After we broke up, I awakened my divine body. Why are you crying?

Chapter 268 Refresh the record

"What's interesting is that I heard that when Qianlong opened his palace, many young kings from the five regions of the world received special invitations to join the palace, but Ji Chen didn't seem to be the only one?"

Someone in the square couldn't help but speak.

"Ji Chen didn't receive a special invitation? Is that true or false?"

"I thought he was just like the Demon Emperor and the others, just wanting to come and see what the mystery of the Hidden Dragon Ancient Staircase is. It turns out that he didn't get a special invitation to enter the palace, so he had to participate in the assessment?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Although Ji Chen's cultivation is still a little low, his Donghuang Divine Body is so powerful that it shakes the five regions of the world. There is no way Qianlong Mansion would want to miss out on such a genius, right?"

"It seems that Qianlong Mansion also has its own considerations. Who knows?"

While everyone was discussing, the assessment continued.

After reaching the 900-foot position, someone discovered that Ji Chen's upward speed seemed to have slowed down a bit.

Now, he no longer took three breaths to take a step as before. Instead, after taking each step, he needed to stay in the same place for four breaths, which was one breath longer than before.

But even so, this speed is still amazing.

More importantly, the place is more than nine hundred feet high, and the power of the pressure has far exceeded the cognition of many people.

"Nine hundred and fifty feet..."

"Nine hundred and sixty feet..."

"Nine hundred and seventy feet..."

As time went by, everyone became more and more anxious.

Watching Ji Chen climbing up step by step at a speed of one step every four breaths, this was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

"Nine hundred and eighty feet..."

"Nine hundred and ninety feet..."

"Nine hundred and ninety-one..."

There was only less than ten feet left, and by now, the atmosphere in the entire venue had already reached an unprecedented climax.

"Nine hundred and ninety-two..."

"Nine hundred and ninety-three..."

"Nine hundred and ninety-four..."

With every step Ji Chen took, everyone's heart was shaken.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

His steps were steady and heavy, and he looked obviously struggling.

Ji Chen's whole body was tense and he clenched his teeth.

He could feel as if every bone in his body was making a creaking sound. The intensity of the pressure was so terrifying that if he relaxed even the slightest bit, he would be knocked down.

"Nine hundred and ninety-eight..."

"nine hundred ninety-nine……"

"One thousand! We've reached the top!"

Finally, in full view of everyone, Ji Chen took the final step.

"Rumble..."

The entire Qianlong Ancient Staircase seemed to shake at this moment, and the land within a radius of hundreds of miles was affected.

"what!"

The sudden shaking of the ancient stairs caught some people who were still struggling to hold on off guard. They were shaken down and all their efforts became regrets at this moment.

"Five and a half hours..."

The Great Elder Qiao Yan also had a fiery look in his eyes, and he had been calculating the time from beginning to end.

Up to now, with Ji Chen reaching the summit, only five and a half hours had passed.

It was half an hour faster than the fastest record of that year!

This is a brand new record, born today with the witness of many people.

"Did he actually do it?"

The Holy Maiden of Kunlun was stunned. She had been paying attention to Ji Chen from beginning to end.

This young man in white, who looked so strange to her, was so unexpected.

In the mind of the Kunlun Saint, after achieving enlightenment, all the past had already been cut off.

When they met in the bamboo forest last night, she could no longer recognize Ji Chen, and could not remember anything that had happened between them before.

And because of her way of cutting off all emotions and desires, after she achieved enlightenment, she would inexplicably feel aversion to all people and things that she had come into contact with in the past, including Ji Chen.

It was a kind of rejection that came from the Great Dao, preventing her from being harmed by her past.

"Congratulations, Ji Chen, for becoming the first person qualified to enter the mansion." Qiao Yan walked forward and said with a smile.

Ji Chen did not respond immediately. After reaching the top, he felt relieved. After spending some time to calm down, he asked, "The first one?"

As he spoke, his eyes swept forward, looking at Ye Yunge, Gu Si Miao and others.

"Uh……"

Qiao Yan was a little embarrassed, and changed the topic to say, "The first person to pass the assessment and obtain the qualification to enter the mansion."

He could tell that there seemed to be a deeper meaning in Ji Chen's words, and it seemed like there was a hint of sarcasm.

If these so-called young kings also participated in the assessment, their speed of reaching the top would certainly be much slower than Ji Chen.

But they were given a special invitation to enter the palace.

On the other hand, Ji Chen, who broke the fastest record in history, was not able to receive it.

"Can you settle me down as soon as possible? And you said I have to wait until the assessment is over in three days?" Ji Chen asked.

The pressure in the Qianlong Ancient Stairs is extraordinary. At this moment, he has a vague sense of sublimation after experiencing a desperate situation, as if his cultivation may get a breakthrough at any time.

He needs a relatively quiet environment.

"You come with me."

The Great Elder nodded, obviously he could see the instability in Ji Chen's aura, which seemed to be a sign of a breakthrough.

He immediately took Ji Chen to Qianlong Mansion.

The entire Qianlong Mansion covers a large area. There are numerous courtyards on various hilltops, planted with flowers, plants and ancient trees, and the environment is very elegant.

Qiao Yan brought Ji Chen to the top of a mountain in the mansion. Looking around, this place was much quieter than other places. Along the way, they could find that there were only a few scattered courtyards on the entire mountain.

"These courtyards are vacant and no one lives there. You can pick one you like and live there for a long time." Qiao Yan said.

Ji Chen said nothing, and finally came to a courtyard. "Tianchenju... the name is good, so I chose this place."

"That's really a coincidence. When 'Emperor Yan' joined our Qianlong Mansion, he also lived in Tianchen Residence." The Great Elder was stunned at first, and then spoke like this.

"Emperor Yan?" Ji Chen looked at the other party curiously.

"It was the fastest record holder before you who climbed the Qianlong Ancient Stairs in six hours." The great elder explained.

Ji Chen was startled, then nodded, "That's indeed a coincidence."

After saying that, he slightly bowed to Qiao Yan and said, "The assessment is not over yet, Great Elder, you should go back and preside over it. I can clean up here by myself."

"Okay, you just passed the test, so take a rest first. Three days later, when the test is over, I will arrange for someone to send disciple certificates and admission rewards to all of you newcomers."

After leaving these words, the great elder walked away.

Soon, after Ji Chen simply cleaned the yard, he sat down with his eyes closed in the yard. He could feel that he was not far from the sixth level of the Zhan Dao Realm.
