Chapter 43: Forging bones on the way to heaven

"Yan Pianqing!"

The first thing Xu Ziran called was Yan Pianying's name.

The first of two levels is both an honor and a responsibility.

At this time, Yan Pianying was naturally the first to step onto the stone steps.

Yan Pianqing didn't hesitate at all. After smiling sweetly, she stepped out with her jade feet like lotus.

"Han Yang!"

What everyone didn't expect was that the second name Xu Ziran shouted was not Zhang Wuyou, who performed well in the second level, but... Han Yang.

This proves that in Xu Ziran's mind, Han Yang is second among everyone.

"Um?!"

Zhang Wuyou opened the folding fan and fanned it gently. Although he snorted slightly, there was no expression on his face.

Jiang Ziyu showed that this was indeed the case.

On the contrary, Shi Lei, Yan Shan, and Ye Nantian were slightly dissatisfied. In their view, Han Yang was eighteen years old and only at the second level of bone forging, so he was not qualified to be ranked second.

Han Yang ignored the looks of those people and walked up the steps calmly.

The moment he stepped onto the steps, he immediately clearly felt a surge of coercion, as if coming from heaven and earth, solidifying his body, making it difficult for him to move.

And the steps that led directly to the mountain gate along the archway were also covered with a light layer of fog.

Even Yan Pianying, who stepped onto the stone steps just one step ahead of him, was nowhere to be seen, as if she had gone to another world.

"This is definitely not the handiwork of Yuanmen. Even a warrior in the Qi Gathering Realm would have difficulty constructing such a magical array."

Han Yang immediately made a judgment.

The stone step formation he is currently stepping into must be at least a formation master at the Yuan Dan level or above to be qualified to construct it.

Yuanmen seems not as simple as it appears.

"Interesting, just look at this formation, what other mysteries are there!"

Retracting his mind, Han Yang took the second step.

As we climbed to the second step, the mist became thicker and thicker.

There was a stream of heat on the stone steps, following his footsteps, pouring into his limbs and bones, and then toward his arms, rushing toward his two tempered bones.

Han Yang could feel that this heat flow seemed to be tempering the two bones that had completed the bone-forging process.

The bones that could not be further tempered even by the power of the stars actually became more condensed and stronger.

What kind of formation master is this? It is clear that only...a formation master can do it.

Han Yang didn't expect that a small force with only nine cities would actually have such a magical array at the mountain gate?

Second bone forging!

The function of the stone steps to the sky is actually a secondary bone forging.

This is something Han Yang has never encountered in his previous eight rebirths.

He stood still for a while, until the two bones on his arm could no longer be tempered, and then he stepped forward and stepped onto the third step.

…

At this time, Xu Ziran was not the only one in front of the stone archway in front of the mountain gate.

Ten handsome or charming young men and women stood beside Xu Ziran, looking curiously at the seven people on the stone steps.

"Guess how many of them can step onto the disarmament stage?"

"Junior Brother Huang, why are you belittling yourself so much? If they are really capable of stepping onto the stage to relieve troops, wouldn't it mean that we seniors are very incompetent?"

"Senior Sister Lu, don't underestimate anyone... I heard that two first-class geniuses emerged from this martial arts competition."

"Uncle Xu, do you think they have any hope of stepping onto the platform to relieve troops?"

Xu Ziran looked at these ten little guys with a look of helplessness.

These ten people are now the top ten direct disciples of the Yuan Sect, the true pride of heaven.

In the past, it was either a retreat to strengthen the bones or practice martial arts. It was difficult to find one.

Unexpectedly, because of the martial arts competition today, everyone was here.

In the Yuan Sect, there is a watershed between the middle stage of bone forging and the late stage of bone forging.

In the middle stage of bone forging, like the top ten direct disciples, they are still at the disciple level.

By the time he reached the advanced stage of bone forging, Xu Ziziran was already at the level of senior teacher and uncle.

Seniority in Yuanmen only depends on realm, not age.

If the qualifications are not enough and the person is seventy or eighty years old, he may still call the teenage boy "Master Uncle".

now……

Above the stone archway, on the left side of the Climbing Heavenly List, lines of writing are displayed.

The first place, Yan Pianying, ordinary bone forging, eighth level.

Second place, Zhang Wuyou, ordinary bone forging, seventh level.

Third place, Ye Nantian, ordinary bone forging, seventh level.

Fourth place, Jiang Ziyu, ordinary bone forging, sixth level.

Fifth place, Yan Shan, ordinary bone forging, fifth level.

Sixth place, Shi Lei, ordinary bone forging, fifth level.

The seventh place, Han Yang, ordinary bone forging, third level.

"Yan Pianqing is one of the two first-level geniuses this time, right? It's really amazing. In just one stick of incense, she stepped onto the eighth level."

"Who is this Zhang Wuyou? Isn't it said that there are two first-class geniuses, and the other one is named Han?"

"Han Yang? Why did he step onto the third level? What's going on?"

The top ten direct disciples looked suspiciously at the message that appeared on the side of the stone archway, with confusion on their faces.

Xu Ziran's brows also frowned slightly.

It shouldn't be.

It stands to reason that Han Yang can advance from the body tempering realm to the second level of bone forging in one month, and his qualifications should be higher than Yan Pian Ping's, and he is suspected to be a super genius at the heaven and earth level.

But now, a cup of tea has passed, and he is actually in the last place, having only stepped onto the third level.

Could it be...that I had misjudged the person?

…

More and more people gathered in front of the mountain gate.

In the beginning, it was just the top ten direct disciples. Later, the core disciples, inner disciples, outer disciples, and even many elders were alarmed.

Before entering the mountain gate, I climbed the heavenly steps, which was the first time in history.

The previous third level assessment content was not like this.

This time, Han Yang, who was suspected to be a heaven-level genius, appeared. The sect then adjusted the assessment content to see if Han Yang really had such a talent.

After Li Xuanyu, the Wine and Sword Immortal, this was another suspected super-class person, and everyone in the sect was alarmed.

If Han Yang's talent is as speculated, then Yuanmen may rise due to this person.

As time went by, Yan Pianying, who was ranked first, gradually slowed down.

Ascending to the heaven level, the eleventh level is a limit.

At this time, Yan Pianying was stepping on the eleventh step.

Taking another step forward is a new realm.

The first-class genius did not disappoint. After staying for half an hour, Yan Pianpian stepped onto the twelfth step.

It was at this moment that the writing on the stone archway changed.

First place, Yan Pianying, Jade Bone, twelfth level!

Ordinary warriors' bone forging is just ordinary bone forging. No matter how many elixirs they take, they can't continue to improve.

Only by using special formations like ascending to the sky level can the level of bone forging be further improved.

On top of the ordinary forged bones, there are jade bones.

In the realm of jade bones, the bones are exquisite and clear, just like beautiful jade. The pure white jade bones will have a translucent and mysterious feeling.

In the Jade Bone Realm, both the speed of absorbing spiritual energy and combat effectiveness are twice as powerful as ordinary bone forging.

In other words, even without any martial arts or special energy, one jade bone can still fight against two ordinary forged bones.

Don't underestimate this change. It's just the first level of bone forging and the second level of bone forging. There is no significant difference.

When you reach the seventh level of forged bones with more than sixty-four forged bones, it will be a world of difference!

This is...the opportunity Xu Ziran mentioned before.

Climbing to the heavenly level and forging jade bones will bring about earth-shaking changes to everyone's background.

If you can keep climbing and reach the golden bone above the jade bone, you will be completely transformed, and you will truly reach the sky in one step!
