Sima You Yue watched Tuoba Han’s impressionable self and curiously asked,
What is it?


Little brother Sima, have you ever heard of Heavenly Tower?
Tuoba Han stared up at the clo
Heavenly Tower?
Sima You Yue pondered before shaking her head.
Little brother has recently arrived from the lower continent. I haven’t heard of it before.

She really didn’t know. In the past as Ximen’s Young Miss, she had been busy with cultivation. She didn’t think much of the world outside. It was normal that she didn’t know a lot.



Heavenly Tower, according to legends is on top of a tall mountain. If a person can reach the top of the Heavenly Tower, they can become the Heavenly master. But in the ten hundred thousand years, no one can reach the top of the tower.
Tuoba Han explained.
Sima You Yue never expected such a place to exist. Seeing him looked at the stairway, she inquired,
Are you referring to this place?


This stairway is known as Heavenly Stairway. It has nine thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine steps. If you can walk through them, you’ll arrive at the Heavenly Tower.
Tuoba Han continued.
But in the period of ten thousands years, the best record is eight thousand steps.

Sima You Yue glanced at the stone steps that hadn’t disappeared into the clouds and was suspicious towards Tuoba Han’s words. Could one walk through Heavenly Stairway into the heavens? Why did it sounded so incredulous?
Ouyang Fei on one side voiced her question.
Tuoba Han chuckled.
In fact, it is not to say that walking through the Heavenly Stairway, people can achieve to that extent, rather that the more talented and powerful people are, the higher they can go. Those who can walk on the Heavenly Staircase has to have excellent talent.

So, it was like that. They had thought they could become gods by walking through the Heavenly Stairway!

Han, we should set off.
Wang Kai told Tuoba Han.
Tuoba Han observed quite a lot of people have gone up, diffusing across the stone steps. If they went up, it wouldn’t be crowded at all.

Do you want to go together?
Tuoba Yan Er asked.



We’ll wait a bit longer.
Sima You Yue declined.

Then we’ll be going.
Tuoba Yan Er and her party went up the stone steps. Only Sima You Yue and her party were left watching people scattered all over the stone steps.

How can this road measure how far a person is on the path of cultivation?
Fatty Qu didn’t understand.

The world is large. There are many things that we cannot interpret.
Sima You Yue answered. 
Let’s go, we should also go up.

As soon as they stepped on the stairway, they understood why those people were walking so slowly. An invisible pressure pushed against them, making every step so difficult.
Sima You Yue also felt the pressure, but not as hard as everyone else. However, her steps also weren’t fast. She wasn’t far from Wei Zi Qi and the rest, only by a few steps.
At first, Wei Zi Qi, Bei Gong Tang, and the rest didn’t see it as difficult. But as they forged upwards, the pressure became greater. They felt a bit strenuous.
Sima You Yue gradually walked upwards. Slowly only stairs were in her vision. A voice in her head urged her to go up, go up…
She surpassed the people in front of her one by one. Her companions were also left behind by her. There weren’t many people in front of her. She saw their figures and knew they were from the inner regions.

This person is amazing. He already surpassed us so rapidly!
A person sighed deeply as they watched Sima You Yue forged onwards without the least pressure.



Who is that person walking so rapidly. Can he reach the summit?

Some people caught sight of her in deep thought, absorbed in her own pace.
She also surpassed Mu Lin and Wang Kai, which made them surprised. They observed little sweat on her forehead, unlike them who were panting.
A thousand steps…two thousand steps…she was self-absorbed, oblivious to everyone else’s astonishment.
All of a sudden, her head felt hot, and she recovered from her previous state. Thinking of how she appeared moments ago mad her afraid. Her strength was too low right now. If she shows her talent, it’s not good to be afraid. If she exposed her talents, it would only be meddlesome.

Crimson Flame, thank you.
She murmured to herself.

Mm.
Crimson Flame softly replied.
She glanced back. She was ahead of Bei Gong Tang and the party by a thousand step. Therefore, she sat down.
A thousand stone steps. They used a day to catch up, while the majority of the people never reached this high. Of course, there were people who caught up and surpassed her.
After gathering up, they continued to walk up until they reached the clouds, where the people below could no longer be seen.


Looking up, there were some dozens of people in front of them. They estimated that their scores should be able to pass the examination, so they no longer had the mind to continue.

How many steps did we go.
Fatty Qu gasped.

Almost six thousand.
Sima You Lin replied.

How did you know?


At every thousand steps, there is a little word on the stone steps indicating so.

There’s such a thing? Fatty Qu didn’t pay attention. But he didn’t expect that they would all arrived here. Before Tuoba Han said that the best record in ten thousand years was only eight thousand, so their score was pretty good.
Moreover, they didn’t use any external help, they only relied on their internal spiritual energy.

Should we continue?
Ouyang Fei asked.

There are still many people in front of us. It won’t be too conspicuous to stroll further.
Sima You Ran spoke.

We can walk further.
Sima You Yue also approved.


As a result, everyone continued onward, and they surpassed these people again. But Sima You Le and Sima You Ming couldn’t move the seven thousandth, while Sima You Qi and Fatty Qu stopped in the seven thousand five hundredth.
Sima You Yue and the rest looked ahead and several people, which included Tuoba Han, Canglang Li, and the girl who began first. They surpassed eight thousand steps, better than the previous record.

We should stop here.
Sima You Yue stopped at the eight thousandth step.

Brother, we can still continue, why stop?
Little Tu questioned.
Sima You Yue rubbed Little Tu’ head.
If we surpassed them, we will receive more attention than others. Knowing our talent is exceptional, some people will not let us grow up. They’ll think we are a threat. So if we want to continue, we can when no one is around.


Little Tu understands.
Little Tu nodded.

Then let’s go down.
Bei Gong Tang who also approved to not continue suggested.

No rush, let’s watch.
Sima You Yue observed the several silhouettes in front.
They can be considered the best of our generation. Let’s see how far they can go.

In the end, an unknown male stopped at the nine thousand steps, while that girl stopped at nine thousand two hundred. Tuoba Han stopped at nine thousand three hundred, while Canglang Li stopped at nine thousand five hundred – five hundred steps away from the Heavenly Tower.
He flashed his fierce eyes, yet he could no longer advance.
When they all gave up, a silvery light flashed through them and disappeared at the summit of the steps.

We should go back.
Sima You Yue prepared to descend the mountain. Suddenly, there was a commotion inside her interspatial ring. When she checked, it was the Emperor Qing Dao’s Heavenly Halberd from the auction.
When the Heavenly Halberd was taken out, it slipped from her control. It whooshed upwards and entered the loft at the hilltop.
