C962 Deep Within the Chasm
C962 Deep Within the Chasm
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
"If this continues, he might really be able to enter the deepest part of the heavenly moat."
"I don't know if he can enter the deepest part of the chasm. Anyway, if he continues to develop like this, he will definitely be very close to the top three."
...
At the moment, everybody was looking at Ling Jian, who had made it into the top ten. However, after a while, Ling Jian's result had reached 945 degrees. He was only one step away from the top three.
In the depths of the chasm, both Liu Fangyan and Luo Xuan knew what was happening on the stone pillar outside the chasm.
Liu Fangyan also raised her head and looked into the depths of the chasm. The spiritual energy in her body was rushing out unreservedly. At any moment, it was possible that he would break through his limit.
At the 949th depth, after a short period of hesitation and preparation, Luo Xuan finally raised his foot again.
"Fall!"
In the next moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded out from Luo Xuan's mouth. At the same time, his entire face became incomparably savage.
At this moment, almost all the spiritual energy in his body was concentrated on his raised right foot. However, even so, his raised right foot seemed to be blocked by thousands of forces. It couldn't fall down at all.
It was as if someone had appeared beneath her foot and pressed it down, making it impossible for him to easily land on it.
Not only that, but at this moment, Wei Ya, who came from the depths of the chasm, also made his face turn pale.
Even though Luo Xuan had used all of his strength, his entire body was still trembling violently during this process.
"Fall!"
Luo Xuan roared once again. It was as if he had gone mad. His eyes were staring intently at the 950th step.
Within the chasm, one would have to face an extremely powerful pressure if one did not advance even once. A depth of over 950 was a level higher than Luo Xuan's previous results. It was naturally extremely challenging for the current Luo Xuan.
Outside the chasm, many disciples of the Grand Illusionary Palace could hear Luo Xuan's beast-like roar. Instantly, their gazes converged on Luo Xuan.
At the moment when they looked down, suddenly, there was a loud bang. Luo Xuan's foot had finally smashed into the depths of the 950th floor.
"This! Senior brother Luo Xuan has actually reached the nine hundred and fiftieth spot!"
"Look, on the stone pillar, senior brother Luo Xuan's result has also changed."
"It seems that Senior Brother Luo Xuan has really come prepared this time."
"With just one more step, Senior Martial Brother Luo Xuan's result will surpass Senior Martial Sister Liu Fangyan's."
"I wonder if Senior Martial Brother Luo Xuan will be able to complete the final step?"
...
At this moment, the gazes of countless disciples of the Supreme Void Palace were all focused on Luo Xuan. Even the shock caused by Ling Jian was suppressed by the crowd.
Within the natural chasm, as Luo Xuan's body was once again at the same height as Liu Fangyan's, a faint smile finally surfaced on Luo Xuan's face.
"Haha, Liu Fangyan, the gap between you and I is really getting closer and closer."
Feeling pleased with himself, Luo Xuan could not help but laugh.
Although Luo Xuan's forehead was covered with cold sweat and his whole body was trembling slightly, for him, this result was enough to make him extremely excited.
"Humph, don't be happy too early. You have only reached the same height as me..."
She glanced at Luo Xuan who was getting carried away, but even so, Liu Fangyan's eyes still had a trace of emotion. She had to admit that Luo Xuan's talent was quite good.
If nothing unexpected happened, then the person who had the highest chance of surpassing him in the entire Grand Illusionary Palace would be Luo Xuan himself.
"Fang Yan, it's already very difficult for me to be on the same level as you. It can be said that there aren't many people in the entire Great Void Palace who can do what I'm doing right now."
Luo Xuan's face was full of pride. In his opinion, besides Zuo Zi Fei and Baili Chang, only the Saint Lady could reach this level. However, of the three of them, the first two didn't have any feelings for Liu Fang Yan, and the Saint Lady was even more impossible, so he had a better chance.
And now, he had reached that level. In fact, he was very close to Liu Fang Yan marrying him.
He looked at Liu Fangyan and felt a fire burning in his heart. Just as he was about to continue speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
In an instant, Luo Xuan's expression changed slightly. From the corner of his eyes, he swept his gaze over the figure that had appeared. Immediately, the face of this figure was directly captured by his eyes.
"Ling Jian?"
Luo Xuan suddenly turned his head and saw Ling Jian who had appeared not far behind him. At this moment, Luo Xuan's entire face was filled with shock. Other than him and Liu Fangyan, Ling Jian had actually reached this stage?
"This is impossible!"
"How is it possible for Ling Jian to come up? How can he be so fast?"
Luo Xuan couldn't believe it. Even she had to exert a great deal of effort to reach such a height. He had just reached such a height, and he hadn't even had time to catch his breath, yet Ling Jian had appeared.
One must know that before this, Ling Jian had been hovering over eight hundred meters, but in the blink of an eye, he had reached the same height as her!
"What? Do you feel that it is difficult just to get here?"
Ling Jian casually opened his mouth and spoke. However, his voice was extremely calm and indifferent.
It was as if it was a piece of cake for him to reach such a deep place. It was just a piece of cake for him.
On the side, Liu Fangyan's heart was also greatly shocked when she saw Ling Jian appear.
Now, he saw that Ling Jian's condition was clearly much more relaxed than Luo Xuan's. Could it be that Ling Jian could continue for another thousand plus years before saying that he'd surpassed Luo Xuan?
At this moment, seeing that Ling Jian seemed to be preparing to continue for a thousand more times, Luo Xuan's expression also changed slightly at this moment. He was finally unable to maintain his calm any longer.
"Damnit, Ling Jian, hurry up and stop!"
Luo Xuan loudly roared as he spoke, stopping Ling Jian from continuing his climb.
Ling Jian looked coldly at Luo Xuan, but he didn't continue to pay attention to him. He just raised his right foot and walked forward.
"F * ck, Ling Jian, go to hell!"
Luo Xuan instantly became extremely anxious. The complacency from before in front of Liu Fang Yan was completely gone.
He glanced at Ling Jian behind him. Without waiting for him to finish speaking, he directly punched Ling Jian's chest.
This fist was suppressed by the natural chasm, so it was unable to unleash the full power that Luo Xuan should have. Even so, the power of this fist was still not to be underestimated. Under the power of this fist, even those cultivators who were half a step into the Saint Realm would be severely injured if they were not fully prepared.
Of course, Ling Jian could feel the power of Luo Xuan's fist. However, his calm face suddenly became extremely cold.
"Get lost."
Ling Jian didn't pay any attention to him. Instead, he gave a cold snort. When he saw Luo Xuan's fist coming at him, he didn't dodge. Instead, he raised his hand and waved it, sending a slap toward Luo Xuan's face.
Although Luo Xuan had made his next move, the two of them were not on the same level at all. Ling Jian was late, but he had arrived first. A palm print appeared on Luo Xuan's face.
- Pah! -
The next moment, another crisp sound rang out from the outer area of the chasm. In the ears of the disciples, it was rather ear-piercing.
At this moment, Luo Xuan's heart was filled with anger and shock.
The reason why he was able to come here was because he had already reached his limit. Now, because of his attack, he had been hit by Ling Jian's palm strike. His body, which he had managed to stabilize with great difficulty, was instantly sent flying.
- Puff! -
Ling Jian's palm, as well as the pressure in the sky moat, all happened in an instant. It made Luo Xuan spit out blood. His whole body was sent flying away. He didn't slow down at all. He just fell down to the edge of the sky moat.
It was only for a moment, and then the people of the Tai Xu Palace heard a loud bang, and then Luo Xuan's body fell on the ground at the edge of the chasm, causing a magnitude 9 earthquake.
At this moment, although the outer area of the natural chasm was very far away, everyone could still clearly see the scene of Luo Xuan being sent flying by Ling Jian's palm. After Luo Xuan's body landed on the outer area, the gazes of many disciples from the Grand Void Palace also shot over.
At this moment, Luo Xuan seemed to be in an extremely miserable state. The magnificent clothes he was wearing had become extremely tattered.
At this moment, his eyes were staring at the depths of the natural chasm. His originally shocked eyes were now filled with despair.
Even in the memories of Luo Xuan's voice, this was the first time he had such a day of despair.
At first, he had thought that if he could reach the same depth as Liu Fangyan, he would have a chance to truly surpass Liu Fangyan. At that time, he might even be able to welcome Liu Fangyan home.
At this moment, Luo Xuan was looking at Ling Jian's figure in the depths of the chasm. His eyes were filled with endless hatred.
"Ling Jian, you're really courting death."
Luo Xuan gritted his teeth as he spoke. His short words were spat out word by word.
The surrounding members of the Supreme Void Palace could clearly sense the frightening killing intent that was being emitted from Luo Xuan's body at this moment. Even if they were unable to see through Luo Xuan's heart at this moment, they would definitely be able to guess it. The current Luo Xuan had the most original thoughts in his heart.
However, it made sense. Whoever was sent flying by a slap in front of so many people's eyes would surely have a grudge in their heart.
Furthermore, Luo Xuan loved Liu Fangyan even more. To be sent flying in front of the woman he loved, this was definitely the most unacceptable thing in the world.
...
At this moment, even though Luo Xuan, who was at the outer layer, was almost unable to control his emotions due to Ling Jianqi.
However, Ling Jian didn't even bother to open his eyes to look at Luo Xuan.
Earlier, Luo Xuan had already expressed his hostility towards him, but Ling Jian didn't take it to heart. Now, Luo Xuan actually dared to attack him. This was undoubtedly a provocation, and he naturally wouldn't tolerate it.
That slap was just a small lesson for Luo Xuan. If he wanted to kill Luo Xuan, it wouldn't be as simple as a slap.
At this moment, Ling Jian's gaze once again fell on the deepest part of the chasm. Suddenly, he thought of Liu Fangyan who was beside him, and then he turned around to look over.
At the same time, Liu Fangyan also looked over.
In just an instant, the gazes of the two had already overlapped.
In an instant, Liu Fangyan felt as if she had been electrocuted. She quickly looked away, but her face had also turned red in an instant.
In contrast, Ling Jian didn't feel anything, but in fact, there was a strange feeling in her heart. However, he quickly looked away and then looked into the distance. He looked into the deepest part of the chasm.
Dong!
A low and deep sound was quickly transmitted from the depths of the natural chasm. Although it was very deep, it travelled a great distance in an instant.
After Ling Jian sold the bracket in one step, his foot directly landed in the depth of 960 meters.
This step didn't increase his strength by 20 like the previous one. Instead, it increased his strength by 10.
As he took that step, there was a huge change in the stone column below him. The line that represented Ling Jian finally moved from the fifth position to the second.
Ling Jian had directly entered the top three!
"This..."
"Isn't this really too unbelievable? He has actually reached the top three!"
At this moment, all the members of the Supreme Void Palace in the outer area of the natural barrier were all stunned as they looked at Ling Jian's words on the stone pillar. Ling Jian had entered the top three. As for Liu Fangyan, who was originally third place, she had fallen to fourth place.
However, at this moment, none of the disciples of the Great Void Palace paid any attention to Liu Fangyan. Most of them were looking at Ling Jian, who was ranked second.
They had discussed Liu Fangyan's promise before.
They had thought that the first one to achieve their goal would be Luo Xuan, who had been chasing after Liu Fangyan all these years. However, they had never expected that the one who had truly reached this stage was actually Ling Jian.
"Will Senior Sister Liu Fangyan really marry Ling Jian?"
"This... this is also a little too sudden, isn't it?"
"I'm afraid that the entire Great Void Palace will be in an uproar in the future."
"I didn't expect that the final disciple of the formation faction would actually have to marry a new core disciple."
...
The disciples of the Grand Void Palace revealed shocked expressions as they started to discuss.
Luo Xuan, who was lying on the ground not far away, looked at the rankings on the stone pillar with a dazed expression.
"No!"
The next moment, Luo Xuan let out a beast-like roar. His right hand suddenly lost its owner. He could feel that his chest was in pain.
Liu Fang Yan had been taken away by Ling Jian in front of him.
Furthermore, it seemed to be extremely easy for Liu Fangyan to be taken away. Ling Jian's powerful palm strike had sent him flying, and then he had even directly surpassed him in a domineering manner.
Grug!
The next moment, Luo Xuan spat out another mouthful of blood from his heart. After that, his entire body fell unconscious. At this moment, his face was even paler than before. There was not a single trace of blood on it.
However, most of the disciples of the Great Void Palace had their attention on the rankings on the stone pillar, so even the disciples of the Great Void Palace, who were very close to Luo Xuan, didn't notice Luo Xuan's current situation.
The second place was on the stone pillar. When they saw that Ling Jian had entered the 960th place, even Liu Fangyan was stunned.
Without a doubt, even if she tried her best, it would still be impossible for her to achieve such a result.
Yet now, it had indeed been achieved by Ling Jian.
"Do I have to give it to such a genius?"
At this moment, even Liu Fangyan, who was calm, felt her heart was in chaos.
She knew about the relationship between Ling Jian and Tantai You, but because of that, she didn't know what to do.
Now, if he really kept his promise, what would happen to Tantai You?
How would she get along with Tantai You in the future?
However, if she didn't keep her promise, wouldn't she become someone who broke her promise?
Just when Liu Fangyan's mind was in a mess, Ling Jian raised his foot once again in the depths of the 96th step.
Dong! Dong!
After his foot landed, he directly appeared in the depths of the 97th floor.
Dong!
After another foot landed, Ling Jian's body directly appeared at the 980th floor.
Dong!
Ling Jian's figure appeared at the 990th step.
Like this, after a continuous walk, Ling Jian's depth space increased by ten times each time.
Zuo Zi Fei, who was the first on the ranking list, was still the first on the stone column. However, after Ling Jian finished his walk, he was pushed out of the first place and became the second.
However, it was far from the end.
At the moment, Ling Jian's eyes were looking at the place that was right in front of him. He didn't hesitate too much.
The next moment, he raised his foot again. As soon as he raised his foot, he felt a horrible pressure coming at him from all directions.
If it was a normal Great Void Palace, even someone as powerful as Zuo Zi Fei would be crushed by this pressure.
However, for Ling Jian, it only took him a breath to endure the pressure. Under the pressure, his feet fell down.
This time, nothing unexpected happened. It was still ten deep spaces at the same time. However, there was no such thing as a thousand deep spaces. After Ling Jian's final step, he finally showed up in the deepest space of the chasm.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A loud bell sound suddenly appeared between the sky and the earth.
Just as Ling Jian's body arrived at the deepest part of the space, a loud and clear sound of a bell rang out from the depths of the Taixuan Mountain Range.
This sound was like the ringing of a bronze bell, extremely loud and clear. However, as soon as it came to mind, it quickly spread out.
Therefore, no matter if it was the Great Void Palace or the Great Void City, all the cultivators could hear it clearly. It was as if the voice was echoing in their ears.
"What... What is that sound?"
"Why would there be the sound of a bell ringing for no reason?"
"The sound of the bell is so loud. Could it be that something is going to happen?"
"The sound seems to come from the depths of the Taixuan Mountain Range. It's actually so loud and clear?"
"Could it be that something big is going to happen to our Great Void Palace?"
...
Almost all the cultivators who heard such a sound were stunned.
It was because this was the first time they had heard such a sound of a bell.
They were all confused.
However, other than those cultivators that had never heard of it before, the disciples of the Great Void Palace that clearly heard the sound of the bell instantly became extremely shocked.
"It's the sound of the bell again!"
It can't be! Could it be that someone has entered the deepest part of the chasm again?
"It must be. Previously, when the Saint Lady entered the deepest part of the chasm, it was the sound of the bell."
"How is that possible? Is it possible that other than the Saint Lady, there are other cultivators who are more talented than the Saint Lady in terms of cultivation? Does the Great Void Palace really have such a foundation?"
"Who is it? I didn't expect that he would become the second top figure of the Great Void Palace to enter the depths of the chasm."
"This is a good thing for the Great Void Palace. I didn't expect that the Great Void Palace would have another genius like the Saint Lady."
"Isn't this too scary? I thought that besides the Saint Lady, no one else in our Great Void Palace would be able to enter the deepest part of the chasm."
"Could it be Zuo Zi Fei? I remember that Zuo Zi Fei is ranked first on the stone column."
"Zuo Zi Fei, that should be the possibility."
"However, I don't know why, but I feel that it's not him!"
"Who is that?"
"Then who is it?"
...
As the sound of the bell rang out in the Great Void Palace, many people from the Great Void Palace revealed curious expressions. All of them were heading toward the location of the chasm.
In the Great Void City below, such a situation had also appeared in almost all of the large and small factions.
Even the three great clans had figures rushing towards the location of the natural chasm because of the sound of the bell.
There were even some cultivators who had reached the Saint Origin Stage among them. Even the heads of the three clans were rushing over to where the chasm was.
...
In the Great Void Palace, where the elders were.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
When the deafening sound of the bell rang out across the entire Grand Illusionary Palace, it naturally reached the level of the elders without a hitch.
Inside the Steamed Bun God's cave, when he heard the ringing of the bell outside, Bai Zishen's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, and within them, there was a flash of light.
"It's Ling Jian!"
In just an instant, Bai Zishen thought of the reason behind the sound of the bell.
Previously, Ling Jian had just left his place and had even asked about the matter of the heavenly moat.
Now, the bell was ringing. If it was just a coincidence, then it was too much of a coincidence.
"Haha. I was right about you. I didn't expect you to be so talented. If so, you might even surpass the Saintess."
Bai Zishen laughed out loud. Although everyone in the Great Void Palace thought that the Saint Lady's cultivation talent was unparalleled, now that Ling Jian had also appeared in the deepest part of the chasm, it proved too many things.
Ling Jian's talent was not inferior to the Saint Lady's at all. In fact, from a certain point of view, he was even more talented than the Saint Lady.
Ling Jian was only at the Heavenly Source Realm at the moment.
However, when the Saintess ascended the mountain, she was already at the late stage of the God's Retribution Realm.
If Ling Jian was in the God's Retribution Realm, he wouldn't dare to say anything. However, he was only in the Heavenly Source Realm at the moment. Obviously, Ling Jian had more potential.
