— Chapter 282 —

At the start of Nine Heaven Staircases, Yunlong and his companions had a casual lunch.

Seven Children of Sea God watched them with a speechless look because none of them were normal.

They received the most challenging trial below Sea God’s Nine Trial, which Yunlong took because he was Sea God’s inheritor.

Even Bo Saixi, who stayed in the Sea God’s temple, frowned upon them when seven crimson rays appeared on the Sea God’s island.

Honestly, Bo Saixi thought Kaguya was the only one whose fate connected to Yunlong, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Yunlong shared his blood essence with his companion and changed their futures. The exception of that was Zhu Zhuyun and Xue Nu, who inherently connected to him in different ways.

Zhu Zhuyun hasn’t received Yunlong’s essence blood, but her soul was affected in the past by his sharingan. It was a small change but a noticeable one because she walked on a different path than it should have been.

Xue Nu is a different case because she shouldn’t have appeared and meddled with this era yet.

She was one of the most significant figures in the future but was poached early by Yunlong because of an unknown threat, which altered her destiny.

Yunlong looked at the ladies gently and said, “Well, who would expect each of you to get red level trials.”

“Haha, what a surprise.” He added with a chuckle.

“It’s not a coincidence…” Sea Dragon Douluo’s mouth twitched slightly. “No, it’s far from a coincidence.”

“He knew about it.”

“He absolutely knew that his maids would receive red level trials.” He added solemnly, leaving the other Seven Children of Sea God mute.

Sea Woman Douluo frowned and questioned, “But how?”

“Like I would know.” Sea Dragon Douluo answered with a sigh.

As Yunlong finished his lunch, he moved his gaze to Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Yunxi. “Let’s go, Xiaoyu, Yunxi.” He said while offering them his hands.

Kaguya pulled his clothes from behind and said, “I want to go too.”

Yunlong shook his head and answered, “Don’t worry, you’ll get your part later.”

“I chose Xiaoyu and Yunxi earlier because they have been on my side since I was small.” He added naturally.

He gave Kaguya a pouch of sweet pills and patted her light on the head, which calmed her down.

“Be a good girl, and wait, okay?” Yunlong whispered, to which Kaguya responded with a nod.

“Hmm, okay,” Kaguya replied while chewing on the sweet pill.

Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Yunxi walked to Yunlong and hugged his arms simultaneously. They stared at him with a hopeful gaze.

“It’s been 11 years since we met, huh,” Yunlong commented while walking to the Nine Heaven Staircase.

“Fufu~ That’s correct, young master.” Chu Yunxi responded while giggling beside him. “I’m so grateful that you saved us back then.”

Chu Xiaoyu nodded her head softly in agreement and added, “You’re our savior.”

“Is that so?” Yunlong released his aura to cover them.

They stepped on the Nine Heavens Staircase and felt a faint pressure enter their bodies.

Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Yunxi instinctively repelled this sensation with their spirit energy, which was no good.

“Don’t fight the pressure, and accept it to your body,” Yunlong commented while using his twin dragon martial souls.

Nine Heavens Staircases is a place where one could undergo Mimesis Training. The most effective Mimesis Training Ground in this era currently.

A Mimesis Training Ground is a place for a soul master to place their martial spirit or spirit essence through an environment that emulates the natural habitat of their cor-respective spirit beast, enabling it to get the maximum results from the training.

Most training grounds couldn’t create a natural habitat because of the lack of actual spirit beasts. An example of that was Spirit Hunting Ground and Sunset Forest in Heaven Dou City.

Chu Xiaoyu closed her eyes calmly and called her sword martial soul, letting frost enter her body.

Chu Yunxi followed aftward and sensed her martial soul aroused by the energy within Nine Heavens Staircases.

“I see,” She felt abundant energy and couldn’t hide her smile.

“Follow my steps,” Yunlong said while stepping onto the second steps.

They advanced to the second stage and couldn’t feel anything different, proceeding to 111 steps in a few breaths.

“Did they just reach 111 steps?!” Sea Woman Douluo’s eyes widened in shock. “HOW!”

“This is their first time climbing Nine Heaven Staircases.”

The answer to that was simple. Yunlong filtered every energy within a 10 meters radius and shared them with Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Yunxi.

Even though their pressure lessened because of Yunlong, they still had to bear half of it and absorbed the shared spirit energy efficiently.

It wasn’t an easy task because the shared spirit energy was like an ocean pouring into small containers. Yes, Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Yunxi’s energy pools aren’t comparable to Yunlong’s.

However, both Daughter and Mother have different methods of using spirit energy.

Chu Xiaoyu tilted her sword forward and received the spirit energy through the blade.

In a swift breathing motion, she converted the refined force into hers. Her martial soul released a faint yet mysterious blue light.

Chu Yunxi breathed and absorbed the shared spirit energy into her heart, forming the soul core Bibi Dong taught her in the past.

Wind and Ice floated around her, which indicated her soul core’s attribute.

Yunlong smiled because his maids weren’t a fool. They are smart enough to figure out a way to become stronger.

He refined the raw energy within Nine Heavens Staircases with Mortal Sin: Gluttony’s help and shared 25 percent of it with his maids.

25% doesn’t seem much at first glance, but it was enough to make one breakthrough into the Spirit King realm.

They continued to the 222 steps, and Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Yunxi began to release sweat.

“Are you two okay?” Yunlong asked naturally.

“I’m okay.” Chu Xiaoyu answered while gripping her sword.

“Hehe, It’s still bearable.” Chu Xiaoyu replied with a giggle.

Yunlong placed his hand on their shoulders and said, “If you can’t handle the pressure, tell me, okay.”

They nodded like a kitten and continued to walk upon the Nine Heaven Staircases.

CRACK!

At the 300 tiles, Yunlong’s step caused the Nine Heaven Staircases to crack.

He frowned because it was more difficult than Angel God’s Heaven Stairs. “Ah, wait, I was cheating before.” He chuckled while remembering to use the teleportation mark with a spear.

Yunlong could use the same method, but Bo Saixi most likely won’t approve his move. Qian Daoliu was an understanding geezer because he let them cheat their ways to 690 steps.

“Well. I have a different way.” He commented while using his sharingan to detect the weakest point of Nine Heavens Staircases.

A flow of energy entered Yunlong’s sight, which caused him to smirk mischievously. His left hand shone with golden brilliance.

[Harmony Flow] is one of the most useful or broken skills True Saint Dragon possessed. It caused any unstable force to harmonize with Yunlong’s order.

Of course, Yunlong couldn’t control the unstable force outside his limit.

He raised his left hand and broke through the flimsy pressure casually. Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Yunxi felt the tension disappear suddenly.

They thought he was taking all the pressure himself, but camouflaging is a proper word for their condition now.

Harmony Flow caused three of them to become one with Nine Heavens Staircase. It’s simply cheating because they received benefits without being tested.

Without any repercussions, Yunlong and the mother-daughter duo walked past 333 steps.

Bo Saixi frowned on the top because the 333 steps were nothing. Yet, They advanced too fast.

The higher someone climbs, the more pressure literally was applied to the person by Sea God’s Light. Contained within the light is the soul energy of countless spirit beasts.

The Nine Heaven Staircases actually was divided into nine realms, and the first three realms were nothing special.

From stage 334 onward, the fourth realm, the spirit energy of 1 step, is equivalent to all the previous steps combined. The spirit energy won’t be just pressure but also attack.

The first three realms allow a person to experience the pressure of a mighty spirit beast. After that, the spirit beast will come and attack the soul master. It grows stronger the higher the spirit master climbs.

Yunlong looked at the lone figure of Bo Saixi on the top and smirked because she was clearly confused.

They reached the 420 steps and took a breather because Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Yunxi had to refine the spirit energy they gained here.

A few minutes later, they continued and reached the 690 steps.

“700, 800, and 900.” Bai Xue commented while watching them from the below.

Even though it was easier than it should have been, Yunlong still had to handle the pressure with his body. He could feel some of his bones on the verge of breaking.

[White Light Grace] and [Incomplete Immortality] make sure Yunlong doesn’t receive any fatal injuries.

“Heh, I’m not an m, but I might get used to the pain now.” Yunlong stretched a little because he could still feel pain all over his body.

Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Yunxi’s breathing was odd.

They received 5% percent of what Yunlong experienced, yet it was still too great to handle.

Chu Xiaoyu’s hand trembled because her sword barely could handle the refined spirit energy now.

Chu Yunxi was on the verge of creating her soul core and tried her best to ignore the pain in her body. She focused on walking behind Yunlong and completed her Icewind core.

“Bear it for a few moments,” Yunlong commented while clenching his fist. “I’ll break the barrier for us.”

He was in a situation where his body was injured, which was the requirement to launch Torrent. Light dragon energy burst out of his left hand.

Yunlong grasped a strand of his clothes and hardened it into a stick.

He pointed the stick at the steps and said, “Torrent.”

BOOM!

A pathway abruptly was created by Yunlong’s powerful discharge, and he quickly brought Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Xiaoyu into his embrace.

He ran to the top, ignoring some of his bones that cracked in the way.

“990…” He whispered while taking a step forward.

Crack!

He grinned and moved toward Bo Saixi like a madman, reminding her of past scenery.

Tang Chen walked on the Nine Heavens Staircases and moved forward quickly, reaching 787 steps of the staircase without stopping.

She stood in front of Tang Chen and warned him not to advance any further because he wasn’t the destined one.

Bo Saixi blinked her eyes and saw a young man standing in front of her with a ferocious look. Yunlong’s body horribly was filled with injuries, blood, and bruises.

“That was nothing.” He sneered confidently.

Bo Saixi sighed and closed her eyes, preparing herself to receive Yunlong’s kiss because it was her duty.

However, Bo Saixi couldn’t feel anything for minutes.

“Hmm?” She opened her eyes, and Yunlong had disappeared.

Yunlong walked down the Nine Heavens Staircases to get his next maid. His injuries healed when he arrived at the bottom.

“…” Bo Saixi.

“…” Seven Children of Sea God.

“Mad lad…” Sea Woman Douluo whispered. “He’s a complete mad lad.”

“Don’t tell me he wants to repeat that again and again?!”

Yunlong smirked at her and commented, “It’s called rinse and repeat.”

He picked Yu Ning’er by her hand and added, “Are you ready, Ning’er?”

Yu Ning’er smiled and answered, “Of course, I couldn’t help but be excited.”

Bo Saixi’s mouth was wide open for a moment because Yunlong might be crazier than Tang Chen. She also has to admit he possessed a weird charm around him.

“The perseverance of a monster.” Bo Saixi commented while looking down on the Nine Heavens Staircases, where Yunlong climbed up quickly again with another maid.

Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Yunxi were in a meditation state near Bo Saixi. They immediately entered such a state because Yunlong made them over-harvesting the spirit energy.

Bo Saixi raised her gaze to the sky and questioned, “Oh, Poseidon. What kind of inheritor you actually approved?”
