The pressure of this ladder had already reached a point where Chu Feng could hardly bear it.
However, even so, Chu Feng still took a difficult step.
Swish-
However, before Chu Feng’s foot could land firmly, it suddenly slipped, and Chu Feng actually tumbled down that ladder.
“Big brother Chu Feng!!!”
“Eunuch!!!”
Seeing that scene, the two of them, Battle Spirit Copper and Battle Spirit Ling, were instantly startled, and they were both in a hurry.
However, the two of them were unable to ascend that ladder at all, so they could only watch with bated breath, dryly anxious.
Snap-
However, when Chu Feng followed the ladder and fell halfway down the ladder, the pressure decreased and he actually grabbed the ladder and stabilised himself.
Seeing Chu Feng stabilise, it was only then that Battle Spirit Copper and Battle Spirit Ling slapped their chests and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the emotions on their faces had just eased, and then they became tense once again.
Chu Feng stood up, but he did not walk down the steps, but after wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, he unexpectedly walked upwards once again.
“Big brother Chu Feng, don’t force yourself, that pressure is not trivial, you might lose your life because of it.”Seeing that Chu Feng unexpectedly did not give up, Battle Spirit Copper could not help but dissuade him once again.
However, Chu Feng paid no attention to Battle Spirit Copper, but continued to move forward, and very quickly, he arrived again, at the place where he had fallen earlier.
This time, Chu Feng was prepared, and did not rush forward to take this step, but instead eased himself for a long time, stabilising his breath and adapting to the pressure here.
Only after he felt that it was already feasible did he take this step.
He successfully stepped up, but this pressure once again forced him to bleed from his seven holes, and his body once again trembled.
Once again, he returned to the state he was in when he fell earlier.
And at this moment, where Chu Feng was, there was still a certain distance from the end of that ladder.
Being here was already so difficult, and the pressure from above would only grow stronger, so no matter how one looked at it, he would not be able to successfully reach the top.
“Big brother Chu Feng, I beg you, don’t push yourself any further, you don’t know how terrifying that ladder really is, it really has killed many people, my father’s injuries, are considered light.”
Seeing that Chu Feng, was going to fight for his life, War Spirit Copper’s tears flowed out of his eyes in anxiety.
In his opinion, Chu Feng was extremely talented, and even if he did not ascend to the third level of the Land of Enlightenment, he would still have an excellent future, and there was simply no need to take such a risk and gamble with his own life.
“Spirit Copper, let me ask you, what was the situation when Senior Battle Haichuan ascended this ladder?”Chu Feng suddenly opened his mouth weakly.
“Elder War Haichuan? When he ascended that third level back then, it seemed like it was very easy.”War Spirit Copper said.
“Then, ever since your ancestors, built this Land of Enlightenment, other than Senior War HaiChuan, has anyone else ascended to the third level?”Chu Feng asked once again.
“No, Lord Battle Haichuan is the only one, not to mention that other than him, no one has ever ascended to the third level, even big brother Chu Feng, where you are currently located, no one has been able to ascend to it.”
“Therefore, big brother Chu Feng, you are already very powerful, and are the most powerful person other than Lord Battle Haichuan in all these years.”
“To be able to make it this far, you are already very impressive, there is simply no need to push yourself like this.”War Spirit Copper said.
“Spirit Copper is right, Eunuch, you’ve already proven yourself, there’s no need to push yourself and take this risk.”War Spirit Ling also advised.
In their view, if Chu Feng continued on, even if he did not die, he was afraid that he would be heavily injured, and that was not even a result they wanted to see.
“I’m afraid that you all have been deceived.”Chu Feng smiled and shook his head.
“Deceived?”Battle Spirit Copper and Battle Spirit Ling’s expressions stagnated, and their eyes revealed a look of incomprehension.
“If, before me, only Senior War HaiChuan had walked here, then… he would have never, back then, easily ascended to the third level.”Chu Feng said.
“Big brother Chu Feng, what does that mean?”Battle Spirit Copper and Battle Spirit Ling asked almost simultaneously.
“There are traces of blood here, and even though it has long since dried up after many years, I am still able to see the traces of blood, which extend upwards, straight to that third level.”Chu Feng said.
“In that case, Lord Battle Haichuan he, back then, was also compelled by that pressure, and had suffered serious injuries?!”War Spirit Copper and War Spirit Ling were very surprised.
After all, since childhood, the War Haichuan they had heard of, that was all very perfect.
War Haichuan, throughout his life, had never been defeated, and even this ladder that no one had been able to ascend, he had walked through it with ease.
However, right now, according to what Chu Feng had said, War Haichuan’s deeds were not true, and at the very least… he had not easily ascended this ladder.
“Spirit Copper, the bloodstains here, there is no way to be certain that they must be those of Senior Battle Haichuan, but I will tell you one thing.”
“The path of martial arts cultivation is to swim against the current, if you retreat, it will be very difficult to become stronger.”
“At this moment, this ladder is not just a ladder to me, it is a path, a path to the strong.”
“Perhaps, it’s not the only path to a strong person, but I don’t want to waste time looking for another path.”
“So… no matter what, I must defeat it.”
“This is the courage that a martial arts cultivator should possess.”
After saying those words, Chu Feng took another step.
At this level of the ladder, the pressure had clearly become much stronger again.
However, this time, the trembling on Chu Feng’s body did not worsen, and he surprisingly withstood it.
“Big brother Chu Feng, you!!!”War Spirit Copper, was dumbfounded by Chu Feng’s behaviour.
He had been stunned by Chu Feng, not by Chu Feng’s words, but by the willpower that Chu Feng was displaying at this moment.
That was the willpower of being indomitable and not giving up easily, it was a willpower that was extremely precious to a martial arts cultivator, yet it was on the contrary that most people did not have it.
With every step Chu Feng took, he rested for a moment, gradually adapting to that pressure.
He actually did, step by step, ascend to the third floor.
“Success, big brother Chu Feng he actually succeeded!”
“Sister, did you see that, Big Brother Chu Feng, he has successfully ascended to the third level of the Land of Enlightenment.”
“Heavens, that is the third layer that only Lord Battle Haichuan has ever ascended.”
Battle Spirit Copper was so excited as if it was him who had ascended to the third layer, it was a happy one.
“It seems that geniuses, not only rely on talent, but also rely more on hard work.”
War Spirit Ling’s eyes were also filled with horror, and at the same time, her pair of small fists, were clenched even tighter.
It was because she suddenly realised that not only was her talent inferior to Chu Feng, she was even inferior to Chu Feng in terms of effort.
It was just as well deserved that she had lived for so many more years than Chu Feng, yet she was so much weaker than Chu Feng.
Chu Feng, had already ascended to the third layer, and when he stepped onto the third layer, he unexpectedly had a feeling of relief.
The pressure that was so terrifying that at any moment, it could oppress him to the point where his flesh and soul would explode at the same time disappeared.
This journey had really not been easy.
However, when Chu Feng looked at the place in front of him, it was exactly the same as the place where Zhuan Haichuan had been when he was in closed-door cultivation.
Feeling the Way of Cultivating Martial Arts that was hidden above the walls, within the land, and even within the air, Chu Feng felt that everything was worth it.
“Chu Feng, you’ve succeeded, earlier when you were seeing things blurred, I was really worried that you would roll down again.”
“To think that this ladder, was so difficult to walk down, even you, you almost failed.”The Queen-sama, was similarly overjoyed, because earlier, she had also deeply sweated for Chu Feng.
At this moment, Chu Feng, on the other hand, Chu Feng was looking back and seemingly glancing at the ladder he had come from.
At this moment, on that ladder, there were still bloodstains remaining, that was Chu Feng’s blood, and although the bloodstains were not much, they had fallen on top of each step.
Therefore, at a glance, one could tell that this ladder was the result of Chu Feng stepping on his own blood and walking over.
Looking at that ladder, Chu Feng felt a great deal of emotion within his heart, but suddenly, the corners of his mouth hooked up into a smile as he said:
“The path of the strong is never that simple.”
“But I… like this path.
