Brilliant golden light burst across the sky, then descended vertically, transforming into a sacred and noble staircase, welcoming the most honored guest of the Dragon Nurturing Temple.

All the pilgrims' gazes were involuntarily drawn towards the golden light.

The talkative woman at this moment could hardly believe her eyes, her breath quickened, and she instinctively covered her mouth to prevent any surprised sounds from escaping.

Shang Zichun looked at the dazzling scene before her and was momentarily stunned.

Her previous words had just been a joke, a habitual jest with her son.

But she never imagined the golden light would actually descend before them.

All the pilgrims looked over with envious and amazed eyes; most of them were parents, seeking blessings for their children.

At this moment, there was a palpable admiration hidden in the gaze directed at Shang Zichun.

Even as Shang Zichun became the focal point of everyone, she did not care about their expressions. Instead, she looked at her son and spoke.

"Su Tu..."

Su Tu gently smiled at his mother. Truly, Su Tu was not someone who liked to be in the spotlight.

Yet at this moment, if it allowed his mother to feel proud, Su Tu didn't mind being in the spotlight for once!

He grasped his mother's wrist, calmly setting foot on the golden and dazzling staircase.

"Mom, let's go!"

Amidst all the attention, Su Tu led Shang Zichun onto the dazzling path.

However, as Shang Zichun set foot on the golden stairway at that moment.

Whoa whoa whoa!!

The golden brilliance seemed to falter somewhat.

This immediately left Shang Zichun a bit at a loss, and Su Tu's brow furrowed unconsciously.

"Amitabha, this humble monk greets the young benefactor."

A senior monk of Dragon Nurturing Temple appeared at Su Tu's side unknown to him.

"The Martial Bell invites and can guide only one Celestial Pride, young benefactor may enter Dragon Nurturing Temple, your mother will be personally brought into the temple by this humble monk, please do not worry," said the senior monk.

Upon hearing this, Shang Zichun smiled.

"Su Tu, go ahead, I'll enter the temple with the master," she replied.

Saying this, she intended to turn and step down from the stairs.

The Martial Bell rang ten times, the dazzling heavenly path; Shang Zichun is uncertain what this signifies, but seeing people's reactions around her, she knows this is her son's moment of glory.

She doesn't want to inadvertently affect Su Tu.

Yet, upon hearing this, Su Tu did not release his mother's wrist.

His eyes fell, looking at the staircase beneath him about to dissolve, his lips slightly curved upward.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master. How about you accompany us mother and son to enter the temple together?"

Upon finishing his words, Su Tu was about to step down off the golden invitation.

Seeing this, the elder monk's expression changed drastically, "Impossible!! Young benefactor, the Martial Bell invitation is not only an honor but a divine opportunity; accepting it would elevate your Martial Fortune, allowing you to glimpse secrets unseen by others!"

"This is a divine opportunity!!"

The elder monk declared.

Although he didn't have to say it, Su Tu could already sense the extraordinariness of the staircase beneath his feet. He could feel boundless Martial Fortune, and this staircase seemed connected to the Celestial Pride List, likely also leading to the other shore's great opportunity.

But so what!!

He came with his mother; if this Martial Fortune transformed stairway could not carry his mother, then this Martial Fortune lacked that blessing.

Upon hearing that this path held a great opportunity, Shang Zichun had wanted to persuade Su Tu to proceed alone, but seeing her son's clear black and white eyes, Shang Zichun knew persuasion was futile.

Su Tu, this child, although seeming to listen to her in everything, in reality, this child's personality is stubborn, once he decides on something, not even ten bulls could pull him back.

Thus, Shang Zichun opened her mouth several times but found herself unable to persuade.

"Forget it, Master, there are numerous grand opportunities in this world, and countless divine fortunes. If this path cannot allow my mother and me to walk together—"

"Then it is a path that cannot carry my mother's fortune. A path without blessings is a path I am unwilling to tread."

Su Tu spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned; one by one, the pilgrims listened to Su Tu's words, their jaws dropping in astonishment, even the seasoned elder monk was left speechless.

The Martial Bell ringing ten times, the Celestial Ladder invitation, what an honor, what an opportunity, a chance many Celestial Prides yearned for but never attained.

Yet, in this young man's mouth, it has become a 'path without blessings'!!

"Too headstrong, although geniuses have the privilege of being headstrong, to give up such an opportunity and honor so easily is just too unreasonable, isn't it??"

"Such temperament isn't ideal, though!"

"Why does it matter if someone has a bit of temper?? Ten bell chimes, supreme Celestial Pride, this level of Celestial Pride naturally has the privilege to be headstrong!"

"But... but this is the Martial Bell, the legendary bell reflecting Martial Arts Dao."

One by one, pilgrims fixated their gazes on the dazzle, quietly discussing.

Seeing Su Tu about to lead Shang Zichun down from the steps.

The next moment!!

Dong!!!!

A thunderous bell sounded again from within Dragon Nurturing Temple, and the entire world fell silent in that instant.

The eleventh ring of the Martial Bell resounded...

Everyone was dumbfounded by this bell chime, even the elder monk's eyes widened, mouth agape.

"Martial Bell opens the way, dragons roam around heavens, this is... the Martial Bell has issued an invitation!!!"

As his words fell,

Looking at the dazzling golden light beneath Su Tu and Shang Zichun transformed into a solid staircase again, seemingly substantial, numerous golden lotuses blossomed along either side of the staircase endlessly, and the sky seemed to have true dragons coiling and roaring above.
