Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying-Chapter 139 - 138: Their Astonishing Perseverance Goes Unwitnessed
Chapter 139: Chapter 138: Their Astonishing Perseverance Goes Unwitnessed
Hearing his younger brother Yang Fushuo’s voice, Yang Fu felt more confident in his heart.
Although Yang Fushuo’s strength wasn’t as profound as his, there was always something unexpectedly remarkable about him.
For example… a spiritual body that hung onto his own.
This spiritual body initially took the shape of Yang Fushuo, but it could alter its form. After squeezing into the crowd, it kept climbing upwards.
Latter, seeing Yang Fu accelerate, it directly transformed into a sword, hanging on Yang Fu’s back all the way to the 700th floor without being affected by the gravitational pull of the Nine Heavens Sky Ladder.
Still and without movement, it resembled a sealed magic artifact… no one noticed that this was Yang Fushuo’s split spiritual body.
After all, the technique of creating a Body Outside Body was something only legendary cultivators of the Divinity Transformation Stage possessed… who could imagine encountering such a thing in a minor competition among Qi Refinement disciples?
Not to mention these watching Golden Core old monsters, even their Nascent Soul masters wouldn’t dare to think in this direction!
Yang Fu was sitting in a meditative pose on the 700th step, his Five Spirit Roots absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with all their might, replenishing the day’s expenditure and rapidly recovering his spent Divine Sense.
[Blessing: Gathering Spirit]
A golden light descended from the sky, facilitating an even quicker recovery for Yang Fu.
Yang Genshuo incidentally sent a shot to Yang Fushuo, who was trailing in last place.
Yang Fushuo had just climbed past the 150th step and had used up all his strength, lying on the steps and gasping for breath.
“Huff! So~ tired~ huff huff~ so~ tired!”
“I’m a~ huff~ First Rank~ huff huff~ and I can’t climb any more huff huff!”
Yang Genshuo said with an amused look on his face, “Good, good, good, the real slackers have been sifted out…”
If one didn’t talk about alchemy, Yang Fushuo’s cultivation talent would indeed deserve to be ranked last here…
Apart from possessing Heavenly Level spiritual fire, he had no other foundational ability to compare with these prodigies.
So it was only logical that he climbed the slowest.
By now, he had genuinely become the laughingstock of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect disciples.
“Look! That slacker has lain down! I bet he’s not far from giving up!”
“Such a Four Spirit Roots cultivator… it would take a whole day to recover his spiritual power, right?”
“The test of the 101st to 200th steps is a cultivator’s most basic cultivation. The final step’s Gang Wind is comparable to the full force of a Qi Cultivation Perfection cultivator. With his mere Qi Cultivation third layer, it’s impossible for him to pass this step.”
“I guess he knows it too. He might as well lie down and rest, waiting for the three-day period to end and thus finish his Nine Heavens Sky Ladder competition.”
“Hehe~ For a Qi Cultivation third layer cultivator to have reached the 150th step is already quite good. Given time, he could become a champion of a region. It’s just that for this competition… he came for nothing.”
“Hmph, he’ll be over the age limit next time. Probably just a relation sent by some elder from the Fierce Sun Dynasty, with no sense of shame. This person deserves to suffer humiliation in the competition.”
“Hey! I’ve found a way to make money… I’m going to place a bet on the last-ranked disciple in this competition!”
“The first place is hard to predict, but isn’t this last place a sure thing?”
“With this move, I absolutely cannot lose!”
The betting cultivators were full of confidence, and other disciples began to follow their bets.
At this moment, just as the masters teaching the scriptures said: this question was free points, for anyone who wanted to take it.
Of course, this ranking had already excluded the ten disciples from the Danai Dynasty, who had given up on themselves. Those cultivators weren’t here to compete; they just came to absorb the spiritual energy of the Upper Sect!
Yang Fushuo, still unaware that he had become the butt of the joke in place of his brother, was lying on the 150th step, cultivating slowly, as if he were an old monk in deep meditation, motionless.

Meanwhile, his spiritual sense… had already reached behind Yang Fu.
After three hours, Yang Fu had adjusted to his optimal state and stood up looking at the last 200 steps.
“Go for it, brother! When brothers unite, their sharpness can cut through metal!”
Yang Fushuo cheered on from behind Yang Fu, adding emotional value.
Yang Fu looked up at the sky, nodded, and stepped onto the 701st stair.
In front of him, a phantom image of a refined young man dressed in a white Daoist robe appeared with a slight smile:
“Junior brother, be careful.”
“Wood Leaf Floating Flower!”
Whoosh!
A flurry of leaves shot out from the phantom’s sleeve towards Yang Fu, fluttering as if scattered by celestial maidens.
“Golden Spirit Sword Skill with Meteorite Sand!”
Yang Fu conjured a huge phantom of a Golden Sword in his hands, streaked with specks of meteorite sand, and cleaved towards the myriad of leaves in front of him.
The leaves, as if meeting their natural predator, were split open by a gap, and Yang Fu’s body nimbly passed through behind the Golden Sword, leaping onto the 702nd step and bowing towards the figure behind him.
“Thank you for letting me pass, senior brother.”
The refined young phantom behind him also bowed and then disappeared.
From the 701st to the 800th steps, the test was magic!
Every step had a phantom, and each phantom represented a disciple from the Twelve Dynasties who had once reached that number of steps.
Yang Fu was about to face a move used by prodigies who had reached such heights over the past several centuries!
Each shadow here represented a legend.
Because the cultivators who could reach the 700th step… were the cream of the crop chosen from among the 120 cultivators of the Twelve Dynasties.
The higher one went, the harder it became!
So far, no one had ever reached the 800th step!
And the challenge of the 801~900 steps… remained unknown to all.
“I wonder which step Yang Fu can reach,”
Yang Genshuo was also looking forward to Yang Fu’s performance.
Competing against the shadows of prodigious cultivators from the history of the Twelve Dynasties.
This scene also captured the attention of the vast majority of people.
After all, the earlier steps were just basic assessments, while the current battles were the essence, most exhilarating!
Seeing Yang Fu break through the elegant young man at the 701st step with a single move, the Golden Core cultivators watched with great interest.
“Yang Fu’s strength in his prime is indeed not to be underestimated.”
“Huh? Brother Guo had quite the style back then… just a bit weak.”
“His magic was flashy but impractical, and it was easily broken through…”
“Right, Brother Guo, what do you think?”
Hearing the others ask this, an elegant middle-aged Golden Core cultivator coughed unnaturally twice.
“This shadow merely exhibited the superficial level of my strength at that time… It doesn’t mean anything.”
He then began muttering excuses such as “I didn’t sleep well the day before the challenge,” “There was a glitch in my cultivation technique,” “Wood Element is naturally weaker against Gold Element,” prompting laughter from the other Golden Core cultivators, and the air was filled with a jovial atmosphere.
“Liquefied Natural Gas Flame Whip!”
Yang Fu conjured a red flame whip in his hands, its power immense with the innate fire of a Heavenly Level Spiritual Fire! It swept away rows of metallic spikes and then he leapt to the 704th step.
Easier than the previous one!
“Thank you for the lesson, Senior Sister.”
Yang Fu broke another shadow’s spell, took a moment to regulate his breath, and then ascended to the next step…
Behind him, Li Yao, drenched in sweat, had reached the 700th step.
Although he had finally caught up with Yang Fu, he had been challenging intensely for more than a day and was now mentally exhausted, only able to watch Yang Fu climb step by step while he rested at the 700th level.
His Spiritual Sense was significantly greater than Yang Fu’s, so he recovered faster.
“I will surely take the first place! To defend the glory of the Heavenly Spirit Root!”
Not to mention the next two challenges, in this first obstacle of the Nine Heavens Sky Ladder, cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Roots had an absolute advantage!
He still had the chance to overtake again.
At this time, Yang Fu was in no rush; he ascended each step with utmost stability, continuously unleashing various spells in his hands, breaking through the spells of those past prodigies.
“Boundless Ice and Snow!”
“Thick Earth Spirit Breath Sandstorm!”
Yang Fu activated Earth Level innate Earth Spiritual Energy to counter the Water Element spell, advancing through the dust to another step.
Earth Level and above quality Five Element Spiritual Energy gave him a significant advantage in the battle against the shadows of those prodigies!
He could always find the attribute to counter his opponent’s spells.
And this scene delivered a great shock to the cultivators of Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect.
“The Five Spirit Roots can fight like this? Right, who was it that just said Five Spirit Roots might actually be the best Immortal Cultivation Talent? I think you have a point…”
Meanwhile, the cultivators still climbing the ladder looked up and saw the leading Yang Fu continuously acting, deepening their understanding of him.
“His spells… mastering the Five Elements, no one can counter him!”
“Heh heh~ Not only is no one able to counter him, all of us except for those with Abnormal Spiritual Roots are countered by him.”
“Yang Fu is indeed a formidable rival! Even Li Yao with the Heavenly Spirit Root is not as troublesome…”
“Fierce Sun Dynasty sure is interesting; they produced a top-notch genius and also a top-notch waste…”
“Hey? Did you notice, these two… they look somewhat alike, and the first two characters of their names are the same; could they be brothers?”
“Perhaps the one below was personally pulled up by Yang Fu…”
People were buzzing with discussion.
Among them, some cultivators with high cultivation levels and unresolved feelings continued to strive hard, their eyes not giving up on the desire for first place.
They might not have the talent of Li Yao or Yang Fu, but their Dao heart… was never weak.
However, everyone’s attention was on those prodigies far beyond the ordinary.
Their impressive persistence went unnoticed.
