Chapter 785.1 [A Good Kid Will Get Good Karma]
After climbing up a hundred steps, there was a huge platform above it, so big that it was no problem to build a few Yue family castles at random. Further up, there was a path branching away.
One side of the path was lush woods, while the other side was a beautiful pristine lake.
Except for the stone steps, there were no law prohibitions on the platform, which was not very different from the ground, and should be considered as a resting place for warriors who were climbing the stone steps.
“Let’s take a break!” Of course Yue Yang would not be tired from climbing the hundred steps, but seeing that Yue Bing’s face was already covered in sweat stains, he gently wiped the sweat away from her face and stroked her head as a form of praise. It hadn’t been too long since Yue Bing broke through to become an Innate, and although she had gone through several great battles, she was still only an Innate Rank 5. Her main fighting style was assasination, and relying on the combination of her inherent skill [Intense Poison] together with [Antiaris], she could often kill enemies far more powerful than her. If any warrior below Innate Rank 8 were to face Yue Bing in battle, they would be in for a headache. However, this did not mean that Yue Bing had the strength equal to an Innate Rank 8, she had just listened to Yue Yang’s advice and adopted a fighting style which maximised her battle potential and capabilities. In regards to this sister of his with excellent potential, Yue Yang was not in the least bit anxious to let her quickly rise to the next level in cultivation, instead preferring to let Yue Bing take her time and lay a good foundation.
If it wasn’t for her excellent foundation, it would have been a bit of a struggle for Yue Bing to climb the hundred stone steps while fighting against the pressure that was exerted by the Power of Law here in one go.
Now, in just one minute, Yue Bing had climbed to the top of the hundred steps with her brother.
If it were any other Innate Ranker of the same rank, it would have been an impossible feat!
Besides, Yue Bing was still wearing armour that was several times the weight of her body.
The difficulty would have multiplied by several times.
The Golden Crown Thorny Flower Queen Duo Duo, the War Goddess Guard Sisters, Red, Ika and the Hornless Dragon girl, Jiang Ying, as well as Lie Yan, Drunken Cat Big Sis and Giant Lolli, all of them did not stay to rest, but continued rushing upwards in a frenzy, racing against each other. Especially the first few to start this mad dash, Duo Duo and the War Goddess Guard Sisters, Yao and Yu, had already disappeared ahead without a trace.
The Phoenix Fairy Beauty brought her Charm Demon Queen, and Luo Hua City Mistress brought her Snow Fox, both of them waving to Yue Yang, indicating that they would wait for him at the front.
He’d catch up anyway, and they were not worried about leaving him behind and going ahead first.
Ah Man stood guard by Yue Yu’s side, but Yue Yu waved her hand, indicating that she was still fine and could stand by herself. Although she had only climbed a hundred steps, her fragrant sweat was pouring down like rain, thoroughly soaking through her underwear, her breasts were undulating slightly, and she couldn’t help but gasp softly, looking even more strained than Yue Bing. Yue Bing could be said to be a main fighter. Both her physical strength and battle power were much better than Yue Yu, Yue Bing’s usual training intensity was also quite high, on the other hand Yue Yu belonged to the support type, and as she could not fly using her Angel’s Blade, she had to rely on her two legs to support her up the flight of steps which was indeed a bit hard for her.
When Sickly Beauty saw that there was a lake and a scenic view in front of them, she excitedly took out a drawing board, preparing to paint a drawing to commemorate this training while everyone was resting. She preferred to have fun more than cultivate, and as for her, Yue Yang just wanted her to be happy, and even if she cultivated, it would be dual cultivation where they cultivated together, such physical training was not Sickly Beauty’s forte.
Besides, if she had this much time to spend, she would only spend it on studying various rune diagrams. She wasn’t a main fighter, so she chose to assist Yue Yang in a different way.
She and Yue Yu both counted as Yue Yang’s back supporters.
Princess Qian Qian leaned her back against a tree root and meditated with her legs crossed, while the Prison Emperor Divine Sword rested on her lap, entering the human-sword unity realm of enlightenment that Yue Yang had taught her.
She would never waste any spare time that could be used to cultivate.
Xue Wu Xia was reading.
Occasionally, raising those bright eyes under her long eyelashes to look at Yue Yang.
At this moment, Yue Yang was leading Yue Bing and Yue Yu towards the lake and tested the water himself first: “It’s so sweet, this water can be drunk, it’s very refreshing, I don’t see any problem even if we were to take a bath here!”
“Just leave us alone and go up first yourself, we’ll catch up later!” Yue Yu blushed bright red when she heard this and rushed to urge Yue Yang away.
“That’s right, brother, you go up first, I’ll definitely catch up with brother later!” Yue Bing raised her fist. Chasing after her brother had always been her goal, not only in climbing this Heaven Staircase, but also during normal cultivation, she would not relax. Although she didn’t have the great endowment or enlightenment that her brother had, she was not going to give up, and she definitely wouldn’t let her brother get further ahead from her!
“I’ll stay with them, don’t worry about it, or else, Ah Man could also stay with us.” Immediately after Yi Nan tested the waters, she happily took off her shoes and dipped her pearly white feet into the cool lake water with fine sand as its base, enjoying the comfort of the moment.
“Alright!” Yue Yang was of course at ease if Ah Man stayed behind to guard them, but he knew that if he did not turn back at some point and just continued climbing upwards, it would be impossible for Yue Yu and Bing’er to catch up with him, and they would only fall further and further behind. With their strength, it was estimated that it would be a bit difficult to even climb up to a thousand steps, yet he himself needed to climb up to the hundred thousandth step, it was impossible for them to keep up. He smiled and gently stroked Yue Bing’s forehead, helped her straighten her slightly sweat-soaked collar, and gave this stubborn sister of his another hug, encouraging her once more: “Try hard, brother is just a little ahead of you, you must do your best, I’ll be waiting for you up there!”
Yue Bing nodded hard.
With a steely determination on her face.
On the contrary, Yue Yu was unwilling to let Yue Yang hug her and hurriedly dodged, and when she really couldn’t escape, lightly boxed him with her fist: “I try my best, don’t rush me!”
However Yi Nan who was listening at a side knew that should Yue Yang start rushing ahead, then he would definitely be tens of thousands of steps ahead of them, they might not even be able to catch sight of his shadow, but instead of being sad, she was happy for him! She took the initiative to open her arms and cuddle with him: “I’ll try my best too, you wait for me!” Nibbling his ear, she quietly whispered, “Why don’t you sneak down at night, I’ll just keep quiet without telling Sister Yu and Bing’er!”
Ah Man stayed behind and was responsible for keeping the three of them safe.
With her, this battle god who possessed the Heart of the Earth and the Power of the Titans who would never tire, Yue Yang was at ease.
Besides, Yue Qiu’s Soul who was guarding the main entrance wouldn’t let anyone in, it had to be someone who could get his approval to come in and cultivate on this Heaven Staircase.
