Ever since the completion of the Heaven Stairway, those who have passed the sixtieth step and past the eightieth step and above are guaranteed to enter the Top 100, but in the past tens of thousands of years, there have only been a few who have passed the ninetieth step and only ten people have passed the hundredth step. Nine of them have reached the ninth stage of the cavity deficiency, while the remaining one has fallen in the middle.
Cheng Fei stood in the middle of the eighteen thousand people, and as he thought back to what Cheng Xianer had said, he felt that the Heaven Stairway was indeed something he was somewhat looking forward to.
The eighteen thousand people who participated in the Sky Stairway were led by the soldiers of the Da Xuan City to the entrance of the small world of Heaven Stairway — the Great Hall of Heaven Stairway!
This was a majestic hall that was located in the Da Xuan City. After passing through the entrance of the hall, one would appear in the small world.
Cheng Fei followed the guidance provided by the Da Xuan City soldier and the others, and they passed through the door of the great hall. Cheng Fei only felt his vision darken before instantly regaining its former brightness as a glorious Heaven Stairway appeared in front of him, and eighteen thousand people appeared at the same time at the foot of the Heaven Stairway.
The Sky Stairway pierced through the clouds like a heavenly pagoda, one couldn't see the end of it. The lowest end of the Sky Stairway was the widest, looking from both sides, it stretched far away.
"Is this the Heaven Stairway? It's truly spectacular! "
"Level 108 Heaven Stairway. The six great clans of Da Xuan City have sent out their experts of the Nascent Soul and cavity deficiency to create it.
As long as I climb to the 60th step, I can enter the third stage of Genius Competition.
The small world of Heaven Stairway opened once every fifty years, and every one of the eighteen thousand people who saw the Heaven Stairway for the first time began to discuss among themselves. Even if they were geniuses, they couldn't help it at this moment.
The Heaven Stairway was considered a super treasure in the Da Xuan City, so of course it was shocking.
"Prepare to enter the Heaven Stairway!"
Some soldiers shouted loudly, and everyone immediately quieted down.
Not long after he finished speaking, Cheng Fei felt the ground beneath his feet suddenly shake a little, and then, after a series of spinning, it disappeared from the ground.
Above the small world of Heaven Stairway, there was actually a spectator's grandstand built on top of the clouds.
At this moment, there were many people sitting on the Cloud Pedestal. They were talking among themselves and would occasionally look down at the Heaven Stairway. If there were any citizens of the Da Xuan City here, they would definitely be scared to death, because the dozens of people here were actually the higher-ups of the six great clans of the Da Xuan City and some of the smaller clans.
Six of them were the leaders.
Li Family Army Commander — Li Shiqing.
The commander of the Wang family's military department — Wang Liangshui.
The commander of Ji Family's army — Ji Lianyun.
The commander of Hong Family's army — Hong Ruyun.
The commander of the Zi family's military — — Zi Bozhou.
The commander of the Feng Family — Feng Anren.
These six people were the actual figures in charge of the military within the six families, an existence that would cause the entire Da Xuan City to tremble with each stomp of their feet.
Other than them, there were only the middle and small family heads left in the Da Xuan City. They were either the commanders of the military, or the Patriarchs of the clans. In short, they were all top-notch figures in their clans.
The reason why these people were gathered on the small world of Heaven Stairway's Cloud Arena was naturally for the eighteen thousand people on the Heaven Stairway. It was not exaggerated to say that the eighteen thousand people who entered the Heaven Stairway were the peak characters of Da Xuan City for the next fifty to a hundred years.
Although the most elite of these eighteen thousand would be recruited by the six great clans, the rest would still be enough to satisfy the smaller clans.
"Hong Ruyun, how is your brother's recovery? Has his broken arm grown back yet?" The commander of the Zi family's military, Zi Bozhou, smiled as he looked at Hong Ruyun and intentionally asked.
Hong Ruyun was the younger brother of the Patriarch of the Hong Family, Hong Rufeng. A few days ago, his arm had been cut off by the Third Master of the Ji Family.
Hong Ruyun's face changed, he suddenly slapped the chair's armrest, and hatefully said: "Zi Bozhou, what is the meaning of this!"
"It's nothing. I'm just concerned about your family head, why are you so excited?" As the Seventh Elder of the Zi family and the leader of the military, Zi Bozhou's actions had always been based on his intentions.
Seeing the two of them arguing, Ji Lianyun spoke up from the side: "Boat, it's better not to salt the wound. I'm worried that he would vent his anger on me later."
These words weren't meant to persuade him, but to add fuel to the fire. Ji Lianyun was the only female out of the six, and the Third Master of the Ji Family who cut off Hong Rufeng's arm was his third brother. The moment she opened his mouth, Hong Ruyun's expression became even uglier.
"Alright, alright. Boat, Lian Yun, speak less. Old Hong, don't be angry." Amongst the six people, Li Shiqing, the oldest and most popular person, stopped the three.
Li Shiqing said, the three of them did not want to give him face, so they went silent.
Actually, Zi Bozhou was not without reason when it came to targeting Hong Ruyun. Other than the relationship between the Zi family and the Ji Family, Zi Bozhou himself also had grudges with the latter.
When Zi Bozhou was young, he fell in love with a female member of the same generation as him, Bai Ruyu. The two of them had been dating privately for a long time. Coincidentally, he just so happened to be in time with the jungle dungeon in that tournament. Zi Bozhou was extremely talented, and once he got a spot, he would be going in the future.
Before leaving, Zi Bozhou made an agreement with Bai Ruyu to ask for marriage when Zi Bozhou returned.
Half a year later, Zi Bozhou returned from the Upper Sky, and happily entered the Da Xuan City. However, before Bai Ruyu could see him, she heard a grievous news — — Bai Ruyu had been married to a royal prince of a common country by the Hong Family.
Zi Bozhou was heartbroken. After the Hong Family crashed into a wall, he went to a neighbouring country alone and was seriously injured by an assassin. Although he had been lucky enough to keep his life, his foundation had been damaged.
He was originally a heaven warping talent with exceptional talent who had hopes of entering the cavity deficiency, but in an instant, he became a trash who had no hope of breaking through to the Zhu Ji Ninth Level in his lifetime.
His lover's betrayal, his future was bleak, and the double blow had caused Zi Bozhou's hair to turn white overnight. Fortunately, Zi Bozhou did not give up on himself. After recuperating from his injuries, he actively participated in the clan's affairs and even married a woman from a middle-class clan.
An entire hundred years had passed, and Zi Bozhou was now the commander of the Zi family's military. Only, Zi Bozhou's resentment towards the Hong Family had still not dispersed. When he met the people from the Hong Family, his expression had never been good.
Everyone present understood that Zi Bozhou had stirred up quite a commotion back then, so they did not say much about him.
"There are quite a few geniuses in this year's batch. Everyone, you can all share your opinions." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wang Liangshui immediately changed the topic.
Other people also understood Wang Liangshui's thoughts, Feng Anren was the first to speak, "Other than the Da Xuan City's Twelve Heaven's Pride, I think he should belong to the one who entered the Heaven Stairway, the five Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage s."
Since the power of the twelve heaven's pride level experts was publicly acknowledged by the cultivators of Da Xuan City, there was no need to discuss further. Wang Liangshui's intention was to get rid of the other twelve heaven's pride experts.
