Chen Qianxue and Qin Jiao were following closely behind the Nascent Soul stage cultivator. The three of them had been flying in the sky for an unknown amount of time. Finally, the Nascent Soul stage cultivator who had been flying at the front slowly descended.
Qin Jiao, who had followed closely behind, had a look of surprise in her beautiful eyes. “This is?!”
In front of her was a long flight of stairs.
This flight of stairs seemed to have been honed over a long period of time, and it was covered with all kinds of mottles.
It was even obvious that it was damaged. It made people wonder if stepping on it would cause a series of cracks?
However, if one observed it carefully, one would be even more surprised to find that this flight of stairs made of bluestone actually had an ancient and mysterious aura on it. This aura was hard to ignore.
“This is the Stairway to Heaven.” In Qin Jiao’s line of sight, there was only one back of the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Immortal Residence.
The voice of the other party sounded slightly old as he explained, “A million years ago, the ancestral master of the Immortal Residence sensed that the tribulation and Ascension was coming. He did not use his flying escape art to fly to the peak of the mountain to face the Lightning Tribulation.”
“Instead, he used his two legs to slowly climb up the peak of the mountain, which was hundreds of thousands of meters tall. With each step, the ancestral master gained enlightenment for a period of time. This was his path to Immortality.”
“Later, the other seniors of the Immortal Residence used various secret arts to build this path to Immortality into a bluestone staircase that led to the peak of the mountain.”
“This staircase has a history of more than a million years, and it will always be very special.”
The Nascent Soul stage cultivator paused for a moment. He came back to his senses and revealed an old face.
His expression did not change much. “Over the past million years, Heaven’s Favorites invited by the Immortal Residence have all walked this path of Immortal Ascension. Because this path has the Enlightenment left behind by the founder, for those Heaven’s Favorites who are very perceptive, this is a rare opportunity for enlightenment.”
After listening to him say so much, Qin Jiao roughly had an understanding. She said in surprise, “In other words, this bluestone staircase is equivalent to a special spirit tool? As long as you walk up, you will have the opportunity to give people an Epiphany?”
The Nascent Soul grand cultivator was startled, but he immediately replied, “You can indeed use this analogy, but it’s much more special than a spirit tool. Because stepping on this path to Immortality will bring risks.”
He reminded, “In the Immortal cultivation world, there are already no less than several hundred Heaven’s Favorites who have died on the stairs. The Enlightenment left behind by the Patriarch is not something that just anyone can comprehend.”
“The higher you go, the greater the danger. If the two Heaven’s Favorites really can’t take it anymore while walking on the path of Immortal Ascension, you can make a sound and ask me to bring the two of you down.”
“Those Heaven’s Favorites who died on the path of Immortal Ascension were too proud and didn’t want to ask for help.”
“In the end… Huh?!”
Before the Nascent Soul stage cultivator could finish his sentence, he suddenly widened his eyes. His calm expression was broken by the scene in front of him. He said in a daze, “You… Just stepped on it?!”
He watched as Qin Jiao curiously stepped on the so-called path of Immortal Ascension and took several steps up.
Then, she suddenly frowned. “There is indeed something special about it. When I walk on it, I can feel a kind of pressure out of nowhere… this kind of pressure is not only for the body, but also for the soul.”
Then, she said to Chen Qianxue excitedly, “Other than that, there doesn’t seem to be any other danger.”
Chen Qianxue put her hand on her forehead helplessly. “You really aren’t afraid of death at all!”
Then, the Nascent Soul stage cultivator was in a daze.
She also walked up.
After closing her eyes and feeling it for a while, Chen Qianxue also commented, “There is indeed a strange kind of pressure. He can leave his own enlightenment on a mountain path, and it has lasted for more than a hundred years without dissipating. This Immortal Residence’s Patriarch is many times stronger than that Daoist Blood Lotus.”
While evaluating, Chen Qianxue did not forget to whip the corpse of that Daoist Blood Lotus.
The two only exchanged a glance, and then walked higher without saying a word. They were both Golden Core stage Immortal cultivators, so this bit of oppression was nothing to them.
It was nothing at all.
However, their walking speed was not particularly fast. It was about the same speed as an ordinary person climbing a mountain, because they were trying to comprehend some of the insights left behind by the ancestor of the Immortal Residence.
When Chen Qianxue reached the 569th step, she suddenly stopped moving forward.
She closed her eyes, her face calm, as if she had fallen into a strange state.
Qin Jiao, who was standing beside her, was stunned. “She entered an Epiphany so quickly?!”
“Hiss!” She gasped. She knew very well how much benefit an Epiphany would bring to an Immortal cultivator.
If Chen Qianxue had an Epiphany a few times on this so-called path of Immortal Ascension, she would have broken through her cultivation realm in an instant.
Would that mean that Chen Qianxue would surpass her again?
No way!
This time, she was simulating Immortal cultivation. It was not easy for Qin Jiao to surpass Chen Qianxue, so she could not let Chen Qianxue surpass her again.
Qin Jiao tried hard to find a resonance, trying to enter the state of Epiphany.
However, it was useless.
She gritted her teeth. She could only continue to move up. She could only hope that the higher she went, the higher the chance of having an Epiphany.
Time passed…
Three days passed.
Chen Qianxue opened her eyes. The spiritual power in her body had increased by a large margin. This also made her aura very different from three days ago.
