160: Chapter 160 Baptism of the Dao Source, Ascending to the Hundredth Floor

Stepping into the 81st floor, the scene before his eyes changed once again.

This time, it was not a specific environment, nor a choice, but a... path.

A staircase made of white jade, about three feet wide, winding upwards, suspended in the endless Void Realm. The staircase was endless, hidden within vast clouds and mist. On both sides of the staircase lay the bottomless dark Void Realm, as if it could devour everything.

Below the staircase stood a stone tablet with ancient characters carved on it:

"Questioning Dao Heavenly Ladder, one step, one heaven. Step on the Heavenly Ladder, climb to the top, and you can pass the level. Above the Heavenly Ladder, there is Great Dao pressure, Heart Demon illusions, and Law tests. The higher the level you reach, the higher the evaluation. Those who fall, fail. You may give up at any time."

"Questioning Dao Heavenly Ladder?" Lin Wan looked at the winding white jade staircase that seemed to have no end, his eyes solemn.

He felt a vast, ancient, and supreme aura permeating the staircase; that was... Great Dao pressure! Moreover, the higher he went, the stronger that pressure became.

"Climbing the Heavenly Ladder... it tests comprehensive strength, including cultivation, Physical Body, Divine Soul, will, and comprehension of the Great Dao." Lin Wan understood in his heart.

There was no possibility of taking shortcuts in this stage; he could only rely on his own strength, one step at a time, to climb up.

"My 'Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom' encompasses all phenomena, can assimilate all Laws, and my comprehension of the Great Dao is far superior to those of the same rank.

My Physical Body, after being tempered by Chaos Qi multiple times, is also extremely formidable.

My Dao Heart has just been baptized by the 'Nine Questions of Heart Refining', making it even more perfect and solid.

I should be able to go very far on this stage."

Lin Wan took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and stepped onto the first step.

"Boom—!"

The moment his foot landed, a massive pressure, like a mountain, descended and pressed heavily on his body.

This pressure was not merely physical force; it contained a trace of Great Dao Law aura, as if heaven and earth were rejecting him, and the Great Dao was suppressing him.

Lin Wan's body sank slightly, but he immediately stood firm. This bit of pressure was nothing to him.

He continued upward.

The second step, the third step, the fourth step...

With every step he went up, the Great Dao pressure increased by a fraction. At the same time, various illusions began to appear around him.

Sometimes it was old enemies rushing over with hideous faces, sometimes it was deceased relatives calling out with tears, and sometimes it was Heart Demons manifesting various temptations... This was the Heart Demon illusion, questioning his Dao Heart.

But Lin Wan's Dao Heart was like glaze, clear and solid; these Heart Demon illusions could not shake him in the slightest.

His eyes were clear, his pace firm, and he climbed up, one step at a time.

The tenth step, the twentieth step, the thirtieth step...

The Great Dao pressure was getting stronger and stronger, as if he were carrying ancient divine mountains on his back.

The illusions around him were also becoming more realistic and dangerous.

Sometimes Law attacks would even appear, such as fire, thunder, gale, and ice appearing out of thin air to attack his Physical Body and Divine Soul.

Lin Wan circulated the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom", with Chaos Qi swirling around his body, assimilating and dispelling all attacks, pressure, and illusions.

He was like a god walking in the mortal world, his steps steady, his speed undiminished, as he continued upward.

The fiftieth step, the sixtieth step, the seventieth step...

At this moment, the Great Dao pressure was terrifying enough to crush an ordinary Early Stage Earth Immortal Cultivator.

The surrounding illusions also turned into more terrifying scenes—he saw the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" shattered, saw "the end" descend, and saw everything he cherished destroyed before his eyes... This was an illusion that pointed directly at the deepest fears in his heart.

Lin Wan's footsteps paused for the first time.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his body trembled slightly, as if he were enduring immense pressure.

"Fear? Destruction? Loss?" A trace of struggle flashed in Lin Wan's eyes, but soon, that struggle was replaced by an even greater determination.

"My Dao, by nature, encompasses Chaos and the end. Chaos gives birth to all things, and all things return to the end; this is the Great Dao of Reincarnation. I walk within it, witnessing everything, experiencing everything, only then is it 'existence'!"

"My fear stems from cherishing. My cherishing gives me strength! the end may come, but before that, I will do my utmost to protect what I love and prove my Dao!"

"Give me—break!"

With a low roar, brilliant light erupted from Lin Wan's eyes, and the Chaos Qi around his body exploded, dispersing all the surrounding illusions, along with the terrifying Great Dao pressure.

He lifted his foot again and stepped onto the seventy-first step.

"Boom!"

As if breaking through some kind of limit, Lin Wan felt the pressure on his body suddenly lighten, and he seemed to have a bit more affinity with the surrounding Great Dao Laws.

His climbing speed, instead, accelerated a bit.

The eightieth step, the ninetieth step...

The Great Dao pressure had become substantial, turning into seven-colored light, washing over Lin Wan's body and Divine Soul like a waterfall.

Every ray of light was heavy as a thousand jun, containing the power of different Great Dao Laws. This was a Law test, requiring the Cultivator to use their own understanding of the Dao to resist, resolve, and absorb these Great Dao Law powers.

The phantom of Lin Wan's "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" manifested behind him, rotating slowly.

The seven-colored light washing over him, upon touching the phantom of the Divine Kingdom, was assimilated and absorbed by the Chaos Qi, turning into nourishment for the growth of the Divine Kingdom.

His comprehension of the Great Daos of Chaos, Reincarnation, existence, and the end was also rapidly improving amidst this washing and assimilation.

The ninety-fifth step, the ninety-sixth step, the ninety-seventh step...

Lin Wan's climbing speed was getting slower and slower; with every step, it was as if he were carrying the entire world forward.

Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, caused by the Great Dao pressure impacting his internal organs.

His bones emitted an unbearable "creaking" sound. His Divine Soul was also enduring immense pressure, as if it could shatter at any moment.

But his eyes remained firm, and his spine remained straight.

"Chaos Reincarnation, encompasses everything! Great Dao pressure is also the Dao! Give me—fuse!"

Lin Wan roared low, pushing the power of the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" to the limit, no longer just passively resisting and assimilating those seven-colored lights, but actively devouring, absorbing, and refining them!

He wanted to thoroughly integrate these Great Dao Law powers into himself, turning them into his own comprehension of the Great Dao!

"Rumble!"

The seven-colored light seemed to have found an outlet, crazily pouring into Lin Wan's body and into the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom".

Lin Wan's body seemed to turn into seven-colored glaze, sometimes brilliant gold, sometimes crystalline green, sometimes fiery red, sometimes deep blue like the sea... Various Great Dao Laws clashed and collided within his body, as if they wanted to tear him apart.

Violent pain washed over him like a tide, almost drowning Lin Wan's consciousness.

But he gritted his teeth tightly, circulated his Cultivation Technique, used Chaos Qi as a guide and the power of Reincarnation to harmonize, forcibly incorporating these conflicting Law powers into the system of the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom".

"Chaos gives birth to all things, and all things return to Reincarnation. All Laws return to one, and all Daos return to the Origin! Give me—refine!"

The "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" circulated crazily, like a giant millstone, crushing, digesting, and absorbing the incoming seven-colored light one by one.

The scope of the Divine Kingdom expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming more solid, and the Great Dao Laws within it also became clearer and more perfect.

Lin Wan's aura, amidst this painful tempering, not only did not weaken but became thicker and deeper.

His Physical Body, under the washing of the seven-colored light, became tougher, faintly glowing with treasure light.

His Divine Soul also became more condensed and powerful under this grinding.

The ninety-eighth step, the ninety-ninth step...

Only the last step remained!

Lin Wan stood on the ninety-ninth step, covered in blood, his clothes torn, but his eyes were frighteningly bright, like two burning stars.

The aura on his body had reached the limit of the Peak Human Immortal, and there were even faint signs of breaking through to Earth Immortal, but he forcibly suppressed it.

Ahead, the last step seemed close at hand, yet it also felt far away.

A terrifying pressure, ten times, a hundred times stronger than before, like the sky collapsing, shrouded the last step.

There, the seven-colored light had thickened into substantial liquid, falling like a waterfall, emitting heart-palpitating fluctuations.

"The last step... is also the strongest step." Lin Wan took a deep breath, a trace of madness flashing in his eyes.

He knew that this last step was by no means easy. But he had to step on it! This was not only to pass the 81st floor, but also for his own will and his pursuit of the Great Dao!

"My Dao is climbing, transcending, and being fearless! How can a mere Heavenly Ladder stop me?"

"Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom, open!"

Lin Wan let out a long whistle, unleashing the last bit of power within him without reservation.

The phantom of the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" behind him expanded suddenly, becoming extremely solid, as if a real world had descended, enveloping Lin Wan within it.

Within the Divine Kingdom, Chaos Qi churned, shadows of Reincarnation floated, light of existence shone, and darkness of the end appeared; at this moment, the rudiments of the four supreme dao rhymes faintly showed signs of merging!

"Give me—up!"

Lin Wan stepped out, like a divine dragon swimming against the current, and ferociously rushed into the waterfall of seven-colored light!

"Boom—!!!"

An indescribable, terrifying pressure, like billions of divine mountains, pressed heavily on Lin Wan.

The torrent of Laws formed by the seven-colored light, like an angry dragon, rushed into the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom", wanting to completely crush and annihilate this nascent world.

Lin Wan's body, like porcelain, showed countless fine cracks, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

His Divine Soul also felt as if it were about to be torn to pieces in this torrent.

But his eyes remained firm, and he let out an unyielding roar, pouring all his power, all his will, and all his conviction into this step!

"Crack!"

It was as if something had shattered, and it was as if something had been born.

Lin Wan felt his body lighten, and that terrifying pressure receded like a tide. He stood firmly on the 100th step! That was... the top of the Questioning Dao Heavenly Ladder!

"Hum—!"

The moment he reached the top, the surrounding seven-colored light, like swallows returning to their nest, crazily poured into Lin Wan's body and into the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom".

This time, it was no longer a violent washing, but a gentle nourishment and baptism.

The terrifying injuries on Lin Wan's body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye under the nourishment of the seven-colored light.

The shattered bones healed, the torn Meridians were restored, the dried-up Immortal Essence was instantly replenished, and it even became purer and thicker.

His Physical Body, under the tempering of the seven-colored light, faintly glowed with a layer of seven-colored treasure light, and its strength reached a terrifying degree, comparable to a Low Grade Immortal Artifact!

His Divine Soul also became as clear and solid as crystal, his Divine Sense range surged, and his perception became more acute.

More importantly, his comprehension of the Great Daos of "Chaos", "Reincarnation", "existence", and "the end" made rapid progress under the baptism of this seven-colored light!

The "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" became more stable and perfect, and its range expanded more than ten times!

He even felt that he could trigger the Earth Immortal tribulation at any time, and he had full confidence that he could easily pass it!

"This seven-colored light... contains a trace of the power of the Great Dao Origin! This is... the rudiment of the Dao Origin Baptism?" Lin Wan was shocked in his heart.

If just climbing the Heavenly Ladder and reaching the top brought such huge benefits, what kind of Opportunity would the real 100th floor, the "Dao Origin Palace", be?

"81st floor, Questioning Dao Heavenly Ladder, reached the top. Evaluation: Perfect. Time taken: Three hours. Points obtained: 50,000 points. Extra reward: One Great Dao Baptism. Final points obtained: 55,000 points."

"Current total points: 855,000 points. Current ranking: First place!"

55,000 points! The total points reached 855,000! Still far ahead!

Outside, the world was once again shocked by Lin Wan's crazy performance. 81st floor, Questioning Dao Heavenly Ladder, reached the top, perfect evaluation! This created another record!

"855,000 points... This Lin Wan is simply not human!"

"Qin Wushuang and the others, which floor are they on now? How many points?"

"Qin Wushuang just passed the 80th floor, with 450,000 points. Saintess Ye Qingxue is on the 79th floor, with 420,000 points. Xiao Zhan is on the 78th floor, with 400,000 points. The gap is getting bigger and bigger!"

"It seems that the first place in this assembly belongs to Lin Wan. I just don't know which floor he can eventually climb to?"

"It is said that from the 81st floor onwards, there will be a Great Dao Baptism every ten floors. The further you go, the better the baptism effect. If one can reach the top of the 100th floor and enter the Dao Origin Palace to receive a complete Dao Origin Baptism, that will be a massive Opportunity!"

"Dao Origin Baptism... that is an Opportunity that can improve a Cultivator's affinity with the Great Dao, and even directly comprehend the Great Dao Origin! It is rare in ten thousand years!"

"Lin Wan... perhaps he really has a chance?"

On the high platform, Immortal Lord Tianhua and the others were also holding their breath, staring closely at the Ascension Tower. They knew that the real test had only just begun. Every floor after the 81st would skyrocket in difficulty. But the potential Lin Wan displayed also gave them hope.

"Perhaps, my Donghua Immortal Domain is really going to produce an extraordinary figure." The Elder of the Donghua Immortal Sect muttered to himself.

Inside the Ascension Tower, nurtured by the seven-colored light, Lin Wan quickly recovered to his Peak state, even stronger than before. He did not pause; after a brief adjustment, he stepped into the 82nd floor.

The 82nd floor tested the dismantling of an ancient battle Formation. Relying on the Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom's capacity to encompass and deduce all phenomena, Lin Wan spent some time successfully dismantling it, receiving an evaluation of "Excellent" and gaining 28,000 points.

The 83rd floor tested the completion of an incomplete Divine Ability. With his profound understanding of the Dao of "Chaos" and "Reincarnation," Lin Wan successfully completed it, receiving an evaluation of "Perfect" and gaining 30,000 points.

The 84th floor tested the refining of special Materials. Using Chaos Qi to simulate various Artifact Refining true fires, Lin Wan successfully extracted high-purity Materials, receiving an evaluation of "Excellent" and gaining 32,000 points.

Lin Wan forged ahead. Relying on his deep Foundation, powerful strength, perfect Dao Heart, and the improvements brought by the recent Dao baptism, he was unstoppable, breaking through several levels in succession.

On the 85th floor, he encountered a Late Stage Earth Immortal "Shadow Demon," proficient in concealment, assassination, and Divine Soul attacks, which was extremely difficult to deal with. After fighting hundreds of rounds, Lin Wan locked onto its true form with the Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom and destroyed its Divine Soul with the Samsara Tribulation Finger, narrowly killing it. Evaluation: "Superior," gaining 34,000 points.

On the 86th floor, he entered a "Time Turbulence" area where the flow of time was erratic and chaotic. The test was about adapting to and comprehending the power of time. Protecting his body with the Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom and using the "Reincarnation" dao rhyme to comprehend the changes in time flow, Lin Wan successfully persisted for the required time and captured a fragment of the Law of Time. Evaluation: "Perfect," gaining 36,000 points.

On the 87th floor, he needed to find and collect three specific Immortal Plants in a dangerous area with "chaotic Laws." The Laws there were disorderly, with the power of various attributes conflicting and exploding, making it extremely dangerous. Relying on the Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom's ability to assimilate all Laws, Lin Wan was like a fish in water and successfully collected the Immortal Plants. Evaluation: "Excellent," gaining 38,000 points.

On the 88th floor, he needed to refine a Grade 4 Immortal Pill, the "Tribulation Transformation Pill," which could help Cultivators withstand the Heavenly Tribulation. This required extremely high Alchemy skills. Although Lin Wan did not specialize in Alchemy, by relying on the Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom's precise control over medicinal properties and heat, as well as his application of the "existence" dao rhyme to stabilize the pill's spirituality, he succeeded on the first attempt, refining a High Grade "Tribulation Transformation Pill." Evaluation: "Perfect," gaining 40,000 points.

On the 89th floor, he needed to repair a damaged ancient teleportation Formation, which involved profound knowledge of space, time, Five Elements, and other complex Formations. Lin Wan exhausted his mental energy, deducing for a full day and night before barely managing to repair it successfully. Evaluation: "Superior," gaining 42,000 points.

When Lin Wan passed the 89th floor and his points reached the terrifying figure of one million, the Cultivators outside were already completely numb.

One million points! This was an unprecedented number! The points of Qin Wushuang, Saintess Ye Qingxue, Xiao Zhan, and others had only just broken the 500,000 mark. Lin Wan's points were double theirs! And he was still moving forward!

"One million... My god, how did he do it?"

"Could it be that this Lin Wan has no weaknesses? Combat power, Comprehension Ability, Heart-Nature, Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Formations... He seems to know everything and be proficient in everything!"

"A Prodigy! An unprecedented Prodigy!"

"It seems that there is real hope of reaching the 100th floor and receiving the Dao Origin baptism!"

On the high platform, the breathing of Immortal Lord Tianhua and the others became slightly rapid. One million points had already broken the highest point record for the Ascension Conference's Ascension Tower in the Donghua Immortal Domain in nearly 100,000 years! Moreover, looking at Lin Wan, he seemed to still have energy to spare!

"This child... perhaps he can really create a miracle and reach the 100th floor!" The Fairy from Yaochi Immortal Palace had bright, shimmering eyes, full of anticipation.

"Reaching the 100th floor and receiving the Dao Origin baptism... that is a supreme Opportunity that can change a Cultivator's Foundation and improve their Dao Aptitude! If he can succeed..." The Elder of the Donghua Immortal Sect was also full of excitement.

The 90th floor.

This was a strange space, seemingly located in the depths of the starry sky. All around were endless stars, and beneath his feet was a brilliant galaxy. In the center of the space floated an ancient, cracked bronze bell.

"90th floor, Questioning Dao Bell. Strike the Questioning Dao Bell; nine chimes will allow you to pass. The more chimes, the higher the evaluation. Warning: The Questioning Dao Bell strikes directly at the Dao Heart. With each chime, the pressure on the Dao Heart doubles. Those with an unstable Dao Heart who force a strike may risk the collapse of their Dao Heart."

"Questioning Dao Bell? Strike it nine times?" Lin Wan looked at the ancient bronze bell, sensing the vast, ancient aura emanating from it that seemed capable of questioning the soul, his expression solemn.

He knew that this level, while seemingly simple, was actually dangerous. Striking the Questioning Dao Bell was not a test of strength, but a test of one's understanding of the "Dao" and the firmness of one's Dao Heart. Each chime was a questioning, a baptism, and an impact on the Dao Heart. If the Dao Heart was not firm enough, forcing a strike could result in damage to the Dao Heart at best, or the collapse of the Dao Heart and becoming a cripple at worst.

"My Dao Heart, after the baptism of the Nine Questions of Heart Refining, is already approaching Perfection. Striking nine times should not be a problem." Lin Wan took a deep breath, walked to the bronze bell, raised his hand, and gently pressed it against the cold bell wall.

"Dong—!"

A low, melodious bell sound, seemingly from the ancient prehistoric era, suddenly rang out, echoing in this starry sky.

As the bell sound entered his ears, Lin Wan trembled, as if an invisible heavy hammer had struck his Dao Heart. A vast, vast consciousness rushed into his Sea of Consciousness along with the bell sound, as if questioning his Dao, his original heart.

"What is thy Dao?"

Lin Wan's Dao Heart was steady and unmoved. He said loudly: "My Dao is Chaos, Reincarnation, existence, and the end!"

"Dong!"

The second chime was even louder, and the pressure on his Dao Heart doubled.

"Why dost thou seek longevity?"

"To control destiny, to protect what I treasure, to explore the Dao, and to witness the magnificent!"

"Dong!"

The third chime, like a thunderclap, shook Lin Wan until his blood and Qi surged.

"Dost thou fear the end?"

"the end is also a new beginning; what is there to fear? I walk on the Dao, witnessing the end, and also witnessing the new beginning!"

"Dong!"

The fourth chime, like the sound of the Heavenly Dao, made Lin Wan feel as if his Dao Heart was being placed in a raging fire, then in freezing ice, enduring the test of ice and fire. But his Dao Heart was like iron, remaining steady.

"Dost thou regret the past?"

"All of the past is but a prologue. Regret is useless; only move forward!"

"Dong!"

The fifth chime rang, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of Lin Wan's mouth, but his eyes were even brighter.

"Dost thou fear the future?"

"The future has not yet arrived; why fear it? I shall forge ahead!"

"Dong!"

The sixth chime rang, and Lin Wan's body shook violently. Blood was seeping from his seven orifices, but his hand pressed against the bell wall remained steady.

"Can thy Dao reach the other shore?"

"The Dao is under my feet, and the other shore is in my heart. Where I walk is the Dao. Where my heart is at peace is the other shore!"

"Dong!"

The seventh chime rang, and Lin Wan felt his Divine Soul trembling, as if about to be shattered by this bell sound. But the phantom of the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" in his Sea of Consciousness shone brightly, stabilizing his Divine Soul and anchoring his Dao Heart.

"Art thou willing to forsake everything for the Dao?"

"The Dao is the path, and I am the traveler. I am for the Dao, and also for myself. If I forsake myself to seek the Dao, the Dao is not my Dao. I am the Dao, and the Dao is me; why forsake anything?"

"Dong!"

The eighth chime rang, and Lin Wan felt as if his whole body was about to explode. Cracks appeared on his Physical Body, and his Divine Soul swayed. But the light in his eyes was as brilliant as the stars, as if it could illuminate the ages.

"Dost thou... understand the Dao?"

Lin Wan was silent, as if thinking, and as if having an epiphany. After a long time, he spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but seemingly containing a certain truth of the Dao, resonating with the bell sound:

"The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao. Understand the Dao? The Dao is nameless; I name it Dao. I understand my heart, which is understanding the Dao. My Dao is me, and I am my Dao. Whether I understand it or not, it is all me."

"Dong—!!!"

The ninth chime, like the sound of creation, resounded through the starry sky and shook the ages! The bronze bell shone brightly, and the cracks on it seemed to heal a little.

Lin Wan spat out a mouthful of blood with a "Wah," and his body swayed, but a smile of realization and relief appeared on his face.

Nine chimes, he had endured it! His Dao Heart, under the questioning, baptism, and impact of these nine chimes, not only did not collapse but became even more perfect, more solid, and more brilliant! It was like divine iron that had been tempered a thousand times, radiating an immortal brilliance.

"90th floor, Questioning Dao Bell, nine chimes, perfect pass. Evaluation: Perfect. Time taken: One stick of incense. Points gained: 50,000 points. Additional reward: One Dao Heart sublimation, one Questioning Dao Bell enlightenment. Final points gained: 50,000 points."

"Current total points: 1,050,000 points. Current ranking: First place!"

One million fifty thousand points! The record was broken again!

Outside, everyone was completely speechless. Nine chimes, a perfect pass! To what extent had Lin Wan's Dao Heart become solid?

On the high platform, Immortal Lord Tianhua and the others were already excited enough to stand up.

"Nine chimes! Nine chimes of the Questioning Dao Bell! A perfect pass! This child's Dao Heart is approaching Perfection! His future achievements will be limitless!" The Elder of the Donghua Immortal Sect's voice was trembling.

"Dao Heart sublimation, Questioning Dao Bell enlightenment... this is a huge Opportunity! With this Opportunity, he will have no more Bottlenecks in his Breakthrough to Earth Immortal! Even Heavenly Immortal is within reach!" The Fairy from Yaochi Immortal Palace had bright, shimmering eyes.

"The 100th floor... Dao Origin Palace... he really has hope!" The Sword Cultivator from the Divine Weapon Pavilion also couldn't help but be excited.

Inside the Ascension Tower, Lin Wan sat cross-legged in the enlightenment of the Questioning Dao Bell for a full day. On this day, he seemed to have listened to the sound of the Dao, and his understanding of "Chaos," "Reincarnation," "existence," and "the end" leaped forward again. The "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" became more complete, faintly having the rudiments of a real world.

When he opened his eyes again, it was as if the sun, moon, and stars were vanishing and appearing in his eyes, as if Chaos was just beginning, as if Reincarnation was operating, as if existence was established, and as if the end was arriving. His aura was deeper and more vast, as if he had merged with the surrounding Dao.

"91st floor..."

Lin Wan did not stop and continued to climb.

91st floor, 92nd floor, 93rd floor... 98th floor, 99th floor!

Relying on his increasingly deep accumulation, increasingly powerful strength, and increasingly perfect Dao Heart, Lin Wan was unstoppable all the way, breaking through nine levels in a row! Although every level was extremely dangerous, he overcame them one by one, with an evaluation of at least "Excellent," and his points were accumulating crazily.

When he stood at the end of the 99th floor, looking at the last portal emitting a hazy halo in front of him, his total points had reached a number that made everyone look up to—1.5 million points!

And the second-place Qin Wushuang's points at this moment were only 800,000. Saintess Ye Qingxue had 750,000, and Xiao Zhan had 700,000.

The gap was so large that it was despairing.

But at this moment, no one cared about the points. Everyone's eyes were focused on that last portal.

100th floor! Dao Origin Palace!

A supreme treasure land that legend says contains the power of the Dao Origin! Those who can ascend are one in ten thousand! Those who can receive the Dao Origin baptism are even rarer than phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!

Can Lin Wan succeed?

Outside the Ascension Tower, on the square, millions of Cultivators were silent. Everyone held their breath, nervously watching the towering Ascension Tower, watching the only light spot on the tower that was still lit, representing the 100th floor.

On the high platform, Immortal Lord Tianhua and the others couldn't help but stand up, their expressions solemn and their eyes burning.

"100th floor... Dao Origin Palace..." Immortal Lord Tianhua muttered to himself, his eyes full of anticipation, "Lin Wan, do not let this lord down."

Inside the Ascension Tower, before the entrance to the 100th floor.

Lin Wan took a deep breath to calm his somewhat agitated emotions. Having broken through 99 levels in a row, his consumption was immense; his Immortal Qi, Divine Soul, and mental energy were all nearly exhausted. But in his eyes, a raging fire was burning.

100th floor, Dao Origin Palace. Contains the power of the Dao Origin. As long as he can receive the Dao Origin baptism, his Foundation will be more solid, his understanding of the Dao will be more profound, and his future path of the Dao will be wider.

"Go for it!"

Lin Wan did not hesitate any longer and stepped into the portal emitting a hazy halo.
