They did not know who among them could climb the Ascension Ladder, or how many steps they could ascend. Guan Yue and the other two arrived at the residence of Xiao Hu and the Three Elders. Surprisingly, the three of them lived in a space pavilion where the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was exceptionally rich, making it an excellent place for cultivation.
Inside, there was a Cloud Platform, and on the side of the Cloud Platform was a display screen that could randomly change to show remote projections. They were currently watching clearly as those Major Powers attacked the Celestial Repository.
The second elder, Zhongnan, exclaimed, "Damn it, even the heads of the Seven Great Families have come, along with the Lords of the Five Great Pavilions. The Deputy Sect Masters of the two major Sects are also here. It seems they want to completely destroy the Heavenly Treasure!"
Old Three, Wu Xiang, frowned and said, "Such a large mobilization is truly excessive. They should know that there is a prohibition against large-scale warfare at the Celestial Repository."
The eldest, Xiao Hu, calmly replied, "Don't worry about it. Guan Yue, why don't you take a look at the list of those who have ascended to the ninth level of the Ascension Ladder and Ten Steps?"
Xiao Hu held a Golden Page in his hand that clearly listed the names of those who had reached Ten Steps and Nine Steps.
"These individuals are likely to become immortals in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain in the future; however, so far they lack opportunities, so they may have already fallen. Perhaps they still exist in this world, waiting for their chance."
Guan Yue looked closely at the Ten Steps list, which contained only four names:
Cloud Eagle: Mo High School
World's Champion: South Sky Guardian
Rising Star: Xuan Yuan Dao Zhen
One Flower: Yunya
The Nine Steps list also had four names:
Thunderous Hand: Li Yuan
Open Heaven: Wu Xiaohan
Ling Songyang: Zhang Qimeng
One Finger Extinction: Lu Guang
Guan Yue asked curiously, "Elder Xiao, what is the difference between Ten Steps and Nine Steps? I can't feel any distinction." To Guan Yue, it seemed that as soon as he stepped onto Ten Steps, the Cloud Ladder automatically collapsed, so he did not sense any difference between Ten Steps and Nine Steps.
Xiao Hu laughed and said, "This Cloud Ladder is very crucial. Do you know why it falls automatically? If the Cloud Ladder doesn't fall, it means you haven't satisfied it; you lack the temperament and potential to impress it. When the Cloud Ladder falls on its own, it indicates that you have gained its full recognition and meet the basic conditions for ascension."
Xiao Hu said to Guan Yue, "Guan Yue, please reveal your true form. Do not use the Invisibility Technique."
"What does that mean?" Guan Yue was very shocked.
"Look." Xiao Hu pointed at the list of rankings for the Ten Steps. As he pointed at each name, vivid images appeared above them. Guan Yue watched curiously, hoping to see them again in the future.
When Xiao Hu pointed to Guan Yue's name, an image of Guan Yue appeared, perfectly matching the one on the wanted poster outside. At the same time, all Major Powers in the Dragon Python Heavenly Domain received official notification from the Celestial Repository: Guan Yue had officially passed the Ascension Ladder's Ten Steps. His image was also distributed.
This stirred up a great commotion!
Guan Yue once again drew attention from the Dragon Python Celestial Domain!
Looking at that youthful image, all the Great Powers felt a sense of dread; this young man was incredibly formidable! Despite facing heavy oppression, he managed to infiltrate the Celestial Repository and gain recognition from the Cloud Ladder, successfully ascending the Ten Steps!
This was another genius-level figure in thousands of years. But whether he could escape everyone's pursuit remained uncertain!
Over six thousand years ago, another genius-level figure named One Blossom Yunya emerged. She dazzled everyone and was invincible for over a hundred years, with no one able to shake her position. However, she suddenly disappeared without a trace, and since then, there has been no news of her. Many legends arose at that time, with various speculations flying around.
But she truly never reappeared, as if she had vanished completely.
Now another Guan Yue has emerged, and being a wanted criminal, his brilliance will likely be even shorter-lived than Yunya's.
At this point, Guan Yue was about to take his leave. As he was about to depart, Xiao Hu said leisurely, "Guan Yue, if you can secure first place in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain's Peak Tournament before you turn fifty, I agree to let you come back here once more. You can also take away one Treasure."
"Over time, won't your Heavenly Treasures be completely depleted?" Guan Yue asked curiously.
"No," Xiao Hu replied. "Once someone who took our Heavenly Treasure dies or loses their soul, the Heavenly Treasure automatically returns to the Celestial Repository. So we never run out of our items. On the contrary, we have people constantly searching for various Heavenly Treasures outside, so our collection will only continue to grow."
Xiao Hu jokingly said to Guan Yue, "Of course, if you acquire any Heavenly Treasures in the future, you're welcome to trade them with us; we can give you some advantages—exchanging lower-grade for higher-grade."
Guan Yue immediately understood: "Oh, so you want my items to bear your mark before they return here?"
Xiao Hu also smiled, "This is a mutually beneficial arrangement. It benefits you while you're alive, and it benefits us after your passing. Everyone gets what they want, so what's the harm?"
Guan Yue nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's a win-win situation; it can be done."
Xiao Hu asked Guan Yue, "I've observed that among those attacking the Celestial Repository, there are two or three who could test the Ascension Ladder. Aren't you going to stay and see how they fare?"
Guan Yue chuckled, "No, I still need to steal their Battleship."
Xiao Hu quickly asked, "Do you need a Battleship?"
"Yes, it's quite inconvenient to operate without one," Guan Yue admitted.
Xiao Hu grinned slyly, "You have the Xuan Huang Qi Jade Sphere on you; that can be considered a Heavenly Treasure. If you're willing, we could exchange some items."
"Oh, can we really exchange? I don't have many Xuan Huang Qi Jade Spheres," Guan Yue said, intrigued. He had left half of his Xuan Huang Qi Jade Spheres at the Sky-Sealing Tower on Yongning Continent and only brought one with him this time. If he could trade it for something useful, he would definitely consider it.
"What do you need? If it's just a Battleship you're after, we have a first-class Cosmic Battleship here. It's definitely the best in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain; it can be large or small and has growth potential. Using it in conjunction with you would be a perfect match. What do you think?" At this moment, while restoring the formation of the remaining nine Treasures, Xiao Hu spoke to Guan Yue like an experienced merchant.
Seeing Guan Yue nod, Xiao Hu waved his hand, and a fist-sized exquisite Battleship appeared in his palm. He wasn't worried about Guan Yue running away; he directly handed the Battleship to him. Upon closer inspection, Guan Yue felt strands of Pure Celestial Energy emanating from it.
Thus, Guan Yue cut off a quarter of his Xuan Huang Qi Jade Sphere and gave it to Xiao Hu. Xiao Hu was greatly surprised: "This isn't from Yongning Continent; may I ask where it came from?"
Guan Yue replied honestly, "This item was obtained from within the Spatial Rift; it's truly a matter of great coincidence that I acquired it."
"Spatial Rift? Are there many celestial items growing above?" Xiao Hu's expression became more serious.
"It is said that many medicinal herbs grow up there; we don't know what celestial items they are," Guan Yue answered.
"Such wastefulness! Everything up there is celestial items! It must have been used by you all for medicine. This is infuriating for Old Man," Xiao Hu looked again at the Xuan Huang Qi Jade Sphere in his hand and slowly said, "This is solidified Xuan Huang energy; it's considered one of the rarest items in existence. Giving you just one item for this is too unfair. How about this: I'll give you another Treasure to balance out your piece of Xuan Huang Qi Jade Sphere."
As he spoke, Xiao Hu waved his hands and a red treasure box flew over. Guan Yue took it without examining it closely and stored it in his Cosmic Board Ring.
Guan Yue was eager to test the power of the Cosmic Battleship in his hands and had long since lost focus on anything else.
After Xiao Hu explained some important matters to Guan Yue, he allowed her to leave.
As soon as Guan Yue exited the Forbidden Land of Celestial Treasures, she curiously opened the Cosmic Battleship. She magnified it to its maximum size, revealing that it could extend up to a thousand meters in length, capable of transporting tens of thousands of personnel. Surrounding it were densely arranged Origin Energy cannons and energy cannons, which could be used for attacks with a range reaching up to a thousand meters.
Guan Yue was most concerned about its operational speed. Upon testing, she discovered that its maximum speed could reach nearly five times that of the Dragon Python Escape Technique. Thus, Guan Yue quickly returned to the Deep Pool with White Treasure and Heiqi, stored them in the Sky Peak Tower, and then stealthily left the Deep Pool, heading directly towards the location where those Major Powers parked their Battleships and spaceships.
These items were too valuable to be stored away after just acquiring the Cosmic Battleship; they posed a significant threat and were commonly seen in the world. They would also be useful in the future if she found friends and companions to share them with. Moreover, they could strike against these Major Powers, so she had to act decisively without mercy.
At this moment, the families attacking the Celestial Repository, along with the Lords and two Deputy Sect Masters, received reports that Guan Yue had successfully ascended the Ascension Ladder and reached Ten Steps! She was the first person to achieve this in nearly six thousand years and was currently the Disciple with the greatest potential for ascension!
This news detonated like a bomb on the battlefield of the Celestial Repository.
Those who had issued a bounty for Guan Yue among the sects and empires felt a wave of tension. Even the two sects began to pay attention to Xuan Yuan Shuang. Their only wish was to eliminate Guan Yue before she grew stronger; otherwise, they would face endless troubles!
Meanwhile, some astute clan leaders, Lords, and monarchs began searching for Guan Yue's whereabouts, eager to establish connections with her and offer assistance. If she grew stronger in the future, they would reap significant benefits; even if she fell, it wouldn't matter much. Having such a figure as an enemy meant less worry.
They couldn't understand how Guan Yue managed to enter the Celestial Repository while they were all focused on attacking it. Just moments ago, she had been behind everyone; how did she suddenly qualify for ascending? Could she have infiltrated the Forbidden Land of Celestial Treasures alone?
The Deputy Sect Masters of Nanyue Sect and Nanshan Sect issued orders to intensify their attacks, aiming to breach the Celestial Repository and secure qualifications for Climbing the Cloud Ladder.
