Chapter 288: This Flute’s Smell… Why Is It Strange?

Space began to distort and tremble, as if trying to impede Nie Chen’s steps.

The magical treasures hidden in the deepest depths seemed to become fearful.

Yet, step by step, he ascended, and nothing could stop Nie Chen.

“Boom!”

As the golden giant’s Dharma Body materialized in midair, everywhere Nie Chen passed was crushed into dust.

His back was covered in golden light, and in an instant, he resembled a descending god, inspiring awe and fear.

“Just how strong is he? I’m afraid he’s only second to the Great Emperor!”

“No wonder even the Empress looks at Nie Chen differently. I heard he’s not even a hundred years old. Is this terrifying level truly attainable by a human?”

Witnessing this scene, everyone was stunned and felt a sudden tremor.

They fully believed that if Nie Chen turned around at this moment, his colossal golden Dharma Body could instantly trample them all into mincemeat.

It was precisely because of this terrifying strength that the stairway, which others found difficult to even set foot on, seemed insignificant before Nie Chen.

At this rate, the magical treasures, whose origins were unknown, would also fall into his hands.

Just as everyone focused their attention on Nie Chen, Yao Mengyun gently closed her eyes.

At this moment, all the commotion seemed to vanish like smoke, unable to disturb her mind.

After each closed-door cultivation session, her strength would further improve.

She was only one step away from the Transforming Sea Realm.

And now, this threshold seemed to be right before her eyes.

Surpassing and defeating Nie Chen had always been Yao Mengyun’s greatest desire.

And now, the opportunity was right in front of her.

This time, she couldn’t miss it again.

“Nie Chen!”

Yao Mengyun suddenly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were filled with determination, and at the same time, her aura began to rise steadily.

Finally, it stabilized at the Transforming Sea Realm!

Finally able to compete with Nie Chen, she had truly comprehended and crossed into the Transforming Sea Realm at this moment!

Instantly, Yao Mengyun’s momentum soared, revealing a different kind of desire and determination.

Her usually calm face showed a hint of excitement.

This time, she would not fail.

The golden steps leading to the sky were towering and steep, seemingly unreachable.

Yet, Yao Mengyun took a step forward without hesitation, exerting all her strength to climb upwards.

Using an ancient secret technique from the Fanhua Sacred Lands, countless flowers faintly appeared around her.

These flowers swayed beautifully, seemingly containing boundless Spiritual Energy.

As the flowers drifted down, they paved a floral path for her.

Wherever Yao Mengyun passed, flowers covered the steps, allowing her to proceed unimpeded.

Layers of steps were quickly crossed.

In no time, Yao Mengyun approached Nie Chen, seemingly about to surpass him.

“Congratulations, congratulations. Unexpectedly, Miss Mengyun would break through at such a critical moment. It seems your temperament and insight far surpass ordinary people.”

Nie Chen smiled calmly.

Then, he took two more steps.

Only three steps remained from the final destination.

At this moment, two female disciples of the Fanhua Sacred Lands who witnessed this scene instantly cheered with joy:

“Miss Mengyun has indeed broken through to the Transforming Sea Realm!”

“She really broke through! Miss Mengyun is truly amazing!”

The two couldn’t hide their sudden excitement.

But then they remembered the poisonous pronouncements of so many Senior Sisters in the Sacred Lands…

“What does a poisonous pronouncement matter? How could Miss Mengyun’s strength be affected by such a thing?”

The female disciple on the left raised her mouth slightly, clearly very proud.

“That’s right. After her dao heart broke many times, Nie Chen has almost become a heart demon for Miss Mengyun.”

“And now, it’s time for Miss Mengyun to overcome her heart demon.”

“With Miss Mengyun’s strength and temperament, now that she has broken through to the Transforming Sea Realm, it’s a sure win. What accident could possibly happen?”

“Right, how could there be any accident? Really, the world isn’t that cruel, hahaha.”

“Haha… ha…”

As they laughed, the two female disciples’ faces involuntarily turned pale.

Looking at each other’s smiles, a trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on their faces.

Why did they feel like they had just uttered some terribly poisonous words?

“It’s just casual talk, it shouldn’t be a big deal…”

“It shouldn’t… be, right?”

The two female disciples also seemed a bit embarrassed.

At this moment, as Yao Mengyun took her next step, boundless Majesty suddenly enveloped her from all directions.

There was no vision.

But she felt as if the world was filled with endless pressure.

The pressure from all directions seemed capable of crushing everything, making it difficult for Yao Mengyun to straighten her back.

“Bang.”

The millions of flowers floating around her were instantly crushed into fragments.

The Sacred Lands secret technique that helped Yao Mengyun stand here was gone.

Endless pressure overwhelmed her, making Yao Mengyun feel extremely strained.

No matter how much strength she exerted, she could no longer take another step.

Indeed, with her own power, she had reached her limit.

“But…”

Yao Mengyun suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with determination.

After losing to Nie Chen time and time again, she had undergone boundless preparation.

This time, she wouldn’t fail again.

Although her own strength had reached its limit, defeating Nie Chen wasn’t solely reliant on her own power!

With the power her sister had given her, she would surely defeat Nie Chen!

Suddenly, Yao Mengyun took out a wooden box from her spatial ring and respectfully removed the bamboo flute inside.

The emerald green bamboo flute rested there, exuding a terrifying Spiritual Energy.

Because this bamboo flute was an extremely rare Heavenly Grade magical treasure.

No matter how powerful Nie Chen was, could he possibly contend against a Heavenly Grade magical treasure?

The final three steps were right before her eyes.

For her, who had now advanced to the Transforming Sea Realm and possessed the Heavenly Grade magical treasure bamboo flute…

These last few steps didn’t seem difficult to cross.

Unintentionally, Yao Mengyun, who usually lacked expression, wore a smug smile.

Because this time, she would finally truly defeat Nie Chen.

She would no longer be heartbroken because of him!

Her confidence restored, with a smug smile, Yao Mengyun picked up the bamboo flute and was about to play it.

But the moment her lips were about to touch the bamboo flute, Yao Mengyun suddenly felt something strange.

This bamboo flute’s smell… why… was it not right?
