210: Enter the ruins

Next, whether it was mountains or vast marshes, Ji Mo and his group went forward to investigate. During this time, they also encountered many other Saint Ranks.

However, these people now knew of Ji Mo's formidable strength and naturally avoided him from afar. Ji Mo also had no interest in them; as long as they didn't provoke him, he wouldn't actively seek trouble. For him, killing Yao Beasts held greater value.

Half a month passed in a flash. These days, they had caused immense slaughter here, wiping out every place they visited.

As a result, Ji Mo's power had already broken through ninety thousand Dragons, and he had obtained a full 10 jade pendants, giving him sufficient qualification to enter the Sword Tomb.

However, this was not enough. Ji Mo needed more monster beast pills; he wanted his main body to reach ten thousand Dragon power, thereby achieving a Breakthrough in his Saint Body... Just as Ji Mo was continuously hunting, he suddenly noticed these jade talismans constantly flashing.

In a blink of an eye, these people were teleported out of this Plane, arriving before an ancient stone staircase.

If the first trial was to filter out most opportunists, then the second trial was the least dangerous, its purpose being to filter out those with great Luck... Sword Emperor Anlan's figure reappeared, saying, "Congratulations on passing the second trial. Next, consider this a benefit from this Emperor to all of you."

"The Heavenly Staircase before you is a training ground I meticulously prepared. Above the Heavenly Staircase, special rules are embedded that can temper a person's physique, Soul, and Spiritual Qi in an all-encompassing manner."

"The Heavenly Staircase has six layers, each corresponding to a minor Realm of the Saint Rank. If you are confident enough, you can also cross layers to temper yourselves. Alright, the Heavenly Staircase will be open for ten days. Good Luck to you all!"

After speaking, the figure vanished, leaving the people to look at each other in dismay.

These six layers of the Heavenly Staircase automatically decomposed, transforming into six miniature Planes. These people chose the Plane suitable for them according to their respective Realms.

Ji Mo looked at Elder Mu, "Elder Mu, please wait for us outside!"

Elder Mu naturally had no objection; these little gadgets held no meaning for him.

He then looked at the others, "This stage is a welfare stage for us. Choose the Plane that suits you and go accept your Opportunity!"

"If you don't have enough Foundation, I suggest you choose your corresponding space. I don't think the stages set by the Sword Emperor are that simple."

After seeing some arrogant individuals choose a more Advanced space and be crushed to death.

The few nodded, thought for a moment, and felt that they shouldn't be that special, so they still chose the space that matched their Realm for tempering.

Ji Mo naturally wouldn't stay on the first layer. Through his clashes with those enemies, he felt that his overall strength should be stronger than Saint Rank Fifth Heaven, so he chose the Plane formed by the fifth layer of the Heavenly Staircase.

Upon entering, Ji Mo immediately sensed a powerful oppressive force emanating from within the space. Not only did gravity become stronger, but this pressure could affect every cell in his body.

Furthermore, this space contained a special energy. As long as one could withstand the pressure, energy would continuously repair the destroyed cells within one's body.

This rebirth amidst destruction promoted the evolution of every cell in the body, including the Saint Force within, which was constantly being compressed and purified, its quality continuously improving.

Ji Mo secretly sighed, Sword Emperor Anlan truly possessed remarkable methods. This Heavenly Staircase was indeed a supreme means of cultivating Disciples. Regularly undergoing the tempering of this Heavenly Staircase, becoming king within the same Realm was not a dream.

"In ten days, my Realm should be able to smoothly Breakthrough to Saint Rank Second Heaven, and my power should also advance somewhat!" Ji Mo secretly calculated.

Not just Ji Mo, everyone who entered this Heavenly Staircase space was shocked by it. Its function was too powerful, and the leaders of some forces had greedy expressions.

However, upon remembering that this was the work of Sword Emperor Anlan, they all put away their petty thoughts and peacefully accepted the Opportunity.

The Tenth Day.

Everyone was ejected from the Heavenly Staircase space. Most people's Realms had undergone a Breakthrough. Yan Qingcheng was now at Saint Rank Fourth Heaven and was looking at Ji Mo with a smile, wanting to share this joy with him.

The Emperor had now also entered Saint Rank Fifth Heaven, and that Imperial Ancestor had finally Advanced to Saint Rank Sixth Heaven, becoming an Emperor in one step, with his Lifespan dramatically increasing by several millennia. He was now trembling with excitement.

He looked at Ji Mo with gratitude, knowing that all of this was brought to him by Ji Mo. Without Ji Mo, he truly wouldn't have had the confidence to reach this stage.

This had given him new life; how could he not be excited, how could he not be grateful?

Only the Crown Prince had not achieved a Breakthrough. He had only recently broken through to the Saint Rank, so a further Breakthrough was impossible, but after this baptism, his Realm was already at the Peak of the first stage, and his Foundation had been forged to be incredibly solid.

Everyone present was overjoyed, happy about their Breakthroughs.

"Hahaha, congratulations on receiving this Emperor's gift. I believe many of you have already Advanced. Do not rejoice too early, because what comes next is your true Opportunity, hahaha!"

Sword Emperor Anlan's voice once again resounded throughout this space, continuing,

"From now on, each of you can enter this Emperor's true Sword Tomb with your jade talismans. This Sword Tomb is not like the island you perceive it to be; this Emperor refined a large continent using supreme secret methods to form it."

"On this continent, there are countless Treasure Troves and Opportunities, an inexhaustible supply of treasures, even energy crystals from Advanced Planes, and godhead fragments, hahaha!"

"Isn't that exciting? It should be. Some might wonder, 'Why didn't I Fuse godhead fragments to take a shortcut to become a god?'"

"Hmph! Who is this Emperor? I am Sword Emperor Anlan. If one cannot become a god by one's own strength, Fusing godheads is a dead end. One can no longer progress through one's own efforts. What meaning is there in being such a god? To be a dog for someone in an Advanced Plane?"

"This Emperor disdains it. This Emperor would rather die fighting the heavens, hahaha! Go, go explore the Treasure Trove! This Emperor is the only Emperor; this Emperor's Treasure Trove is incomparable to anyone's."

"Go! As long as you have enough strength and Luck, it's all yours..."

Sword Emperor Anlan, boundless in his dominance, even disdained the God Realm that was within easy reach, causing everyone's minds to tremble and leaving them utterly horrified.

"What! What exactly are these godhead fragments?"

Ice Emperor's eyes were also burning with desire, his mind filled with it.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable! There are actually godhead fragments within this Sword Tomb!"

"Godhead! That is the core of a God Rank powerhouse! Every God Rank only has one godhead. As long as one obtains and Fuses a godhead, one can become a god effortlessly!..."

"What... it's actually... actually possible to become a god..."

"I never imagined that there would be such an Opportunity in this Treasure Trove, a godhead! The most supreme treasure..."

These people's eyes were bloodshot, their minds completely dominated by the words 'godhead'.

Those holding jade talismans all crushed them, choosing to teleport immediately to gain an advantage.

Ji Mo and the others were no exception; they all crushed their jade talismans and teleported in immediately.
