Chapter 2740: Giving Pointers

Why doesnt he proceed?

He cant go further, perhaps?

Yes, we cant see beyond the hundred steps because the mist is thicker. I wonder, how does it look like beyond the one hundredth step?

How would we know? Didnt you notice that everyone who reached the one hundredth step of the Immortal Ladder fell down?

He probably doesnt have the courage to go up there! Its already incredible that hes brave enough to attempt to climb the Immortal Ascension Ladder at such a young age.

Indeed, we are watching from down here, and we dare not even try.

The cultivators who looked up from below talked, wondering why the figure in dazzling red didnt go any further.

Feng Jiu stopped at this juncture because she noticed that Old Patriarch Xie did not slow his pace after he and his son had reached the one hundredth step. Xie Yan had only reached the second step when it became difficult for him to take another.

She observed his slightly lifted steps trembling slightly, not out of fear, but because he was striving to lift his feet forward. After just two steps, his clothes were drenched in sweat, his breathing became ragged, and his breath became disordered.

This ladder will not be easy to climb when ones hearts obsession is too deep.

A faint voice entered Xie Yans ear. With a start, he looked back. The young man in red had arrived two steps away behind him without his knowledge. However, he watched in awe as the youth took one step at a time, eventually pa.s.sing him and now walking in front of him.

Based on your cultivation, you should be able to go within ten steps. Dont you believe it? Let go of your obsession and try walking again. Feng Jiu did not look at him again after that; but continued climbing with ease, as if stepping on the ground. Xie Yan was astonished.

What surprised him even more was the familiar voice. Feng, Feng Jiu? You are Feng Jiu? The appearance, clothing, and temperament were obviously different, but the voice was so familiar.

No, how could the temperament be different? Wasnt that Feng Jius wanton and arrogant temperament? Didnt he have the same awe-inspiring breath when he fought the Ruan family?

When Feng Jiu was ten steps away from him, she stopped and looked at him. Yes, its me.

Xie Yan was ecstatic when he heard this reply. He got rid of his obsession without hesitation and tried to bring his mind back to peace. When he walked again, his step was lighter than before.

However, as he walked up, the Immortal Ladders strong pressure and momentum left him out of breath, and he only made it to the ninth step.

It looks like I cant keep going. He gave a bitter smile, knowing that if he forced himself to climb the ladder, he would likely be struck by Heavens Law and die.

Feng jiu gave a slight nod. Its already quite good. You should go down the ladder! You have a wife and children at home waiting for you.

Xie Yans heart was shaken. He looked her in the eyes and bowed to her. Many thanks.

He had a wife and children at home waiting for him. His only considerations were for his wife and children. The most important thing was for him to stay alive and get back home. He gave Feng Jiu a salute, glanced at the Immortal Ascension Ladder and then turned around and went down.

After seeing him turn around and descend the Immortal Ladder, Feng Jiu turned away, looked ahead, and continued to move up.
