  Huh, huh, huh!

  A loud, labored breathing sound echoed on the black stone mountain, the Heavenly Stairway was really extremely abnormal. The heavy pressure kept increasing on their bodies, and each of them felt like they had a huge mountain on their backs, which was getting heavier and heavier, wanting to bend their spines and break their legs.

  The most relaxed was Wang Qian, whose Nine Turns Body Tempering Technique had reached the third turn, not only his muscles and bones were as hard as steel, but even his internal organs were tempered to be extremely tough, his physical strength was enormous like an ancient dragon, equivalent to a humanoid beast.

  Boom!

  Wang Qian took a step onto the first thousandth step, his body sank, and the pressure suddenly increased tenfold.

  "Hmmph! He let out a furious roar, and his blue shirt ripped to shreds with a loud tearing sound, fluttering in mid-air, revealing his lean, muscular torso. Every muscle was knotted, each thick tendon seeming like steel wire, linking his body together."

  Heh heh, strands of greenish aura were faintly circulating on his skin. This aura wasn't magical power, divine power, or spiritual energy, but rather the pure brute force that appeared when one's physical body reached a certain level of strength.

  An ancient, vast and distant aura emanated from Wang Qian's body. At this moment, the Nine Turns Body Refining Technique went crazy inside his body. Although he couldn't use his divine power, there was still a thread of green divine power flowing through his meridians.

  The external pressure is overwhelming, but at this moment, it suddenly became the best environment for Wang Qian to temper his body, an opportunity that would hardly ever come in normal times.

  "Alright, my physical body is slowly being tempered, although it will also continue to advance, but after all, it's not as fast as tempering like this. This Heavenly Stairway is just right for me to cultivate."

  Step by step, Wang Gan continued to feel the increase in power within himself, the strength of his flesh and bones, and a deeper understanding of his own cultivation.

  A green bull stood at the top of the mountain, a pair of cow eyes constantly watching the performance of three young people.

  When it saw the faint blue light flickering on Wang Gan's body, its eyes lit up.

  "Huh? There are still people cultivating the Nine Turns Body Refining Technique? Alright, very good, it seems that this kid and his master really do have a predestined relationship!"

  The green cow looked at Wang Qian's performance with great enthusiasm, obviously recognizing the kung fu he was practicing and being very happy about it.

  "Hmm? That kid isn't bad either, he's cultivating the Eight Trigrams Divine Body of Taoism!"

  The gaze shifted to Wang Luo's body, and Qing Niu was surprised for a moment, revealing an interested expression.

  Wang Luo, this person, always kept a low profile. Wang Qian originally thought that his magical powers were profound and his divine consciousness was strong, so his physical body shouldn't be too vulnerable. But who would have known, he actually cultivated a kind of Taoist divine body, the Eight Trigrams divine body.

  It seems that the power of heaven and earth, wind and thunder is surging in Wang Luo's body, producing a huge force that restrains his magical powers. On the Heavenly Ascension Stage, he still has a somewhat leisurely air about him, not at all inferior to Wang Qian.

  "It's fine this way, I'd like to see whether your Taoist divine body is formidable or my Nine Turns divine body is more powerful."

  There is competition, there is pressure, and with pressure, one can be motivated to keep making progress. This logic, Wang Qian understands very well. So when he sees Wang Luo step by step advancing on the Tongtian Tower, not only does he not feel jealous, but instead, a strong competitive spirit emerges, and the idea of competing with this genius becomes even more intense.

  As for Ning Hao, this talented disciple of the Tianyuan Sect, although his temperament was not bad and his magical powers were quite deep, they were all useless on the Tongtian Stage. Now he had red eyes, was drenched in sweat, and shook violently with every step, as if he would fall down at any moment.

  Bang!

  He stepped onto the first thousandth step, and the gravity his body endured suddenly increased tenfold. Ning Hao's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and he could no longer support himself, heavily smashing into the icy stone steps, hitting his head and bleeding profusely.

  "Ning Hao, out!"

  A majestic voice, as if from the ninth heaven, seemed to be an order issued by a god sitting on a throne. At the same time, a green light like a rainbow descended from the sky and wrapped around Ning Hao's body. With a flash, he was thrown out of this world. This time, Qing Niu did not cut off one of his arms, which was already very lucky compared to those of the same school.

  Bitterness and resentment completely submerged Ning Hao's heart.

  "Wang Luo, aren't you just born better than me? Your family's elders are all highly cultivated and have abundant resources! And Wang Qian, what are you even made of, to be stronger than me too?! I won't accept this!"

  Furious in his heart, but unfortunately, it was of no use at all. The power of the green cow was too strong. That one beam of green light, seemingly weak, was actually like a divine lock between heaven and earth, something he couldn't even imagine.

  Ning Hao was thrown out, leaving only Wang Qian and Wang Luo continuing to climb the stairs to heaven.

  On the third thousandth step, boom! Ten times the pressure again.

  Wang Qian felt more and more that the weight his body bore was getting heavier, and the effect of tempering was getting better. He no longer cared about anything else, completely immersing himself in the tempering of his body. Threads of green divine power continuously merged into his blood, flesh, tendons, bones, and internal organs. This tempering was all-encompassing, without a single blind spot.

  The trials of Tongtian's stairs have become a sacred place for cultivation.

  Now he looks at the black stone steps in front of him, all so beautiful and lovely, what kind of mentality is this!

  Half a day, one day, two days.

  Time was passing relentlessly, and Wang Qian and Wang Luo were trekking endlessly on the Heavenly Stairway.

  Every thousand steps, gravity increases tenfold, this growth rate is terrifying.

  The eighth thousand step, Wang Qian's forehead began to sweat, every muscle in his body was trembling, absorbing the divine power within his body, each cell was exhausted to the extreme, and then penetrated by the green divine power, as if he had taken a great tonic pill, crazily growing stronger.

  Extreme, extreme, constantly challenging the limit, many times, Wang Qian felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, but his tenacious will forced him to move forward, then surpass the limit, break the limit.

  The feeling of being exhausted to the extreme, weakened to the extreme, and then breaking through is simply exhilarating.

  At this time, Wang Luo was far inferior to Wang Qian in terms of physical strength and had already fallen behind him by five hundred levels. However, as the core disciple of Tianyuan Sect, he was a peerless genius with extraordinary talent, innate quality, and wisdom that were all at the top level.

  Looking at Wang Qian's back, his eyes were as determined as ever, and every step he took was very firm, without a hint of wavering.

  This is a contest of wills, with no possibility of cheating or trickery.

  But this ordeal is also the most tempering for people, and the benefits to those who cultivate are not small. At least in these short few days, Wang Qian's and Wang Luo's physical bodies have strengthened by more than double.

  This progress, if it is practiced step by step, will take decades or even hundreds of years to polish.

  Five days, a full five days later, Wang Qian finally saw the shadow of the green cow.

  Boom!

  One step forward, all the restraints completely disappeared, and a thick green light emanated from his body, soaring into the sky like a wheel of green sun.

  With one breath, the cyan space stirred up a storm, and the dense cyan light was absorbed by Wang Qian, merging into his body and transforming into divine power.

  For five whole days, the divine power within him had been nearly depleted from tempering his physical body. Now that he began to absorb and cultivate, it was like a mountain flood bursting forth, unstoppable and overwhelming, surging and churning like a tidal wave of ten thousand miles.

  Nor did he know what kind of energy the blue light that permeated this green space was, but Wang Qian felt that this yuanqi energy was very compatible with his own Jiu Zhuan Lian Ti Jue, and when absorbed, there was not a single impurity, and a large amount of divine power was refined.

  In a short period of time, his cultivation began to increase rapidly, advancing by leaps and bounds. The third turn of cultivation was extremely difficult, he knew it very well, but at this moment, he felt that cultivating was such an easy thing.

  A vast amount of energy burst out from his body, the divine power surged like a tide, and soon reached the early peak of the third turn.

  "Such an opportunity, once in a thousand years, the third turn gives me a breakthrough!"

  With a loud gulp, Wang Qian opened his mouth again and took in another deep breath. At this moment, his entire body seemed to transform into a black hole, as large amounts of cyan energy converged towards him, and he absorbed it all without exception.

  Collapse!

  Breaking free from shackles, the prelude to the third transformation was directly shattered by surging energy. A vast expanse of azure sea appeared around him, manifesting a virtual shadow. A magnificent golden bridge spanned the ocean, emitting an aura of profound mystery and powerful, sharp force that tore through the sky.

  The green cow next to him was shocked by Wang Qian's sudden outburst, a pair of cow eyes wide open, staring fixedly at the intense green light in front of him.

  In the third turn of the pre-period, the peak of the pre-period, the third turn of the mid-period, with a large amount of cyan energy constantly pouring in, Wang Qian's cultivation still had no end, he was still continuing to break through, finally stopping at the mid-period peak of the third turn, the wild power all over his body slowly subsiding.
