As the nine golden rays descended, the Nine Stairs to Heaven opened up. The originally noisy square actually did not turn into a riot, but instead, it became strangely quiet. Almost everyoneâs eyes turned a little red because they all knew that only by ascending the Nine Stairs to Heaven, one would be qualified to enter the Innate Gate and obtain the inheritance of the Innate Temple!
It was supposed to be the biggest secret, and it was unknown when it started but now it was known by everyone around.
At this moment, it wasnât like that these people werenât interested in the nine spots of the Stairs to Heaven, but that they knew that without the Innate Command Token, they wouldnât be able to ascend the Nine Stairs to Heaven.
Staring at the Nine Stairs to Heaven, Ye Zhong smiled, his gaze slowly moving over to Ning Yu, Song Shaochen, and Ye Yihao. Since he was going to fight for a spot, then he would naturally choose the pushover.
Su Yu clearly noticed Ye Zhongâs instantly changing eyes, she seemed to have thought of something, but in the end, she smiled meekly and didnât say much.
The atmosphere in the square remained absolutely silent, as time passed minute by minute, it was as if everyone had frozen in place. However, after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Mo Fanlong from the Mo Clan suddenly slowly walked out. With a flip of his hand, a translucent jade token appeared in his palm. And then, the command token flew out and automatically stopped at the place in front of one of the Stairs to Heaven.
Under the baffling gazes of countless people, Mo Fanlong slowly walked over and then ascended onto the stairs. As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, a golden light enveloped his entire body. Apparently, the Nine Stairs to Heaven had already acknowledged his qualification.
As Mo Fanlong walked out, the expressions of countless powerhouses on the scene changed, but they all ended up holding back, and didnât make any move. Because Mo Fanlong had the strength at the Sixth Layer of Body Tempering, it was enough to shock many powerhouses! They didnât dare to provoke such a character.
However, as Mo Fanlong was the first to step onto it, the eyes of the powerhouses on the scene lit up even more brightly. There were only nine paths on the Stairs to Heaven. If one person ascended, there would be one less spot left. To these people who were pursuing the Innate Templeâs inheritance, missing out on this once was equivalent to missing out on their whole life.
After a few moments of silence, Song Shaochen suddenly laughed lightly, and with a flip of his hand, an Innate Command Token appeared in his palm. With the token in his hand, he slowly walked towards the stairs with an indescribable expression on his face.
âHmph, Song Shaochen, with your strength, I am afraid it would be inappropriate for you to ascend the Nine Heavens Stairway, right?â Looking at Song Shaochenâs actions, the eyes of many people changed rapidly. This was because Song Shaochen was only at the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering, so this level of strength could not intimidate others.
However, upon hearing this, Song Shaochen slowly turned around, his indifferent eyes swept across the crowd, and then he coldly said: âIf anyone wants to snatch the Innate Command Token out of my hand, then make your move now, just donât blame me if you die!â
As his voice faded, the powerhouses from the Song Clan slowly walked out one by one with sneers on their faces. After all, Song Shaochen was the Young Master of the Song Clan, which was one of the Five Great Clans. At the same time, he was also an Inner Disciple of the Xingxiang Sect, so no ordinary ones dared to do anything to him.
Under the strange gazes, Song Shaochen walked out slowly, threw out his Innate Command Token, and stepped onto a flight of the stairs.
After Song Shaochen, Rong Tian, and Lei Ruoxu slowly stepped forward. However, the two of them were extremely powerful. Although many peopleâs hearts were slightly moved, they did not dare to do anything to them.
As four figures stepped onto the Nine Stairs to Heaven, the originally nine spots were suddenly decreased by half, causing the powerhouses present to breathe rapidly.
Ning Yu slowly walked out, faint laughter emanating from the crowd, âSince the rest of you donât wish to make a move, then Iâll take my spot first.â
While speaking, Ning Yu had already walked out. With a flip of his hand, an Innate Command Token appeared.
Upon seeing Ning Yu step out, this time, an expert couldnât hold it in any longer. With a sneer, he instantly dashed out, âNing Yu, youâre only a member of the Chiyun Martial House, do you really think you have the qualifications to ascend the Nine Stairs to Heaven?!â
