System Journey to Godhood

Chapter 113: Advancing to the Seventh Gate (1)

"It's starting! The betting girl is starting to climb again!" The crowd started to buzz again.

"What is her cultivation base, anyway? 6th level of Qi Transformation stage? Can she do it?" One cultivator expressed his doubt.

The female cultivator beside him stared at Snowy in admiration, and proclaimed, "Well, it's not easy! But she is the youngest Sword Grandmaster in Eastern Region, I think she can do it."

Most of the spectators didn't share her confidence but they were eager to watch a miracle happened.

"Let's hope so"

***

Snowy walked into the next stair set in a carefree manner. The pressure applied on the fifth stairs set was at least equal to the full strength of the peak Qi Transformation stage, nevertheless, with her physical strength that was comparable to peak Qi Transformation Spirit Beast, she only felt like having a nice massage.

36th step, 37th step, 38th step.

Snowy was reaching the top of the fifth stairs set in no time.

***

One step more she would reach the fifth gate.

"Freak, she is too devilish! Reaching the fifth gate is like a casual stroll for her!"

"How can she do it? Is she even feeling the suppression?"

The crowd went ballistic, and their excitement reached its peak. No eyes could move from Snowy's figure.

***

As Snowy arrived at the fifth gate, the sword intents within were starting to activate, trying to hack her into pieces.

Her sword intent soared and instantly engaged with those sword intents, absorbing them to further strengthen itself.

Three thousand swords phenomena that automatically appeared when Snowy was utilizing her sword intent became more vivid, its presence became more profound.

Five minutes later, Snowy began to tread the next stair set.

***

Many gulping sounds could be heard amidst the crowd. If it was possible for their eyes to jump out from their socket from the shock, the watching platform would have been littered by many pairs of eyeballs.

All of them had a stupid expression on their face.

". And the fifth gate is passed just like that. She is not even sweating" mumbled one of the cultivators silently.

"Is she at the same level as Legacy Disciple Zi Ling and Sect Master?" asked a cultivator to her friend whose mouth still wide opened, still not recovered from the shock.

"M-maybe? But, even if she can't go that far, she is already showing her unimaginable talent! The Heaven Sword Sect will acquire yet another Supreme Genius!"

"The next stairs set's suppression is at least at the peak lower-level of Golden Core stage. Let's see how far can she go"

***

Snowy started to feel the pressure upon her body, her physical strength alone seemed to not be able to bear with it. The Primordial Qi within her body immediately gushed out, protecting her from the suppression.

Although her essence was only at peak Qi Transformation Stage, the quantity and quality of her spiritual Qi was far exceeding the ordinary spiritual Qi. She only exerted around 5% of her total Qi to negate the impact of the suppression.

46th step, 47th step, 48th step.

She spent a little bit more time reaching the sixth gate compared to before. But still, her effort to move forward was negligible.

***

"."

The crowds were rendered speechless by how easy Snowy reached the sixth gate. Only an hour had passed but Snowy had already been halfway to the top. Even Zi Ling and the Sect Master only reached this point at the last hour of examination.

The members of the Xian Clan had an ugly expression like they were forced to swallow shit. Their conflict with Snowy might give them another formidable enemy. The Xian Clan's Elder had a terrible headache finding the way to deal with this troublesome problem.

On Feng Xue's side, Lin Ming watched with a solemn expression, "She is really going to ascend to the top"

"Of course. She is my Snowy, after all."

Although they could understand why Feng Xue felt so proud, Lin Ming and Zi Ling ignored her smug smile and continued to watch. Only Chen Xiaoyun was responding to Feng Xue's boast with an exaggerated nod while staring intently at Snowy with sparkling eyes.

In the summit of Sword Peak, two people were intently observing the progress of the examination.

"Truly, the young will soon exceed the old," Elder Yang sighed in admiration.

"Is she the one who you said to be a descendant of Ancient Family?" The Sect Master pinched his finger, making some calculation. "Not bad, not bad. Although I'm certain that she is not one of those people, her potential is comparable or even better than the most geniuses of Ancient Family. Interesting, really interesting."

"Sect Master, is she really not coming from Ancient Family?"

"No, I'm sure she is not. She doesn't have the bloodline of any Ancient Family. She is not a Lu, Bai, Hong, Hei, nor Huang. She is far more unfathomable than that. Even I cannot see through her secret."

No one in the sect, except for Elder Yang, knew that their Sect Master was, in the fact, had Ancient Family's bloodline running through his body. In the Eastern Region, maybe only a handful of people knew better about Ancient Family than him.

Elder Yang couldn't help but acknowledge what the Sect Master said. But now, the question that he thought had been solved become unanswerable once more. Snowy became more and more mysterious in Elder Yang's eyes.

"Keep your eyes on her. She might be the key to the change in Eastern Region lately."

"How should we interact with her?"

"Just keep act like you usually do. She is rather close with that Feng girl, no? I hope she can have a sense of belonging in the sect. Maybe we can reap an unexpected benefit."

Elder Yang never doubted that Snowy will be a fortune for Heaven Sword Sect. That was why she was so adamant to invite her to the sect.

"Even without joining the sect, she had given a lot of benefit to us. Thanks to little Xue, she gave us several batches of Golden Core Congenital pill with pill vein I am afraid that I'll be frightened to death when I imagine what she had to offer if she is to consider Heaven Sword Sect as her home."

The Sect Master lightly chuckled when he saw the wry smile on Elder Yang's face.

"But wealth can invite disaster. We should prepare for upcoming trouble," The Sect Master said.

What the Sect Master was true, Elder Yang thought. At this point, Snowy had attracted some frightening enemy like Heavenly Blood Sect. Also, with someone as headstrong as Feng Xue by her side, they were like a magnet for trouble. For example, the incident today.

"What should we do to Xian Clan I don't expect that the matter will develop to this point"

"Just keep observing As long as the Second Elder doesn't directly interfere let's treat it as the matter between the younger generation."

"I understand."

Elder Yang excused himself to the Sect Master and left.

In the serenity of Sword Peak, the Sect Master who was now alone looked at the direction of a towering pagoda beyond the ninth gate of Sword Ascension area.

"We're going to see what is the secret that you hold for so long soon."
