Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 71 Above the Stairs

"Big brother, are you sure you want to go up?" Eight Treasures Chicken was quite worried.

"Of course."

"Won’t you reconsider?"

"Reconsider what? When the night is deep and no one is around, that is the best opportunity," Chen Pingping said seriously. "In this way, it won’t cause too much of a sensation."

Eight Treasures Chicken: "..."

To this day, no one could clearly state the length of the staircase; only a vague concept existed: five hundred steps.

Moreover, surpassing a hundred steps was not as simple as a matter of one or two days.

The point it was trying to impress upon Chen Pingping was that there simply wasn’t enough time!

Yet, Chen Pingping’s tone conveyed a clear message to it: he intended to climb up in one night, retrieve the body of the Primitive Demon God, and then walk back down.

Besides, just because it was late at night didn’t mean no one would be around.

Hmm? Arriving at the foot of the staircase, Chen Pingping was instantly stunned. "So many people?"

The length of the staircase was one thing, but its width was at least three to five meters. At a glance, many figures were seated there in meditation. Only after a long while would one or two rise to move forward a bit before sitting down again.

Eight Treasures Chicken said gloomily, "The oppressive might and gravity on the stairs are what’s truly fatal. Records in the Ancient City state that surpassing a hundred steps requires at least a year or two. For over two hundred steps, it might take five or even eight years. As for three hundred steps... well, big brother, you’ll have to figure that out yourself."

"So you’re saying one night won’t be enough?" Chen Pingping frowned deeply.

"Correct."

"There must be exceptions, right?" Chen Pingping asked.

"None!"

"I don’t believe it," Chen Pingping said. "Throughout history, hasn’t there been a single supreme genius who could achieve it?"

As a transmigrator, he had read too many novels and knew that protagonists often possessed abilities far beyond ordinary people. How could it be that no one had ever conquered such a staircase? To spend decades on it? What a joke!

Saying this, he rolled up his sleeves, eager to get started.

Eight Treasures Chicken stared with wide eyes. "Big brother, are you serious?"

"You guys wait here; I’ll give it a try," Chen Pingping said.

Jin Qiongyu, who had been following closely, frowned. Just as she was about to step forward, she was surprised to see Chen Pingping take his first step onto the staircase.

Jin Qiongyu murmured to herself, Hmm? This guy is strange.

She always felt something was off.

The maidservant said, "Miss, that chicken..."

Jin Qiongyu said, "Wait a moment. Let’s see what he’s up to first."

He just arrived, didn’t even pause to think, and stepped directly onto the staircase. Is that what a normal person would do? It’s just too bizarre! In her opinion, this guy must be crazy.

Ten steps, twenty steps...

Chen Pingping advanced step by step, carefully sensing the oppressive might and gravity emanating from the stairs. There’s quite a bit, but it’s not a major issue, he thought.

By the thirtieth step, a young man from the Wilderness tribe, who was meditating there, looked up at him, puzzled. Then, he said indifferently, "Young man, that’s not how you climb these stairs. You need to be steady and solid, taking each step carefully to reach the end. Otherwise... depleting your strength too early will undoubtedly cause you problems later on."

He had a long-term plan, so he was taking his time.

Not just him; all the young people who decided to climb the stairs thought this way. They were prepared to spend eight or ten years, sitting down to meditate wherever they felt exhausted, earnestly contemplating the Tao present on the staircase.

If one climbs too quickly, they are bound to run out of strength prematurely.

Chen Pingping offered a slight smile but said nothing, continuing his ascent.

At the fiftieth step, another young man earnestly advised, "You’re moving too fast; this won’t do."

Chen Pingping still remained silent.

By the eightieth step, the young members of the Wilderness tribe who had advised Chen Pingping earlier looked astonished. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

At that height, even a King Tao powerhouse would need to proceed with caution, wouldn’t they? What’s with him? Isn’t he moving too fast? Could it be that he’s a peerless genius? But even a peerless genius doesn’t progress like this!

In the past, Huo Yan had also steadily advanced, taking a whole year to reach the 230th step. His achievement was something many could only aspire to, left far behind.

When he reached the hundredth step, the young people from the Wilderness tribe below were all dumbfounded.

That height had already surpassed the King Tao realm, surpassing the fifth order, and the crucial part was that his speed hadn’t faltered at all.

Eight Treasures Chicken looked as if it had seen a ghost, finding it hard to believe.

Earth Chicken, on the other hand, thought with a shudder, Monster! This guy is absolutely a monster!

Jin Qiongyu, lurking in the shadows, felt breathless. His speed is incredible, and he shows no signs of stopping! Which clan is he from? Why can’t I sense any Bloodline Power in him at all?

When Chen Pingping stepped onto the 150th step, the young people who had advised him earlier were utterly flustered.

Remembering their earlier words and now seeing Chen Pingping’s current achievements—all within just a few minutes—they felt as if invisible hands were slapping their faces, a hot, stinging pain.

"This kid is still moving forward, holy crap..."

"No way! No way! When did such a monster appear in the Wilderness tribe?"

"Who is he?"

"Don’t know."

"Heavens... he’s reached the 180th step and is still going, showing no sign of stopping at all!" The young members of the Wilderness tribe were dumbstruck.

They could guarantee that the historical records of the Ancient City contained no mention of such a monstrous talent.

Hmm! The oppressive force has grown considerably, and the gravity is much heavier, but it’s not a major issue, Chen Pingping noted.

He smiled and continued to stride forward.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the 200th step, his expression still calm as if he didn’t feel the pressure at all. However, the people behind him were in an uproar, as if they had seen a ghost.

Especially Eight Treasures Chicken and the young people who had advised him earlier; all were left breathless.

Two hundred fifty steps... two hundred eighty steps... three hundred...

The height was significant. He gradually entered a region shrouded in mist and finally disappeared from everyone’s view.

Chen Pingping didn’t know how long he had walked before he finally saw the end of the staircase—a pure land with trees, grass and wildflowers, mountains, and flowing water.

An ethereal, indistinct figure stood silently there.

The timing is off. This being exists in a different time, he realized.

After stepping into this pure land, the Six Tao of Reincarnation within his body stirred, and his Hetero Pupil saw through the truth.

"Human Clan," the ethereal figure spoke.

"Oh?" Chen Pingping smiled. "So you’re a predecessor of the Human Clan? No wonder I could get here so easily."

The ethereal figure said, "Can you help me?"

"Help with what?" Chen Pingping asked.

"Help me pull out the sword in my body. I’ve been trapped for too long," he said.

"But there’s no sword on you!"

"The sword lies beneath the Boundary Monument; my physical body is also there. If you pull the sword from my body, I will grant you a great opportunity," he continued.

Boundary Monument? Chen Pingping’s eyes darted as if he remembered something. Then he said, "Predecessor, do you know about the Devouring Sky Beast?"

"That was my mount," the Void said. "I was tasked with battling the Wasteland but was ambushed and ultimately fell here. I was suppressed beneath the Boundary Monument with a sword piercing my body, sealing my flesh. After the Devouring Sky Beast learned of this, it went mad seeking revenge for me, only to be wounded by a powerful enemy. It dragged itself to my side with its last breath."

Upon hearing this, Chen Pingping was moved. "What kind of powerful enemy? Are they in the Wasteland?"
