All living things gazed at the clouds above, yearning and hoping for the appearance of a heavenly ladder leading to ascension.
But after Song Siyao successfully overcame his tribulation, even the auspicious clouds and rain seemed exceptionally shabby.
Even the ordinary tribulations that lead to the Mahayana stage are more magnificent than this.
Song Tingwan's brows furrowed more and more tightly; this time, fate was in complete control.
The Heavenly Way, which indulges them so much, remains completely unmoved.
If it were that person, the whole world would be celebrating.
I wonder if the will of Heaven is still right?
Just as everyone was confused and even felt hopeless, thinking that the heavens wanted them to die, the auspicious clouds dispersed.
The clouds in the sky were silently split in two by a force, and the indigo color spread, followed by a slow expansion of golden light.
As celestial music began, a series of distinct, angular steps, resembling ethereal glass, slowly emerged from the golden sky, each step covered with intricate seal script.
The golden seal script scrolls along the heavenly ladder, sacred and ancient.
The celestial ladder connects heaven and earth, and everyone's gaze naturally rises upwards.
The mysterious thing is that, apart from the two or three steps connecting to the ground, the rest can only be seen as a starry river-like shape.
Wu Gan's face darkened.
Yang Sheng reminded the two sisters in the distance, "When I successfully transcended the tribulation, I could see the general outline of the Ascension Ladder, and the break was near the sky."
This world is being made so difficult.
The broken part was clearly shown at the beginning, but now it is like a fog. If Song Siyao falls into the air, it will be considered a failure to ascend.
What a cruel twist of fate!
Song Tingwan looked thoughtfully at the invisible Heavenly Road and guessed, "Perhaps the reason why the senior was allowed to see the break was because Heaven couldn't bear to see the senior fall so close to the finish line and was in despair."
Heaven has mercy on all living beings.
Unfortunately, even with the mercy of Heaven, he was still harmed by Venerable Chunwu.
Wu Gan pondered the situation back then.
It is indeed possible that Heaven has taken pity on us.
Upon hearing this, the cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage silently agreed in their hearts.
For nearly a thousand years, anyone who has entered the Tribulation Transcending stage has been able to sense the will of Heaven that they cannot ascend.
All of this is the work of Heaven.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao was suppressed, and its power was almost gone.
Otherwise, with His help, the tribulation and ascension process might be much easier.
Song Siyao and her older sister exchanged a glance.
Song Tingwan looked at her gently with eyes like spring water and said softly, "Go."
Song Siyao led his older sister down from mid-air, landing where the heavenly ladder connects to the ground.
Upon seeing the illuminated Void Immortal Ladder, Song Siyao looked up and surveyed the crowd.
The delicate woman had bright, clear eyes and stood beside her, looking at her encouragingly.
After the rains fell, Baili Xijiang barely managed to transform into human form, but his skin was covered with large patches of blood-stained black scales and stained with blood.
He stood side by side with Qin Xi, smiling at him with trust.
Song Siyao's gaze lingered on Qin Yuanyuan's blindfold for a moment, then he nodded at her with a slight glint in his eyes.
Qin Xi smiled nonchalantly, "I'm fine, sister, you should go ahead."
Looking further back, Song Siyao's master, fellow disciples, Song Hexi, and others all looked at her with smiles, placing all their hopes on her alone.
All the gazes that looked upon them were like guiding lights, directed towards their hope.
"Ayao, go."
We're all here.
Yan Shanjun relaxed his serious expression and shed his earnest demeanor of the past years, revealing a hint of his youthful unrestrainedness.
"Ascension to save the world is of extraordinary significance, and your wisdom will be passed down for eternity. If you don't go now, I, your master, am willing to go in your place."
He said it jokingly, then patted his young apprentice on the shoulder.
Song Siyao felt that her master looked particularly somber.
Her heart sank.
Carrying the hopes of countless people, he turned around and resolutely stepped onto the ladder to ascension.
As you step onto the first step, the ethereal staircase flashes with light, solidifying into a milky-white, luminous step.
The fluctuation of the gold seal script is more obvious.
Song Siyao raised an eyebrow, showing no reaction whatsoever.
She lifted her robe and climbed up, quickly ascending more than a dozen steps in the blink of an eye.
Seeing her younger sister's relaxed appearance, a smile flashed in Song Tingwan's eyes.
In a daze, it seemed as if I had traveled through the torrent of time and seen how they looked when they first climbed the ladder to heaven.
Stepping into the world of cultivation, the ladder to heaven for entering the path of cultivation seems like it was just yesterday.
Now, as if in the blink of an eye, the younger sister who once gritted her teeth and insisted on helping her to the top is now climbing the ladder to godhood.
Ironically, she was frail back then, and she is still weak now as she stands beneath the Ascension Ladder.
Seeing that A Yao had successfully climbed the Heavenly Ladder, Song Tingwan breathed a sigh of relief. She would wait for A Yao to reach the broken part of the Heavenly Ladder before starting the next challenge.
The woman clasped her hands together, and only after relaxing them did she belatedly realize the pain and exhaustion.
She waved her hand and set out a golden sandalwood table and chairs. Thinking of the senior figures around her, she waved her hand again and set out all the tables and chairs in the space without any regard for them.
All kinds of spiritual tea and pastries are provided.
Baili Xijiang and Qin Xi stood there, unsure whether they could sit down in front of a group of senior figures.
"Please make yourselves at home, seniors."
The pain that belatedly surged up made Song Tingwan frown. She forced herself to finish speaking and then waved to her two companions.
Baili Xijiang and Qin Xi laughed unconsciously and ran over to sit down without hesitation.
The large round table that could seat six people was now occupied by only the three of them.
One is climbing the ladder to heaven, while the other two are oblivious to their fate.
After sitting down, her mind started working again. Looking at the empty seat, Song Tingwan's heart clenched once more.
"Sinking into the river and Aji..."
She had already felt the pain when she saw them rush into the lightning tribulation. At that time, she was in so much pain that she only had time to throw down the Soul Warming Pill.
As for Aji…
After the demonic energy was dispersed, Song Tingwan's own consciousness also became blurred.
Furthermore, although they can refine demon pills, they have too many innate demonic skills. Sometimes, when their demonic energy is dispersed and they think they are dead, they have actually escaped quietly.
