Chapter 2738: Not Recognizing The Other
“Is this the Immortal Ascension Ladder?” Feng Jiu viewed the spectacle in front of her with awe. She was astonished by how the ladder appeared to condense from the mist and descend from within the clouds in the sky.
“Yes, this is the Immortal Ascension Ladder.”
The old man spoke, his expression wavering slightly. After a moment, the Immortal Ascension Ladder that had materialised as though from the land of immortals was stretched to the earth, with one end reaching the ground while the other end was unseen as it was hidden inside the clouds of the sky.
While they were talking, someone took the first step up the Immortal Ascension Ladder, and a dozen cultivators swarmed up. Feng Jiu noticed cultivators at the level of Immortal Emperor among the dozen.
“I bid you farewell here, young friend.” The old man saluted Feng Jiu, informed his people, and then proceeded to the Immortal Ascension Ladder.
“Farewell, Young Master Jiu.” He Shu also said as he went towards the Immortal Ascension Ladder with his entourage.
As she saw their departure and was about to go, Feng Jiu caught a glimpse of a group approaching from the corner of her eye. When she had a clear look, she saw that the team consisted of Xie family members. Among them were Xie Yan and his father, Old Patriarch Xie. However, their group appeared exhausted. The journey had obviously not been easy.
“Father, it looks like we came at the right time because the Immortal Ascension Ladder has indeed appeared.” Xie Yan told his father. But as soon as the words left his lips, a scream was heard as a figure fell down the misty ladder. The man’s body was drenched in blood and he was on his last breath; as if his vital energy had been stripped away.
The people below, as well as the family group who had travelled together here, were taken aback by the scene. When they saw the man’s tragedy, their expressions changed. Was this the result of failing to climb the Immortal Ladder? This was a true battle with the heavens, putting one’s life in danger!
Because the man fell right in front of them, everyone in the Xie family looked a little unsightly. When he saw the cultivator’s plight, Xie Yan’s body trembled and he looked at his father. “Father, let me accompany you to go up the ladder! We do what we can, and as soon as we feel we can’t go up anymore, we’ll go down.”
Anyone who had been up the Immortal Ascension Ladder knew that a person’s strength would transform each time they went up a step above the one hundredth step. However, going beyond a hundred steps was difficult. Those who couldn’t take it would be knocked off the ladder.
The clan needed the help of the strong exponents, but they were too afraid to go themselves, so they sent the collateral line. However, many people of exceptional strength arrived. How could they not see that this Immortal Ascension Ladder was akin to a path leading to the King of Hell? If one did not proceed with caution, they would tumble from the sky to hell.
Thinking that his father’s visit was to compete with heaven, he couldn’t help but be concerned that his father would fall down the Immortal Ascension Ladder like the previous cultivator. That man went up alive, but he died on the way down…
......
Old Patriarch Xie breathed slowly and stated, “I have tried to climb the Immortal Ascension Ladder once. It is safe to climb below 100 metres. When you reach 100 metres, you can try going ten steps.”
He looked back and whispered, “Let’s go! How can you know if you can do something if you don’t try?”
When Xie Yan heard what his father said, he told his people to wait below while he and his father went to the immortal ladder. As they stepped towards the immortal ladder, though, a figure in red appeared in their path.
