The guard couldn't tell if Li Shuang genuinely meant what she said or if she was just putting on an act.
He was speechless for a while before finally saying, "Continue challenging the sixth mountain?"
Li Shuang nodded, then couldn't help but ask, "Do most of the young generation's geniuses usually pass this sixth mountain?"
The guard was silent for a moment, then said, "Some have passed."
You Lan, who was number one on the genius rankings, was the only one among the younger generation to have cleared the sixth mountain.
Regardless of how many had passed, as long as there were some, that was enough.
Li Shuang's expression became serious.
Just as she thought!
Her current performance was considered ordinary.
Only by passing this sixth mountain could she barely be considered a genius!
Li Shuang turned and, without hesitation, headed towards the sixth mountain.
Everyone silently watched her figure disappear, unsure of what to say.
This Li!
Who exactly was she?!
Logically speaking, the geniuses of the Central Continent all had a complete growth trajectory.
But this Li!
She had appeared out of nowhere, without any prior signs!
In the water curtain, the scene of Li Shuang climbing the mountain reappeared.
The guard took a deep breath.
Regardless of whether this Li could clear the sixth mountain, her current achievements were already terrifying.
Those major sects might become interested in her.
The guard took out his communication token and spread the news that someone named Li had cleared the fifth mountain and was currently challenging the sixth.
He specifically emphasized Li's age.
As soon as he sent the message, his communication token began to flash wildly.
The guard smiled slightly and directly sent the footage of Li Shuang climbing the fifth mountain to all the various factions.
This City of Myriad Laws had been quiet for too long; it was time for some excitement.
All the factions were watching the footage.
"Her spiritual power cultivation is indeed a bit low."
"But her spiritual power is very solid. I just checked Li's information; she has already challenged the Sea of Stillness, and her results were also good."
"She probably has extremely poor spiritual root aptitude, which is why, despite her deep understanding of the Great Dao, her cultivation is still stuck at the Golden Core stage."
"Improving spiritual root aptitude, though difficult, is not impossible. If she's worth the investment, transplanting a supreme-grade spiritual root for her isn't out of the question!"
"Supreme-grade spiritual roots are incredibly rare; we need to keep watching!"
"If she can pass this sixth Great Dao mountain, I can place my bet immediately!"
"The sixth mountain... even You Lan only passed it a year ago, right? It's unlikely she'll pass."
"Indeed."
The name "Li," along with this footage, entered the eyes of the major factions for the first time.
Outside the City of Myriad Laws.
You Lan, carrying a massive scythe on her back, returned to the City of Myriad Laws with an expressionless face.
This time, she had harvested many more soul beasts. After absorbing the gains from this trip, her soul power should increase further.
As soon as You Lan entered the city, her brows furrowed slightly.
She hadn't deliberately displayed her title, but she hadn't hidden her iconic massive scythe, and many people recognized her identity at first glance.
She wasn't afraid of being recognized.
However, in the past, when she was recognized, people's expressions were either fear or awe.
But this time...
Why did their eyes carry a hint of... gossip?
You Lan's brows couldn't help but furrow.
Gossip?
She found the thought somewhat absurd.
As a disciple meticulously trained by the Demonic Heaven Sect, the number one demonic sect, when had anyone ever looked at her with such eyes?
Did these people want to die?
You Lan expressionlessly waved her hand, and a man by the roadside was instantly pulled into her palm.
"Speak, why are you looking at me?" You Lan asked coldly.
Fighting was forbidden in the City of Myriad Laws.
Otherwise, if this person had looked at her with such eyes, his head would have already rolled.
The man looked terrified and stammered, "Just now... just now, the guard of the Great Dao Mountain spread a piece of footage. Someone is challenging the sixth Great Dao mountain, and this person... this person is only in their thirties."
You Lan's expression changed slightly.
She never expected to hear such an answer.
Casually tossing the man aside, You Lan opened her communication token.
The guard of the Great Dao Mountain, as if fearing peace, had even sent her a separate copy.
You Lan watched the footage expressionlessly, a hint of coldness appearing in her eyes.
Li?
She had cleared five Great Dao mountains at the Golden Core stage and was currently challenging the sixth.
If she cleared the sixth one too, wouldn't she be on par with herself?
You Lan started walking towards the Great Dao Mountain.
However, before she could reach it, new news arrived.
"Li" failed to reach the summit of the sixth mountain; this time, she stopped halfway up.
You Lan also stopped, her expression returning to its usual indifference.
The difficulty of this sixth mountain was incomparable to the previous ones.
It would be incredibly difficult for this Li to clear it.
She was truly crazy to focus her attention on a newcomer.
If Li wanted her attention, she should first get onto the genius rankings!
You Lan changed direction, no longer paying attention to the matters of the Great Dao Mountain.
At the foot of the Great Dao Mountain.
Li Shuang sighed.
The sixth mountain, as expected, was a failure.
However, she had vaguely found a direction.
Give her a little more time, and clearing the sixth mountain wouldn't be a problem.
"Congratulations, you cleared five mountains in one go." The guard looked at Li Shuang, even feeling a sense of relief.
If she had cleared even this sixth mountain, then things would truly be changing.
After clearing five mountains, Li Shuang's bronze eyes actually showed an additional 8000 points.
Li Shuang was momentarily stunned.
These points...
So many?
She quickly confirmed it.
Just clearing the fifth mountain alone rewarded her with six thousand points.
If she could clear the sixth mountain next, she would be rewarded with ten thousand points in one go!
"The points from this Great Dao Mountain should be the easiest to get among the three secret realms," Li Shuang couldn't help but exclaim.
There was a moment of silence in the arena.
Easiest to get?
One must know that in the other two secret realms, everyone could more or less gain something.
Only in this Great Dao Mountain, many people couldn't even pass the first mountain!
Was this Li deliberately trying to annoy them?
Unaware of the strange atmosphere in the arena, Li Shuang directly headed towards the last secret place: the Tower of Heaven.
She had only walked a few steps before she stopped.
Li Shuang turned back, looking at the crowd behind her with some confusion.
What were these people following her for?
As Li Shuang looked, everyone dispersed.
Li Shuang hesitated for a moment, then turned and continued walking.
After a few steps, she looked back again.
These people had followed her again...
"Who are you?" Li Shuang couldn't help but ask, looking at the crowd.
"It's rare to see a pure newcomer; we're just following you to join the fun."
"Yes, yes, yes, newcomers are rare, we really are just joining the fun."
Everyone said.
"Is that so?" Li Shuang asked.
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
Li Shuang didn't pay too much attention to it; after all, her identity in this place was absolutely confidential.
Who would have thought that she actually came from the Southern Azure Continent...
Li Shuang no longer dwelled on it and, according to her plan, went all the way to the last secret place.
The Tower of Heaven.
