Chapter 741: The Limit
Li Pin's progress in the Supreme Ladder challenge remained as slow as ever. The further he advanced, the longer he took.
After reaching the sixtieth step, the time he took exceeded an entire stellar year.
Yet, a sense of unease had washed over the crowd near the Supreme Ladder. Yun Lai, Liang Qiu, Wang Fuyun, Yu Xuexian, and the others who had witnessed the entire ordeal felt this most profoundly
Back when Li Pin had just passed the fifty-sixth step, the discussions that reached his ears from the other Astral Gods had gone like this.
"That's it? Humanity Sanctum went to such lengths for him?"
"And they even call him a Sacred Child? He's really not living up to the title."
"I'd be able to do the same too."
However, by the time Li Pin had reached the sixty-first step, the crowd's tone had shifted.
"So-so, barely met my lowest expectations."
"Like an old lady's feet-binding cloth—it's long, but there's always an end to end. This should be his limit."
"Considering he achieved this in less than two hundred stellar years, he can somewhat barely justify the Sacred Child title."
As time continued to pass, even though Li Pin's pace remained slow, the moment he completely stepped onto the sixty-sixth step of the Supreme Ladder, the tone of discussion among the Astral Gods had changed entirely.
