Chapter 157: Chapter 111: The Era of Great Struggle

Translator: 549690339

Jiang Ming was truly astonished.

There was really such a terrifying thing: comprehending the mysteries of the universe's operation, observing the ways of heaven and earth, and even sorting out oneself, peering into oneself, as if dissecting oneself completely and clearly, and putting the heavenly path right before your eyes.

“If I were to use it, with my hundredfold comprehension, what kind of chemical reaction would it produce?”

At this moment, Jiang Ming's heart beat violently.

For the first volume, he must have it.

Now, he had to strive even more.

“June 15th in the year 9918 of the Tianwu Calendar, at 9 AM, the first round of the United States Major Examination begins. Your final position on the ladder and the time you spend there will be your final score.”

The host swung his arm, and thousands of splendid lights fell, creating a beautiful sight. In the end, Jiang Ming and the others found themselves standing involuntarily at the foot of the Heavenly Ladder, neatly arranged, at intervals of more than a meter.

“Brother Jiang, let me compete with you once more. I'll go up first!” Qiang Jiu glanced at Jiang Ming, his body full of sharp presence, and even more so, a spear's shadow burst out above his head, piercing the Ninth Heaven.

He stepped onto the white jade staircase with a slight pause, then continued forward.

“Come on!” Long Aotian waved his fist.

“Come on!” Lan Xin also stepped onto the staircase after a fist salute.

“Brother Jiang, I hope you can still reach the top!” Qin Zhiyan gave her blessing and also took a step up.

“Let's all work hard together!” Jiang Ming nodded to the people around him.

He did not rush up immediately, but instead looked at the candidates who had already set foot on the Heavenly Ladder. This made him notice something off.

Every candidate had a soaring momentum, surrounded by Qi, and even various illusions fell within their reach, and there was no shrinkage of the space in between.

“It's as if, within a tiny space, everyone has their own separate room, not disturbing each other, yet able to fully erupt.”

Jiang Ming's pupils contracted.

Shaking his head and suppressing his thoughts, he stepped onto the staircase as well. In an instant, he felt a strange force invading his body, shaking his will and shaking his spirit.

There was also a low whispering sound, reaching deep into his soul, trying to make him relax, and a strange and enchanting scene appeared before his eyes, wanting to shake his heart.

“Interesting!”

Jiang Ming remained unmoved.

The power from the first step was insignificant to him.

Continuing to ascend, he moved forward step by step.

Jiang Ming kept realizing that indeed, this place could temper one's will and refine one's spirit, providing an intangible improvement.

“One realm of cultivation for every nine steps.”

He noticed it as well.

The first nine steps corresponded to the Martial Arts First Realm, and so on. Because of his strong will and unyielding spirit, Jiang Ming only slowed down when he reached the 37th step.

This corresponded to the Fifth Realm's mental will.

Jiang Ming looked around and found that most of the candidates had also reached the nearby steps.

“All of them are peerless geniuses!”

But they all slowed down as well.

After a brief comprehension, he continued forward.

This still posed no threat to him, and it didn't even play a role in his cultivation.

Thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty…

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ming stopped on the 45th white jade step which corresponded to the will of the peak of the Fifth Realm.

Looking to his left and right, he couldn't help but smile.

More than twenty people had surpassed him.

“There are so many geniuses!”

Even he couldn't help but sigh.

At the very front was a man dressed in white with long hair draped over his shoulders, hands behind his back, and chest held high.

Above his head, divine light gathered and turned into a hanging rainbow, and his chest was filled with dazzling divine light. He looked like a reincarnated immortal, detached from the mortal realm.

This was the Supreme Bone, Shi Lei.

Another one had an overwhelming vitality, like a vast ocean, particularly on top of his head, where the vitality turned into a rainbow with a golden glow.

He was Ye Bai, the Holy Body from Great Wilderness.

There was also someone who seemed to have transformed into a black hole, plundering all power. Jiang Ming noticed that even the strange power emanating from the white jade steps was being torn apart and devoured by this person.

It was extremely terrifying.

Fang Qinghan, the Devouring Body.

There were also Wang Qiutong, Luo Qingchen, and so on, all of them surpassing Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming turned his head and saw that Qiang Jiu was quite far behind, standing only on the 42nd step, his whole body's aura condensed to the extreme, turning into a spear shadow that soared into the sky.

As if sensing something, Qiang Jiu also looked this way. After nodding, his pupils shrank, realizing that Jiang Ming was not exerting any effort at all.

It was as if he were just casually enjoying the scenery during a leisurely stroll.

Qiang Jiu's aura condensed, and he stepped onto the 43rd step.

“You're a good seedling!” A voice sounded from Jiang Ming's right, it was Ji Yunning who was standing there with her hands behind her back.

She looked indifferent, surrounded by sword Qi, and above her head was a condensed and seemingly ethereal Sword Intention, as if she could command all the swords in the world.

Qiang Jiu suddenly turned his head to look at her, bristling with anger.

Good seedling?

Did she really think she was so great?

He had the urge to curse, but looking at her expression, he temporarily suppressed his anger—it was not the time to get angry just yet.

Because he needed to focus on consolidating his mind.

He was already being greatly affected by it.

“You've never shown your full strength up to now. Your temperament is even stronger than that of the Supreme Bone.” Ji Yunning said again, “In this generation of Tianjiao, if you can't step into the 54th Heavenly Ladder, you're nothing but a mediocre person.”

Jiang Ming glanced at her.

He didn't expect this girl to be so arrogant.

The 54th step corresponded to the will at the peak of the Sixth Realm. For most geniuses who were only at the Fourth Realm, this was almost an unattainable height.

“Are you confident?” Jiang Ming asked.

“Of course!” Ji Yunning's tone was indifferent, yet filled with boundless confidence, “Although I am only at the Fifth Level and haven't even opened half of my acupoints, but….”
