CHAPTER 1054: CHAPTER 329: CLIMBING THE IMMORTAL ASCENSION ROAD

Oh, there should be, because there’s no time limit for this stage, you can just climb slowly, it just takes a bit of time.

However, this reward can only be described as generous!

In his opinion, the first reward isn’t actually that enticing, not to mention he won’t need it for now; he believes he can break through to True Immortal without such means. After all, he has the Seven-colored term, and as for that "True Immortal" corpse, he could just have Ba Dan catch an Alien Clan True Immortal for him to kill when the time comes.

As for that "Supreme" Red Entry, the most alluring part of this reward is actually it’s "designatable"!

This means, no matter where you’ve heard or known, if there’s a particularly strong Red Entry, as long as you know the name of this Red Entry, you can own it. Even if you haven’t heard of many Red Entry names, this Red Entry is not entirely random but rather randomized according to your cultivation direction, ensuring there won’t be an unsuitable situation.

One could say it’s the perfect reward.

It’s still a "Supreme" Red Entry, which can pretty much match some of the relatively weaker "Seven-colored terms."

But what truly attracts him is still the "Top-Grade Cultivation Card" rewarded for the steps between the 51st and 100th levels.

For him, the most perfect outcome would be.

Let Ba Dan reach the top, and himself in second place, possessing a Supreme Red Entry, then have Ba Dan’s clansmen and the Chao Tian Sect disciples stand within the 51st to 100th step range, earning enough "Top-Grade Cultivation Cards" for him, that’s the perfect ending!

It’s just...

So far, this stairway hasn’t changed at all in front of him; in other words, his perk hasn’t arrived yet. He also doesn’t know what perk this Secret Realm Artifact Spirit has prepared for him this time.

At this moment, quite a few people have headed towards the Green Stone Square, flying towards the 1024th step.

As Spiritual Energy surged out, many people were already flying on the 1024th step, but they didn’t immediately continue to ascend, instead standing still, probably dealing with the so-called "obstruction."

It’s worth noting that—

The lowest level of this stairway is actually the 1024th step, and the highest level is the 1st step. This is somewhat contrary to common sense, as logically speaking, counting stairs should definitely be from lower numbers to higher numbers, not from higher numbers to lower numbers.

But if you think about it, whether it’s the Immortal Realm or whatever, it’s always from low to high, which might also be a habit in the subconscious of the Heavenly Dao.

Just as Chen Qiu and Ba Dan prepared to fly to the 1024th step and begin their climb of the Immortal Road, they suddenly heard a wave of exclamations from the crowd beside them, and at this moment, Chen Qiu also noticed a huge "Ranking Board" in the sky, visible from any angle with the front of the ranking board visible.

This ranking board also recorded the climbing records in real-time.

The challenge had just begun.

Many people were still watching from the Green Stone Square and carefully examining around the bottom of the stairs to see if there were any mechanisms, when suddenly, on the ranking board, the first place suddenly appeared at the "1019th step"!

This person didn’t even go to the 1023rd step, but directly jumped from the 1024th step to the 1019th step.

"You can skip levels?"

Chen Qiu was slightly stunned, but quickly came to his senses, realizing that this also made sense. Otherwise, they couldn’t really let people climb all 1024 steps by passing one stage at a time, that would purely be torture.

"Let’s go."

He glanced at Ba Dan, then said softly, and with Spiritual Energy surging out, he immediately leaped to the 1024th step, while Ba Dan, full of excitement, nodded heavily and closely followed behind Chen Qiu. Whether they could break through to True Immortal relied on this attempt!

...

The moment he landed on the 1024th step, a cloud-enshrouded panel appeared in front of him.

-

"The 1024th Level Dilemma."

"Randomizing..."

"Randomization complete, the dilemma of this level is ’Life in Desolation,’ where you will challenge puppets of the same Cultivation, the number of puppets is decided by the challenger, determining how many levels you skip upon success based on the number of puppets."

"The minimum number of puppets is 1, the maximum is 1022."

"Upon failure, there will no longer be an opportunity to continue climbing."

"Choose whether to proceed with the challenge."

-

"..."

Chen Qiu’s mouth twitched slightly, he was just pondering what perk the Secret Realm Artifact Spirit had given him, now he knew, it was the "One Step to Immortal" perk.

Damn...

He initially thought this "Climbing the Immortal Road" was a massive undertaking because of the full 1024 stages, and he was prepared to strive for three days and nights. Now, it appears as if he can just go straight to the top as long as he’s willing, next moment?

By defeating 1022 puppets, he could skip 1022 levels, directly reaching the 2nd level.

Just one more level, and he could directly reach the top!

What the hell is this!

If the maximum puppet allowed were 1023, he wouldn’t even need to go to the 2nd step, he could directly reach the 1st step.

Yet to defeat 1022 puppets, the difficulty is...

He spoke no further, silently choosing to proceed with the challenge, and soon found himself in a white space, surrounded by exactly 1022 puppets with Peak Tribulation Crossing Cultivation, aggressively cornering him. For a normal Peak Tribulation Crossing Cultivation challenger, this would be a desperate situation, almost impossible to overcome!

But for him...

The next moment—

Hundreds of Unification Killing Moves "Three Thousand Thunders Move" crashed down with a storm and countless thunderclaps!

The world quieted down.

Not a single puppet was seen, only fragments scattered everywhere, not one puppet could withstand that strike.
