“Huan’er? Duan Ling Tian? Do you know them?”

“I don’t think they’re from a grade-one force…”

“Before this, the names that appeared on the Peak of Gravity belong to those prodigies from grade-one forces. These two grassroots prodigies’ names appeared so quickly?”

People at all 99 Peaks of Gravity were fervently discussing the two unfamiliar names that had appeared. Most prodigies in the Nan Dou Territory belonged to grade-one forces. Grade-one forces controlled vast amounts of resources and carefully nurtured these prodigies since they were young. Therefore, it was not surprising that these forces had many prodigies.

However, at this moment, the two newcomers whom everyone suspected to be grassroots prodigies had risen so quickly at the Peak of Gravity, and their names had even appeared among the names of young prodigies from grade-one forces. How could other grassroots prodigies not feel excited?

Although there are more grassroots prodigies in the Genius Secret Realm compared to young prodigies from grade-one forces, the young prodigies from grade-one forces were mostly superior to grassroots prodigies. Therefore, all the grassroots prodigies paid close attention to any grassroots prodigy whose name appeared on the Peak of Gravity.

When everyone was busy discussing Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er, another commotion broke out again. Another unfamiliar name had appeared on the Peak of Gravity!

Hou Zi Long 2000th step.

“Hey, another person who seems to be a grassroots prodigy entered the Peak of Gravity’s Ranking!”

“Hou Zi Long? I’ve never heard of him… He should be a grassroots prodigy as well, right?”

“I think so.”

“It seems like there are many outstanding grassroots prodigies this time!”

Many grassroots prodigies who had yet to climb the Peak of Gravity were inspired by the results they had seen and began to climb up the Peak of Gravity.

Currently, there were 22 names on the Peak of Gravity. Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er were in fourth and fifth place respectively. However, the distance between the duo and the people in front was constantly shrinking.

…

“The pressure is growing intense…” Duan Ling Tian steeled himself and endured the force of gravity. However, he still felt the huge pressure when he arrived at the 2,600th step. When he turned to look at Huan’er who seemed unaffected by the gravity, he said to her through Voice Transmission, “Huan’er, there’s no need to wait for me… Try your best to climb as high as you can…”

“Alright.” Huan’er nodded in agreement and continued to make her way up when she saw the look of encouragement in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes.

It did not take long before Huan’er rose to third place and second place. Eventually, she was in the first place.

Currently, Huan’er’s cultivation base was higher than Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base, and her comprehension of the law of space had already caught up to Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian had comprehended all the profundities from the law of space to the initial stage long before he became a Celestial Lord. However, it was impossible for him to comprehend the profundities to the mastery stage before he became a Celestial Lord. He did not have the chance to use the Supreme Powerhouse Profundity to comprehend any profundity to the mastery stage because he had to enter the Genius Secret Realm soon after he became a Celestial Lord.

During the time Duan Ling Tian was cultivating, Huan’er was comprehending the law of space using the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. With that, she successfully caught up to Duan Ling Tian.

“Although the pressure is mounting, with my strength, I should be able to reach the 3,000th step.” Duan Ling Tian soldiered on and continued to climb. His speed of ascent was faster than those ahead of him so it did not take long before he had risen to third place.

…

Meanwhile, another uproar broke out at the foot of all 99 Peaks of Gravity.

“Heavens! Huan’er is in the first place! She’s now at the 2932nd step. Is she going to reach the 3,000th step?”

“Based on her performance so far, the Ancient Phoenix Clan and the Baili Clan will surely invite her to join them even if she doesn’t reach the 3,000th step. If she really reaches the 3,000th step, there’s a possibility that even the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect will extend an invitation to her.”

“Duan Ling Tian’s doing great as well! He’s already in third place. These two people really make grassroots prodigies like us proud!”

The grassroots prodigies in the Genius Secret Real were delighted by this development while some of the young prodigies from grade-one forces were embarrassed. With this, many young prodigies from grade-one forces were spurred into climbing the Peak of Gravity. Moreover, their speed was rather fast as well.

…

“It seems like this is the end for me… I’ve reached my limit. Although I can teleport myself to the top, I’m certain I’ll be injured by the force of gravity up there. I stand to lose more than I gain if I persist in continuing…” Duan Ling Tian finally decided to stop when he reached the 2839th step.

‘I’ll return to conquer the Peak of Gravity after I comprehend the law of space further. Since the Genius Secret Realm will be open for ten years, I have plenty of time to return.’ Duan Ling Tian consoled himself with this thought. He was confident that he would be able to comprehend the profundities from the law of space to the mastery stage in ten years since he had the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity.

After Duan Ling Tian sorted out his thoughts, he looked up ahead. “Huan’er, she… She’s about to reach the 3,000th step.”

Duan Ling Tian continued to watch, and soon after, he watched in delight as Huan’er arrived at the 3,000th step. “She made it!”

“Brother Ling Tian, the pressure is overwhelming.”

Huan’er’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears soon after. Based on her voice, he could tell it was getting strenuous for her.

“Huan’er, let’s stop for now. You did very well! We can return to challenge the Peak of Gravity again in the future!” Duan Ling Tian replied through Voice Transmission. While he climbed the Peak of Gravity, he discovered that it was not just a test of strength but a test of patience as well. Although he and Huan’er were both extraordinary among their peers, there were many Five Elements Celestial Lords and Six Combos Celestial Lords from grade-one forces. Needless to say, these Celestial Lords’ comprehension of the law was not inferior to his and Huan’er’s comprehension of the law.

“Back then, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect created a new record when he was a Six Combos Celestial Lord… He must have already comprehended more than one profundity to the mastery stage at that time.” Previously, Duan Ling Tian did not think much about the achievement of Yu Jian Cheng, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect. However, now that he had climbed the Peak of Gravity, he realized how impressive Yu Jian Cheng’s accomplishment was.

…

Many people saw Huan’er and Duan Ling Tian descend from the Peak of Gravity. At this moment, none of the men was jealous of Duan Ling Tian when they saw Huan’er holding his hand. After all, a man like Duan Ling Tian was more than worthy of such an exceptional beauty.

“You’re amazing, brother!”

“Brother, all of us grassroots prodigies are proud of you and your companion!”

“Brother, are you and your companion grassroots prodigies?”

Apart from the Thousand Hands Demon Sect’s Ye Yu Chen, the others at the foot of the mountain were mostly grassroots prodigies. All of them greeted Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er enthusiastically.

“That’s right.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “I entered the Genius Secret Realm in hopes of joining a grade-one force.”

“With your ability, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to achieve your goal.”

“That’s right!”

The grassroots prodigies became even more excited once Duan Ling Tian confirmed he and Huan’er were grassroots prodigies.

At this moment, Ye Yu Chen, the young prodigy from the Thousand Hands Demon Sect, walked up to Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er. He said with a polite smile on his face, “Are you interested in joining our Thousand Hands Demon Sect? If you’re interested, I can recommend you to the high-ranking official in the sect.”

Ye Yu Chen knew if he could persuade the two grassroots prodigies in front of him to join the Thousand Hands Demon Sect, he would be able to make a significant contribution to the sect. However, he knew there was a chance the duo might refuse his invitation. After all, how could the Thousand Hands Demon Sect compare to the Ancient Phoenix Clan, the Bali Clan, and the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect in the Nan Dou Territory? If he were in their shoes, he would also prefer to join one of the three most powerful grade-one forces in the Nan Dou Territory.

Duan Ling Tian politely declined Ye Yu Chen’s offer. He said with a smile, “Since the Genius Secret Realm will be open for ten years, we plan to wait before we make any decision.”

“Brother, this is my Soul Pearl. You can contact me at any time if you change your mind. I’m Ye Yu Chen, the third personal disciple of the Sect Leader of the Thousand Hands Demon Sect.” Ye Yu Chen handed a Soul Pearl to Duan Ling Tian and left these words behind before he left. He did not seem displeased by Duan Ling Tian’s rejection at all.

At this moment, a voice rang in the air.

“Look! That grassroots prodigy is quite strong as well! He has arrived at the 2,500th steps! It’s just enough for him to squeeze into the top ten names!”

Duan Ling Tian instinctively looked up and saw the name that just appeared; Hou Zi Long. Based on the conversations in the surroundings, he learned that Hou Zi Long seemed to be a grassroots prodigy as well. He thought to himself, ‘This Hou Zi Long isn’t simple…’

“Huh?” At this moment, Duan Ling Tian discovered a name that was rapidly rising in ranks. In just a blink of an eye, the name overtook him. That person maintained their speed after overtaking him and only began to slow down at the 3,000th step. Not only did this person overtake Duan Ling Tian, but they had overtaken Huan’er as well.

The people in the surroundings had noticed the name as well, and they broke out in a discussion again.

“It’s Feng Qi Qi!”

“Feng Qi Qi is the top prodigy below the age of 1,000 from the Ancient Phoenix Clan!”

“How impressive! Her speed is really terrifying! She reached the 3,300th step in just a blink of an eye!”

“However, her speed has slowed down. It seems like it’ll be difficult for her to reach the 3,500th step.”

Through the discussions in the surroundings, Duan Ling Tian learned that Feng Qiqi was the top prodigy below the age of 1,000 in the Ancient Phoenix Clan. Most importantly, Feng Qiqi was a woman.

‘Feng Qi Qi, Ancient Phoenix Clan… I wonder how Tian Wu is doing now?’ Duan Ling Tian could not help but think of Feng Tian Wu, the girl who was willing to sacrifice her life for him. After all, similar to Feng Qiqi, Feng Tian Wu was also from an Ancient Phoenix Clan, and both women shared the surname.
