Chapter 401: Unveiling the Heavenly Stairs!

"The Heavenly Stairs!"

Su Yi gazed upon the towering Heavenly Stairs, which rose up like a mountain that had its peak shaved off, surrounded on all sides by neat blue stone steps.

In the midst of this dense crowd, Su Yi couldn't help feeling a boiling sensation in his heart.

After all, Su Yi was a young person, and this grand event also moved Su Yi's thoughts.

At this moment, Su Yi also wanted to know how far he could go on the Heavenly Stairs!

"On the Heavenly Stairs, there are a total of seven levels. The first level has seven hundred steps, the second level has six hundred steps, and the third level has five hundred steps. When it reaches the Seventh Level, there are only one hundred steps. But the higher it goes, the greater the pressure will be. It not only tests talent but also tests fighting power. It will be a comprehensive test. If you can step on the fourth level, you will be considered passing and there is a great hope of becoming an inner disciple."

Xu Jiahui knew that this was Su Yi's first time here on the Heavenly Stairs, and told him everything. At this moment, her eyes were also full of nervousness.

The outer disciples among them must set foot on the fourth level, which represents having the talent of a Commander Grade, in order to have a chance to become inner disciples.

"Comprehensive testing!"

Su Yi's eyes moved. When he was in Man City, Wang Quande of the Scared Mountain tested him for having four attributes, which made him eligible as a servant.

However, the Heavenly Stairs was a comprehensive test, which included battle power, whether he could step on it or not, or if the Heavenly Stairs were like the Yuan Testing Stone and determined him to be a servant.

Although Su Yi didn't care how his talent would be recognized when he reached the Heavenly Stairs.

Throughout the journey, Su Yi was well aware of his qualifications as a servant, but he was also somewhat eager to find out.

"It is him, Su Yi, the outer disciple of the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak!"

"Is he the one who defeated Jian Shiyi? Then why is he here at the Heavenly Stairs?"

"It seems that he is indeed an outer disciple, otherwise he wouldn't need to come for the Heavenly Stairs test."

Soon, Su Yi was recognized.

On the day in front of the Divine Sword Cliff, there were many disciples who witnessed Su Yi defeating Jian Shiyi with their own eyes.

"Swish, swish..."

Gazes shot towards Su Yi, curious in scrutiny.

Those outer disciples who had never witnessed Su Yi defeating Jian Shiyi, looked at him with astonishment and doubt.

Is it true that this seemingly insignificant youth possesses the strength to defeat Jian Shiyi, who ranks 15th in the Sword Tower?

Many nearby disciples looked on at Su Yi and Zhang Qing, their expressions well-meaning, some nodding and smiling.

"Come over here, this spot is good!"

A disciple spoke and helped move Zhang Qing, Xu Jiahui, and others to a new spot.

At this moment, among the dense crowd, it was really difficult to find a good spot to stand.

"Thank you."

Zhang Qing smiled subtly and was never before treated so courteously by anyone.

Of course, Zhang Qing was fully aware that all of this was probably due to Su Yi.

They were only basking in Su Yi's glory, otherwise, no one would have treated the disciples of the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak with such courtesy.

It seemed that the time had not yet come, as disciples were still rushing in from all directions, and the cacophony of voices around converged into a deafening din that echoed to the sky.

Below the Heavenly Stairs, there are several stewards from the Divine Sword School and older disciples maintaining order, waiting for the opening of the Heavenly Stairs.

In the distance of the Heavenly Stairs, there is a peak shrouded in clouds and mist.

At this moment, on top of this mountain, there are two figures whose intangible breaths seem to freeze the surrounding void entirely.

These two individuals are the leader of the Divine Sword School sect, Situ Liuyun, and the Right Dharma Protector.

"It seems that many elders are not paying attention to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, but rather to the Heavenly Stairs." Right Dharma Protector's gaze swept from afar, with a faint smile on his face.

"The direct disciples have not yet entered the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. While some of the inner disciples may have outstanding performances, it is not enough for the elders to pay attention to. However, in today's Heavenly Stairs, there are probably many people who want to know how far Su Yi can step."

Situ Liuyun said softly, looking at the Heavenly Stairs far away, his eyes also filled with anticipation.

"Su Yi has such astounding power at such a young age, truly remarkable. I too would like to know what kind of heights he will be able to achieve!" Right Dharma Protector exclaimed.

Given Su Yi's performance at the Divine Sword School, it was indeed too astonishing, so much so that it caught the attention of all the elders.

...

As time slowly passed, the sound of discussions grew louder and finally converged into a clamor that rose to the heavens in front of the Heavenly Stairs.

"It is almost time, all disciples must remain quiet!"

Suddenly, a voice was heard, coming from in front of the Heavenly Stairs, where an old man spoke. Though not loud, his voice was clear enough to be heard by everyone.

The old man was surrounded by several disciples in armor, their eyes sharp as lightning, disciplined and accomplished in maintaining order in front of the Heavenly Stairs.

The clamor in the surroundings immediately ceased and everyone became poised.

The gazes immediately turned towards the Heavenly Stairs, and the atmosphere in the room became incredibly tense and silent.

"On the Heavenly Stairs, you must exert your full effort. This is a test for your five-year time. Those who reach the fourth level will have a spatial portal directly to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords."

The old man scanned his surroundings, his eyes half-closed and filled with sharp brilliance.

"Boom!"

As the old man's voice fell, the void suddenly quivered, and the Heavenly Stairs in front of them shook. Then a bright light filled the surrounding area, and the whole place was permeated with ancient runes, as if it had come to life.

"Clatter clatter..."

In an instant, the Heavenly Stairs shimmered with a halo of divine light, as if encircled by a radiant sun, vying for brilliance with the morning sun.

A grandiose aura immediately swept across the ancient and boundless earth.

"The Heavenly Stairs have opened!"

Many disciples clenched their fists secretly, with their blood boiling inside.

This is the trial they have undergone during their five years in Divine Sword School. If they can step onto the fourth floor, they will be able to enter the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, which made them feel incredibly excited.

Once they enter the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, they will have the chance to fight side by side with inner disciples and even direct disciples.

Even if they lose a battle against inner disciples and direct disciples, it will still be an unimaginable glory in their future.

Liu Yunchuan and Yun Lingfeng, among other monstrous beings, will enter the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. Even if they were defeated on the battlefield, it would still be considered an honorable and prestigious accomplishment.

Decades later, when Liu Yunchuan, Yun Lingfeng, and other disciples have become legendary top powerhouses, they will proudly tell others that they were once peers with Liu Yunchuan in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. It would be a glorious achievement to have fought alongside them when they were young!

"If you are strong enough, you will have the opportunity to become an inner disciple, or even a direct disciple. Five years ago, you fell short, but today, on your return, you have the chance to rise to the top. Your performance today will determine whether you can succeed or not!"

The old man continued to speak, his body emitting a subtle and fluctuating aura, his voice thunderous.
