Weapon Master

At the foot of the mountain, Gu Daozi had stabilized his body. His face was ashen, and his eyes were frighteningly cold.

He was actually sent flying!

He had thought that it was possible that he wouldn't be able to reach the summit of the mountain, but he never thought that under the gazes of everyone present, he would instantly slide down to the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, a great sense of humiliation emerged from the bottom of his heart.

However, in the end, Gu Daozi was an Sky Sovereign who had cultivated for countless years. This kind of emotion was suppressed by him the moment it appeared, and he narrowed his eyes and coldly glanced at Tang Huan, who was getting closer and closer to the peak. A sinister cold light flashed from the bottom of his eyes.

"Tang Huan, this old man has truly underestimated you!"

Gu Daozi took a deep breath and began climbing up again.

However, the unforeseen event that happened to him a moment ago had caused many cultivators to turn their attention to the top.

As they looked at the figure that continued to advance, the eyes of many Empyreans revealed unconcealable astonishment and shock. Although they had yet to reach such a height, from Gu Daozi's performance, it could be seen how much pressure they had to bear in the region above them.

Gu Daozi, the number one ranker, was actually unable to endure it.

But strangely enough, not only was Tang Huan able to resist the terrifying pressure, she was also continuously climbing upwards … This huge contrast made everyone feel even more inconceivable. However, their performance here was completely reversed. From the looks of the current situation, it was very likely that Tang Huan was the first Sky Sovereign to reach the summit, and possibly the only one —

One.

As for Gu Daozi …

Originally, everyone thought that he would very likely surpass Tang Huan and be the first one to reach the summit. However, the scene just now caused everyone's thoughts to greatly change.

Now, the crowd was no longer optimistic about his following performance.

After walking so far up the mountain, Gu Daozi must have consumed a massive amount of energy. With his current condition, it was unknown whether he could return to his original position, let alone reach the summit. On this mountain peak, his gains could not be compared with Tang Huan's.

Furthermore, the mistake just now made it possible that he couldn't even catch up to Qin Xian Ye, Yuan Chao, and the others.

Thinking of this, besides feeling regret, everyone could not help but gloat.

Although they were both Empyreans, there was still a huge difference between Empyreans and Empyreans. To them, Gu Daozi was an existence that could only be looked up to, an existence far above them, something that they could not hope to reach. But now, in this trial of the Celestial Ancestor Realm, he had been defeated.

This made those who had been dissatisfied with the Clear Void Dao Pavilion feel even more pleased.

"My strength is lacking, that's exactly it!"

High up on the mountain peaks, Tang Huan also felt the change in events and couldn't help but smile to herself.

On this mountain peak, one could not absorb the energy of the outside world. If one wanted to replenish their own energy, they would have to rely on themselves.

Although Tang Huan did not pay much attention to it, Gu Daozi had obviously absorbed and refined a lot of energy to supplement his energy during his climb. Unfortunately, his rate of replenishment was obviously slower than his rate of consumption, if not, he would not have been smashed down just now due to a moment of absent-mindedness.

At this point, it was already impossible for Gu Daozi to return to his original position, and even more so, catch up to him.

The two treasures at the peak of the mountain were surely not fated to be with him.

Tang Huan shook her head, she had already calmed herself down and focused her attention on herself.

The Yan Luo Golden Immortal was still in his palm, and the energy that was surging out from the flower was also still being refined by the sucking into Tang Huan's body. Even though Tang Huan's Sky Origin was already gone, and the power that kept on replenishing it was able to maintain the balance in her Sky Origin Stage.

With sufficient strength, Tang Huan's footsteps naturally became more steady.

Time trickled by bit by bit. Tang Huan forcefully endured the boundless pressure as she advanced step by step. Unknowingly, the distance between Tang Huan and the peak of the mountain slowly shrank.

Ten meters, nine meters … Six meters … Three meters...

When he was only one step away from the peak, Tang Huan's figure stopped once again.

This was the most critical and most difficult step. The pressure that Tang Huan was currently facing was already incomparably strong, and even though her steps were steady, he still had a faint feeling that her body was floating like duckweed.

It was as if once he took another step, his body would float upwards.

Tang Huan took a deep breath, calmed her heart and concentrated. An instant later, Tang Huan had activated her Nascent Soul and "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" to their limits at the same time, and the power in her body started to surge crazily like raging waves.

In that moment, Tang Huan raised her right leg.

Following this action, the enormous power within his body immediately followed along Tang Huan's right leg and roared towards that direction like a collapsing embankment and a raging wave, with the power to topple mountains and overturn the seas.

"Thump!"

After stepping onto the mountain peak, Tang Huan's body leaned forward, and took the opportunity to retract her left leg. Following that, her body slightly trembled, as if she would fall down at any time.

Fortunately the trembling only lasted for a moment, Tang Huan's body became as stable as a boulder.

"He's here!"

Tang Huan heaved a sigh of relief, and revealed a happy smile.

"He went up!"

At the upper part of the peak, Liu Li's taut face relaxed, and her beautiful eyes revealed a deep smile.

When Tang Huan took another step, Liu Li's speed slowed down. Half of her attention was focused on the mountain peaks, and two pairs of eyes were following the figure as he climbed up, step by step. Now, the figure had finally reached the summit.

However, despite her happiness, Liu Li could not help but feel a little rueful.

When she first met Tang Huan in the lower realm, she knew that as long as this little fellow didn't die, there would be a day when she would be able to step into the Sky Sovereign Realm. Furthermore, it would surpass her.

In these past few years, Tang Huan had indeed been advancing towards her judgement step by step. The current Tang Huan had long surpassed her, and had surpassed her by a lot.

Originally, she thought that Tang Huan was still ranked twelfth on the revered list.

But at this moment, she understood, Tang Huan had been cultivating in the space of the "Immortal Spirit Ancestral Court" for a very long time, his cultivation must have made a huge breakthrough. The reason why this breakthrough didn't appear on the honorary list was that the existence of the Ancestral Court had already transcended the heavens' law.

Once they left the Immortal Spirit Ancestral Court and were investigated by the heavens, not only would Tang Huan's ranking change, the rankings of the other Empyreans would also change. Of course, there would definitely not be as many people on the new ranking board as before. This was because there were already many Empyreans whose souls had already dispersed.

An Empyrean that died would definitely be removed from the revered list.

I wonder what Tang Huan's rank will be on the honored list after the new one appears? There was definitely no problem for the top ten. As for the top three …

Judging from her performance just now, Tang Huan was clearly superior to Gu Daozi. However, she could not say that Tang Huan was able to surpass the number one ranked Gu Daozi from this point on … From this point of view, Tang Huan could possibly surpass Yuan Chao and Qin Xian Ye and be weaker than Gu Daozi.

The second rank on the revered list was perhaps Tang Huan's new rank.

Thinking of this, Liu Li couldn't help but look forward to it. Compared to her, the other Empyreans were completely filled with shock.

"They went up! He went up! "

"We've really reached the peak …"

"That is a precious treasure that can help prove the location of the Dao. It seems like it is already in his possession!"

"..."

Although everyone had long anticipated the scene that would happen at the peak of Yu Feng and had already mentally prepared themselves for it, to personally witness Tang Huan successfully ascend the peak, everyone couldn't help but be greatly shocked. After all, reaching the summit of Yu Feng meant that they had a high chance of obtaining the most valuable treasure.

It was a supreme treasure that could help verify the Dao of the Gods …

This kind of treasure, was rarely seen since the ancient times, but it was about to fall into Tang Huan's hands. When this "Celestial Ancestral Immortal Realm" was revealed, Tang Huan was still just a lower Empyrean. She had cultivated in the space of the Ancestral Court for many years, so she might even be a middle Empyrean. While the other peak Superior Empyreans were painstakingly trying to prove their dao, Tang Huan, this intermediate Empyrean, already had a treasure that could be used to prove their dao. This caused everyone to …

How could he endure this?

For a moment, the gazes that everyone looked at the peak of the mountain were filled with jealousy, envy, and resentment.

Under dozens of gazes, Tang Huan looked at the two streams of white light that were within reach of her body. These two blobs of light were like living creatures, leisurely wandering around this small area. They never left the peak and ran to other areas of the mountain range.

With a thought, the "Smoke Luo Golden Immortal" was put away, and Tang Huan's mind enveloped the two balls of white flowing light.

Although he felt that the chances of success were not high, Tang Huan still wanted to try and see if he could discover the difference between the two balls of white light. When they had just entered this space, Tang Huan had once said that it was possible for them to obtain a treasure that could help them witness the Dao God position … There was only one possibility!

Whether or not there really was such a treasure, Tang Huan could not confirm.

If he could determine the difference between the two lumps of light, then it would be of great help to him in his next choice. He had already spent a long time anyway, so he was in no hurry.

Tang Huan's heart was as calm as water, her eyes slightly closed as she carefully probed around. After a long while, she could not help but slightly furrow her brows.

The aura exuded by the two balls of white light was exactly the same as that of the mountain range. From Tang Huan's senses, they were definitely a part of the mountain range.

Even though Tang Huan had activated all three of the divine crystals to their limits, she still failed to discover anything.

"Forget it, I'll just leave it up to fate!"

Tang Huan thought for a moment, then suddenly opened her eyes. Her right hand grabbed out like lightning, and a ball of white light landed in her palm.

But right after, the ball of white light had already entered his palm and disappeared.

"Rumble …"

This sudden turn of events caused Tang Huan to be unable to help but be slightly taken aback. However, before he could even react, she felt a sense of relief, as though she had not felt in a long time. That terrifying pressure actually disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Accompanying this sound, the mountain range began to tremble intensely.

Tang Huan suddenly woke up and immediately realised that the test of the Immortal Spirit Ancestral Court was about to end. Not only that, everyone would be teleported out of the Ancestral Court very quickly.

If no one reached the summit, this space would only send out the cultivators who had obtained the treasures one by one. Only when the final person had been transported away or when the time for the test was over would the Immortal Spirit Ancestral Court close.

However, if someone managed to reach the top and obtain a treasure, all the cultivators would be teleported out together and the ancestral courtyard would be sealed as well. Now that Tang Huan had obtained a ball of white light, it meant that the test was over … The end of the test wasn't against him alone, but everyone else.

"Sister Liu Li, please make your move quickly. We are about to leave the Ancestral Court." Tang Huan shouted loudly.

"It ended just like that?"

"So fast?"

"Why is this happening?"

"..."

Originally, everyone had their doubts, but upon hearing this, they couldn't help but exclaim. Liu Li, Qin Xian Ye, and Ji Qingtian were stunned for a moment before they immediately moved. Like lightning, they grabbed the ball of white light closest to them. A flash of extreme unwillingness appeared in Yuan Chao's eyes. Although he was unwilling to believe what Tang Huan had said, his body seemed very honest.

Gu Daozi stopped in his tracks. His eyes flickered as he quickly grabbed onto a ball of white light.

In the various parts of the mountain range, although the other Empyreans could not believe what they were seeing, their hand movements were not slow at all. All of them began to move.

"Whooosh."

In the time it took to take a breath or two, a string of white-colored odor rose from the mountain peaks, wrapping everyone up like cocoons. After a short while, they all felt an irresistible force imprisoning them and involuntarily rose into the air.

Not long after, the energy dissipated into nothingness.

Almost at the same time, a huge change occurred in everyone's line of sight. The conical mountain range, cloud passage, and the tall platform had all disappeared. In their line of sight, there was the boundless space and the continuous undulations of the mountain range.

Everyone immediately looked around …

Numerous buildings of all kinds stood in the vast area below the white chaos. Numerous auras, whether strong or weak, were densely packed inside or outside the buildings. They crisscrossed each other, appearing just like a huge net that stretched endlessly.

It was an enormous city.

"We're back!"

A cry of alarm jolted the slightly astonished crowd from their stupor.

In that instant, all the Empyreans realized that they had already left the "Immortal Spirit Ancestral Court" and were being transported to the entrance of Qu Atian's Ancestral Court. In the past few years, such a huge city had spontaneously formed with the "Immortal Spirit Ancestral Court" as the center.

As an Empyrean level expert, he was able to instantly determine the cause of this city. However, looking at the rapidly shrinking white chaos, everyone had a premonition that this city would soon disappear.
