Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (201-400)

265- Illusion Array Master

As they climbed up Sinking Sword Peak’s own mountain, they noticed it was extremely spacious, able to accommodate hundreds of people walking hand in hand. However, it was also very high and couldn’t be seen entirely at a glance.

Zhan Fengting pointed to the Taoist temples, “This is the main peak of Sinking Sword. Although you could fly with your sword, according to the rules of Sinking Sword Peak, the first time a person enters the peak has to be by climbing these 999 steps on his own.”

Yan Tianhen was stunned. Looking at the steps, which were half as high as him, he opened his mouth, “Fengting Gege, are you kidding me? 999 steps is too high and, even if I climb them, I’m afraid it’ll take ten days to half a month! No, no, ten days to half a month aren’t enough, maybe three to five months is possible.”

Even after reaching the Foundation Stage, Yan Tianhen was still a human, not a god. Even a god would get tired and sleepy.

Zhan Fengting smiled, “This is the rule that Master left behind. Although Xuanzhi is the disciple he personally selected, he still has to abide by the rules. Otherwise, the Master will not accept it.”

Lin Xuanzhi narrowed his eyes and took Yan Tianhen’s hand. “It doesn’t matter. We can go up slowly.”

Yan Tianhen nodded, somewhat anxious, but he didn’t worry much about Lin Xuanzhi. He was more worried that his lame foot would drag them down.

Lin Xuanzhi did as he said but it wasn’t easy climbing up the stairs while pulling Yan Tianhen. Lin Xuanzhi’s movements were light and skillful, but Yan Tianhen was short so he couldn’t climb up several steps and had to use both his hands and feet.

Standing on his sword, Zhan Fengting didn’t move too fast either. He only maintained a speed of about ten steps faster than Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen.

Ah Bai was held in Zhan Fengting’s arms. Hu Po also learned to be lazy and climbed directly onto Zhan Fengting’s shoulder.

The two cubs were gnawing happily at the demonic delight fruit while watching their two masters climb together with difficulty under Zhan Fengting’s gaze. They had absolutely no intention of helping.

It was not long before Yan Tianhen began to sweat after a hundred steps or so. He was surprised to find that the steps were not only high but also had a strange force that pulled them to the ground, forcing them to fight against it with their Dantian Qi just to be able to lift their feet.

As a result, it took even greater effort to climb up the stairs, and the rapid speed at which their Qi diminished was astonishing. It was even greater than when Qi was consumed during a fight.

He gritted his teeth and climbed two hundred steps. By this point, Yan Tianhen was soaked to the skin and his forehead was already sweaty.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuanzhi was in much better shape than him.

He stopped, his beautiful eyes tinged with sadness. He held up his sleeve to wipe away the beads of sweat from Yan Tianhen’s forehead, “Let’s have a rest first before we move on.”

Yan Tianhen sat on the ground, panting. He stretched out his hand to fan himself and complained, “Dage, this is just too much. Now I think it will take about a year and a half to climb to the top of the mountain.”

Lin Xuanzhi looked at his little red face and replied, “Or let’s not climb and just go back down the mountain.”

Standing nearby, Zhan Fengting heard their exchange and couldn’t help but raise his brows. He was suddenly feeling a little nervous.

Yan Tianhen, however, smiled brightly as he looked at Lin Xuanzhi, “Dage, don’t worry about me. If you have the strength, climb up first. I’ll … I’ll take it slow. If you get to the top of the mountain, just send me some food.”
