Simultaneous travel: Shared Chaos Body at the beginning

Chapter 233 The Physical Ladder, the Primordial Spirit Ladder

"I really shouldn't have participated in this battle of prodigies!"

Ning Chuan's consciousness left in the Trial Pavilion was the last to be extinguished. Before it completely dissipated, a deep sense of regret welled up in his mind.

He shouldn't have underestimated the power of the Heavenly Court and harbored wishful thinking; now he has met his end, dying and disappearing from the world.

However, it's too late to say anything now. After the physical body in reality was destroyed, this wisp of consciousness in this space also dissipated.

After Ning Chuan was wiped out, a notice spread throughout the cities of Tianyuan Continent.

"Ning Chuan, a participant in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Prodigy Battle, possesses dark blood and rebellious intentions. He has been identified as a spy from another realm and has been eliminated as a warning to others."

Upon learning this news, all the forces in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were in an uproar.

"Ning Chuan, that king who reigned for six generations in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm was actually a spy planted by another realm!"

"Such a brilliant and talented genius is actually a spy from another country. The infiltration capabilities of other countries are truly terrifying."

"It's a pity that with Ning Chuan's talent, if he hadn't been a spy from another region, he would have had a good chance of breaking into the top 100 geniuses. If he had received the Heavenly Court's full support, he would have grown into a powerful figure who would stand at the top of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"There's nothing to regret. On the contrary, we should feel fortunate. If Emperor Xiatian hadn't been so capable and hadn't discovered in time that Ning Chuan was a spy from another region, the consequences would have been unimaginable if he had actually infiltrated the Heavenly Court."

"Hiss! That makes sense. If we go to war with other lands in the future, and there is such a traitor among the higher-ups, what a huge disaster and destruction it will cause! Just thinking about it is terrifying!"

All factions were discussing the matter extensively, expressing both surprise and relief at Ning Chuan's death.

Besides Ning Chuan, the first round of assessments uncovered several more spies from foreign lands.

Without a doubt, these people followed in Ning Chuan's footsteps.

However, such spies were ultimately few and far between, and most of the young prodigies successfully passed the first level of identity assessment and entered the second level of physical assessment.

Within the black and white space, a hundred-story celestial staircase appeared before Shi Hao.

The second physical test is to climb this hundred-story ladder to the top.

Shi Hao's expression hardened slightly as he first ascended the first level of the Heavenly Ladder.

Suddenly, an invisible force pressed down on his body, from the outside in, putting pressure on his flesh, bones, and internal organs.

The pressure on the first floor was negligible for Shi Hao, and he continued to climb the steps rapidly.

The higher you go on the hundred-story ladder, the greater the pressure on your physical body becomes.

Even with Shi Hao's powerful physique, after climbing to the ninety-fifth floor, he felt as if his body was carrying a heavy mountain on his back, and his steps became unsteady.

But he didn't stop. He continued climbing, to the ninety-sixth floor, then the ninety-seventh floor...

When he reached the ninety-ninth floor, his body was like a rusty machine, making strange creaking noises.

However, he remained standing very steadily, without moving or swaying, as he climbed towards the hundredth floor of the Heavenly Ladder.

Boom!

An immense pressure struck, nearly causing Shi Hao to fall to the ninety-ninth floor.

However, Shi Hao withstood this pressure. Although his body trembled slightly, he still stood firmly on this floor.

After standing for ten breaths on the hundredth floor of the Heavenly Ladder, the physical ladder suddenly vanished, and Shi Hao landed safely on the ground, successfully passing the physical test.

"I didn't expect the physical body test to be so difficult. Even I had to give it my all to pass it smoothly. I wonder how it will be for others?" Shi Hao gasped for breath as he meditated and rested in this space, quickly recovering his strength and reaching his peak condition to prepare for the third level of the primordial spirit test.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Shi Yi was also climbing the ladder to the heavens.

Although his cultivation level was higher than Shi Hao's, the assessment would be adjusted according to different cultivation levels, so the difficulty of Shi Yi's physical ladder was the same as Shi Hao's.

The physical body of someone with double pupils is somewhat weaker than that of other young prodigies of the same level. However, Shi Yi fused with the Supreme Bone and underwent a baptism through the Undying Golden Body Liquid, which greatly compensated for his physical shortcomings.

Therefore, Shi Yi appeared quite relaxed when climbing the first ninety steps of the physical ladder.

However, after the ninetieth floor, he gradually became unsteady on his feet.

In the end, although he also reached the hundredth floor of the Heavenly Ladder, his body was oozing blood, indicating that he had already suffered some damage.

Nevertheless, he stood steadily on the hundredth floor of the Heavenly Ladder for ten breaths, successfully passing the second test.

"The Heavenly Court's assessment is truly rigorous. Even with my specially honed physical body that has reached the pinnacle, I almost failed."

Shi Yi thought to himself, after passing the second test, he rested for a while to restore himself to his peak condition, and then entered the third test.

The third level of assessment is the assessment of the primordial spirit, which is also conducted through a hundred-layered ladder.

However, it will no longer be a test of the physical body, but a test of the primordial spirit.

Looking at the re-emerging Heavenly Ladder of Primordial Spirit, Shi Yi climbed it. This time, his physical body did not feel any pressure, but his primordial spirit suddenly fell into an illusion.

"break!"

Shi Yi's primordial spirit easily broke free from this illusion, and then he stepped into the second level of the Heavenly Ladder.

It was also an illusion that materialized and enveloped his primordial spirit. Compared to the first layer of illusion, it was more realistic and harder to break free from.

However, Shi Yi easily deciphered the illusion and then stepped onto the third level of the Heavenly Ladder.

The Celestial Ladder of the Primordial Spirit not only tests mental strength but also the firmness of will. These layers of illusions are specially customized based on each person's individual experiences.

The higher you go, the more powerful the illusion becomes, and the higher the demands on your mental will.

Although those with double pupils are naturally slightly weaker in terms of physical body, they are extremely powerful in terms of their primordial spirit.

Although the Heavenly Ladder of the Primordial Spirit requires extremely high mental and physical strength, it was not a difficult task for Shi Yi.

The illusions shattered one after another, and Shi Yi steadily advanced, eventually reaching the ninetieth floor.

Upon reaching the final ten levels, even with Shi Yi's formidable primordial spirit power, breaking through the illusion became somewhat difficult, and his speed suddenly slowed down.

With each breakthrough of an illusion, his divine sense would feel somewhat fatigued, requiring a short rest before he could continue to the next level.

Even so, Shi Yi continued climbing and eventually reached the hundredth floor of the Heavenly Ladder.

But as soon as he reached the hundredth floor, a surging illusion engulfed him, trapping him within it.

Shi Yi had a dream in which his cousin Shi Hao, whose Supreme Bone he had once taken, was still alive.

Even without the Supreme Bone, he rose again, becoming a young supreme being whose strength was in no way inferior to his, and challenged him.
