Chu Shenwei left. He returned to the arena.

He stepped onto the stairs to heaven, heading upwards.

He quickly caught up with the second person, overtook them, and then charged straight toward Ling Yu!

*He wasn't content with third place. He wanted to fight for second place, or even first place!*

"It seems the first and second places are already decided," said the cultivators watching the stairs to heaven.

In their eyes, there was a look of envy.

Ascension!

*They had no chance!*

*They could only watch as the geniuses went farther and higher!*

In the evening, several more geniuses returned.

They drew their jade tokens and proceeded to compete.

The battles became increasingly intense, attracting more onlookers.

In the inn, He Yi'er and Su Yunke shared a room.

Su Yunke looked dejected, lost.

*She was very sad, very hurt!*

*She had lost the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle!*

*She couldn't ascend now!*

*She felt she had let down the Saint Master's cultivation, the respect of her junior sisters, and she felt ashamed!*

"Senior sister, don't be sad.

When I become a Saint, I'll open the Heavenly Gate just for you and bring you up," He Yi'er consoled.

Although she was comforting her, she knew in her heart.

*She was the Future Body, practicing the Three Life True God Technique.*

*With her talent, she was bound to become a Saint!*

As for bringing Su Yunke to heaven, she wouldn't do it!

Leaving Su Yunke in the Human World was arranged by the Saint Master Yue Qinglan of Taihuang Holy Land!

She had known about this after her epiphany.

Only after knowing about it, did she not inform Su Yunke!

Because their relationship, after her epiphany, became ordinary, usual!

On the surface, their relationship seemed good, but it was just her facade!

*Her mindset, her psychology, had changed since the epiphany.*

"Thank you, junior sister, you're so good to me!" Su Yunke consoled herself.

No matter whether what He Yi'er said was true or not, she accepted this kindness!

"When it comes your turn to fight, you must be careful. All your opponents are geniuses, and they're all strong!" she reminded He Yi'er afterward.

She knew He Yi'er hadn't fought many times, which is why she gave such advice!

How could she have known that after He Yi'er's epiphany, her combat talent had greatly increased!

Compared to Su Yunke, she was several times stronger!

"I will, senior sister. I will give it my all and successfully ascend!" He Yi'er said determinedly.

*She understood in her heart that she was sure to ascend!*

*Yue Qinglan had already arranged everything, just waiting for the right time!*

Suddenly, the jade token in her bosom lit up; He Yi'er quickly took it out.

"Senior sister, my opponent has appeared; I have to go to the arena and fight!" He Yi'er said seriously, gripping the jade token tightly.

Su Yunke nodded.

"Okay, I'll go with you and cheer you on!"

He Yi'er placed her hand on Su Yunke's shoulder.

"Senior sister, you were injured by Chu Shenwei, so why not wait here for my good news?" she advised.

Su Yunke thought about it.

"Alright, then I'll be here cheering for you."

"Thank you, senior sister," He Yi'er smiled.

She leaped from the window and jumped downstairs.

She raised her hand, waving toward Su Yunke.

"Senior sister, I'm off!"

"Go ahead, junior sister!" Su Yunke shouted.

He Yi'er headed straight for the arena, moving quickly!

Su Yunke looked toward the arena and saw He Yi'er's opponent.

"Who is that?"

It was a genius she did not recognize!

"I don't know who that is, but as a genius, they shouldn't be weak!

Junior sister, you're my last hope!

You must win!"

Su Yunke saw He Yi'er jump onto the arena and engage with her opponent.

Soon, she realized something was off.

"What's happening? When did my junior sister become so strong?" Su Yunke exclaimed in surprise.

He Yi'er's displayed strength was astonishing.

Her attacks were sharp, her movements swift, leaving only a trace of an afterimage!

In just a few moments, He Yi'er struck her opponent off the arena with a palm and cheerfully shouted toward the inn.

"Senior sister, I won, I won!"

Su Yunke waved back to He Yi'er with a strained smile.

"Congratulations, junior sister!"

"Senior sister, I'm going to ascend now.

Wait for me, I will come to take you!" He Yi'er shouted again.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you!" Su Yunke had no idea that once He Yi'er left, she would never look back.

He Yi'er climbed the stairs to heaven, heading straight for the Heavenly Gate!

Her speed surpassed many people, almost on par with Chu Shenwei.

"Junior sister, so fast!" Su Yunke exclaimed in astonishment.

The crowd of onlookers also noticed He Yi'er's speed in ascending and was surprised.

"Who is she, being as fast as Chu Shenwei?"

They only knew of Su Yunke, the Taihuang Holy Land Saintess, but were unaware of another named He Yi'er in Taihuang Holy Land.

"It seems she is the junior sister of the Taihuang Holy Land Saintess!"

"Is the Taihuang Holy Land Saintess's junior sister really this powerful?"

"It doesn't seem right. Her speed in ascending is comparable to Chu Shenwei's, maybe even slightly surpassing it, clearly indicating their similar strength.

If she were the Taihuang Holy Land Saintess's junior sister, why would the Taihuang Holy Land Saintess, her senior sister, lose to Chu Shenwei?"

"Exactly, there's no reason for the senior sister to be weaker than the junior sister, especially when the senior sister is a Saintess, while the junior sister is nothing!"

A group of people was deeply puzzled, and Su Yunke couldn't comprehend it either!

Only Yang Yan knew why He Yi'er, who once only stood out for her figure but was otherwise unremarkable, could rival Chu Shenwei!

"Her Three Life Body connected, all her acupoints opened.

Time and Space Daos both attained!

Few geniuses of the same level could defeat her!"

He opened his eyes at this moment, gazing at He Yi'er's back as she ascended.

"Su Yunke lost; it must be Yue Qinglan's arrangement!"

Yang Yan's eyes shifted slightly.

"Su Yunke, come over here!"

His voice reached Su Yunke's ears, causing her body to stiffen involuntarily.

If it were in the past, she could straightforwardly and freely meet Yang Yan!

Since learning, back when they were in the South Continent.

She and her junior sister had both served Yang Yan.

*She was somewhat afraid to face Yang Yan now!*

*Because not only did she break Taihuang Holy Land's precepts, but she served Yang Yan with her junior sister.*

*How could she face herself?*

"What's on your mind? I summoned you. Did you not hear me?" Yang Yan's voice was slightly cold.

Su Yunke bit her red lips.

"Holy Emperor, please don't worry, I'm coming!"

She opened the door and entered Yang Yan's room.

Upon entering, she closed the door.

"Holy Emperor, I'm here to serve you!" Su Yunke said, unfastening her clothes with a flushed face.

Yang Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Who asked you to serve me?"

Su Yunke paused.

"Didn't you ask me over to serve you?" she asked shyly.

Yang Yan stared at her.

"No, I wanted you to come because I have something to tell you!"

"Ah... Oh, please go on," Su Yunke hurriedly buttoned up her open clothes.

"But since you intend to serve me, why don't you serve while I talk?" Yang Yan said casually.

Su Yunke's hand paused.

"I...alright."

She approached Yang Yan and dedicated herself to serving him.

Yang Yan whispered softly to her, and she immediately widened her eyes.

"You really plan to do that?" she exclaimed in surprise.

Hearing Yang Yan's plan, she was utterly shocked!

"Yes, since they failed to follow the rules first.

Since they don't follow the rules, there's no reason for me to follow the rules with them!" Yang Yan said coldly.

"Alright, just keep this to yourself."

"Yes, yes!"

On the fourth day, more people returned.

There were more arena matches, while Ling Yu, Chu Shenwei, and He Yi'er had long reached the top of the Heavenly Ladder, entered the Heavenly Gate, and stepped into the first heaven.

The next fifth day, sixth day, seventh day, eighth day followed.

Because time was recorded from the moment Yang Yan returned, ten days had actually passed since the real time.

With only five days left until the Heaven Ascending task test ended!

Five days later, if anyone hadn't returned, it would be considered as a forfeit, and they would lose the qualification to ascend.

"It's been nearly eleven days, and the geniuses of Dongzhou, along with that so-called Holy Emperor Yang Yan, haven't returned yet?

Weren't the geniuses of Dongzhou supposed to be amazing? Why have they struggled so much with this Heaven Ascending task?" jeered someone in the observing crowd.
