After reaching the fifteenth floor, Leng Yue did not rush to continue climbing upwards. Instead, she stopped, feeling a strange sensation in her heart. She simply closed her eyes and let herself sway left and right on the steps, maintaining an odd posture.
"It seems that the little girl has also grasped the point."
"This one is not bad either."
"This time, we actually recruited two geniuses. It seems that our Xuanwu Academy has finally hit the jackpot this time."
Let's wait and see.
This ladder to heaven has always been hidden deep in the clouds, making it difficult to see clearly. But strangely enough, everyone who takes a step will see a different view.
"The highest level a Venerable One can reach is the eighty-first level, right?"
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since our human race has produced a genius who has reached the level of sixty or above. It's truly lamentable."
"That's true."
These senior experts were still chatting with each other.
The Heavenly Ladder was left behind by the senior masters of the Zhenwu Academy countless years ago, used to test the cultivation and talent of their disciples.
This has always been used as a performance evaluation criterion.
Throughout countless ages, the highest level of ascension to the Heavenly Ladder at the Venerable Realm has been only eighty-one.
That was a peerless genius back then; such a person probably only appears once every million years.
Lu Chen was unaware that he was being watched. He was immersed in this strange feeling and gradually began to understand something.
"Domain! So that's how it is."
Lu Chen's heart stirred, and his Yuan Power instantly emanated from his body. However, on this step, it could only penetrate less than three inches from his body.
He released his elemental power in order to seize control of this space.
The so-called domain is the area around which one controls one's own strength, and then everything there is under one's control.
It can even change direction, alter the oppressive force of space, and even change the fluctuations of space.
This is the power of a domain.
Lu Chen soon had a strange feeling. He felt that he was gradually beginning to have a bit of resistance and was beginning to understand this strange spatial fluctuation.
The Yuan energy within his body gradually merged with this spatial fluctuation, and he discovered that he could control the minute spatial fluctuations within a three-inch range.
"Hold on for me."
Lu Chen manipulated the small space, beginning to resist spatial control from the outside.
Suddenly, Lu Chen felt a sense of ease throughout his body, as if he had instantly gained control of the area within a three-inch radius around him. However, in just a moment, this space was instantly compressed.
Then, everything disappeared.
Lu Chen was thrown to the ground by this terrifying spatial force and rolled down.
Fortunately, Lu Chen reacted in time, withdrew his Yuan Power, and gave up the struggle for control of this space, which made him feel much more relaxed.
"Fortunately, it was only one floor that I fell, and I didn't fall all the way to the last floor."
Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment he was slightly excited.
This means that I seem to have gained some insight into the field.
"This is the domain."
The feeling of controlling the space he had just experienced filled Lu Chen with immense joy, as if he were the only one who mattered in this area.
Lu Chen was unaware that his little insight was nothing special; it was merely a slight increase in his understanding of the domain.
But this progress left all the high-ranking members of the Xuanwu Academy present speechless with astonishment.
"No way? Did I see that wrong?"
"This person has actually already grasped the basics of the domain?"
"Although it is still in its infancy, with this person's talent, he will probably figure it out sooner or later."
"What terrifying talent."
"Let's take another look."
Lu Chen rushed to the twenty-fourth floor once again, but this time, he did not rush to release the domain he had just comprehended. Instead, he calmed down and focused on grasping the insight he had just gained.
Leng Yue did the same. She sat down on the steps and stayed there for a whole day before finally standing up and stepping onto the sixteenth step.
She almost fell at first, but Leng Yue managed to control her body and finally regain her balance.
As for the other six people, they gradually approached the fifteenth floor.
This is a long process, and it's impossible to see results in a short time.
This first ascent of the Heavenly Ladder was indeed a rapid one, but the higher one went, the more difficult it became.
Some people may not be able to climb another level even if they cultivate on this ladder to heaven for ten years.
But some people may suddenly realize something and be able to break through several levels at once.
The key is to grasp the intricacies of it.
Lu Chen and the other eight began to desperately try to comprehend the mysteries of the Heavenly Ladder.
Seeing that everyone was cultivating, the higher-ups of the Xuanwu Academy gradually lost patience and all dispersed.
Only one person was watching silently.
This person is Qingsong.
These were the words left by his senior uncles and elder brothers before they left: once Lu Chen and the others reached a higher level, they must be notified as soon as possible.
Qingsong felt quite helpless about this, but could only report on time.
This test will last for three months. After three months, no matter which step you reach, the trial for that step will be over.
We'll see how things go. The higher you climb, the higher your evaluation will be, and naturally, the treatment you'll receive after entering the Xuanwu Academy will also vary.
