Stellar Transformation-Chapter 578 - 16 episodes 39 - s Admiration
Today’s second Chapter!
——————————
Sweat beads slid down from his forehead, but Qin Yu’s gaze was fixed above—the ninety-ninth step of the Heavenly Ascending Steps.
At this moment, he had already reached the ninety-fifth step.
This time ascending the Heavenly Ascending Steps, Qin Yu had been using Space Power from the start, and he had become more accustomed to controlling this Space Power, gaining even more experience in how to resist Spatial Suppression.
The Space Power around Qin Yu sometimes pulsed like waves, sometimes spun like whirlpools, and sometimes shaped like a cone...
In any case, he was unloading various forms of Spatial Suppression, lock-in, and binding at the minimal cost.
"This time, it should be somewhat better than the first," Qin Yu boldly took another step.
The ninety-sixth step!
"Last time I already reached my limit at the ninety-sixth step, and as soon as I stepped onto the ninety-seventh, I was blasted down. This time... seems a bit better," Qin Yu felt a trace of barely concealable joy in his heart.
Qin Yu did not rush to climb to the ninety-seventh step, but instead familiarized himself with higher levels of Spatial attacks on the ninety-sixth.
The crowd below was holding their breath.
The past record had been the ninety-fifth step. Yet Qin Yu had already surpassed that, and even if Qin Yu failed now, they would still admire him in their hearts.
"Why has Brother Qin Yu stopped at the ninety-sixth step?" Shen Tufan voiced his confusion.
Duanmu Yu and Marquis Kui Yin also shook their heads indicating they did not know.
From their perspective, each step of the stairs tested the understanding of the Space Law. Staying at one step longer seemed to have no benefit.
But they didn’t know.
Qin Yu was accumulating experience, the experience of using ’Space Power’ to fend off various spatial attacks. The longer he stayed, the more experience Qin Yu gained.
At the ninety-sixth step, Qin Yu stayed for a full hour.
"Last time, as soon as Qin Yu stepped onto the ninety-seventh step, he was blasted down. I wonder about this time..." Marquis Kui Yin said quietly.
"Qin Yu has moved," Hao Jun suddenly said.
By now, quite a few people had been attracted to watch Qin Yu ascend the Heavenly Ascending Steps, and all of them looked up to watch Qin Yu climb, hearing ’Qin Yu has moved,’ everyone’s eyes brightened, their gaze focused entirely on him.
One step!
Qin Yu had already reached the ninety-seventh step.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Qin Yu’s entire body swayed slightly on the ninety-seventh step, but he still stood firm, not falling down.
"He’s stood firm!" Marquis Kui Yin, Duanmu Yu, Shen Tufan, and others were shocked.
Last time, as soon as Qin Yu stepped onto the ninety-seventh step, he was blasted down. This meant that Qin Yu was utterly unable to resist the spatial attacks of the ninety-seventh step.
But why, in just a short while, was Qin Yu now able to stand firm on the ninety-seventh step?
This improvement was just too great!
"Can understanding of space improve so quickly?" Zhou Xian murmured in disbelief.
******
The crowd watching below did not know that the first time and the second time ascending were so closely spaced that, of course, the understanding of space had hardly improved. What Qin Yu had improved was... his experience in using Space Power to counter spatial attacks.
How to use a small amount of Space Power to more effectively withstand those powerful attacks.
"Hang in there, hang on."
On the ninety-seventh level, Qin Yu adopted the same strategy as the ninety-sixth level; he did not rush to advance further, instead familiarizing himself to a greater extent with the spatial attacks.
Qin Yu’s figure swayed, but he controlled the Space Power extremely quickly.
At this moment, the Space Power had already been compressed to a surrounding area of one meter, and Qin Yu frantically adjusted the Space Power to resist the Spatial Suppression.
"I feel like a small boat in a raging sea, constantly on the verge of capsizing." Qin Yu felt very tired.
Each resistance to spatial attacks seemed to push Qin Yu to his limit.
Time and time challenging Qin Yu’s limits.
Qin Yu tried hard to hold on.
"Bang!" A minor mistake, and Qin Yu was blasted down the steps, the horrifying Spatial Suppression even shattered his chest bone and caved in his chest.
Powerless, he fell below.
"Brother Qin Yu." Duanmu Yu, Marquis Kui Yin, and a few others hurriedly supported him, and Qin Yu’s injuries recovered in a moment. His body rippled around, and the blood traces also vanished without a trace.
"Are you all right?" Duanmu Yu looked at Qin Yu, who presently had a very calm face with no change. This made Duanmu Yu worried about Qin Yu’s mental state.
"I’m fine."
Qin Yu said, but his gaze still remained fixed on the ninety-ninth level of the Heavenly Ascending Steps.
"Gather experience, gather experience... Once I can completely stabilize myself on the ninety-seventh level, and then endure a while on the ninety-eighth level, I can quickly step onto the ninety-ninth level. Even if I am blasted down instantly, at least... I will have reached the top." Qin Yu thought secretly.
Qin Yu thought it was quite feasible.
In Qin Yu’s view, there was still a slight possibility.
"Brother Qin Yu, what are you going to do?" Marquis Kui Yin exclaimed.
At this moment, the surrounding crowd was shocked, because Qin Yu was climbing again! He had failed twice, yet he was attempting the climb again? Everyone couldn’t understand what Qin Yu was thinking.
"This Qin Yu, does he think that climbing the Heavenly Ascending Steps can enhance his understanding of Space?" Zhou Xian frowned and said.
Everyone did not understand what Qin Yu was thinking, but Qin Yu continued to climb nonetheless.
...
Once again, Qin Yu reached the ninety-seventh level.
On this ninety-seventh level, Qin Yu stopped again, constantly familiarizing himself with various spatial attacks.
"If I can’t even stand firmly on the ninety-seventh level, I guess as soon as I get onto the ninety-eighth level, I’ll probably be blasted down." Qin Yu was very familiar with the difference between each level.
Closing his eyes, Qin Yu could even visualize various strange spatial attacks in his mind, and he tried his best to stand firm amidst those attacks.
For about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, once more, Qin Yu was blasted down.
...
Qin Yu supported himself on the ground with one hand and stood up directly, staring at the peak of the Heavenly Ascending Steps: "Now I’m like walking a tightrope, always on the verge of being blasted down, yet unable to stand completely steady."
Immediately after, Qin Yu, disregarding the words of those around him, climbed up again.
Duanmu Yu, Marquis Kui Yin, Shen Tufan, and a few others exchanged glances, then sat down cross-legged to the side, saying no more. And others also dispersed one after another.
"That Qin Yu, he wants to torment himself, let him be slowly tortured." Zhou Xian sneered and muttered, then walked to the side and ignored Qin Yu anymore.
******
"Boom!"
Qin Yu once again fell to the ground. Nearby, Duanmu Yu, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes to glance at him. Duanmu Yu had already forgotten how many times Qin Yu had attempted to climb.
Already six months!
For a full six months, Qin Yu had tried over and over again, falling each time. During this half year, Qin Yu had been stuck at the ninety-seventh layer. He had not advanced any further.
"Qin Yu..." Duanmu Yu felt a stir within himself, "if I had been as persistent as Qin Yu back then, perhaps the outcome would have been different."
Suddenly a hint of pain flashed through Duanmu Yu’s eyes, and his face turned even paler: "No, persistent? I was already so determined, if I had forced myself to continue, what significance would there have been in winning her over?"
In Qin Yu’s eyes, it seemed that nothing could stir Duanmu Yu’s emotions.
A man who could be called perfect was now trembling slightly in pain, but just for a moment before Duanmu Yu completely calmed his emotions again.
"If it’s time to give up, then give up!"
Duanmu Yu immediately closed his eyes again.
...
It was still the ninety-seventh layer.
At that moment, Qin Yu had been standing on the ninety-seventh layer for nearly an hour, with the "Space Power" smoothly and skillfully altering around him, skillfully counteracting attack after attack.
"It’s about time, I can make a push now!"
Qin Yu’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
He took a step!
Right now, no one was paying attention to Qin Yu. After half a year of continuous attempts, people had become numb to him, some even believed internally that Qin Yu was a fanatic.
The moment Qin Yu stepped onto the ninety-eighth layer went unnoticed by others.
As soon as he touched the ninety-eighth layer, Qin Yu felt his body jolt violently, but his eyes reddened and he hysterically controlled the Space Power to resist.
"Just a little longer, one more step!"
On the ninety-eighth layer, Qin Yu felt his body swaying, likely to be blasted off at any moment, so he took another step without anyone else’s notice.
The ninety-ninth layer!
As soon as Qin Yu reached the ninety-ninth layer, he felt an unstoppable Spatial Suppression. Without any resistance, he was directly hurled downwards.
"Bang!"
He crashed heavily to the ground, his bones were compressed and several were broken, and his blood even stained the ground. But...
Qin Yu was smiling!
"Although it was brief, I at least reached the ninety-ninth layer." Qin Yu felt his heartbeat quicken, "If the Heavenly Venerables keep their word, since I reached the ninety-ninth layer, they should appear and meet me."
Qin Yu couldn’t help but clench his fists, his body slightly trembling.
In his mind, Meteor Tear emitted a green light, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Yu’s injuries were completely healed. He stood up and scanned the three auxiliary halls.
Suddenly—
Hao Jun appeared at the entrance of Leisurely Hall.
"Qin Yu’s tenacity is astonishing, having reached the ninety-ninth layer of the Heavenly Ascending Steps, Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate has just issued an edict, inviting Qin Yu into ’Leisurely Hall’," Hao Jun’s clear voice echoed throughout the Floating Island.
"Ah!"
All who heard this sound were shocked, even Duanmu Yu, who had been sitting cross-legged with closed eyes, opened them in astonishment and looked towards Qin Yu.
"What? He reached the ninety-ninth layer?" Zhou Xian, who was chatting and laughing with Yao Lin, suddenly turned around, looking in Qin Yu’s direction with disbelief in his eyes!
Duanmu Yu, Marquis Kui Yin, Shen Tufan... and others all gathered here.
Everyone was surprised as they looked at Qin Yu.
At that moment, Qin Yu had a slight smile on his face.
Duanmu Yu walked up to Qin Yu, his eyes filled with shock, admiration, experience, and respect. He then exclaimed with a smile, "Qin Yu, I really didn’t expect you to be able to climb up these ninety-nine steps. I, Duanmu, admire you!"
Marquis Kui Yin also stepped forward, his eyes showing a hint of joy, "Qin Yu, the fact that you climbed the ninety-ninth step, I too admire you."
"And me." Shen Tufan also came over.
Unlike Zhou Xian, Qin Yu had tried time and again to ascend. Over the past half a year, no one around him really knew how many times Qin Yu had failed. But they knew... Qin Yu failed many times every day.
A full half a year of continuous attempts.
Qin Yu had succeeded!
Not yet at the Divine King Realm, but he had ascended the Heavenly Ascending Steps!
This was a record in the Divine World!
"Brother Qin Yu, the Heavenly Venerate is still waiting for you in the Leisurely Hall," Hao Jun’s voice came from above. Qin Yu nodded slightly, then bowed his hands to Duanmu Yu, Shen Tufan, and the others, "Everyone, I must go ahead."
Duanmu Yu and the others also nodded with smiles.
Under everyone’s gaze, Qin Yu directly ascended the steps in front of the Leisurely Hall. The majority of those watching held admiration in their eyes. Meanwhile, Zhou Xian, who had received the blessings of the Heavenly Venerate early on, felt quite uneasy.
Qin Yu was also about to receive blessings from the Heavenly Venerate.
Eventually, it would be only him and Qin Yu who had been blessed by the Heavenly Venerate, but Qin Yu had ascended the ninety-ninth step of the Heavenly Ascending Steps. And him?
*****
"Brother Hao Jun." After ascending the steps, Qin Yu bowed to Hao Jun. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"The Heavenly Venerate is in the garden behind the Leisurely Hall," directed Hao Jun. Qin Yu nodded appreciatively with a smile, then stepped into the Leisurely Hall.
...
"I’ve finally succeeded." Walking along the path, Qin Yu felt nothing but excitement, but as he approached the garden gate, he started to feel nervous.
The Heavenly Venerate!
He was about to meet the Heavenly Venerate!
The legendary Divine Dragon, rarely seen by even the Artisan God ’Che Hou Yuan’. And now, Qin Yu was about to meet the Heavenly Venerate.
One step into the garden gate.
Qin Yu’s heart suddenly calmed down, precisely speaking, the ancient and serene atmosphere of the garden affected him. As he entered, Qin Yu’s gaze swept around.
A solitary and lean figure, with hands behind his back, was standing with his back to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu instantly focused on this slender figure in a purple robe. From the silhouette alone, it appeared to be a man. Qin Yu felt a slight tremor at the bottom of his heart: Was this the person who was the legendary... Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate?
As Qin Yu looked at him, the man in the purple robe also turned around at the same time.
"What does Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate look like?" Qin Yu stared intently at the man in the purple robe. When the man turned around and his face came into Qin Yu’s view, Qin Yu’s attention was caught by those eyes.
Those eyes were actually a dark red!
