The people around him believed, but those outside who haven’t had contact with him certainly wouldn’t.

You’re the one who killed so many people.

There’s no one more bloodthirsty and brutal than you in the Ice Realm.

We’d better stand far away at a place with Ice Origin and watch from a distance for safety.

Especially the experts from the Ice Palace, who looked at each other incredulously.

"What’s he trying to do?"

"Is he provoking us?"

"It must be a provocation tactic, trying to lure us in to kill us."

Ji Cang strongly agreed.

"Don’t fall for it, remain unchanged and let things change naturally!"

"Stay calm and see what tricks he can play."

Brother Cheng was still hoping for more people to witness his show-off, and seeing they weren’t moving, disappointed, he could only accept reality.

Then, without hesitation, he stepped onto the questing Ice Ladder.

Just this first step had an unknown number of people watching with rapt attention.

Don’t be fooled by those outside not coming in, their divine thoughts had all extended inside.

Because they were quite curious about how far Jiang Cheng could go.

Especially the group from the Ice Palace, carrying a ’sweet expectation’ in their hearts.

Ascending the Ice Ladder is enormously consuming, like last time with Yu Bai, who was unconscious after coming down.

Jiang Cheng’s ascent on the Ice Ladder, in their view, was a very foolish move.

If he ends up as exhausted as Yu Bai, it would be easy to kill him afterward.

After stepping onto Level 1, he felt nothing.

No pressure, no illusions, no sense of any special test.

"Isn’t this just a regular step?"

"Could it be that it’s too low?"

So he quickly climbed up by more than a dozen levels.

But still encountered nothing.

"15!"

"16!"

"17!"

Many people below were actually counting on his behalf.

Seeing this scene, they couldn’t help but exclaim.

"The first two challenges passed so easily?"

"What on earth? This is too fast!"

"He’s just climbing without stopping?"

"The earlier stages are nothing, the real challenge is about to come!"

Some had strong pride in the Ice Realm.

"This challenge is from our Ice Realm, he won’t go far as an otherworldly person, don’t worry."

"Exactly, I bet even if he’s strong he won’t make it into the top 20!"

"The three who passed Level 60 were fast on the early stages too... damn this is too fast!"

While they were talking, Brother Cheng had already passed Level 32, officially stepping onto Level 33.

Having seen Yu Bai’s ascent last time, he knew every 16 levels counted as one challenging task.

However, here he still felt no pressure at all.

These steps seemed just like ordinary steps to him.

"34, 35..."

"40!"

"48!"

"This time surely... damn, 51?"

Yu Bai, who had just recovered some primordial qi yesterday and was watching silently from afar, was deeply saddened.

He had barely reached Level 50 that day, squeezing into the top 20 of the Ice Realm.

Just a few days later, he was pushed out again.

Not only that, the key was Jiang Cheng hadn’t even spent a minute, whereas he had struggled for a full day last time.

The comparison was simply brutal!

Even Ji Cang, standing confidently in the distance, widened his eyes with disbelief.

This is a bit abnormal, right?

Is the Ice Ladder so easy to climb?

It doesn’t make any sense!

When Jiang Cheng reached Level 57, the shared sixth position held by the Third Palace Master of the Ice Palace had been broken.

And he didn’t feel disappointed for long, because Jiang Cheng soon crossed Level 60, becoming the fourth person in the Ice Realm to reach this domain.

Whether below or in the distance, the crowd was instantly in uproar.

Everyone knew clearly what this achievement meant.

Especially those cultivators on the scene a few days ago, were on the verge of turning to stone. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

They remembered Jiang Cheng mentioning using the Memorial Immortal Artifact to witness a historic moment, thought it was just boastful nonsense.

Was it actually true?

Did he really make history?

"Did he just make it into the top four, tied for third?"

"This otherworldly person is that formidable?"

"Second place!"

"64!"

"65!"

"He’s overtaken the Great Palace Master of the Ice Palace, he’s first!"

At this moment, let alone the scene, the whole Ice Realm was in turmoil.

Compared to the previous record of slaying three Emperor Realm Seventh Layers, this time ascending first on the Ice Ladder had an even greater impact!

Because this time, he broke the record of an Emperor Realm Eighth Layer expert!

This brought enormous prestige to Brother Cheng!

Even if, in the eyes of many, he remained an outsider, the slightest admiration and shock were inevitable.

In such a short amount of time, he had already gained tens of millions of Immortal Yuan Points.

As the Immortal Yuan Points spread further over time, they would continue to increase.

"How is this possible?"

Emperor Realm Eighth Layer Ji Cang felt deeply skeptical of life.

He had climbed to Level 56, knowing well the difficulty there.

Without exaggeration, that was the greatest challenge he had faced in his life.

Yet now Jiang Cheng, standing at Level 65, was completely at ease, showing no sign of pressure.

"Could he possess the legendary Daoist Heart?"

"It must be it, he has the Daoist Heart!"

He didn’t know his guess was still inaccurate.

In fact, even if an Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Realm came over, they could reach here, but it would never be as easy for Jiang Cheng.

They would definitely face challenges.

Jiang Cheng encountered no tests, simply because of some unique aspects of himself.

"This big shot is too strong!"

"Admiration!"

"I never thought I’d spoken to the top-ranking big shot on the Ice Ladder, what an honor."

The cultivators below were already looking up to him.

"Haha, I didn’t expect I’d be right!"

"I told you the big shot could break the record!"

"You’re just boasting, at that time you were just saying it casually..."

"Can the big shot continue?"

"He should be at his limit soon, right?"

At Level 65, Brother Cheng paused for a moment.

He also felt it was a bit odd.

Why hadn’t he encountered any pressure yet?

What about the tests as promised?

Well, no matter, onward!

Seeing him step again, still maintaining the previous speed, quickly passing Level 70, the crowd was left speechless.

"79, 80, 81!"

"My god, hasn’t stopped yet?"

"Where is he going to end?"

"Could he reach the summit?"

"Is the first person to summit going to appear?"

When everyone realized this, they didn’t know what to say anymore.

Indeed, when the Ice Ladder first appeared, everyone aimed to summit.

But as time passed, this goal gradually faded.

No one could reach the summit, this gradually became a consensus.

The reason for participating in the Ice Ladder challenge was merely to test one’s limits, pursue rankings, and perhaps comprehend the elusive Daoist Heart.

But now as they watched Jiang Cheng’s silhouette moving closer to the finish, they finally remembered something else.

If this Ice Ladder could truly be summited, then one would enter the legendary Ice Origin Valley!
