C30

On top of the stone table, Cang Yun slowly opened his eyes. After he felt the condensed power coming from within his body, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up into a satisfied expression.

In the next moment, as he looked at the beautiful figure that was meticulously protecting him from the side, warmth surged in Cang Yun's heart as he said with a gentle smile: "You've worked hard.

Zhou Xian'er smiled sweetly, signalling that she didn't mind. She nodded, and when Cang Yun started to cultivate, Zhou Hua and the others had already ascended the second stage of the stone stairs.

As he stepped onto the 34th level, an enormous pressure hit him.

When his body stabilized, his face revealed a serious look. The pressure on this floor was unexpectedly great, and roughly estimated that compared to the previous floor, it had increased by more than twofold.

However, because they had solidified their cultivation, they were able to resist the pressure. After looking at Zhou Xian'er and nodding their heads, the two of them started to head up the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, four hours passed.

On the 64th floor's stone stairs, Cang Yun slightly stopped, a hint of exhaustion appeared on his delicate and pretty face. At this point, he also felt a great deal of pressure, even though his source power was different from normal people, his cultivation was still a bit low, and consuming too many source power would inevitably cause his body to feel weak.

And at this time, the four most outstanding geniuses of the Zhou Family, including Zhou Xian'er, had all walked to the second stage. Compared to the four of them, the difference in his current strength was indeed not small.

However, there were only two stone steps left. The second stage of the trial could be completed.

Thus, after a low growl, the source power in Cang Yun's body frantically surged towards the bottom of his feet. A strong feeling of strength was involuntarily born, and with a sudden stomp of his feet, he borrowed this power to directly leap past the last two floors of the stone stairs.

Phew...

Upon reaching the top of the stone table, Cang Yun gasped for breath tiredly. There was already no pressure on the stone table, but because its mind had relaxed, the lack of strength was even more distinct. Looking at Zhou Xian'er and the rest, they were also currently meditating with their eyes closed.

In the next moment, Cang Yun caught the ball of light that appeared in his hand, and a trace of a joyous smile finally appeared on his exhausted face. From the start to the end, the rewards of each level had never disappointed him.

"Origin Replenishing Pill."

This kind of Pills could quickly replenish the energy consumed by warriors. It was extremely useful in battle and was very valuable.

After putting away the Pills, Cang Yun sat cross-legged and began to meditate to recover his source power. Although he had the Origin Replenishing Pill to help him quickly recover, using it now was obviously an extremely wasteful performance. No one would be stupid enough to do such a stupid thing.

Roughly an hour later.

The five people on the stone table opened their eyes one after another. At this time, they had already passed the fifth stage of the nine trials, and the gap between the trial challengers was completely revealed.

On the stone stairs of the fifth trial, only two Zhou Family s were still persisting, but after such a long time, the two of them had finally reached the middle position. Furthermore, looking at their expressions, they seemed to have reached their limit, so it was obvious that they had no hope of completing the fifth trial.

"Now it's time for the real contest between us. But from the looks of it, you seem to be reaching your limit, right?" At this time, the somewhat feminine Zhou Hua slowly walked over, and said with a cold smile: "No matter how strong your spirit energy is, there's a full two realms between you and me, so I can crush you to death. Therefore, I've decided to win this bet!"

He had always been paying attention to Cang Yun, and even though he had noticed that the source power was a little strange and did not seem to be suppressed by the pressure from the stone stairs, he did not believe that a person with the first stage of the Secret Treasure Trove could surpass him.

"I'll give you a choice. If you admit defeat right now, I can promise you that I won't spread the news of this gambling house. That way, you can also save some face in front of someone. What do you think?" Zhou Hua had a smile on his face that said that victory was in his grasp, and when he mentioned a certain someone, his eyes deliberately glanced at Zhou Xian'er behind him.

Of course, Zhou Hua's true thoughts were not as kind as what he said. As long as Cang Yun admitted defeat, he would not hesitate to brazenly brag about it, because even though he wanted to win, he wanted to see Cang Yun in a miserable state where he had lost all face.

However, it was impossible for him to voluntarily admit defeat, so he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry. I don't need anyone to give me face.

The calm tone instantly darkened Zhou Hua's face.

"Fine, you don't want the chance to choose. When the time comes, don't blame me for trampling you too hard!" A sinister look flashed across Zhou Hua's eyes. After speaking, he swept Cang Yun with his sleeve and left.

And this kind of conversation, which was a little intense, naturally attracted the attention of Zhou Jun and the others who were not far away. Under his questioning gaze, Zhou Hua walked over, and after he briefly explained the situation regarding the gambling house, a cold sneer appeared in Zhou Jun's eyes upon hearing it.

"Big Brother Cang Yun, what's wrong?" Zhou Xian'er walked over to Cang Yun's side and saw the gloomy and cold smiles on both of their faces, and asked worriedly.

Hearing this, Cang Yun laughed rather indifferently: "I'm fine, that guy made a bet with me before."

"Bet? "Then, are you confident?" The worry in Zhou Xian'er's beautiful eyes became even stronger, and she understood Zhou Hua very well. Not only was Zhou Hua's talent not weak, his strength had also reached the third secret treasure, and he was definitely not a simple character.

"Do your best." Cang Yun shrugged his shoulders, he really did not have absolute confidence in winning, after all, the difference in cultivation level was not small, but he was not a docile sheep, and stepping on him was not an easy matter.

"Then... "Fine." Zhou Xian'er nodded her head helplessly. She knew very well that although the youth beside her did not seem to care about many things, there was an extremely deep unyielding stubbornness hidden within his bones. It was definitely impossible for him to give up on this gamble, so rather than wasting his efforts, it was better to support them.
