Ye Feng's divine eye possesses "divine power," and if it were to be used for observation without restraint, it could potentially affect the operation of the Heavenly Ladder.
Disturbing the ascent is a minor matter, but if it affects the barrier of the Chaotic Star Sea, then it would truly be a case of losing more than one gains.
"It seems that this time, the dozen or so eighth-level sect slots are confirmed!"
Liu Tiejun looked at the dozen or so people at the front and said with a smile,
"The one at the very front, his name is Lei Diling, I even invited him..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone started talking and offering their own comments.
"The third one should be Wang Ma. I heard he even fought against Chu Tiancheng of the Qi Yu Sect."
"These rogue immortal cultivators, who usually hide somewhere, have all come out now that the Heavenly Ladder has opened."
...
The Heavenly Ladder spans hundreds of miles in circumference, and tens of millions of cultivators have climbed it.
Only a little over a hundred people have reached the first platform so far.
Upon ascending the steps, spiritual energy gathered in the sky, and "tokens" appeared out of thin air.
These tokens were merely faint white light; they were more like spiritual paper pieces than tokens.
Upon receiving the slip of paper, everyone poured their magical power into it.
At the same time, divine senses are also communicating, infusing one's own cultivation techniques into it.
"Elder Xu, is this the verification of qualifications for establishing a sect?"
Xu Shunyan nodded.
"To establish a sect, the first requirement is that the cultivation technique must not be recorded in the Heavenly Ladder... It could be a self-created technique that has never appeared before, or it could be a previous generation's inheritance that fell off the Heavenly Ladder."
Ye Feng nodded.
The idea of succession from previous generations is easy to understand. In the past, sects were listed in the Heavenly Ladder register, but later they gradually declined and disappeared from history.
However, its inheritance may also be obtained through secret realms by receiving successors from a later generation...
"I still have a question. There are many people climbing the ladder below, and it seems that most of them can reach the sixth floor. Even a sixth-level sect cannot accommodate tens of millions, right?"
Before Xu Shunyan could speak, Ling Fengxue explained the situation to him.
"It's not that simple. First, the cultivation method must be unique; second, each level of the ladder must have corresponding spells recorded; and finally, it depends on the remaining slots for each sect..."
Xu Shunyan nodded as well.
"There are nine top-tier sects, eight thousand eighth-tier sects, twenty thousand seventh-tier sects, and ninety-nine hundred sixth-tier sects. The positions of eighth-tier and seventh-tier sects have always been vacant, and sixth-tier sects have also risen and fallen and disappeared over the past ten thousand years."
"Once all the spots are filled, selection will proceed from top to bottom based on who climbs the ladder the highest! However, as long as the technique is up to standard, the others will have another chance to challenge in the following month."
In other words, even now that the challenges have ended, the sect's position is not necessarily secure.
Especially for level six sects, this will likely be a peak period of challenges, and those lacking sufficient high-end combat power will inevitably have their sect's spiritual veins revoked...
Ye Feng nodded, then suddenly had a thought and asked,
"If a sect is captured, wouldn't they change their cultivation methods? In that case, wouldn't we be able to directly own a sect without needing to register on the Heavenly Ladder?"
What Ye Feng was referring to was the incident where the Five Elements Sect was challenged by Wu Gensheng.
Xu Shunyan also knew about this.
"Generally speaking, sect tokens are very difficult to steal... Even if they are stolen, without the relevant magical power within the body, they cannot be bound to a master and used..."
At this point, Ye Feng and Xu Shunyan both frowned.
Ye Feng himself possessed the Five Elements Spiritual Root, and based on the Lieyuan Technique, he created the Five Elements Technique, which, combined with the ultimate Chaos Magic Power,
Using the Five Elements Sect Master's token poses absolutely no obstacle.
How did Wugensheng manage to use the token?
......
While the two were talking, the fastest few had already climbed to the sixth floor.
Reaching this level and establishing a sect in such a short time is practically a done deal.
What we'll see next is their objective—what level of sect are they targeting...?
The person Ye Feng had been watching earlier was still moving at a leisurely pace up the more than 3,700 steps.
Moreover, his walking speed has remained almost unchanged from level one to now.
This person... is probably no weaker than the previous few Immortal Venerables!
......
Those watching the battle from outside are mostly sect disciples and some family cultivators.
The crowd is much thinner than before.
In the past, sect disciples always treated independent cultivators with arrogance and superiority.
Now, seeing so many people climbing to the sixth step, they couldn't help but show a look of envy.
Establish a sect! Pass it down for thousands, thousands of years!
Even if one's generation can only stay in this level six spiritual vein, who knows if, in the next few thousand or tens of thousands of years, a super expert will emerge from the sect and lead the sect to a more glorious position?
Then they would be the founding ancestors!
Even after ten thousand or a hundred thousand years, it will still be able to enjoy the worship of countless disciples and cultivators.
"That's incredible! Earth Spirit Immortal Venerable has already reached the seventh level. It seems he's determined to establish an eighth-level sect!"
"Which of these Immortal Venerables doesn't aim to establish an eighth-level sect? And you must know that within an eighth-level sect, those with Immortal Venerable experts are extremely rare."
"If it weren't for the emergence of Immortal Venerable Shenye from the Five Elements Sect, the position of the top sect might have been somewhat uncertain!"
...
On the Heavenly Ladder, the pressure one experiences is primarily at the later stages of their current cultivation level.
The seventh step requires a late-stage Integration Realm strength to ascend, and the higher one climbs, the greater the pressure becomes.
Even a normal fusion would probably not be able to reach level 7,100...
Even so, they were still in the upper-middle class within the entire Central Continent.
Even if a sect has been passed down for thousands of years, not every sect can make progress.
The founding ancestor was at the peak of the Integration Realm, and it was common for those who followed to barely reach the Integration Realm.
...
The steps became increasingly difficult to climb.
Even those at the Immortal Venerable level each found a place in the seven-thousand-level area to meditate and regulate their breathing.
Behind them were Mahayana practitioners, united in form.
The Heavenly Ladder has been open for over an hour now, and most Void Returning cultivators are still below level 6,000.
However, the Heavenly Ladder is open for a full day, and most of those confident in their abilities should be able to reach level six.
As for how many people will be able to successfully establish a sect, that's hard to say.
"Huh? That person..."
Most people have slowed down now, except for the person Ye Feng had noticed earlier, who is still moving forward, albeit at a significantly slower pace.
However, its continuous movements still attracted everyone's attention.
Even those seated in the most honored positions noticed this unusual situation.
A serious expression appeared in Ye Feng's eyes.
From the very beginning, the energy of the cultivation technique this person was transmitting on the steps was almost never the same.
It's not the kind of uniqueness based on rank... it's uniqueness from a completely different system!
"Something's not right with this person!"
