On the eighth stone step, a green-robed cultivator stood. His black hair danced and he exuded an indescribable aura.
The tens of thousands of inner sect disciples of the academy looked at that figure with conflicted expressions. Some of them had yet to recover from their shock.
Some of them revealed looks of admiration.
Some of them lowered their heads slightly with ashamed expressions…
Those who mocked and sneered at him earlier on felt their cheeks burn in shame at the thought of it.
Although that figure was only at the eighth stone step of the Dao Heart Stairs, it was as though he had already reached the peak of the immortal Dao, leaving behind the rest of the world as he looked down on all living beings!
In reality, it was not everyone's imagination.
None of the tens of thousands of inner sect disciples present had ascended the eighth stone step of the Dao Heart Stairs!
