Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1198 - 528: They’re All Here (Part 2)

Xu Qingqiu shook his head, showing a solemn expression: "The heritage of this mountain gate must also be very strong."

"Just these trials and the final test here are already very powerful!"

"Yes, I hope Master Ning can make it up!"

The Nine-tailed Cat looked towards the mountain.

At this moment, Ning Qi was resting on a stone step.

Obviously, the pressure here was making it a bit unbearable for him.

"Master, if you can’t hold on, come down!"

Medicine Spirit saw this and shouted towards the mountain.

"He already has no option to turn back."

"The next stage will be halfway up the path!"

"If he doesn’t come down this time, he either reaches the mountain top, or..."

Xu Qingqiu’s words stopped abruptly here.

He did not continue.

But everyone was very clear about what it meant to abandon both chances.

"Master, you must persist!"

Medicine Spirit started cheering and encouraging Ning Qi.

"Look, someone’s coming!"

At this time, the Nine-tailed Fox was looking at the rear.

Quite a few people had emerged from different canyons after completing the test.

Looking at it this way, there were dozens of people, but this was just the beginning.

As one group emerged, another batch quickly followed, coming out together.

"This is bad, so many people, Master has competitors now!"

Medicine Spirit looked at these people and couldn’t help but say.

"Master!"

Xu Qingqiu’s eyes suddenly lit up, seeing a few familiar figures.

It was her mentor Wang Zhengqian.

And her martial uncle, Wang Zhengxiong.

At the back, there was a young man, her senior brother Gao Yunze.

A few people in the distance also noticed her.

Thus, with a group of disciples behind them, they quickly rushed over here.

If Ning Qi were here, he would surely recognize a few people at first glance.

Among them was the martial uncle he had conflicts with.

And there were also a few senior brothers and sisters he had met before.

These people had also gradually arrived.

"Master!"

Xu Qingqiu saw Wang Zhengqian coming over and respectfully went forward to greet him.

"Why are you here? We had such a hard time looking for you!"

Wang Zhengqian looked at her and couldn’t help but ask.

"Master, I came here earlier to check out the situation and found this continent."

"Then, I discovered this Trial Land here and came over!"

Xu Qingqiu kept it short, explaining her experiences over the past few days to her master in just two sentences.

"What is going on here?"

Wang Zhengxiong looked ahead and couldn’t help but ask: "What is the person on the mountain doing?"

"Martial Uncle, this is an entrance trial!"

"This stone step is the final gate!"

"As long as you reach the mountain top, you can become a direct disciple of this Sect!"

Xu Qingqiu looked at the few people and continued: "We’ve already tried it; I could only reach seventy or eighty steps up before it was impossible."

"Oh? Becoming a direct disciple would mean gaining the heritage here, wouldn’t it?"

Wang Zhengxiong’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Let me see how it’s described!"

Wang Zhengqian nodded and then went to the stele: "Tsk, it’s ancient script, but I understand it!"

"Let me see what’s going on!"

"I’m coming!"

"..."

As he went to check the situation, more and more people gradually arrived.

"Martial Uncle, how did you get here so quickly?"

Xu Qingqiu was somewhat puzzled, looking at the people in front: "Wasn’t there still a large area you hadn’t explored?"

"It’s been over half a month; we finished exploring long ago!"

Gao Yunze came over, looked at her and said: "We found that many people came here, so we followed along!"

"When you came in, what trials did you encounter?"

Xu Qingqiu looked at him curiously and asked.

She wanted to see if they encountered the same things.

"We encountered a Flaming Mountain and a swamp!"

"And also glaciers!"

Gao Yunze listened to her question and couldn’t help but curiously look at her, "Junior Sister, what did you encounter?"

"So they really are different; we encountered Cannibal Trees and some moving dense forests!"

Xu Qingqiu listened to his words and earnestly said: "I think the different canyons we went to had different outcomes!"

"Exactly!"

Wang Zhengxiong replied looking at the stone steps ahead: "But the final result is all the same."

"We ultimately all come here to go up and trial!"

"Master, should we try it?"

Gao Yunze became somewhat curious, his eyes looking at the stone steps above, already eager to try.

"You don’t need to go up, these stone steps are dangerous."

"There’s only one chance to come down; if you want to descend again, you have to reach halfway!"

"Junior Brother, let’s go try it!"

"If we reach halfway, we’ll enter the Inner Sect, see what rewards there might be!"

"A Sect of this level, the rewards must be very generous!"

At this time, Wang Zhengqian returned, looking at Wang Zhengxiong and said.

"Okay! Then let’s go up, you all wait here for us!"

Wang Zhengxiong nodded in agreement and then turned towards the direction of the stone steps: "I want to go up and see what treasures are there."

"Martial Uncle, be careful, I couldn’t even reach a hundred steps!"

Xu Qingqiu saw that they were going up to try and quickly reminded them.

"It’s just because your strength isn’t enough!"

Wang Zhengqian glanced at her: "But I will be careful, you just wait here for us to come down!"

"Alright!"

Xu Qingqiu agreed and watched the two ascend.

After they went up, more and more people gradually came.

After knowing the situation here respectively, some then climbed up together.

Gradually, more people were on the stone steps above.

Some people gave up after walking just over ten steps.

Some persevered for dozens of steps.

And those at the True Immortal Ninth Grade or even Heavenly Immortal level continued upwards.

By now, Ning Qi had already walked about two hundred steps.

He even turned around and looked down.

Finding many people had come up following him.

However, they were slower, and though some were faster, compared to him, they were still very slow.

"None of them know about Three Thousand Waters and Water Pattern Dao Rhyme."

"If they want to catch up with me, unless there exists someone with power beyond the Golden Immortal level."

"From what I see now, there is no such powerful expert here."

Ning Qi felt very assured that he wouldn’t be overtaken by them.

If he failed, then it was up to them.

But as long as he had the ability to go up, remaining far ahead was safer.

Thinking of this, Ning Qi continued to ascend.

"Whew!"

"Buzz!"

Next, he climbed over twenty steps in one breath.

Finally collapsing on the stone steps, breathing heavily.

At this time, his clothes were already soaked through.

It wasn’t just sweat, but mixed with blood.

Making his entire attire stick to him while he rested.

Making him feel very uncomfortable.

However, there were too many people below, and he was embarrassed to take off his clothes.

"My bones are about to break! If it weren’t for the prior bout with the Three Thousand Waters array."

"I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to hold on."

Ning Qi took a breath, then sat cross-legged to sense the change in surrounding pressure.

By now, it was completely different from the foot of the mountain.

This stage was no longer about Sword Aura pressure but had become the pressure of heavy hammers.

Each time, it felt like countless heavy hammers, pounding hard on his body.

Making his bones constantly creak.

Nevertheless, Ning Qi refused to admit defeat.

He insisted on enduring until now.

It wasn’t that he was not resisting, he was circulating his Water Pattern Dao Rhyme while climbing.

Resisting the pressure attack here.

Under the resistance and infiltration of Water Pattern, the pressure eased a lot.

Otherwise, his bones would have been crushed by now.
