Chapter 26 (1/2)

Ai Li was one of the few experts of the demon sect, occupying the position of right emissary.

He was second only to the demon lord.

He was below one person, and above ten thousand people.

In terms of aptitude, cultivation, mana, and Abhijna, he was not inferior to the eight great immortal sect’s sect masters.

Even such an expert, when he went down the Stairway to Heaven, he had only gone down to a thousand steps.

However, now, among this batch of new disciples participating in the trial, there were already people who were about to step up to a thousand steps and it was not just one.

Ai Li watched as Alan got closer and closer to the thousandth step, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.

When Alan’s left foot finally collapsed onto the thousandth step, Ai Li’s hair stood on end, and his hair started to count backwards.

It was as if a bomb had exploded in his head.

“Demon lord above, this old man will be able to personally witness the strength of my demon sect in my lifetime. I will die without regrets!”

His face turned hot. He reached out and wiped his tears.

Ai Li’s lips trembled. He picked up his sleeve and wiped it.

He secretly made up her mind. This batch of disciples, especially the leader, Alan, would definitely teach them everything.

Even if he had to sell everything, he would use the best resources to nurture them.

Without the demon lord, the demon sect would have to rely on themselves.

He would definitely nurture a batch of top experts for the demon sect.

He blinked his eyes and was just about to call Alan and the others back when she saw that Alan did not stop. He was teasing Little Qiu Ya while raising his right foot to step onto the 1001st step.

“Wait!”

Ai Li turned pale with fright and shouted loudly, disregarding the rules.

If he was not afraid of triggering the ground or erupting, Ai Li would have directly pounced down.

After reaching the thousandth step, the heat and mana transformation intensity needed for each additional step was nearly ten times stronger than before.

Not to mention the present in the age of chaos.

Even 10,000 years ago, when the demon gate was at its peak, there were very few people who could reach the 1,001st step.

This was also the capital that Ai Li had always been proud of.

Seeing that Alan’s toes were about to step on the stone steps, Ai Li was so anxious that the corners of his eyes almost split open.

A loud shout startled Alan.

“What qualities!”

“Don’t shout in public. What if you scare the children?”

“Even if there are no children, it’s not good to scare the flowers and plants!”

Alan stood steadily on the 1001st steps. He turned his head to look at the anxious Ai Li. His expression was the same as usual. There was no abnormality at all.

“How is this possible!

“Could it be that there is such a genius here?!”

Ai Li was surprised and happy. He hugged the person next to him happily and kissed him without even looking at who it was.

However, before he could finish laughing, Alan’s next move scared him so much that his eyes almost popped out.

Alan only turned his head to look at him. After a slight pause, he continued to walk down.

Reaching 1001 steps had already broken the 10,000-year record.

1002 steps was even more difficult!

Ai Li felt his heart beating rapidly. The stimulation today was a little too much, and he could not hold on any longer.

Fortunately, after Alan, Bai Ling, Qiu Ya, and the others stopped at the 1,000th step and did not continue down.

“Brother, I’m a little tired.”

“Go down by yourself. I’ll wait for you here, okay?”

Qiu Ya held Alan’s hand and looked at Alan with her big, watery eyes.

It was not that they could not walk anymore.

It was that they were too close to the Earth’s fire after reaching thousand steps.
