825: Chapter 219 Fairy Sect_4 825: Chapter 219 Fairy Sect_4 With this Big Seal, one could easily enter the forbidden land, and only then in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms would one truly have a place to settle down.
But would Emperor Luan kindly offer up the Big Seal?
Could this woman ascend directly to the first layer just like the Dragon Turtle Tribe?
Beside Su He, Ji Feixue laughed out, “Gambling is great!
I’ll also place a bet.
I bet my sister can reach the first layer!”
As she spoke, she pointed with her bare hand, and a pure gold hairpin floated out.
Emperor Luan and the Deposed Crown Prince looked at the hairpin, and their expressions changed simultaneously.
Then, looking at Ji Feixue, their eyes deepened.
This was a hairpin refined from the sun!
It was not the Deposed Crown Prince who broke through the Three Yuan Palace Array!
It was Ji Feixue who had slain Feng Shi!
Both were greatly shaken in spirit, and Emperor Luan turned his gaze to Ji Feixue—that was Ji Feixue making it clear she sought revenge for the Azure Dragon.
But why had she not shown any intention upon her earlier return?
His mind whirred; the Deposed Crown Prince was not idle either.
Looking at the hairpin, as if he had thought of something, he took out a Token and tossed it in the air, “Good!
He set down the Token, then looked back at Ji Feixue with a smile, “I shall look forward to this!”
The first layer was really worthless now, did everyone think they could ascend to the heavens in one step?
If there were so many monsters, what use were they?
He lowered his gaze to Su Huanian at the very bottom.
Su Huanian also looked up at him, nodding thoughtfully.
So this was it—the person who had been pursuing him was this man’s descendant.
The blood connection was apparent, a Cultivator could recognize it at a glance.
Just like the relationship between him, Su He, and Ya Ya; to other Cultivators, it was as clear as day.
All eyes turned downward, especially those of Gu Luo and Ancient Locust who seemed almost happy about another’s misfortune.
Su Huanian’s identity was crystal clear to both, wasn’t ascending to the first layer a sure thing?
It was worth giving Emperor Luan a second thought, though.
How could he sense that Su Huanian had such ability?
Emperor Luan too stared at Su Huanian, taking him seriously for the first time.
Perhaps it was the effect of the bet, but aside from the Cultivators who closed off their senses, everyone else turned their gazes on Su Huanian.
Though unable to see from the second layer, Feng Nan was acutely aware of Su Huanian.
Your Majesty originally intended to lose the Big Seal to the Deposed Crown Prince through this opportunity, but it seemed things had gone a bit beyond expectations.
The woman might have been manageable, but the hairpin that Ji Feixue brought out had momentarily unsettled Your Majesty’s mind.
Feng Nan looked at Su Huanian, suddenly stood up, the white clouds supporting him, and he ascended directly to the first layer, falling to his knees below Emperor Luan in salute before stepping off the cloud platform.
Exclamations rose up from below.
Another being had ascended to the first layer.
The difficulty of climbing to the first layer increased slightly.
Could this Fairy of Stepping Sky Three-fold truly ascend?
Everyone turned their attention to Su Huanian.
Amidst the gaze of the crowd, she seemed indifferent.
With a step, a white cloud rose beneath her, lifting her three zhang into the air, before stopping.
This halt lasted four or five hours, until the crowd began whispering, unsure of what was happening, when Su Huanian opened her eyes, her lips curling up slightly, “So that’s how it is.”
As soon as she spoke, a Sword Ring sounded around her, then she took steps one by one towards the Nine Heavens.
She proceeded neither hurriedly nor slowly!
As if she had calculated the time perfectly, by the end of the first day, she had just passed the Seventh Layer, entering the Sixth Layer.
Entering the Sixth Layer without any pause, she continued upwards at the same unwavering pace, stepping into the Fifth Layer as the tail end of the second day concluded.
And then, the Fourth Layer, the Third Layer…
Graceful as a fairy, stern as a sword.
From the moment Su Huanian stepped into the Fifth Layer, exclamations began to fall like rain, her pace of one layer per day more astonishing than Su He taking one year to ascend to the first layer.
There were continuous sounds of surprise, yet no one dared to interfere.
This was no unrooted, tenuous genius.
If she was a common itinerant Cultivator, or if Su Huanian was merely a Qingyuan Gate member displaying such capability, even though she wouldn’t be hindered on the Fairy Ascension Platform, there was no way she’d be unharmed upon leaving this place.
But this woman was the daughter-in-law of the Dragon Turtle Tribe.
Those who dared to harbor crooked thoughts had better consider how many lives they had to spare.
Except for the two simpletons.
Passing the Fourth Layer, Greedy Wolf and Zhengui Envoy, as if by some divine urge, came closer, but without overstepping, they simply called out from a distance, “Sister-in-law, greetings!”
From their expressions, they might originally have wanted to say “Junior sister-in-law, greetings!” But a glance from above had the two beasts cowering.
These were her husband’s followers?
Su Huanian nodded slightly, her figure not pausing as she continued upward step by step.
As she neared Su He and Ya Ya, the sixth day concluded, and she had ascended to the very limits of the Second Layer, held back by the boundary membrane just as Su He had been.
On the first layer, Ya Ya, seeing Su Huanian so close, laughed heartily with her hands on her hips and turned to glance at the gloomy Deposed Crown Prince, asking, “Hey, mister!
Didn’t I say my mom is the mightiest fairy in the world?”
Would she refute her now?
Ya Ya stood tall and proud.
The Deposed Crown Prince’s face twitched, but he remained silent.
Ji Feixue next to him laughed first, “Little one, isn’t there still one layer left?
Aren’t you afraid your mom can’t make it up?”
Ya Ya giggled, “Not afraid!” She called out to Su Huanian, “Mom, come on up!”
Su Huanian chuckled lightly, “Alright!”
A flash of Sword Light appeared, and the boundary membrane obstructing her path opened instantly.
With one step, she was on the first layer.
