Back when Gu Jian was accompanying her in cultivating the Nine Heavens Dance, Gu Jian was injured time and time again, wounded by her.

But he said that her Nine Heavens Dance was still a little lacking.

She remembered feeling very unconvinced at the time, but she still said to Gu Jian, "Gu Jian, tell me quickly, what exactly is the difference?"

Young Gu Jian smiled bitterly, "Mengyao, I'm sorry, you'll have to figure this out yourself."

"Hmph! Saying that is the same as not saying anything at all. If you don't know, you don't know. Why pretend?"

Su Mengyao only remembers being extremely angry at the time.

What angered Su Mengyao even more was that Gu Jian not only didn't say anything, but also gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Su Mengyao still remembers that in the days that followed, Gu Jian said he would take her to find inspiration and wanted to help her master the essence of the Nine Heavens Dance.

He accompanied her on her sightseeing trip.

He deliberately made eye contact with her, trying to get closer to her.

However, every time Gu Jian was about to touch her hand, Su Mengyao avoided it.

She finally questioned him, asking why he always tried to take advantage of her.

Su Mengyao remembered that Gu Jian remained silent for a long time before saying that he wanted to help her comprehend the essence of the Nine Heavens Dance.

But she scoffed, "Can you really grasp the essence just by touching someone's hand?"

He's clearly just a lecher.

She found her lecherous fiancé increasingly distasteful.

In the end, she scolded him severely and punished him by forbidding him from contacting her for a month.

He was not allowed to touch her without her permission, or he would break off the relationship with her.

"You've disturbed my Daoist mind!"

Su Mengyao snorted coldly.

Her fiancé, who had already divorced her in that way, was still on her mind.

That's truly unforgivable.

But then, Su Mengyao became somewhat lost in thought.

Because, at the same time, I thought of Gu Jian, and I also thought of Li Bai.

The two figures slowly overlapped in her mind.

What followed were their words.

Li Taibai's expression was icy. "How could you possibly unleash the full power of the Nine Heavens Dance if you haven't even grasped its essence?"

Gu Jian's expression was cold: "Su Mengyao, without me, you cannot awaken your immortal body."

Two voices kept echoing in her mind, like inner demons.

Su Mengyao felt her Dao heart becoming increasingly unstable.

She retorted coldly, "How could I not have grasped the essence of the Nine Heavens Dance?"

“I mastered it long ago, and my Dao heart is as firm as a rock.”

"This is an illusion from the Heavenly Ladder; the Heavenly Ladder doesn't want me to awaken my immortal body!"

"I will definitely awaken my immortal body!"

"Get out of my way, you're disturbing my Daoist mind!"

Su Mengyao slowly stood up, and the voice in her mind gradually disappeared.

Then, she leaped up and performed the Nine Heavens Dance again to continue climbing!

However, we haven't reached the sixty-fifth step yet.

A terrifying force came crashing down on us.

ah!

Su Mengyao screamed and was thrown into the air.

This time, she was lucky and didn't fall directly down the Heavenly Ladder.

But he was also thrown down to the fiftieth step.

The experts of the Spirit Control Sect were astonished by this scene.

The elders and powerful figures of the Tianyao Sect were incredulous.

Has Saintess Su failed again?

But she is clearly so talented.

It's not even as good as last time?!

The experts of the Spirit Control Sect were astonished.

At this moment, many people began to whisper among themselves.

"It seems the legend is true; once you fail on the Heavenly Ladder, it's a permanent failure."

"If he cannot gain the approval of the Heavenly Ladder, the Heavenly Ladder will prevent him from continuing to climb."

"Each time you fail, the difficulty of climbing again increases several times over."

"..."

A series of sounds rang out.

The elders of the Tianyao Sect looked even more grim.

Even Liu Ruyan frowned, unable to help but feel some sympathy for Su Mengyao.

Su Mengyao heard these sounds and her face turned pale.

However, she was absolutely unwilling to accept this.

We will never give up.

Su Mengyao took out a pill from her bosom and swallowed it.

As her injuries gradually healed, she slowly stood up from the Heavenly Ladder.

She was extremely beautiful, with a dreamlike appearance like a fairy from heaven.

No matter where they stand, they are the most eye-catching focus.

However, her complexion was not good.

Just as she was about to lift her foot, she felt a terrifying pressure and repulsion emanating from the Heavenly Ladder.

It was as if the moment she lifted her foot, she would be thrown away by the Heavenly Ladder.

"How could this be? I am the most outstanding prodigy of the Tianyao Sect in a thousand years."

"How could there be so much pressure?"

"Why doesn't the Heavenly Ladder recognize me?!"

"No matter how much pressure I'm under, I can overcome it."

"Nine Heavens Dance, dancing across the nine heavens!"

Su Mengyao gave a cold shout, and her body radiated a starlight-like brilliance.

That was the manifestation of the Astral Body.

She infused the power of the Starlight Holy Body into the Nine Heavens Dance, then leaped up and soared to a higher place.

Empowered by the Starlight Sacred Body, Su Mengyao was like a celestial butterfly from the upper realm, radiating a dreamlike light that dazzled and captivated all who beheld her.

However, just as she ascended two celestial ladders, another immense force struck.

This force is even more terrifying than before.

It struck Su Mengyao's body with almost overwhelming force.

boom!

The starlight behind Su Mengyao shattered.

With a scream, Su Mengyao spat out a mouthful of blood, her delicate body falling from the sky like a butterfly with broken wings.
