Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 2134 - 2116: Heaven-Reaching Level

How could they possibly know the specifics of the process? Qin Kun and Wu Shan’s clash served to prevent others from investigating this area, and simultaneously, they triggered the reaction of the formation of the ancient mansion through the massive energy vibration. Fang Yan seized this moment to set up a formation to tear space apart, but the formation of the ancient mansion was too strong, and the space-tearing formation lasted less than a breath before being crushed. Fortunately, the three were prepared and used that brief moment to enter the ancient mansion.

At this moment, Fang Yan led Qin Kun and Wu Shan, staring bewildered at the scene before them, as it was completely different from what they had imagined. Though there was indeed a palace, it was entirely different from the monument they saw on Xuanming Lake!

The palace here was built entirely in the air, with all buildings suspended in mid-air. More strangely, since the moment they entered here, they felt a pressure like Mount Tai pressing down, making it impossible for the three to fly.

Looking up, there floated nineteen steps in the air, suspended without any support. None of them understood how these steps floated, and they surprisingly connected directly to the palace entrance. From afar, the palace gleamed with golden light, exuding an extraordinarily grand and mysterious aura, making it appear extremely enigmatic!

"What kind of place is this?"

"What’s going on with these steps? How do they float?"

Qin Kun and Wu Shan were equally shocked as they observed the floating steps. Such methods were simply extraordinary, making it unimaginable!

Fang Yan heard the two speak and shook his head. His attention was entirely focused on the lowermost part of the floating steps, where a stele stood, inscribed with "Heaven-Reaching Taoist Mansion!"

"Let’s go!"

With a simple word to Qin Kun and Wu Shan, Fang Yan stepped towards the stele. As he approached, the pressure became increasingly intense, seemingly intent on crushing him. Yet, Fang Yan was unfazed by such a challenge, circulating Gang Qi, he walked towards the stele with ease.

While Fang Yan moved effortlessly, Qin Kun and Wu Shan faced a different state. They felt the pressure growing more intense, making each step increasingly challenging! Despite being powerful figures in the late Human Immortal Realm, the immense pressure exerted by the stele was curious to them!

It was only a distance of dozens of zhang, yet Fang Yan effortlessly reached the stele, whereas Qin Kun and Wu Shan spent a full incense stick’s time. Sweat covered their foreheads, reflecting the sheer pressure from the stele that felt overwhelmingly strong.

Fang Yan had been examining the stele for a while. Beyond the inexplicable pressure, he found a text on the stele, learning that the floating steps were called the "Heaven-Reaching Level." Famously, each person only had one chance to ascend, and if someone reached the top, the level would vanish.

After Qin Kun and Wu Shan reached him, Fang Yan considered their state and said, "Cultivate here first. Adapt to the pressure from Heaven’s Stele, then ascend those floating stone steps."

Qin Kun and Wu Shan nodded, sitting down immediately to cultivate and adjust their state. Just reaching the stele was strenuous enough, indicating they were far from entering the ancient mansion, hence their urgent desire to strengthen, seizing any opportunity to grow.

Neither anticipated, however, that once they started cultivating, the Gang Qi within them suddenly became more active. Such a phenomenon was unprecedented, though the external pressure remained overwhelming, the activation of Gang Qi seemed to gradually weaken it. Delighted by this change, they focused intensely on cultivating.

Meanwhile, Fang Yan found a place to concentrate on cultivation, but unlike Qin Kun and Wu Shan, his goal was to refrain from breaking into the Earth Immortal Realm, focusing on consolidating the Gang Qi within...

Focused on cultivation, days passed unnoticed.

Gradually, Qin Kun and Wu Shan found themselves deeply immersed in cultivation, oblivious to time passing. Fang Yan, while maintaining aware of surroundings and cultivating, contemplated the strategy to conquer the Heaven-Reaching Level - a place enriched with mystical opportunities that could not be wasted.

In another few days, Qin Kun and Wu Shan remained unaware of time, absorbed in a cultivation state far superior than ever before, reaching a complete state of self-oblivion.

Fang Yan observed their current state with satisfaction, refraining from disturbing them, while stepping towards Heaven-Reaching Street. Considering the message on Heaven’s Stele, there’s only one chance on Heaven-Reaching Level. Fang Yan decided to wait for Qin Kun and Wu Shan to ascend fully before his turn, lest an instant success deprive them of the chance.

A couple more days elapsed, and suddenly, layers of ripples surged from Qin Kun and Wu Shan, their aura skyrocketing crazily, seemingly on the brink of explosion. Faced with such a situation, Fang Yan intervened, channeling two golden strands of Gang Qi into them, instantly calming their rampant aura.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

"Boss, why stop us?"

Overwhelmed, Qin Kun and Wu Shan were baffled by Fang Yan’s intervention, confused why he halted their breakthrough at the very brink, leaving them frustrated. On the verge of a breakthrough, halting felt disheartening.

"Have you forgotten what I’ve told you before? The foundation must be rigid, breakthroughs will naturally follow. Have you forgotten?" Fang Yan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, they recalled it and blushed, unsure what to say next. They thought they couldn’t be blamed, cultivation felt too euphoric, as if transcending, how could control be feasible?

Seeing them acknowledge the error, Fang Yan proceeded, "Look at those floating steps, called Heaven-Reaching Level. Try them, how far you get depends on your strength and Creation."

Startled by Fang Yan’s remark, Qin Kun and Wu Shan gazed at him, realizing the floating steps’ name, yet remained clueless about its significance. Yet, intrigued by Fang Yan’s suggestion, they wished to explore their potential.

Nodding in agreement, Wu Shan volunteered, "I’ll go first!" He began towards Heaven-Reaching Level, halted briefly by Fang Yan. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"This level is different; exert your best, don’t force it," Fang Yan advised sincerely, wary of Wu Shan risking recklessness in unknown terrain, urging caution.

Wu Shan acknowledged sincerely, advancing towards Heaven-Reaching Level as Fang Yan and Qin Kun watched.

As he stepped onto the first level, Wu Shan’s body swayed briefly, soon stabilizing. The tension on his face eased slightly, prompting Qin Kun to inquire anxiously, "Wu Shan, what’s the condition on Heaven-Reaching Level?"

"The level exerts a strange pressure, similar to by the stele before!" Wu Shan answered without turning, pondering the level’s essence, dubious of hidden dangers implied by Fang Yan’s earlier caution.

No sooner had he considered potential risks than two streaks of Sword Gang emerged, converging on Wu Shan!

A sudden sweat poured from Wu Shan, confronted with swift Sword Gang several zhang long, unable to evade, forced to engage it. Quickly, his hands spread, unleashing an explosion of Gang Qi, with blue lightning Gang Qi countering the approaching Sword Gang.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The two Sword Gang shattered unexpectedly by Wu Shan’s Fist Aura, with chaotic energy rapidly sweeping the surroundings, covering several hundred zhang, indicative of the exchange’s immense power.

Seeing this, Fang Yan and Qin Kun relaxed, assured Wu Shan managed the danger on the first level of the Heaven-Reaching Level.

Wu Shan surveyed the disrupted shock waves, puzzled by the ease of destroying the Sword Gang, gazed upwards at the second stone step, blue Gang Qi enveloping him, stepping forward.
