Chapter 2224: The whole sect is shocked
But no matter what, he still withstood the test at the last moment and gained a deeper understanding of his state of mind. Therefore, after pausing for a moment on the steps of the cloud platform, he started climbing again, and his speed was faster than Previously, he was only fast but not slow, but in the end, he even crossed the shackles in one go.
However, it was this unintentional act that caused a shocking earthquake within the entire Jade Cauldron Mountain!
.....................
The White Jade Square outside was already overcrowded, with countless onlookers, especially the tall stone tablet, which had been surrounded by monks for a long time. In the end, even the execution hall had to personally go out to maintain order.
And due to the existence of underground gambling, the atmosphere in the venue was unprecedentedly lively, and almost everywhere was filled with discussions.
It is conservatively estimated that the amount of Yuan Stone rolling on site is already in the hundreds of thousands. There are even new gambling games being born, and the number of people participating is even more difficult to estimate.
Even some elites from the inner sect who had not shown up for a long time were attracted by this rare event. Apparently they wanted to see if the rumored good-for-nothing Xiaoxiu could really accomplish the feat of changing his fate against the odds.
Because of this, everyone is staring closely at the name that is beating rapidly on the stone tablet. The bettors are expecting a miracle to happen, and the dealer is urgently adjusting the odds. Even the many monks who are joining in the fun are subconsciously Hold your breath.
On the other hand, General Manager Xu in the crowd was like an ant on a hot pot at this moment. He was spinning in circles in shock, and big beads of sweat kept falling on his head. Not to mention how painful it was.
To be honest, if it weren't for the ancient prohibitions all over the Cloud Observation Platform, he would have wanted to rush up to it and pick up that annoying boy. Otherwise, if he continued climbing like this, once a miracle was really created, the consequences would be no joke. of.
Fortunately, this concern soon turned around.
I saw the names jumping on the stone tablet, and finally fell into a long-lost stagnation when it reached more than 2,800 levels.
Seeing this situation, General Manager Xu was overjoyed!
The already lively venue became even more noisy. All the dealers secretly exclaimed that they were lucky. Many inner monks also broke out in a cold sweat. Some gamblers sighed heartbrokenly:
"Phew~! Fortunately, this kid finally stopped. If he keeps climbing like this, I will lose everything. I guess even the sale of the alchemy furnace won't be enough to pay off the debt!"
"Isn't that right? Master Dao, I'm almost ready to run away. I won't even fight to death next time. Whoever wants to play can have fun!"
"Damn it, wasn't this kid so fierce just now? Why can't he do it now? I pity my Yuanshi!"
"Hey! Fortunately, I had the foresight to bet only 2,500 layers. Now I can make a small profit no matter what!"
"Hmph~! Sure enough, waste is waste. How powerful did you think it would be? In the end, it's still stuck at the bottom three thousand steps! Are you still dreaming of changing your destiny against the will of heaven? It's simply a fool's errand!"
"That's right. If you were really powerful, you wouldn't be sent to guard the Abandoned Alchemy Hall. So what if you are an ascended person? At most, you just have to be more tenacious. If you are stupid, you will never become a great person!"
"Everyone, get ready to watch the show. As the saying goes, the higher you climb, the worse you will fall. The ancient prohibition is no joke. Let's see how this ends. It's still a matter of debate whether it will wake up. How dare you harm it? If I lose the Yuan Stone, this kid deserves this fate!"
"In my opinion, instead of calling him Nangong Wentian, just call him Nangong Good-for-nothing. Even if such a person enters the inner sect, it will be a shame to us and the other three major peaks!"
.....................
For a time, as the rise in rankings came to a standstill, the atmosphere in the field changed again. Many monks who had lost their primeval stones were naturally sarcastic and wanted to vent their dissatisfaction, but most of them were hiding their jealousy. .
After all, looking at the entire Jade Cauldron Mountain, there are very few people who can achieve such achievements while cultivating in the Divine Transformation Stage. It can even be described as rare.
However, now a mere minor cultivator from the outer sect can easily climb more than 2,000 steps. This is undoubtedly a public slap in the face of all the elite inner sects, and it is understandable that it will cause dissatisfaction.
In the past, it was just a matter of making great progress. No one was sure what the final result would be, let alone easily offending a promising person. But now that the results have reversed, the cultivators naturally no longer have too many scruples.
But there are always exceptions to everything.
For example, Zhao Lingqu behaved extremely calmly from beginning to end. Even at this moment, his face was still calm. Not only did he turn a deaf ear to the discussions around him, but he also stared closely at the small lines of ancient seal characters.
She didn't know why, but she always had an inexplicable intuition that the other party would never stop here.
The lower three thousand steps are indeed an insurmountable gap for ordinary gods, but for those with the power to cross the steps, the seemingly impossible will become possible!
After all, she herself has done this before!
Sure enough, just when everyone was not optimistic, a voice of exclamation suddenly came from the venue:
"Look...that kid...is moving again!"
After hearing this, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became silent. Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads and look in the direction of the stone monument with astonishment.
I saw the luster shining on the stone tablet, and the name that had been stagnant actually started to climb again.
And this time, the climbing speed is much faster than before!
It felt like a leap forward, and soon it soared all the way to the 2990th level, and finally crossed the lower watershed in one fell swoop!
Seeing this situation, the whole place fell into dead silence for an instant!
Whether it was the organizers or the participants, including the one who had spoken rudely before, whether it was the inner sect elite or the outer sect minor cultivators, they all fell into silence at this moment, and the expressions on their faces were even more bizarre, which was really as exciting as it could be.
For example, the chief steward Xu, who had just been happy for a while, stared with his eyes wide open, and was stunned on the spot, obviously not daring to believe his eyes at all.
To be honest, the matter has developed to this point, and he is still confused. How he hopes this is a dream!
