C27 Stairway to Heaven
Ye Feng ran towards the bluestone steps with all his might, but as he ran, he discovered that the bluestone steps under his feet were actually slowly descending.
Yes, it was descending. The steps were descending towards the foot of the mountain.
"What the hell!"
Ye Feng cursed, and then he couldn't help but increase his speed.
At this moment, Zhang Muyuan, who was sitting on the main platform in contest field, slowly opened his eyes and smiled. "Interesting!"
"What's the matter?"
Du Changqi turned his head and gave Zhang Muyuan a glance.
Zhang Muyuan stretched out his hand and set up a simple illusion barrier around the two of them. It made the surrounding people think that the two of them were sitting there quietly, and they couldn't see what they were doing.
"Look!"
After setting up the illusion barrier, Zhang Muyuan stretched out his hand and drew a circle in front of him. Then, the surrounding water vapor started to gather in front of him. Finally, it formed a water curtain. Within the water curtain... Du Changqi saw Ye Feng running on the bluestone steps.
A trace of surprise appeared on Du Changqi's face, and he said, "This kid has actually touched the Stairway to Heaven!"
This bluestone steps was a magic treasure that was essential to the various academies under the command of Chaos Divine Sect. This magic treasure was able to automatically sense the chaotic Profound Qi within the participants' bodies. Only when the purity of the chaotic Profound Qi in the participant's body had reached a certain level could the stairway be activated.
Out of ten thousand people who cultivated the Chaos Heavenly Book, only two or three of them were geniuses like this.
Once such a genius appeared, those Yellow Rank institutions would immediately accept him.
"I never thought that we would encounter such a genius!" Zhang Muyuan smiled faintly and said, "It's very likely that he's the person we're looking for!"
"Yes!"
Du Changqi nodded and said, "I don't know what state he can activate the Stairway to Heaven to!"
The Stairway to Heaven was a very special magical equipment. It would automatically adjust the speed according to the condition of the participant's body. There were a total of seven states.
The first state instantly reversed one meter;
The second state could be reversed by ten meters in an instant;
In the third state, one hundred meters in the blink of an eye;
The speed of moving a hundred meters backward in an instant was already the limit of the Yellow Rank Stairway.
In the fourth stage after a hundred meters, some mucus would appear on the stone steps of the Stairway to Heaven. This mucus would cause the contestants' feet to slip.
In the fifth state, some stone balls would roll down from the top of the Stairway to Heaven. These stone balls were only ten centimeters in diameter.
The sixth state was still a stone ball. However, the diameter of this stone ball had become thirty centimeters, and the density would be even greater. Occasionally, there would be some burning stone balls.
The seventh state, which was also the ultimate state, the ultimate state, the stairway to the Stairway to Heaven, would have a higher temperature. Stepping on it would be like stepping on the burning red stone board.
Furthermore, there would occasionally be some spikes on the Stairway to Heaven. To pierce through the soles of the contestants' feet, this wasn't considered abnormal. The most abnormal thing was that there were also some extremely toxic poison on the stone steps. If one wasn't careful and was infected with the deadly poison, they would die from the poison.
Behind them, there would be strong winds and illusions. In the end, the heavenly staircase would self-destruct, and cracks would appear on the steps of the heavenly staircase. When the contestants stepped on it, the stone steps would shatter. And the participant's body would fall into a bottomless abyss.
The person who designed this Stairway to Heaven was simply a freak.
However, those dangers above were not unsolvable. The designer of the Stairway to Heaven... When the Stairway to Heaven was activated to the ultimate state of the seventh level, some tools would appear beside the Stairway to Heaven. Participants could use these tools to overcome the difficulties they faced.
Since the establishment of the Chaos Divine Sect, the Stairway to Heaven was only activated to the sixth level at most.
Generally speaking, those who could activate the Stairway to Heaven to the fourth level were the geniuses amongst geniuses.
At this moment, Ye Feng didn't know that he had already activated an abnormal magic treasure. He was still running towards the top of the Stairway to Heaven with all his might.
At the beginning, the bluestone stairs under Ye Feng's feet were still carved on the mountain. However, after running for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he discovered that the stone steps under his feet had turned into pieces of stone. These pieces of stone were floating in the void just like that.
"Damn, what kind of damn stairs are these?"
Ye Feng cursed in his heart, but he still didn't dare to relax. He kept rushing upwards with all his might.
While Zhang Muyuan and Du Changqi were talking, Ye Feng had already activated the third flight of stairs.
"Haha, the third level, the third level!"
Zhang Muyuan and Du Changqi's faces were filled with excitement. In their eyes, it was already very impressive that Ye Feng could activate the second state. However, they never thought that Ye Feng would be able to activate the second state in such a short period of time. He had activated the third state.
Because of Ye Feng's appearance, Zhang Muyuan and Du Changqi ignored the other competitors. Both of them were paying attention to Ye Feng.
"It seems like the time has come. Why hasn't the competition started yet?"
"Yeah, it has been more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"
On the contest field of the Profound Sound Mountain, many people who were participating in the competition were discussing amongst themselves.
"Palace Chief, what should we do now?"
The old man standing behind Zhang Muyuan of the Kongtong couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Muyuan's eyes slowly swept across the participants, then he said, "Continue to wait!"
In Zhang Muyuan's eyes, compared to Ye Feng, the other participants were trash. Nothing!
" Oh!"
That old man nodded his head and no longer spoke.
Time passed minute by minute. In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
"F * ck! What's going on? Why hasn't it started yet? Is the Kongtong toying with us?"
"Yeah, it's been more than an hour!"
On the contest field, many people were in an uproar.
Du Changqi, the Deputy Prefecture Master beside Zhang Muyuan, swept across those people with his fiery eyes. After that, he stood up and waved his hand at the contest field.
"Hualala!"
A large amount of purple raindrops appeared in the sky. The raindrops were very fast, and they shot towards the people in the middle of the contest field. Those people wanted to dodge, but found that they couldn't.
"Swish! Swish!"
The purple raindrops were all dripping onto the people's foreheads, leaving behind a purple mark.
"Hehe, Old Qi, your technique, the Heaven Spreading Flying Feather, is becoming more and more proficient!"
Zhang Muyuan smiled at Du Changqi.
"Haha, don't make fun of me. I am nothing in front of your Cage of Painting!"
Du Changqi smiled faintly and faced contest field.
Those who were hit by the purple raindrops were using their hands to wipe away the purple mark between their eyebrows. However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't wipe away the purple mark.
"All those who have the purple mark between their eyebrows, come out!"
Du Changqi said loudly to those participating disciples.
Although those disciples did not know why the other party wanted them to do this, they still quickly walked out. There were more than twenty of them.
"You can go back now!"
Du Changqi said indifferently to those people.
"What? Go back? We are here to participate in the test. The test hasn't started yet, why should we go back!? "
The contestants said angrily to Du Changqi.
" Hmph, the moment you stepped onto the bluestone steps... The test had already begun! The reason why we delayed for so long was to test your patience. However, the result disappointed us. It was only the second round. So many pieces of trash have appeared! "
Du Changqi said to those people with a cold expression, "The Chaos Heavenly Book is a very special cultivation technique. Only those who possess extraordinary endurance and tenacity can use it. Talent! You will walk further down this path. You people... Anxiety. Such a personality is not suitable for cultivating the Chaos Heavenly Book!"
After saying that, Du Changqi waved his hand, and immediately, a guard walked over and took those people away.
The remaining people secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they did not make a fuss just now.
After sending off a group of people, those people immediately became disciplined. Even though time was still dragging on, no one dared to complain.
Another hour passed.
Du Changqi cried out in excitement, "The fourth stage!"
In their Kongtong Academy, there had never been anyone who had activated the fourth stage of the Stairway to Heaven.
...
