Su Ling's Time Travel

Upon hearing this, the sect leader's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Shen Miao, as a disciple of the Tianxuan Sect, you have done such a thing. Do you even know your mistake?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Miao trembled and immediately knelt down: "Sect Leader, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again."

The sect leader gazed at Shen Miao, a complex light flickering in his eyes. He knew that although Shen Miao was a man of deep thoughts, he also had his reasons. But as the sect leader, he could not let personal matters interfere with public duty.

"Shen Miao, you have committed a grave error and deserve punishment," the sect leader said in a deep voice. "However, considering that this is your first offense and that you have shown a good attitude in admitting your mistake, I will spare you this time. But while you may be spared the death penalty, you will not escape punishment. You will go to the back mountain to reflect on your mistakes for ten years."

The hall fell silent upon hearing this. All the disciples looked at Shen Miao, their eyes filled with sympathy and regret. They knew that ten years of solitary confinement was undoubtedly a severe punishment for a cultivator.

Upon hearing this, Shen Miao trembled, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She knew it was over. Her path of cultivation was now over.

"Thank you for your mercy, Sect Leader," Shen Miao said in a trembling voice, then turned and walked towards the back mountain. Her back view looked so lonely and desolate, like a withered flower.

Su Ling watched Shen Miao's retreating figure, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her. She knew that the feud between her and Shen Miao was over. But she felt no relief or joy whatsoever. On the contrary, she felt a strange emptiness and loss.

"Sect Leader, I have a request to make." Su Ling suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, the sect leader looked at Su Ling, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "What is it?"

"This disciple wishes to request the sect leader to allow Shen Miao to continue cultivating during her period of self-reflection," Su Ling said in a deep voice. "Although she has committed a grave mistake, she is still a cultivator. If she is not allowed to cultivate, her cultivation will regress, and she may even suffer a qi deviation."

These words caused an uproar in the hall. All the disciples looked at Su Ling, their eyes filled with shock and confusion. They had never imagined that Su Ling would be so magnanimous as to plead for Shen Miao.

The sect leader was also taken aback upon hearing this. He looked at Su Ling, his eyes flashing with a complex light: "Su Ling, are you sure you want to do this? You should know that Shen Miao is your enemy."

"This disciple is certain," Su Ling said in a deep voice. "Although she has a grudge against this disciple, this disciple cannot stand idly by and watch her head toward destruction. She is also a cultivator and has the right to pursue cultivation."

The sect leader looked at Su Ling, a hint of admiration and satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He knew that Su Ling had grown into a true cultivator, not only possessing high cultivation but also a broad mind and a kind heart.

"Alright, I promise you." The sect leader said in a deep voice, "I will arrange for someone to build a cultivation place for Shen Miao in the back mountain so that she can continue to cultivate while she is reflecting on her mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Su Ling felt a sense of relief. She knew she had done everything she could. As for Shen Miao's future, that was up to her own destiny.

Inside the main hall, the disciples dispersed. Su Ling also turned to leave, her heart filled with inexplicable emotions. She knew this was merely the beginning of her cultivation journey.

The Cangshan Sect, nestled atop a misty, verdant peak, has been a sacred place coveted by cultivators since ancient times. It not only gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth but also holds countless cultivation manuals and magical treasures, attracting countless cultivators to climb its heights, all in the hope of securing a sliver of immortality.

Su Ling, a girl from the mortal world, unexpectedly embarked on this heavenly ladder leading to immortality. Her figure was light and graceful, and her brows revealed an indomitable determination, as if every step she took was on the pulse of destiny.

The Heavenly Ladder Trial is the most rigorous test for selecting disciples of the Cangshan Sect. It is said that the Heavenly Ladder has nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, each containing different trials and tribulations; only those with unwavering will and exceptional strength can pass. Su Ling, a seemingly ordinary yet strong-willed girl, is steadily ascending towards the top of this legendary Heavenly Ladder.

"Su Ling, are you really determined to participate in the Heavenly Ladder Trial?" Han Yu, a senior disciple of the Cangshan Sect, asked with a mixture of concern and doubt in his eyes. He knew all too well how difficult and cruel the Heavenly Ladder Trial was; even he himself had never tried it lightly.

Su Ling smiled slightly, her eyes shining with determination: "Yes, Korean language senior. Now that I'm here, I have no intention of backing down. No matter the outcome, I'm going to give it a try."

Han Yu sighed softly, seemingly moved by Su Ling's determination: "Alright, since you insist, then I wish you good luck. Remember, the Heavenly Ladder is fraught with danger, so be careful."

Su Ling nodded, glanced gratefully at Han Yu, then resolutely turned around and took the first step on the ladder to heaven.

Each step of the Heavenly Ladder seemed to contain a different power; some were as hot as fire, some as cold as ice, and others were filled with illusions and deceptions. However, no matter what kind of test she faced, Su Ling gritted her teeth and climbed upwards step by step with her unwavering will and formidable strength.
