Chapter 633: Chapter 249: Ascending 90,000 Li (Part 2)

"This is an adventure!" An An said with a smile, "Dying with our friends, don’t you think it’s romantic?"

Fan Wubing scoffed, "Childish."

An An retorted, "If you’re not going up, why are you here? Just to take a look and gain some knowledge?"

Fan Wubing didn’t answer her, but looked up at the spiral stairway formed by the space fragments and the Power of Circulation, with a sparkle in his eyes.

An An looked at his side profile, feeling a stir of emotions, and couldn’t help but soften her tone, asking gently,

"What are you thinking?"

Fan Wubing raised his hand as if caressing the starry sky, "What do you think is on the other side of the starry sky?"

"What do you mean?"

"Could there be a planet in this vast starry sky that harbors life like ours?"

An An thought for a moment and said,

"As far as I know, it doesn’t exist."

Fan Wubing lowered his head and sighed.

The starry sky is vast, but there is no second planet containing life.

This is the theory of the Yin Yang School. The Yin Yang School explored everything, seeking the truth of Heaven and the destiny of life. Though they have declined now, no one denies their former brilliance. In the post-cultivation era, they were the ones closest to the Destiny Dao. They believe life is the result of many factors working together, and such a result will not happen a second time.

An An saw Fan Wubing was a bit melancholic, so she stood on her tiptoes, hugged his shoulder, and asked,

"What’s wrong, tell me?"

Fan Wubing shrugged her off, "Nothing." He quickly recovered his spirits, chuckled, and asked, "Anyone wants to join me on the adventure road of good buddies?"

An An excitedly raised her hand, "Me! Me! Me!"

"Then let’s go."

After saying that, the two of them strode up the spiral stairway.

The people around were astonished.

Someone exclaimed, "Look, those two people! They’re climbing the celestial stairs!"

Everyone gathered to watch.

The Celestial Stairway was filled with chaotic currents of void, remnants of Divine Techniques, and the uncontrolled will of the Dao.

The earth’s constraints, the crushing power of Circulation...

Countless dangers made this starting ground for the battle between Heaven and men a place everyone shunned. Yet danger signifies challenge. This world has always had no shortage of courageous people. They explore, they conquer. From ancient times to present, countless people have wished to conquer this spiral stairway, standing at the place closest to the starry sky, to witness its grandeur.

This is a heroic road that disregards life and death.

Precisely because they knew the danger of the spiral stairway and knew that this road represented the hope of repelling the heavens once before, no one would ridicule Fan Wubing and An An’s foolishness; instead, they would anticipate what height they could reach.

Someone asked,

"Where do you think they can reach? Can they come back alive?"

"The spiral stairway is ninety thousand miles high. Previously, the Sect Leader of the Xinghai Sword Sect, Lianye Great Sword Immortal, took a month to climb thirty thousand miles and then could not move an inch further, almost losing his life. These two kids... have you sensed their cultivation?"

A female Tribulation Immortal said,

"I glanced at the little girl, she seems to be only thirteen. As for the young man... I can’t sense his cultivation level."

Someone was surprised, "Even the Celestial Feather Fairy can’t sense his cultivation?"

"Hmm, it seems not simple."

"Seeing them come and go here freely and effortlessly, they should be experts. Possibly from the Immortal Continent, specifically here to challenge the Celestial Stairway."

"Hopefully, they can return alive."

People stood at the bottom of the stairway, looking up at the two figures ascending above them.

To Fan Wubing,

The path of climbing the stairway only required concern for the chaotic currents of void. Without mastery of the Cosmic Dao, it was difficult to deal with the chaotic currents of void. But everything else, like the remnants of Divine Techniques, the uncontrolled will of the Dao, and the crushing power of Circulation, posed no problem to him.

With a health bar of over 1.8 million,

The remnants of Divine Techniques and the will of the Dao harm him like a mosquito bite.

And he fears not the crushing power of Circulation.

This allowed him to clearly feel the mystique of the Power of Circulation. This was entirely different from the time he rode the Dragon of Destiny from Great Li, exploring the starry sky and feeling the Power of Circulation. The sensation here was more true, more pure.

Walking on flat ground, strolling leisurely.

He wasn’t challenging a perilous path; it was as if he was walking on a long-awaited grand avenue.

For one aiming for the starry sky, two challenges must be faced.

First, the constraints of the earth,

Second, the crushing power of Circulation. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

To break the constraints of the earth requires sheer power.

To withstand the crushing power of Circulation requires a resilient body.

Therefore, one who enters the starry sky must possess immense power and a resilient body.

Fan Wubing’s greatest strengths were his power and body.

He moved faster and faster, like a nimble antelope, leaping across various space fragments.

But An An couldn’t keep up.

Her cultivation was that of a Fourth-Tier Tribulation Immortal, but her pure strength and body resilience were lacking.

Fan Wubing stood on a space fragment and looked back at her,

"Do you need my help?"

An An’s eyes lit up, "Will you carry me?"

Fan Wubing chuckled, "I can hold you too."

An An shook her head, "No, I want to walk by myself."

Fan Wubing said, "We’ve only gone ten thousand miles. There are still eighty thousand to go. Are you sure you want to walk by yourself? Here, Divine Magical Treasures and the Dao won’t work. You can only rely on strength and your body."

An An paused, took a breath, "I know it’s a bit difficult for me, but I want to walk on my own."

"Alright then."

An An added, "You go your own way, don’t wait for me." She blinked her left eye and said with a smile, "If we’re good buddies, let’s meet at the peak!"

Fan Wubing laughed, "You, take care."

With that, he continued upward.

Below the celestial stairway,

The people watching Fan Wubing’s steps were unable to hide their shock and amazement.

They were frequent visitors to the Meteorite Highlands and had all climbed this high spiral stairway into the starry sky, knowing firsthand how terrifying it truly was.

On it, no magical treasures, Divine Techniques, or the Dao could be used.

Only strength and one’s physical body could be relied upon.

One must face the terrifying chaotic currents of void, the constraints of the earth, and the crushing power of Circulation.

Most of those present were Tribulation Immortals, among them many Fourth-Tier Tribulation Immortals seeking to comprehend the Dao. Outside, they were mighty figures who held sway over regions, but beneath the celestial stairway, they considered themselves as insignificant as ants—not out of self-deprecation, but from respect for the starry sky.

But Fan Wubing’s steps were like a giant stone falling onto the serene surface of the Meteorite Highlands’ lake, shattering the silence.

More and more people gathered to watch.

They all wanted to know how high Fan Wubing could ascend.

And then, they witnessed a dazzling performance.

Yes, it wasn’t a challenge,

but a performance.

They had never seen someone whose power was immense enough to ignore the earth’s constraints and whose resilience disregarded the crushing power of Circulation.

Fan Wubing took an hour to ascend ten thousand miles,

three hours to ascend twenty thousand miles,

half a day to reach thirty thousand,

two days to reach fifty thousand,

and after five days,

under the witness of over a hundred renowned powerful figures.

Fan Wubing, like an antelope, leaped over the last space fragment and succeeded in ascending the ninety thousand miles high celestial tribulation, standing at the point closest to the starry sky—no, standing where he could reach out and touch the starry sky.

For that moment, everything was silent.

The entire Meteorite Highlands was silent enough to hear a pin drop.

The world focused on him.

After what felt like an eternity, someone murmured,

"Five days... to ascend ninety thousand miles... Have any of you ever seen someone like that?"

An elderly veteran’s eyes glistened with past memories,

"I remember, the last person to reach the top was the Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable. But then, the Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable took merely a blink to stand at the top of the stairway and ended the millennia-long war between Heaven and humans in one punch."

No one doubted his words,

because,

the Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable, was invincible.
