Even though during these four years, Cao Zhen didn’t cause any disturbances, he still remembers Cao Zhen.
Mainly because a few years ago, the commotion Cao Zhen caused was truly significant, no matter who it was, as long as they broke through the ninth level of the Immortal Bridge Period, it was enough to draw attention.
Not to mention, this disciple was not even an Immortal Body, and hadn’t reached the Peak Immortal Bridge Period.
Many even believed that Cao Zhen might be able to break through the tenth level of the Immortal Bridge Period.
After all, when Cao Zhen broke through the ninth level, there were only six Immortal Bridges, but when Cao Zhen reaches the Peak Immortal Bridge Period, he could have a chance to try.
But over the years, Cao Zhen hasn’t attempted to break through the Sky-reaching Gate.
Immortal Lord Wu Hui saw the other party greeting him and nodded slightly, smiling, "Greetings, Brother Li Mo, I’m indeed here to watch a disciple break the Sky-reaching Gate.
Brother, being here as well, seems to be accompanying a disciple too. Your little disciple, Zhang Zhaodong, is indeed one of the outstanding disciples in the Core Formation Stage in our Indistinct Sect."
Immortal Lord Li Mo nodded slightly, "The one currently attempting the challenge is him."
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen lifted his head to look towards the candles by the bridge. At this moment, nine candles were already lit by the bridge.
Just as he looked over, the tenth candle was lit.
Suddenly, cheers spread from the bridge side.
"It’s the tenth level, Brother Zhang Zhaodong finally broke through the ninth level!"
"Four years, since Brother entered the ninth level, he was quickly defeated but now he’s managed to break through the ninth level!"
"Brother has broken through the ninth level, meaning he will definitely earn the qualification representing our Indistinct Sect."
"In the thousand-year history of our Great Teaching, there seem to be only two seniors who broke through the ninth level during the Core Formation Stage. Brother has become the third!"
"The focus isn’t on that qualification, but on Brother challenging the tenth level!"
Cao Zhen looked at these people, finding many of them familiar.
Four years ago, when he first attempted the Sky-reaching Gate, he saw this group cheering. He remembers that the one attempting back then was Zhang Zhaodong.
The difference was, four years ago, the other party was challenging the Core Formation Stage Sky-reaching Gate, while he was challenging the Immortal Bridge Period Sky-reaching Gate.
As a result, four years later, they all ended up challenging the Core Formation Stage Sky-reaching Gate.
But this is also normal.
Soon the Core Formation heritage will open, those masters in the Core Formation Stage, even if able to break through, will choose to remain at their current realm and then attempt the challenge to see if they can acquire the heritage!
The tenth candle by the bridge did not stay lit for long before all the candles extinguished.
This is also normal, to pass the tenth level of the Core Formation Stage, one must defeat a Golden Core Stage opponent. The key point is that the opponent is no ordinary Golden Core Stage but one that matches your strength and overwhelmingly surpasses you.
Not long after, on the Immortal Bridge of the Core Formation Stage, Zhang Zhaodong’s silhouette appeared. He looked at his master waiting by the bridge, with self-blame evident on his face, "Master, I’ve disappointed you, disciple didn’t pass the tenth level!"
"No need for self-reproach, you’ve done very well already."
As his words fell, around him, many disciples shouted in unison.
"That’s right, Brother, you are the third disciple in the thousand-year history of our entire Great Teaching who has broken through the ninth level of the Sky-reaching Gate in the Core Formation Stage."
"In other words, currently, among the Core Formation Stage disciples in our Indistinct Sect, only Brother has broken through the ninth level."
"That means, Brother, you are currently the strongest existence among the Core Formation Stage disciples in our Indistinct Sect!"
Listening to everyone’s cheers, Cao Zhen stepped into the Core Formation Stage Sky-reaching Gate.
Although Cao Zhen has been very low-key these years, hardly leaving the Reincarnation Palace, even if he is low-key, he isn’t in seclusion, many have still seen him.
It is also because of the huge commotion he caused four years ago, as people saw him walk into the Core Formation Stage Sky-reaching Gate, they began to cheer as well.
"That Cao Zhen is attempting the Sky-reaching Gate again!"
"This is his second time attempting the Sky-reaching Gate!"
"I’ve always thought that his second time attempting the Sky-reaching Gate would be to continue with the Immortal Bridge Period Sky-reaching Gate, after all, he did reach the tenth level, he should attempt once more at the Peak Immortal Bridge Period."
Instead, he directly came to challenge the Core Formation Stage Sky-reaching Gate."
"Surely it’s because the Core Formation heritage is about to open, so he quickly advanced into the Core Formation Stage, so he didn’t have time to attempt the Immortal Bridge Period Sky-reaching Gate again."
"That can’t be, just attempting a challenge doesn’t waste much time, it’s not like he needs to start from the first level again, he can directly enter the tenth level of the Immortal Bridge Period Sky-reaching Gate."
"Who knows why he didn’t attempt the challenge again, maybe he knows deep down that he’s still far from passing the tenth level, so he didn’t attempt it."
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Zhang Zhaodong curiously glanced at Cao Zhen’s back and spoke quietly, "He is the one who passed the ninth level of the Immortal Bridge Period?"
"Yes, Brother, that’s him."
"Oh." Zhang Zhaodong responded lightly, but then turned to his master, "Master, let’s go."
Immortal Lord Li Mo noticed the gaze his disciple had earlier, and quietly asked, "Aren’t you going to watch how he attempts the challenge?"
