Chapter 9: Half a Day

Chapter 9: Half a Day

Wang Bao had his livers go green with envy. His fiancee was hugging another man in front of him!

You! I challenge you at the Stairway to Heaven! Whoever can climb the highest will get to marry her!

. I think you are misunderstanding something here. She only likes me as a Big Brother, not as a male. And shes too young for that, so why are you so childish?

Y-you! I dont care! This is about my pride. Do you dare climb or not?!

Well I already planned to climb it when I heard about it, so why not?

Tian Yi agreed to his little game.

Good! Dont think that just because youre older than me, youll beat me! Ill beat you and show you that Im a better fiance for her!

Like I said, Im not trying to..

No buts! Wang Bao interrupted him.

* * * * *

After another few hours of waiting, the show finally begins.

The sky shines with brightness, and 100 Immortals ranging from Silver Immortals to Golden Immortals were in the sky, standing in a formation with a palm-sized sealed box hovering in the middle of the formation.

Then three more Immortals came down from the sky, but this time they had a different aura to them. Each of them had a different aura that looked domineering in its way.

Look, its the Sect Masters from the Four Ancient Land!

Thats Zou Guo, Sect master of Azure Phoenix God Sect! Someone pointed to a middle-aged man who came down first.

Look! Xuan Ruogang, Sect Master of Five Sense Illusion Sect! An incredibly lovely young female in her 20s came down next.

Dont forget about Cao Jian, Sect Master of Water God Sword Sect! Hes the strongest out of them all! Lastly was a handsome young man with looks in his early 20s.

Hey, wheres the Sect Master of Church of the Qilin God, Teng Shi? Shouldnt he be here too?

Hes still trying to look for his disciples killer.

Oh right, that did happen not too long ago.

* * * * *

The three of them floated in the sky, waiting for everybody to quiet down.

Everybody noticed it and stopped talking to listen.

Zou Guo stepped forward and cleared his throat.

Ahem. As you all know, today is the day the Stairway to Heaven will be opened. And when it does, all of you here will have a chance to climb it. If youre lucky, some Sect might notice you and accept you as their disciple. But keep in mind, if youre a mortal and tries to climb this, you will die from the pressure crushing you to your death. As for you Cultivators, dont get arrogant and try to chew more than you can, or else youll end up like the mortals. Dont say that I didnt warn you. He warned everybody and stepped back.

Next, Cao Jian steps up.

Now Ill tell you the rules.

First, the Stairway to Heaven will only be opened for seven days! After that, it will kick everybody out and reseal itself.

Second, there is a total of 10 levels with 10,000 steps in each level. If you decide to quit, break apart the talisman that will be given to you before you start to teleport you back down.

Third, you can not fight or have any intents of harming each other. If I catch you, Ill personally kill you myself!

Lastly, you can not block someones way with intentions to stop them. The Stairway to Heaven is big enough to fit all of you together! So if I catch you, youll fail immediately.

Thats all!

He took a step back.

* * * * *

Next Xuan Ruogang took a step forward and spoke in a clear and soothing voice. Many males even started to drool.

I will be talking about the rewards lastly. Once you reach level 3, you are eligible to join one of the Four Ancient Land, but you must have at least a Cultivation of Heaven Realm or higher. After that, each floor you pass will grant you the reward of that level. The higher you go, the more youll receive obviously.

Level 4, Youll be granted a pill that can raise your Cultivation from Peak Heaven Realm to Immortal Realm.

Level 5, Youll be granted an Immortal Treasure corresponding to your Cultivation.

Level 6, Youll be an Inner Court Disciple instantly.

Level 7, Youll be a Core Disciple, and you can enjoy the best resources in the Sect.

Level 8, Nobody has been able to step on this level in the past 1,000 years, so if you do, youll be a direct disciple of one of the Supreme Elders, who are the former Sect Masters.

Level 9, Nobody has been able to step on this level in this past. One million years! If you do, all Four Ancient Land will spare nothing in expense to groom you into one of the next Sect Master!

Who are you calling old? Youre older than me by a thousand years. Zou Guos eyes twitched.

Sigh, nobody good this year either huh? Xuan Ruogang sighed.

* * * * *

Six days later.

Lao Bai was watching his Young Master Shu nervously

He thought that his Young Master had said he would climb the Stairway to Heaven, yet todays the last day, and hes still sitting there playing with that little girl.

Ahem, Young Master, todays the last day of the Challenge If you dont go now, you might miss the chance to

Ah? Oh, dont worry, theres still time. Tian Yi said and went back to playing with Min Li.

Lao Bai almost cried. Ahh, my little ancestor, what do you mean theres still time? It has already been six days, and the one at the highest is that girl called Mingzhu being at the 7th Level. Dont tell me youre going to fly up there right before it ends?

* * * * *

Your Five Sense Illusion Sect sure is lucky enough to have a disciple like that. Zou Guo sighed.

His sect mostly cultivates pill masters, so they lacked in strength, but they were the riches with the most resource.

Cao Jians young boy isnt half bad either; he is only a few steps behind her. Look, theyre just a few steps away from the 8th Level. They will reach it before the time limit. Xuan Ruogang praised Wang Shui.

..

* * * * *

Only half a day left until the Stairway to Heaven closes.

Big Brother Shu, didnt you say that you will climb the Stairway to Heaven? Theres only very little time left I wanted to watch you climb it too

Lao Bais face finally brightens and said, Shes right Young Master! Theres only half a day left. If you dont climb now, there will be no more chances!

Tian Yi looked at their pleading faces.

Okay, okay. Ill go now. Min Li, watch your Big Brother get first place! He boasted.

Un! I believe you!

Little Shu, are you sure? You dont have to worry about that game with Wang Bao Youre just a mortal, didnt you see what happened to these who went earlier? Min Qiu started to persuade him not to commit suicide.

Hahaha, you dont have to worry about Young Master, if hes a mortal, then what am I? Lao Bai laughed.

Him, a mortal? What kind of joke was that?

You? Arent you just cub? Min Qiu was confused.

. Lao Bai turned speechless.

Dont worry Senior Qiu; Ill be alright.

Tian Yi got up from his chair and started walking towards the entrance.

Ill be back in a bit, so dont cause any trouble while Im away okay? He said to Min Li.

Un! She nodded her head.

Her cause trouble? Itll be you wholl be causing trouble! Thought Lao Bai.

They all watched him leave until his back disappears into the crowd.

I hope hell be fine Min Qiu prayed.

* * * * *

Right in front of the entrance to Stairway to Heaven.

The one in charge of giving out talismans saw an ordinary-looking boy walk towards him.

Aiya, another stupid mortal Hes so young too

Young man, I suggest you turn around. Youre still too young to die He tried to warn him.

But the young boy in front of him smiled and said calmly.

Many thanks, your thoughts are enough. But I still wish to climb this staircase.

Haaaaa, fine, dont say I didnt warn you He gave up trying to persuade people after the 2nd day and handed him a talisman.

Thank you!

He watched the young boy walk towards the entrance and right when he was about to take a step onto the staircase, he closed his eyes and sighed.

But right when he opened his eyes, he was so shocked he can only stare blankly.

He didnt see a pile of meat like he thought he would. Hell, not even a shadow was there. Where the fuck did he go?!
