Chapter 184 Saint Stairs Stone Stage (2/2)
Zhou Yuan and the rest looked towards the top of the tablet. Sure enough, they saw a line of ancient words.
“The Saint stairs has nine platforms. Those that enter may receive treasures, but they will not be allowed to leave.”
Everyone read the texts as a thoughtful look was revealed in their eyes.
“Which is to say there are a total of nine of these stone platforms? This should be the first one… entering means getting a treasure, but not allowed to leave would mean that we will not be able to re enter the Saint steps?”
Zhou Yuan’s gaze flickered, slightly comprehending the meaning behind those words. This was likely a reward of sorts for those who managed to endure till this point.
However, it was also obvious that the stone platforms that appeared later on would have better prizes.
All the apex level geniuses were smart individuals, and soon realised this point. Hence, they gritted their teeth, choosing to continue trudging forward instead of entering the stone platforms.
These people were prideful individuals. How could they possibly allow themselves to stop here!
Therefore, the advance continued.
Rumble!
Under the unyielding efforts of the apex level geniuses, they saw another three platforms in succession after half an incense stick of time. However, they merely hesitated briefly, before unanimously choosing not to enter.
All of them wanted to endure just a little longer so that the blessing they eventually obtained would be even better.
Time passed as everyone's footsteps grew heavier than ever. Their pace had slowed to a crawl as if there was a heavy mountain on each of their backs.
The fifth stone platform finally appeared.
The Dongxuan Continent genius, Zhu Ying, was pretty pale. Sweat drenched her body, the feeling almost gone from her legs. Her gaze flickered indeterminately as she stared at the fifth stone platform.
In the end, she helplessly sighed, knowing that she had reached her limit. Continuing would only result in being washed away. When that happened, she would be ejected empty handed.
Therefore, she grunted softly as her figure leaped upwards and landed on the stone platform.
She obviously did not plan on persisting, changing her focus instead to obtaining the blessing on this stone platform.
”Humph, I've been watching you for a long time. Let us properly settle our grudge from last time!” The moment Zhu Ying landed on the fifth platform, Luluo icily snorted and also left the stone steps, landing on the same stone platform.
It was not a rash decision made purely out of anger. She too understood her current condition. If she continued, it was very likely that she would not be able to endure till the fourth stone platform.
As such, she had to contest for the fifth platform.
”You!” Zhu Ying's gaze turned frosty when she saw Luluo also land on the same platform and sneered. ”Since you wish for death, I will fulfil your wish!”
Their actions immediately caused an uproar in the Saint Remains Domain, countless gazes beginning to light up with excitement.
”They're going to fight!”
”Go Little County Lord, beat up that woman. The Saint Remains Domain blessings belong to our Cangmang Continent. We cannot allow those Dongxuan people even a single one!”
Voices rose and fell in the Saint Remains Domain. Practically everyone was supporting Luluo against the outsider.
On the stone steps, Zhou Yuan and the rest paused for a moment, but soon began their climb again.
”Be careful Luluo.” Zhou Yuan cautioned.
Luluo waved a small hand. ”Relax, I will no longer give the same chance from the previous time.”
There was nothing more for Zhou Yuan to say. He continued advancing, gradually leaving the fifth stone platform behind.
His gaze gradually sharpened. He had a feeling that the most intense phase was about to begin…
