Chapter 4: The Top of the Firmament
The snowman was trembling slightly, and his heart was still pounding.
"Xiaoxue, don't be afraid, Gu Sanshan has broken its roots, and from now on, I will never be able to harm women again!
"Don't get upset when you climb the ladder! Don't think about these little things!"
Xueren Yi nodded and said, "Brother Chen, Gu Sanshan won't send someone to chase and kill you, right?"
"Don't dare to give him a hundred dares, the altar is a place to worship the heavenly spirits, and it is blasphemy to the heavenly spirits when idle people enter!"
The chaos caused by Gu Chen's attention did not attract people's attention at all, because at this time, someone had already reached the fortieth floor on the ladder, and everyone's eyes were focused there.
"Is that Gu Yong?"
"He's already on the fortieth floor, and he'll see if the trend continues to rise!!"
"That's good!" Gu Qianfan looked at the young man with a little excitement: "At this year's ceremony, my Gu clan can finally raise their eyebrows!"
Several family elders also all stood up, and one of them said, "It's already the forty-third layer, this Gu Yong may be able to impact the fifty-layer Five Elements Spirit Body!"
"Not to mention the Five Elements Spirit Body, even the Four Elephant Spirit Body seems to have not appeared for a full fifty years, right?!"
"Gu Yong is indeed the genius of my Gu clan!"
Another older elder said proudly: "My granddaughter Gu Rongrui has been with him since she was a child, and the two will get married after this ceremony, and my Gu Rongjun lineage finally has a successor!"
Everyone couldn't help but cast envious glances: "Gu Rongjun, you old boy is really a good means!!
After a thousand years, Gu Chen will embark on the road to heaven again.
He looked at the few dozen figures on the ladder, and couldn't help but shake his head again and again: "Beikun City is really just a small city, the scale of the Ascending Ceremony is so small, even the sacrifices are just some garbage raw ore, no wonder there are more than 5,000 people and only thirty or forty awakened spirits!"
In the previous life, the sacrifices offered by the Qingkong Divine Palace when it held the Ascension Ceremony were at least fifth-order spirit beasts, and their strength was comparable to that of the great spirit masters of the peak realm of phantom souls, and a fifth-order spirit beast was worth the total price of the sacrifices of a thousand Beikun City!
Gu Sanshan was drenched in cold sweat of pain, if it weren't for the strong physique of the spirit disciple and taking the hemostatic pill, I am afraid he would have passed out long ago.
He was extremely resentful and guarded at the exit, hissing from time to time with cold air in his mouth: "Has the rabbit cub named Gu Chen come out?"
"No..... no!"
"You're all keeping an eye on me, and if you let him escape, you'll all die!"
"Just catch him and bring him in at once, I'm going to make him worse than dead!"
More than a dozen house slaves immediately dispersed into the crowd and began to search for Gu Chen.
Gu Chen was the last group of people to climb the ladder, and about 500 ordinary people rushed to the ladder, and in an instant, they all bounced out with a bang, and it was so easy to wake up and change their lives!
"Xiaoxue, we're going to start climbing the ladder!"
"Remember, follow me, and if you can't bear it, you will exit the ladder, and you must not force it!"
Gu Chen took a deep breath and stepped onto the ladder, an invisible force shrouded him, and bursts of golden vitality ripples rippled under his feet.
The snowman followed him, and as soon as he took his first step, he was ejected from the ladder.
At the Ascending Ceremony, there are very few people who can awaken the spirit body after all, and the snowman never expected to become a spirit disciple.
Gu Chen turned around and gave her a warm smile: "Xiaoxue, wait for me below!"
"Brother Chen, come on!" the snowman looked bright, waving his hands to cheer for Gu Chen.
In the previous life, Gu Chen was the spirit body of the Nine Palaces Heavenly Temple, known as one of the four spirits of Silver Dust, although the body was dead, the spirit body was reborn with the three souls and six spirits, although there was a law of the Great Dao suppressed on the ladder, but for the spirit body of the Nine Palaces, he had already understood the law of the Great Dao in the sky, and the ninety layers were just walking on the ground!
Gu Chen's speed is extremely fast, one step out is the distance of five layers, and a few breaths will come to the tenth floor, on the other hand, the other people on the ladder are gritting their teeth and panting, and every time they take a step up, they can hear the crunch sound of their bones, as if they are pressing a thousand catties of boulder on their bodies.
"Huh, where is that guy from the inner city?"
When Gu Chen walked to the tenth layer, no one paid much attention to it, but when he came to the twentieth layer, someone had already begun to inquire about Gu Chen's family background, the twentieth layer means the two yi spirit bodies, if nothing else, when the spirit seed is planted, he can become a real spirit disciple, if he cultivates diligently and adds the cultivation of the family, he may be able to reach the first Tiantong Yuan Nine Realm!
Spirit disciples are the backbone of maintaining the operation of the family, especially the spirit disciples above the sixth turn of Tongyuan, each of them is the object that needs to be tried to woo.
Everyone stared at Gu Chen for a while, and then shook their heads and said, "It seems that the Gu family in the inner city doesn't have this person!
"Huh, he can still go up?"
Before the words fell, Gu Chen had already ascended the thirty-story ladder.
Thirty floors means awakening at least three living beings!
"Go and check immediately, which lineage of the Gu family are these two people?"
Several elders immediately issued instructions to their subordinates, and more than a dozen spirit disciples quickly turned away, the three-life spirit body, the spirit refining talent is even more outstanding, and the current real power elders of the Gu clan are all three-life spirit bodies!
After a while, someone reported: "Those two people's names are Gu Chen, and their families live fifty miles outside the city!
"It's a commoner!"
The expressions of several elders changed suddenly, a genius like Gu Yong had already been "predetermined" by Gu Rongjun's lineage, even if it was a lower-level Liangyi spirit body, most of them were born in the branch of the Gu clan in the inner city, and these people had also been recruited in advance.
And the children of the common people means that there is no force to go forward to win them over, if they can be recruited, it means that a certain Gu clan branch will have an additional elder with real power, and the elder with real power has a very high voice within the family and can influence the decision-making of the entire family!
It also means the rise of a certain branch.
"Quick, immediately let people prepare generous gifts and visit these two people's homes!"
Several elders whispered almost the same order, and it was up to them to see who could take the lead!
When they raised their heads, they found that Gu Chen had come to the thirty-ninth floor, and everyone was stunned!
"Four Elephant Spirit ??!"
"It's only one step away from the Four Elephant Spirits!"
The black-pressed crowd let out a burst of exclamations, and the patriarch Gu Qianfan also stood up, his eyes fixed on Gu Chen and Gu Yong: "My Beikun Gu clan is actually going to give birth to two four-elephant spirit bodies?!"
"This is God bless my Gu clan!"
Gu Yong sat on the forty-third floor of the ladder with his eyes closed, and clusters of golden clouds and mist hovered overhead, as if pressing a big mountain made it impossible for him to go further, but the vitality on the ladder was abundant, even if he sat for a while, it would be of great benefit to his future spirit refining.
The golden clouds and mist covered Gu Yong, and Gu Chen looked at the empty ladder above the ladder, and couldn't help but sigh: "The huge Beikun City doesn't even have a spirit body at the level of the five elements?
If a family does not have the support of a powerhouse of the Peak Realm of Condensation, sooner or later it will be swallowed up by other cities.
Gu Yong, who was not far away, opened his eyes violently when he heard Gu Chen's words, and said secretly: The patriarch of this clan is just the Four Elephants Red Fire Spirit Body, although this person has reached the thirty-ninth floor, but he has spoken wildly and rebelled, and he must tell the patriarch when the ceremony is over!
He looked condescendingly at Gu Chen under the clouds, with a strong sense of superiority: I was too worried, this ignorant person would soon vomit blood and die under the weight of the forty layers, and there was no need to tell the patriarch at all.
He wanted to remind him, but he was very disgusted with Gu Chen in his heart, so he deliberately kept silent and waited for Gu Chen's blood to splash on the spot!
The difference between the thirty-ninth and forty floors is not just a staircase, but a heaven and earth!
However, the next moment, Gu Yong's eyes were almost bulging, and he saw a back.
That's Gu Chen's back!
Gu Chen's step out was the ten-layer ladder, as if the immortal ascended to the fiftieth floor in an instant!
And then there's the sixty floors!
Gu Yong gasped, and his heart almost stopped beating in shock: "What ?!! Six Nightmare Spirit Body??!"
Under the sacrificial stage, Gu Qianfan and the core figures of the Gu clan gasped almost at the same time: "Six Nightmare Spirit Body!!"
The crowd was agitated, and the voices of discussion came and went.
"I'm not mistaken, sixty floors? That's the Six Nightmare Spirits!"
"This ...... Is Beikun City going to rise?"
"Six Nightmares...... I've never seen it in my life!"
"In the future, when you are old, you can brag to your grandchildren that Lao Tzu once witnessed the birth of the Six Nightmare Spirits. ”
Gu Yong's mind was in turmoil, and he could no longer resist the suppression of the Great Dao Law, and the golden cloud above his head condensed into substance, forming a golden giant sword in the center of his eyebrows!
"Gu Yong, the Four Elephants Golden Sword Spirit Body!"
Gu Yong walked out of the altar in a dejected manner, he was about to accept the congratulations of the patriarch and all the elders, but found that no one paid attention to him at all, not even the one who greeted him!
Those who should have congratulated him all ignored his presence and looked at the ladder in shock!
Gu Yong felt a great humiliation, but then he was shocked, and his eyes were staring at the top of the ladder like everyone else: "Seventy floors!!Seven Star Spirit Body!!"
Gu Yong's fists almost pinched off the joints of his fingers, and Gu Chen's speed not only slowed down, but even faster than he started!
The road to heaven is difficult, but Gu Chen is light and elegant.
"Seventy floors, seven stars!"
"Eighty floors, eight poles!"
"Ninety floors, nine palaces!"
Gu Qianfan, Gu Rongjun and other core figures of the Gu clan had all stood up, staring at that person with solemn and awe-struck eyes, as if it was not a person, but a divine mansion!
The crowd let out a tsunami-like cheer, and the entire Beikun City was boiling!
The priest waved his hands as if he was crazy: "This is the legendary Heavenly Supreme Destiny!"
Looking at the 30 million miles of Kunlun Mountain, no Seven Star people have appeared, and even the Six Nightmares are rare, and Gu Chen turned out to be a Nine Palace Spirit Body?
The Six Nightmare Spirit Body is the Emperor Spirit Body, once it is born, it will change the pattern of a country, and the Seven Stars are the semi-Holy Spirit Body, and it can change the pattern of a sect when it is born!
And the Eight Extremes and Nine Palaces Spirit Body, that is a legendary spirit body that is enough to create a Divine Palace.
At this time, the priest of the Great Ceremony suddenly bowed to the young man in the sky: "The Great Holy Spirit Master is about to be born!!!
The words of the great ceremony are the will of the heavenly spirits!
Gu Qianfan took the lead in kneeling down, and the other Gu clans didn't dare to disobey and knelt down one after another!
Hundreds of thousands of people landed on their knees at the same time, which made the earth tremble slightly, how huge!
Although Gu Sanshan's wound had been treated, this kneeling tore the wound, and the pain in his heart made him tremble, but he didn't dare not kneel.
I didn't know that the person who made all beings worship on the ladder of heaven turned out to be Gu Chen!
In the sky, the young man stood proudly and soon stood on the top of the firmament.
Suddenly, the cheers turned to a dead silence, an invisible pressure enveloped everyone, and the eyes of the crowd changed from shock to awe, and finally to fear!
Looking up again, the ancient dust had disappeared into the sky!
