Chapter 2027

A View of the Mountains

When Zhuo Wen reached the seventieth step, he clearly felt that the pressure was beginning to become terrifying.

However, in Zhuowen's Spiritual Space, over a hundred galaxies revolved at the same time. The terrifying Divine Consciousness completely neutralized the pressure from the Stairway to Heaven. Meanwhile, Zhuowen maintained his speed and continued to ascend.

When Zhuowen reached the 35th step, the pressure reached a terrifying level. Even Zhuowen did not dare to be careless. He finally slowed down, but it still could not stop him from continuing forward.

The moment Zhuowen stepped onto the 35th step, he saw a beautiful figure sitting cross-legged on the 45th step.

Under the lingering clouds, the beautiful figure was faintly discernible. However, Zhuowen could clearly see her iconic snow-white hair fluttering in the wind.

Chapter 772: Ascension

The beautiful figure had also discovered Zhuo Wen, who had stepped onto the 35th step. Due to the clouds, she was similarly unable to clearly see Zhuo Wen's appearance. She could only vaguely see that the person who had stepped onto the 35th step was a man.

"Lian Ze from the Qiankun Sect or Liang Dan from the Void Peak?"

Tong Qimei's beautiful eyes were calm, but her heart was moved. Although she knew that Lian Ze and Liang Dan were not ordinary people, according to her estimation, reaching the 15th step was already their limit.

Now, they had actually reached the 35th step. This was beyond Tong Qimei's expectations.

"However, the 35th step should be this person's limit …"

Tong Qimei muttered to herself. However, very soon, the sudden sound of footsteps slapped her face.

The figure below suddenly stepped onto the 36st step. Moreover, his footsteps did not stop at all. He continued to ascend and reached the 30th step in an instant.

Tong Qimei also saw the true face of the figure. She could not help but ask in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

When Tong Qimei saw Zhuowen, her eyes were filled with confusion. This was because the man before her was neither Lian Ze of the Qiankun Sect nor Liang Dan of the Voidflush Peak. Instead, he was a stranger she had never seen before.

Zhuowen raised his head and calmly stared at Tong Qimei. Instead, he took a step forward and entered the 31th step, as if he had no intention of answering Tong Qimei.

Tong Qimei's looks were indeed stunning, but in terms of beauty, she was only on par with Yun Chuyu. Most importantly, Tong Qimei's ice-cold temperament from the inside out added an icy charm to her beauty.

Seeing that Zhuowen did not intend to answer her question and instead continued to climb the stairs, Tong Qimei's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of anger.

As a rare genius of Half Moon Hall, Tong Qimei's reputation in Northern Yu was like thunder to the ears. As she walked on the streets, there was no lack of flattering voices.

It could be said that Tong Qimei was a true genius who was born with a golden spoon in her mouth. She was already used to flattery and various compliments.

Although she disdained those flattering words in her heart, she was not used to being ignored by a strange man. She was angry.

"What if I asked you a question?" Tong Qimei's voice was no longer as calm as before. Instead, it carried a hint of anger.

Thud!

Zhuowen continued to step onto the 33th step. Then, he realized that the pressure here had become even more terrifying. He could not help but stop in his tracks.

A hint of mockery appeared in Tong Qimei's beautiful eyes. She said indifferently, "Although I don't know who you are, you do have some ability to make it this far. However, this should be the end of it. I know better than you how terrifying the pressure here is."

Zhuowen raised his head again. He looked at Tong Qimei again and finally opened his mouth, "I have heard that Half Moon Hall's Tong Qimei is a rare genius in tens of thousands of years. She is incomparably cold and elegant, untainted by the mud. However, why are you spouting so much nonsense now …"

Tong Qimei was originally feeling complacent because of the first half of Zhuowen's sentence. However, the second half of Zhuowen's sentence caused her beautiful face to darken.

However, she also realized that her words and actions were much more impulsive than usual. Normally, she would not even bother to talk nonsense with a stranger. She would not even look at him.

However, it was different now. The result that she was originally proud of was actually easily approached by this man in front of her.

Furthermore, this person was neither Liang Dan nor Lian Ze. This proved that this person should be the fourth newcomer who had just entered this place.

In other words, this person had reached the 33th step from the first step to the 33th step on the first day after entering the eighteenth step.

Such a result, even someone as arrogant as Tong Qimei herself felt that it was impossible because it was too difficult. However, the man in front of her had done it.

This was also why Tong Qimei would show emotions that she would not normally show when facing the young man in front of her.

"You …"

Tong Qimei was filled with hatred. Just as she was about to speak, the young man below took another two steps and reached the ninetieth step. Then, he looked at Tong Qimei calmly.

Tong Qimei was stunned. Zhuowen was half a head taller than her. She could only lift her head and stare at Zhuowen with her beautiful white eyes. Their eyes met.

"You actually entered the ninetieth step too …"

At that moment, Tong Qimei felt defeated. She could not imagine how the young man in front of her, whose aura was only that of Real God Three Disasters, could ascend the Stairway to Heaven so easily.

Zhuowen looked at Tong Qimei indifferently and his gaze fell on the stairway above.

From the moment Zhuowen entered the stairway, he vaguely understood that the pressure on the Stairway to Heaven was not aimed at the Spirit but to temper the Spirit.

The longer one stayed on the Stairway to Heaven, the better the tempering of the Spirit. Naturally, the Spirit would become stronger.

However, Zhuowen's Spirit was too strong. It was so strong that the pressure on the Stairway to Heaven could not suppress the tempering. This was also why Zhuowen could reach the ninetieth step in one go.

"Tempering?

It's a pity that it's not that challenging! "

Zhuowen shook his head and muttered to himself. Then, he suddenly stepped onto the ninety-first step and walked up steadily.

"It's not that challenging?"

Tong Qimei's beautiful eyes looked at the figure that continued to walk up with mixed feelings. She bit her lower lip and took a step forward as well.

Puff!

However, the moment Tong Qimei stepped onto the ninety-first step, the pressure was like a tidal wave that smashed onto her delicate body. Tong Qimei involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood and her beautiful face turned pale.

However, Tong Qimei was extremely stubborn. Her pair of snow-white beautiful eyes stared at Zhuowen's back as she took another step forward and stepped onto the ninety-second step.

Tong Qimei had her own pride.

Since she was young, she had always been number one. Even in the Half Moon Palace where the competition was fierce, she was still number one and no one could compete with her.

Even in this Interstellar Tournament, she still thought that way.

But now, Zhuo Wen's appearance had completely shattered this notion of hers. She knew that her way of thinking might be wrong, and very wrong at that.

"The ninety-fifth step …"

Tong Qimei's clothes were stained with blood. At this moment, Tong Qimei was like a white lotus that had been dyed red. She looked stubborn and delicate.

However, the moment Tong Qimei stepped onto the ninety-fifth step, a terrifying pressure pressed down on her and drilled into her acupuncture points. It was as if it wanted to tear her into pieces.

"I can't go any further …"

Tong Qimei only felt that her body was getting heavier and heavier. Then, her right foot that had stepped onto the ninety-fifth step was fiercely repelled. She gently leaned backwards as a bitter smile and defeat hung on the corner of her mouth.

This was the first time in her life that she felt defeated. Moreover, it was from a strange man.

Just as she was about to close her eyes, a figure appeared in her blurry vision. Following that, she felt her light waist being held by a strong and powerful arm.

"Why are you so insistent on moving forward?

With your talent, after a few more years, under the tempering of this pressure, you should be able to continue moving forward and reach the end of the Heaven Stairway. You won't be in such a sorry state like you are now, right? "

Zhuowen held Tong Qimei in his arms. His gaze was as calm as water as he looked indifferently at the delicate girl in his arms.

This was the first time that Tong Qimei had revealed such a weak and delicate state in front of a man. Perhaps, it would also be the last time.

Tong Qimei stared at Zhuo Wen, and her heart suddenly calmed down. She wasn't like other girls, who would show shyness when a strange man hugged her waist. Instead, she appeared very calm.

However, Tong Qimei knew that she was actually a little flustered because this was the first time she had been so close to a man.

"Because … I need the Heavenly Starry Sky Essence to save someone!" Tong Qimei said coldly.

She already knew that it was impossible for her to obtain the Heavenly Starry Sky Essence, so she simply stated her purpose directly.

"How many drops do you need?" Zhuowen narrowed his eyes and asked.

"One drop is enough!" Tong Qimei said angrily. She felt that Zhuowen's words were mocking her.

"Would you like to bravely climb to the top of the mountain with me and see how small the other mountains are?" Zhuowen suddenly said with a smile.

Tong Qimei was stunned, but soon the man in front of her took her step by step and climbed up the Heaven Stairway.

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Because of Tong Qimei, the pressure of the Heaven Stairway had reached an unprecedented level at this moment.

The originally invisible pressure, at this moment, was like a substantial wave, whistling over, making Tong Qimei tremble in fear.

Zhuowen, however, let out a long roar. In the face of such a terrifying pressure, his fighting spirit soared to the sky.

The reason why he took Tong Qimei with him was to strengthen the pressure of the Heaven Stairway.

Only a stronger pressure could effectively temper his Divine Soul.

The substantial pressure rolled over, and Zhuowen's Divine Sense did not hesitate to meet it. The two collided fiercely.
