Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#371 - Chapter 370: Climbing the Ladder to Heaven (I)

“Ascend the Heavenly Ladder, overcome evil spirits, and reach the Cloud Platform to enter the Spirit Pot Battlefield.”

As he stepped onto the first jade step, a voice entered his ears, somewhat similar to the previous lazy voice, but a little more serious.

Zhang Yuanjing paused, his mind filled with surprise—only reaching the "Cloud Platform" counts as entering the Spirit Pot Battlefield? What were those previous places then? A trial before entering the battlefield? Doesn't this mean that Shu Tianqi and Huo Tiantong don't even have the qualifications to enter the battlefield!

Overcome evil spirits, what evil spirits?

He ascended another step, and the wind and waves were calm. He took another step, and still nothing happened. So he quickened his pace, rushing up hundreds of steps.

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, the sky darkened, and wails filled his ears, as if he were in a realm of ghosts. From time to time, a wisp of cold air drilled towards him.

Zhang Yuanjing spread his mana, isolating the cold air. However, the sounds of crying and wailing continued unabated.

He pretended not to hear, stepped up, and quickly passed one step after another. When he reached the two hundredth step, the scene changed again, thunder and fire surged in the sky, and the ground shook under his feet. The suspended jade steps seemed to collapse at any moment.

He raised his foot and stepped onto the two hundred and first jade step, a cloud of black mist fell from the sky, covering his head.

In an instant, illusions arose in his sea of consciousness, and hideous ghosts seemed to warn him that if he took another step, hell would descend, and he would die without a whole body.

Zhang Yuanjing allowed the scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, demons dancing wildly, and even his own death and soul dissipation to appear again and again, but his footsteps did not stop, and he soon ascended the three hundredth jade step.

“Boom!”

A cloud of thunder exploded, and countless electric snakes fell from the sky, brushing past the jade steps, as if only a finger's distance away, they could blast Zhang Yuanjing into ashes.

Zhang Yuanjing took another step, and a huge force suddenly fell from the sky, pressing him down on the jade steps.

“Is this also an evil spirit?”

Zhang Yuanjing was a little puzzled, but did not complain. He used the Origin Stone to protect his body, resisted the huge force, and then gathered his mana, climbing up step by step.

The crushing force became heavier with each step. But there were still hundreds of jade steps under the clouds.

He didn't know how many more steps he could climb, nor did he know what kind of opportunity or danger awaited him if he climbed up, and what kind of ending he would face if he couldn't climb up.

But, no matter what, he didn't want to give up.

On the pavilion in the Misty Spirit Pot Realm, Xie Tianwei had said in person that he already knew that Yin Tianfu had been killed by him. This shows that this person had long known that those who held the same jade pendant would fight to the death once they entered the tomb at the same time. Letting Yin Tianfu and him hold the umbrella jade must have been deliberately arranged by this person, just to let Yin Tianfu kill him.

At the beginning, Lin Tianxian spoke harshly to him. Although her words were unpleasant, they were also the truth. Even if he took the initiative to hand over the umbrella jade and the cauldron jade, Xie Tianwei would not be grateful at all, but would be even more intolerant of him returning to Tianque Mountain.

Perhaps, as the female cultivator said, Xie Tianwei would think of Wu Yuankui, the one who made him hide in the shadows and wait bitterly, and become increasingly desperate, when he saw him.

Since this person does not allow him to return to the mountain gate, then he will destroy his opportunity in this Spirit Pot Battlefield and make him completely despair!

At this moment, an unprecedented fighting spirit erupted in his heart!

He ignored the increasingly heavy pressure on his body, and disregarded his mana drying up rapidly like a puddle of water exposed to the scorching sun. He stubbornly climbed another hundred steps, reaching a stone platform about a hundred paces wide.

“Yuanjing, you're here too?” An old Taoist sat cross-legged on the ground, looking painful.

“Uncle Yu! Are you injured?” Zhang Yuanjing was shocked and hurried forward a few steps to ask.

Yu Tianwan smiled bitterly: “I ran into Xie Tianwei when I reached this place and was injured by him.”

Zhang Yuanjing asked in confusion: “This place is not yet the Spirit Pot Battlefield, why did he attack you?”

Yu Tianwan said seriously: “I stopped him from climbing the ladder. This place is dangerous, and it was opened by that Senior Myriad Worlds Pot with the Sect Leader's Golden Seal, so it's probably not a good thing. I advised him to stop and not let the sect's Core Formation cultivators suffer any more losses. He was simply stubborn, obsessed, and completely lost the pattern and responsibility that the Xuan Tian Sect Leader should have!”

The scene of Xie Tianwei communicating with the Myriad Worlds Pot with the Sect Leader's Golden Seal, it seems that all the Xuan Tian Sect cultivators who entered the Spirit Pot Realm can see it.

Many thoughts flashed through Zhang Yuanjing's mind, and he shook his head: “This place must be related to his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, how could he give up because of your persuasion. I'm afraid that we will all die, and he can be promoted to the Nascent Soul Realm, he will insist on it without hesitation.”

Yu Tianwan said angrily: “I originally only felt that he was narrow-minded and shallow in knowledge, but I didn't know that he was so ambitious that he would not hesitate to use the lives of his fellow disciples to exchange for the opportunity to advance!”

Seeing that his emotions were agitated, causing his injuries to worsen, Zhang Yuanjing quickly said: “Uncle, don't be angry, heal your injuries first, and then make plans.”

Yu Tianwan waved his hand: “This little injury won't kill me. I guess Senior Brother Hu must have gone to the higher jade steps. He has the best aptitude and the strongest strength, and he must be the first to go up. Xie Tianwei went later, maybe he will fight with him.

“These two are the strongest combat power below the Nascent Soul in the sect, and neither of them can be damaged. Yuanjing, I beg you for one thing, you must promise me!”

Zhang Yuanjing immediately guessed what he was going to say, so he said calmly: “Uncle, please speak.”

Yu Tianwan grabbed his hand and said sincerely: “Yuanjing, in the Mustard Seed Space, you were only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, but you could go to death with Yuankui, which shows that you are loyal to the sect. This time, Xie Tianwei is going his own way and may kill all of us here.

“I will die if I die, but after all, there are six or seven Core Formation cultivators, and the Xuan Tian Sect can't afford such a loss! Yuanjing, I am seriously injured and have no strength to climb the ladder. Please be sure to ascend the Cloud Platform and assist Senior Brother Hu in subduing Xie Tianwei and preserving the strength of our sect! This is also saving yourself!”

He looked at Zhang Yuanjing, his eyes full of expectation, firmness, but also guilt and helplessness.

Yu Tianwan seemed to believe that only one person could obtain the great opportunity here, and the rest would surely die.

Therefore, he could only subdue Xie Tianwei, who could communicate with the Myriad Worlds Pot, and ask him to request the Myriad Worlds Pot to withdraw the secret realm and let everyone out.

If this method is successful, it can save all the Core Formation cultivators here. However, Zhang Yuanjing offended Xie Tianwei to the death.

As long as this person is the Sect Leader of the Xuan Tian Sect for one day, Zhang Yuanjing will not be able to return to Tianque Mountain for one day, and even face his vicious and endless revenge. At that time, Zhang Yuanjing would have no choice but to escape far away.

Zhang Yuanjing sincerely admired Yu Tianwan's loyalty to the sect. Even in deep trouble and severely injured, this old man still tried his best to maintain the overall situation of the sect. However, this is not the path he, Zhang Yuanjing, wants to take.

He made up his mind, looked at Yu Tianwan with reverence, and said in a deep voice: “Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely ascend the Cloud Platform and stop Xie Tianwei from getting the opportunity!”
