Chapter 631: Stone Platform Heavenly Ladder

"Fine, Fellow Daoist Nan!"

He Pingsheng bowed: "I would like to ask, where do those cultivators who ascended from the Cultivation World go?"

"Ascend? Cultivation World?" Nan Qiqi's brows furrowed: "No way... you... actually don't know?"

He Pingsheng's face turned bitter.

He really didn't know this.

Perhaps it was in the Spirit Realm Customs, but he hadn't seen it yet.

Moreover, although he had been ascended for over a hundred years, he had either been in a Mystic Realm or on a big ship since he ascended.

He rarely had the opportunity to understand the customs of the Spirit Realm.

He didn't know this little bit of common sense!

"You are also... an ascended cultivator?" Nan Qiqi asked with an uncertain tone.

He Pingsheng said: "Yes!"

"Then why are you asking me?" Nan Qiqi said: "Isn't it... just ascending from the Ascension Pool!"

"There are countless Cultivation Worlds below this Spirit Realm, all of which are small worlds opened up by countless Mahayana Tianpeng Diyu cultivators over the years, so their distribution is not uniform!"

"Some Ascension Pools are in the Imperial City, some are not; almost every large and small city has them!"

"Some families even have their own Ascension Pools!"

"Once the living beings in the small world ascend, they will appear in the Spirit Realm!"

"It mainly depends on which small world your Cultivation World belongs to..."

He Pingsheng was suddenly speechless!

Fine!

He was an abnormal ascension; after ascending, he was thrown by spatial power to Rouge Mountain near the Li family, and then saved by Li Yunyun.

So He Pingsheng speculated that the Ascension Pool of the small world he was in should be near the Li family.

The Li family couldn't possibly possess such a thing, because no matter what, the Cultivation World was also a small world belonging to a Mahayana Tianpeng Diyu cultivator.

So, He Pingsheng thought that this Ascension Pool was likely in the 【Heavenly Human Immortal Sect】 belonging to the Li family.

As for whether it was, only the Heavenly Dao knew.

"Ask about the Ascension Pool yourself later!" Nan Qiqi interrupted He Pingsheng's thoughts: "There are still over two hundred years before the 【Stone Platform Assembly】 is held. You promised my grandfather that you would accompany me to participate!"

"I hope you won't break your promise!"

He Pingsheng was serious and earnest: "Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Nan, this junior will certainly not break my promise!"

"Good!" Nan Qiqi said: "I know your ability; my grandfather told me that you beheaded a Void Refinement expert; Nan Li and Nan Yuan also told me about your situation in the Netherworld Imperial Palace. You are indeed very powerful!"

"A good candidate!"

"When the day of departure comes, I will come to find you. If you really help me, if this Saintess inherits the position of the Zhu Que Tianpeng Diyu in the future, I will definitely give you a generous reward!"

He Pingsheng hadn't thought about any reward.

He was very curious and asked: "What is this Stone Platform Assembly? Does it involve competitions? Fighting?"

"I know nothing about this information, I ask Fellow Daoist Nan to enlighten me!"

Nan Qiqi spoke eloquently, and He Pingsheng gained an understanding of this Stone Platform Assembly.

The so-called Stone Platform Assembly was a grand meeting participated in by almost all the top geniuses on the entire Heavenly Fire Continent.

It is held only once every five thousand years!

Participants are limited to the 【Void Refinement Stage】 cultivation!

The method of holding it is different every time.

Some years, it's based on combat power; sometimes, it's comparing sword intent, spiritual sense, strength, etc...

Anyway, it's holding various competitions.

During the assembly, the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of every Tianpeng Diyu must participate. Besides the Holy Son and Holy Daughter, every Tianpeng Diyu can bring ten additional people.

In this way, the ninety-plus Imperial Domains on the entire Heavenly Fire Continent basically had a thousand people participating.

And these thousand people were all peerless geniuses, one in ten thousand from each vast domain.

He Pingsheng suddenly thought of a problem. Before, when the Tianpeng Kongkong Kongkong Yao Di held some 【Hundred Feather Banquet】 to entertain Crown Prince Tianyu, Liu Haoran, etc., He Pingsheng didn't know why, but looking at it now, it was likely related to this so-called 【Stone Platform Assembly】.

During the Stone Platform Assembly, the method of selection didn't matter.

The most important thing was to select the top thirty!

These final thirty people would be arranged to be sent into the Stone Platform Mountain to climb the 【Heavenly Ladder】.

When climbing the Heavenly Ladder, there was only one goal: to climb high.

The higher you climb, the stronger your individual ability, and the higher your ranking.

The names of these final thirty people would be integrated into the ocean of names built by countless genius disciples throughout the ages on the entire Heavenly Fire Continent, becoming one of them.

On one hand, this is a supreme honor.

On the second hand, after these people advance to the Mahayana Tianpeng Diyu in the future, they have priority to obtain an Tianpeng Diyu.

It's just that strong.

But Nan Qiqi didn't know some specific details either.

It would have to wait until the Stone Platform Assembly to find out.

"Fellow Daoist He, I will come here to find you at that time, but just in case, I have Heart-Linked Talismans here, take them first!"

Nan Qiqi handed over five Heart-Linked Talismans.

And they were all the ultra-long-distance kind.

"Also, during this period, if you need any cultivation resources, you can come to the Imperial Palace to find me... This is my token; with this token, you can enter and exit the Imperial Palace without obstruction!"

"Also!" Nan Qiqi looked left and right: "I heard from my grandfather that you have a Dao companion. If you are willing, you can let her enter the palace with me!"

He Pingsheng shook his head: "No need, my Senior Sister is currently in seclusion. If there is really a need in the future, I will go to bother the Saintess again!"

"Good!" Nan Qiqi stood up: "Before leaving, I'll tell you one more thing. On the entire Heavenly Fire Continent, there are quite a few peerless geniuses. I can't say they are everywhere, but there should be ten or twenty who can kill Void Refinement at the Soul Transformation Stage!"

"Keep that in mind!"

"Leaving!"

After finishing, Nan Qiqi left directly.

He Pingsheng took a deep breath and drank the spirit tea in his cup in one gulp.

Geniuses who killed Void Refinement at the Soul Transformation Stage?

He Pingsheng had never seen one.

But before, the Zhu Que Kongkong Kongkong Yao Di had told him that there were no more than two hands' worth.

Now that Nan Qiqi said the same, it must be true.

In this world, it is absolutely not just him, He Pingsheng, who can fight across levels.

In a place where geniuses gather, he, He Pingsheng, might not necessarily be the number one.

But it doesn't matter; He Pingsheng pursues the Great Dao and Immortal Dao and never takes the initiative to fight others.

About half an hour after Nan Qiqi left, He Pingsheng put on the Brocade Treasure Garment, changed his appearance slightly, and came to the chamber of commerce in the Imperial City.

Holy Fire Chamber of Commerce!

"It's actually you?"

Just arriving at the Holy Fire Chamber of Commerce, the elder of the chamber of commerce recognized He Pingsheng.

Because although He Pingsheng had disguised himself, the appearance after the disguise was exactly the same as before he entered the 【Netherworld Imperial Palace】. At that time, this elder of the Holy Fire Chamber of Commerce had once sent He Pingsheng on his way.

Now, He Pingsheng was already at the sixth layer of the Soul Transformation Stage, but the elder was still at the Nascent Soul Stage, his cultivation base unmoved.

So seeing He Pingsheng, he was very surprised.
