763: Earthly Fairy Realm

Inside the seventieth floor of the Immortal Spirit Pagoda, Yang Lingchen's gaze revealed a hint of determination. He gritted his teeth and then walked towards the seventy-first floor.

Currently, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level had already reached the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Profound Immortal Realm, but to Breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm, he needed to ascend to at least the seventy-second floor.

This was because the Spiritual Qi required to Breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm was extremely massive.

Yang Lingchen was climbing slowly, while Yun Mengyao, on the seventy-first floor, was currently Cultivating with her eyes closed.

After climbing to the seventy-first floor, the Immortal Essence Power within Yun Mengyao's body had been completely exhausted. To continue climbing, she needed to restore the Immortal Essence Power within her; otherwise, it would be impossible for her to climb to the seventy-second floor.

"It seems I truly overestimated him."

Half an hour later, Yun Mengyao opened her eyes. A hint of disappointment flashed deep within her beautiful eyes. She then stood up and continued walking towards the seventy-second floor.

...

On the fifty-fifth floor of the Immortal Spirit Pagoda, Qiao Yanxi and Ji Tiantian were climbing at a steady pace.

"Sister Tiantian, how come we haven't encountered that brat yet?"

Qiao Yanxi looked depressed. After leaving the Profound Immortal Valley, she had been searching everywhere for news of Yang Lingchen.

Upon learning that Yang Lingchen had gone to the Immortal Spirit Pagoda, she and Ji Tiantian came to the Immortal Spirit Pagoda immediately. What made her feel helpless was that despite working herself to the bone climbing fifty floors, she hadn't even seen a shadow of Yang Lingchen.

However, the only thing she felt fortunate about was that not long after entering the Immortal Spirit Pagoda, both her and Ji Tiantian's cultivation level had broken through to the Earth Immortal Realm.

"Yang Lingchen's talent is quite good, and he entered the Immortal Spirit Pagoda before us, so it will likely be difficult to catch up to him," Ji Tiantian said with a gentle smile.

"Could it be that our talent doesn't even compare to his?" Qiao Yanxi pouted, clearly speaking with dissatisfaction.

"Whether we compare to him or not, we will know soon enough. Let's continue climbing," Ji Tiantian said with a charming smile.

"I must catch up to that brat and teach him a good lesson," Qiao Yanxi said angrily.

...

On the other side, the siblings Huang Ruoyu and Huang Ruochen were climbing upwards with great difficulty.

"Sister, do you think we can catch up to Brother-in-Law?" Beads of sweat had already overflowed on Huang Ruochen's forehead.

After climbing for these past few days, the cultivation level of the two siblings had reached the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Profound Immortal Realm, only one step away from the Earth Immortal Realm.

"Stinky brat, who told you to call him Brother-in-Law?" Huang Ruoyu scolded coquettishly.

"Alright, then I won't call him that."

Huang Ruochen continued, "Sister, if you really like Brother Yang, I think you can be a bit more proactive. With your beauty, as long as you use a little bit of a beauty trap, he will probably succumb obediently. But if you miss this opportunity and his strength increases in the future, and he gets snatched away by other women, it will be too late for you to regret it."

"Shut your stinky mouth!" Huang Ruoyu scolded angrily, but in her heart, she suddenly felt that what her younger brother said actually made some sense.

...

After five hours of climbing, Yang Lingchen finally stepped onto the seventy-first floor. At this moment, the Immortal Essence Power within his body had been almost completely exhausted.

Yang Lingchen did not hesitate; he immediately sat cross-legged, absorbing the Spiritual Qi of the seventy-first floor while earnestly comprehending the Law within the Immortal Spirit Pagoda.

As streams of Spiritual Qi were absorbed into his body, Yang Lingchen finally touched the barrier of the Earth Immortal Realm, though breaking through would not be so easy.

Under the frantic absorption of the Undying Golden Body Art, in less than half an hour, the Immortal Essence Power within Yang Lingchen's body was completely restored.

"Finally caught up to you."

A faint smile curved the corners of Yang Lingchen's mouth.

He had already sensed Yun Mengyao's aura. The other party had not yet reached the seventy-second floor; if he continued to pursue, he should be able to catch up to her very soon.

"This guy's talent is really quite good."

While climbing, a faint arc suddenly appeared on the corners of Yun Mengyao's mouth, and she then climbed towards the seventy-second floor again.

Although she was already very exhausted, she did not want to lose to Yang Lingchen. After all, they were both of the same generation, and she naturally did not want to lose to the other party in a contest of talent.

After catching his breath, Yang Lingchen continued to walk towards the seventy-second floor. He intended to completely catch up to Yun Mengyao on the seventy-second floor.

When Yang Lingchen began climbing the pagoda again, his footsteps had become incredibly slow. The terrifying pressure of the Immortal Spirit Pagoda made every step difficult, and with each step he took, a surge of pure Spiritual Qi flowed into his body.

Yang Lingchen constantly refined the Spiritual Qi within his body while slowly climbing upwards against the pressure.

As he continued to climb upwards, the barrier to the Earth Immortal Realm finally developed cracks.

A hint of pleasant surprise flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes. Since the barrier had cracked, it proved that he was not far from a Breakthrough.

Therefore, he hurriedly accelerated his refining speed and continued to climb upwards.

When Yang Lingchen was only ten steps away from the seventy-second floor, he finally caught up to Yun Mengyao, who was in the middle of a Breakthrough.

"It is time to Breakthrough."

A sharp light flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes, and he then channeled all the Immortal Essence Power within his body, rushing crazily towards the Earth Immortal Realm.

Under Yang Lingchen's frantic impact, the barrier of the Earth Immortal Realm was like a bursting dam, instantly breached, and a massive amount of energy spread throughout his body.

"Boom, boom, boom...!"

"First Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm."

At the moment his cultivation level broke through, a faint smile curved the corners of Yang Lingchen's mouth.

"I didn't expect you to Breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm so quickly."

When Yang Lingchen opened his eyes, he happened to meet the gaze of Yun Mengyao, who was looking at him.

"Young Miss Yun is not bad either; you actually broke through to the second layer of the Earth Immortal Realm," Yang Lingchen said with a warm smile.

"Let's go up first," Yun Mengyao said with a shallow smile, and then continued walking towards the seventy-second floor.

"Mm!" Yang Lingchen followed closely behind and also walked towards the seventy-second floor.

But at this moment, both of their steps were exceptionally difficult. After reaching the seventieth floor, every step was extremely arduous because they not only had to face the terrifying pressure but also needed to divert a portion of their mental energy to comprehend the Law of the Heavenly Dao.

When they climbed to the last five steps, both of them were almost exhausted to the point of collapse.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen suddenly stretched out his right hand towards Yun Mengyao. He did not speak but looked at her with a smile.

To Yang Lingchen's surprise, Yun Mengyao only hesitated for a moment before placing her snow-white jade hand onto Yang Lingchen's hand.
