The Fourth Prince spoke with confidence. So what if Lin Changqing's ranking on the Jade Ladder surpassed his father's? So what if he could defeat his father in the same realm?
The hundredth level of the Jade Ladder held a great terror. His father, Qin Wushang, admitted that even with his current Void Return realm, he couldn't pass it. Lin Changqing might be strong, but he was just a Nascent Soul.
The Fourth Prince didn't believe that Lin Changqing's Nascent Soul battle prowess could be stronger than his father's Void Return prowess.
In short, if a Void Return realm cultivator couldn't pass the hundredth level, how could Lin Changqing possibly break through!?
This was also why the Fourth Prince was currently fearless, believing that his bet was certain to win.
"Yue'er, facts will prove who is right. Lin Changqing cannot pass the hundredth level of the Jade Ladder. You are wrong to place your hopes on him." The Fourth Prince sneered twice. "I can only say that you have chosen the wrong man. You believed him and made a bet with me, but the truth will show that he will only bring you great losses. Your Azure Heaven Lantern will be lost to me. This is also a reenactment of the future. Your Chu Kingdom wants to rely on him to turn the tables, but that is impossible!"
The Thirteenth Princess, standing beside him, added with a sneer, "Chu Yue, there's no point in being stubborn now. Soon, reality will show you who is right. The winner of the bet will only be me and Fourth Brother. You should obediently offer up your Azure Heaven Lantern!"
Hearing the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Princess say in unison that Lin Changqing could not pass the hundredth level no matter what, some cultivators from the Seven Kingdoms believed that the two princes were simply agitated. They couldn't accept the fact that Lin Changqing had surpassed Qin Wushang, so they started talking nonsense, even forcing themselves to say things to save face.
After all, according to common sense, with the battle prowess that Lin Changqing had displayed in the same realm, there was a high chance he could break through the hundredth level. For these two to say that Lin Changqing couldn't reach the hundredth level, it must be due to some personal grudges.
However, some people began to carefully consider the words of the two princes. They felt that the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Princess spoke with such certainty, could it be that this hundredth level was special in some way?
"Your Highness, these two are so certain that Lin Gongzi cannot pass. It seems that this hundredth level may be hiding something, and Lin Gongzi may have difficulty passing it." A Chu Kingdom cultivator cupped his fist and said to the Chu Kingdom Princess, with worry in his voice. After all, if Lin Changqing really couldn't pass the hundredth level, then their Chu Kingdom's national treasure, the Azure Heaven Lantern, would be lost!
"It's fine, I believe in Lin Changqing." The Chu Kingdom Princess replied, "You don't need to worry about anything, the Azure Heaven Lantern won't be lost."
Then, the Chu Kingdom Princess looked at the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Princess, "Then let's wait and see who the final winner of this bet will be, whether your Phoenix Divine Tree will be lost to me, or my Azure Heaven Lantern will be lost to you!"
"Alright, then let's wait and see!"
[At this moment, all the cultivators of the Seven Kingdoms are waiting to see if you can break through the hundredth level. After all, it involves a shocking bet: Immortal King Body Scripture, Azure Heaven Lantern, Phoenix Divine Art, Great Sun Golden Crow Body Scripture. Each item is a treasure.]
[Meanwhile, while the outside world is discussing, you have also begun to enter the hundredth level of the Jade Ladder. You hear a grand voice in your ear.]
"Successor, before entering the trial of the hundredth level of the Jade Ladder, I must first ask you if you accept the trial of the hundredth level of the Jade Ladder. This is the ultimate trial of the Jade Ladder. The world of this level will be unprecedentedly dangerous, but at the same time, it will also have great benefits."
"The benefit of the ultimate reward is a treasure that is rare in the world. Its value is not below the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art, and may even be far greater in the eyes of some people. But at the same time, this level of trial also contains unprecedented terror and danger."
"So, do you want to accept the trial of the hundredth level of the Jade Ladder?"
Lin Changqing was currently standing on the hundredth level of the Jade Ladder. Above his head was a huge, illusory face. Hearing the words of the huge face just now, Lin Changqing narrowed his eyes.
"What!? The value of the ultimate reward is not below the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art, and may even far exceed it!?" This sentence alone caused a monstrous wave in Lin Changqing's heart.
What was the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art? One of the Ten Great Heavenly Arts!
It represented the ultimate of clones and had the inheritance of the supreme Fighting Buddha, Sun Wukong. It could be said to be a treasure of the human world.
Looking at the Kun Peng Heavenly Art, which was also one of the Ten Great Heavenly Arts, after Emperor Xin mastered it, he was able to establish an unprecedentedly powerful dynasty, and even counterattack the Immortal Realm. One could know the power of the Ten Great Heavenly Arts.
But now, the huge face above his head said that the ultimate reward of the hundredth level of the Jade Ladder would be something that was no less than the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art, and might even far exceed it!?
What would be the ultimate reward of the hundredth level of the Jade Ladder? Another Heavenly Art? It shouldn't be. If the ultimate reward of the Jade Ladder was one of the Ten Great Heavenly Arts, the huge face wouldn't say that its value would far exceed it in the eyes of some people.
Then it could only be said that the ultimate reward might be a very unique thing.
Lin Changqing was very tempted. Of course, he also noticed the words in the face, saying that this level would have great danger and great terror, which the previous ninety-nine levels did not have.
It could be predicted that this level would be very dangerous.
But great risk comes with great reward, plus this was a simulation.
Lin Changqing felt that he was determined to break through this hundredth level of the Jade Ladder.
On the one hand, the eleventh level of the Nascent Soul and the Immortal King's object had more than fifty kinds of visions, giving him a kind of confidence. He was confident that he was invincible in the same realm.
On the other hand, he really wanted to see what the ultimate reward was. Something that could be compared to the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art, he really wanted to get it.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Changqing looked up at the huge face and asked, "Before accepting the trial, can I ask a question? What kind of treasure is the ultimate reward? Can you reveal some information? After all, I am very curious about what can be compared to the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art."
"Hmm..." The huge, illusory face pondered for a moment, and then said, "Since the successor wants to know, then I can reveal a little bit. With this treasure, you will have infinite possibilities. This is a treasure that even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal would madly pursue."
"I can even tell you that Gonggong and Zhurong, the two Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan in the Primordial Era, launched a conflict and broke Buzhou Mountain because of fighting for this treasure. Now you know how precious it is, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Changqing gasped. Good heavens, this treasure was extraordinary. It was something that even the Ancestral Witches had to fight for.
"I am willing to accept the trial of the hundredth level of the Jade Ladder." Without hesitation, Lin Changqing immediately said in a deep voice.
"Alright, successor." The huge, illusory face nodded, "Then I wish you good luck, successor. Since ancient times, for countless years, no one has been able to break through the hundredth level and take away that treasure. Now it depends on you. I look forward to you breaking this record."
As soon as the words fell, the huge, illusory face slowly disappeared, and in an instant, countless black mists appeared. These mists seemed to come from a misty world in the dark. Lin Changqing faintly heard the wailing of many ghosts.
These black mists were cool on the body. Before he could feel it, Lin Changqing was submerged in the black mist.
[You seem to be swallowed by the black mist world. Your eyes go dark, and when you wake up again, you have come to...]
