Chapter 997: Chapter 997: From today onwards, I am Su Chengyu!

Without an immediate response, Su Chengyu turned his head to look at the scene before him, which was how he came to understand the contents of the trials faced by the others.

Although Ji Yuzhu had already visited the Ascending Heaven Tower and gained something from it, she couldn’t articulate what she had experienced inside.

She only mentioned it felt like going through a dream that was both real and illusory, unable to recall what had happened within the tower herself.

After ascending the tower, Su Chengyu thus gained some understanding of Ji Yuzhu’s statements.

The journey of ascending was indeed almost entirely spent within illusions.

To take away memories after ascending, one probably needs to pass through the most unique tenth level to have a chance.

And the content of this tenth level, as expected, was not simply a test of conscience as Su Chengyu had previously predicted.

Both Lin An and Bei Tang Qian Xiao faced opponents who were not the same, but their strength was comparable to their own, and even showed signs of being superior.

Of course, this was clearly a result of the modifications made by the Ascending Heaven Tower.

Otherwise, just the creation of an illusion equal to Su Chengyu’s abilities wouldn’t possibly be enough to stop Lin An’s progress.

"Yang Junmo... and me, is this also a test of conscience?"

Watching the enemies both people were fighting, this tenth level of trials, though a confrontation, made it difficult for Su Chengyu not to think along these lines.

"Yes, the opponents of this tenth level of trial are also enemies of conscience. Victory over them is not just about surpassing one’s own strength," the Kunwu Immortal explained generously to Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu frowned slightly, not entirely convinced by these words.

During the journey to the Ascending Heaven Tower, Su Chengyu had interacted with this immortal several times.

He could sense the other’s intention to challenge him, but also clearly perceived that the immortal was by no means soft-hearted.

In the sixth level of the trial, a minor slip could have led to a complete loss in that illusionary realm.

Even when he finally detected something amiss, had it not been for "Lin An" speaking out and strengthening Su Chengyu’s resolve, he wouldn’t have been sure he could have walked out of that nearly perfect life.

It was at that time that Su Chengyu became certain:

The Kunwu Immortal, just as the Heaven-Mending Stone had said, didn’t leave the Kunwu Realm behind for the benefit of future generations, but rather it appeared more like a testing ground.

Here any person could be sacrificed at any moment, even those favored by the heavens who managed to reach the tenth level were no exception.

"If they were to be defeated, the price would be more than just a failure to ascend, right?"

"That would depend on whether they are willing to give up or not. Actively giving up the ascent will be deemed a failure and they will be sent away from here. However, if they are reluctant and unwilling to give up voluntarily... the Ascending Heaven Tower has never guaranteed that any ascender could leave unscathed."

These were the rules of the Ascending Heaven Tower, a straightforward exchange of blows, which should be straightforward, but now...

"I know you are of a strong nature, and you care a great deal about those around you. Isn’t this giving you the opportunity? I’ve said you could intervene and help," the Kunwu Immortal said.

"And after helping? Does my own ascent stop here?"

The journey to the Ascending Heaven Tower forced Su Chengyu to be cautious at every turn, as any minor choice, or even a single sentence, might be a trap set by the Kunwu Immortal.

"No, whatever choice you make, you will be able to go to the tenth floor."

As Kunwu’s voice faded, the passage to the next level had already come before Su Chengyu, tantalizingly close.

Su Chengyu did not make a decision immediately; he looked again at the battle between Lin An and Bei Tang Qianxiao.

Although Su Chengyu did not know exactly what the two had gone through inside the Ascending Heaven Tower, it was clear that both understood their enemies were illusions and did not hesitate to strike.

However, facing familiar faces, they ultimately could not bring themselves to strike with lethal force. With their strength already suppressed, their situation was undeniably precarious.

"Although both of their talents are commendable, one is still somewhat lacking, and the other is facing a heart demon that appeared recently. If you do not help, it’s highly likely that both will stop here."

Kunwu Immortal’s benevolent reminder echoed in his ears again, but this time Su Chengyu spoke up directly.

"There’s no need to prompt me anymore, I won’t intervene."

"Are you so worried that helping will affect your own ascent? So much so that you’d rather watch your beloved, your friend, fall into danger?"

Su Chengyu couldn’t help but laugh, "Kunwu Senior, you’re really underestimating me, and you’re underestimating Lin An too. Excuse my frankness, but let alone my illusion—even if you were to personally block Lin An’s path, she definitely wouldn’t stop here because of me."

Above the Otherworldly Chessboard, Kunwu’s lips curved into a smile, seemingly quite pleased with Su Chengyu’s answer.

The scenes he showed Su Chengyu were not live—Lin An had, in fact, already made up her mind and found a way to turn the tide.

Through the void, Kunwu continued, "What about the other one? Her talent is still slightly inferior to your lover’s. The tenth floor is almost a dead end for her."

"If we were ascending together, I naturally wouldn’t stand by idly if she was in crisis, but this is her own trial after all. More importantly, I’m very clear that Bei Tang Qianxiao’s personality would absolutely not allow me to interfere in her own test."

Su Chengyu knew Bei Tang Qianxiao’s temperament all too well. If he were to intervene, it would only cause her discontent.

As long as the trials they went through weren’t tampered with by the Kunwu Immortal himself, Su Chengyu would not take the initiative to intervene.

Of course, if he knew the trial itself was a trap, even if he was aware it was futile, Su Chengyu would still intervene directly.

Before the Otherworldly Chessboard, sensing Su Chengyu’s current thoughts, Kunwu was not angry but delighted, and with a smile, he stroked his beard and gave a slight nod.

"Su family’s boy, since you are determined, I will say no more. Go ascend the tower, and after you pass the tenth floor, I will appear, and then you will know everything there is to know."

In the chessboard scene, Su Chengyu nodded, and after one last glance at the ongoing battle, he walked toward the staircase leading to the last floor.

Since Lin An had already reached the tenth floor, it was time for him to undertake this final trial.

In the last layer of the Ascending Heaven Tower, another man in black was sitting cross-legged on the ground, as if he had been there waiting for something for a long time.

Feeling a strange fluctuation in the space, the man with a frivolous look in his eyes softly spoke, "You’re finally here."

Without waiting for Su Chengyu to speak, the man got up and took the initiative.

"Defeat me, and you shall meet the Kunwu Immortal."

Su Chengyu felt something was amiss; the other man had already brandished a Flying Sword, the Sword Momentum unmatched and boundless.

The blade and the shape of the sword were very familiar to Su Chengyu—it was the Dragon Slayer Sword personally forged by Su Linyuan!

"From this day forth, I shall be Su Chengyu!"
