For a time, the two fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand!

Liu Xiling blinked repeatedly. She knew that her strength was inferior to the two, but such a wonderful battle was hard to come by, so she immediately began to observe and look for the subtleties of their fight.

After a while, they met again.

Ye Feng, wielding the Heavenly Sword, continuously prodded the spear, then approached Li Changkong step by step, actually gaining some advantage!

The spear, which was originally a long weapon, was undoubtedly inferior in this situation.

Li Changkong, however, remained calm and composed, firmly planted his stance, and thrust repeatedly at Ye Feng. Then, he unleashed his exquisite spear technique once more, his spear moving like flowing water, gradually forming an impenetrable defense!

Night Wind's attacks were blocked one by one. On the surface, Night Wind had the upper hand, but anyone with discerning eyes could see that the two were evenly matched, one attacking and the other defending, each with their own brilliant moves!

Just as the two were locked in a fierce and evenly matched fight.

A powerful bell suddenly rang out, its majestic sound drowning out the sounds of fighting and spreading throughout the entire Three-Foot Immortal Platform!

Liu Xiling's eyes flashed repeatedly as she said, "It's about to begin!"

Ye Feng and Li Changkong also stopped their attacks in perfect unison, and then looked up at the Heavenly Immortal Sect!

At that moment, a crisp sound rang out from the Heavenly Immortal Sect.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, the Heavenly Gate slowly opened, and then a large amount of radiant light surged out. It seemed to be consciously rotating rapidly, and then flowed freely within the three-foot-high platform.

Through the gap in the celestial gate, everyone was immediately greeted by an incredibly magnificent sight!

A massive golden staircase stretched out in rows, leading upwards to the avenue leading to the sun. Bathed in a magnificent and holy light, everything appeared so mysterious and grand.

Ye Feng stepped forward, staring blankly at the scene before him. He looked up, but could not see the end of the golden steps. Each step was more than a person's height, and it looked as if it was not made for humans at all!

It's meant for true immortals!

"This is the Ascension Platform?" Liu Xiling blinked, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Legend has it that as long as you climb to the top of this Ascension Platform, you can see the true gate to immortality, and by crossing that gate, you can become an immortal!"

"What!" Ye Feng exclaimed in utter shock, "There's actually a door up there!"

With his hands behind his back, Li Changkong had lost all will to fight. His eyes were fixed on the Ascension Platform, its top obscured by the celestial glow and sunlight, and he said greedily, "This is wonderful. I want to see what's up there. If it's an immortal, I'll pull him down; if it's a god, I'll kill him!"

"I want the whole world to know that this era belongs to Li Changkong!"

The words fell.

The ancient and profound sound of the bell rang out once again.

At this point, the Heavenly Immortal Gate had been fully opened, and people could come and go as they pleased.

Without hesitation, Li Changkong swung his robe and stepped forward, arriving at the golden steps that were as tall as a person. He snorted coldly, dispersing the floating clouds in front of him, and then jumped with all his might, easily landing on the first golden step!

Suddenly, Ye Feng keenly noticed that Li Changkong's pores seemed to be trembling, and even his movements were clearly encountering some kind of resistance, with his speed and strength being greatly weakened.

"What's going on?" Ye Feng was taken aback.

Liu Xiling, who was standing to the side, explained: "According to the elders, every time you climb a golden step on this Ascension Platform, you will feel a powerful pressure. This pressure will not only suppress your spiritual power and realm, but also suppress your physical body. The higher you go, the stronger it becomes."

"According to current statistics, the most powerful one, the Azure Sword Immortal from a hundred years ago, only climbed ninety-five floors. However, according to him, it felt like carrying a mountain on his back with a mortal body, and the pressure was enough to leave no room for anyone to catch their breath."

"Even if you climb to the ninety-fifth floor, the top of the Ascension Platform is still a long way off, with no end in sight!"

These words were spoken.

Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine. He had already seen the Azure Sword Immortal outside earlier. He was so powerful that even the most talented and brilliant people couldn't pass through him. So what made him think he could?

At this moment, the voice of the Immortal Demon Palace suddenly rang out: "Although I cannot say much, Master, this Ascension Platform is of boundless value to you. As for what that girl said, there is no need to compare, because everyone is different and faces different challenges."

Believe that you are always stronger than others, stay true to yourself, and stick to your path.

"A true strong person is one who can overcome any predicament and never give up!"

The night breeze was reminded of its arrival here.

The Immortal Demon Palace then fell silent.

Ye Feng knew that this three-foot platform had a great suppressive effect on the Immortal Demon Palace, and that too much interference from it could have very serious consequences, so he did not ask the Immortal Demon Palace about anything else.

Because the words of the Immortal Demon Palace had already made him realize the truth.

Ye Feng took a deep breath and then said to Liu Xiling, "Aren't you going?"

"Of course I'll go!" Liu Xiling snorted. "I know my own limitations, and I'm wearing a skirt today. If I climb faster than you, I'll be completely exposed! So I'll be the last one to climb!"

That makes sense.

Ye Feng didn't say anything more, but quickly walked forward and arrived at the Ascension Platform.

At this moment, Li Changkong had already climbed to the fourth step, a speed that was extremely fast even among all those who had climbed the Ascension Platform.

Without hesitation, Ye Feng pushed off with both feet and jumped onto the first golden step. Suddenly, it was as if a huge weight had fallen from the sky and landed on Ye Feng. A powerful pressure instantly hit him, making him tense up and his body subconsciously exert its strength.

"Is that the oppressive force over here?!" Ye Feng gritted his teeth and barely took a step forward, which made a huge noise. On ordinary ground, this force would have created a big crater long ago, but the golden steps did not budge!

"Hold on!" Ye Feng completely relaxed his mind and focused all his consciousness on activating his body. He quickly arrived at the second step and then used all his strength to leap up. This height was just enough to surpass the second golden step!

"I never imagined that I would get this tired from climbing stairs!"

Night Wind muttered a complaint to himself before earnestly beginning to climb.

Seeing that the two had already set off, Liu Xiling dared to step forward and climb up using her body.
