Chapter 33 - Swordsmanship Heaven Stairway

Within the inner sect, being able to rank in the top ten was an extremely tyrannical feat.

After Bing Ling flew up from the sword technique's Heaven Stairway, all the disciples exclaimed and started discussing amongst themselves.

Fang Chen could see very clearly that although Bing Ling was strong, her understanding of sword arts was not that outstanding.

"This swordsmanship, Heaven Stairway, is indeed magical."

Fang Chen's face revealed a trace of a smile, as though he had the impulse to rush to the Heaven Stairway.

Next, a few more disciples tried to climb the Sky Stairway, but basically, none of them were able to reach the fifth floor.

After about a quarter of an hour, the entire sword arts Heaven Stairway had started to boil. This was because the usually elusive and mysterious inner sect disciples had started to arrive one after another at the sword arts Heaven Stairway.

"It's Bai Yuan, I didn't expect him to come too."

"Not only Bai Yuan, even Yu Chong has come."

"All the top ten inner disciples, other than the top ranker Du Zhong, are all here? Are all of them going to challenge the sword technique, Heaven Stairway?"

Many disciples exclaimed when they saw the newcomer.

Even Fang Chen was looking thoughtfully at the disciples in front of him.

"Haha, brother Bai Yuan, you want to challenge the sword technique, Heaven Stairway?" Chong Yu looked at Bai Yuan and asked.

"Yeah, when I saw Junior Sister Bing Ling challenge the Heaven Stairway, I couldn't help but want to try it too." Bai Yuan laughed.

"Senior Brother Bai Yuan might be able to reach the ninth floor of the Heaven Stairway?" Many disciples flattered.

In the inner sect, Bing Ling was ranked sixth. Aside from Bing Ling, there were eight other top ten disciples in the inner sect this time, and only Du Zhong did not come.

After the inner sect's top ten disciples greeted each other, Baili Ming, who was ranked ten, started to climb the Heaven Stairway.

Baili Ming, a disciple of the 5th level of the Refinement Realm, was ranked tenth within the inner sect.

Last time, Baili Ming had reached the fifth floor, but this time, he didn't know if he could reach a higher floor.

Sou sou sou …

Baili Ming's figure became vigorous and he climbed up the sword technique Heaven Stairway in a moment.

Baili Ming's speed was very fast for the first five levels of the Heavenly Stairway. However, when Baili Ming reached the fifth level, he stopped and brandished his sword.

Whoosh …

Numerous sword lights were waved out, and many disciples were mesmerized by them.

"Although this Baili Ming is not as strong as Bing Ling, his sword arts are much stronger." Fang Chen glanced at Baili Ming's sword technique and commented.

Just as Fang Chen finished speaking, Baili Ming's body moved, and instantly rushed to the sixth floor.

Even at the sixth floor, Baili Ming still did not stop. He continued to wave his sword, and Baili Ming's sword arts were like a torrential river, continuous and unending, giving off a very gentle feeling.

However, it was this feeling that made Fang Chen feel a dangerous aura.

"This sword-art …"

Fang Chen frowned slightly and said softly.

Because he had the golden heart, with the passing of time, Fang Chen's comprehension of the way of the sword grew deeper and deeper.

At this moment, Fang Chen could clearly feel that within Baili Ming's sword technique, there was a different kind of aura.

"Concept?"

Fang Chen said in confusion, but in the next moment he immediately denied it himself.

A Qi Refinement Realm practitioner had no way of comprehending a concept. Only by reaching the qi transformation realm would one have the right to comprehend a concept.

"So that's how it is." After a long while, Fang Chen finally understood that Baili Ming's sword technique contained a trace of a concept, but this concept did not belong to him.

"Baili Ming should have also seen the Qi Transformation Stage powerhouses's state of mind before, right?" Fang Chen said in a low voice.

Just as Fang Chen was talking, another commotion broke out in front of the sword technique Heaven Stairway.

At the seventh level of the Heavenly Stairway, Baili Ming stood still as he continuously brandished the longsword in his hand, causing sword light to appear.

Baili Ming still had not given up. He wanted to rush to a higher level.

Fifteen minutes later, Baili Ming used his exquisite sword techniques and finally managed to rush to the eighth level with difficulty.

After reaching the eighth level, Baili Ming was finally unable to hold on and exited the Sword Arts Stairway.

Among all the disciples in the inner sect, other than Baili Ming, the only one who was able to reach the eighth level of the Heavenly Stairway was the one ranked first, Du Zhong.

"Oh my god, Baili Ming actually managed to reach the eighth level of the Heaven Stairway. Could it be that his swordsmanship is comparable to Du Zhong's?"

"Baili Ming is indeed a genius of the way of the sword. In time, his name will definitely shake the entire Green Edge Sword Sect."

"That's right, Baili Ming's sword arts are too strong. As long as he goes up to the next level, his sword arts will definitely reach an unimaginable level."

Many disciples were discussing softly, even Fang Chen acknowledged Baili Ming's sword technique.

By relying on his own hard work, he was able to reach such a level of mastery in his sword arts. He could be considered a genius.

"This Baili Ming will definitely have a higher achievement in the way of the sword compared to others in the future." Fang Chen thought so.

"Baili Ming, I never thought that you would actually make it to the eighth floor. I truly admire you." Even Bai Yuan and the others congratulated him.

The next person to challenge the Heaven Stairway was the ninth ranked disciple. This disciple's sword arts was obviously inferior to Baili Ming's, and in a short while, the Heaven Stairway was over.

He finally came to a halt at the fifth floor. He hadn't reached the sixth floor yet.

An hour later, out of the ten great disciples, other than Bai Yuan, who had already charged their way through the Heaven Stairway, the rest of the disciples had all finished.

However, other than Baili Ming, there was not another disciple that appeared that shocked everyone else.

The other disciples were only able to reach the sixth level or something similar to Bing Ling.

At this moment, all of the disciples were looking at Bai Yuan and Chong Yu, because Bai Yuan was ranked second and third respectively amongst the top ten inner sect disciples.

The two of them might be able to reach Baili Ming's level, but it was impossible for them to reach the top.

"Brother Bai Yuan, I will be taking the challenge first."

After he had finished speaking, his figure flashed as he stepped onto the sword technique Sky Stairway.

was surprised by Yu Yu's display of sword techniques. He had thought that Yu Yu's technique would be a lower tier sword technique, but he never expected it to be a more ordinary Five Elements Sword.

Back in the days in the outer sect, Wen Zhengyun had cultivated the Five Elements Sword.

However, when used, the might of the Five Elements Sword was obviously stronger. Although he could not use his power, but his understanding of the sword arts had exceeded that of ordinary people.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Above the Heavenly Stairway, countless disciples were mesmerized by the exquisite sword techniques.

Before long, he had charged to the sixth level of the Heavenly Stairway. After pausing for a while on the sixth level, he once again charged to the seventh level.

"I wonder if he'll be able to make it to the eighth floor." Bai Yuan looked at Chong Yu and smiled.

Fang Chen, who was in the midst of the crowd, looked at the sword technique that was about to be unleashed and shook his head slightly. He said, "Although the Five Elements Sword that is about to be unleashed is extremely exquisite, it seems to have gone to the extreme. I have not completely grasped the true essence of the Five Elements Sword."

Just as Fang Chen finished his sentence, he failed his attempt at the eighth level of the Heaven Stairway and immediately retreated.

The failed charge was also a bit helpless. He glanced at Baili Ming and sighed, then quickly left.

The failure to rush forward shocked everyone. Only Fang Chen knew that to rush forward to fail was a reasonable thing to do.

"The true essence of the Five Elements Sword is that it complements the five elements. The Five Elements Sword that is used to fight against it does not complement the five elements at all, but fights on its own. Even if one cultivates it to the extreme, one will not be able to grasp the essence." Fang Chen thought.

"He hasn't even made it to the eighth floor yet. I wonder if Bai Yuan can make it to the eighth floor."

"It's extremely possible, Bai Yuan's talent in the way of the sword is only second to Du Zhong, he might be able to make it up."

"In a sword arts battle, Bai Yuan might not even be a match for Baili Ming." Within the crowd, many disciples were discussing.

Whoosh …

Bai Yuan's figure quickly appeared on top of the sword technique's Heaven Stairway. He instantly performed his exquisite sword technique.

Not long later, Bai Yuan arrived at the seventh floor of the Sword Arts Stairway. At this moment, all the disciples looked at Bai Yuan, wanting to see if he could reach the eighth floor.

Whoosh …

In the midst of everyone's dumbstruck expressions, Bai Yuan executed an exquisite sword strike, causing Fang Chen to be startled.

In the next moment, Bai Yuan stepped onto the eighth floor.

Bai Yuan, who had stepped onto the eighth floor, still wanted to reach the ninth floor, but in the end, he failed.

After Bai Yuan's Heaven Stairway was completed, there was no one who was willing to go up to show their disgrace, since even the top ten disciples of the inner sect were unable to do so, let alone them.

However, right at this moment, Fang Chen walked towards the Heaven Stairway to the sword technique one step at a time.

"It's Fang Chen. life and death arena killed Shangguan Bu. Suddenly, someone recognized Fang Chen and exclaimed.

"Hmph, does he think that Swordsmanship Sky Stairway is just for show? "How laughable."

"Even inner sect's strongest warrior, Du Zhong, was unable to reach the ninth floor. I bet he could only make it to the fifth floor at most." Many disciples were not optimistic about Fang Chen.

The ten great disciples of the inner sect had never once looked at Fang Chen, other than, of course, Bing Ling.

Seeing that Fang Chen wanted to rush to the Sky Stairway, Bing Ling walked in front of him and warned him in a low voice, "Although the Sword Arts Stairway is not dangerous, it will still bear a lot of pressure when you are on the Sky Stairway. Once you feel that the pressure is too great, you must quickly withdraw, or else it will create a shadow over you, preventing you from cultivating the way of the sword in the future."

"Thank you, Sister Bingling."

Fang Chen had a very good impression of Bing Ling, because when he was at the Cultivation Pagoda, the one who started a conflict with Li Guanglong was Bing Ling who spoke out to help him.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yuan frowned slightly, as he was a little dissatisfied with Fang Chen.

"Bing Ling, do you know him?" Bai Yuan asked in a low voice.

"Once." Bing Ling said indifferently.

"Oh?" After Bai Yuan heard this, a strange expression appeared in his eyes.

However, Fang Chen was still able to notice the peculiar expression in Bai Yuan's eyes, it seemed that Bai Yuan cared a lot about the icicles.

Fang Chen did not think much about it and stepped onto the sword technique's Heaven Stairway.
