Beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead. Qin Yu's gaze was fixed on the ninety-ninth step of the Heaven Connecting Flight of Steps.
At this moment, it was already the ninety-fifth step.
This time, Qin Yu had been using his spatial energy since the very beginning when he ascended the Heaven Connecting Flight of Steps. Thus, Qin Yu had become even more familiar with controlling the spatial energy. He had also become more experienced in resisting the spatial pressure.
The spatial energy surrounding Qin Yu would occasionally ripple like waves. Occasionally, it would swirl like a whirlpool. Occasionally, it would swirl like a cone …
In short, with the smallest price, Qin Yu was able to remove all sorts of spatial pressure, lockdown, binding, etc.
"This time, it should be a bit better than the first time." Qin Yu suddenly took another step forward.
The ninety-sixth step!
"Last time, I had already reached my limit on the ninety-sixth step. I had only just reached the ninety-seventh step when I was blasted down. This time … it seems to be slightly better. "Qin Yu had a trace of joy that was difficult to conceal in his heart.
Qin Yu was not in a hurry to ascend to the ninety-seventh step. Instead, he stayed on the ninety-sixth step to familiarize himself with the higher level spatial attacks.
The people below were all holding their breaths.
In the past, the highest record was only the ninety-fifth step. However, Qin Yu had already broken through. Even if Qin Yu were to fail, they would still feel admiration for Qin Yu in their hearts.
"Why did Brother Qin Yu stop on the ninety-sixth step?" Shentu Fan asked in a puzzled manner.
Duanmu Yu and Kuiyin Hou also shook their heads to indicate that they did not know.
As they saw it, every step tested one's comprehension of the spatial laws. There was no benefit in staying on a certain step for a long time.
However, they did not know.
Qin Yu was accumulating experience. He was accumulating experience in using his' spatial energy 'to resist the various spatial attacks. The more time passed, the more experience Qin Yu would gain.
Qin Yu stayed on the ninety-sixth step for an entire hour.
"Last time, Qin Yu had only just reached the ninety-seventh step when he was blasted down. I wonder if this time …" Kuiyin Hou said in a low voice.
"Qin Yu has moved," Hao Jun suddenly said.
At this moment, a lot of people had been attracted by Qin Yu climbing the Heaven-Reaching Steps. All of them raised their heads to watch Qin Yu climbing the Heaven-Reaching Steps. When they heard "Qin Yu moved", all of their eyes shone as they focused on Qin Yu.
One step!
Qin Yu had already reached the 97th floor.
Under everyone's gaze, Qin Yu's entire body swayed slightly on the 97th floor, but he still stood firm and did not fall.
"He stopped!" Kuiyin Hou, Duanmu Yu, Shentu Fan and the others were all shocked.
Last time, Qin Yu had been blasted down the moment he reached the 97th floor. This meant that Qin Yu was unable to withstand the spatial attacks of the 97th floor.
But why was Qin Yu able to stand on the 97th floor in such a short time?
This improvement was simply too great!
"Spatial comprehension can improve so quickly?" Zhou Xian muttered in a low voice in disbelief.
*****
The group of people below did not know that the difference between the first time and the second time was so short. Thus, it was only natural that one's spatial comprehension would not improve by much. What Qin Yu improved was … his experience in using spatial energy to defend against spatial attacks.
How to use a small amount of spatial energy to defend against powerful attacks.
"Persevere, persevere."
On the 97th floor, Qin Yu used the same strategy as on the 96th floor. He was not in a rush to take another step forward. Instead, he began to familiarize himself with spatial attacks of a greater degree.
Qin Yu's body would sway from time to time. However, he was rapidly controlling the spatial energy.
At this moment, the spatial energy had been suppressed to a meter around him. Qin Yu was frantically adjusting his spatial energy to defend against the spatial pressure.
"I feel as if I am a small boat in a raging sea that could capsize at any moment," Qin Yu felt very tired.
Every single time he resisted a spatial attack, it seemed as if he had reached Qin Yu's limit.
Time and time again, he challenged Qin Yu's limit.
Qin Yu was doing his best to persevere.
"Bang!" A slight mistake caused Qin Yu to be knocked down the flight of steps. The frightening spatial pressure caused Qin Yu's sternum to shatter. His chest caved in.
He powerlessly fell to the ground.
"Brother Qin Yu." Duanmu Yu, Kuiyin Hou and the others hurriedly supported him. Qin Yu's injuries were quickly healed. His body began to swell, and the bloodstains disappeared without a trace.
"Are you alright?" Duanmu Yu looked to Qin Yu. At this moment, Qin Yu's expression was very calm. There was no change in his expression at all. This caused Duanmu Yu to be worried about Qin Yu's state of mind.
"I'm fine."
Qin Yu said. However, his gaze was still fixed on the 99th floor of the Heaven Connecting Flight of Steps.
"Accumulate experience, accumulate experience … once I am able to stand firm on the 97th floor, and then try my best to persevere on the 98th floor for a while longer, I will be able to rapidly ascend to the 99th floor. Even if I am instantly knocked down, at least … I will have reached the top, "Qin Yu thought to himself.
Qin Yu's thought process was very good.
The way Qin Yu saw it, there was still a trace of possibility for him to succeed.
"Brother Qin Yu, what are you planning to do?" Kuiyin Hou said in astonishment.
At this moment, the surrounding people were all astonished. The reason for that was because Qin Yu had once again ascended the steps! He had failed twice, yet he still wanted to ascend? No one understood what Qin Yu was thinking.
"This Qin Yu, could it be that he believes that ascending the Heaven Connecting Flight of Steps will increase his comprehension of space?" Zhou Xian said with a frown.
No one understood what Qin Yu was thinking. However, Qin Yu still continued to ascend.
… …
Once again, Qin Yu ascended to the 97th floor.
On the 97th floor, Qin Yu stopped and began to familiarize himself with the various spatial attacks.
"If I am unable to even stand stably on the 97th floor, I reckon that I will be blasted down the moment I reach the 98th floor," Qin Yu was very familiar with the difference between each floor.
Closing his eyes, Qin Yu was even able to picture all sorts of strange spatial attacks in his mind. He then strove to stand stably amidst all sorts of attacks.
After about the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Qin Yu was once again blasted down.
… …
Qin Yu propped himself against the ground with one hand and stood up. He looked to the top of the Heaven Connecting Flight of Steps. "Right now, it is as if I am walking on a tightrope. I could be blasted down at any moment. I am still unable to stand stably."
After that, Qin Yu ignored the words of the surrounding people and continued to ascend the steps.
Duanmu Yu, Kuiyin Hou, Shentu Fan and the others glanced at one another. Then, they walked to the side and sat down cross-legged. They no longer spoke. As for the others, they all dispersed.
"That Qin Yu, if he wants to be tortured, then he can slowly be tortured," Zhou Xian muttered with a sneer. Then, he walked to the side and no longer bothered with Qin Yu.
*****
"Boom!"
Qin Yu once again fell to the ground. Duanmu Yu who was sitting cross-legged beside him opened his eyes to take a glance. Duanmu Yu had already forgotten how many times Qin Yu had attempted to ascend the steps.
It had already been half a year!
For an entire half a year, Qin Yu had attempted to ascend the steps again and again. Again and again, he had fallen. In the past half a year, Qin Yu had actually remained on the ninety-seventh step the entire time. He did not ascend any further.
"Qin Yu …" Duanmu Yu felt that he was slightly moved. "If I had persevered like this with Qin Yu back then, perhaps the ending would have been different."
A trace of pain suddenly flashed through Duanmu Yu's eyes. His complexion turned pale. "No, persevered? I am already in such a state. If I were to continue to wrong myself and persevere, what meaning would there be in obtaining her? "
In Qin Yu's eyes, it seemed as if there was nothing that could cause Duanmu Yu's emotions to fluctuate.
At this moment, a person that could be said to be perfect was trembling in pain. In merely a short moment, Duanmu Yu had completely calmed down.
"When it's time to give up, then give up!"
Duanmu Yu then closed his eyes.
… …
It was still the ninety-seventh step.
At this moment, Qin Yu had been standing on the ninety-seventh step for nearly an hour now. The 'spatial energy' surrounding his body was changing in a very smooth manner. It was cleverly resisting the attacks again and again.
"It's about time. I can attempt the next step!"
Qin Yu's gaze suddenly turned sharp.
He took a step forward!
At this moment, not a single person was paying attention to Qin Yu. Qin Yu's repeated attempts over the past half a year had caused those people to become numb to it. There were even some people who felt that Qin Yu was a paranoid maniac.
At this moment, Qin Yu had stepped onto the ninety-eighth step. Naturally, no one was paying attention to him.
At the instant that he stepped onto the ninety-eighth step, Qin Yu felt his body tremble violently. However, Qin Yu's eyes turned red. He hysterically controlled his spatial energy to resist the incoming attacks.
"I only need a moment to take another step forward!"
On the ninety-eighth step, Qin Yu felt that his body was on the verge of collapse. He felt as if he could be blasted down at any moment. Thus, he did not care about anything else and directly took another step forward.
The ninety-ninth step!
As soon as Qin Yu stepped onto the ninety-ninth step, he felt an irresistible spatial pressure. His entire body was blasted down without the slightest bit of resistance.
"Peng!"
He landed heavily on the ground. Several of Qin Yu's bones were broken from the pressure. His blood dyed the ground red. However … …
Qin Yu was smiling!
"Although the time was very short, I have at least reached the ninety-ninth step." Qin Yu felt his heartbeat quicken. "If the Celestial Venerables kept their word and I reached the ninety-ninth step, they should have shown themselves to me."
Qin Yu could not help but clench his fists tightly. His body trembled slightly.
In his mind, Liu Xing's tears shot out a green light. In the blink of an eye, Qin Yu's injuries were completely healed. Qin Yu stood up and swept his gaze across the three side palaces.
Suddenly — —
Hao Jun appeared before the entrance of the Unfettered Palace.
"Qin Yu's perseverance is astonishing. He has finally reached the ninety-ninth step of the Heaven Connecting Flight of Steps. The Unfettered Exalted Celestial has just sent a decree to have Qin Yu enter the Unfettered Palace." Hao Jun's clear voice spread throughout the entire Levitation Island.
"Ah!"
Everyone who heard this voice was shocked. Even Duanmu Yu who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed opened his eyes in shock. He looked at Qin Yu.
"What? He reached the ninety-ninth step? " Zhou Xian who was chatting with Yao Lin suddenly turned around and looked in Qin Yu's direction. His eyes were filled with disbelief!
Duanmu Yu, Kuiyin Hou, Shentu Fan … and the others were all gathered there.
Everyone was looking at Qin Yu in shock.
At this moment, Qin Yu had a slight smile on his face.
Duanmu Yu walked over to Qin Yu. His eyes were filled with shock, admiration, experience, and admiration. Soon after, he smiled and sighed. "Qin Yu, I truly never expected that you would be able to ascend to the ninety-ninth step. I, Duanmu Yu, admire you!"
Kuiyin Hou also walked over. There was a trace of joy in his eyes. "Qin Yu, you actually managed to ascend to the ninety-ninth step. I also admire you."
"Me too." Shentu Fan also walked over.
Different from Zhou Xian, Qin Yu had tried his best to ascend the steps time and time again. In the past half year, how many times had Qin Yu failed? The surrounding people simply did not know. However, they knew … that Qin Yu had failed many times every day.
He had tried nonstop for an entire half year.
Qin Yu had succeeded!
He was not a Godking yet he had ascended the Heaven Connecting Flight of Steps!
This was a record in the Divine Realm!
"Brother Qin Yu, the Exalted Celestial is still waiting for you in the Unfettered Palace." Hao Jun's voice sounded from above. Qin Yu lightly nodded. He then cupped his hands toward Duanmu Yu, Shentu Fan and the others. "Everyone, I will be going up first."
Duanmu Yu and the others nodded with smiles on their faces.
Before everyone's attentive gazes, Qin Yu directly ascended the flight of steps before the Unfettered Palace. The gazes of the majority of these people were filled with admiration. As for Zhou Xian who had long since obtained the Exalted Celestial's bestowment, he felt very upset.
Qin Yu would also be bestowed by the Exalted Celestial.
At that time, only he and Qin Yu would be bestowed by the Exalted Celestial. However, Qin Yu had ascended to the ninety-ninth step of the Heaven Connecting Flight of Steps. What about him?
*****
"Brother Hao Jun." After ascending the flight of steps, Qin Yu bowed to Hao Jun.
"The Exalted Celestial is in the garden behind the Unfettered Palace." Hao Jun guided Qin Yu. Qin Yu nodded and smiled gratefully. Then, he stepped into the Unfettered Palace.
… …
"I've finally succeeded." Walking on the path, Qin Yu's heart was filled with excitement. However, when he approached the entrance of the garden, Qin Yu felt somewhat nervous.
The Exalted Celestial!
He was going to see the Exalted Celestial!
The legendary elusive Exalted Celestial. Even the Craftsman God Chehou Yuan had never seen the Exalted Celestial. As for him, Qin Yu, he would soon be able to see the Exalted Celestial.
With a single step, he stepped through the entrance of the garden.
Qin Yu's heart immediately calmed down. To be exact, the simple and tranquil atmosphere of the garden had affected Qin Yu. After entering the garden, Qin Yu swept his gaze around.
An arrogant and thin figure had his hands behind his back. His back was facing Qin Yu.
Qin Yu immediately locked onto this purple gowned thin figure. Just by looking at his back, he should be a man. Qin Yu's heart started to tremble slightly. 'Is this person the legendary … Unfettered Exalted Celestial?'
When this purple gowned man saw Qin Yu looking at him, he also turned around at the same time.
"What does the Unfettered Exalted Celestial look like?" Qin Yu stared at the purple gowned man without blinking. When the purple gowned man turned around and his face was reflected in Qin Yu's eyes, Qin Yu's attention was locked onto that pair of eyes.
That pair of eyes was actually a dark red!
