Heavenly Stairs (3)

Three hundred years ago, when Huai Bai walked on the Heavenly Stairs, she also discovered its mystery.

But she didn’t choose to enlighten the Dao on it like Pei Yu. Not everyone can be like Pei Yu, ignoring victory and defeat, and can have a longer vision.

Even Huai Bai at that time couldn’t.

She sat lying in the clouds, her eyes softened, and she was proud of Pei Yu.

Pei Yu drags the two clear and muddy qi in her body to slowly fuse.

When there was no further progress, she got up and walked up again. Suddenly, she seemed to feel something, and looked up at the sky.

Floating clouds are like flocculants, and the sky is hidden in the sea of clouds, revealing thin golden light.

Huai Bai was surprised when Pei Yu raised her head suddenly, and she picked up a cloud to cover herself without even thinking about it. It took a long time to remember that the cloud covered her eyes, and the girl should not be able to see it. She dispersed the cloud in her hand and frowned slightly.

The girl’s eyes were terribly clear, black and white, like the black and white on a Tai Chi fish, without a trace of other colors.

Her eyes always reminded Huai Bai of another person, but that person’s eyes would not be so clean.

Thinking of this, Huai Bai chuckled again. She likes these beautiful eyes.

Pei Yu doesn’t know the mood of the person in the cloud, but vaguely feels that someone is watching her.

She became more careful, not daring to let the blood mist come out at all, for fear that it would be noticed.

Above the steps, the coercion is heavier.

Pei Yu tightened her lips. Her body was absorbing the spiritual energy faster and faster, and the whirlpool quickly circulated. Dragged by this, the blood mist’s circulation speed also began to accelerate.

Her complexion turned pale, and her forehead was in cold sweat.

Devil energy and spiritual energy impact the meridian and dantian time and time again, and not everyone can bear such pain.

But Pei Yu only paused for a moment, and then slowly moved up, without showing the slightest pain on her face. After all, this kind of pain is really insignificant compared to ten thousand demons biting the heart.

When she reached the five hundred and sixty-fourth step, the blue vortex was flourishing, and her spiritual energy was faintly occupying her dantian. But when the blood mist accompanied her to walk out of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, how could it be easy to be the same, seemingly weak, but actually entrenched at one end, silently waiting for the opportunity.

Pei Yu guided the aura and blood mist to blend, failing again and again, trying again and again.

Every step she took, a deep footprint appeared under her feet, and in the end, the Heavenly Stairs even began to shake slightly.

The golden falling leaves fell down, shining like a golden rain.

Pei Yu was lost in the beauty for a moment, and then raised her lips lightly. She loved all the magnificent and beautiful sceneries in the world. She picked up a piece of leaf, held it in her hand, and walked up slowly.

She never felt that controlling Sui Han could end things once and for all.

The demise of Gushan was due to various coincidences, but what about the demise of the Zhuangzi Saints and Mo Sect? She has never forgotten that after she walked out of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, the world was unified and returned to the Heavenly Daoist Sect. It’s just that she was thinking of revenge and unwilling to pursue the truth of the collapse of these two religions.

Maybe the immortal gate seems calm, but in fact the dark tide is raging.

In this life, she wants to protect the master and guard such a beautiful Gushan.

So she has to stand at a higher position, do things that no one has done before, and become strong enough, stronger than everyone else.

Pei Yu took a step up.

The sky trembled suddenly, and the spiritual energy in her body grew steadily, and the blood mist and spiritual energy impacted again.

Sheng Ji felt the Heavenly Stairs faintly shaking, and even he was a little unsteady on his feet. With a solemn expression, he half-kneeled on the stone steps and took a few breaths before he stabilized his figure.

“We have reached the 788nd step.” He said silently in his heart, “As long as you reach the 800th step, you can become the leader of this class.”

The girl named Pei Yu didn’t play, and he was sure that he could get the first place this time.

It’s just that he couldn’t help thinking, if Pei Yu were here, where would she go?

Sheng Ji gritted his teeth and walked up under the stronger and stronger pressure, shaking slightly, trying his best every step of the way.

He raised his head to look at the endless road, the muscles all over his body bursting all over, resisting the urge to kneel down on the heavenly steps, and slowly walk up.

“Seven hundred and eighty three, eighty four… eight hundred…”

Sheng Ji breathed a sigh of relief, but did not stop. He could feel the shaking under his feet becoming more obvious, and he was surprised, but his eagerness to win won the upper hand, so he gritted his teeth and stepped up to the sky step by step.

… …

At this time, there was silence in Danxia Palace.

Everyone looked up at the water mirror, and even Ning Xiao’s face was surprised.

Pei Yu’s name was at the end at first, then began to surpass the front row, and stopped again at the 100th order.

After that, under everyone’s eyes, her ranking slowly moved forward, and now she has reached the 671th rank, second only to Sheng Ji and Yu Chisu.

According to common sense, the higher the steps, the heavier the pressure and the slower the walk. Sheng Ji and Yu Chisu had only gone to the next step after a long time.

But this girl named Pei Yu seemed to be unrestricted, walking faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, she reached ten steps.

“Six hundred and seventy-one, six hundred and eighty, seven hundred…” Lingsu Peak Master widened her eyes, “This, what kind of talent is this?”

Zhuoyu Peak Master held her breath, and when she saw her surpass Yu Chisu, she was ranked second, and exclaimed: “It takes less than a quarter of an hour. She, she will go from the five hundred to seven hundred and thirty-five steps.”

Ning Xiao was also shocked.

He could feel the heaven and earth aura above the Heavenly Stairs being quickly absorbed, this person not only climbed to the Heavenly Stairs at an astonishing speed, but even planned to break through it?

Huangzhong Peak Master murmured: “Can she go a thousand steps?”

Zhuoyu Peak Master clenched his fist and affirmed: “It will definitely be possible!”

Ding Fenghua looked at the rapidly rising steps in disbelief, blinking several times before confirming that she was right. He still remembered that when he climbed the stairs by himself, the more difficult it was as he climbed up, but the girl seemed to be the opposite. Except that at first it was a little slower, the speed behind it was simply staggering.

Impossible.

It can’t be like this.

Ding Fenghua looked around, and suddenly shouted: “It must have been what Huai Bai used, or why would this little thing go up as soon as she went out?”

Lingsu Peak Master immediately retorted, “The Heavenly Stairs was left by the ancestor Dao for the trial. What kind of hands and feet can she use? Senior Brother Ding, don’t slander Little Bai.”

“Yes, yes.” Zhuoyu Peak Master immediately agreed, “Little Bai doesn’t care about winning or losing, she doesn’t care about it at all.”

Ding Fenghua was annoyed and angry, and his neck was red. “You mean, I am the one who is determined to win or lose? Did I just pour dirty water on her?”

(T/N: pour dirty water means slandering someone with false accusations)

Lingsu Peak Master murmured, “That’s what it was originally.”

Ning Xiao sighed, “Don’t be noisy.”

At this time, Huangzhong Peak Master’s words drew everyone’s attention back again, “Nine hundred steps.”

With just a few words of their mouths, Pei Yu has actually reached the 900th step, surpassed Sheng Ji, and became the first person far ahead.

Everyone opened their eyes wide. They have also come from the trial, knowing the difficulty of climbing the heavenly steps, but the scene in front of them is too shocking to their previous cognition.

“Nine hundred fifty one, nine hundred eighty two, nine hundred ninety one…”

Above the steps, there are only three people who are still going up——Pei Yu, Yu Chisu, and Sheng Ji.

Sheng Ji and Yu Chisu were already out of breath and sweating like a torrent of cold sweat. They just persisted under coercion with the hard work of their young people, but if they wanted to go further, it would be impossible.

Pei Yu is the opposite.

When she reached the 990th step, the blood mist and spiritual energy in her body finally merged. The rest is very simple.

At the ninth level, the spiritual energy circulated in her body for a long time, suddenly soaring, and her cultivation level rose to the first level of qi training.

She didn’t stop, and went another step. The blue and red mixed vortex in her dantian revolved frantically, training the second level of qi!

Step by step, practice qi in three levels, four levels… nine levels!

The spiritual energy swayed like crazy, the sky began to shake violently, and the rocks fell like rain.

Sheng Ji and others looked at the sky in amazement.

The shining light there, like a pearl and brocade, covers the entire sky, and strands of purple air rise from Gushan, linking the heaven and the earth as one.

Huai Bai cast a spell early to block the vision of heaven and earth, so that mortals could not detect it, but the monks could see it at a glance.

Lingsu Peak Master exclaimed: “Is anyone forming a core? Or is it forming a soul?”

(T/N: the above is talking about cultivating to a golden core or a nascent soul)

Ning Xiao shook his head, “It’s building the foundation.”

“How did the foundation building cause such a big auspicious sky?”

Ning Xiao explained: “The monk has reached enlightenment from heaven, the enlightenment’s sudden realization lets them break through in one fell swoop, and it may trigger the omen of shining light and purple clouds.”

Huangzhong Peak Master’s complexion is still very complicated, “That direction is the Heavenly Stairs.”

Lingsu Peak Master hurriedly asked: “Who, who broke through the tribulation? Is it Sheng Ji? I heard that he has reached the perfect qi training.”

Huangzhong Peak Master said softly: “No, it’s,” Her voice was soft, as if she couldn’t believe it, “It’s Pei Yu.”

Zhuoyu Peak Master swallowed, and said with difficulty: “That is to say, in a short period of time, she not only completed the heavenly steps, but also went from having no cultivation skills, to practicing qi and entering the body, and then immediately building the foundation? This… is she a monster?”

Pei Yu didn’t know how big a sensation she caused.

She lifted her foot and looked at the last step, a little hesitant… Is this too ostentatious, will it cause trouble to Master?

But the arrow is on the string and she has to release it.

After struggling for a moment, she set foot on the last step, with a loud bang, the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Stairs suddenly transpired, and the sky was full of clouds.

One step, building a foundation.

The heavenly step started from under her feet, and quickly split, and the falling rubble fell one after another.

Pei Yu froze, the stairs collapsed? She shook her mind, and her body suddenly fell from the crack.

Huai Bai sighed, knowing that it was finally time for her to play. She jumped off the cloud, cast a spell to send Yu Chisu and Sheng Ji to a safe place, and then hugged the girl who was falling, and said helplessly: “Apprentice oh apprentice. You really can do it, and unexpectedly you can actually collapse the Heavenly Stairs. “

She had known that the ancestor had an opportunity in the Heavenly Stairs, but she didn’t know if this opportunity would cause such a big movement.

Fortunately, she was in the air early.

Pei Yu looked at her Master, feeling inexplicably worried, the corners of her eyes were slightly moist, and she lowered her head and said, “Master, I didn’t mean to…”

Huai Bai hugged the child and said with a smile: “But I like it as a teacher.”

Pei Yu leaned her head lightly on Huai Bai’s shoulder, smelled a piece of fragrance on her body, and whispered softly, “Well, I like Master too.”

Zhen’s thoughts:

I hope Pei Yu’s character is a bit clearer now that we’ve gotten this far. She’s not actually a yandere, and the only reason she wanted to kill the other apprentices was because she assumed they would be bad people. She’s been hurt very badly before and she doesn’t trust people anymore.

If you paid attention to how Huai Bai said Pei Yu’s eyes were like “that person” aka the other Pei Yu, but hers were much cleaner, that should let you know that Pei Yu’s character isn’t actually that gloomy or bad. Her personality now is due to tragedy, and she’s someone who is on the road to redemption now.

Also we finally get to see Pei Yu flexing that “full-level boss” status with breaking those stairs and getting an opportunity while she’s at it. Feels good seeing her show up Ding Fenghua and shocking all the peak masters.
