Starting from the young master of Haotian Sect.

Chapter 98: Ladder to Deification

Seeing this God-Becoming Ladder, Tang San finally understood the operation mode of this sect and muttered to himself: "This is a cult. On the surface, it is a sect that trains spirit masters, but secretly it attracts spirit masters to refine spirit bones."

Tang Long also nodded, agreeing with Tang San's statement, and said: "Our Haotian Sect also has the trial of the Heaven-piercing Iron Chain. If you want to join the Haotian Sect, you need to walk through the iron chain under specific conditions. The difficulty varies with different spirit powers. It mainly tests the potential of the spirit master. I guess this God-making Ladder is similar."

Tang San hasn't walked on the iron rope yet, but Tang Long and Tang Hu have already done so.

Tang San walked to the metal table of the soul guide device next to him and said, "This should be a soul guide device similar to the soul-testing crystal. It can detect the soul power of the soul master and then arrange different tests to test it. If you pass, you may get unexpected rewards."

Tang San thought to himself: "This should be the Imitation Divine Test."

How could Tang San not be familiar with this mode? He is currently undergoing the divine test.

"Third Young Master, can we try this God-making Ladder?"

Hearing that there were rewards to be obtained, the disciples of Haotian Sect who followed along couldn't help but be tempted. After all, they were willing to follow Tang San to explore the ancient ruins. In addition to the sect's mission rewards, they could also get some free gifts. Many elders and protectors had obtained opportunities and improved their cultivation in the past.

Seeing the eager eyes of these disciples, Tang San fell into deep thought. Tang Long beside him reminded him, "Third cousin, there might be a trap inside this God-making Ladder. This is the Holy Spirit Sect trying to lure soul masters in to refine soul bones."

Tang Hu also nodded. After all, they had not yet found where the spirit gathering basin was. Maybe it was the ladder to becoming a god.

After analyzing for a moment, Tang San said, "The place where spirit bones are cultivated shouldn't be here. The secret room underground is quite secretive, and ordinary disciples shouldn't know about it, so there's no need to forge the metal nameplate. The God-Creation Ladder and the Spirit Gathering Basin should be two different places. Also, this place hasn't been burned by the six-winged angel's flames. I guess the Judgement Angel also knows that the Holy Spirit Cult does indeed help spirit masters, so he deliberately left the God-Creation Ladder undestroyed."

"We only destroyed this sect and the evil soul guides that the soul bones had used to cultivate. However, some beneficial soul guides and facilities that were helpful to soul masters were preserved."

Tang San looked at the sect disciples who had followed him in and said seriously, "My fellow sect members, I know you've risked your lives to follow me into the ancient ruins in hopes of obtaining your own opportunities. I won't stop you, but I do have one thing to remind you. The sect that owns this soul guide is called the Holy Spirit Sect. Based on my investigation, they're not a good force. There might be danger within this God-making Ladder, but the likelihood shouldn't be high."

"If you understand the risks and still want to try your luck, I will allow you to enter the Ladder of Deification."

Tang San didn't act like a dictator and informed everyone of all the risks. If they still wanted to go in, then that was fine. After all, a spirit master couldn't avoid taking risks. How could one become a powerful spirit master if they practiced in a simulated training ground every day?

After hearing Tang San's words, the first one to stand up was Tailong.

"Third Young Master, please let me enter the God-Becoming Ladder. I reached level 39 of soul power half a year ago, but I'm still at level 39 now. The academy's simulated training ground alone won't allow me to break through the level 40 threshold. I'd like to give it a try."

Hearing this, Tang San nodded seriously and said, "Breaking through the bottleneck does require some push. According to the inscription on the stone tablet, you only need to inject your soul power into the soul guide, and then you can enter it for the test."

Following Tang San's instructions, Tai Long walked to the metal platform of the soul guide, placed his right hand on it, and then injected the thirty-nine-level soul power into the soul guide to activate it.

"Level 39 Soul Master, enter Soul Master Trial Channel 3." Suddenly, a mechanical voice came from above. Whoosh! Under everyone's gaze, a burst of light suddenly swept out, and as the light passed, Tyrone's figure disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Seeing Tai Long leading the way in, the other disciples also rushed over, all wanting to try their best to obtain the ancient opportunity to improve their soul power.

Later, Tang Long and Tang Hu also chose to enter the Ladder of Deification, and finally Tang San.

A burst of light swept across, and the moment Tang San entered the Ladder of Deification, he noticed the space around him rippling, and the light in front of his eyes flickered. When the strong light dissipated, he had already appeared on a huge square.

The square seemed endless and filled with an ancient atmosphere. On the bluestone ground, there were countless indentations of varying depths, as if countless battles had been fought here.

"Is this the place where the Holy Spirit Church tests its disciples?" Tang San looked around curiously at the enormous square. He glanced around and then suddenly looked far ahead.

He saw that there was a metal man there. This human-shaped metal thing was lifelike and vivid. If it were not for its metal surface, Tang San would have thought it was a living person. Moreover, Tang San could faintly sense an astonishing soul power fluctuation emanating from this metal man.

"Oh my god?! This metal man is a soul guide?!"

Tang San was also surprised when he stared at those humanoid soul guides. He had seen mechanical puppets, which were humanoid machines that relied on machinery and gears to operate, similar to the Tang Sect's hidden weapons. However, this soul guide was definitely not a mechanical puppet. This humanoid soul guide had a very strong reserve of soul power!
You can even say it's a soul master.

"The soul power fluctuations inside this soul guide are almost catching up with Tang Hu. Is the test of the God Ladder a bit difficult?"

Tang San already knew in his heart that these were probably the tests of the Ladder to Deification, and it was obviously a battle.

The mechanical voice of the God-Becoming Ladder sounded again: "The God-Becoming Ladder challenger has a Soul Power of Level 39. The challenge difficulty can be selected from Soul Sage, Soul Douluo, or Title. Choosing different difficulty levels will produce powerful warriors of corresponding levels, with combat power at Level 39."

At this time, Tang San understood. No wonder this soul guide contained such powerful soul power. It turned out that there were different levels of difficulty.

"So if I choose to become a Saint, I'll be fighting against a Soul Saint at level 39, right? Hey, interesting, this soul guide can actually simulate the strength of a Soul Master?"

Tang San was not in a hurry and looked at the soul guide carefully. It was the first time he heard of this kind of soul guide.

"I'm confident I can reach Soul Sage and Soul Douluo, but can a Titled Douluo possess the combat power of a Soul Emperor at level 39?"

However, just when Tang San was thinking about which difficulty level to choose, the divine test, it, was coming!
