C393 Climbing column
The middle-aged man pointed to the ten pillars of clouds behind Ye Xiao and the rest, and said, "These ten pillars of clouds are the competition you will be facing next.
Ye Xiao and the rest turned around and looked at the cloud pillar behind them. On the blue stone cloud pillar, were carvings of all sorts of cloud patterns and all sorts of runes. As the middle-aged man spoke, the runes on the cloud pillar gradually changed and floated out one by one. They circled around the green stone pillar, forming a tall staircase.
Looking up, this pillar of clouds was at least thousands of feet high. The top of the pillar rose straight into the clouds.
A disciple of Youth asked the middle-aged man: "Can fighting on this cloud pillar?"
Immediately, everyone's gaze fell upon the middle-aged man. The man smiled and replied, "If you want to set foot on the edge of this world, how can it be so smooth?" The meaning behind his words was very clear.
Ten Cloud Pillars, only allowed ten people to reach the top. The twenty Youth s had to try their best to get close to each other. Immediately, the harmonious and burning aura was extinguished and the twenty Youth s couldn't help but slightly move, maintaining a distance from the disciples around them. Now, everyone was a competitor, someone who stepped onto the cloud pillar and won.
"Alright, now everyone can begin their climb, we will wait and see who will obtain the Teenage Saints's name!" When the middle-aged man finished speaking, he retreated to the side and looked at the twenty Youth s from afar.
When the twenty Youth s heard this, the fire in their eyes became a little stronger, but no one moved. It was obvious that no one wanted to be the bird that stuck its head out.
The solemn atmosphere continued for close to a quarter of an hour. Suddenly, a Youth stepped forward and walked towards one of the pillars: "Since no one dares to step forward, then let me take the first pillar!"
Everyone looked over, it was the sissy Swordsman. This Swordsman was the first ranked disciple of the Seed and his cultivation was the highest among almost everyone present. Although they did not encounter any real expert fights along the way, the results of his victories all the way made everyone feel extremely fearful. Moreover, what was even more frightening was that no matter if it was an opponent from the Yuan Sect or the King Yuan, no one would be able to defend against this one sword strike from the Swordsman. This was sufficient to prove the tyranny of the Swordsman.
Swordsman stepped forward, instantly arriving in front of the cloud pillar. With a flash, he stepped onto a Symbol signet. The Symbol signet shone brightly, but the smile on Swordsman's face remained, as though it had no effect. The Swordsman stood on top of the Symbol signet, he did not ascend, nor did he make any movements.
Swish! Swish!
The two figures of Nangong Xiao and Ji Tianxie flashed out at the same time. The two expert s didn't compete with each other, looked at each other for a moment, and then, choosing a cloud pillar each, they stepped towards the floating Symbol signet.
The remaining seventeen disciples' hearts moved. Looking at the figures of the three Swordsman s, none of them dared to go forward and fight. It was clear that the pressure exerted by the three great expert s was too great.
Suddenly, no one knew who it was, and they once again came out from the crowd. With the movements of a disciple, everyone finally stopped being reserved, and one by one, they rushed forward.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
All the disciples on the cloud pillars stepped on the rune and were on high alert at the same time.
Some of them had two people on top of them, while some had even three people on top of them. These people were naturally not as relaxed as the three peak expert s.
Fortunately, the cloud pillar was two or three hundred meters wide, so each disciple was not too close, thus there was no need to start a war.
The rune Ye Xiao stepped into the side of the cloud pillar was first to look at his side, but discovered that a blood-robed youth with fierce eyes was looking at him in a rather sinister manner. Although Ye Xiao's performance was not bad, but in the midst of everyone, the cultivation of the ninth level of King Yuan gave off a very weak feeling. Compared to the others, he was much more confident in facing Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao frowned, but retracted his gaze, and refocused his attention on the Runes beneath his feet: As long as the opponent was not an idiot, there would be no need to start a fight.
Sure enough, after Ye Xiao retracted his gaze, this blood-robed youth slightly curled his lips and retracted his attention.
Stepping onto the rune, Ye Xiao gazed down, only to realize that the rune seemed real and intangible, it had some mysterious meaning. Within this rune, there was a very strange power that gradually attached itself to Ye Xiao's body, causing him to suddenly have a heavy feeling.
"This should be the Saint's pressure right?" Ye Xiao guessed.
Just then, many disciples started to walk up, Ye Xiao looked at the countless Runes and walked up.
Once he stepped on the first step again, that mysterious power immediately increased by a few degrees. Although the increase was extremely minute, to the point where it basically had no effect on Ye Xiao, but if this kind of power continued to increase, then in the end, it would definitely form an incomparably large pressure.
Ye Xiao was not anxious, he stopped moving and felt the increasing power. The speed was not slow at all. The few Swordsman s who were leading had almost already walked past the first one or two hundred steps. Even the blood-robed youth s with the same pillar of clouds as Ye Xiao had already stepped on six or seven stone steps.
Only Ye Xiao was still walking with his eyes closed. After every step he took, he only walked about twenty steps. Seeing this, the blood-robed youth laughed in disdain: If this continues, even if I don't stop Ye Xiao, I will be the first to reach the top.
The cloud pillar that Zhongli Jun was on was right next to him. watched him pause, his face revealing an urgent look. However, this cloud pillar was something that outsiders couldn't help him with.
"Eighth Brother, how is it? Hurry? " Zhongli Jun shouted lightly.
Ye Xiao was slightly startled, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhongli Jun, and then said: "Senior Brother, go first, I'll catch up shortly!" After saying that, he closed his eyes again, quietly feeling the pressure of this increase in strength with each step, his speed was incomparably calm.2
Zhongli Jun laughed bitterly, he did not know what exactly he was doing here. Although the pressure on the cloud pillar was gradually increasing, it should not be enough to affect Ye Xiao right now.
After almost two hours of time, the three leading Swordsman s had already stepped onto nearly a thousand steps, while the rest of the people were mostly at the fourth or fifth step. Only Ye Xiao had just stepped onto the ninety-ninth step.
Ye Xiao took a deep breath, and stepped onto the hundredth step. Suddenly, all the energy that was attached to Ye Xiao's body started to converge, causing his body to sink down abruptly.
