Fang Chen pondered for a moment, then stepped onto the Heaven Stairway.
Just as he stepped onto the Sky Stairway, Fang Chen felt the tyrannical power coming from all directions, pressing down on him.
"Hmm? "Physical body strength, martial arts comprehension..." Fang Chen was slightly stunned as he spoke in a low voice.
What was being tested on the Heaven Stairway was the strength of the physical body and the comprehension of martial arts.
Fang Chen quickly climbed the Sky Stairway, and before long, he reached the fortieth floor. When Fang Chen surpassed Xiao Haobo and the others.
"It's Fang Chen. He's still alive." Xiao Haobo was the first to cry out involuntarily when he saw Fang Chen.
Hearing Xiao Haobo's voice, Cheng Fei and Dugu Feng opened their eyes and looked as well. They were shocked to realize that Fang Chen's figure had already appeared on more than forty levels.
"Haha, it's true, Fang Chen did not die." Cheng Fei laughed.
"Fang Chen is lucky, he won't die." Dugu Feng grinned.
Fang Chen gave a slight nod to the few of them, then continued to advance towards the front of the Heaven Stairway.
"Fang Chen, are you alright?" When Zhuge Yuan saw Fang Chen, he was also slightly shocked as he asked slightly.
"I'm fine." Fang Chen said.
Following that, as Zhuge Yuan was in shock, Fang Chen unhurriedly stepped onto the 50th floor, and immediately after, surpassed Feng Yin.
"How is this possible?" When Feng Yin saw that Fang Chen had surpassed him, his face changed greatly. His cultivation level was obviously low, and his strength was inferior to's.
The Heaven Stairway tested one's physical body's strength and comprehension of the martial way, so there was no need to talk about Fang Chen's physical body. Because of the golden heart, Fang Chen's physical body was already strong enough, and with the large amount of Body Refining Ointment he had absorbed previously, his physical body became much stronger than normal.
As for his comprehension of the martial way, with the passage of time, the golden heart was secretly changing Fang Chen's comprehension of the martial way, and even changing Fang Chen's talent.
Therefore, after discovering the test of the Heaven Stairway, Fang Chen revealed a smile on his face. It had to be said that one of them had the highest possibility of reaching the top of the Heaven Stairway and entering the Flame Palace.
Then there were only two people who had the possibility: one was Huo Hen, and the other was Fang Chen.
After a round of rest, Huo Hen once again rushed forward. When he reached the stage, he finally stopped.
Fang Chen advanced forward the Sky Stairway step by step, and time passed slowly.
When Fang Chen reached Level 70, he finally felt a little pressure. However, this bit of pressure could not stop Fang Chen from advancing.
Seventy-one, seventy-two, seventy-three … Eighty.
Amidst everyone's dumbstruck expressions, Fang Chen stepped onto the 80th floor. This scene caused Huo Hen to be a little shocked.
"It's him?" Huo Hen cried out involuntarily.
Feng Yin and the others were even more shocked. They were at the top of the Heaven Stairway, so they naturally knew how difficult the trial of the Heaven Stairway was.
"Fang Chen is really heaven defying, to think that he actually surpassed Huo Hen." Cheng Fei grinned.
"From the beginning, I felt that Fang Chen was not simple. Although his cultivation was very low, he was strong." Dugu Feng said in a low voice.
"Haha, if only Fang Chen had entered the Flame Palace first." Xiao Haobo laughed.
However, when Fang Chen reached level eighty, he finally stopped because the pressure here was too great, and he was no longer able to advance.
"Hmph. You are only temporarily surpassing me. The final winner will definitely be me." Huo Hen sneered, then sat cross legged and began to cultivate.
Fang Chen looked at Huo Hen, and also sat down cross-legged, just that Fang Chen did not cultivate, but took out a spirit stone and allowed the golden heart to absorb it.
Right now, if one wants to reach the top of the Heaven Stairway at the fastest speed possible and enter the Flame Palace, the easiest way is to let the golden heart absorb enough spirit stones, and then increase the strength of the body.
Hiss, hiss, hiss …
While the others were cultivating diligently, Fang Chen allowed the golden heart to absorb the spirit stones.
Time passed by bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. After half a month, Huo Hen had made a breakthrough, and in one go, surpassed Fang Chen to reach level ninety.
As for Feng Yin and Zhuge Yuan, they had also reached level 60, while the others had reached level 40.
As for Fang Chen, he had been sitting cross-legged the entire time.
"Hmph, trash." As he sat cross-legged on the ninetieth floor, Huo Hen's eyes were filled with disdain.
Time passed silently.
A month later, Huo Hen's fleshly body broke through yet again and directly reached the ninety-fifth level. This was the place closest to Flame Palace.
To him, the Flame Palace seemed to be within his reach.
"Hahaha, the inheritance of the Flame Palace is definitely mine." Huo Hen laughed sinisterly.
During this one month, everyone had improved, and only Fang Chen, with his eyes tightly shut, had not moved an inch.
In a month's time, the golden heart had absorbed about two hundred million Middle grade spirit stone, which was twice as much as the last time.
Just as everyone thought that Fang Chen was unable to catch up to Huo Hen, Fang Chen's eyes suddenly opened, and the Spirit Stone in his hand instantly turned into powder.
"Two hundred million Middle grade spirit stone."
Fang Chen grinned, feeling helpless. This time, the number of Middle grade spirit stone that the golden heart absorbed was obviously much more than last time.
However, after absorbing the two hundred million Middle grade spirit stone, the golden heart had once again evolved. At this moment, the golden heart was releasing an invisible aura all the time, and the aura was constantly strengthening Fang Chen's body.
"His body has grown stronger by a lot, and his understanding of the martial way has also increased. I wonder if he will be able to enter the Flame Palace in one go." Fang Chen opened his eyes and said.
In the next moment, Fang Chen slowly stood up.
"Is Fang Chen finally going to make his move?" Zhuge Yuan said lightly when he saw this scene.
"Fang Chen will definitely reach the top this time." Dugu Feng said.
As Zhuge Yuan and the rest waited, Fang Chen's body was emitting a terrifying aura, following that, Fang Chen took a step forward.
Sou sou sou …
The eighty-first floor. The eighty-second floor. The eighty-third floor.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Chen had reached the 90th floor.
Feng Yin and the others thought that she would stop just like that.
However, they were mistaken. After a slight pause, Fang Chen continued to advance.
Ninety-first, ninety-second … When Fang Chen reached the ninety-eighth floor, his expression finally fluctuated a little.
"No …" "Impossible, it's impossible for you to reach the 99th level." Huo Hen roared in anger.
Initially, he thought he was the most likely warrior to obtain the highest inheritance. But suddenly, Fang Chen appeared and actually reached the ninety-eighth floor, which made Huo Hen very worried.
"Sorry to disappoint you."
Fang Chen turned, glanced at Huo Hen, and revealed a sneer, and said.
The moment Fang Chen's words fell, his feet suddenly stepped on the ninety-ninth floor's Heaven Stairway.
Boom …
In the sky, there was a clap of thunder, and the entire Flame Palace was covered by dark clouds.
The moment Fang Chen stopped in his tracks, a blinding light exploded from the ninety-ninth floor of the Heaven Stairway, blocking his body.
"No …" Huo Hen roared in anger, he was unwilling to give up.
Hiss, hiss, hiss …
After the blinding light disappeared, everyone was shocked to discover that Fang Chen had disappeared and the ninety-nine floors of the Heaven Stairway had returned to normal.
"Fang Chen entered the Flame Palace." Zhuge Yuan said lightly when he saw this scene.
"Damn it, why is he able to enter the Flame Palace?" Feng Yin and Huo Hen's hearts were filled with hatred towards Fang Chen.
At this time, within the Flame Palace.
Fang Chen did not know why, but he entered the Flame Palace in a daze.
After entering the palace, Fang Chen realized that the interior of the palace was extremely quiet and simple.
Just as Fang Chen was looking around, he suddenly heard a melodious voice.
"Destined one, you being able to reach the top of the Heaven Stairway proves that you have passed my test."
Hearing this voice, Fang Chen raised his head to look, only to astonishingly discover that in the air above the palace, an illusion had appeared.
"Senior." Fang Chen cupped his hands and said.
This figure should be the master of the Flame Palace.
"I originally set up two tests on the Heaven Stairway. Only warriors who have completely reached these two tests will be qualified to inherit my inheritance." The mysterious man said, "In other words, if I don't meet the requirements, even if I obtain my inheritance, I will still be unable to cultivate."
"Since you have stepped onto the ninety-ninth floor of the Heaven Stairway, it means that your body is strong enough. Your martial arts insight is also higher than normal people, you have the qualifications to become my successor." The mysterious man said.
"I, Daoist Tian Xu, was a warrior at the peak of the Qi Hai realm, what a pity …" Daoist Tian Xu said with a sigh.
Just as Fang Chen was prepared to speak, he suddenly waved his hand, and a ray of light immediately drilled into his mind. In the next moment, Fang Chen discovered that a wave of pain was coming from his head.
"This is the legacy of the Daoist Tian Xu for the rest of my life. I hope you can bring it on a grand scale." After saying this, the shadow dissipated.
Fang Chen sat cross legged, and tried to read the huge amount of information in his mind.
Finally, Fang Chen sorted out the information. There were a total of three parts to the inheritance, the first part was Sky Void Daoist's comprehension of martial arts, the second part was Sky Void Daoist's lifetime worth of knowledge, and the third part was Sky Void Daoist's body tempering technique.
"As expected of an expert at the peak of the Qi Hai realm. This level of cultivation technique is truly exquisite." Fang Chen sighed as he took a glance at it.
"Although the Heavenly Void Daoist's secret technique is not a sword technique, it does not matter." Fang Chen said with a grin.
The Heavenly Void Daoist's ultimate technique was a third grade Emptiness and Emptiness Fist technique.
"Senior Tiankong, this junior will definitely not disappoint you." Fang Chen cupped his hands in the air and said.
However, just as Fang Chen finished speaking, the Flame Palace's door opened again.
