High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily Chapter 286 - 165: Crossing the 12 Immortal Gates Like Level

Pop.

In the midst of it all, Chen Kuang heard a faint sound, like breaking through a thin barrier.

His pupils contracted, and he instantly understood.

He broke through to the Ninth Level of Tower Climb!

Opposite him, Jiang Yunqing naturally sensed this change as well. After a mont of silence, he said:

"Well... it wasn’t really necessary to be so fast."

Chen Kuang awkwardly laughed, making a joke:

"Uh... I was just at the bottleneck. This Pinggu Battlefield is indeed extraordinary, just a short ti in and I’ve already broken through."

Previously, under the guidance of a Saint, he had risen after a fall and reached the eighth level of Tower Climb. After entering the Pinggu Battlefield, the Spiritual Qi within him remained highly active almost constantly, enhancing the passive efficiency of the "Fetal Breathing Technique."

It was only in this extrely short ti that he directly broke through to the ninth level of Tower Climb.

But at this mont, Chen Kuang felt sothing amiss.

Within his Divine Sense, the illusory palace that had been shrouded in mist, concealing the tiered steps, now revealed the nine steps connected to the platform before the palace.

He had a vague premonition that as long as he stepped onto it, he could enter the palace within.

In other words, he would advance to the Sea Breaking Realm.

However, generally speaking, one should cross twelve steps at the Tower Ascension Realm... For normal people, Tower Ascension Realm has twelve distinct stages.

From mortal to immortal, it is the last three steps that are the most challenging. If one’s aptitude is insufficient, these three brief steps beco an insurmountable chasm!

It is for this reason that so many linger in the late stage of Tower Ascension, unable to break through for a long ti.

But for Chen Kuang... the last three steps were simply gone.

No, not gone.

With a surprised expression, Chen Kuang carefully sensed and discovered that the last three steps were not gone but... leveled.

Indeed, those three steps were not steps but had rged with the palace’s front platform, becoming flat paving stones.

Chen Kuang vaguely felt that as long as he could break through the ninth level of Tower Climb, these last three steps would be like walking on flat ground for him.

"What does this an? My talent is already off the charts, so even celestial immortals have to sweep the floor to welco ?"

Chen Kuang muttered to himself.

This kind of thing should truly be unheard of.

Even Shen Xingzhu, although never encountering any bottleneck, seems to have honestly climbed all twelve steps.

Upon thinking again, Chen Kuang found it entirely reasonable.

From his transmigration to this world until now, it had only been a month, and before this, the original owner of this body was a true mortal without cultivation experience.

Within a month, from a mortal to the peak of the Seventh Grade Tower Ascension Realm.

Such talent is indeed enough to be labeled off the charts!

Chen Kuang now realized that the passive nature of the "Fetal Breathing Technique" might truly be a bug.

Endlessly cultivating ans never encountering stagnation in progress.

Because if a bottle of water is already full, naturally, it cannot hold more.

But "Fetal Breathing Technique" ensures that as long as Chen Kuang is alive and breathing, he continually absorbs and exhales Spiritual Qi, requiring "exhale" to be paired with "inhale."

No wonder he felt that his cultivation never seed to encounter obstacles.

Seeing his odd expression, Jiang Yunqing asked, "Did you notice sothing unusual?"

Chen Kuang shook his head, "Just adapting to the new level."

He turned to Shen inan and softly asked, "What happened here?"

Shen inan glanced at the vast, empty Hall of Dao and Virtue, "Nothing happened... When I arrived, there was already no one here, not a trace of presence."

Chen Kuang took a deep breath.

The absence of events is the greatest event!

The Mystic God Daoist Sect is facing an assault from Bitean Celestial Palace, countless disciples have perished, the situation is dire, how can the upper echelons have no reaction?

Even more terrifying, it’s not just silence but an absence of people altogether!

Sothing must have happened... What could possibly cause the entire upper echelons of the Mystic God Daoist Sect to vanish?

Chen Kuang looked towards the Observatory Platform above and said sternly, "Where is the Celestial Saint Daoist Monarch?"

Shen inan shook her head, "Not here... but I inquired with a few core disciples before I ca, and was told that he had left so ti ago, his whereabouts unknown."

"Additionally, my master is at the rear of Bitean Celestial Palace, battling fiercely with the Pavilion Master Jichenzi."

Chen Kuang’s heart sank.

This ans that the upper combat power of the entire Mystic God Daoist Sect now only consists of a Half-step Saint Earth Spirit Daoist Monarch and Southern Daoist Monarch Li Huai in the sky.

Who is also Shen Xingzhu’s master, "Qingpingzi," Lv Zhexiong.

Even though, during this ti, she didn’t know Shen Xingzhu at all.

Chen Kuang quickly walked through the entire hall, and oddly enough, not a trace of presence was left behind.

The Daoist Monarchs who were supposed to be stationed in the Hall of Dao and Virtue were now all missing...

"It seems we’ll have to wait for the return of the Earth Spirit Daoist Monarch to make plans."

Chen Kuang and the others reached the edge of the Hall of Dao and Virtue, where several large windows opened, offering a clear view of the entire battlefield.

Standing beside Chen Kuang, Jiang Yunqing suddenly lowered his volu and said:

"If your cultivation is sufficient, you’ll have to watch out for passing the Earth Spirit Daoist Monarch’s challenge. It’s said that she suffered heartbreak early on and has been searching for that heartless person, harboring great dislike for n, and she has no male disciples under her."

How do you know such gossip?

This isn’t very sword cultivator-like.

Chen Kuang looked at Jiang Yunqing with a helpless smile. If it wasn’t for the latter’s serious tone, he would have thought this was so unreliable hearsay.

He was about to say more when he saw Jiang Yunqing’s expression tighten as if he saw sothing, revealing a look of horror.

Chen Kuang abruptly lifted his head and saw that incomprehensibly terrifying scene.

His pupils contracted, "What is that?!"

"Canliao! It can only be a Canliao Mighty One!"

Jiang Yunqing took a deep breath, looking at the white-robed figure dressed like a priest, and affird, "That person is Wen Yao, and he’s using the Heavy Pupil Ancestral Call!"

He explained, "Wen Yao possesses heavy pupils and has an Innate Divine Power known as ’Ancestral Call.’ It is said that he can trace back through his bloodline to summon an ancestor to descend and possess him. At the furthest, he can trace back to ancient tis!"

"If fully exerted, the power is imasurable."

"Because in ancient tis... the Canliao Realm was not yet extinct, and it’s said there was a Canliao ancestor in the Wen Family’s ancestry. He could potentially summon this ancestor to descend upon himself."

"But with his current cultivation, he should only be able to trace back a maximum of two thousand years. How could he trace back to ancient tis..."

In Chen Kuang’s mind, thoughts flooded, finally settling on the Dao Rhy of the Martial Saint.

Why... would the Martial Saint have the first battlefield unquestionably entered, arranged here?

Two thousand years... The battle between the Mystic God Daoist Sect and Bitean Celestial Palace indeed falls within two thousand years.

As soon as Wen Yao entered the battlefield, he must have used the "Heavy Pupil Ancestral Call" Divine Power.

The golden light Chen Kuang saw back then was the vision of him using the Divine Power.

In other words, Wen Yao has been in an Ancestral Call state since entering the Pinggu Battlefield.

He must have a compelling reason to do so.

Chen Kuang suddenly rembered that in the Void Illusion Realm, due to his identity as a transmigrator, he was unable to integrate with the illusion’s deduction, resulting in a simultaneous existence with the original body’s corpse.

Could a similar chanism exist in this illusion-like Pinggu Battlefield?

Like lightning flashing through his mind, a clearer idea suddenly leapt into his eyes.

"What if... Wen Yao, through ’Ancestral Call,’ summoned an ancestor with heavy pupils to possess himself."

"And then, using the identity and cultivation of this ancestor as a springboard, perford ’Ancestral Call’ again?!"

Chen Kuang suddenly turned and asked, "From ancient tis to present, has there only been Wen Yao with heavy pupils?"

Jiang Yunqing was startled, then imdiately understood, shaking his head, "Not only!"

His expression shook, "Moreover, there just so happened to be one in the forr Bitean Celestial Palace!"

Wow, this is really exploiting a bug!

Chen Kuang looked at Jiang Yunqing and asked, "What if this person is surnad Wen?"

Jiang Yunqing remained silent for a mont, then said, "Heavy pupils overlaying, combined with the support of the Pinggu Battlefield... could summon Canliao!"
