324: summit

Lin Feng nodded to himself upon hearing this. He had long heard of Li Mubai and Murong Xue’s great names, knowing that they were both true Cultivator Geniuses. Now it seemed, their reputations were well-deserved.

Just then, Li Mubai had already climbed to the top of the Sky Ladder. He stood atop the Sky Ladder, a brilliant smile on his face. He turned to face the crowd and shouted, “I, Li Mubai, have finally climbed to the top of the Sky Ladder! Once I join the Divine Star Palace and acquire resources, I will surely surpass all Cultivators in the Sea of Stars! Ha!”

His voice echoed through the square, startling all the Cultivators present. They looked at Li Mubai standing at the top of the Sky Ladder, their eyes filled with envy and admiration.

And Murong Xue, after a while, also successfully climbed to the top of the Sky Ladder. She stood beside Li Mubai, a faint smile on her face. Although she did not speak, her eyes revealed a sense of confidence and composure.

The news of the Two Genius Cultivators successfully climbing the Sky Ladder quickly spread throughout the square. Those Cultivators who had not passed the trial all showed expressions of envy and admiration. They knew that although they could not be as outstanding as Li Mubai and Murong Xue, they could still learn something from them.

Lin Feng watched Li Mubai and Murong Xue successfully climb the Sky Ladder, feeling that it was his turn to ascend the Sky Ladder. As soon as Lin Feng’s foot stepped onto the Sky Ladder, a powerful gravitational force suddenly struck, causing his steps to pause slightly. But Lin Feng was an Nascent Soul Ancestors, with powerful strength, so this little gravity was just a piece of cake for him.

He took a deep breath, stabilized his body, and then continued to climb. As he climbed higher and higher, the gravity on his body became stronger and stronger. But Lin Feng didn’t care in the slightest; his steps were steady, and his speed did not decrease, as if the gravity did not exist for him at all.

The surrounding Cultivators looked at Lin Feng climbing the Sky Ladder so easily, all showing surprised expressions. They knew that this Sky Ladder trial required extremely high perseverance and talent from Cultivators, and only a handful of people could climb to the top. But now it seemed, this seemingly young Cultivator possessed considerable strength and talent.

Lin Feng ignored the surrounding gazes and discussions; he concentrated on climbing the Sky Ladder. Every time he climbed to a new height, he would feel a new power surging within his body, making his strength even stronger.

Finally, when Lin Feng climbed to over nine thousand steps, he stopped. It wasn’t that he couldn’t continue to climb, but rather he wanted to feel the effect of this gravity on himself. He closed his eyes, quietly adjusting his breathing and state, bringing his body and mind to their optimal condition.

After a while, Lin Feng reopened his eyes, a firm light flashing within them. Then, he once again stepped forward, heading towards the top of the Sky Ladder. This time, his speed was faster, his steps steadier, as if the gravity no longer had any effect on him.

Finally, with Lin Feng’s unremitting efforts, he successfully climbed to the top of the Sky Ladder. He stood atop the Sky Ladder, feeling the rich Spiritual Qi and powerful strength, a surge of heroic ambition welling up in his heart.

He turned to face the crowd and shouted, “I, Lin Feng, have also successfully climbed to the top of the Sky Ladder! I want to join the Divine Star Palace and become a true Disciple, bringing glory to the Divine Star Palace!”

His voice echoed through the square, startling all the Cultivators present. They looked at Lin Feng standing at the top of the Sky Ladder, their eyes filled with envy and admiration.

For Lin Feng, an unknown Cultivator, to be able to reach the peak, they were shocked. Many Cultivators below discussed animatedly, knowing that the previous two who managed to reach the top were both renowned in the Sea of Stars, while they had never heard of Lin Feng. But now it seemed, this seemingly young Cultivator possessed considerable strength and talent.

Lin Feng did not pay attention to the discussions and gazes of the crowd. He turned to look at the Two Elders of the Divine Star Palace. They smiled and nodded, their eyes revealing a light of appreciation and recognition.

Elder Yun Youzi spoke, “Lin Feng, you performed very well. You are the third person in our trial to successfully climb to the top of the Sky Ladder. You are qualified to become a Disciple of our Divine Star Palace.”

Lin Feng was thrilled to hear this. He knew that the purpose of his trip had finally been achieved. He bowed and said, “Thank you, Elder, for your recognition. I will definitely Cultivate diligently and bring glory to the Divine Star Palace.”

Elder Yun Yifeng also smiled and nodded, saying, “Good, Lin Feng, please wait aside for now. After everyone has completed the trial, you will proceed to the second trial. Elder Yun Youzi and I will personally lead you to the Divine Star Palace.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng stepped aside. He looked at the Cultivators who were still climbing the Sky Ladder, pondering to himself. Although this Sky Ladder trial was only the first stage, it had already filtered out many true Genius Cultivators.

Time passed by, minute by minute. Among the Cultivators still climbing the Sky Ladder, some successfully reached the top, while others gave up midway. But regardless, they had all done their best.

Finally, with everyone’s efforts, the first stage of the trial ended. Those Cultivators who successfully climbed to the top of the Sky Ladder were all led by the Two Elders towards the Divine Star Palace, preparing for the next trial.

Lin Feng also followed behind them, his heart filled with anticipation.

Entering the Divine Star Palace, he could directly obtain the Cultivation resources there, which was undoubtedly a huge opportunity for him. He possessed extraordinary strength and talent, but had always lacked sufficient Cultivation resources. Now, with the support of the Divine Star Palace, especially its past Cultivation Techniques, he would surely be able to obtain the resources he needed.

On the way to the Divine Star Palace, Lin Feng looked at the surrounding scenery, a surge of heroic ambition welling up in his heart. He knew that he was about to step into a whole new world, a world full of opportunities and challenges. He looked forward to meeting more Genius Cultivators there, exchanging pointers with them, and jointly improving his strength.

At the same time, Lin Feng also knew that joining the Divine Star Palace did not mean he could rest easy. On the path of Cultivation, only through continuous effort and perseverance could one go further. He was ready to face future challenges, using his strength and wisdom to conquer all difficulties.

Finally, amidst everyone’s anticipation, they arrived at the gates of the Divine Star Palace. Looking at the magnificent palace and its mysterious aura, Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel a shock. He knew that he was about to step into this legendary place and begin his new journey.
