Looking down from the sky, the three thousand islands that were gathered together were like cobblestones. As for the largest island in the center, the 'floating island,' it was a pearl among the thousands of cobblestones.
A resplendent light shone out from the center of the floating island.
After landing on the floating island and seeing the Mountain Sea Palace in the distance, Qin Yu's eyes started to shine. He gasped in admiration. "As expected of the temporary residence of the Three Great Exalted Celestials. Although it cannot be considered luxurious, its grandeur is something that even the Sage Emperor's Palace cannot compare to."
The Mountain Sea Palace was nearly ten meters taller than the floating island.
It was all because of the stairs.
At a glance, one could see that the simple and unadorned stairs continued upward, all the way to the main hall of the Mountain Sea Palace. On top of the stairs, in the open space before the main hall, there was a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman. They were slowly sweeping the ground.
"Brother Qin Yu, in terms of grandeur, this Mountain Sea Palace is a palace that was personally refined by the Three Great Exalted Celestials. How could its grandeur be weak? Do you see those stairs? "Duanmu Yu lightly smiled as he extended his slender finger and pointed to the distant stairs.
What was so special about those stairs?
Qin Yu carefully inspected the stairs. There were a total of ninety-nine flights of stairs. Each flight of stairs was a simple and unadorned brownish-black color. Images of grass, wood and other things were carved onto the surface of the stairs.
The more he looked, the more Qin Yu felt that those stairs were special. However, Qin Yu was unable to discover the secret of those stairs.
Seeing Qin Yu's frowning and pondering expression, Duanmu Yu said with a smile. "Brother Qin Yu, those stairs are the legendary Mountain Sea Palace's' Heaven Connecting Flight of Steps. '"
"Heaven Connecting Flight of Steps? Why are those stairs called Heaven Connecting Flight of Steps? "Qin Yu asked in confusion.
Although Qin Yu had been in the Divine Realm for a period of time, he had spent the majority of his time training. Thus, he only knew some general things about the Divine Realm. As for some of the more detailed secrets, Qin Yu did not know about them.
Duanmu Yu said with a smile. "The Utmost North Sage Emperor told us to move the Exalted Celestials with our sincerity. How do we move them? I can only think of one way, and that is to make use of the Heaven Ascending Steps. "
Qin Yu had always wondered how to move the Celestial Venerables.
And now, after hearing what Duanmu Yu said, he asked, "Borrow the power of the Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps? How?"
"I know of a legend. According to the legend, as long as one is not a Godking, one is able to ascend the ninety-nine steps of the Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps, then … the Exalted Celestial will definitely appear to meet that person." Duanmu Yu revealed the mystery.
Qin Yu looked at the ancient stairs in the distance in surprise.
The flight of stairs was ten meters wide and had ninety-nine steps.
"Brother Duanmu, is there something special about these steps? Even High Level Heavenly Deities are unable to ascend? "Qin Yu felt a bit of disbelief.
What was so special about stairs?
"In all of history, there has never been a single expert that has not reached the Godking level that was able to climb to the top of the Heaven Connecting Flight of Steps step by step," Duanmu Yu continued to speak with a resounding voice.
At this moment, a man and a woman who were sweeping the floor at the top of the stairs took a step forward and flew directly in front of Qin Yu.
"Brother Duanmu, long time no see," That middle-aged man said to Duanmu Yu with a smile.
Qin Yu saw Duanmu Yu and the middle-aged man's expression and immediately knew that the two of them were old acquaintances. At this moment, Duanmu Yu also said. "It has indeed been a long time. It has been a total of eight million years since we last met. Oh, that's right, Hao Jun, as the disciple of the Unfettered Exalted Celestial, have you ever seen the Unfettered Exalted Celestial in these eight million years? "
At the same time, Duanmu Yu said to Qin Yu. "Brother Qin Yu, these two people are respectively the disciple of the Unfettered Exalted Celestial, Hao Jun, and the disciple of the Thunder Punishment Exalted Celestial, Yao Lin."
"Qin Yu pays his respects to Hao Jun and Yao Lin." Qin Yu slightly bowed and said.
With Qin Yu's current eyesight, he was able to tell that the two people before him were both High Level Heavenly Deities. That Hao Jun lightly smiled at Qin Yu. Then, with a helpless smile, he replied to Duanmu Yu. "Brother Duanmu, the Exalted Celestial is someone who is free and unfettered. Ever since I became the disciple of the Exalted Celestial, he had only guided me in my cultivation for a short period of time. Later on, he decided to leave me to fend for myself. Ever since the last time you left, in these eight million years, I have not seen the Exalted Celestial even once. "
As Hao Jun said those words, he looked to the beautiful middle-aged woman beside him. "This Yao Lin's luck is a bit better than mine. She even managed to see the Thunder Punishment Exalted Celestial once a few years ago."
Duanmu Yu smiled to Qin Yu beside him and said. "Brother Qin Yu, did you hear that? Even the disciples of these two Exalted Celestials rarely managed to see the Exalted Celestials. For us to be able to see the Exalted Celestials and obtain their gifts, it will be extremely difficult. "
Qin Yu had no choice but to admit it.
It was true that the first chosen candidate spot set by the Utmost North Sage Emperor might be wasted.
Qin Yu's Spatial Energy began to spread out. It had been a total of six thousand years since he reached the Universe Realm. Qin Yu's current Spatial Energy covered a range of a hundred miles.
"Although it cannot completely cover the Sky-Floating Island, covering the Sky-Floating Island's Mountain Sea Palace is very simple." Qin Yu began to carefully inspect the Mountain Sea Palace.
Before inspecting it, he was still curious.
However, upon inspecting it, Qin Yu discovered that there was nothing mysterious about the Mountain Sea Palace. It was merely a palace with a rather complicated structure. Furthermore, there was not a single person in the entire Mountain Sea Palace.
"Hao Jun, Yao Lin." Qin Yu said to the two of them with a smile. "The two of you are the disciple of the Unfettered Exalted Celestial and the disciple of the Thunder Punishment Exalted Celestial. Then, what about the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial? Does he have any disciples? "
Hao Jun and Yao Lin glanced at each other. Then, they both laughed.
Duanmu Yu said to Qin Yu. "Qin Yu, you know too little about the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial. The Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial is the most mysterious and the hardest to meet among the Three Great Exalted Celestials. Not to mention you, even the Eight Great Sage Emperors have likely met the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial very few times. "
"The two of us have become disciples of the two Exalted Celestials. In all these years, we have only met the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial once. Furthermore, the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial possesses an extremely strange temperament. He has never had any disciples," Yao Lin said with a smile.
Hao Jun said in a low voice. "The Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial is extremely powerful. The other two Exalted Celestials would frequently have conflicts with each other. However, they have never dared to have conflicts with the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial."
From the words of these two Exalted Celestials, Qin Yu felt even more clearly how mysterious the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial was.
The reason why Hao Jun and Yao Lin were able to tell Qin Yu so much was because they were giving face to Duanmu Yu.
"Hao Jun, I wish to meet the Exalted Celestials this time around to obtain a bestowment from them. Do you know of any good methods? "Duanmu Yu asked.
Hao Jun blinked his eyes and smiled. "Brother Duanmu, it is very easy to meet the Exalted Celestials. All you need to do is to ascend the 'Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps' from below. "
"I naturally know of that. Merely, in order to ascend the ninety-nine steps, one must reach the Godking level. Otherwise, how could one possibly reach the top?" Duanmu Yu said while shaking his head.
Hao Jun and Yao Lin glanced at each other. A trace of a smile was present in their eyes.
"Brother Duanmu, I know why you all have come here. The Utmost North Sage Emperor has already informed me of this matter beforehand. Who can I not side with? Furthermore, there is nothing I can do even if I wanted to. In order to meet the Exalted Celestials, the only way is to ascend the 'Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps,' "Hao Jun said with a mischievous smile.
Qin Yu and Duanmu Yu felt helpless upon hearing that.
It turned out that they had already received the news.
*****
"We need to obtain a gift bestowed by the Exalted Celestials?" Qin Yu muttered.
Ascending the 'Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps' was a method that had no other choice. In the past few days, Qin Yu had been on the Levitation Island the entire time. In fact, in the Mountain Sea Palace, apart from the main palace hall, there were also three side palaces.
The three side palaces corresponded to the palaces of the Unfettered Exalted Celestial, the Thunder Punishment Exalted Celestial and the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial respectively. There was nothing special about the flight of steps leading to the three side palaces.
Qin Yu had also strolled around the three side palaces for a long time.
However, in the completely empty Mountain Sea Palace, other than himself, there were only two Exalted Celestials' disciples and Duanmu Yu. Evidently, Duanmu Yu had not made any breakthroughs.
"It would appear that I will truly have to attempt that Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps!" Qin Yu muttered as he sat on a large bluestone.
"Brother Qin Yu."
Qin Yu raised his head to look. Duanmu Yu was currently walking over with a frown on his face. "Brother Qin Yu, Kuiyin Hou has arrived."
"Kuiyin Hou has arrived?" Qin Yu suddenly jumped down from the bluestone.
Qin Yu and Duanmu Yu's flying speed was the fastest. They were only able to arrive one or two months ahead of ordinary people. However, Kuiyin Hou, who was second only to Qin Yu and Duanmu Yu, had already arrived on the Levitation Island.
"We cannot waste any more time. In the past few days, we have not been able to find any other method. We can only use this stupid method," Duanmu Yu had a serious expression on his face as he spoke to Qin Yu solemnly.
Qin Yu nodded slightly.
"Come, let's go to the Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps." Qin Yu and Duanmu Yu began to walk toward the Mountain Sea Palace's Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps with large strides. However, after Qin Yu and Duanmu Yu walked for a short while, they discovered Kuiyin Hou who was not far away from the Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps.
When Kuiyin Hou saw that Qin Yu and Duanmu Yu were actually walking toward the Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps, he opened his eyes wide in shock.
"Brother Qin Yu, Brother Duanmu, have the two of you lost your minds? Those are the Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps. Only Godking level experts are capable of ascending those steps. Although it is said that 'if a non-Godly King level expert ascends the Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps, the Exalted Celestials will appear to meet them,' it is still hard to determine whether or not that legend is true. Furthermore, as long as one has not reached the Godking level, it is impossible for one to ascend the Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps, "Kuiyin Hou said directly to Qin Yu and Duanmu Yu.
Qin Yu was unable to refrain himself from stopping.
Was it absolutely impossible?
Qin Yu looked to Kuiyin Hou. At this moment, Duanmu Yu also looked to Kuiyin Hou. "Kuiyin Hou, there is no need for you to try to persuade them. Furthermore, that legend is true. If you do not believe me, you can ask Hao Jun and Yao Lin. They are disciples of the Exalted Celestials. They know this the best. "
"Even if it is true, so what?" Kuiyin Hou refuted. "The Utmost North Sage Emperor had also said to me that unless one completely comprehended the spatial laws, it would be impossible for one to ascend the Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps."
"Haha …"
A loud laughter was heard. Zhou Xian who was standing on a golden heavy sword soared into the sky. His cyan gown fluttered in the wind. The current Zhou Xian was emitting a domineering aura.
"Brother Qin Yu, Brother Duanmu, what are the two of you doing in front of the Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps? Could it be that you're seeking trouble for yourselves? Haha, my Imperial Father had already said that those who are not Godkings would definitely not be able to ascend the Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps. "
Right after Zhou Xian finished saying those words, he had already descended.
Qin Yu looked to the distance. He saw people flying over one after another. There were actually six of them. These six people were all High Level Heavenly Deities. Among them was the bashful youngster, Shentu Fan.
Those six people also descended.
"Brother Kuiyin, what are you all arguing about?" A robust youngster landed and asked with a clear voice.
"Oh, Heavenly Wolf Palace Master, we are not arguing about anything. Merely, Brother Duanmu and Brother Qin Yu are planning to ascend the Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps." Kuiyin Hou said with a smile.
Immediately, that Heavenly Wolf Palace Master looked to Qin Yu and Duanmu Yu with an extremely shocked expression.
Qin Yu started to frown.
Why did it seem like this group of people were watching clowns?
"Brother Qin Yu, there is no need for you to mind them." Duanmu Yu's expression was calm. He did not care about the gazes of the others at all.
"Brother Kuiyin, I have some friendship with that Exalted Celestial's disciple, Hao Jun. Let's go and ask him together. I reckon he might have some method to ascend the Heaven Reaching Flight of Steps." That Heavenly Wolf Palace Master said with a smile.
Kuiyin Hou nodded and said. "That would be very good." He then looked to Qin Yu and Duanmu Yu. "Brother Qin Yu, Brother Duanmu, how about we go together?"
"There's no need." Duanmu Yu said indifferently.
Qin Yu did not say much. He thought in his heart. 'If you want to go, then go. Duanmu Yu and I have already asked Hao Jun and Yao Lin.'
Kuiyin Hou and the others began to walk toward the side palace. They planned to ascend the flight of steps leading to the side palace.
Suddenly …
"Your Highness Zhou Xian." An amiable voice sounded from above. It was that Yao Lin. Yao Lin had a warm smile on her face.
Upon seeing that it was Yao Lin, Zhou Xian immediately bowed.
However, Yao Lin spoke. "The Exalted Celestial has just sent an order for Your Highness Zhou Xian to enter the palace." This Yao Lin was a disciple of the Thunder Punishment Exalted Celestial. Thus, the 'Exalted Celestial' she spoke of was naturally the Thunder Punishment Exalted Celestial.
Zhou Xian was slightly startled. Then, an overjoyed expression appeared on his face.
Kuiyin Hou and the others looked to Zhou Xian. A trace of unconcealable jealousy flashed through their eyes. They all said in low voices. "This Zhou Xian …"
"Zhou Xian has only just arrived, and the Thunder Punishment Exalted Celestial's order has already arrived. He is being too biased." Qin Yu felt a burst of anger.
