After climbing a hundred steps, there was a huge platform at the top. It was so big that a few Yue Clan castles could be placed there.
Further up, there was a small path.
On one side of the path was a lush forest, and on the other was a beautiful lake.
Other than the stone steps, there was no Law Seal on the platform. It was not much different from the ground. It should be a place for warriors to rest while climbing the stone steps.
"Let's rest for a while!" Of course, Yue Yang wouldn't feel tired after climbing a hundred steps, but when he saw that Yue Bing's face was already covered in sweat, he gently wiped her sweat with a little tenderness and patted her head to show his approval. Yue Bing had just broken through to Innate not long ago. Although she had experienced many battles, she was only Innate Level 5 now. Her main fighting style was an ambush type. Combined with her [Intense Poison] Inherent Skill and [Sealing Throat], she could often kill enemies that were far stronger than her. Warriors below Innate Level 8 would have a headache fighting against Yue Bing. However, this did not mean that Yue Bing's strength had already surpassed Innate Level 8. She only allowed her brother to unleash his full potential. For this sister with outstanding potential, Yue Yang was not in a hurry to let her level up quickly. Instead, he let Yue Bing take it slow and build a good foundation.
If it wasn't for the fact that Yue Bing's foundations were extremely good, it would really be difficult for her to climb up the hundred steps of the Divine Power Shackles in one go.
Now, in just a minute, Yue Bing and her brother climbed to the top of the hundred steps.
This was impossible for other Innates of the same level!
Furthermore, Yue Bing's body was carrying a weight that was several times heavier than her body.
The difficulty increased exponentially.
Golden Crown Thorny Flower Queen Duo Duo and the War God Guard Sisters, Red, Yi Ka, Hornless Dragon Jiang Ying, Raging Flame, Drunken Cat, Giant Loli, they did not stop and rushed up excitedly, competing with each other. Especially Duo Duo, Yao and Yu sisters, who were the first to set off, disappeared without a trace.
Impatiens brought her Charm Demon Queen and City Mistress Fallen Flowers brought her Snow Fox Girl. They waved at Yue Yang, indicating that they would wait for him in front.
In any case, he would catch up with them, so they could rest assured and leave first.
Aman stood protectively beside Yue Yu, but Yue Yu waved her hand, indicating that she could still hold on and didn't need his support. Although she had only walked a hundred steps, her sweat was like rain, drenching her underwear. Her chest heaved up and down slightly, and she couldn't help but pant lightly. It seemed that she was even more exhausted than Yue Bing. Yue Bing was the main fighter. She was much better than Yue Yu in terms of stamina and combat power. Her usual training intensity was also very high. Yue Yu was the support type. When her Angel's Blade couldn't fly, it was indeed a little hard to rely on her legs.
Sickly Beauty took out her drawing board excitedly when she saw the beautiful scenery of the lake. She wanted to draw a picture to commemorate this training while everyone was resting. She was more interested in playing than cultivating. As for her, Yue Yang only hoped that she was happy. The main focus of cultivation was still Dual Cultivation, to improve together. Sickly Beauty was not good at external cultivation.
Furthermore, even if she had so much time, she would only use it to study various Runic Circles.
She was not the main fighter, so she chose to support Yue Yang in a different way.
She and Yue Yu could be considered as Yue Yang's support.
Princess Sissi leaned against the tree root and sat cross-legged with her eyes closed. The Prison Emperor Divine Sword was placed on her knees as she entered the state of [One with the Sword] that Yue Yang requested.
She would never waste her cultivation time.
Xue Wuxia was reading a book.
Occasionally, she would look up at Yue Yang with her bright eyes under her long eyelashes.
At this time, Yue Yang brought Yue Bing and Yue Yu to the lakeside and tested the water: "It's so sweet, this water can be drunk, it's very cooling. I think it's not a problem to take a bath!"
"Don't worry about us, go up first, we will catch up to you!" Yue Yu blushed when she heard this and hurriedly urged Yue Yang to go.
"That's right, brother, you go up first, I will definitely catch up to brother!" Yue Bing raised her fist. Catching up to her brother had always been her goal. Not only in climbing the Heaven Stairway, but also in her daily cultivation. She would not slack off. Although she was not as talented as her brother, she would not give up. She would definitely not let her brother get further and further away from her!
"I will accompany them, don't worry. Ah Man can also stay with us." After Yi Nan had a taste of the lake water, she immediately took off her shoes and stepped into the cool lake water with fine sand as the bottom. She enjoyed this moment of comfort.
"Yes!" With Ah Man staying, Yue Yang was naturally at ease. However, he knew that if he did not come down and continued climbing upwards, Sister Yu and Bing Er would not be able to catch up to him. They would only fall further and further behind. With their strength, it would be difficult for them to reach 1,000 steps. He needed to reach 100,000 steps, they would not be able to come up. He smiled and gently stroked Yue Bing's soft hair on her forehead, tidied her slightly sweaty hair, and gave this stubborn sister a hug to give her the greatest encouragement: "Work hard, brother is just a little bit above you, you must do your best, I will be waiting for you up there!"
Yue Bing nodded vigorously.
Her face was full of determination.
On the contrary, Yue Yu was not willing to let Yue Yang hug her. She quickly moved away, and when she could not escape, she used her fists to hit him lightly: "I will try my best, don't rush me!"
Inan knew that once Yue Yang started to sprint, he would definitely climb more than 10,000 steps. He might not even be able to see his shadow, but she was not sad. Instead, she was happy for him! She took the initiative to open her arms and hugged him: "I will also work hard, wait for me!" She then bit his ear and whispered: "Why don't you come down at night secretly? I won't tell Sister Yu and Bing Er!"
Ah Man stayed behind to protect the three of them.
With her, the Goddess of War who had the Heart of Earth and Titan's strength, and never tired, around, Yue Yang was very relieved.
Furthermore, Yue Qiu's soul who was guarding the door would not let anyone in. Only those who could obtain his approval could enter the Heaven Stairway to cultivate.
Yue Yang decided to continue climbing the Heaven Stairway to challenge himself. When he made his decision, Xue Wuxia closed the Book of Truth. Princess Sissi also quickly stood up and put the Prison Emperor Divine Sword back on her back. Together with Xue Wuxia, they accompanied Yue Yang on his left and right and started to move forward.
Behind them was Little Wen Li who was following behind Yue Yang without making a sound.
Although she was a perfect person.
She still did not like to talk.
With the four people's strength, once they increased their speed, they would be as fast as lightning even if they were still on the stone steps, not to mention the platform that had no restrictions after a hundred steps.
Four shadows streaked across the winding path beside the lake and disappeared in an instant. When the shadows appeared again, Yue Bing and the others saw that Yue Yang and Xue Wuxia had already appeared on the stone steps of a slope a few kilometers away on the left. When they looked again after a minute, they could only look up. They could barely see the shadows of Yue Yang and Xue Wuxia flashing by on the stone steps ten kilometers away on the right. There, they were probably above a thousand steps …
"We need to work harder too!" Yue Bing retracted her gaze and decided to set off to chase after her brother.
"Be careful." Inan who had extremely sharp senses noticed that something seemed to be floating up from the lake.
Ah Man hurriedly stood in front of Yue Yu and Yue Bing to protect them.
On the clear surface of the lake, a transparent water monster floated up from the bottom of the lake.
As if the surface of the lake suddenly protruded, the gigantic water monster gradually floated up from the surface of the lake. It looked like a ball of water, but it was not a ball. Instead, it flowed irregularly and kept changing its shape. If one looked closely, they could vaguely see a blurry 'human figure'.
Sickly Beauty did not stop drawing. She only said lightly, "Water man. I've heard that there's a type of water man on Heaven Stairway. This kind of water man is not a beast. It's just a projection of the consciousness of the warriors of Heaven Stairway in the rivers and lakes. They are responsible for guarding the water source of Heaven Stairway. Normally, they would not attack living beings. If they attack, as long as they defeat them, they would also gain their recognition … Ah, that's right, they can never be killed. "
Before Sickly Beauty could finish her last sentence, Ah Man had already defeated the water monster.
With her strength, she could even kill a Heaven Ranked beast easily.
Not to mention a water man that only had the strength of a Lesser Innate.
However, it was just like how the sickly beauty had described it. The water man that had been defeated slowly recovered on the surface of the lake, and slid towards Yue Bing without any fear.
Other than the first water man that appeared on the surface of the lake, there were more than ten water men that appeared on the surface of the lake. All of them were moving towards Yue Bing.
"They can never be killed, how can that be considered as defeating them?" Yue Bing asked curiously as she prepared to face the enemies.
"Absolute power suppression, or some small tricks. There are many ways." Sickly Beauty smiled slightly.
She pointed the brush in her hand lightly.
Void drew a Heaven Rune pattern and imprinted it on the first water man that dashed towards him.
That water man immediately stopped. Its body instantly turned into mist and disappeared without a trace.
When it appeared again, it had already returned to the lake.
However, it did not attack anymore. It silently slid to the bottom of the lake and gradually disappeared, as if it had already acknowledged Sickly Beauty's existence.
Ah Man could not defeat the water man in one move, but Sickly Beauty could easily make it acknowledge her. This was the combination of wisdom and skills. Of course, there was also the power of Heaven Runes!
Yue Yu confirmed that she needed the water man's acknowledgement. She immediately summoned her grimoire and summoned the Platinum-ranked 'Frenzy Tide'. With a special skill, all the water men on the surface of the lake froze. Three seconds later, Yue Yu's strength had already gained the acknowledgement of the water men. They all sank down. However, the water men on the shore continued to attack Yue Bing, Inan and Ah Man.
"Return Mirror." Yi Nan pointed her finger lightly, and the water men surrounding her were all defeated by the rebounding force of the attack.
"Quake." Ah Man's method was different from Yue Yu's Frenzy Tide Beast and Inan's Mental Energy Field. She used brute force. She stomped on the ground. No matter if it was the water men that were sinking or the shore, they all turned into mist.
"I haven't fought yet!" Yue Bing was anxious. She did not want to not gain the acknowledgement of the water men.
She hurriedly ran along the lakeside, hoping to find the water men that had not been defeated.
After a long time, she finally found a water man that had just emerged from the bottom of the lake. She was overjoyed and hurried over. She did not forget her manners and bowed as if she was training with someone. However, she did not know that the water men were not living beings. They were just a projection of a Heaven Stairway Ranker's energy.
Yue Bing bowed to the water men in the Innate Ranker's etiquette and said happily, "I must gain their acknowledgement. Please advise me!"
When the water men attacked her with the momentum of the rain, she turned her body slightly and used her palms like butterflies. She used the Butterfly Palm, one of the close combat skills that Yue Yang had created for her. She gathered all the attacks into her palms and condensed them into a ball. He then used his hand to guide the entire water man into the air, turning it into a long water dragon that danced back and forth in the sky. Finally, he pointed to the sky and let his thoughts bring the water dragon straight up into the sky. When it reached its peak, it turned into raindrops and scattered on the surface of the lake.
When the water men condensed again, they had already acknowledged Yue Bing.
It sank slowly.
Yue Bing performed the Innate Ranker's etiquette again, "Thank you. If this is the first stage of the Heaven Stairway, then I will defeat all the water men on my way to catch up to my brother. I will gain the acknowledgement of all the seniors and not let my brother down."
Yue Yu, Inan and the others were annoyed and amused at the same time. This girl was too serious.
Actually, it was not a big deal if they did not get the acknowledgement of the water men at the lowest level.
These water men to be Innate Rankers were too weak. The real challenge would be the Heaven Stairway Martial Artists' Energy Projection!
Moreover, these water men did not have intelligence. They were not intelligent beings at all. They were only the Heaven Stairway Martial Artists' Energy Projection. In other words, they were just shadows that were in charge of protecting the water source. If Inan had not gone into the lake to wash her hands and feet, the water men would not have floated up from the bottom of the lake. Just when Yue Yu was about to call Yue Bing back, she saw another water man floating up from the bottom of the lake.
That was strange. Everyone had already been acknowledged. Why was there still a fight?
Could it be that Bing Er's powerful attack did not get acknowledged?
Yue Yu and Yi Nan were puzzled. Ah Man was ready to rush over to protect Yue Bing, and the sickly beauty was also a little curious as she put down her brush … What made them surprised was that the water man didn't attack them at all. It only stretched out its continuously flowing 'hand' and placed a beautiful big pearl in front of the stunned Yue Bing.
"What's going on?" Yue Bing could not help but reach out and take the beautiful pearl. However, she could not understand why. She turned around and looked at Sickly Beauty.
"Maybe for thousands of years, no one has ever been as polite as you, Bing Er. That's why you received the reward from the senior who left behind the water men. Hehe, I'm just guessing. Maybe you put in the most effort, so you received the highest acknowledgement and received the reward. No matter what, it's a good thing to receive a reward. Come, let me see what kind of pearl this is. It looks pretty good! "Sickly Beauty smiled and waved at Yue Bing.
"Ah, okay." Yue Bing hurriedly bowed to the sinking water man. "Thank you!"
When Yue Bing ran back, she handed over the beautiful pearl.
Sickly Beauty smiled and shook her head. She did not take it.
She reached out and gently stroked Yue Bing's head. "Good Bing Er, this is not an ordinary pearl. It's a pearl that will forever belong to you. It's a gift from that senior. It should be the 'Heavenly Pearl of Illusion', which is even more precious than the Meteor Fall Pearl. I can't see its specific function. I'm afraid only your brother knows! Bing Er, you can do it. For a hardworking child like you, the Heaven Stairway will be a blessing for you! "
Yue Bing looked at the Heavenly Pearl of Illusion in her hand in surprise. She looked up at the sky and thought of Yue Yang: Brother, Bing Er will work hard. Wait for me!
