Spending Money Does Not Decrease But Increases, I Am Invincible With Dual Systems

As time passed, the process of ascending the Immortal Staircase quickly reached its final stage.

At this moment, the few individuals at the very top had already completed the entire journey through the mortal realm and were now stepping towards the final ninety-nine steps.

Although everyone had lost some anticipation due to Tang Tian's inexplicable "disappearance," their enthusiasm remained in the face of competition among several geniuses.

People were discussing who would reach the highest point.

"It must be Qiao Rui from the White Emperor Sect without a doubt."

"He has been leading from the beginning and is now more than ten steps ahead of the second place. It's basically impossible to catch up."

Someone spoke up.

Many people agreed. During this period of time, everyone had witnessed Qiao Rui's performance, and his strength was beyond doubt.

However, there were also those who held different opinions.

"It's hard to say. Until the end, no one knows what the result will be."

"Every time new disciples ascend the Immortal Staircase, there are always a few unexpected geniuses."

"The ones from the Ziyang Sect and the Xuanyun Tower are also very good, always closely following behind."

"I think they all have a chance to challenge Qiao Rui's position."

Below Qiao Rui, there were five or six other geniuses, not too far apart in position.

If they were to suddenly break out, it was indeed possible to surpass him.

At the beginning, Gu Xiaoxue, who was closest to Qiao Rui, was actually being left further and further behind.

However, people were still relatively tolerant towards her.

"It's normal for Gu Xiaoxue to fall behind in the final stage with only Transcending Tribulation perfection cultivation."

"For her to achieve such results at this level is enough to make her stand out."

"And don't forget, she's only sixteen years old. Her future is definitely promising."

People's attention towards Gu Xiaoxue remained high, not only because of her outstanding performance, but also because she did not belong to the powerful forces like the White Emperor Sect in the Heavenly Capital.

The possibility of successfully recruiting her was much easier compared to Qiao Rui.

The people who came from the Qingyue Gate also focused most of their attention on Gu Xiaoxue, as if they were ready to snatch her away.

Tang Tian's attention, in fact, was also on Xiaoxue.

But he was naturally different from others. Tang Tian was more concerned about Gu Xiaoxue's state.

After climbing the final ninety-nine steps, Gu Xiaoxue's speed noticeably slowed down.

People thought this was because she had reached her limit, but Tang Tian knew that this was not the case.

Because he saw Gu Xiaoxue taking out many Lulizhu beads while climbing.

Only a few of them knew the purpose of the Lulizhu beads.

They represented a large amount of pure spiritual power.

Under what circumstances would one need such a large amount of spiritual power?

The reason was only one.

Breakthrough.

Gu Xiaoxue was using the Dao rhyme and pressure contained within the Immortal Staircase during this process to break through the Ascension realm.

"What a hardworking girl."

"She knows how to seize such an opportunity."

Tang Tian secretly smiled.

After a while, there was only about the time it took for an incense stick to burn left until the end of the Immortal Staircase.

If no miracles occurred, Qiao Rui would undoubtedly take the first place in this initiation ceremony.

However, at this moment, a beam of light flickered among the numerous scenes.

The external experts of the Immortal Realm immediately noticed this anomaly. When they looked over, they exclaimed in surprise.

"Gu Xiaoxue actually broke through on the Immortal Staircase?!"

Indeed, the Immortal Staircase had the potential to enhance one's abilities. Many people would have insights after completing the climb and break through their realms.

But those who could directly break through on it were extremely rare.

Because the pressure there was too strong, and they had already reached the final stage. One had to expend all their energy to resist the omnipresent majesty of the Heavenly Dao.

The only explanation for being able to break through there is that this person is at ease.

"We... underestimated her."

"After breaking through Ascension, she has reached the same level as Qiao Rui. Can she create miracles?"

Under the expectations of the people, Gu Xiaoxue quickly completed her breakthrough and officially entered the Ascension realm.

Then, she looked towards the top of the Immortal Staircase and stepped on it steadily.

One step, two steps, three steps!

Her steps were very steady. Although it seemed to be the same speed as an ordinary person climbing stairs, after reaching the final stage, everyone else basically stopped.

People watched with their eyes wide open as Gu Xiaoxue climbed step by step, surpassing several disciples along the way, challenging Qiao Rui at the very top.

"It's almost over, only nine levels left!"

Everyone stared intently. The situation of the latecomer surpassing others is always a topic of great interest no matter where it happens.

They also hoped that Gu Xiaoxue could surpass Qiao Rui in the end.

As time gradually approached, the distance between Gu Xiaoxue and Qiao Rui's steps also decreased slowly.

Finally, on the last step of the two-hour mark, she reached the same height as Qiao Rui!

"Beautiful!"

Someone immediately cheered.

"Although she didn't truly surpass him in the end, she has definitely proven herself!"

"A rare genius!"

Everyone laughed heartily.

This initiation ceremony finally witnessed a surprising scene.

People wouldn't underestimate Qiao Rui's strength, but the scene of a desperate counterattack always excited people.

With this, the initiation ceremony came to an end, and all the disciples would soon appear on the high platform.

People gathered around the exit of the Immortal Staircase. The most outstanding disciples would arrive here first.

They had to be prepared to snatch people.

Seeing this situation, Tang Tian also prepared to go over.

"Do you also want to go and snatch people?"

Guan You asked.

Tang Tian looked at those people who looked like wolves and nodded.

If he didn't go, Xiaoxue would probably be torn apart as soon as she came out.

But Guan You was stunned and said, "Didn't you say that you don't belong to any faction?"

Tang Tian paused and smiled, "I'm snatching people for myself."

Guan You shook his head, "The first batch to come out are all geniuses. Can you snatch them from those people?"

"Who is your target?"

Tang Tian thought for a moment and decided to stick to his sincerity and said truthfully, "It's Gu Xiaoxue."

Guan You was stunned again, then burst into laughter, "Are you crazy? Gu Xiaoxue?"

"Didn't you see her performance just now? How many major forces have already set their sights on her!"

"Where do you get the confidence to compete with those people?"

Guan You shook his head repeatedly, thinking that Tang Tian must have lost his mind.

Looking at his appearance, Tang Tian touched his nose and smiled, "I... still have that confidence."

"Gu Xiaoxue, she belongs to me."

Hearing Tang Tian's confident tone, Guan You's expression turned cold, then shook his head, "You must be crazy."

"If she can be with you, then Ling Luo Immortal Venerable will be with me."

Tang Tian smiled and didn't say anything more, walking towards the entrance of the Immortal Staircase.

Watching his back, Guan You sighed softly and finally stepped forward, following him.

"Young people are impulsive."

"I have to keep an eye on him, don't offend those adults."
