the blink of an eye.

Lu Changsheng had already walked to the forty-third step.

However, what made everyone a little curious was.

Why... are there no phenomena?

Even Lu Changsheng couldn't help but frown?

Where did the phenomena go?

Taking a few more steps up.

There was no pressure at all, just like walking on ordinary steps.

It was even a little easier.

Forty-seven!

Fifty!

Fifty-five!

Sixty!

Sixty-six!

Seventy-two!

When Lu Changsheng reached the seventy-second step.

The phenomena still didn't appear.

Furthermore, there was no pressure or anything.

Walking to the seventy-second step didn't surprise Lu Changsheng.

But the fact that the phenomena didn't appear made Lu Changsheng particularly surprised.

"Could it be that the phenomena will only appear when I reach the eighty-first step?"

Lu Changsheng wondered in his heart.

At that moment, he didn't waste any time.

He slightly sped up his pace.

Seventy-five.

Seventy-eight.

Eighty!

Eighty-one!

After reaching the top.

The crowd suddenly erupted in an uproar.

But the entire Ascent Platform seemed very calm.

Apart from the inherent celestial brilliance, there were no special effects.

This was unreasonable.

Why wasn't there any reaction?

On top of the steps.

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but fall into thought.

This was completely unreasonable.

According to the usual formula, just stepping on the first step would require a few hundred words of filler, right?

How could I have reached the top without a single word of filler appearing?

Hiss!

In an instant, Lu Changsheng thought of a possibility.

Damn it!

Could it be that someone hired a hitman?
