Chapter 449: Four hundred forty-eight, catching up
Gu Yue stepped onto the forty-first floor, stopped, turned around to look behind him, and saw that it was empty and vast, a whiteness stretching into oblivion. He raised his lips in a satisfied smile. This time, he was sure to take the first place confidently.
After staying on the forty-first floor for a moment and getting used to the pushing force, Gu Yue continued towards the next floor. The pushing force here indeed affected him, but so far, the impact wasn’t too great.
While he was studying abroad, one day he came across an ancient book at a street stall. At first, he didn’t take it seriously; buying the book was a mere impulse. But later, when he opened it, he gradually became obsessed and followed the instructions, only then did he realize it was a Cultivation Method. Cultivation Methods and Ancient Martial Arts are different; cultivating to a certain level could allow one to Ascend to Immortality.
He had never told anyone, nor had he shown his true strength in front of others. With the opening of Jiuling Tower, he decided to astonish everyone, letting all in the Emperor Realm know that he was the strongest there, and only he could reach the top of Jiuling Tower.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen absorbed the rich Spiritual Power around them as they ascended, and to them, the pushing force was practically non-existent. They had experienced too many such secret realms in their last life and naturally knew how to dissipate that force.
Along the way, Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen also encountered many others climbing Jiuling Tower, but after the thirtieth floor, the number of people dwindled, and finally, it became empty. There were Arrays on each stone step here; as far as the eye could see, there were only five ranks. Above the fifth rank was just an expanse of whiteness, and even the strongest Divine Sense could not extend further.
Gu Yue’s face was ghastly pale, and his legs began to tremble. He had now reached the fiftieth floor, where the pushing force had a significant impact on him. Just a moment ago, he almost got flung out by that force.
