C5 Heaven Climbing Path!

As one of the most prominent sects, the Profound Heaven Sect boasted a membership of over ten thousand disciples. At this time, many of them were training in the forbidden area. These particular disciples were among the older members of the sect, each at least a decade senior to Ye Fann and all at the Ascending Stage of their development. They frequently tested themselves on the Heaven Climbing Path, a challenge that, while difficult, offered the chance to harness the path's inherent power to refine their abilities—a significant boon to their cultivation practices.

Upon Ye Fann's arrival, he witnessed a disciple tumble from the Heaven Climbing Path, his body slick with cold sweat. He sheepishly admitted, "I still can't get past the fifth step."

"Brother Yang, reaching the fifth step is quite an achievement, especially since you're already at Level 9 of the Ascending Stage," another disciple offered in consolation.

"No one has managed to reach the seventh step today," murmured the disciples, gazing at the daunting steps before them with a mix of awe and frustration.

Ye Fann observed the steps before stepping forward with a measured pace.

"Look! Isn't that the Son of The Divine who was just acknowledged yesterday?" someone exclaimed suddenly.

"The Son of The Divine with the awakened Chaos Holy Body?"

"He's only just reached the Ascending Stage. Is he really attempting the Heaven Climbing Path?!"

"Even with the impressive Chaos Holy Body, his level is still only Ascending Stage Level 1!"

"I bet he'll only make it to the second step, and that's probably just because of his Chaos Holy Body."

All eyes were on Ye Fann, filled with a blend of astonishment and eager anticipation. Despite being at Level 1, Ye Fann possessed the Chaos Holy Body, setting him apart from his peers.

Standing at the foot of the Heaven Climbing Path, Ye Fann considered the steps before him, momentarily hesitant.

Why was it called the Heaven Climbing Path?

He knew all too well that each step was more challenging than an actual ascent to the heavens.

"System, how many steps must I take to complete the mission?" he inquired inwardly.

"Host, you must walk the entire Heaven Climbing Path to fulfill the mission," the system responded.

At the system's reply, Ye Fann nearly stumbled, barely catching himself from falling.

Completing the Heaven Climbing Path?

Is that some kind of joke?

Even my Master Sister might not make it to the 40th step!

And they expect me to finish it?

I'm merely at Level 1 of the Ascending Stage, barely qualified to set foot on the Heaven Climbing Path!

This mission is utterly absurd.

With a deep breath, I resigned myself to at least attempt it.

There must be some logic to this system-assigned task.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Fann finally took his first step.

Each step was dozens of meters in length and several meters wide, large enough to hold several disciples.

The Heaven Climbing Path truly seemed like a stairway to the heavens, with steps leading up into the depths of the clouds.

Upon setting foot on the first step, a tremendous force enveloped Ye Fann, as if Divine Thunder from the heavens had struck him, threatening to rip his flesh apart.

With determination, he pressed on.

"He's done it! The Son of The Divine has ascended the first step!"

"Why are you yelling? Are you foolish? The Son of The Divine, with his Chaos Holy Body, should find the first step effortless."

"I believe the Son of The Divine might reach the fifth step!"

"The fifth? Senior Brother Yang only made it to the fifth step, and remember, he's at Level 9 of the Ascending Stage, while the Son of The Divine is at Level 1!"

The crowd buzzed with speculation, their gaze locked on Ye Fann, eager to see how many steps he could conquer.

The second step...

The third step...

The fifth step!

In no time at all, Ye Fann had reached the fifth step!

The onlookers were stunned, unable to believe that Ye Fann had ascended to the fifth step so swiftly!

Truly worthy of the Chaos Holy Body!

They all marveled inwardly.

The sixth step!

The seventh step!

The fifteenth step!

With each advancing step, Ye Fann felt the overwhelming force threatening to crush and tear him apart, yet somehow, he stood resolute.

For some inexplicable reason, he remained unyielding.

There was always a mysterious force within him that kept him from falling, even as he endured excruciating pain.

He knew this force stemmed from the Chaos Holy Body!

At that moment, he could feel his cultivation level had astonishingly reached Level 8 of the Ascending Stage!

It was simply inconceivable!

Ye Fann didn't pause; he continued his ascent.

Shortly thereafter, his cultivation level broke through the Ascending Stage, reaching Level 2 of the Golden Core Stage!

And he had ascended to the 34th step!

The might that coursed through his body had multiplied several times, making his legs tremble and the world before him blur.

Yet, he clenched his teeth and persevered, the mysterious energy from the Chaos Holy Body flowing through his meridians, enabling him to step forward with unwavering resolve.

The disciples below, after repeated shocks, had nearly become desensitized.

Each of Ye Fann's steps seemed to them beyond belief.

At last, Ye Fann arrived at the 43rd step.

"Ah!"

Agonizing pain lacerated his nerves, and he let out a piercing howl as a formidable power surged skyward from within him.

A phantom image materialized behind him, spanning the heavens and the earth.

Beneath this apparition, everyone felt the Great Dao Divine Power transform, as if they were compelled to bow before it.

"The power of Chaos emerges from the void! Has something befallen the Son of The Divine?!"

Within the Profound Heaven Sect, numerous inner sect elders were startled and rushed to the scene.

This included the Sect Master, Yue Ji.

Before long, Yue Ji and the other elders of the Profound Heaven Sect had gathered.

They gazed at the towering phantom image in awe, their pupils constricting as they fixed their eyes on Ye Fann on the Heaven Climbing Path.

"That's the Son of The Divine!"

"He has actually reached the forty-seventh step!"

"He has surpassed the old Sect Master!"

"It's utterly unbelievable!"

Everyone was visibly astounded, their exclamations echoing in disbelief.

To reach the forty-seventh step was a feat no one in the entire Profound Heaven Sect, not even the Sect Master Yue Ji, had achieved!

"We must ensure the safety of the Son of The Divine!"

An elder expressed his concern with a sense of urgency.

Heads nodded in agreement among those gathered.

"My brother is indeed a rare genius, the likes of which come once in a millennium. He amazed me yesterday, and today he has outdone himself," Yue Ji mused with an air of astonishment.

"Sect Master, your discernment is unparalleled!" the Great Elder by her side exclaimed with admiration.

"He's reached the forty-eighth step!" a disciple suddenly shouted in amazement.

All eyes turned to see Ye Fann trembling as he ascended the forty-eighth step of the Heaven Climbing Path, his body slick with cold sweat as he faced the final step.

A palpable tension filled the air among the onlookers.

Completing the Heaven Climbing Path would be a historic achievement, unparalleled and unprecedented!

With the crowd watching intently, Ye Fann clenched his jaw and bravely took the final step.

Everyone held their breath in anticipation.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the Heaven Climbing Path! You have been awarded a quadrillion talent points!"

The system's voice rang out triumphantly as Ye Fann reached the summit.
