In front of the stone gate.
"Brother Potian, what's wrong?"
"Brother Long, we can't go out like this. According to the rules of the Battle of the Nine States, if we leave before the three-month deadline, we will be attacked by the nine families."
He cursed in his heart, but since there was such a rule in the Battle of the Nine States, Long Ao couldn't fight against the nine sects alone. It was probably unrealistic.
However, Long Potian said, "Brother Long, don't worry. I have a path to leave. Let's go."
Long Ao didn't ask much. He knew that as a friend, there were things he should ask and things he shouldn't ask.
In this way, the two left the Scarlet Sky World at the fastest speed, but they never found that there was a figure following behind them. Even if it was only ten meters away, the two still couldn't find the trace of the evil spirit.
Outside the Scarlet Sky World.
The two finally breathed a sigh of relief. Long Potian said, "Brother Long, we left the Scarlet Sky World in advance. Why don't you come back with me to the Long family? I will take you to that place later. I believe it will be of great help to your cultivation breakthrough."
"Okay."
Long Ao also planned to go and see. After all, what he needed most now was strength, so he wouldn't choose to give up anything that could improve his strength.
The Scarlet Province was dominated by the nine families and the four empires.
However, as everyone knew, the nine families would not intervene in the secular affairs at all, so the secular world was dominated by the four empires.
In the Scarlet Province, the nine families would not come out to support any of the four empires, and let them develop. After so many years, the four empires had almost reached a state of saturation.
In fact, the nine families were most willing to see the four empires in a state of balance.
The Long family was considered weak among the nine families, but even so, the other families didn't dare to ask the Long family for help. The reason was very simple, that was, the Long family had a Long family behind them.
Although the Long family wouldn't intervene in the affairs of the low-level families, there was always a possibility. Moreover, the Long family had a super genius that hadn't been seen in a hundred years, Long Potian.
Long Potian had reached the peak of the Tao Ancestor realm at the age of twenty-five, and was ranked first on the Scarlet Province List.
As everyone knew, the Long family had a ranking, the Dragon Ranking. As long as one could enter the Dragon Ranking, they would be able to soar into the sky and enter the Long family to cultivate.
According to Long Potian's talent and potential, it was only a matter of time before he entered the Dragon Rankings. It was because of this that the Long family was not the strongest in the Crimson Province, but they were the most popular.
Perhaps Long Ao was too impatient, but he didn't follow Long Potian back to the Long family. Instead, he went straight to the place where he could improve his strength.
"Big Brother Potian, where is this place?"
"Brother Long, you must remember that this matter must be kept a secret because other than the nine great sects, no other clan or sect knows about this place in the Crimson Province, including those in the Tianzhou."
Long Ao's curiosity was piqued, but he still nodded.
"Brother Long, back then when the Nine States had just been divided, the Crimson State was under the control of the Nine Great Clans. I accidentally found a place called the Ninety-nine Celestial Stairs. According to the rumors, as long as one could climb the highest Celestial Stairs, a rainbow would cross the sky, and the sound of the heavens would ring throughout the Crimson State. Furthermore, the higher the Celestial Stairs, the more helpful it would be for one's future cultivation."
Ninety-nine Celestial Stairs.
Only an idiot wouldn't be moved after hearing Long Potian's words. Long Ao became more and more excited, and he couldn't wait to go to the Ninety-nine Celestial Stairs.
"Brother Long, the outside of the Ninety-nine Celestial Stairs is also called the Ninety-nine Celestial Stairs. Every Celestial Stairs will have a different feeling. You can try to sense and experience it."
"Can I go in?"
Since the Ninety-nine Celestial Stairs were occupied by the Nine Great Clans, they definitely wouldn't let outsiders enter easily. Since that was the case, could he enter the Ninety-nine Celestial Stairs?
"Brother Long, don't worry. Although you're from the Long family of the Crimson Fire Town in the Tianzhou, you're still a member of the Long family. You don't have to say anything, just leave everything to me."
Nodding, Long Ao asked, "Big Brother Potian, how many Celestial Stairs have you climbed?"
When the Ninety-nine Celestial Stairs was mentioned, Long Potian's face was filled with pride. He said, "In the past thousand years, the highest was the 60th Celestial Stairs, but I've only climbed the 29th Celestial Stairs. I'm the first in the past hundred years."
The 29th Celestial Stairs?
If it was just about how difficult it was to climb the Celestial Stairs, one wouldn't have the slightest idea. But now, Long Ao finally understood what the Ninety-nine Celestial Stairs represented. Even Long Potian had only climbed the 20th Celestial Stairs, and he was the first in the past hundred years. This in itself already explained everything.
But Long Ao was still looking forward to climbing the Ninety-nine Celestial Stairs.
The Sky Beyond.
Located in the middle of the Qilian Mountains, it was guarded by the experts of the Nine Great Clans. Not to mention entering the Sky Beyond, ordinary people wouldn't even have heard of it.
If the matter of the Sky Beyond was leaked out and the forces of the other eight states knew about it, there would definitely be an endless stream of people pouring in. At that time, the Sky Beyond wouldn't be exclusive to the Crimson Prefecture, but to all nine states.
Because of this, very few people knew about the Sky Beyond. Even the disciples of the Nine Great Clans didn't know about it. This was also the agreement of the Nine Great Clans.
The intention of the Nine Great Clans was very simple. They wanted to have their own Sky Beyond. Long Ao understood this very well. After all, the good things had to be left for themselves.
"Brother Long, you have to give me this opportunity because each of us only has one chance to enter the Sky Beyond Heaven every year. Back then, when I reached the 29th step of the Celestial Stairway, the Nine Great Clans rewarded me with two chances every year. I didn't go this year, so now, I'll give you one chance."
"Thank you."
Long Ao didn't say much. He just had to remember this kindness in his heart.
"Brother Long, with your talent and potential, if nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to climb the 30th Celestial Stairs. You will replace me and become the first in a hundred years."
Long Ao shrugged helplessly. Although he was very confident in his talent, he didn't dare to say much about the Ninety-nine Celestial Stairs. After all, even Long Potian had only climbed the 29th Celestial Stairs. Just think about it and he knew how difficult it was.
In the middle of the Qilian Mountains, there was a huge mountain range that spanned the entire Qilian Mountains.
The Sky Beyond was in the middle. From the outside, one could only see pieces of white clouds. It was impossible to see the situation inside.
"Brother Long, this is the Sky Beyond of the Qilian Mountains. The Ninety-nine Celestial Stairs are inside. Don't talk nonsense later. No matter what happens, you just have to remember one thing. Endure because this opportunity is very important to you. You must not give up."
Nodding, Long Ao said, "I understand."
