C2848 I'll Wait for You on the Ninth Step

I'll be waiting for you on the ninth step.

"This year's batch of trial disciples are going to use the Heaven Ascending Nine Stairs. Let's hurry up and join in the fun. I heard that there are seven great Immortal Lord that are the most favored. We'll be able to reach the ninth step!"

The Heavenly Dao disciples of the various large families, regardless of their cultivation base, all walked out from their families' secret realms and headed towards the location of the Heaven Ascending Nine Stairs in the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

There was less than an ancient gap between the last trial. This time, the trial suddenly began again. Even if they didn't receive any news, many people still felt that something was wrong. In addition, they had heard that an ancient immortal, Daneng, had escaped from his imprisonment and disappeared without a trace. It made them feel as if a storm was coming.

However, they didn't know that not long ago, an even more terrifying ancient immortal Daneng had broken the seal. However, this news had been completely sealed off. Anyone below the Sovereign realm had no right to know about it.

Heaven Dao Pavilion was like a world with its own system, but also like an endless giant city. It was very vast, even the buildings were endless. With the speed of the immortals, they flew for the time it took to make a cup of tea. Just arrived at the fourth stage of the trial.

It was a super square that was more than ten times bigger than the square where everyone was previously at. The ground was paved with white jade stones. As soon as they stepped into this place, they felt that the surrounding Immortal Spirit Qi had become extremely viscous and solidified. Everyone subconsciously opened up the pores all over their bodies and madly absorbed the Immortal Spirit Qi in this place.

What caused everyone to be shocked was that when all of them absorbed the spirit energy in this place, the effect it had on this place was less than one in ten thousand! From this, it could be seen how terrifying the spiritual energy here was!

In front of everyone, there was an incomparably wide white-jade staircase. Everyone immediately thought of the Heaven Ascending Nine Stairs that Ji Xuanling and the others had mentioned, including Ning Qi, and began to carefully examine it.

This white jade staircase was divided into nine sections. Each section was made up of dense steps. The last section was connected to a tall mountain, and everyone could vaguely see it. There was a statue and a palace on the tall mountain, and the face of the statue... It was shrouded in mist and couldn't be seen clearly.

More and more people gathered around the square. They were curious and proud as they looked at the crowd, as if they were born with a sense of superiority.

"This is a Heaven Ascending Nine Stairs. I believe you all already know the rules. Anyone who can walk up the first step will be an outer circle disciple of the Heavenly Dao family. If you can get to the fourth step, you can become an inner circle disciple of the Heavenly Dao family. If you can reach the seventh step, not only will you be given the family name, but also the family name. Those below the Xuan Immortal level can enter the Dao Fruit Secret Realm, and those above the Xuan Immortal level will be rewarded. If you can walk up the ninth step, then the Immortal Emperor will take you as his disciples. "

Ji Xuanling said lightly.

Everyone's eyes were burning.

After going through so much hardship, they finally arrived at this stage.

This stage determined everyone's future. It was very important. Almost everyone set their sights on at least the fourth step.

Outer disciples were obviously not very important, and they had to at least become inner disciples. If they could reach the seventh step, that would be even better!

"With the cultivation base as the order, I'll go first with the Immortal Lord."

Ji Xuanling said faintly.

Bai Di's eyes moved slightly and he exchanged glances with the other six Immortal Lord. Then, he walked towards the white-jade stairs. Lyu Yuan and the other Immortal Sovereigns looked at Bai Di and the others indifferently. As for Chiang Yuv, Chiang Hao, and Meng Dangkong, they did not focus their attention on them. Instead, they would look at Ning Qi from time to time.

"Those seven people are the ones with the highest chance of climbing the ninth step in this year's competition."

"I wonder which family they will join in the end. With the resources of the outside world, those who can cultivate to the level of Immortal Lord are all first-class Heavenly Prodigy."

"Hehe, so what if they are first-class? Aren't they going to join our Heavenly Dao family?"

"That's right!"

More and more people gathered around. Although these disciple from the Heavenly Dao families who had rushed over to watch the show admired the White Emperor's group of seven, however, their words seemed very reserved. For the sake of his status as a disciple from the Heavenly Dao family... And they were proud!

Very quickly, the six Immortal Lords had already stepped onto the first step to the heavens. Their speed was neither fast nor slow, as if they were not obstructed at all.

Bai Di suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Ning Qi. The corners of his mouth curled up, "Mr. Ning, I'll wait for you on the ninth step."

After saying that, the White Emperor walked onto the first step.

"Hmm?"

Everyone followed Bai Di's gaze and looked at Ning Qi. When they found out that Ning Qi was only an Early Period of Profound Immortal Stage, their expressions changed slightly.

"Who is this kid? A mere Early Period of Profound Immortal Stage, does he have the chance to climb to the ninth step?"2

"As a Late Period of Immortal Lord Stage, since Bai Di thinks he has the chance, this kid shouldn't be as simple as he appears to be."

"You guys don't know yet, right? Meng Qi's Immortal Lord was killed by this kid, and Ji Wangu has already decided to take him as her disciple. It shouldn't be surprising for such a monstrous genius to climb to the ninth step, right?"

"What?! There's such a thing? "

The people who came later were shocked.

Before long, the news of Ning Qi killing Meng Qi spread like wildfire. It spread like wildfire among the disciple from the Heavenly Dao family groups.

The disciples of the Meng Family had ugly expressions on their faces. Their eyes were filled with deep hostility as they looked at Ning Qi. The disciples of the other eight families were shocked and curious. They couldn't figure it out. How did a mere Early Period of Profound Immortal Stage kill a Late Period of Immortal Lord Stage?

"Hmph! Stepping onto the ninth step? That's easy to say. The Heaven Ascending Nine Stairs has existed since ancient times, and it doesn't matter how high or low his cultivation base is. Even if he obtains the Divine Mountain Essence and gets some great fortune, he might not be able to climb up the ninth step! "

When the Meng Clan Immortal Lord heard the White Emperor's words, they looked over at Ning Qi, and couldn't help but smile coldly.

They still regarded Ning Qi as a lucky person who had obtained a great opportunity, just like how he was a poor person in the slums. Suddenly getting a windfall, could it be compared to those big landlords who relied on themselves to make a big fortune step by step? Impossible!

Not long after, when the seven Immortal Lords walked through the first step together, everyone shifted their attention away from Ning Qi once again and landed on the seven people.

The second step.

The third step.

Fourth step.

The seven of them walked with ease. Many of the trial disciples were envious seeing this. Those who were able to reach this stage were at least qualified to be inner disciples.

Soon, the seven of them reached the fifth and sixth steps. The seventh step. However, apart from the White Emperor, there was no other way. The faces of the other six Immortal Lord turned pale. Their pace gradually slowed down. Not long after... The six of them drew a very long distance away from Bai Di. When Bai Di reached the eighth step and headed for the ninth step... The six of them continued struggling between the seventh and eighth steps.

"Pff!"

One of the Immortal Lord suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he quickly retreated back to the seventh step. His expression was dispirited, and a trace of unwillingness flashed across his eyes.
