Chapter 875 Cloud Ladder (1/2)

Swoosh!

Under countless gazes, the four figures shot out at almost the same time, directly speeding towards the white jade-like ladder.

The four people had just reached the cloud ladder when they felt an extremely terrifying pressure spread towards them from all directions. The feeling was as if they were situated in the depths of the sea. There were levels upon levels of pressure.

Under that kind of tremendous pressure, all four suddenly fell onto the ladder, unable to leap up.

“What powerful pressure!”

Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed. Under this pressure, it was as if he was carrying a mountain on his back and was unable to move forward. Adding to this, the cloud ladder was incredibly long. It was really a test of his ability to climb up.

But he didn’t impatiently climb the ladder, and he simply let the pressure envelop him for him to adapt first.

In the void, the five imposing figures intently watched the four figures on the cloud ladders.

“In the past chief pavilion master battles, the cloud ladder suppression was only around 18 million Genesis Qi stars. Why has it reached 20 million this time?” Chi Jing asked.

When the chief pavilion master token exuded the pressure, she had already noticed this, but the object was in sect master Xuan Kun’s hand, so she didn’t know what sect master Xuan Kun had set.

Sect master Xuan Kun smiled. “Grand elder Chi Jing is wrong. According to the rules, the pressure can be set between 15 million and 20 million. I only set it to 20 million, which is actually reasonable. Just consider it as a test for those little guys.”

Chi Jing took a deep look at sect master Xuan Kun. How could she not know what that old man was thinking? He just wanted to create some difficulties for Zhou Yuan because one could only rely on their own Genesis Qi foundation on the cloud ladder. Any other objects were useless.

Although the combat strength that Zhou Yuan had shown was indeed tyrannical, he was still only at the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage. Without any cultivation objects, in terms of foundation, he was indeed inferior to Lu Xiao and the others.

But what sect master Xuan Kun said was right. There was no fixed value to the pressure, so even if he set it to 20 million, Chi Jing couldn’t say anything.

She didn’t continue to argue, casting her gaze onto the cloud ladder. She knew that sect master Xuan Kun thought that this pressure could suppress Zhou Yuan. He really underestimated her master’s eyes.

At this time there were also countless people gazing at the four figures. They were spiritedly discussing things to each other.

“It is said that to climb this ladder one has to depend on one’s own Genesis Qi foundation and one can’t use other foreign objects. If your foundation isn’t strong enough, it will be difficult to progress one step up the cloud ladder.”

“I think the level of Genesis Qi pressure is stronger than before.”

“It’s indeed stronger. It seems that one must possess a foundation of at least 20 million stars to withstand it!”

Hearing this number, many people gasped in astonishment. This foundation also couldn’t be achieved with the help of foreign objects. It should be said that for people of the advanced Divine Dwelling stage to possess a Genesis Qi foundation of 10 million was already very amazing.

Only the top heaven prides who opened up nine Divine Dwellings could achieve a Genesis Qi foundation of around that level when they reached the advanced Divine Dwelling stage.

On the Fire Pavilion’s side, Zuo Ya and Zhu Lian were standing together. Zuo Ya looked at Zhou Yuan’s figure from afar and sneered, “A Genesis Qi foundation of 20 million—that guy couldn’t have reached that level, right?”

Zhu Lian responded, “Even Fang Ao couldn’t reach 20 million after activating the Fire Spirit Rune. Zhou Yuan is even less likely to have done so, right?”

“The combat strength he showed before is indeed strong, but he had mostly relied on foreign objects to achieve that.”
