Volume 5: Seven Dao Sects Chapter 14: The Eighth Floor
The name Lu Qingshan was advancing step by step at a steady and astonishing speed, as if he was not affected by anything.
"The sixth floor!"
Someone in the crowd let out a soft cry, followed by another burst of exclamations.
I saw that name had slowly jumped to the sixth level, while the name of the second person, Lin Kui, was still on the third level.
The names of all the remaining monks are in the second level area.
Half an hour later, when Lin Kui's name was squeezed into the fourth-level area, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Kui is about to catch up.
"It's moving again, it's moving again!"
But just as the breathing sound died down, the exclamation suddenly exploded again.
Then everyone saw that the name on the sixth floor was rising again and moving unswervingly towards the seventh floor.
"Patriarch, this Lu Qingshan is really not a simple person. I just don't know where he came from and why he has been unknown before?" An old man beside the Patriarch of the Lin family stared at the scene with a thoughtful look on his face. He said solemnly, "Such a young Jindan cultivator should not be unknown. Could he be the disciple of some hidden master?"
“It is not simple.” Although the head of the Lin family felt heavy in his heart, he would not deceive himself. He nodded slowly, his eyes solemn, and whispered: “Is Qingzhou alone so full of hidden talents? I thought that with Kui’er’s perfected golden elixir, he must be the best in Qingzhou, and even one of the top thousand in the Southern Region... Now it seems that I, Meng Lang, underestimated the cultivators in the world..."
…
On the giant monument, golden light shone, and more and more people stared at the name at the top of the list.
It seemed as if the name Lu Qingshan contained infinite attraction that made them unable to take their eyes away.
The golden light flashed again, and the name slowly climbed up again.
"The seventh floor!"
The noisy square suddenly became strangely quiet at this moment.
Because at this time, Lin Kui, who was ranked second, was still on the fourth floor!
When will this unstoppable momentum stop?
This question flashed through everyone's mind.
Not long after, they somewhat numbly discovered that the rising trend of that name had not stopped. It shone with golden light once again and climbed up another position.
Eighth floor: Lu Qingshan!
Some people couldn't help but groan.
What kind of monster is this Lu Qingshan?
An extremely obvious and abrupt fault appeared in front of them.
Lin Kui, whom they had high hopes for, had just reached the fifth floor and was the only one on the fifth floor.
There were a total of seventeen names on the fourth level, all of them were Jindan cultivators.
From then on, everything is concentrated on the third layer.
…
Lu Qingshan pulled and pushed his body together, breaking out of the violent spiritual energy storm layer, and leaped onto a suspended island that was hundreds of times smaller than the previous one.
Above this suspended island, even the next layer of spiritual energy storm is already not far ahead and can be seen with the naked eye.
Because this is the eighth-level island in the Giant Spirit Realm.
He never stopped moving forward.
Therefore, in just one day, he had almost cleared the Giant Spirit Realm.
Along the way, except for the few monks he met at the beginning on the suspended island on the first level, since then, he has been the only one and has never seen anyone else.
Lu Qingshan once again flew up on his sword and rushed to the last layer of the spiritual energy storm.
A vague sense of violence emanated from the thick storm layer before he even entered.
Looking up, one can see countless huge groups of spiritual energy wandering around, which is truly astonishing.
In the last layer of the spiritual energy storm, the attack power of the spiritual energy balls contained is comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.
The only thing to be thankful for is that these spiritual energy balls do not have consciousness. They are just pure violent spiritual energy forces. Dealing with them is not very laborious. You just need to split them apart.
But when it came to the last layer of the storm, the frequency and strength of the spiritual energy groups became stronger and stronger, and now even Lu Qingshan could not handle it with ease.
However, he knew that when he reached the eighth-level suspended island, it would mean that not only the 1,000 places in Qingzhou's re-examination, but even the top ten places in the initial examination would be no problem.
Just looking at the storm layer in front of him that seemed extremely dangerous, Lu Qingshan's heart moved.
Because he discovered that this level of spiritual energy storm layer seemed to be almost the same as the meteorite formation in the Dayan Palace?
Although this was a chasm for other monks, it was not difficult to pass for him.
However, this was not what he was thinking about.
——Perhaps, I can use this spiritual energy storm layer as a meteorite formation to practice my own Ten Thousand Swords Technique?
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan jumped forward decisively. A strong wind blew his body away, and at the same time, a violent ball of spiritual power began to rush forward.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the sword energy was flying around, facing the spiritual energy that was attacking from all directions.
…
On top of the giant monument.
One name after another began to disappear.
Then, one monk after another was eliminated and appeared in the square.
But at this moment, no one cared about this scene.
Everyone had only one thought left.
Can that name make it to the final level?
Everyone's eyes became hot, staring at that ordinary name.
They knew that as long as this name could advance one more level with the previous momentum, he would undoubtedly be the number one among the younger !
Everyone knew that if the following scene happened again, it would cause a huge shock in Qingzhou.
The 18-year-old who ranked first in the Qingzhou preliminary examination!
…
However, under the gazes of countless people, that name did not leap up again as everyone expected, but stopped and remained motionless.
After a long time, when everyone was sure that this was the end, they all felt complicated.
There is both pity and some gloating.
It’s a pity that I didn’t see the miracle happen in the end.
Schadenfreude means that everyone has some negative thoughts and does not want to see others succeed.
"Has he reached his limit?" The head of the Lin family couldn't help but mutter when he saw this scene: "Yes, although this momentum is earth-shattering, with his cultivation level of the middle stage of the Golden Core, the eighth level should be his limit, right?"
“If that’s the case…” The head of the Lin family had a gleam in his eyes as he looked at Lin Kui’s name, which had advanced to the sixth level while Lu Qingshan’s name was stagnant.
“Then Kui’er still has a chance! Although his speed is much slower than Lu Qingshan’s, as long as Kui’er can reach the ninth floor in the end, the title of the number one person in Qingzhou will still belong to Kui’er! After all, even if you run faster, it doesn’t matter if you don’t reach the finish line in the end…”
