958 Ladder Competition, Unyielding Young Man’s Will
To be honest, Ye Qiu was indeed a little unkind this time. He knew it himself.
However, this was not important! Because Qi Wuhui lacked this opportunity, he did it. It was that simple. Daoist Tianfeng had also done Qi Wuhui an honor and helped him. The two of them looked at each other in silence. Ye Qiu didn’t add insult to injury. He looked at each other and remained silent before turning around.
“Haha, interesting! Qi Wuhui? He’s quite a genius. Unfortunately, this path is even more difficult than you think. I wonder how far you can go.”
In the silence, Xiao Jinse, who had been silent for a long time, finally cast a surprised gaze. After a wave of admiration, he did not continue speaking.
Ye Qiu glanced at him, not knowing what this master and disciple wanted to do. He pondered for a moment and ignored them.
No matter what, this farce was over! Qi Wuhui had also gained a lot.
“Qingzhu, bring your Martial Uncle down to recuperate. The Stairway to Heaven Competition has begun. You should prepare too.”
Lin Qingzhu nodded. The Stairway to Heaven Competition was the highlight of this grand event. It was also the most sacred existence in the hearts of the various factions, as well as the forbidden land, inner sect, outer sect, laborers, and many other disciples.
That was a heavenly staircase that kept climbing. It symbolized honor and status. Only by climbing higher could one obtain everyone’s respect.
In this grand meeting, Ye Qiu chose two different paths to reach the top for Lin Qingzhu and Linglong.
The first was the Stairway to Heaven Competition chosen by Lin Qingzhu. The second was the Point-based Competition chosen by Linglong.
The Stairway to Heaven Competition was not just a battle! There were also many tests, such as understanding of the Dharmic Dao of Heaven and Earth, comprehension, and various mental demons.
Linglong knew nothing about Dharmic Dao. She was clearly not suitable to take this path, but it was not a big problem. If she couldn’t go up the Stairway to Heaven, she could just go for the Point-based Competition.
The Point-based Competition was a path of continuous battle. In layman’s terms, as long as one fought, they could reach the top. Fighting happened to be Linglong’s favorite thing. Therefore, this path was clearly tailor-made for her.
Without a doubt, Linglong would choose to walk the path of the Point-based Competition. As for Yaya!
Just like Linglong, she also liked to fight and was a militant. Fortunately, her current cultivation level was only at the Perfected Immortal realm, so she could not collide with Linglong.
The first day of the competition was very simple. It was also very boring. Apart from Linglong’s battle at the beginning and Qi Wuhui’s explosive performance later, the rest of the competition was boring.
The true show was yet to begin. The real show would begin on the last day of the Stairway to Heaven and the Point-based Competition. This was because the last day was for all the stunning performances of the various peaks, forbidden lands, inner sect, outer sect, and labor disciples.
They could choose to challenge an expert who had been famous for a long time and had an extremely high status and great prestige.
Among them was the Heaven Mending Deity. The Heaven Mending Saintess, the Heaven Mending Goddess, and the chief disciples of the various peaks, such as Xiao Jinse. Not only that, the final battle for the successor of the Heaven Mending Goddess would also be chosen on that day.
Ye Qingxuan and the others were disciples of the forbidden land. They did not belong to any faction, so on the last day, they would also challenge others. If they won, they could replace their status and honor.
For example, if Ye Qingxuan or Ling Tian challenged Ye Qiu and won, they could become the Heaven Mending Deity and squeeze Ye Qiu off the altar. They didn’t care about honor, status, power, stairs, or points. What they really cared about was how to squeeze Ye Qiu off the altar and successfully reach the top.
Ye Qiu naturally knew what they were thinking, but he was a little puzzled. Why is everyone staring at me? Is there no one who wants to challenge Ming Yue? Can’t they just try?
Clearly, their fear of Ming Yue was already carved into their bones. These so-called geniuses present were heaven’s choice. In the early days, they had almost been beaten up by Ming Yue. They had even suffered a trauma. Therefore, they were very calm about challenging Ming Yue. They didn’t even have this thought.
One had to know that back then, when Ming Yue first became famous, she was abnormally fierce. She was an existence that could attack without making a sound. In the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, all the so-called golden descendants and Monarch’s bloodline nobles had been beaten up by her.
Even a passing dog would be slapped.
Therefore, it was impossible to challenge Ming Yue. Absolutely impossible. Don’t even think about it. Compared to Ye Qiu’s position as the Deity, Ming Yue’s position as the saintess was very stable. Even if she didn’t even want that position anymore, no one dared to accept it.
Of course, Ye Qiu didn’t care about this. Since so many people weren’t convinced by him, it was good. They could come together! He would beat him until they submitted.
Since there was nothing to do, Ye Qiu brought Qi Wuhui back to Violet Cloud Training Hall to recuperate.
Lin Qingzhu had already gone to the Stairways to Heaven, while Yaya and Linglong stayed in the Seven Stars Hall to prepare for the upcoming Point-based Competition.
What Ye Qiu, who left the Seven Stars Hall, didn’t know was that at this moment, the Stairway to Heaven Competition had already begun.
At this moment, on the Stairway to Heaven, a dark-skinned youth with firm eyes was constantly climbing towards the highest peak. Even the elder who presided over the Stairway to Heaven looked over in surprise. All his attention seemed to be attracted to him.
“Unbelievable, simply unbelievable!”
“It’s hard to imagine that a young man in his weakest years actually has such perseverance to reach this step in the face of this heavy pressure.”
“If it were an ordinary person, they would have given up long ago, right? What supported him to this point?”
The elders discussed animatedly, incomparably shocked. Ever since the Stairway to Heaven began, be it the servants, outer sect, or inner sect, many stunning disciples had appeared.
However, the only person who could truly attract their attention was the youth in front of them. He was not considered handsome. In fact, he looked very ordinary. He looked like an honest person.
However, his Dao Heart was so firm. Not only that, his tenacity was even more shocking. From the initial Heart Questioning Pass to the Terror Pass and the Mental Demons, he displayed an incomparably tenacious fighting spirit.
Not only that, his answer sheet had almost reached full marks. It could be seen how shocking his performance was. This was also the reason why so many elders came to watch. It was because he was too outstanding and was a labor disciple.
According to the rules of the Stairway to Heaven competition, if these disciples with stunning performance did not have a master, they could choose to take them in after the climb ended.
Therefore, the young man at this moment had already become the most popular person in the eyes of many people. The young man clearly knew this too, but his heart was incomparably firm.
He gritted his teeth and continued to climb the Gravity Heavenly Ladder. He said in a trembling tone, “No, I definitely can’t fall. I can’t let Senior down! Zhang Shanfeng, you can do it! The path to change your fate is right in front of you. You can’t fall, you can’t…”
