Chapter 1308 The Third Step

The Northern American County Princess felt a stir in her heart upon seeing Lu Fan steadily advancing on the Heavenly Road. Lu Fan's ability to enter the Heavenly Road had already left her astonished.

What surprised her even more was that Lu Fan could actually walk within the Heavenly Road, and perhaps even ascend the steps. If this were true, it would be a great joy for Lu Fan.

"I truly didn't expect him to possess such means!"

Quietly observing everything before her, Liu Ruyan revealed a hint of surprise. Perhaps, in her opinion, Lu Fan's talent had surpassed her expectations.

"Such powerful strength is indeed extraordinary!"

The Northern American County Princess remarked, "If he can pass the first tier, he will undoubtedly be valued by the royal family. This would be an opportunity for him!"

"Valued by the royal family?"

Liu Ruyan chuckled, "Even so, it might not necessarily be a good thing! The royal family is fraught with deceit, and there's even civil war among the princes. If he were truly valued by the royal family, wouldn't he be exploited by them?"

"To hear you say that, the royal family isn't that terrifying!" The Northern American County Princess shook her head. "However, your words just now seem to express quite some dissatisfaction with the royal family!"

"I am merely stating facts!" Liu Ruyan chuckled. "Your Highness, please do not take offense!"

"You are my friend, so of course, I won't mind!" The Northern American County Princess smiled gently. "However, in my opinion, the royal family is not as terrifying as you imagine!"

"Let's hope so," Liu Ruyan nodded, but she didn't say much more. Some things are best left unsaid, or only hinted at.

At this very moment, throughout the entire imperial capital, many people were looking towards the direction of the Heavenly Road, filled with surprise. The Heavenly Road lighting up at night was enough to indicate that someone had entered it.

In the entire imperial capital, many people wished to enter the Heavenly Road, but they had never had the opportunity. Now, in the dead of night, someone had entered the Heavenly Road, leaving them somewhat puzzled.

And at this moment, Lu Fan was continuously climbing the Heavenly Road. Despite the immense pressure, he showed no hesitation.

Although the Heavenly Road's pressure was great, Lu Fan's aura was powerful. As he continued to climb, the Heavenly Road could not block his path. In the blink of an eye, Lu Fan had already crossed the first tier.

Witnessing this scene, the Northern American County Princess was overjoyed. She hadn't expected Lu Fan to possess such fortune, ascending the first tier in an instant.

Those who could enter the Heavenly Road were already extraordinary, and to be able to ascend another step was even more astonishing.

At the same time, Lu Fan's gaze became solemn. He knew very well that the Heavenly Road was no ordinary path, and entering it was by no means easy, let alone continuously ascending the steps.

As Lu Fan stepped onto the first tier, the Heavenly Road's light brightened considerably, illuminating the entire imperial capital. At this moment, many people within the imperial capital began to observe, wondering which peerless prodigy had caused the Heavenly Road to shine so brilliantly.

Those who could make the Heavenly Road radiate such brilliance were all peerless prodigies, one in ten thousand. It was rumored that those who could enter the Heavenly Road were already exceptionally talented. If they could continuously ascend the steps of the Heavenly Road, they would trigger the Heavenly Road's radiance. Such individuals were one in ten thousand, with boundless prospects for the future.

The Northern American County Princess stood by, not saying a word, but her eyes flickered. Even she had not expected Lu Fan to achieve this, which surprised and amazed her.

What she found even more unexpected was that Lu Fan did not buckle under the immense pressure of the first tier. Instead, he continued to advance, filling her with a sense of wonder.

"It seems this Heavenly Road is nothing special!" Liu Ruyan shrugged. "The fact that he can ascend the steps so easily is truly baffling!"

In response to these words, the Northern American County Princess shook her head. "The Heavenly Road is definitely not that simple. His ability to continuously ascend the steps is enough to show that his talent is very strong!"

Liu Ruyan remained silent. She did not refute the Northern American County Princess's words. If Lu Fan's strength were not formidable, he would likely not have been able to enter the Heavenly Road, let alone act in such a manner on it.

Lu Fan pressed forward step by step, enduring immense pressure. Each step he took carried a surging momentum. Even with the Heavenly Road's oppressive aura, he did not retreat, as if his heart held only the will to advance.

After continuous progress, Lu Fan directly reached the third tier. The entire Heavenly Road instantly became brighter, illuminating the entire imperial capital. Even within the imperial palace, there was considerable commotion, and many experts began to observe.

They remembered that the last time the Heavenly Road had shone so brightly was a century ago. They never expected that today, someone would ascend to the third tier within the Heavenly Road; it was truly unbelievable.

"Such powerful aura!"

The Northern American County Princess stood beside him, her eyes filled with joy. What was happening before her had caught her somewhat off guard.

"Those who can enter the Heavenly Road are no ordinary individuals," Liu Ruyan smiled. "I am just very curious, to which tier can he reach!"

Following these words, the Northern American County Princess also paused slightly, her expression fluctuating. She knew very well that reaching the third tier was already extraordinary. If he could continue further, the entire imperial capital, or even the entire Heavenly Court Dynasty, would be shaken.

Within the imperial city, a figure in white flashed past, arriving beside the Heavenly Road in an instant. At the same time, he furrowed his brow slightly and looked towards Lu Fan's location.

"Brother Bai Long, you've come too!"

The Northern American County Princess smiled. "This aura, have you never seen it before?"

"Of course, I haven't seen it!" Bai Long nodded. "I didn't expect this kid to reach the third tier; it truly shocks me!"

"I am also somewhat surprised. Based on his actual strength, he shouldn't be able to reach the third tier. Even being able to enter the Heavenly Road would be considered excellent!" the Northern American County Princess stated. "However, it seems it's not that simple. Such powerful talent also moves me!"

"With such powerful talent, if he can serve the royal family in the future, it will undoubtedly be a great fortune!"

Bai Long nodded, his gaze becoming more serious. He understood this point clearly.

The Northern American County Princess also nodded solemnly. She knew very well that such a powerful individual would certainly be a great asset to the entire Heavenly Court.

Meanwhile, Bai Long's expression shifted slightly. Even he knew that this matter was not trivial. Lu Fan would undoubtedly become the star of the imperial capital in the future, capable of commanding a region and serving the royal family.
