Chapter 853: Chapter 853

"Damn! I understand now!"

"Jian Wushuang... turns out he's holding such a powerful secret card!"

"Damn damn damn! He has ten million points and can directly obtain ten percent of the Kunwu Heavenly Venerate's inheritance. Lin Fan could never dream of this! Ten percent inheritance! What does that mean?"

"What does that mean? Just now, those people only climbed to the twentieth, thirtieth, fortieth, fiftieth... steps and elevated by three or four minor realms..."

"As for Xing Yun before, relying on his own power, he climbed to the First Layer of the Heavenly Palace and directly ascended from Fifth Rank Saint Emperor to the peak of Ninth Rank Saint Emperor!"

"Damn! If Young Lord Jian gets ten percent inheritance directly at the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Palace, with his strength, will he directly become Supreme?"

Upon hearing these two words, everyone's hearts condensed!

Envy, excitement, surprise... all kinds of emotions appeared on their faces, looking up at Jian Wushuang outside the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Palace!

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Jian Wushuang's choice.

"I choose to keep climbing!" Jian Wushuang said solemnly.

"Not bad! Your courage is commendable. Normally, when people reach this realm, they choose to inherit ten percent of my legacy directly, but you chose to keep ascending, proving I wasn't wrong about you!" The voice of the Kunwu Heavenly Venerate's illusion carried a tone of appreciation.

"Thank you, Heavenly Venerate!"

Jian Wushuang nodded gravely.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he took the first step!

The moment Jian Wushuang stepped forward, his whole body shook, and his veins, bones, flesh... seemed about to be crushed.

However, Jian Wushuang gritted his teeth hard, enduring it, while blood trickled from the corner of his mouth!

Jian Wushuang's speed was not fast but very steady. Each step took a pause of a second, as if he were resting, or perhaps adjusting to the terrifying pressure of this layer.

Jian Wushuang's speed wasn't very fast, but it gave people a peculiar sense of shock—a shock not just visual.

The inner shock was overwhelming!

Because with every step Jian Wushuang took, his whole body emitted a crackling noise as if his bones were being crushed.

Under such terrifying pressure yet able to keep climbing, one can only imagine how terrifying Jian Wushuang's determination is!

Finally. Google seaʀᴄh NoveI★Fire.net

At the eightieth level of the steps, Jian Wushuang spewed a mouthful of blood violently, staggering and on the verge of collapsing!

"Young Lord Jian can't hold on?"

"If he can't hold on now, it would be such a shame..."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Jian Wushuang, their hearts in their throats as if they were Jian Wushuang themselves.

Jian Wushuang growled softly, eyes bursting with brilliance, while a faint halo appeared on his surface, resembling a circle of candlelight or a light mist.

With the emergence of this halo, Jian Wushuang seemed to regain strength, with a glimmer in his eyes!

"Why did Young Lord Jian suddenly regain strength? Moreover... his aura has become stronger... as if his internal injuries have healed... what's going on?"

"I get it! It's definitely the Sword Heart Body. Young Lord Jian possesses the Sword Heart Body, which is extremely terrifying and can resonate with Sword Dao. It's this physique that helped him greatly while climbing! It's probably... the Sword Heart Body acting to protect its master!" A man exclaimed incredulously.

Among cultivators, indeed, there were some rare physiques that would protect their masters when in danger.

Everyone was enlightened!

"Young Lord Jian truly is a child of destiny!"

"Yes! With the Sword Heart Body protecting him, who knows how many layers of the Heavenly Palace Young Lord Jian can climb?"

Gu Tong, Ling Jian, Feng Yu, Huangfu Ru, and others were silent.

Their expressions were grave!

In a sense, Jian Wushuang was their competitor and enemy.

Now, with such a terrifying opportunity before Jian Wushuang, how could they not be serious?

However, they could do nothing but watch the final outcome!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Jian Wushuang ascended to the Eleventh Layer of the Heavenly Palace.

Without any intention of rest, Jian Wushuang chose to continue climbing!

This time, Jian Wushuang's speed was incredibly fast, taking only thirty breaths to climb a hundred steps, averaging three steps per breath, reaching the Twelfth Layer of the Heavenly Palace.

"What a terrifying Sword Heart Body!"

Seeing this, the crowd couldn't help but inhale sharply, their hair standing on end.

Twelve Layer Heavenly Palace, reached!

Thirteen Layer Heavenly Palace, reached!

Fourteen Layer Heavenly Palace, reached!

Fifteen Layer Heavenly Palace, reached!

Sixteen Layer Heavenly Palace, reached!

Without pause, under the collective holding of breath, Jian Wushuang climbed to the Sixteenth Layer of the Heavenly Palace.

Jian Wushuang's speed began to slow down; the Sword Heart Body stopped functioning.

Within him, the "crackling" sound resumed, as if his bones were being crushed.

Jian Wushuang still gritted his teeth and persisted!

Seventeen Layer Heavenly Palace, reached!

Eighteen Layer Heavenly Palace, reached!

By the time he reached the Nineteenth Layer, Jian Wushuang was utterly unable to persist, in a terribly poor state, drenched in blood, covered in wounds, a figure of blood!

Even so, Jian Wushuang did not give up.

Under the scrutiny of countless eyes, he climbed the Twentieth Layer of the Heavenly Palace!

Jian Wushuang spent five hundred breaths ascending to the Twentieth Layer of the Heavenly Palace, reaching his limit!

At this moment, Jian Wushuang found it difficult not just to climb further but even to walk!

His perseverance up to this point was entirely supported by sheer determination and grit!

The Void gently quivered, and the illusion of Kunwu Heavenly Venerate appeared, gazing down approvingly: "Not bad! You possess great determination, willpower, and fortune; reaching this point is indeed remarkable! Your Daoist Heart is steadfast, granting you sufficient qualifications to become my disciple! Now, you can receive twenty percent of my inheritance! However, you may still choose to continue climbing. Would you continue?"

"Senior, I choose twenty percent of the inheritance," Jian Wushuang replied with difficulty.

He found it hard to even walk, so how could he continue climbing?

Kunwu Heavenly Venerate's illusion nodded slightly.

At the location of the Twentieth Heavenly Palace, a brilliant beam surged into Jian Wushuang's forehead.
