Chapter 161 - Stairway to Heaven (1/2)
”I see… Thank you for telling me about this. I might have rushed my judgment if it were not for you, Feng Feng. If the Seven Legacy Families are truly such nasty people then I'd rather stay away from them,” Yuan said afterward.
”As for Disciple Min… Maybe I can help her achieve her dreams without needing me to join her family.”
”How does one even travel to the upper heavens, anyway? I know of the Stairway to Heaven, but are there any other methods one can use to travel to the upper heavens?” Yuan asked a moment later.
”Indeed, the Stairway to Heaven is only one of multiple methods, and it's even the second most difficult method, but despite that, it's the most used method by Cultivators since the other methods are somewhat unrealistic.” Feng Yuxiang said, and she continued, ”The first method, as most people know, would be to breakthrough the Spirit Grandmaster realm and become a Spirit Lord. Once that happens, you will be able to access the Stairway to Heaven and ascend the staircase without needing to clear the trials as you have already qualified to ascend with your cultivation.”
”For our second method, as you know, would be to challenge the Stairway to Heaven and attempt to clear the trials to gain recognition and the qualifications to ascend. This is the most commonly used method simply because this allows Cultivators who have not reached the Spirit Lord realm to ascend to the upper heavens. Of course, it's not an easy thing to achieve, and only a couple of Cultivators will manage to pass the trials and ascend to the next realm every 100 years.”
”As for the third and final method… while this is technically the easiest way to ascend, it's also the most unrealistic method, as it requires someone from the upper heavens to come down to the Lower Heavens and take you to the upper heavens. This is something only the Seven Legacy Families and the Four Ancient Families can achieve, as they have families in the upper heavens.”
”However, even if they can do such a thing, it requires a tremendous amount of resources for someone in the upper heavens to come down to the Lower Heavens, hence why they only do that once in a blue moon when they have someone extremely talented.”
”I see…” Yuan mumbled as he obtained a firm understanding regarding the upper heavens and the Stairway to Heaven.
Sometime later, Yuan said, ”I am going to log off now. Too many things have happened today and I need some rest.”
”See you later, Young Master.”
”Goodbye, Brother Yuan.”
Yuan logged off the next moment.
Once he returned to the real world, Yuan took a few deep breaths to calm his mind before he started cultivating until Yu Rou entered his room.
”Brother, you probably know about this already but apparently something amazing happened in Cultivation Online today!” Yu Rou said to him as she cleaned his body.
”Huh? What happened?” Yuan asked her.
”Many Players within the Eastern Continent heard a loud beastly roar that traveled hundreds of thousands of miles! Some even said it sounded like a dragon's roar! Maybe there's going to be a special event and the roar was some sort of sign!”
”R-Really? I didn't hear anything, though.” Yuan mumbled.
Although Elder Xuan had spoken to him about his performance at the Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate Tower, Elder Xuan never mentioned the dragon escaping the tower, nor did he mention the loud roar that came from it.
