Chapter 324 - 324 It Is Impossible for This Kid to Ascend

324 It Is Impossible for This Kid to Ascend

“Die from a fall, die from exhaustion, die from an explosion…”

Just as Feng Xia was in a daze, the woman had already counted with her fingers. “These are the more normal ways. There’s also dying from over training, from being smashed into minced meat, and starving to death from being trapped in the restriction…”

As she spoke, she could not help but laugh again. Her eyebrows curled up slightly as she stared at Feng Xia with a teasing expression.

Even if she did not continue, Feng Xia seemed to hear those words—

You died so tragically!

“No matter how many times I die, it’s just in the dream. It’s not real.”

The corners of Feng Xia’s mouth twitched and his expression gradually calmed down. He replied with a faint smile, “Let’s continue to talk about Wu Guan. Based on the current situation, something must have gone wrong…”

“What problem can there be with this? It’s nothing more than excessive longing, excessive longing, and only excessive longing!”

“If hatred can be considered longing, it can indeed be considered excessive longing.”

For a moment, Feng Xia was speechless.

After another round of persuasion, he finally confirmed one thing helplessly.

This woman who was transformed from the Heavenly Stairway spirit was completely clueless about what had happened back then—she had really stayed in the same place for more than 3,000 years!

“Forget it. When I see Master again, I must ask him what happened.”

Feng Xia temporarily gave up on the dilemma and looked at the woman. “Then, are you willing to leave this place with me?”

The woman lazily turned over and lay face down in the grass. She shook her calves in front of Feng Xia.

“No, I’m lazy.”

“You can see Patriarch Chenhai again.”

“I’m not interested in an ordinary old man.”

“If you find Patriarch Chenhai, you might be able to see Wu Guan again.”

“Deal!”

At some point, the woman had already stood up. She moved in front of Feng Xia without any inhibitions, the tip of her nose almost touching Feng Xia’s face. She squeezed out a sentence slowly, “So it’s an agreement. You will help me find Wu Guan!”

“Deal!”

A smile finally appeared on Feng Xia’s face.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that his progress in refining the Stairway to Heaven had suddenly jumped from 99% to a perfect 100%!

“Just as I expected!”

Feng Xia’s expression changed slightly as he thought to himself, “The reason why I haven’t been able to reach 100% is not because there’s a problem with the Floating Dream Three Lives Technique I cultivate, nor is there a problem with the way I refine it. It’s because I haven’t obtained the recognition of this artifact spirit…”

Now that he had obtained recognition, everything naturally fell into place.

“Speaking of which, since you’re the Heavenly Stairway spirit but you can’t remember your name, why don’t I call you… Spiritual Maiden?”

“That’s a decent name.”

“Actually, I wanted to call you 007 at first…”

“Get lost!”

The Spiritual Maiden rolled her eyes and turned the back of her head towards Feng Xia. “Oh, right. I forgot to tell you just now. Although I’ve temporarily acknowledged you, don’t expect me to help you in your fights. Unless you encounter some big issue, you still have to do everything yourself!”

“Why?”

“Because I’m lazy!”

“…”

This was really an irrefutable reason.

However, no matter what, to be able to obtain the recognition of the Spiritual Maiden and successfully gain control of the Heavenly Stairway was already an unexpected gain for Feng Xia!

After all, in the beginning, he only wanted to train himself on the Heavenly Stairway to make up for the shortcomings in his cultivation period.

Yet now, not only had he achieved his initial goal, he had even stolen the Heavenly Stairway…

It could not be any better!

Feng Xia took another glance at the Spiritual Maiden, then shook his head and withdrew his consciousness from the inner space of the Heavenly Stairway.

He seemed to have been inside for a long time, but in truth, only an instant had passed in the outside world.

At this moment, seeing Feng Xia’s lips slowly curl up, the nervous Chi Yanli felt his heart skip a beat. His heart was almost jumping out of his throat.

“F-Fellow practitioner Xia Donghai?”

The smile on Feng Xia’s face was way too familiar to him.

Not long ago, when the other party said that he wanted to make a happy deal with him and then ruthlessly trick the Holy Son, he had the same smile on his face!

It was the kind of smile that made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze and could not help themselves from believing in him!

“Who… is he trying to trick this time?!”

Chi Yanli’s hair stood on end.

He looked around and quickly discovered that at this moment, other than Zhu Youniang, Qing Lin and a few others, he was the only outsider left!

It was definitely impossible for Feng Xia to trick his own people.

As such, there was only one answer left.

“He, he, he… he wants to trick me?”

“I don’t think I offended him!”

“Look, Xia Donghai has woken up!”

At the critical moment, at the top of the Heavenly Stairway and the peak of the Central Divine Mountain, a grand demon took notice and immediately exclaimed, “This guy is still at the foot of the mountain. Can he really reach the peak of Central Divine Mountain in time?”

The current era could be said to be a great era that had not appeared for 1,000 years.

The number of elite experts that had emerged this time far exceeded any previous opening of the Demon Imperial Tombs.

Therefore, although many challengers had exhausted their jade talismans on their way up and were expelled by the divine light of the Heavenly Stairway, most of them had turned around and chosen to take the other paths. That was why at this time, there were still a large number of demon beasts gathered on the mountain peak.

Moreover, every single one of them could be considered an expert!

“There are 18 other ways to reach the top of Central Divine Mountain and enter the second level of the Demon Imperial Tombs…”

However, the problem was…

There was less than a day left before the first level of the Demon Imperial Tombs closed!

“Although the longer you stay on the Heavenly Stairway, the more astonishing your harvest will be, you still need to make a choice.”

At the peak of Central Divine Mountain and in front of an ancient stone door, the huge figure of the descendant of the Black Tortoise Clan, Xuan Qinghe, looked into the distance and shook its head regretfully. “What a pity. The genius of a generation is extremely glorious, but in the end, he can’t even enter the second level.”

Its tone was exceptionally sorrowful.

“This is what happens when you’re greedy!”

Not far away, a white tiger licking its fur raised its head. When it heard this, it could not help but sneer. It looked down at Feng Xia and said, “I’ve seen too many of these guys. Very few of them have a good ending.”

Some of the demon beasts present seemed regretful, while others were gloating.

Feng Xia’s previous strong performance had indeed won the respect of some demon beasts, but the number of people he had “offended” was even more shocking!

After all, one side was Xia Donghai of unknown origin, while the other side was the Holy Son who had the support of the Demon Divine Palace!

“Look, that guy seems to have started moving!”

Someone muttered. Then, almost everyone saw the figure at the foot of the mountain slowly take a step forward and…

He disappeared.

Swoosh—

“He’s gone!!”

“This guy actually disappeared? Who saw where he went?”

Countless demon beasts were shocked.

How could a living person… disappear in front of everyone?

Could they have seen a ghost?

“Wow, aren’t there quite a lot of people here?”

In the next moment, a chuckle sounded in the ears of the demons.
