507: Chapter 507 Mental Strength Cultivator!

It wasn't a common scholarly air, but a deeper, more ancient aura—as if she herself were a walking ancient tome, containing infinite wisdom and mysteries.

The aura was ethereal, flickering in and out of existence, making it impossible for one to grasp.

She stood there, appearing as though she were one with the surrounding world, yet also independent of it.

“Hmm? Is this a Mental Energy Cultivator?”

Qin Yan looked toward her; the moment his gaze fell upon her, he felt a strange power fluctuating.

It wasn't True Qi, nor blood qi, but a more profound and elusive power—Mental Energy.

After a short while, he felt a strange sense of dizziness arise in his mind!

The dizziness was very slight, vanishing in a flash, but it was real.

It was as if someone were lightly touching his mind.

Qin Yan's heart tightened, and he quickly reined in his thoughts to stabilize his spirit.

This woman's Mental Energy is so strong!

The other prodigies at the top of the Heavenly Ladder looked at Su Qingwan, their expressions also turning solemn!

Clearly, they were also affected.

The woman seemed to notice everyone's gaze, slightly tilting her head and nodding toward them.

Then, she ignored them and walked to a deserted corner at the edge of the Heavenly Ladder.

She lightly raised her fair hand, and an ancient-looking brush appeared in her grasp.

The brush was translucent white, with fine patterns faintly visible on the barrel, emitting a soft glow.

In her other hand, a sheet of pure white paper appeared.

She lifted the brush and applied the ink.

The tip of the brush moved slowly across the paper, and characters flowed out from it one by one.

Those characters were ancient and profound, each containing a unique power.

They emerged from the paper, turning into streaks of light that circled and slowly rotated around her.

Some characters were like birds, some like swimming fish, some like mountain ranges, and some like rivers.

They spiraled around her, forming a unique field that enveloped her entire person.

She stood quietly at the center of the vortex of characters, her brush dancing lightly as the scent of ink filled the air.

Her whole being looked like a Fairy stepped out of an ancient painting, beautiful and untainted by dust.

“As expected of the favored daughter of the Book Sect; looking at her Mental Energy, she must have broken through to 400 Hertz.”

Lin Ruoxi murmured in a low voice; though the sound was soft, it clearly reached the ears of several people.

The Book Sect—it was an extremely special power within the Myriad Realms.

They were not known for their martial prowess, but for their knowledge.

It was said that the Book Sect held the most complete collection of classics in the Myriad Realms, recording countless lost Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, histories, and secrets.

The Disciples of the Book Sect were all profoundly knowledgeable, and they also cultivated the extremely rare Mental Energy.

There are many Cultivators in the world; Qi Refining is the most common, followed by Body Refining, while Mental Energy Cultivators are the rarest.

The reason was simple: Mental Energy Cultivators were too dependent on talent.

Many people cultivated bitterly, yet their Mental Energy never increased!

Some people cultivated for a lifetime, but their Mental Energy was only a few dozen Hertz, unable to even reach the entry level.

This is talent, it is Bloodline, it is fate.

Even with Lin Ruoxi's talent, she only practiced Dual Cultivation of Qi Refining and Body Refining.

She had also tried to Cultivate Mental Energy; after all, having one more trick up one's sleeve is always good.

But unfortunately, Mental Energy was too difficult to Cultivate.

She cultivated for a period of time, but since the progress was minimal, she gave up.

Rather than wasting time on Mental Energy where no hope could be seen, it was better to focus on improving her Sword Intent.

In fact, it wasn't just her; the other people who cleared the Heavenly Ladder were in similar situations.

They had all tried to Cultivate Mental Energy, but without exception, they had all failed.

Furthermore, Mental Energy has no Realm divisions; it relies entirely on Mental Energy intensity.

At 200 Hertz, one can be said to have entered the threshold and is called a Mental Energy Cultivator.

At this time, the explosive power of a Mental Energy Cultivator is equivalent to a Fourth Rank Martial Artist.

A 300 Hertz Mental Energy Cultivator is equivalent to a Fifth-Rank Martial Artist.

A 400 Hertz Mental Energy Cultivator is equivalent to a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist!

500 Hertz is equivalent to a Seventh-Grade Grandmaster.

600 Hertz is equivalent to an Eighth-Rank Grandmaster.

700 Hertz is equivalent to a Ninth-Grade Venerable.

800 Hertz is equivalent to a Tenth Rank True King.

And once a Mental Energy Cultivator breaks through 900 Hertz...

Their strength is enough to rival a True Emperor expert!

Such an existence, with a single thought, can shake the stars and overturn the heavens and earth!

They are existences truly standing at the Peak of the Myriad Realms!

...

“Clang—!”

“Clang—!”

“Clang—!”

Three long and grand bell tolls echoed throughout the entire Taixuan Holy Land East Courtyard square!

As the bell rang, the entire Heavenly Ladder suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light!

The golden light was brilliant and eye-catching, gushing out from every step simultaneously, instantly enveloping the entire Heavenly Ladder.

Within the golden light, all the prodigies still on the Heavenly Ladder clearly felt—

The pressure of the Heavenly Ladder had vanished.

That invisible colossal force that had made them breathless receded like a tide, vanishing without a trace.

In its place was a soft and warm power that gently supported them.

The Heavenly Ladder challenge was over.

Those prodigies who were still struggling to climb either breathed a sigh of relief, looked unwilling, or felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

But regardless, everything was now set in stone.

And at the moment the pressure vanished—

Streaks of golden light rose up from behind them!

Those golden lights slowly condensed, gradually taking shape.

Finally, they transformed into golden seats!

Those seats varied in size and form, but all emitted a faint golden glow.

They floated quietly behind every Prodigy, waiting for them to take their seats.

“What is this?”

Qin Yan looked at the golden throne that suddenly appeared behind him, confused.

He was just standing at the top of the Heavenly Ladder, and the next moment, such a seat appeared behind him.

“Take your seats.”

Just then, Yun Nishang's voice rang out again in the air.

The voice was cold and majestic, yet it carried a trace of satisfaction that was hard to detect.

Clearly, she was quite gratified with the results of this session's Heavenly Ladder challenge.

Qin Yan looked around and found that the other people who had cleared the Heavenly Ladder had already taken their seats one after another.

Lin Ruoxi sat elegantly on her throne, Sword Intent swirling around her;

Long Aotian sat down in a domineering manner, the phantom of a golden Dragon faintly visible behind him;

Su Qingwan sat down gently, her white robes spreading out, the scent of brush and ink becoming even more concentrated;

Beichen Xing, Feng Wuji, and Zhao Wuji also took their respective seats, with different expressions, but all exuded an air of composure and calm.

He didn't hesitate either and plopped down onto the throne.

The moment he sat down, he felt a warm power surge from the throne, wrapping around his entire body.

That power was soft and comfortable, making the fatigue accumulated from climbing the Heavenly Ladder lighten significantly.

This throne actually has the effect of restoring physical strength.
