3695 Her determination
Was he really going to give up? If it was someone else, facing the remaining nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, other than giving up, there would be no better choice.
However, Ling Chuxi would not. His mother had already waited bitterly for so many years. He could not let her wait any longer. Even if he had to use his last bit of strength, he had to find his mother!
Ling Chuxi took a deep breath and started to climb up again.
On the long stone steps, a deep line of sweat was left. It was like raindrops gathering, winding down and gradually drying up.
Gradually, the sweat began to reveal speckles of bright red, giving off a strange poignant beauty.
The corners of Ling Chuxi's mouth were already stained with blood and her face was deathly pale. Each of her trembling steps was so difficult that she had to exhaust all her strength. However, her eyes were still looking at the end of the stone stairs with determination.
Behind her, the stone steps meandered down. Even Ling Chuxi herself could not remember how many steps she had climbed. She only knew that she would only be able to see her mother after she had stepped on the last stone step.
"Chuxi ..." Seeing Ling Chuxi's trembling steps and the blood at the corner of her mouth, LAN Xinyu's heart ached as if it was being tugged at. Her eyes were misty with tears.
"I didn't expect that she would be able to climb so many steps of the heavenly stairs. This is beyond my expectations." Beside him, Dongfang Yunhui sighed with admiration.
"What did you just say?" LAN Xinyu was slightly stunned. From Dongfang Yunhui's words, it seemed that she did not have any hope for Ling Chuxi to climb the 10001 steps of the sky-climbing ladder.
"Back then, when I was still at the sovereign level, I only managed to climb up 974 steps of the stairway to heaven. In the end, I returned without any success. Chuxi has already climbed up to 1136 steps. She's much stronger than I was back then." Dongfang Yunhui said.
"What? you couldn't even reach the sovereign level?" LAN Xinyu looked at Dongfang Yunfei in shock.
"The stairway to heaven is as difficult as climbing the sky. Do you think it is so easy to climb it? in the history of the Qing-Yun realm, there are only a few monarch level cultivators who have reached the top." Dongfang Yunqi rolled her eyes and said.
"Then why did you still let Chuxi go?" LAN Xinyu said anxiously.
"Didn't she want to go? If she was not allowed to see her mother, she was afraid that she would go crazy. Besides, don't I also want to see if she will give me a surprise?" Dongfang Yunhui said disapprovingly.
"What happens if I can't climb up?" LAN Xinyu asked.
"If you can't go up, then come down. What else can you do?" Dongfang Yunhui said.
"What if she doesn't want to come down?" LAN Xinyu asked.
"That's not up to her to decide. Don't underestimate the 10001 steps, this is actually the number one ancient sect in the heaven region, the heaven seeking sect, used this to recruit disciples. It contains the power of the heavens and earth, if she can't withstand it, she will be sent down. " Dongfang Yunhui shook her head and laughed.
With her aptitude, she could be considered a rare cultivation genius, but she still couldn't resist the powerful might of heaven and earth. She only ascended to the 9740th step before she was helplessly sent down.
"Then what if Chuxi insists on fighting to the death and is unwilling to come down?" LAN Xinyu continued to ask.
"Are you done? I've already said that it's not something that can be defied by human strength. Otherwise, in the past tens of thousands of years, how could the number of people who climbed to the peak of the sky Ascension stairs with the strength of a monarch be counted on one's fingers?" Dongfang Yunhui impatiently roared.
"I just want to tell you that Chuxi will never give up. If the thing in front of her is really the might of heaven and earth, she will persist even if she has to pierce through the heavens." LAN Xinyu looked at Yunfei in the East and said solemnly.
