"No... I don't need your help. It's... it's not yet... my... my limit..."
Heavenly Teacher Master was so tired that even his soul's voice transmission was trembling, indicating he was indeed near his limit, but he remained remarkably stubborn.
The sixtieth-floor ladder is one that most Venerable Sages don't necessarily endure.
Yet Heavenly Teacher Master, with the strength of a seventh-stage lower Sage, had managed to reach the fifty-fifth floor ladder, which truly is an extraordinary achievement.
Even if he were to give up now, he could take pride.
However, despite Heavenly Teacher Master's usually laid-back demeanor, he is undeniably among the proudest individuals at heart.
Back in the Battle of Sealing Gods in Pangu Universe, Heavenly Teacher Master dared to challenge the four great sages with his own power, showing his pride.
Now, even though he was nearly exhausted to the point of collapse, he was still that lofty and proud sage.
