Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 1437 - 261: Consecutive Breakthroughs, the Nine Nether Tribulation Fire True Art!
Climbing the Heavenly Ladder.
The two of them once again stood before the heavenly ladder.
Only to see a ladder stretching out into the sky out of thin air, vanishing into the clouds.
"Junior Brother, this time I’ll go ahead first!" Shen Yueru said.
"Alright!" Jiang Ning nodded.
The next moment.
Shen Yueru stepped onto the stairs, her figure light as she climbed upwards, as if walking on an ordinary staircase, unaffected by any pressure.
In just a moment, Shen Yueru’s figure disappeared into the clouds.
"Senior Sister’s progress is really fast! It seems the significance of being the Chieftain of Red Flame Cave Heaven is more important than I understood!" he thought.
Every time they met, he could clearly feel Shen Yueru’s rapid progress.
It even gave him the impression that her speed of progress was no less than his.
"The ancient heritage of the Grotto Heaven should not be underestimated!" the thought flashed through his mind.
Just from observing Shen Yueru, he could glimpse the strength of Red Flame Cave Heaven.
If it can make Shen Yueru improve so swiftly, how could Red Flame Cave Heaven be weak?
The next moment.
He also stepped onto the first layer of the heavenly ladder.
Boom—
He suddenly felt a spiritual pressure descending on him from above.
This pressure was strong, but to him now, it was like a gentle breeze, unable to oppress him in the slightest.
"Indeed, I’ve made significant progress this month. This place is truly a good measure of my mental strength," the thought crossed his mind.
When he first came here, he already knew the test standards of this place.
Reaching the hundredth step meant matching the strength of a Yang God expert.
The last time he climbed the heavenly ladder was two months ago, and he had reached this level then.
And now, two months later, he was very curious about what level his mental strength had reached.
This place could give him a clear understanding.
Compared to this, he wasn’t very concerned about the rewards.
Soon.
His figure vanished into the clouds.
Climbing the heavenly ladder, he continued forward, and compared to last time, he felt much more relaxed.
The spiritual pressure on him couldn’t shake him at all and couldn’t stop his steps in the slightest.
In just a moment, he saw a clearly distinct cloud barrier ahead.
This was the threshold of reaching the hundredth step.
Two months ago, coming here, seeing the cloud barrier like a waterfall was already a struggle.
But now, it was effortless.
Even reaching the last ten steps of the first layer didn’t put much pressure on him.
He took a few steps forward and arrived at the cloud barrier like a waterfall.
He stepped forward again.
Then passed through the cloud barrier, and the scene ahead opened up suddenly.
Under his feet was a platform of several square feet.
On the platform, there were new steps.
The steps extended upwards, still disappearing into the clouds.
"Even the Senior Sister is nowhere to be seen!" Jiang Ning was slightly surprised inside, realizing Shen Yueru had reached a higher level of the heavenly ladder.
"The two-hundredth step requires a mental strength akin to an Immortal, symbolizing the potential of becoming immortal—I wonder how close I am now?" The thought arose in his mind, yet his steps did not stop.
Reaching the first step of the second layer.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward.
Boom—
A rumbling sounded in the void, and he felt an intense spiritual pressure fall upon him.
He just felt a heaviness.
"Not bad, it seems far from my limit!"
With this in mind, he wasted no time.
Directly focusing his spirit, he stepped forward.
Gradually, his pace slowed, feeling the spiritual pressure on him increasing constantly.
He silently closed his eyes, and as the intensity increased, he paused for a moment with each step taken.
There were no spectators, his heart was tranquil.
This path, to him, was a road of self-discovery.
With each step, he could feel the descending spiritual pressure, like a hammer falling on him, forging out the impurities within him.
One hundred fifty... one hundred fifty-three... one hundred fifty-seven...
The further he climbed, the greater the pressure felt, increasingly vast like mountains and seas.
"Junior Brother!!!" A sudden exclamation came from above.
Jiang Ning opened his eyes and saw Shen Yueru in a red dress, holding a long sword, her long hair fully let down.
This indicated that Shen Yueru was in a different state at this moment.
Because, in this Inner Realm, they were both spiritual beings.
External changes were reflections of the inner spirit.
At this moment, Shen Yueru was clearly focused and serious.
"Senior Sister, I’m going to catch up with you!" Jiang Ning said with a light smile.
"Junior Brother, you’re really impressive!" Shen Yueru also smiled, then tilted her chin slightly: "But I can’t let Junior Brother catch up, or how could I remain as Senior Sister?"
With these words, Shen Yueru turned, taking a firm step forward.
Glancing over, Jiang Ning knew which step Shen Yueru was on.
That was the one hundred eighty-first step.
This also meant, in terms of mental strength, she was close to catching up with an Immortal.
"It seems everyone has their own destiny!" Jiang Ning thought silently.
He neither envied nor was jealous.
Because he clearly knew the extent of his own potential.
In a certain sense, he was merely at the beginning.
Subsequently, he also climbed steadily to the one hundred sixty-first step.
Boom!!
A rumbling sounded in the void, his figure wavered slightly but stabilized.
After two breaths, he took another step.
Boom!!
Another rumbling sounded over his head, and his figure wavered once more.
