C1094 The Seven Divine Empresses
To put it bluntly, most of the cultivators who made it to the top of the ladder were geniuses who made it to the top of the Prodigy Roll.
Ling Jian was only in the late stage of the Indian Realm. How could he enter the Genius List with such a cultivation?
What else could it be?
After all, even someone as strong as the Scion of Blood didn't have the strength to be ranked on the Genius rankings when his cultivation had just entered the late stages of the Heavenly Retribution Realm.
Apart from Zhao Qiansong and company, everyone else looked at Ling Jian with playful eyes.
Ling Jian acted like he didn't hear the mockery from the others. He wasn't affected at all.
He just looked at Nalan Mingyue. His eyes were indifferent as if he was waiting for something.
Nalan Mingyue looked at Ling Jian. To be honest, even she herself didn't believe Ling Jian when he said he was going to take her up the ladder.
However, when he saw Ling Jian's calm eyes, it made him feel a bit lost. He didn't know why, but he actually believed that Ling Jian really had such capability.
"Fine. I believe it."
The corner of Nalan Mingyue's mouth curled up at this moment. Her slender fingers reached in front of Ling Jian.
The cultivators of the East District were all mocking Ling Jian.
However, after what Nalan Mingyue did, their faces turned stiff.
They didn't expect Ling Jian to be so crazy. They didn't expect Nalan Mingyue to make the same choice.
"Mingyue, don't believe this brat's nonsense. How is it possible for him to be on the Genius rankings with such a low cultivation?"
Zhao Qiansong was the first to speak at this moment.
Especially when his gaze fell upon Ling Jian's hand that was holding Nalan Mingyue's hand, he felt a feeling of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
She and Nalan Mingyue had known each other for so long, but they had never been treated like this.
Ling Jian was only a cultivator in the late stage of the Heavenly Judgment Stage, and he was from the East Sky. What kind of nuclear power was that?
"Zhao Qiansong, you don't need to say anything more. No matter what, I am going to try it this time."
Nalan Mingyue smiled at Zhao Qiansong. After which, she turned her head and looked over. After which, she looked back at Ling Jian.
The smile on her face became even brighter, and she smiled at Ling Jian, "Ling Jian, let's begin. I want to see if you are lying to me or not!"
Ling Jian slightly shook his head and didn't say anything. However, at this moment, the spiritual wings on his back suddenly appeared.
In front of Zhao Qiansong and the others, Ling Jian's next move made everyone stunned. He actually reached out his hand and held Nalan Mingyue's slim waist, making her whole body snuggle in his arms.
Such an action immediately made Nalan Mingyue's pretty face turn extremely red. This was the first time in her life that she had such contact with a cultivator of the opposite sex.
At this moment, she was snuggling in Ling Jian's arms. Although it wasn't very wide, it gave people a comfortable and safe feeling.
On the side, Zhao Qiansong knocked on Nalan Mingyue's blushing face. The way he looked at Ling Jian instantly became incomparably fierce.
Everybody in the east of the city knew how much he liked Nalan Mingyue. Yet now Ling Jian had slapped him right in front of him.
"Ling Jian, let go of me."
Zhao Qiansong spoke with a hoarse voice. His tone was full of anger.
However, Ling Jian didn't care about that. At the moment, he was looking up at the ladder. He didn't hesitate at all. He just jumped up to the sky.
- Shoot! -
The sound of the wind was rushing out. It wasn't loud, but the sound was clear in everyone's ears.
Ling Jian held Nalan Mingyue in his arms and flew towards the ladder.
At this moment, at the foot of the Pathfinder Ladder, there were many other cultivators who could not climb the Pathfinder Ladder. They were all the same group of cultivators who had failed after trying to climb the Pathfinder Ladder.
At this moment, they were all extremely surprised when they saw Ling Jian carrying Nalan Mingyue and rushing towards the Dao Verification Ladder.
However, they couldn't help but shake their heads and gloat.
"Hmm? Isn't that Ling Jian? Is he going to climb the Stairway to Dao?"
"That's impossible, right? His cultivation is only at the late stage of the Heavenly Judgment Realm, yet he actually wants to climb the Dao Verification Stairway. Are you sure that this kid isn't some madman?"
"That is nothing. Do you see? He seems to be carrying someone in his arms. Is he going to climb up the ladder with someone in his arms?"
"What a joke! To bring someone up the ladder, he has to bear twice the pressure. He may not be able to get up the ladder himself, yet he is going to bring someone with him."
"That's right. This kid really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He might not even be able to succeed himself, yet he still wants to do something that will attract people's attention!"
"It doesn't matter. We just need to watch him make a fool of himself."
It could be said that there was not a single cultivator around the ladder who thought that Ling Jian would succeed.
Thus, many pairs of eyes instantly fell on Ling Jian and Nalan Mingyue. There was even a hint of playfulness in their eyes.
In the sky, after sensing the gazes of the crowd, Nalan Mingyue instantly became even more bashful. At this moment, in Ling Jian's embrace, she felt her entire body become incomparably hot.
Ling Jian didn't care about it at all. As he got higher and higher, he felt the pressure from the ladder on his body.
"Ling Jian, if you can't do it, just let me go. If you try it alone, you should have a better chance to succeed."
Nalan Mingyue also felt the pressure from the Dao Verification Stairway begin to descend. Her expression couldn't help but change as she spoke to Ling Jian.
Ling Jian only smiled faintly. Although the pressure from the Stairway of Dao wasn't small, it wasn't enough for him.
At this moment, as Ling Jian was getting higher and higher, the cultivators below were all looking at him with interest. Apparently, they were all waiting to see Ling Jian make a fool of himself.
Among them, the cultivators in the east were the same. They were looking at Ling Jian's back, and at the same time, they were starting to imagine the possibility of Ling Jian's failure.
However, just when they thought Ling Jian was going to fail, Ling Jian didn't do so. Under the watch of the crowd, the sword was like a sharp sword. It flew up to the sky and landed on the top of the ladder.
At that moment, the space around them seemed to freeze.
The cultivators below the ladder of Dao Validation were all petrified when they saw what happened. They were extremely quiet.
At this moment, they couldn't help but look at the Dao Verification Ladder floating about a thousand meters in the air.
They felt as if their hearts had suffered a huge blow.
What did they see?
Ling Jian was actually carrying Nalan Mingyue and finally successfully climbed up the Dao Verification Ladder.
Ling Jian was only in the late stage of the Heavenly Judgment Stage. That was fine. However, he actually climbed up the ladder with a man.
Since when did the suppression on the Stairway to Dao Actualization become such a joke?
At this moment, the faces of Zhao Qiansong and the other cultivators in the east of the city all turned red. They didn't know what to say.
What could they say?
They had tried to wait for the Stairway of Dao Verification before, but they all failed.
Ling Jian said he was going to take Nalan Mingyue up the Stairway to Dao.
They didn't take it seriously at all. They even couldn't help but laugh at Ling Jian, thinking that he was overestimating himself.
However, it seemed they were the overconfident ones. Ling Jian had just slapped them hard. That was all.
Not to mention the fact that Ling Jian had carried Nalan Mingyue up to the top of the stairs, Ling Jian was alone. As long as he could truly climb up the ladder, it was enough to show that Ling Jian's talent and strength had reached an astonishing level.
Apparently, Ling Jian's talent and potential were something they couldn't compare with. Compared to them, Ling Jian had far surpassed them.
"Is this Ling Jian really just a cultivator from the East Sky?"
That was the only thought in the minds of the cultivators in the east of the city. Before this, they couldn't help laughing at Ling Jian. They thought Ling Jian was overestimating himself. Now it seemed they were more short-sighted.
Compared to the cultivators below the Dao Verification Stairs, after Ling Jian and Nalan Mingyue landed on the Dao Verification Stairs.
Many of the cultivators that had climbed the Dao Verification Stairs were stunned.
The geniuses who had climbed up earlier couldn't help but frown when they saw Ling Jian's figure.
Not far away, Huo Jun was also stunned when he saw Ling Jian. After that, he couldn't help but frown.
She never would have thought that Ling Jian would be able to reach the level of a half-Saint just by being in the late stage of the Heavenly Judgment Realm.
Yin Huan had the same thought in the bottom of her heart, and then her eyes were fixed on Ling Jian, as if she wanted to see through him.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see it. At this moment, Ling Jian seemed like an ordinary cultivator among the crowd. There was still a big difference between him and the real geniuses.
"Ling Jian, Mingyue, why are you two here?"
Nalan Yanran was also slightly startled. Clearly, she did not expect that Ling Jian and Nalan Mingyue would also appear on the ladder of the righteous path. It could be said that even she felt extremely surprised by this scene that had occurred.
It wouldn't be difficult for her to reach the top of the ladder with Nalan Mingyue, but Ling Jian was able to do it. Besides, he was only at the peak of the Heavenly Judgment Realm. It would be difficult for her to reach the top of the ladder, not to mention taking a person with her.
In fact, after such a situation occurred, not only Nalan Yanran, but even the other cultivators present were also shocked by Nalan Yanran's words.
Not only was she able to climb to the top of the ladder, but she also brought a person with her?
Even if you counted all the cultivators who had climbed the Pathfinder Ladder, the only ones who had the ability to do so were those who were at the top of the list of geniuses.
Ling Jian, on the other hand, was only at the late stage of the Heavenly Judgment Stage.
"Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect that you, who is only in the late stage of the Heavenly Retribution Stage, could actually lead people to the top of the ladder of the righteous path. I really like you."
At this moment, a faint voice came from the top of the Pathfinder Ladder. Upon hearing this, all the cultivators on the Pathfinder Ladder trembled violently and looked in one direction.
It was because the person who spoke was the Blood God.
One had to know that the Scion of the Blood Sea was the strongest person under the Saint level in the Blood Sea Sect, and not many people in the entire Genius rankings could obtain the recognition of the Scion of the Blood Sea.
Now, the Blood God's Son had personally said the words' spiritual sword of the heart '. It was obvious that in his eyes, he had completely approved of Ling Jian's talent.
Such appreciation was, in fact, a great honor to Ling Jian.
"Well, that is a good gift, but now that you are on the top of the Pathfinder, you must accept the challenge of any one above us!"
Another voice sounded. It was none other than Yin Huan, who had a grudge with Ling Jian.
If it was a normal cultivator, it wouldn't be a problem for him to climb up the ladder.
However, Ling Jian had obviously offended Yin Huan and Huo Jun before this. Now that Ling Jian was on the ladder, it would be easy for Yin Huan and Huo Jun to challenge Ling Jian when the Dao Verification Assembly started. There would be no problem at all.
Nalan Yanran was also clearly aware of this point. Her expression changed slightly when she saw this. She hurriedly looked at Ling Jian and said, "Ling Jian, hurry up and go down. This righteous path is not a place that you should come to."
"This time around, I have come for the Dao Verification Conference. Since I have already come up, I will naturally not go down."
Ling Jian revealed his white teeth to Nalan Yanran. After saying these words, his body turned around and he sat cross-legged beside Nalan Yanran.
Nalan Yanran's eyes also glanced at Ling Jian without prior agreement. From the way she saw it, this Ling Jian was clearly a little arrogant. Such an attitude was really a little arrogant.
"It is unexpected that this brother Ling Jian has such a big tone despite his young age!"
Seeing that Ling Jian really had no intention of going down, Huo Jun also grinned and spoke sarcastically to Ling Jian, "Looking at you, don't tell me you are going to fight for the next ten quotas to enter the Heavenly Lake of Dao Validation?"
Huo Jun was just joking. Although Huo Jun was impressed by Ling Jian's performance, there were only ten people who could enter the Heavenly Pond of Dao Verification to cultivate every time the Dao Verification Conference started.
With such a huge number of spots, it was impossible for it to be the spiritual sword's turn.
However, what Jean Huo Jun didn't expect was that after she finished speaking, Ling Jian, who was standing beside her, said, "You are right. I am here to enter the Heavenly Pond of Dao Validation."
The crowd became quiet because of what Ling Jian said.
The cultivators all looked at Ling Jian in astonishment. They were all shocked by Ling Jian's tone.
He dared to imagine where he got his confidence from after entering the Heavenly Pond of Dao Verification.
This time, even the gaze of the Scion of the Blood God kept falling on Ling Jian.
Even cultivators at the late stages of the Heavenly Judgment Realm wanted to cultivate in the Dao Verification Heavenly Lake?
[I don't think he would dare to talk to me like that, would he?]
Huo Jun hadn't expected Ling Jian to speak like this either. His expression froze for a moment, and then he looked at Ling Jian once again. However, this time, his gaze had become incomparably cold.
Originally, even if Ling Jian was here, he wouldn't care too much about what happened earlier. However, after what he said earlier, he could feel that Ling Jian didn't give him any face at all. Since that was the case, she wouldn't give Ling Jian any face when the Dao Verification Assembly truly started.
"Ling Jian, shut up."
Nalan Yanran's expression also changed drastically. She hurriedly glared at Ling Jian.
Even at this moment, she had similarly sensed the intense arrogance contained within Ling Jian's words.
At this moment, everybody could see that both the Fire Country and Yin Huan wanted to kill Ling Jian.
Nalan Yanran clearly intended to protect Ling Jian. However, under such circumstances, she would definitely appear a little weak.
Of course, the most important point was that Nalan Yanran still felt that this Ling Jian was really too good at causing trouble. Regardless of whether it was Huo Jun or Yin Huan, both of them were experts of the younger generation of the Grand Middle Territory.
Ordinary people would not dare to offend such a genius. However, in front of Ling Jian, he had completely offended the two of them.
However, Ling Jian didn't really care about it. He knew that he might have offended the two great geniuses, but he didn't feel affected at all.
It was true that both the Fire Country and the Silver Hoop could be considered experts of the younger generation. However, Ling Jian's position had long since exceeded the scope of the younger generation. Even the most powerful of them all, the Scion of the Blood God, was still a far cry from him.
To other cultivators, there was no doubt that the first place would belong to the Scion of the Blood God. However, to Ling Jian, since his appearance, the first place belonged to him.
"He's so young and arrogant."
Not far away, Corpse Mountain, who was covered in black smoke, also grinned. No one knew what he meant.
Lei Shan from the Lightning Sea Sect didn't change much. He still put his hands together and looked at Ling Jian one more time before looking away.
"Ling Jian, I'm warning you one last time. If you still want to live, go down immediately."
Nalan Yanran stared intently at Ling Jian. Although her tone was not very friendly at this moment, the concern in her words was quite obvious.
Ling Jian was naturally clearly aware of this point. However, it was clearly impossible for him to be allowed to leave just like this.
Therefore, Ling Jian merely smiled at Nalan Yanran and did not say anything.
Nalan Yanran's eyes were filled with fury when she saw this scene. However, Ling Jian was currently unable to go down. She had no other choice but to allow Ling Jian to sit beside her.
"Ke ke, looks like there will be quite a lot of excitement in this Dao Verification Meeting."
"There will be quite a lot of excitement."
At that moment, a loud voice came from the sky, and everyone looked up. Then they saw a figure come and stop at various points around the Pathfinder Ladder.
There were a total of seven powerful cultivators, and three of them were old men. The old man's clothes were the same, and he was from the Dao Verification Villa.
As for the other four powerful cultivators, one of them was a middle-aged man, the other was a golden-robed man, a white-haired old woman, and a monk.
Needless to say, it wasn't hard for many people to guess that this monk was the Clan Master of the Lightning Sea Sect.
As for the old woman with the white hair, although she looked older and her hair was gray, her clothes were quite luxurious. When she was watching the Dao Verification Assembly, her eyes were mostly focused on the Fire County. She happened to be an expert from the Fire County.
The remaining middle-aged man and the golden-robed woman. The man's aura was extremely sinister. Although it didn't have the symbol of a mountain of corpses, one could tell from this aura that this person was the sect master of the Corpse Puppet Sect.
The woman in the gold medal could be eliminated from the list of those who didn't know her. She must be from the Yin Huan Sect.
At this moment, seven people from seven powerful sects showed up at a place in the Dao Verification Assembly. Although they were all in different ages and dressed differently, the powerful aura they gave off showed that they had reached the late stage of the Saint Level.
At the sight of the seven late stage Saints, whether it was the top cultivators on the Pathfinder Stairs or the prodigies below the Pathfinder Stairs, all of them had serious expressions on their faces.
Even a powerful existence like the Scion of the Blood God had a rather solemn expression as he looked at these figures. The original overbearingness and disdain in his eyes had now become much more respectful.
As for the other cultivators, there was no need to talk about them. At this moment, they all looked at the figures in the sky. While their hearts were filled with respect, they also felt a great pressure.
After all, a cultivator in the late stage of the Saint Origin Stage was one of the most powerful figures in the entire Middle Sky. The Saint Origin Stage cultivator hadn't shown up yet, but now there were seven of them.
It was the first time for many cultivators to see such a scene.
For example, at this moment, all of the cultivators in the easternmost part of the city were looking at these seven powerful late stage Saints. One could imagine the awe in their eyes, and even the older brother felt his heart tremble.
After all, there were less than seven Saint Origin Stage cultivators in the east of the city.
It was their first time to witness such a grand event.
Nalan Yanran's expression was a little lonely when she saw the seven experts at the late stage of the Saint realm appear in the sky.
After all, none of the seven late stage Saints had come from the east side of the city, so it was easy to see how small their position was in the entire Middle Sky.
After the shock caused by the appearance of the seven late stage Saints, the battle on the Pathfinder Ladder began.0
Huo Jun and Yin Huan both looked at Ling Jian with cold eyes.
