The world is filled with myriad sects, horrific demons, and rising heroes, but each only reigns for a few hundred years. This world had no protagonist; it was merely a cycle of one power replacing ...
"I have three swords, one is the slowest, and one..."
As soon as these words appeared, the downward steps vanished in an instant. Li Sisui subconsciously recited the newly appeared words, his eyes filled with doubt. As he climbed the steps, his cultivation at the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm plummeted like a waterfall cascading down a cliff. Li Sisui only took three steps before his cultivation dropped to the tenth level of the Transcendent Realm!
However, he had long been disheartened with his cultivation level. Since it was as useless as chicken ribs anyway, what harm was there in returning it to zero?
Never mind, we'll see when the time comes, let's keep moving forward! He was very curious about what kind of scene awaited at the end of this heavenly staircase.
Without hesitation, Li Sisui lifted his leg and continued to step upwards. His cultivation at the tenth level of the Divine Transformation Realm seemed to have been torn open, and he instantly fell to the eighth level. Without any further pause, he fell to the first level of the Divine Transformation Realm. As his cultivation reached its limit, Li Sisui felt weak all over!
But looking up at the endless heavenly staircase ahead, must we stop here?
Before he could make any further moves, his previously depleted cultivation level miraculously began to recover, as if a spring had appeared on parched ground. His cultivation level rose steadily and quickly recovered to the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm!
Li Si was overjoyed. Although he didn't understand why, he didn't care about that now and continued forward!
In this way, whenever his cultivation reached its limit, as long as he stayed still, it wouldn't be long before he would recover to the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm. This cycle repeated itself, and Li Sisui got closer and closer to the end of the Heavenly Staircase. As he continued to move forward, the distance between him and the booklet also began to shrink.
Previously, those few large characters were no bigger than a fingernail in his eyes, but now, as the distance kept getting closer, they were almost the size of a hundred-story building. Eventually, he couldn't even see the whole character. Although he was prepared, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him!
As his cultivation level kept disappearing and reappearing, he gradually came to a realization: these lost and regained cultivation levels were not due to his protagonist aura or any special talent, but rather the result of his body's unwavering dedication and cultivation over a thousand years!
Although the third level of Divine Illumination was the ceiling of his cultivation, as his cultivation continued to condense, he could not break through upwards and could only expand horizontally. From quantitative change to qualitative change, his cultivation reserves reached a terrifying level, which can be said to be inexhaustible. Among those of the same level, it was almost an endless and inexhaustible existence!
Of course, the so-called inexhaustible is just an exaggeration. In reality, Li Sisui's thousand-year cultivation has an end. As he climbs more and more steps, the rate at which his cultivation is consumed also increases exponentially. In the end, his cultivation at the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm can only climb one step before it reaches its limit!
Li Sisui felt his cultivation level fluctuate wildly, like a rollercoaster ride. He felt weak all over. There were only a dozen or so steps to the end of the Heavenly Staircase, but he didn't even have the strength to move a finger. His depleted cultivation level hadn't even recovered to the third level of Divine Illumination before it was completely drained. His cultivation recovery speed couldn't keep up with the rate of consumption!
At this moment, Li Sisui had arrived in front of the booklet. He was under the character "sword," and at this moment, he truly felt what it meant to be insignificant. He couldn't even see a single dot of the character "sword" anymore. It was as if the whole world was just that one dot, let alone the five large characters and the entire booklet!
Li Sisui knew that at this moment, it was no longer just a contest of cultivation, but also a test of will. He could even see an empty platform at the end of the steps. He was very much looking forward to what would happen after he climbed onto the platform, but the dozen or so steps in front of him had become an insurmountable barrier!
He was unwilling to give up. Having come this far, no one would willingly give up!
rush!
Grit your teeth and persevere!
Victory is within reach!
Li Sisui roared inwardly, constantly encouraging himself, but the reality was that he really didn't have the strength to take another step forward. Moreover, as his cultivation level reached its limit again, the expected recovery never happened. It wasn't until much later that Li Sisui had to accept the reality that his cultivation level was truly exhausted!
Looking at the finish line that was so close at hand, and then at the dozen or so steps under his feet, Li Sisui couldn't help but curse, "Are you kidding me?"
If he had come a little earlier, he wouldn't be so unwilling. He was just one step away from success, and you're telling me it's no use?
Go to hell!
Li Sisui took a deep breath and looked back. Apart from the golden heavenly staircase beneath his feet, there was only endless void behind him, which seemed to be mocking his incompetence. No, he absolutely could not give up. He had to climb up, even if it meant crawling!
thump!
Li Sisui fell straight down on the steps, which was not very elegant, but the effect was immediate. Using his height, he moved forward a long way. Now there were only six steps left in front of him. Success was just one step away!
However, the excruciatingly powerful suction force within his body kept tearing at Li Sisui, making him feel as if he were in a twisted vortex. The immense forces coming from all directions were almost tearing him to pieces, making his body feel like it was about to fall apart. But no matter how the powerful suction force pulled, he could not squeeze out even a trace of his cultivation power...
Li Sisui was drowsy, too weak to even open his eyes. With sheer willpower, he managed to lift his head and look at the increasingly blurry platform in front of him. He knew he had done his best, and although the result was not satisfactory, what could he do? A wave of weariness washed over him, and he felt his eyelids grow incredibly heavy. Sigh, it's over, it's all over. It was all just a dream after all…
Just as Li Sisui was about to close his eyes, a long and resounding dragon roar suddenly burst forth from his dantian. This sudden sound invigorated him, and upon careful observation, he couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Five Dragons Divine Travel Pill! How could I forget about that! Six dragons empowering the head, double the effect, a full six hundred years of cultivation, ahahaha!"
Charge!
The appearance of the Five Dragons Divine Travel Pill was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, rekindling boundless hope in Li Sisui, who had already accepted reality. It really proved his earlier thought that he would climb up even if he had to crawl!
Level 6
Level 5
The six hundred years of cultivation provided by the Five Dragons Divine Travel Pill were being drained away at a visible speed by the abnormal suction of the last few steps, like a drop of water in a desert. Li Sisui couldn't care less about that now; he only had one goal: to climb onto the platform!
Level 4
Level 3
Two levels!
However, after only five steps, he had exhausted his six hundred years of cultivation. At this final moment, Li Sisui could only see the platform that was a palm's width away. Despite the exaggerated and abnormal suction force tearing at him, he felt as if he was being crushed into a meat patty. But this time, he would not give up. His eyes were unfocused, his teeth were clenched, and he slowly placed his hand on the platform!
At this moment, the world was silent, the crazy suction force disappeared instantly, and although Li Sisui's eyes were closed, the corners of his mouth were turned up, and his whole body exuded an unprecedented sense of ease!
