They never found a palace like Shaoyang Palace again, with such terrifying restrictions.

About two hours passed.

When Ning Qi and the others looked up, they saw that Fu Chen and his companions had just stepped onto the seven hundredth step of the Heavenly Ladder.

As soon as they stepped up, stone soldiers appeared on the Heavenly Ladder, each clad in armor, forming ranks to attack them.

A casual strike could break through the void, utterly terrifying.

"Alright, it's time for us to ascend the Heavenly Ladder as well."

...

Before long, Ning Qi led the people from the two sects and stepped onto the Heavenly Ladder.

The moment they appeared, they immediately caught the attention of the others on the Heavenly Ladder.

With the experience of those who had trodden before and the seamless cooperation of the two sects, Ning Qi and his group ascended the Heavenly Ladder swiftly.

In just a few breaths, they had climbed a hundred levels of the Spiritual Ladder.

In the first hundred levels, some had already perished on the Heavenly Ladder, and in the second domain, the death toll was even higher.

Blood stained the jade steps red, and golden silhouettes appeared, treading on the blood, standing in their way.

However, with a coordinated formation, it took them only half a quarter of an hour to reach the third domain.

...

Up ahead, the three from Ren Zong, destroying the stone soldiers in front of them, felt a sense of crisis upon seeing Ning Qi and Niu Man approach.

Especially upon seeing the combined forces of the two sects and their large numbers, they felt even more pressured.

Fu Chen's body flickered with blood energy, suddenly turning into a phantom and charging upward.

Not wanting to lag behind, Ren Zong and Wu Dao immediately exerted their full strength and rapidly pursued.

To their astonishment, it seemed that Fu Chen carried something peculiar, as the stone soldiers on the jade steps of the Heavenly Ladder seemed unable to detect him, allowing him to rush forward unimpeded.

"What's going on?"

Wu Dao squinted and said, "It seems that Fu Chen has a Secret Treasure on him, which he has been reluctant to use until now."

"Damn, no wonder he was unwilling to team up with us, it's because of this."

"Brother Ren, don't be angry, I have a countermeasure as well."

Wu Dao pulled out a complete array from his belongings, casually flung it, and a layer of Magical Power barrier instantly enveloped the two, rendering their presence undetectable to the stone soldiers on the jade steps of the Heavenly Ladder.

Ren Zong was overjoyed.

The two pursued once more.

Below, Ning Qi and the others noticed the anomaly on Fu Chen and the others.

Niu Man was shocked, "Not good, those guys all have Exotic Treasures on them and might beat us to it."

Everyone hurriedly accelerated in pursuit.

Only Ning Qi remained calm, stopping suddenly as if sensing something.

"Brother Ning, what's wrong?"

Ning Qi took out the key he obtained from Shaoyang Palace, the golden key shimmering with light enveloping him, and he felt his whole body lighten instantly.

Suddenly, a golden cloud formed beneath his feet, carrying him upward.

Niu Man and the others were dumbfounded.

Could it be that this Shaoyang Palace key is related to ascending the Heavenly Ladder?

Holding the key, Ning Qi pointed at the group, and they too felt their bodies lighten, and the pressure of the jade steps on the Heavenly Ladder seemed to vanish.

Though no golden cloud arose beneath them, no one cared about this at the moment.

As Ning Qi reached the front, they immediately followed, enveloped in golden light, with no more obstructions on the Heavenly Ladder.

Thus, in an instant, the Heavenly Ladder before the Golden Treasure Hall could no longer stop them.

Apart from them, all other cultivators on the Heavenly Ladder witnessed this and almost couldn't help but fall off the ladder.

For a first-time climber of the Heavenly Ladder, why do they seem like they're walking in through the back door of their own house?

People stomped their feet in frustration, thoroughly vexed.

Some tried to follow closely behind Ning Qi and his group to see if they too could pass unimpeded.

But merciless attacks struck, instantly killing them.

Immediately, others who harbored the same thought lost any desire to attempt it.

Helplessly, they could only watch Ning Qi and his group's backs as they continued to climb.

Until Ning Qi and his companions' figures disappeared from the Heavenly Ladder, everyone suddenly realized that the restrictions on the Heavenly Ladder seemed to have vanished.

Not knowing what went wrong, it was nonetheless a good thing, and everyone rushed up immediately, fearing they would be a step behind and others would seize the opportunity.

As for what was happening behind them, Ning Qi and his group were temporarily unaware.

They had reached the highest part of the Golden Celestial Tomb, and the Golden Treasure Hall was immensely vast. As they stepped onto the treasure hall, they immediately felt insignificant as if they had reached the end of the world, truly bizarre.

However, considering that this place was created by an ancestor who had reached the peak of the Unity Realm, they were not surprised.

Inside the treasure hall.

Suddenly, a shocking wave emanated, and Ning Qi and his group immediately rushed in.

As soon as they entered, they saw Fu Chen snatch a Jade Scroll cultivation technique from the hand of a golden statue.

The technique gleamed with a golden glow, exuding an extraordinary aura.

After a brief analysis, they assumed that the cultivation technique displayed in the Golden Treasure Hall could only be the Harmonization Profound Skill.

Perhaps it was the very cultivation technique practiced by the master of the Golden Celestial Tomb, that ultimate ancestor of the Unity Realm.

Upon seeing Fu Chen succeed, two angry voices immediately rang out!

"Fu Chen, put down the cultivation technique."

"Leave the technique, or there will be no place for you in the Southern True Domain!"

Wu Dao and Ren Zong's voices echoed forcefully.

Fu Chen was nearly driven to curse his fate!

In the treasure hall, with so many items, why fixate on the cultivation technique he seized?

But he also knew that in the Northern and Southern Domains, the strongest were only at the Integration Realm.

Those giants had been stuck in the Integration Realm for countless years, unable to see the way ahead, longing for the day they could step into the Unity Realm.

For the two domains, as long as any supreme giant from an Upper Sect could step into the Unity Realm, they could immediately dominate the North and South, potentially unifying both domains and recreating the glory of the Profound Truth Realm.
