At the same time, on the fourth ladder, there were only two people.
A man and a woman, the man was a burly figure, his martial arts cultivation reaching the high level of Yuanwu Realm Fifth Layer. Although he was not as good as the woman ahead, he still managed to reach a position between eighty and ninety percent.
At this moment, the man noticed Yang Chen surpassing the woman in front of him and laughed mockingly, “Jiang Caiying, who would have thought? Your martial arts cultivation has reached the sixth level of the Origin Martial Realm, far surpassing your peers. Yet today, there’s actually a youngster who can surpass you on the Stairway to Heaven. Hahaha, this is too interesting.”
Jiang Caiying did not turn her head but spoke coldly, “Huang Cheng, does this make you happy?”
However, as she said this, her eyes were sizing up Yang Chen.
She was shocked in her heart, “Master was right, this time in the Tiandu Emperor’s Treasure expedition, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I cannot be careless just because my martial arts cultivation is high. My soul realm is not inferior to that of the eighth layer of the Origin Martial Realm. When probing this kid, I could not see a trace of his background at all. This kid has an invisible layer of protection that I can’t detect.”
“Hehe, how can I not be happy? You, Jiang Caiying, are experiencing a setback for the first time, hahaha.” This genius named Huang Cheng laughed loudly.
In other people’s eyes, the woman in front of them had a mysterious background.
However, he did know the woman’s background because they both came from the same place.
In that place, Jiang Caiying was already a very outstanding talent. Although the talents of the Tiandu Emperor’s Treasure were dazzling this time, Jiang Caiying’s abilities as a first-rate talent were still undisputed. But now, someone could steal Jiang Caiying’s limelight, which was astonishing.
Little did they know, they were both taking advantage of the Treasure Rules of the Earth.
Because the two of them were only a few months away from turning 40.
In comparison to the other talents, they had taken advantage of every advantage, with a high background, age, and martial arts cultivation.
But even so, their thunder was still stolen by someone else.
Aside from that, Yang Chen’s pace showed no sign of stopping.
“My goodness, could it be that this kid is really going to pass the Heavenly Ladder?” Huang Cheng’s mouth was opened wide, his eyes fixed on Yang Chen who was ahead.
In truth, right now there were more than just a few people watching Yang Chen.
Because Yang Chen was only three steps away from completing the Heavenly Ladder and reaching the Heavenly Palace that countless people dreamt of!
Yes, just three steps.
Now, these three steps have become the focus, as the eyes of countless people converged on Yang Chen, wondering if he could, with his abilities, complete the task that currently no one else could.
One step, Yang Chen stepped forward.
Two steps!
Yang Chen still proceeded.
Then, the third step!
Everyone gulped.
The third step was no small challenge for Yang Chen, but he would not shrink back since it was the last step. He gathered all his strength and took the step suddenly. Then, he reached the gate of the Heavenly Palace, becoming the first person to complete this almost impossible Heavenly Ladder journey.
“He really did it!”
“Investigate him thoroughly for me!”
“Keep a close eye on him later. This kid might be a troublemaker, but he will become powerless in the face of absolute numbers and overwhelming martial arts cultivation. This kid is now entering the Heavenly Palace and will certainly gain some treasures and benefits. Hmm, humph, let him know what it means to be guiltless but bringing calamity upon oneself!”
Quite a few people had this idea, and many of the sects with a large number of disciples began to give orders gradually.
As for Yan Haiming, who was originally heading in the same direction as Yang Chen, he was now shocked, staring at Yang Chen in front of the Heavenly Palace, utterly speechless. He had actually been so naive…to want to accompany Yang Chen?
He and Yang Chen were not on the same level or realm at all; how could he think about going with Yang Chen?
Now, he had no such thoughts at all.
Meanwhile, Yang Chen was standing in front of the Heavenly Palace, feeling the call within the palace.
It was an inexplicable force, and Yang Chen had no intention of resisting it. Since he was here, he might as well accept it. He took a step forward and entered the Heavenly Palace.
When he arrived inside the palace, it was pitch black and he could not see his hand in front of his face. Yang Chen narrowed his eyes, not saying a word, just quietly releasing his divine soul.
Just as he exerted his divine soul power, a kindly and friendly old voice resounded slowly.
“Hehe, young friend, don’t be afraid…”
As the voice sounded, the light appeared, and the surroundings gradually gave birth to the scenery, like a jigsaw puzzle coming together. The Heavenly Palace seemed to be completely separate from the surrounding space.
This way of constructing the Heavenly Palace was baffling to Yang Chen.
Of course, although surprised, he was no ignorant person. He knew that the creator of the Heavenly Palace was definitely a master of array and restriction techniques, who had devoted a great deal of effort to the Heavenly Palace. And there must be something extraordinary within the Heavenly Palace!
Right as he thought of this, Yang Chen looked up at the owner of the old voice and saw that the person was a spiritual soul body, floating in midair, wearing a harmless smile.
But Yang Chen dared not be careless, as the entire Heavenly Palace was filled with prohibitions. Although this elder might not be able to kill him, the restrictions and mechanisms around him would make it incredibly easy to harm him.
Yang Chen clasped his hands, “Junior pays his respects to senior!”
“Hmm, hehe, kid, you’re still quite polite, huh? Hehe, I like it. Well then, let me introduce myself first. This old man’s name is Yu Ban, and I was once one of Tiandu Great Emperor’s servants. But as a servant of the Tiandu Emperor, I was indeed the most loyal, excellent, and trusted!” The old man’s words were filled with pride, as if even being a servant of the Tiandu Emperor was an honor to him.
Yang Chen could not comprehend Yu Ban’s thoughts, but he could guess that the Tiandu Emperor must have been an incomparably great figure, or else Yu Ban would not have worshipped him so much.
“Hmm, you must be wondering why I was so highly valued by the Tiandu Emperor back then. Hehe, to say nothing of the other things, this Heavenly Palace was my masterpiece, and the completion of this entire Treasure Secret Realm, including the prohibition and formation part, was done by me, Yu Ban. It could be said that without me, Yu Ban, it would have been almost impossible for the Emperor to leave behind such a magnificent and vast Secret Realm.” Yu Ban chuckled, “How about it? Are you dumbfounded?”
