We Agreed to Brag Together, But You Secretly Dominated the World - Chapter 26

Elder Li, who was beside Elder Xie, was very surprised.

Lu Zhen and Mu Qingxue’s performances were obvious to anyone with eyes.

However, he still didn’t see any panic on Elder Xie’s face, nor any reluctance or discomfort from losing the supreme-ruler Altar Pill.

“Did Su Chen really step into the legendary Forbidden Stage?”

A thought flashed through Elder Li’s mind. His heart thumped and his expression became serious.

In fact, when he made a bet with Elder Wang and Elder Xie wanted to participate, he had been a little bewildered.

After overhearing the outer disciples bragging about Su Chen entering the Forbidden Stage, Elder Li seemed to understand why Elder Xie was participating in the bet.

However, Elder Li’s first reaction was that it was ridiculous!

He didn’t have a deep impression of Su Chen, but that didn’t mean that he didn’t know Su Chen at all.

Two months ago, there was a huge gap even between Su Chen and Liu Yang. Su Chen was only a Level Seven Qi Gathering Realm outer disciple.

Not to mention the difference between him and Lu Zhen and Mu Qingxue.

Both of them were geniuses, so it was very difficult for Su Chen to equal their performances.

Even if Su Chen broke through to the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm because of the providence he was blessed with, it was impossible for him to catch up with those geniuses.

Therefore, Elder Li believed that those outer disciples who boasted about Su Chen entering the Forbidden Stage only wanted to win the debate by ignoring the fact.

Even when Lu Zhen went on stage, Elder Xie still had unshaken confidence.

Only now did Elder Li realize that Su Chen’s entry into the Forbidden Stage was probably not made up out of thin air.

When Mu Qingxue stunned the audience, Elder Xie still didn’t think he was certain to lose and didn’t have that desperate look on his face.

He now finally understood that what he thought was ridiculous and impossible was about to become a reality!

When Elder Wang, whose face darkened because Mu Qingxue’s stunning performance outshone Lu Zhen’s, saw Elder Xie remain calm, he was about to say something.

However, at this moment, he was surprised to find that the noisy crowd was now dead silent.

Immediately after, a dazzling light burst into view.

It was as if the stone pillar was holding up the sun. The glaring light shot in all directions and the impalpable golden light rippled along with it.

If one were to look from afar, he or she would see that the Trial Peak was blazing with light as if a bright sun landed on the peak in the dark night.

“What…”

“What is that?”

“D*mn, is this the cultivation test of the outer sect trial?”

“Who can make the crystal ball shine bright like this?”

“Hiss! What a dazzling light… Did someone enter the Forbidden Stage?”

“Is it Liu Yang or Lu Zhen? Or Mu Qingxue?”

…

The bright light from the Trial Peak illuminated the entire outer sect.

Many outer sect disciples who did not go to watch the outer sect trial were attracted by the dazzling light and looked over in surprise.

“Let’s go and take a look!”

Some outer sect disciples hesitated for a moment, then rushed towards the Trial Peak.

After entering the Great Mystery Sect for so many years, this was the first time they had seen such an amazing light.

At this moment, the Trial Peak was still deathly silent. Everyone seemed to have lost their vocal cords and breathing.

The light was so bright that even some outer sect disciples with insufficient cultivation were unable to open their eyes. They could only reach out their hands to block their eyes and watch through their fingers.

The dazzling light did not last long. When Su Chen’s hand moved away from the crystal ball, the light quickly ebbed away.

Su Chen stood quietly in front of the crystal ball, his face expressionless and calm.

However…

The entire place was still silent for a few seconds before a violent uproar broke out.

“THE FORBIDDEN STAGE!”

After an unknown period of time, an excited voice broke the silence.

“Forbidden Stage! This is the Forbidden Stage! This is the real Forbidden Stage!”

“This… How is it possible? How can someone really step into the legendary Forbidden Stage”

“I always thought that the Forbidden Stage was just a legend. I didn’t expect to see it for myself today.”

“It’s not Liu Yang! Not Lu Zhen! And not Mu Qingxue! It’s…Su Chen!”

“So my junior brothers and sisters did not brag… It turned out that Senior Brother Su Chen has really stepped into the legendary Forbidden Stage!”

“The legendary realm has actually appeared! Senior Brother Su Chen has really stepped into the legendary Forbidden Stage just like those junior brothers and sisters said!”

…

When the silence was broken, everyone was overcome by shock in waves as if there was a chain reaction.

“This… This is impossible! How could it be the real Forbidden Stage? Impossible! It’s impossible!”

Lu Zhen looked at the scene in disbelief. His expression was filled with shock.

He couldn’t believe what he saw.

His attempt to find a trace of psychological consolation was completely fruitless.

Su Chen’s supporters were not boasting!

He…

He had really stepped into the Forbidden Stage!

At this moment, Lu Zhen felt as if his chest was blocked by something, and it was especially uncomfortable.

Liu Yang, who had been silent all this while with his arms crossed, opened his mouth subconsciously. He wanted to say something, but he didn’t make a sound for a long time.

He was dealt the third blow!

Moreover, it was stronger than the previous two times!

The Forbidden Stage!

This was a realm that he would never be able to step into with his talent!

Not far away, Mu Qingxue’s delicate body trembled. Her calm state of mind was punctured once again.

Her master had told her many times how difficult it was to reach the Forbidden Stage.

Even she would not be able to step into the Forbidden Stage before her constitution was successfully awakened.

But now!

This was the first time she had seen a prodigy who had truly stepped into the Forbidden Stage in reality!

It was not from the ancient books or her master’s description.

It was right in front of her!

Ripples undulated in Mu Qingxue’s heart again. She thought that her master would scold her.

However, the familiar voice in her mind did not reprimand her. Instead, it was filled with endless emotions.

“I actually misjudged and neglected such a genius… However, it doesn’t matter. If your constitution is completely awakened, it won’t be difficult for you to enter the Forbidden Stage. In this big world, there are countless geniuses. Since he is able to enter the Forbidden Stage in the Qi Gathering Realm, he is indeed something of a genius. But it’s hard to say if he can step into the Forbidden Stage in the Qi Sea Realm or even the supreme-ruler Altar Realm. No! To be precise, you will definitely be stronger than him. With your constitution and the Three Thousand Purity Palace Art, you will definitely be looked up to by him in the future, so there is no need to be emotional about this matter.”
