Chapter 10: Dark Horse
On top of the 7th Level, two shadows can be seen crawling on the stairs.
The one in the lead was Mei Mingzhu, and only two steps behind her were Wang Shui.
Junior Sister Mingzhu, youre almost there! Just five more steps!
Wang Shui had his whole body drenched in sweat; his face was pale.
Yes!
Mei Mingzhu was not any better; her drenched clothing revealed her excellent body shape.
Although it was only five steps until the 8th Level, each step was like crossing the sea by swimming, while the next one was an even bigger sea.
Everybody was paying attention to these two and ignored the lower Levels.
Theyre almost there! There are only five steps left for Fairy Mingzhu!
What do you even know? These five steps are even harder to reach than the past Levels added together
There are only a few hours left, do you think theyll make it?
What are you thinking, of course, they will.
Im not so sure about Wang Shui, but Fairy Mingzhu will be able to.
All the people watching were chitchatting nonstop about these two on the top until
Someone screamed with a shocked voice, Hey! Look at that! He pointed to a shadow that was currently flying towards the 5th Level.
What! Whos that?!
Whats with that speed?!
Hes Every step he takes, he goes up by 100 steps
Ahhhh! He just leaped 500 steps! Is he even human?!Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
Oi! How can you even call this climbing? Hes fucking flying already!
"Who the hell is this dark horse?!"
The spectators were shocked silly. What does it mean to skip steps?
Each step will increase the pressure on you. If you skip one step, that means youll have to endure both steps pressure at once. Geniuses only did this at the lower Levels where the pressure was nothing to them, but who the hell is willing to do it after the 2nd Level? Thats just wasting their strength, which means theyll have less chance reaching the higher floors. Even Mei Mingzhu and Wang Shui could only skip steps until the 3rd Level.
But thats not even what scares them. The scary part is the fact that even if geniuses skip steps, they can only skip around 5 to 10 steps. But this ghost over here was jumping well over 100 and at the 4th Level too!
My Heavens! Hes still skipping steps on the 5th Level! And its increasing not decreasing!
Can someone slap my face to see if Im dreaming or not?! Someone asked.
*Slap!*
Fuck! That freaking hurts! I said slap but not that hard! He regretted it.
Ahhhh, hes already on the 6th Level!
* * * * *
In the sky, the three Sect Master were sitting down and drinking tea, ignoring what was happening at the Stairway to Heaven already.
Old Jian, when are you going to breakthrough to the Sovereign Realm? You have been a Peak Ancient Immortal for ages already. Zou Guo made fun of him.
If its so easy to breakthrough, then why dont you do it huh? Oh right, you just became an Ancient Immortal He sneered.
Zou Guo coughed, Ahem, Sister Ruogang, youre already so old, when are you going to get married?
He changed the topic instantly
Hmph, is it your business if I marry or not? She hated it when people mention her age and relationships.
When she was young, all she did was focus on Cultivation and ignored any relationships.
But now that shes old, despite her young looks, nobody dares to court her
Sister Ruogang, if nobody is willing to accept you, my arms are wide open Zou Guo said half seriously.
Hmph, you horny old bone already have ten wives, yet you still want more? She sneered in disgust.
Cao Jians ears twitched and said, Hey, isnt it terribly loud down there?
Ah, probably one of these two have already stepped on the 8th Level.
Lets go see who it is.
Then they activated their Divine Sense and looked at the Stairway to Heaven.
But when they did, all three of them stood up simultaneously, and tea glitters down the sky.
I-impossible!
W-whos that?
M-monster
The three of them were so shocked that they almost forgot who their own mother was.
* * * * *
At the top of the 7th Floor, Mei Mingzhu and Wang Shui are currently inhaling deep breaths and prepared to step onto the 8th Level.
J-junior Sister Mingzhu, were finally here! Just one more step!
Both of them had logical reasons. Zou Guo had no monster in his sect, and Xuan Ruogang had Mei Mingzhu as an excuse for having him.
He bit his lips and threw away his shame. If he can get a disciple like that, he wouldnt mind offending the other three!
Hold! Church of the Qilin God also has no monster now that Long Huo died! And my Sect has the most powerful Cultivation Techniques out of all four of us, so its reasonable that we should have him and allow him to grow to his fullest!
Shameless! You have already had Wang Shui, yet you want another one?! Zou Guo was angry now. He only wanted one, yet this bastard wanted two?!
Pei! What is Wang Shui compared to him?! Look! Hes already at the 9th Level now!! Cao Jian was also hell bent on having him.
Hmph, I dont care as long as he has a baby with my Mei Mingzhu!
* * * * *
Tian Yi was now at the top of the 9th Level. He stopped at 20 steps before the peak of Stairway to Heaven.
He smiled and took one step at a time, in a slow and relaxing manner.
* * * * *
The entire audience became silent and watched with wide eyes, afraid to even miss a second of this grand scene.
After ten million years! Finally, someone else besides the Legendary Tian Qiang has stepped onto the peak of Stairway to Heaven!
This was a sight that might not appear ever again, so who would want to miss it?
Min Li looked at the tiny dot in the sky.
Although she could not see the person, she knew it was her Big Brother Shu.
Big Brother Shu. Her eyes glittered like never before. This was like witnessing her hero ascending to Heaven.
Her parents were so shocked they didnt know what to say or think.
The random boy they met was actually a monster with talents similar to the legendary Tian Qiang?
Will he also become the first one in ten million years to step onto the peak of Stairway to Heaven?
They were so close to a monster like that and not even know?
Wang Baos father, Wang Bing sighed, Haaiii, looks like I have to get my son a new fiancee
Shang Guang stared at that figure, Oh my dear wife, my Min Li is really close to him right? Thats not the wrong person right?
. I think so Min Qiu also doubted that now.
Of course I am super close to Big Brother Shu! Min Li boasted when she heard her parents doubt her relationship with her Big Brother Shu.
Ha... Haha Hahahahah!
Shang Guang laughed like an idiot. His daughter sure gave him a huge surprise! Now he can go around flaunting his pride, saying that boy and his daughter were like two peas in a pod. Who would dare to mess with him now?!
Min Qiu looked at him with a weird face
Lao Bai stood there with his hands on his hips, heads high and an expression that says, Yup! Thats right; Im his servant! Bite me!
* * * * *
Tian Yi was now only a few steps away from the peak.
Each of his steps was slow and elegant, yet had a domineering aura as if an Emperor was walking to his throne.
*Bang*
The moment he stepped onto the peak of Stairway to Heaven, an illusion started to come to life.
In front of him were millions of life like Immortals, kowtowing to an unclear figure sitting on a throne as if they were acknowledging him as their Emperor.
Angel like beings with wings was dancing around, blowing into a Heavenly Horn, making Heavenly music resound throughout the entire Immortal Realm.
Next, a Heavenly Staircase appeared, leading directly to a Celestial Palace.
In the middle of the Celestial Palace, was a throne. And sitting on the throne was now an unbelievably handsome young man, so handsome all the female spectators watching him felt their face turning bright red and heavily panting. Even Xuan Ruogang was no exception!
Some males even turned homosexual after seeing him!
This young man was an illusion of Tian Yis real face. But only Min Li knew that.
.
Tian Yi was speechless. He wanted a surprise, but not this shit! This is basically telling the whole world who he really was.
Ill have to leave here as soon as possible Or else itll be too late He sighed.
But first. He looked at the direction where Min Li was at.
Smiling, he took a step forward and disappeared from the Peak of Stairway to Heaven.
* * * * *
The lifelike illusion disappeared after another minute, and everybody came back to their sense.
But when they looked at the peak of Stairway to Heaven, the figure had disappeared!
Eh?! Where did he go!
No way! I can't find him either!
The entire crowd went wild after his disappearance.
