Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times-Chapter 252 - 133: Chen Qiu, Sect Master of Chao Tian Sect, Took a Moment. _2

Many Heavenly Prides climbed for half the day, their Divine Sense still unable to detect the end of the Sky-reaching Stairs, so they clenched their teeth and jumped into the sea of fire below, then turned into a beam of white light and were eliminated from the Secret Realm.

He could understand the thoughts of these Heavenly Prides. After all, judging by the unreachable end of the Sky-reaching Stairs, there was definitely not enough time left to climb to the end. The Secret Realm wouldn’t create an impossible level, so the real end was very likely the sea of fire below.

But...

Actually, the sea of fire below was just a trap, and upon jumping into the sea of fire, there was only one outcome: elimination.

As time passed,

Your next chapter awaits on novelbuddy

Many Heavenly Prides chose to jump into the sea of fire, and some Heavenly Prides even chose to jump into the sea of fire when they were close to reaching the true end of the Sky-reaching Stairs.

This round truly targeted those Heavenly Prides who possessed Divine Sense and whose range of Divine Sense was broad.

When you sense that the end is still far from you, you would naturally give up and start thinking that the sea of fire might be the real end.

Contrarily, those Heavenly Prides either didn’t use their Divine Sense at all, or pretended not to see anything with their Divine Sense, and continued climbing, seemingly engaging in an endless ascent of the Sky-reaching Stairs.

But just before time was about to run out, they inadvertently stepped on a stair that teleported these Heavenly Prides to the second round at Green Stone Square, informing them they had passed the round.

...

"..."

Chen Qiu looked at the images of those Heavenly Prides, his mouth slowly opening in a daze, frozen in place. He had thought he had found the most correct way to pass the round, but now it seemed...

His way of passing the round was completely different from what the Secret Realm had anticipated?

In fact, it looked like he had exploited a glitch in the map.

This first round truly tested the physical strength and perseverance of the Heavenly Prides.

When you can’t see hope, will you still take firm steps forward? This precisely symbolizes the path of cultivation, where you cannot see the end clearly, and without a greatly perseverant heart, you cannot reach the final destination.

Those Golden Core Heavenly Prides, whose range of Divine Sense was so limited, although they felt it was difficult, still moved forward step by step.

Just as time was about to run out, and they still couldn’t see the end of the Sky-reaching Stairs within their range of Divine Sense, they ultimately fell into despair and plunged into the sea.

But he was different.

Standing at the starting point, his Divine Sense reached out for more than a hundred miles; he knew right away that this was not a path a person could finish walking, and without any hesitation, he turned back on the spot.

Thus—

The leaderboard showed this scene.

-

"First Round: Fastest Passage Leaderboard."

"Rank One": Chen Qiu, Sect Master of Chao Tian Sect, time taken: forty-eight breaths.

"Rank Two": Li Shiyi, True Disciple of Tao Sword Sect, time taken: six hundred seventy breaths.

"..."

"Rank Six": Zhang Mo, Saint Heir of Citian Sect, time taken: seven hundred twelve breaths.

"..."

"Rank Ninety-Nine": Li Kui, Inner Sect Disciple of Fu Kui Sect, time taken: eight hundred thirty-six breaths.

-

Thirty minutes is approximately equivalent to three cups of tea, or about nine hundred breaths.

Chen Qiu did not know how many people participated in the first round, but the total number of Heavenly Prides who passed it was only 1298.

And on the leaderboard,

His forty-eight breaths were extremely conspicuous.

That ’Rank Two’ Li Shiyi took six hundred seventy breaths; he really stood out by several magnitudes, indeed somewhat conspicuous.

But just then—

A panel wrapped in clouds and fog once again emerged before him.

"Li Shiyi, True Disciple of Tao Sword Sect, possesses a Heavenly Pride Order of the highest grade, and has one chance to initiate a revote."

"Heavenly Pride Li Shiyi chooses to use this opportunity and leaves a message: ’Fellow Daoists, let’s have a rematch, there was a problem with this first round. That Sect Master Chen Qiu of Chao Tian Sect, never heard of it, surely there’s something wrong with the first round of the Secret Realm, I kindly urge fellow Daoists to vote for a rematch.’

"Please, fellow Heavenly Prides, vote on whether to recontest the first round, a majority vote will conclude an agreement to rematch."

"..."

Chen Qiu looked at the floating cloud panel in front of him with a slightly bizarre expression. There were ranks among Heavenly Pride Orders? Why did his have no features while Li Shiyi’s superior Heavenly Pride Order allowed him a chance for a rematch?

Actually, he thought that being second was quite good too.

Is it necessary to demand a rematch just because it’s not the first rank?

However, through that message, he also gathered some information: Da Xia Country was indeed a place of confinement, and the land imprisoning Da Xia Country was called Xuantian Continent.

He wasn’t given a chance to choose.

The votes agreeing passed the majority, suggesting that many people wanted a rematch, but only those who passed the first round could participate in this rematch. Those who were eliminated earlier in the Secret Realm had no chance to join this rematch.

...

A flash of white light.

Chen Qiu found himself standing again on the familiar moss-covered Green Stone Square, once again restrained by the forces of heaven and earth, and the panel for the first round emerged beside him again.

You like rematches, huh?

His eyes gradually narrowed, and a sudden smile appeared on his lips, planning to take a gamble and try it out.

In the instant the force of heaven and earth dissipated!

With almost no hesitation, he activated ’Shrink Earth into Inches,’ his body continuously teleporting through the air above the Green Stone Square until he pierced into the clouds and vanished from his original spot, then appeared above the second round’s Green Stone Square and slowly descended to the ground.

-

"First Round: Fastest Passage Leaderboard."

"Rank One": Chen Qiu, Sect Master of Chao Tian Sect, time taken: one breath.

"..."

-

"Why bother."

Chen Qiu stood in front of the stele with a reflective expression, looking at the rankings appearing above and muttered: "That’ll kill you."
