nChapter 26
nElder Li, who was beside Elder Xie, was very surprised.
nLu Zhen and Mu Qingxue’s performances were obvious to anyone with eyes.
nHowever, he still didn’t see any panic on Elder Xie’s face, nor any reluctance or discomfort from losing the God Altar Pill.
n“Did Su Chen really step into the legendary Forbidden Stage?”
nA thought flashed through Elder Li’s mind. His heart thumped and his expression became serious.
nIn fact, when he made a bet with Elder Wang and Elder Xie wanted to participate, he had been a little bewildered.
nAfter overhearing the outer disciples bragging about Su Chen entering the Forbidden Stage, Elder Li seemed to understand why Elder Xie was participating in the bet.
nHowever, Elder Li’s first reaction was that it was ridiculous!
nHe didn’t have a deep impression of Su Chen, but that didn’t mean that he didn’t know Su Chen at all.
nTwo months ago, there was a huge gap even between Su Chen and Liu Yang. Su Chen was only a Level Seven Qi Gathering Realm outer disciple.
nNot to mention the difference between him and Lu Zhen and Mu Qingxue.
nBoth of them were geniuses, so it was very difficult for Su Chen to equal their performances.
nEven if Su Chen broke through to the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm because of the providence he was blessed with, it was impossible for him to catch up with those geniuses.
nTherefore, Elder Li believed that those outer disciples who boasted about Su Chen entering the Forbidden Stage only wanted to win the debate by ignoring the fact.
nEven when Lu Zhen went on stage, Elder Xie still had unshaken confidence.
nOnly now did Elder Li realize that Su Chen’s entry into the Forbidden Stage was probably not made up out of thin air.
nWhen Mu Qingxue stunned the audience, Elder Xie still didn’t think he was certain to lose and didn’t have that desperate look on his face.
nHe now finally understood that what he thought was ridiculous and impossible was about to become a reality!
nWhen Elder Wang, whose face darkened because Mu Qingxue’s stunning performance outshone Lu Zhen’s, saw Elder Xie remain calm, he was about to say something.
nHowever, at this moment, he was surprised to find that the noisy crowd was now dead silent.
nImmediately after, a dazzling light burst into view.
nIt was as if the stone pillar was holding up the sun. The glaring light shot in all directions and the impalpable golden light rippled along with it.
nIf one were to look from afar, he or she would see that the Trial Peak was blazing with light as if a bright sun landed on the peak in the dark night.
n“What…”
n“What is that?”
n“D*mn, is this the cultivation test of the outer sect trial?”
n“Who can make the crystal ball shine bright like this?”
n“Hiss! What a dazzling light… Did someone enter the Forbidden Stage?”
n“Is it Liu Yang or Lu Zhen? Or Mu Qingxue?”
n…
nThe bright light from the Trial Peak illuminated the entire outer sect.
nMany outer sect disciples who did not go to watch the outer sect trial were attracted by the dazzling light and looked over in surprise.
n“Let’s go and take a look!”
nSome outer sect disciples hesitated for a moment, then rushed towards the Trial Peak.
nAfter entering the Great Mystery Sect for so many years, this was the first time they had seen such an amazing light.
nAt this moment, the Trial Peak was still deathly silent. Everyone seemed to have lost their vocal cords and breathing.
nThe light was so bright that even some outer sect disciples with insufficient cultivation were unable to open their eyes. They could only reach out their hands to block their eyes and watch through their fingers.
nThe dazzling light did not last long. When Su Chen’s hand moved away from the crystal ball, the light quickly ebbed away.
nSu Chen stood quietly in front of the crystal ball, his face expressionless and calm.
nHowever…
nThe entire place was still silent for a few seconds before a violent uproar broke out.
n“THE FORBIDDEN STAGE!”
nAfter an unknown period of time, an excited voice broke the silence.
n“Forbidden Stage! This is the Forbidden Stage! This is the real Forbidden Stage!”
n“This… How is it possible? How can someone really step into the legendary Forbidden Stage”
n“I always thought that the Forbidden Stage was just a legend. I didn’t expect to see it for myself today.”
n“It’s not Liu Yang! Not Lu Zhen! And not Mu Qingxue! It’s…Su Chen!”
n“So my junior brothers and sisters did not brag… It turned out that Senior Brother Su Chen has really stepped into the legendary Forbidden Stage!”
n“The legendary realm has actually appeared! Senior Brother Su Chen has really stepped into the legendary Forbidden Stage just like those junior brothers and sisters said!”
n…
nWhen the silence was broken, everyone was overcome by shock in waves as if there was a chain reaction.
n“This… This is impossible! How could it be the real Forbidden Stage? Impossible! It’s impossible!”
nLu Zhen looked at the scene in disbelief. His expression was filled with shock.
nHe couldn’t believe what he saw.
nHis attempt to find a trace of psychological consolation was completely fruitless.
nSu Chen’s supporters were not boasting!
nHe…
nHe had really stepped into the Forbidden Stage!
nAt this moment, Lu Zhen felt as if his chest was blocked by something, and it was especially uncomfortable.
nLiu Yang, who had been silent all this while with his arms crossed, opened his mouth subconsciously. He wanted to say something, but he didn’t make a sound for a long time.
nHe was dealt the third blow!
nMoreover, it was stronger than the previous two times!
nThe Forbidden Stage!
nThis was a realm that he would never be able to step into with his talent!
nNot far away, Mu Qingxue’s delicate body trembled. Her calm state of mind was punctured once again.
nHer master had told her many times how difficult it was to reach the Forbidden Stage.
nEven she would not be able to step into the Forbidden Stage before her constitution was successfully awakened.
nBut now!
nThis was the first time she had seen a prodigy who had truly stepped into the Forbidden Stage in reality!
nIt was not from the ancient books or her master’s description.
nIt was right in front of her!
nRipples undulated in Mu Qingxue’s heart again. She thought that her master would scold her.
nHowever, the familiar voice in her mind did not reprimand her. Instead, it was filled with endless emotions.
n“I actually misjudged and neglected such a genius… However, it doesn’t matter. If your constitution is completely awakened, it won’t be difficult for you to enter the Forbidden Stage. In this big world, there are countless geniuses. Since he is able to enter the Forbidden Stage in the Qi Gathering Realm, he is indeed something of a genius. But it’s hard to say if he can step into the Forbidden Stage in the Qi Sea Realm or even the God Altar Realm. No! To be precise, you will definitely be stronger than him. With your constitution and the Three Thousand Purity Palace Art, you will definitely be looked up to by him in the future, so there is no need to be emotional about this matter.”
