Chapter 497

Ling Qianxue was stunned and frozen in place.

Clearly, Su Zhangqing had only just broken through not long ago.

And now he was breaking through again?

Looking at this momentum, it was far stronger than any ordinary Ninth Stage Saint.

Could there be some secret to it?

"Senior Brother Zhangqing is breaking through again?"

"My god, he was already an Eighth Stage Saint; now that he's breaking through, isn't he approaching the Immortal Platform Realm?"

"Indeed, I truly don't know how he cultivates."

"However, the path from the Saint Realm to the Immortal Platform Realm is a major hurdle. Even if Senior Brother Zhangqing has heaven-defying aptitude, he will likely be stuck for some time."

"Heh, with Senior Brother Zhangqing's aptitude, it won't take long—a year or half a year at most—before he can ascend to the Immortal Platform, right?"

"Immortal Platform Realm... I'm so envious!"

Other disciples, seeing this phenomenon, gathered around and began to discuss it fervently.

Su Zhangqing's rapid breakthrough naturally left these disciples extremely shocked.

After all, not long ago, Su Zhangqing was still in the Spirit Sea Realm, and now, in such a short time, he was about to reach the Saint perfection and charge toward the Immortal Platform.

This speed was truly shocking.

If this continued, wouldn't he be stepping onto the Immortal Platform in less than a year or half a year?

Such a young Immortal Platform Realm expert?

However, the disciples and Ling Qianxue soon realized that they had been shocked too early.

Because the spiritual energy vortex was continuously growing larger as time passed.

Gradually, it began to exceed the boundaries of the Saint Son Peak and spread outward.

It forced the disciples to retreat in a hurry.

But even their repeated retreats were useless.

The spiritual energy vortex seemed almost endless, growing without any sign of stopping.

"This... what is going on?"

"This breakthrough phenomenon is about to shroud the entire Zong Sect!"

"Why is there such a massive commotion for just a single breakthrough?!"

Ling Qianxue and the disciples were all dumbfounded.

For just a Ninth Stage Saint breakthrough, was such a massive commotion really necessary?

"Could it be like last time, breaking through directly from the Eighth Stage Saint to the Immortal Platform?"

"How is that possible?"

"In the historical records of the Nine Mysteries Realm, the fastest record was one year after reaching the Ninth Stage Saint before one could break through to the Immortal Platform."

"Isn't Senior Brother Zhangqing skipping levels directly from the Eighth Stage Saint to the Immortal Platform a bit too much?"

Ling Qianxue and the disciples recalled the scene of Su Zhangqing's previous breakthrough to the Saint Realm.

At that time, he had also skipped minor realms to become a Saint.

But the further one cultivates, the more difficult it becomes. Ling Qianxue and the disciples had assumed it was impossible for Su Zhangqing to be this heaven-defying while in the Saint Realm.

Who knew he would do it again?

Was he going to skip levels again, straight to the Immortal Platform Realm?

This was an unprecedented feat.

At the very least, there was no such record in the history of the Nine Mysteries Realm.

Just as Ling Qianxue and the disciples were being forced back by the phenomenon of Su Zhangqing's breakthrough,

a figure suddenly appeared in mid-air.

"Your Majesty!"

Ling Qianxue and the disciples hurriedly bowed upon seeing this figure.

The Emperor had been cultivating in seclusion on the Emperor Peak, but Su Zhangqing's massive commotion had disturbed him as well.

"This child Zhangqing, is he actually going to enter the Immortal Platform in one step?"

He flew in mid-air, watching the continuously rotating and expanding spiritual energy vortex, his expression also quite astonished.

Although his cultivation base was profound and he was well-informed, he had never seen such a scene before.

"It finally stopped!"

At this moment, the phenomenon of Su Zhangqing's breakthrough finally stopped expanding.

Revealed before the Emperor and the others was a giant pillar of spiritual energy, a hundred miles in diameter, connecting directly to the nine heavens.

Just by looking at this giant pillar, Ling Qianxue and the disciples felt a sense of oppression and suffocation.

"What thick spiritual energy!"

"With Senior Brother Zhangqing breaking through to the Immortal Platform like this, to what extent will his strength increase?"

Ling Qianxue and the disciples, looking at this giant pillar of spiritual energy, could not help but feel dazzled and murmured to themselves.

It is well known that the more powerful the phenomenon during a breakthrough, the stronger the strength after the breakthrough.

Now that Su Zhangqing was breaking through to the Immortal Platform, he had actually caused such a massive commotion.

Who knew how strong he would become?

Ling Qianxue and the disciples all revealed expressions of envy.

At this moment, the giant pillar of spiritual energy, having expanded to its limit, changed once again.

It slowly deformed, forming a staircase that led directly to the nine heavens.

This staircase was composed entirely of extremely dense spiritual energy, appearing in a pure cyan color, immense and incomparable, with nine steps leading straight to the nine heavens.

Beyond the nine steps, it seemed to connect to a mysterious world above the nine heavens.

"Spiritual Energy Immortal Platform!"

"To think it's such a massive Spiritual Energy Immortal Platform!"

"How much immortal energy must be in there!"

Ling Qianxue and the disciples all exclaimed, feeling their horizons broadened.

Looking through historical records, they had never heard of such a massive "Immortal Platform."

This spiritual energy staircase was the so-called "Immortal Platform."

In this world, the Immortal Platform Realm, besides cultivating the pure land within the brain, also involves manifesting an Immortal Platform staircase outside the body using spiritual energy during the breakthrough...

There are nine steps to the Immortal Platform; for every step ascended, one can draw a trace of mysterious energy from the mysterious world above the Immortal Platform.

This mysterious energy is called "immortal energy" by the practitioners of this world.

Regardless of whether it is true immortal energy, the breakthrough to the Immortal Platform Realm relies entirely on it.

The larger the Immortal Platform, the more immortal energy one can draw, and naturally, the higher the achievement.

As for Su Zhangqing's exaggeratedly large Immortal Platform, Ling Qianxue and the disciples had never even heard of it.

"Senior Brother Zhangqing has appeared!"

At this moment, a figure rose from the Saint Son Peak and flew toward the spiritual energy Immortal Platform in the sky.
