Chapter 197: Climbing the Void Stairs

“Forget about them, it’s a good thing for us that they can’t pass the mental test.”

Fang Lixing said, “We asked them to come here just to find the mystic realm faster. Now that they have been eliminated, they will no longer fight with us for the final inheritance.”

As soon as Fang Lixing finished speaking, Jian Li and Chu Yeyang looked at each other. The atmosphere became a little strange.

In fact, the three of them were competitors now.

“You don’t have to think too much.”

Fang Lixing also noticed this awkwardness, but he smiled and said, “According to the records of our predecessors, the Red Sea Demon Lord left behind three important inheritances in this mystic realm. They are a dao realm alchemy technique, a top-notch demonic technique, and a drop of demon essence.”

“Among them, the dao realm alchemy technique is the essence of the Red Sea Demon Lord’s experience in the path of alchemy. As for that top-level demonic technique, after cultivating it to the highest realm, one can kill enemies above their level in the dao realm. And lastly, after one swallows that drop of demon essence, one can change their demonic cultivation aptitude to become a top genius of the demonic path.”

“Whichever one of these three important inheritances you obtain will be a huge gain. Moreover, the Red Sea Demon Lord also created a restriction that a person can only obtain one inheritance, so there is no need for us to fight each other.”

The tense atmosphere eased a lot with Fang Lixing’s words.

However, although all three of them could get their share of the pie, they all had a goal. After all, everyone each had an inheritance they wanted in mind.

“Brother Fang is right, no matter what, no one should fight.”

Jian Li said, “Whether the three of us can pass the ultimate assessment in the end, or whoever completes the ultimate assessment first and selects their inheritance, no one should hurt the harmony between us. Our ancestors were colleagues after all, so we have to maintain our friendship. After we leave this mystic realm and advance to the dao realm, we can cross the Endless Sea Abyss together and go to State Wansheng.”

“Absolutely.”

Chu Yeyang nodded.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries. And after encouraging each other, they looked at the void stairs.

The void stairs meandered upwards. After the thirtieth step, it was covered by gray fog, making it difficult to see past it.

“This void stairs is the final test. Only by persevering to the peak can you pass the assessment.”

Because of the clues left behind by their ancestors, they knew the secrets of the mystic realm well.

“It was said that a large amount of pressure will bore down on us on this void stairs. The pressure will wear down one’s true qi, attribute power, and even temperament. To reach the peak, one must have extremely strong willpower.”

Fang Lixing said, “No matter what, I hope to see you two at the top of the void stairs.”

“Okay.”

When Jian Li heard this, she cupped her fists towards the two. “I hope you two will do well.”

“See you at the peak.”

Chu Yeyang said.

Afterwards, Fang Lixing flicked his sleeves and took the lead to step onto the void stairs.

After Fang Lixing stepped onto the first void step, he instantly disappeared.

Seeing this, Jian Li and Chu Yeyang were not surprised at all.

This was a feature of the void stairs.

The people below the stairs couldn’t see the people on the stairs.

The people on the steps below couldn’t see the people on the steps above.

But on the other hand, the people higher up on the stairs could see the people below them.

On the void stairs, the people higher up obviously had the advantage.

They could set up an ambush whenever the people below them were about to catch up with them. The moment the people below stepped on the same step as them, they could ambush them and make them fall down.

After Fang Lixing went up, Jian Li and Chu Yeyang followed.

Not long after Fang Lixing, Jian Li, and Chu Yeyang went up, the space below the stairs was distorted again.

Soon after, Xu Ning appeared at the bottom of the stairs.

‘This is…’

After Xu Ning looked around, he looked at the void stairs.

He looked up the void stairs.

‘Is this the next assessment?’

Xu Ning didn’t know that this void stairs was the last assessment of the mystic realm.

‘I think they want the candidates to walk up the stairs…’

Xu Ning guessed.?‘There must be a test on this staircase.’

Xu Ning calmed down, got ready, and walked towards the stairs.

‘Huh?’

After Xu Ning stepped onto the first step, he felt an inexplicable pressure wrapping around him.

Although this pressure was not substantial, and it did not affect his movements much, Xu Ning still felt uncomfortable.

He used his attribute power and true qi to resist, and he discovered that in the process of resisting the external pressure, his attribute power and true qi were being worn down.

‘Is this void step a test of endurance?’

Xu Ning was not sure, so he stepped onto the second step.

He could clearly feel that the pressure on the second step was a little higher than on the first step, but it did not increase much. It was still within Xu Ning’s tolerance range.

Thus, Xu Ning continued to walk forward.

Third step, fourth step, fifth step…

He walked up step by step.

As Xu Ning continued to walk upwards, he didn’t know that people were watching his every move.

‘What’s going on? Why are there other people in this mystic realm?’

When Xu Ning appeared at the bottom of the void stairs, the three of them noticed Xu Ning.

‘This person is not from our previous group. It seems that he is someone who entered the mystic realm at the same time as us by coincidence.’

Fang Lixing had already reached the thirty-first step, walking into the gray fog.

He was the strongest, and he had experienced hardships when he was young. He was also very determined, so he climbed the furthest.

‘I wonder if this person is also a descendant of Red Sea Demon Lord’s followers. If he is not, then this person must be extraordinary to be able to pass three tests in a row.’

Fang Lixing looked back at Xu Ning as he recovered.

‘Forget about him, I should continue climbing the stairs.’

Fang Lixing looked up.

After entering the gray fog, he could no longer see the stairs above, so he did not know how many more steps there were left.

‘I hope there are fewer steps up ahead…’

The current Fang Lixing could already feel the pressure.

Especially after passing the thirtieth step and entering the gray fog, the pressure got higher and higher.

Jian Li and Chu Yeyang also noticed Xu Ning’s existence.

Jian Li had reached the twenty-fifth step. After discovering Xu Ning’s existence, she was a little surprised, but she didn’t care too much. She just continued to climb the stairs.

This was all because Chu Yeyang was below her.

Thus, Xu Ning was far from being able to disturb her state yet.

But Chu Yeyang was different. He was the weakest and had the weakest temperament of the three of them. He had only reached the twentieth step and was currently trying his best to reach the twenty-first step.

After discovering Xu Ning, he became more impatient.

There were three inheritances on the top of this staircase. If the newly appeared Xu Ning surpassed him, then he would be left with nothing.

‘If this person catches up to me, I will ambush him and seriously injure him. Then, I will kick him to the bottom of the stairs. After climbing the stairs for a while, he must have consumed a lot of energy. If he has to do it again, he will definitely run out of energy.’

Chu Yeyang made a plan.

Xu Ning didn’t know that he was being plotted against. He just continued to concentrate on advancing forward.

He had already passed the tenth step and arrived at the eleventh step.

‘After passing the tenth step and arriving at the eleventh step, the pressure suddenly spiked.’

Xu Ning frowned.

The pressure from the first to the tenth step slowly increased.

But from the tenth step to the eleventh step, the pressure doubled instantly.

This pressure increased Xu Ning’s discomfort, but it still did not affect Xu Ning’s progress.

‘There’s a sound…’

Xu Ning continued to walk until he reached the twelfth step.

Xu Ning noticed a strange sound hovering next to his ears.

That strange noise had a peculiar tone, making people annoyed.

‘This void staircase is actually disturbing my mental state…’

Xu Ning also noticed this.

However, this tiny distraction was nothing to Xu Ning.

After passing the mental test just now, Xu Ning’s state of mind had risen to another level.

The previous mental test was also an excellent training experience for Xu Ning.

Xu Ning continued to walk forward. He was getting closer and closer to Chu Yeyang.

‘How is this happening? Why doesn’t he ever rest? How is he walking all the way up?’

After Chu Yeyang reached the twenty-second step, he discovered that Xu Ning had already reached the nineteenth step and was about to catch up with him.

During this process, Chu Yeyang discovered that the person behind him did not rest at all, as if this pressure did not affect him much.

‘I’m not going to climb anymore!’

Chu Yeyang was already impatient, and Xu Ning was getting closer and closer. He decided to stop and ambush Xu Ning.

Chu Yeyang was a true intent realm martial artist, and he also had a dao weapon. He felt that he could definitely succeed in a sneak attack.

Chu Yeyang stood still, took out a short knife, and looked down at Xu Ning as he approached.

‘Chu Yeyang doesn’t seem to want to continue climbing. It seems that he wants to get rid of the person behind him first…’

Fang Lixing and Jian Lixing also noticed this.

Because they were under a lot of pressure and had consumed a lot of energy, they stopped to rest and watch Chu Yeyang attack Xu Ning.

‘However, that person is quite fast…’

Fang Lixing was fine. After all, he had climbed a lot of steps, but Jian Li was far behind him.

Once Xu Ning surpassed Chu Yeyang, he would get closer and closer to her.

Therefore, Jian Li hoped that Chu Yeyang could hurt Xu Ning.

‘I’m finally on the twenty-first step.’

Xu Ning felt the pressure spiking again.

This time, not only was his mental state tested, but his body could also feel the pressure of gravity.

‘It’s getting harder and harder… But fortunately, I can still bear it.’

Xu Ning adjusted himself and walked towards the twenty-second step.

Chu Yeyang had been waiting there for a long time.
