Dethrone me, I don't want the throne anymore, why are you so angry?

As soon as the words fell, everyone quickly stepped back.

There were a few people with lower cultivation levels who were not as fast. Before they could react, they were enveloped by the Nine Netherworld's blood energy. The next moment, their bodies began to decay and they fell to the ground with screams.

The ball of Nine Netherworld blood energy also dissipated a little.

Seeing this, Ye Yu looked up at the only remaining light on the top of the mountain. This Nine Netherworld blood energy was just overflowing and there was no subsequent replenishment.

The real Nine Nether Blood Spring should be sealed on the top of the mountain.

"This is the Nine Netherworld Blood Qi. It doesn't seem as scary as the rumors say." Liu Ruyan muttered.

Then he looked at Ye Yu as if he had discovered a new world, with an expression as if he saw through everything.

"Sure enough, the horror of the Nine Nether Blood Spring was fabricated by someone with ulterior motives."

Not only Liu Ruyan, but everyone present frowned when they looked at the ball of Nine Nether Blood in front of them. Some of them had actually seen the Nine Nether Blood Spring.

The blood energy of Jiuyou is indeed a little weak.

However, no matter how weak the Nine Netherworld's blood energy was, it blocked the mountain gate, preventing them from going up.

"This is just a small amount of Nine Netherworld blood energy. Everyone, let's form a formation together and drive it away." Ye Xuan said hurriedly.

Immediately, many people joined forces, and spiritual power roared in front of the mountain gate, gradually pushing the ball of Nine Netherworld blood energy to another place, revealing the entire mountain gate.

Seeing Jiuyou's blood and energy being dealt with so easily, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt like they had survived a disaster.

If this Nine Netherworld blood energy were a little bigger and thicker, not to mention gaining opportunities in this secret realm, it would be a problem whether one could leave alive.

A long stone staircase gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

Many people couldn't wait to climb up.

When someone climbed up the stone stairs, the entire staircase shook violently, followed by a burst of dazzling golden light, and the outer shell of the entire stone stairs gradually peeled off at this moment.

A jade-white staircase was revealed, leading all the way to the top of the mountain.

"This is the ladder to heaven mentioned in the records." Qin Ruoxian said in surprise.

According to ancient books, if one wants to become a disciple of the Shengdan Sect, one needs to go through the baptism of climbing the ladder to heaven. This is also a means for the Shengdan Sect to test the qualifications of disciples. The higher the ladder, the better the talent.

Only those who have been recognized by the Heavenly Ladder can enter the Holy Dan Sect.

Inside the secret realm, while everyone was still marveling at the ladder to heaven, chaos had already broken out outside the secret realm.

All the major forces that received the news have gathered here at this moment. A strong man like Situ Guang, who is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, can only be at the bottom of the list at this moment.

The emperors of all the major dynasties and the leaders of all the sects have arrived at this moment.

After all, a cave where a powerful person in the Nascent Soul stage is suspected to have passed away is enough to drive them crazy.

"Everyone, the news is unclear at the moment. It would be better for us to work together to find out. What do you think?" Ye Fan looked at the people around him and said.

"I think it's okay. How about we discuss the distribution after we find out the situation inside?" The emperor of a dynasty in Leizhou walked out and said.

The situation inside was unclear, and doing so was indeed the best approach at the moment, so many people agreed immediately.

Seeing that most people agreed, Ye Fan nodded and said, "It is rumored that the Qingyun Sect has a secret treasure that can ignore restrictions and spatial barriers to observe the situation inside. I wonder if the Qingyun Sect Master would be willing to take it out and use it?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Qianqiu, the leader of Qingyun Sect, nodded, then flipped his palm and an ancient bronze mirror appeared in his hand.

"This object is called the Sky-Viewing Mirror. To operate it requires an immense amount of spiritual power. I hope you will all join in."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

In this situation, if someone comes out and says that he is willing to consume his own spiritual power to drive the Sky-Viewing Mirror, he would be a fool.

Ye Fan's eyes swept across the Sky-peek Mirror, greed flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "In this case, please ask Sect Master Leng to activate the secret treasure."

Leng Qianqiu nodded upon hearing this, then formed seals with his hands. A ray of golden light flashed across the Sky-viewing Mirror, which then floated up and landed in mid-air. "Now is the time, please infuse your spiritual power."

The leaders of all forces took action together, and the vast and powerful spiritual power was continuously infused into the Sky-Viewing Mirror.

The light on the Sky-Viewing Mirror became stronger and stronger. The next moment, a buzzing sound erupted, and then a huge light curtain appeared in front of everyone.

After the light curtain stabilized, the situation inside the secret realm was exposed to everyone.

“Shengdan Sect!!!”

Suddenly someone exclaimed.

The fame of the Shengdan Sect is not limited to Qingzhou, it is also recorded in Yunlei and other two states. They never imagined that the secret realm actually contained the ruins of the Shengdan Sect.

"Is that the ladder to heaven?" Everyone's attention was attracted by the long stone staircase.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Yu and others in front of the mountain gate were also exposed to the eyes of the crowd.

Qin Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone was fine.

"I see that your descendants or disciples are trying to climb the ladder. If we forcibly break the seal at this moment, it will cause turbulence in the space and the people inside will be in danger. How about we wait and see first?" Leng Qianqiu suggested.

As he spoke, Leng Qianqiu quietly crushed a jade talisman and sent a message back.

The discovery of the ruins of the Shengdan Sect will inevitably lead to competition. Without absolute certainty, we must not act rashly.

Leng Qianqiu was not the only one who had this idea. Several powerful forces also nodded in agreement.

Although other forces were unwilling, they had no choice but to accept it.

"Look, someone is climbing the ladder!" Someone suddenly exclaimed, and everyone ignored everything else and stared at the light screen.

Everyone is looking forward to the person from their own faction being the first to enter the Shengdan Sect. At that time, they will definitely gain the most benefits.

"Let's go and try to climb the ladder to heaven." Ye Yu turned and said to Qin Ruoxian, then followed everyone and stepped onto the ladder to heaven.

The moment he stepped on it, Ye Yu felt a powerful pressure coming towards him, and the spiritual power in his body seemed to be completely sealed at this moment.

"It seems that this ladder to heaven does not allow us to use spiritual power." Qin Ruoxian said in surprise.

"Maybe they think that this is the only way to better test their talent." Ye Yu shrugged indifferently and continued to climb up.

At the beginning, everyone's progress was similar, but gradually, the gap widened.

Many people stopped at the 300th step and could not go up even one step further.

By the time they reached the 500th step, only one-third of the people were left.

Those who were watching from outside with the Sky-peeking Mirror were all amazed.

Those who enter the secret realm are not necessarily the first among the younger generation of the major forces, but they are also the best.

But more than half of the people were eliminated in just 500 steps.

It can be seen from the high threshold for Shengdan Sect to accept disciples that it is worthy of being the former overlord of Qingzhou!

"Someone has reached the 700th step!"

As someone cried out in surprise, everyone's eyes were fixed on the figure at the highest point.

After seeing his face clearly, Ye Fan's mouth corners slightly raised, and then he said proudly: "Not bad, this brat finally didn't let me down."
