It was a youth who donned a brilliant red robe and his demeanour was even more excellent. When he turned his head slightly and glanced at them, his handsome face came into view. They could not help but praise him to themselves: What an outstanding young man!

They gave the young man a slight nod before regaining their composure and going up the Immortal Ascension Ladder. However, shortly after climbing the immortal ladder, they noticed that the handsome young man in red was following them at a moderate pace. His demeanour was calm as if he were strolling around his own garden rather than climbing the Immortal Ladder.

“Father, that young man unexpectedly climbs up as well.” Xie Yan told his father who was standing nearby.

The elderly man returned his gaze and stated, “Strong exponents keep a low profile. Perhaps this young man has the qualifications to go up the Immortal Ascension Ladder. Those who are able to come here are not ordinary people. We can’t look at them through ordinary eyes.”

After hearing his response, Xie Yan suppressed his emotions and responded, “Yes.” Exactly! Who would have known that the Feng Jiu they encountered along the way would be such a well-hidden strong exponent?

Even though Feng Jiu’s appearance was unremarkable, draped in a low-key azure robe, and his behaviour and speech were comparable to those of a child from an ordinary home, that young man repeatedly exceeded their expectations.

And because of the young man, his son received a sacred beast at an early age, and they were now at ease even if the father and son were not at home.

Every step they took forward felt like they were walking on cotton. They needed to condense their spirit energy in order to lift up their vital energy. Because of this, each step on the Immortal Ascension Ladder was difficult.

“Aah!”

Another scream was heard as another figure fell from the heights. When the Xie father and son saw the figure rolling down the Immortal Ladder, they dodged to one side to avoid being knocked down.

When the two men moved to the side, they remembered the young man in red and could not help but glance back. The young man in red extended his foot in an attempt to climb the Immortal Ascension Ladder. He took a deep step, sank halfway into it, raised it, and stepped on it again. For some unknown reason, whether this was due to a lack of strength or something else, the young man in red got stuck and could only prop himself with his elbows as his entire body was dangling in mid-air. Those who witnessed this scene were flabbergasted.

Just as they thought the young man would fall, they noticed him move to the left, easily avoiding the falling cultivator’s figure, getting up from the ladder, standing firm, and continuing to walk up.

Those who witnessed this scene were all dumbfounded, whether it was the father and son Xie looking down from the Immortal Ascension Ladder or the cultivators guarding below, ready to catch those who fell.

They had the impression that this young man had climbed the ladder to play. He was leisurely climbing and pausing every three steps. If he continued in this manner, when would he reach the peak?

However, given this young man’s strength, he should not be able to reach the finish; at most, he should only go up within a hundred steps of the Immortal Ladder. What they did not expect was that even though the young man took numerous breaks and even stopped midway to eat a piece of fruit, the previous situation did not reoccur. Everyone’s heart was tense as he gradually reached the one hundredth step of the Immortal Ladder.
