Chapter 404 Si Nansheng Reaches the Summit of the Heavenly Ladder
"Wow!" Seeing the contents of the storage bag, Sect Leader Ye really had the urge to eat it all by himself!
"Don't make such a fuss. With my little apprentice here, we won't lack these things."
Li Tianhen looked at Sect Leader Ye with great pride.
With his little apprentice around, these things are minor matters.
"Alright, alright, I understand." Sect Master Ye waved his hand and sent Li Tianhen away.
He looked at the contents of the storage bag, his mouth practically watering.
After all the competition results were announced, the rewards were revealed: third place received a pill, second place received a spiritual weapon, and first place received the qualification to go to Stone Bell Mountain for the trial.
Of course, the qualification to go to Stone Bell Mountain has nothing to do with being the number one alchemist or weapon refiner; they have their own Sword Forest.
"Going by myself?" Si Nansheng looked at Li Tianhen with a puzzled expression.
“Okay, you can go by yourself.” Li Tianhen nodded.
"Master, what's the difference between this Stone Bell Mountain and the Stone Bell Mountain we climbed on the Nine Provinces Continent?" Si Nansheng asked.
"The Stone Bell Mountain on the Nine Provinces Continent is just a copy of this Stone Bell Mountain. Although it is very powerful, it is still much weaker compared to this one."
My little apprentice, the environment and pressure on this ladder to heaven are much stronger than anything you've experienced before.
"If you're sure when you want to go up, just take this token. You can go anytime within the next three years."
Li Tianhen looked at the token in Si Nansheng's hand and spoke softly. Si Nansheng looked down at the token in her hand.
"Master, I want to go now." Si Nansheng hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Li Tianhen.
"Are you sure?" Li Tianhen frowned slightly. He thought Si Nansheng would take a few days off.
"Okay, go and come back soon." Si Nansheng nodded with a smile, and Li Tianhen nodded in agreement.
Of course, he didn't let Si Nansheng go alone; instead, he and his master and apprentices went together.
A few days later, Si Nansheng looked at the Stone Bell Mountain in front of him in shock. This Stone Bell Mountain seemed to be much taller than the Stone Bell Mountain on the Nine Provinces Continent, and it seemed to reach straight into the clouds.
"The mechanism of the Heavenly Ladder is similar to the one you climbed before. The higher you go, the greater the pressure. This Heavenly Ladder has a total of 10,000 steps."
Back then, I could only climb eight thousand steps before I couldn't go any further. If possible, you'd better try to reach the top directly; that way, you can get a reward.
Li Tianhen looked at Si Nansheng and spoke. Si Nansheng looked up at the seemingly endless Ladder to Heaven.
Ten thousand steps? How long would that take?
"Then I'm off." Si Nansheng jumped off the spirit boat and headed straight for the Heavenly Ladder.
"Master, do you think Junior Sister can reach the summit?" Ye Yanqing asked, standing beside Li Tianhen.
"This... I don't know either. I hope so. How should I put it, this reward is really rare."
Li Tianhen watched Si Nansheng's resolute figure, and Ye Yanqing and the others fell silent, watching Si Nansheng quietly.
Si Nansheng climbed the steps one by one. At first, she walked smoothly, but gradually, she could feel the pressure building up.
But she can completely ignore these pressures.
Si Nansheng was very fast, and soon climbed to the 500th step. After the 500th step, the pressure increased again, but Si Nansheng's speed did not slow down.
The several nascent souls within her body were rapidly absorbing spiritual energy.
One thousand steps...
1,500 steps...
Two thousand steps...
As Si Nansheng climbed higher and higher, he began to feel the pressure.
"Master, it's been five days. Is Junior Sister alright?" Mo Yu paced back and forth anxiously for a few days before looking at Li Tianhen.
"She should be fine. If something had happened, her body would have already been thrown down the mountain." Although Li Tianhen was also anxious, he remained relatively calm.
He prayed silently that Si Nansheng would be safe and sound.
At this moment, Si Nansheng was sitting cross-legged on the eight thousand steps, surrounded by colorful spiritual energy.
Another day passed before Si Nansheng opened her eyes and continued climbing. This time, she would stop to cultivate every hundred or two hundred steps.
Meanwhile, Li Tianhen and the others waited anxiously below.
A month later, when Si Nansheng stood atop Stone Bell Mountain, the sound of bells resounded throughout the entire Xuan Tian Continent.
The sound of the bell attracted the attention of countless people.
"Eight rings, nine rings... Master, nine rings, it rang nine times, Junior Sister succeeded." Mo Yu and the others looked excitedly at Stone Bell Mountain.
Li Tianhen's face also showed relief. His little apprentice had accomplished what he had failed to do. Haha, this was really something to be proud of!
"Master, why hasn't Junior Sister come down yet?" Bai Ye asked Li Tianhen anxiously.
"She has already reached the top of the ladder to heaven, so she won't come down so soon. Let's wait and see; there's no danger."
A smile played on Li Tianhen's lips. Ye Yanqing and the others were surely out of danger, and they all quieted down.
At this moment, Si Nansheng stood at the top of the Heavenly Ladder, listening to the bells that resounded through the sky and watching the glow of dawn appear above the clouds.
"Si Nansheng, reach the summit!" A solemn voice appeared in Si Nansheng's mind. Before Si Nansheng could react, three orbs of light appeared in front of him.
Si Nansheng leaned closer and found that the sphere of light contained three different types of houses.
Not understanding what was going on, Si Nansheng raised his hand and gently touched the most magnificent building among them.
Unexpectedly, the ball of light dispersed, and the other two balls of light also disappeared.
"What's going on?" Si Nansheng asked in confusion, and the scene in front of him changed.
She appeared in a courtyard, and the houses in the courtyard looked somewhat familiar.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Si Nansheng realized that this was the house that had been shown in the light sphere earlier.
"Greetings, Master. Please name your house." A clear, melodious voice rang out. Si Nansheng looked around but didn't see anyone there.
"You're saying this courtyard is mine now?" Si Nansheng asked.
"Yes," the voice continued.
Si Nansheng lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Si Yuan".
"Okay, this place has been named 'Siyuan'. This will be your private residence, and no one else may enter without your permission."
The voice disappeared completely after it finished speaking. Si Nansheng looked around and thought, "This is indeed a good place!"
"Since this is my place, I can let my master and the others in, right?" Si Nansheng thought for a moment, then took out a communication jade slip to notify Li Tianhen and the others.
In the blink of an eye, Li Tianhen and the others appeared before her.
"Oh my god, that scared me!" Si Nansheng was startled.
"Junior Sister? You scared us half to death, didn't you?" Mo Yu looked around with lingering fear, then looked helplessly at Si Nansheng, who smiled apologetically.
She never expected that Li Tianhen and the others would appear right here after she had just thought about it!
Could it be because they are located within the area of Shizhong Mountain?
"Little apprentice, is this your prize?" Li Tianhen asked, looking around.
"Well, after I reached the top, three orbs of light appeared in front of me. I just thought the courtyard was pretty, so I clicked on one. I never expected that this place would become my courtyard," Si Nansheng explained embarrassedly.
