The three of them shook the key in their hands, and the Light Barrier instantly disappeared. After they entered, the Light Barrier restored itself. However, no one witnessed this scene; those Major Powers were unaware that entering the Forbidden Land of Celestial Treasures with the key could create an alternate path, so they continued to attack desperately.
Of course, Guan Yue was secretly pleased. When he passed through the Light Barrier, he felt its power was astonishing, and he knew that only one person could enter through the Light Barrier with the key. White Treasure and Heiqi, being his Primordial Infants, were the only ones who could enter. This Light Barrier was much stronger than the peak Combat Power of the Mysterious Heaven Realm.
The reason for his happiness was the strength of this Light Barrier; the stronger it was, the greater the cost Major Powers would have to pay to enter in the future.
After the three entered, a person appeared. Guan Yue was taken aback; wasn't this the Ramen Man who taught him basic magic when he was in Yongning Continent? However, this Ramen Man did not recognize him. Guan Yue was confused—what was going on? Could it be that there was someone here who looked exactly like the Ramen Man from Yongning Continent? The probability of such a thing happening was too low since such appearances were hard to replicate.
This Ramen Man said to the three of them, "As long as you can defeat me, you will pass my test. But I won't hold back, so you must give it your all."
At this moment, Guan Yue stepped forward and began to spar with the Ramen Man.
What surprised Guan Yue greatly was that this Ramen Man actually used Magic Supreme Technique, and his Magic Supreme Technique was different from Guan Yue's. The Ramen Man's Magic Supreme Technique was filled with a strong aura of slaughter and carried a sense of corrosion; its Devouring Power made Guan Yue feel a deep hostility. It could simultaneously devour both Origin Energy and energy itself, and its devouring nature was terrifying, as if it were directly consuming both the spirit and flesh of its opponent.
In his devouring technique, one could directly feel the consumption of primal energy. In contrast, Guan Yue's Devouring Power was relatively gentle; although it had a strong devouring force against Origin Energy and Primordial Power, others felt a loss akin to flooding but not as shocking as that of the Ramen Man.
Guan Yue also used Magic Supreme Technique to counter him. When their Magic Supreme Techniques collided, Guan Yue felt anxious while the Ramen Man sensed a loss. Guan Yue's devouring was calm; the Ramen Man's devouring was fierce. Guan Yue's devouring flowed smoothly; the Ramen Man's devouring had gaps.
As Guan Yue faced him, he gradually became familiar with the fierce Devouring Power in the Ramen Man's Magic Supreme Technique. Meanwhile, the Ramen Man felt like he was being slowly boiled alive by Guan Yue's approach. The longer it went on, the more unbearable it became for him as he truly sensed the difference between them.
After about an hour, the Ramen Man suddenly jumped out of the battle circle and said to Guan Yue, "I admire your Combat Power; you have managed to comprehend magic to such an extent—it is indeed rare. Please proceed."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ramen Man vanished.
The three continued onward. Guan Yue reflected on their earlier duel and felt he had gained much from it. Devouring Power should instill a sense of shock in opponents—a pain of consuming flesh and blood and an ability to devour souls!
The second challenge on the road to Heavenly Treasure was a vertical ladder made entirely of clouds. It appeared ethereal yet remarkably intricate.
There was only this one entrance; no other pathways existed—just this Cloud Ladder. It truly lived up to its name. The entire Cloud Ladder had only Ten Steps, each step formed by thin strands of cloud—was this meant to test their lightness?
To save time, Guan Yue did not think much and began to climb directly. He focused on controlling his weight while also utilizing Spatial Ability to handle any challenges that might arise on this Cloud Ladder.
As expected, no sooner had his feet touched the first step than a powerful Mental Attack and soul scan struck simultaneously. Along with this Mental Attack came a malicious spirit scan that attempted to collect Guan Yue's Consciousness and delve into his memories and experiences.
Guan Yue immediately launched a counterattack. While defending against the mental assault, Consciousness's defenses suffered, and a significant portion of his memories was stolen, particularly those related to Qilin Academy. After enduring this blow, Guan Yue's Divine Sense function was considerably damaged.
At this moment, far away from Cloud Ladder, there was a Cloud Platform. Despite being called Cloud Platform, it was entirely made of Spirit Essence. Constructing this platform required at least millions of taels of Spirit Essence. The entire Cloud Platform was magnificent and imposing, inhabited by three ancient figures who had been guarding the Heavenly Treasure for thousands of years.
Suddenly, one of the Old Antiques noticed that someone was attempting to Climb the Cloud Ladder again.
He exclaimed in surprise, "What’s going on? Boss, there’s nothing special happening. Why is someone trying to Climb the Cloud Ladder now?"
The boss replied in a gruff voice, "Old Three, just keep an eye on things. It’s been thousands of years since anyone has managed to step onto the third level. I'm anxious; chaos is about to ensue. Who can oversee the world, pacify it, reshape a great era, and establish stability for millions of Nations?"
Old Three chuckled hoarsely and said, "I'll keep an eye on this kid; you handle your business. It's been thousands of years—who has ever reached the third or fourth level of the Ascension Ladder? Boss, how does this kid have two Primordial Infants?"
"Two Primordial Infants? Let me take a look. Yes, these two little ones are his Primordial Infants. Hmm, these two are no ordinary beings; even I can see through their capabilities. I want to see how many levels this kid can ascend."
"Boss, he won't surpass you; after all, you’ve reached the fifth level as an Expert," Old Three expressed great admiration for the boss's achievement.
"Old Three, climbing the Cloud Ladder depends on ability. I could reach the fifth level, which is why I’m responsible for guarding the Heavenly Treasure. However, having two Primordial Infants is an excellent talent. This kid has decent potential." Although the boss felt proud, he remained self-aware and did not become overly arrogant.
Thus, the two elders began to observe every move of Guan Yue. Of course, they were watching through remote projection.
Guan Yue focused his energy and fully engaged in tackling the second step. Before stepping onto the second level, he summoned his own Composite Domain and utilized his nine degrees of Spatial Ability, applying it to the entire Cloud Ladder.
As Guan Yue stepped onto the first level, the entire Cloud Ladder turned black; it became a glowing black structure that sparkled like fireworks.
With both feet on the second level, a force of gravity pressed down on Guan Yue. This level tested gravity itself. Feeling reassured, he recalled that during his time at Qilin Academy, he had endured a test of One Hundred Times Gravity. Thus, he calmly faced this gravitational challenge. As gravity gradually increased, it felt as if he had returned to his days at Qilin Academy. When gravity reached eighty times its normal strength, he still felt overwhelmed. At that moment, he truly realized that an increase in realm did not equate to an increase in gravitational resistance; these were two different domains of ability—being able to fly did not necessarily mean one could run fast, and running fast did not imply having the strongest Combat Power.
When gravity increased to one hundred times its normal strength, Guan Yue still experienced extreme discomfort and pressure. However, he managed to endure it. What made this more challenging than during his time at Qilin Academy was that he could not afford any drop; if he fell even slightly, the Cloud Ladder would break apart.
At this moment, the Cloud Ladder turned gray—a very ordinary color. The entire structure appeared as if covered in thick dust.
On the Cloud Platform, Old Three laughed: "Boss, take a guess—how many levels do you think this kid can pass?"
The boss pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Hard to say; from what I see, he might get through three or four levels."
Old Three chuckled: "You seem quite optimistic about him! If he can pass another level, then he'll be able to obtain an item from the Heavenly Treasure area."
"Perhaps."
The two old men watched with great interest as Guan Yue prepared for his next move.
Guan Yue steeled himself and stepped onto the third step. He noticed that the horizontal bar on the third step was only as thick as a thumb. What could a thumb-thick bar made of clouds possibly mean? Its load-bearing capacity must be minimal.
Guan Yue had to use his Spatial Ability to increase the output of his nine-degree Composite Domain, ensuring that he only made contact with the Cloud Ladder's horizontal bar without putting any weight on it. Only in this way could he claim to have ascended the step.
As Guan Yue's feet landed on the third step, a chaotic scene of swirling clouds suddenly appeared before him. Countless spatial distortions emerged continuously, with rolling logs and stones rushing toward him, accompanied by numerous flying swords, hidden weapons, and even blades.
Guan Yue immediately recognized this as an illusion, but it felt so real that if he swayed even slightly, the horizontal bar beneath him would break. At that moment, Guan Yue focused his mind to digest and absorb this illusion. He realized that he could only create illusions when setting up formations, and he was very curious about this method of conjuring illusions out of thin air. Completely immersed in understanding this technique, he remained steadfast despite the winds and assaults around him.
Just as Guan Yue grasped the essence of it, the Cloud Ladder changed color from gray to white—a simple white—restoring its original hue, indicating that Guan Yue had passed this trial.
On the Cloud Platform, the elder stared wide-eyed at all of Guan Yue's actions and exclaimed in surprise, "He passed the third step so easily; it seems he'll manage the fourth as well. This kid's stability is impressive; I wobbled for quite a while before I stabilized back then."
Old Three gaped, swallowed hard, and quietly watched Guan Yue continue his movements.
Reflecting on his earlier thoughts, Guan Yue stepped toward the fourth level. He was very curious about what challenge awaited him there.
Upon stepping onto the fourth level, there was no immediate reaction. After a moment of sensing, Guan Yue realized that this level tested silence! As his Divine Sense extended outwards, he immediately felt it being Ablated! He quickly halted his probing.
