After passing the first twenty layers, Shen Han’s speed of ascending each layer began to quicken.
With a mind both void and focused.
Attending this Thousand-Autumn Grand Gathering, Shen Han realized that achieving this Void Spirit Realm was indeed a substantial gain.
Future visualization and studies would greatly benefit from it.
The crow of the rooster rang out, and the sky was already beginning to brighten.
Without hesitation, Shen Han took another step upward.
At the forty-third layer, as both feet landed on the steps, his consciousness once again entered a vast world.
Void Spirit Realm greatly enhances one’s concentration.
So much so that the flow of time during visualization differed from that of the real world.
Although several hours seemed to pass in this vast world, in reality, only half an hour had passed.
Just as he steadied himself in the world, a phantom emerged from behind.
Holding a large saber, its momentum fierce, it charged ferociously at him.
Shen Han focused slightly, and a shadow of a sword instantly appeared in his hand.
Grasping the sword hilt, he advanced against the saber’s momentum.
In this vast world, Shen Han had no worries about his techniques being exposed.
Especially his most mysterious Celestial Dao Sword Momentum, here, it would go as he wished.
This was no longer about Stepping into the Thousand Autumns; it was clearly his own sword training ground.
"Divine Sword Breaks Earth Momentum!"
The sword shadow pierced through the ground, and in an instant, the opponent wielding the saber was penetrated.
His consciousness retreated, and he regained his senses.
Without hesitation, Shen Han took another step upward.
Forty-fourth layer...
On the outskirts of the Thousand-Autumn Grand Gathering, the mustached middle-aged man hurriedly picked up the communication treasure and once more sent a message to the Shen Mansion in Yun’an City.
Since last night, after Shen Han had passed the thirtieth layer, he had been messaging the Shen Mansion continuously.
But those at the Shen Mansion had all gone to rest early, not even giving a response.
Now, even though it was past 7:00 AM, if no one was there last night, someone should be paying attention to these messages this morning.
After sending messages three times in a row, there was finally a reply from the Shen Mansion.
[Shen Han has already passed the forty-third layer, report this to the Old Dowager swiftly!]
Clutching the message, Cai Xue hurried to the dining hall.
In the dining hall, the Old Dowager of the Shen Family was leisurely enjoying her breakfast.
The Old Dowager hadn’t practiced the Martial Path, but through years of a privileged life, her health was quite well maintained.
Her appetite was good, and she could eat quite a lot every day.
"Why the hurry? One must maintain decorum at home."
Seeing Cai Xue rushing over, the Old Dowager of the Shen Family couldn’t help but admonish her a bit.
Cai Xue took a deep breath, calmed down for a moment, then leaned toward the Old Dowager’s ear.
"Old Dowager, Heyang City’s side just sent a message saying that Young Master Han he..."
"Fell from the Thousand-Autumn steps? But he did endure for some time and reached the twentieth layer?"
The Old Dowager of the Shen Family picked up the napkin beside her and wiped her mouth.
"To advance to the Peak of Grade Eight in four months, reaching twenty layers with such strength is also commendable..."
Before the Old Dowager could finish speaking, Cai Xue couldn’t hold back and interrupted:
"Old Dowager, you misunderstood, Young Master Han didn’t fall, he is becoming steadier, the latest message says he’s already reached the forty-third layer..."
The Old Dowager of the Shen Family turned her head, with some disbelief.
Seeing this expression, Cai Xue repeated herself.
She was certain she had heard clearly, indeed forty-three layers.
The Old Dowager unconsciously froze for a moment.
This girl Cai Xue had been by her side for years, always extremely reliable, hardly ever making mistakes.
If she said so, then Heyang City must truly have sent such news.
With her cane in hand, the Old Dowager of the Shen Family hurriedly asked Cai Xue to support her to the main hall.
Before the sound transmission magical artifact, the Old Dowager of the Shen Family personally inquired across.
A reply was received shortly.
