Well, those two are out of the question, but thankfully the rest aren't too bad. As long as they're not compared to those two prodigies, they're acceptable.
It took two incense sticks' worth of time for Suiyi and Ziyou to finally stand on the six hundredth step, where they looked at each other and laughed.
"Guess what awaits us next?" Sui Yi asked Zi You, as if she had figured out the routine.
"The first stage tests our composure, the second tests our physical fitness and other things, and I think the third stage will test our mind or wisdom! As for how it will be tested, I don't know!" Ziyou glanced at the seemingly endless stone steps and wiped his sweat.
"This level, of course, is about questioning the heart! So I think we should hurry up and finish this quickly. I'm already looking forward to seeing what awaits us at the top!"
"good!"
As soon as Sui Yi stepped onto the stone steps, her senses changed completely. Every ten steps, there was a powerful-looking puppet that would attack anyone who reached that step. It was getting harder and harder as you went up.
Sui Yi quickly ascended the steps. On the 610th floor, just as she stepped onto one, the puppet's sword lunged at her. Sui Yi dove backward, the sword slicing past her. With another flip, she successfully landed on the 610th floor, facing the puppet. The puppet attacked again, but Sui Yi spun around behind it and struck with a palm strike. The puppet, struck by the force, was about to fall down the stone steps when Sui Yi grabbed its hand, snatched the sword from its grasp, and kicked it. The puppet was sent tumbling off the cliff.
The elders in the main hall looked constipated.
Is this even possible? This is the first time in hundreds of years that someone has openly snatched something from a puppet. No wonder the Supreme Elder has taken a liking to him; this is probably the first time he has ever done this before.
After Sui Yi snatched the sword, she didn't rush to climb up. Instead, she sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and carefully sensed the sword's mysteries. After a long while, scanning it with her spiritual energy, she realized the sword was just an ordinary thing, nothing special. It was a waste of her energy. She regretted not knocking the puppet down; she should have studied it. Perhaps she could control it, allowing puppets to fight each other, saving herself so much effort.
Sui Yi opened her eyes, looked at the puppet on the 620th floor, raised an eyebrow, threw away the broken sword in her hand, and rushed towards the second puppet at top speed.
This puppet is similar to the first one; it was also built by one person. I wonder which powerful being invented this Heavenly Ladder, as they were able to create such a puppet.
Sui Yi launched the first attack, suppressing the puppet. She closed her eyes and used her divine sense to penetrate the puppet's brain. Inside, a luminous orb was emitting a white light; nothing else seemed suspicious. Could this puppet be controlled by this orb? Was this the medium?
Sui Yi slowly probed with her divine sense, approaching the light pearl. It was covered with a layer of white runes, which Sui Yi deciphered after a long time. Sui Yi then formed hand seals and began to gradually deepen her divine sense into the light pearl. Finally, she found the thread connecting the puppet, which contained the spiritual power of a powerful being.
This spiritual power must belong to a high-ranking member of the Xuanfeng Sect. Should I sever it and control the puppet myself?
Sui Yi pondered, "Whatever, I'll just cut it!" This puppet shouldn't be worth much, otherwise it wouldn't be left here so casually! After thinking it through, Sui Yi began to act. Her mental energy transformed into a small knife, slowly grinding down the connecting wire. The rest of her mental energy gradually seeped into the light bead, replacing the previous puppet master's mental energy. Finally, after a few minutes, Sui Yi successfully severed the wire, becoming the puppet's master.
"Pfft!" Inside the main hall, the Ninth Elder spat out a mouthful of tea, some of which dripped from the corner of his mouth onto his chin. He quickly wiped it away.
"What's wrong with you?" Everyone looked at him and asked in confusion.
"It seems someone has cut off my connection with the puppet!"
"What?" everyone asked in unison.
"Someone stole my puppet!"
"Who on earth has such audacity and such talent?"
"Quickly check who's on the ladder above the six hundredth."
"Good!" As soon as the Grand Elder cast his spell, the situation above the six hundredth floor of the Heavenly Ladder appeared before their eyes.
There were already five or six people on the ladder above the 600th floor! Everyone was struggling to climb up.
"Strange, why has that kid slowed down?" An elder frowned and asked when he saw Sui Yi sitting on the 620th floor.
"Perhaps he has reached his limit, who knows?"
“No, the Supreme Elder’s vision would never be that bad. He must be doing something.” As soon as the elder said this, he stood up abruptly.
"It must be him; he's messing with my puppet."
"Uh! No way! We know how strong your mental power is." They didn't believe it.
"It must be him, my intuition is right! You'll see. I was wondering why he was so slow."
Everyone saw Suiyi stand up, stretch, and begin to climb upwards step by step.
"He's started!"
When Suiyi reached the 630th floor, she released the puppet from before to fight this one. After the fight was almost over, she used the same method to take down the puppet!
This is terrible! The Ninth Elder almost jumped up.
