Summit Farmer-Chapter 2264 - 2262: Stepping onto the Staircase

Time ticked away, and soon, the large-scale competition began.

People who had registered came from all around. At first glance, Peter Brown saw faces filled with anticipation. Looking at their clothes, there was a wide variety, and many appeared quite disheveled.

"The Great Void Sect Competition begins now. There is only one rule: anyone who steps onto the hundredth step can enter the sect and become a Sect Disciple. However, there are differences within this. Simply stepping onto the hundredth step only makes you a Chore Disciple. Only those who reach the hundred and tenth step are considered official disciples. If you reach the hundred and fiftieth step, congratulations, you will become an outer sect disciple."

Peter didn’t ask any questions, as he had already learned some information from the waiter. Official disciples are only a part of the disciple category, but there is still a significant gap between them and outer sect disciples, let alone inner sect or true inheritance disciples.

When coming here, Peter had thought about it. During the competition, he could only display the cultivation level of the Body Refining Third Level; showing too much would draw attention. Therefore, he didn’t plan to strive for a higher position this time. After entering the sect, he could still fight for it.

Being someone sealed, suddenly showcasing his extraordinary cultivation would not be a good thing. freewebnoveℓ.com

With that thought in mind, Peter decided to maintain a calm and low-profile demeanor.

As he stood there, Peter turned his head and noticed a cold gaze directed at him.

Looking towards this gaze, Peter saw in the distance the steward of the Harrison clan standing there. At this moment, a middle-aged man exuding evil spirit began striding towards Peter’s direction from beside the steward.

Looking at this middle-aged man, Peter discovered that he had the cultivation of Body Refining Level 4.

Although the Body Refining Technique is available for sale in this mine, it only goes up to the Third Layer. This middle-aged man appeared clearly to be a miner in the mine, yet he possessed the cultivation of Body Refining Level 4.

Peter quickly figured it out; this man must be an enforcer trained by the Harrison clan within the mine. Their existence is to suppress the miners.

Seeing the man approaching and looking at the expressions of the Harrison clan members, Peter naturally knew that the clan didn’t want him entering the sect. This man’s only purpose was to make him disappear or eliminate him.

While thinking, the middle-aged man arrived at Peter’s side, his entire body exuding evil spirit once more. He coldly said to Peter, "I, Caleb Clarkson, have slain dozens of people at the Body Refining Third Level in this mine. The clan doesn’t want your life this time; it’s enough to cripple you. Kid, you may be on the Sect’s Dueling Platform, but there are many things you don’t understand."

As he spoke, he waved his hand at Peter, and some black threads, invisible to the naked eye, flew towards Peter.

Others might not see it, but Peter’s eyes narrowed. He didn’t know exactly what the man used, but he understood it might also be an item capable of locking onto him among those steps.

With a secret beckoning of his hand, those black threads were pinched into a small ball invisible to the naked eye by Peter.

Sweeping his gaze, Peter saw a young man who looked very arrogant.

This was a young man also filled with evil spirit. No one dared to approach him, as if getting close would lead to annihilation.

It’s you!

Peter smiled lightly, not doing anything for now, merely using his energy to wrap the small ball.

At this moment, Peter also discovered that the dark energy inside the small ball had a tremendous penetrating power, trying to infiltrate his hand.

Indeed, tricks from the Second Heaven!

Sensing the power of this thing, Peter was somewhat surprised. Even in the Second Heaven, the power of the family should not be underestimated.

The middle-aged man, seeing Peter ignore him, didn’t dare to be too blatant here and just snorted at him.

Right at this moment, as the sect steward finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, a magic treasure-like item came out of his storage bag. Then, the item grew in the wind, quickly creating a road to the heavens on this square. At first glance, Peter saw that the naked eye could only see dense fog above, stretching to infinity.

However, as Peter opened his Vertical Eye, he found that the end of the fog was just around a thousand steps with no special setup, clearly just a testing step, nothing special.

Seeing no apparent danger, Peter felt somewhat at ease.

"Now, everyone may step onto the stairs. Good luck to you all."

Just as the announcement ended, Peter flicked the small ball in his hand onto the arrogant young man.

As the small ball flew away, Peter saw it explode, with the dark energy streaming into the arrogant young man’s body in threads, soon disappearing inside him.

Then, one after another, people rushed forward. As everyone surged onto the steps, Peter noticed they all seemed to enter some illusion, their figures slowing down.

Indeed, there’s some trick!

As Peter saw Caleb Clarkson glance at him and stand onto the steps.

Smiling, Peter also stepped onto the platform right afterwards.

As soon as Peter stepped onto the platform, he noticed it was far from an ordinary step. The scene around him transformed, and he seemed to enter a Land of Wilderness, surrounded by a vast force of the barbaric wilderness, with various Heavenly Dao powers directing towards him.

Not only that, but Peter also saw a few competitors not far away, alongside fierce beasts appearing there.

This isn’t simply a test of endurance!

Upon witnessing this situation, Peter understood. It’s an illusion challenge, and although everything inside is a Metamorphosis, getting injured could be fatal. Even if it didn’t kill, the damage to one’s body and Divine Sense would be hard to repair.

Glancing at the people around, then at the vast area, Peter thought to himself that he didn’t know what kind of place Caleb Clarkson entered, probably a similar one, just a bit further from him.
