Dark Forest.

A few days ago, after the news of the Heaven Stairway to the Dark Forest had been spread, the number of cultivators entering the Dark Forest had obviously increased.

Although the Dark Forest was a place where numerous demonic beasts gathered, in the past few days, many powerful cultivators had already entered and the demonic beasts had long since disappeared.

Moon Lake, the most ordinary lake at the foot of the mountain.

As the Heaven Stairway was about to open up, this place would definitely not be peaceful.

At this moment, at the foot of the mountain, there was a sea of people. There were Innate realm cultivators everywhere. These cultivators gathered in groups of three or five and chatted among themselves as if this was a grand meeting that was about to take place.

Beside the Plenilune Lake stood a simple and unadorned stone tablet. The stone tablet was divided into nine levels, and each level was engraved with a series of names. These names were related to the number of people who had passed the Heaven Stairway. The more steps he passed, the shorter the time, the higher his ranking.

"Rank 1 on the Earth Board. The strongest teacher in the academy, Sun Lin, is here as well!"

"Look, that's Luo Jie, ranked third on the Earth Board."

"Look, it's actually King Li Yan, Li Yan."

"Could that be the young master of the Mu Rong family, Murong Bai? He's here too, and he's still as handsome and elegant as before."

"En, who is that beside Luo Jie?"

"I don't know."

Most of the cultivators in the crowd were discussing, most of their focus was on the experts on the Earth Board. As for Ji Haotian, because he was standing next to Luo Jie, he was also paid attention to by some of Luo Jie's admirers, but most of their gazes were filled with ill intent.

"There is still some time before the opening of the Heaven Stairway World, and at that time, it will be an extremely intense fight for the Heaven Stairway. Little friend Haotian, when the time comes, I hope that you can take care of the instructors in the academy. " The dean smiled, glanced at Ji Haotian, and said.

"Haha, Dean, are you kidding me? Those eighth level Body Tempering cultivators want to help us Innate realm experts?" I am Earth Board Rank 1, do I need the help of this kind of trash? When the time comes, it will be good as long as that kid doesn't try to push us back. " Sun Lin glanced at Ji Haotian and sneered.

"Rank 1 on the Earth Board? Is it really that powerful? I will definitely surpass you by then. " Ji Haotian said.

"Big Senior, how did the Earth Board's rank appear?" Ji Haotian frowned slightly and could not help but ask.

Everyone's bodies violently shook. This brat didn't even know what the Earth Board was and dared to claim that he surpassed Sun Lin. This made them feel a bit strange.

"Do you see that stone tablet in the distance?" The stone tablet will give out rewards based on the number of steps that the cultivator passed. The more steps he passed, the shorter the time, and the higher the rank, the better the reward will be. " Yao Suman smiled and patiently explained.

Ji Haotian followed the direction that his eldest senior sister pointed towards, and looked at the stone tablet by the lake, and sure enough, a faint golden name was carved onto the stone tablet.

"Sun Lin, first rank on the Earth Board. Passed 3000 steps. Two hours."

"Li Yue, ranked second on the Earth Board. Passed through 2500 steps. Time used: 4 hours."

"Luo Jie, Rank 3 on the Earth Board. Passed two thousand two hundred steps. Six hours."

Two hours later, the previously peaceful mountain suddenly began to shake violently. A vast and oppressive energy bore down on everyone like a massive mountain.

The calm surface of the lake began to churn violently.

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the lake.

A whirlpool thousands of feet wide was rapidly forming in the middle of the lake, and in the center of the whirlpool, it seemed as if something was about to appear. A mysterious energy fluctuation spread out between the heaven and earth.

"Hua!"

The whirlpool rapidly expanded, and monstrous waves continuously surged towards the cultivators that had gathered here.

When the crowd of cultivators saw this scene, they didn't retreat. Instead, they stopped in their tracks and stared fixedly at the violently churning vortex in front of them.

They understood that the Heaven Stairway was about to open.

The monstrous waves directly soaked the robes of the closest cultivators, but the other cultivators didn't retreat. Instead, their eyes burned with excitement and passion.

Whoosh whoosh!

The water waves in the middle of the whirlpool dispersed. A stone door that exuded an ancient aura slowly emerged from the whirlpool. A mysterious spatial whirlpool slowly formed in the middle of the stone door.

"Charge!"

"Attack!"

"Haha, the grand feast has finally begun!"

Roars could be heard as many peak Xiantian cultivators rushed up at the same time.

Many cultivators gently stepped on the surface of the lake, causing ripples on the surface. Many cultivators quickly approached the stone door.

"Haotian, let's go!"

Ji Haotian's eyes lit up, following closely behind Luo Jie and the rest as they walked towards the spatial whirlpool.

After passing through the whirlpool, Ji Haotian slightly opened his eyes.

What they saw was a massive building, but all they could see was a flight of stairs. At the top of the stairs, they could vaguely see the shadow of a gigantic palace through the clouds.
