After saying that, Gu Jian led Tu Xiaowu and Hua Mudan toward the Heavenly Ladder without hesitation.
Qiao Xier followed behind.
This is an opportunity that the Spirit Control Sect bought with the lives of three hundred people.
Qiao Xi'er cheered herself up, determined to awaken her extraordinary Holy Body.
Qiao Xi'er looked at Gu Jian's back again.
This guy is a demonic cultivator and has done incredibly evil things, but for some reason, Qiao Xi'er just can't bring herself to hate him.
Why am I like this?
"He's a big bad guy."
"But why do I feel he's nice, and why does his back look so familiar? *sobs*"
Qiao Xi'er muttered to herself, looking at that tall and straight back, she couldn't help but associate him with the person who haunted her dreams.
Qiao Xi'er was startled, then shook her head and said, "What am I thinking? He's a demonic cultivator, how could he be Brother Gu Jian?"
"Brother Gu Jian is so righteous, he can't possibly be Brother Gu Jian..."
Qiao Xi'er was lost in thought.
Then, under everyone's gaze, she arrived at the foot of the Heavenly Ladder.
Gu Jian glanced at Qiao Xi'er and smiled. "Miss Xi'er, please."
"Thank you!" Qiao Xi'er nodded subconsciously, but then felt extremely guilty.
She actually thanked a demonic cultivator.
Each step of the Heavenly Ladder is as tall as a person.
She leaped and landed on the first step.
Seeing this, Rabbit Xiaowu and Flower Peony also jumped up.
Gu Jian stood below the Heavenly Platform and looked in the direction of the Misty Sect.
Gu Jian had a premonition that Ye Chen had definitely come.
However, no one else was seen.
That's strange.
But Gu Jian didn't care. He was determined to have his soul searched one by one after they awakened their sacred bodies.
We will definitely find him.
Gu Jian's gaze then swept over the other sect's experts and prodigies, who looked unwilling.
He paused slightly on Wang Kun, then looked up at the Heavenly Ladder and began to climb it step by step.
In just a few breaths, he crossed ten steps.
The mystery of the Heavenly Ladder can put pressure on climbers.
The less talented someone is, the greater the pressure they face.
Conversely, the less pressure there is.
Gu Jian possesses the supreme bone of a divine dragon and phoenix, and his talent is extraordinary. He can clearly sense the power of the laws around him.
He was very familiar with the process and felt almost no pressure.
Swish swish swish!
Outside the Heavenly Plaza, under the astonished gazes of thousands of people and demons.
Before long, Gu Jian reached the fiftieth step.
At this moment, Hua Mudan, Tu Xiaowu, and Qiao Xier were all left behind by him.
"Is this guy a psychopath?"
At this moment, the peony is already feeling considerable pressure.
She wiped the sweat from her fair forehead and looked up, only to see Gu Jian's back.
It is said that anyone who wants to climb more than fifty steps of the Heavenly Ladder must possess extraordinary talent.
Even the sacred body protects one.
Judging from how relaxed Gu Jian is, he must have a strong physique.
But she had never seen him before; what kind of constitution did he have?
Rabbit Xiaowu exclaimed with admiration, "Master, you're amazing!"
Qiao Xi'er looked at Gu Jian's back and thought to herself, "The more I look at him, the more he looks like Brother Gu Jian, sob sob."
"He's so amazing, we can't lose to him. *sobs*"
Qiao Xi'er didn't realize that she only made whimpering sounds when she was talking to people who weren't on guard.
She mustered all her strength, leaped, and reached the thirtieth step, then continued climbing.
Ignoring the people behind him, Gu Jian continued to climb upwards outside the Jietian Square, under the astonished gazes of everyone.
The sixtieth step!
The seventieth step.
...
The eightieth step!
When Gu Jian landed on the eightieth step.
Everyone outside Jietian Square wore expressions of disbelief.
Many other people exclaimed in surprise.
"The eightieth step? How is that possible?!"
"It is said that those who reach the eighty steps of the Heavenly Ladder can awaken the strongest sacred body in the world."
"Indeed! I remember ten thousand years ago, a senior of my Heavenly Sword Sect climbed the eightieth step of the Heavenly Ladder and awakened the Heavenly Sword Saint Body there, becoming the number one sword cultivator in the human realm!"
"..."
"Speaking of which, one of my ancestors from the Spirit Control Sect once climbed the Heavenly Ladder to the eightieth level! At that time, he awakened the Ancient Sacred Body!"
"That is the holy body of the top ten in the human race, which made him suppress the current generation."
"Could it be that Li Taibai is also about to awaken a Saintly Body of the same level?"
"..."
"Is it possible that he will continue climbing to awaken an even stronger physique?"
"Are you talking about a Celestial-level Sacred Body? Legend has it that on the Heavenly Ladder, starting from the eighty-first floor, there is a very small chance of awakening a Sacred Body that surpasses the Celestial level. But legends are just legends; in tens of thousands of years, no one has achieved it."
"How could there not be? Phoenix Supreme Feng Yantong of the Misty Sect did it, didn't she? I remember a thousand years ago, she climbed to the eighty-first level of the Heavenly Ladder! It seems she awakened an extraordinary immortal body!"
"I've heard about that too, but there's no evidence that it's a Celestial Body. Besides, if it were a Celestial Body, the Phoenix Supreme would probably have already reached the Saint level by now. How could it have remained in the Supreme Realm for so many years?"
"I don't know, perhaps there's some hidden reason..."
"..."
A series of sounds rang out, and Gu Jian also heard them.
Some people were actually discussing something related to Feng Yantong.
If Gu Jian remembered correctly, Feng Yantong had just told him in a telepathic message that she had awakened the Phoenix Saint Immortal Body back then.
