C43 Forge ahead with courage and vigor

On the Grand Cloud Platform, everyone had their own circle. The small and middle-sized clans were all gathered together, and the six clans were all gathered together.

Hearing the discussion from the small families, the corner of Zi Bozhou's mouth rose slightly. Zi Luolin was his granddaughter that he was most proud of, so he entrusted all of his regrets and expectations onto Zi Luolin. Fortunately, Zi Luolin had also lived up to his expectations. He had always been the strongest warrior among the young generation, and was now the first among the Twelve Heaven's Pride.

"Boat, Luo Lin does not lose to you in any way." Li Shiqing also saw Zi Luolin's performance and acknowledged her strength wholeheartedly.

Zi Bozhou laughed and calmly accepted it.

Zi Bozhou was absolutely confident in Zi Luolin's strength. After taking a look, Zi Bozhou started to pay attention to the other geniuses who were participating in the Sky Stairway s. The first one he paid attention to, was Cheng Fei.

Cheng Fei wasted a bit of time on the first stage, and after that, all the opponents were killed in an instant, but he was still a little behind in terms of speed.

"Maybe it's because I'm not used to it." Zi Bozhou was, after all, only a Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage cultivator, so Zi Bozhou did not hope for him to be able to enter the top 100.

After seeing Cheng Fei climb a few steps consecutively, Zi Bozhou's gaze turned towards the other geniuses.

He could not possibly only focus on one or two people. In this session of Genius Competition, other than Cheng Fei, there were also a few good seedlings that caught the attention of the Zi family.

Because they were previously discussing Cheng Fei, the people from the other five families couldn't help but pay a little bit of attention to him.

"No matter how much of a genius you are, you are only a Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage cultivator after all."

"His strength is indeed not bad, but this time the Genius Competition is not fated with him."

"It's the wrong time!"

Seeing that Cheng Fei did not have any outstanding performance, and even lagging behind majority of the people, they all shook their heads in their hearts.

"Hmph, with this kind of strength, you're still wishful thinking about entering the top 100?" Hong Ruyun felt disdain in his heart, and a disdainful expression even appeared on his face, "I heard that this kid is a disciple of my Qing Xu Sect, and he even has ties with my Hong Family's disciple?"

Hong Ruyun stared at Cheng Fei with unfriendly eyes.

However, at this time, no one said a word, because the people from Heaven Stairway had already reached the first level and the tenth level.

The will to fight on the first nine steps of the Heaven Stairway was only equivalent to the power of the Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage. But from the tenth step onwards, the strength of his battle will was equivalent to a level eight Foundation Establishment. Most of the geniuses in Sky Stairway were in this realm. The rest had not even reached this level yet.

The truth was as everyone on the high cloud deck had expected. After reaching the tenth step, the majority of the geniuses had clearly slowed down. Amongst them, there were a considerable number of level 8 Foundation Establishment geniuses and four Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage geniuses.

However, there were also those whose speed did not decrease at all. For example, Zi Luolin, Li Taixuan and the other close to a thousand people. Among them, there was Cheng Fei.

However, he'd fallen at the end of this group of people and hadn't been noticed for a moment.

The twelfth step of the Heaven Stairway.

Yet another embodiment of fighting will appeared in front of Cheng Fei.

"Twelfth step, Purple Xuan Wu!"

Within a vast expanse of space, an armored soldier stood there with a blade in his hand.

"We ran into him again!" Cheng Fei's face revealed a trace of astonishment. Clearly, he did not expect to once again encounter Purple Xuan Wu on the twelfth step. All the opponents he met on the first eleven steps were different, so his power was slowly increasing.

"The twelfth step, this Purple Xuan Wu must be a lot stronger than the first step!" Cheng Fei thought.

"Profound Mysteries of the Earth Elemental — Sky Bearing Mysterious Martial Art!"

An earthen yellow Sky Bearing Black Tortoise appeared in the sky. Waves of formless ripples spread out in all directions from the center of the Black Tortoise. In an instant, an incomparably oppressive feeling fell on Cheng Fei's body.

Indeed.

The moment Purple Xuan Wu struck, Cheng Fei immediately felt it.

Foundation Establishment level 8!

But this time, Cheng Fei had no intention to test him.

"Wood Qi — — Vine Giant Hand!"

It was still the "Wood Corroding Earth" skill, which Cheng Fei used with his huge vine hand.

Cultivators who were proficient in Five Elements of True Qi would undoubtedly have an extremely obvious advantage over cultivators who only knew the single Five Elements of True Qi. At the same level of cultivation, the opposing attributes meant that one had to be firmly suppressed.

The willpower he had encountered on the first eleven steps of the Heaven Stairway were all of one of the five elements, so Cheng Fei could easily overcome them with just the five elements.

This time, Cheng Fei used the Vine Giant Hand with enough power.

The giant vine hand clawed at Purple Xuan Wu's Mighty Heavenly Profound Wu, then clawed at Purple Xuan Wu's Mo Dao and the Earth Element Shield in front of him. Then, it clawed at Purple Xuan Wu to pieces.

Although his Purple Xuan Wu had reached Foundation Establishment level 8, she was still not a match for Cheng Fei!

The difference in strength between the eight levels of Foundation Establishment was even greater than that between the first level of Foundation Establishment and Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage, and was only second to that between the two levels of Zhu Ji Ninth Level.

However, there were no clear criteria to divide this gap, so it was generally classified in the same order. Of course, in the Da Xuan City, the difference in power levels between the Foundation Establishment Stage Level 8 and Level 8, they would usually divide it up using the Heaven Stairway. It was just that because most of the level eight Foundation Establishment cultivators could not frequently go to the Heaven Stairway to test their strength, it was only a rough estimate.

"The fighting will of each step on the Heaven Stairway is stronger than the one before it. "From the tenth step onwards, the will to fight has already reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. I wonder how strong the will to fight after the ninetieth step and the one hundredth step will be?" Cheng Fei was secretly shocked.

However, even though he was shocked, his men didn't slow down in the slightest.

"Heaven Stairway, 13th step, passed!"

"The fourteenth step of the Sky Stairway, passed!"

"Heaven Stairway, 15th step passed!"

The path was smooth and they arrived at the 30th step. Cheng Fei's speed had already surpassed many people, and his ranking once again jumped.

At this moment, someone in the Cloud Viewing Platform finally noticed Cheng Fei, whose rank was constantly rising.

"Isn't that one of the five Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage Geniuses?"

One of the patriarchs of a small family pointed at Cheng Fei's figure, and said in surprise.

Hearing this person's words, the people from the family that were close to him unconsciously looked in the direction of his finger.

Indeed!

Cheng Fei had already reached the thirtieth step of the Heaven Stairway, and was ranked around the top five hundred or so among the geniuses.

"Oh my god, the cultivation level of the Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage, it actually managed to squeeze into the top five hundred, it's really too unexpected!"

"The other four Seventh Level of Zhu Ji Stage geniuses are still at the back of the team. The gap between them is too huge!"

"We must recruit him into our family. Once he breaks through to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he will definitely be an expert above the Seventh step of the Heaven Stairway!"

"You want to recruit Cheng Fei into the clan? "Don't even think about it. The Zi family already sent out their invitation, and from the looks of the current situation, the other five great families may have been tempted as well."

The people from the small and middle-sized families began to clamor.

The six great clans, who were originally paying attention to the top three hundred rankings of the Heaven Stairway, were stunned when they heard the voices from the smaller clans.

They all looked towards the position of the top five hundred or so.

"It really is Cheng Fei." Li Shiqing said in surprise when he saw Cheng Fei's figure.

Even he did not expect Cheng Fei to occupy such a good ranking.
