Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

A flash of happiness appeared in Qingfeng’s eyes when he saw the bronze stone hall before him.

He knew that the Sun Monarch was buried within the stone hall. The majestic presence emanating from the stone hall conquered the heavens and earth; the entire underground space buzzed and creaked.

However, the stone hall was above a huge stone wall stage. It was only possible to reach the stone stage from the stone steps. There were more than a hundred stone steps, so it was quite difficult to climb up to the stage.

Qingfeng’s spirit energy was extremely powerful and he could sense a powerful presence on the stone steps. There was a talisman script engraved on each stone step.

The red scriptures were like suns that contained terrifying power and formed a strong protective shield over the stone hall.

Huozhu Chi, Linglong Xue, and Jun Po were three emperors of supreme dynasties. They were also the strongest fighters. They started to walk up the stone steps from the bottom of the stairs, but they felt that each step was quite difficult to climb.

A moment later, Huozhu Chi and Linglong Xue arrived at the sixtieth stone step while Jun Po arrived at the fiftieth stone step. The Devil Monarch, Demon Monarch, and the Ghost Monarch were standing on the fortieth step.

Qingfeng did not walk up the stone steps. He stood at the bottom and carefully examined them. He was thinking of a solution.

Xue Lin walked to Qingfeng’s side and asked, “Honey, why are we not walking up the steps? The inheritance of the Sun Monarch is right before us.”

Qingfeng shook his head and said, “Can’t you see? There is too much pressure emitted by the stone stairs. I am thinking about how I can lower the pressure since if I climb now, I will be suppressed, and it will be more difficult for me to climb up the steps.”

Qingfeng carefully observed Huozhu Chi, Linglong Xue, and Jun Po. He discovered that they were all utilizing the vital essence within their body. They used all their strength to kick away the scriptures around them before stepping up the stone step.

The Devil Monarch, Demon Monarch, and Ghost Monarch were also using the same method. These self-cultivators were depending on their vital essence, powerful techniques, and high-level treasures to force their way up the stone steps.

Qingfeng pondered for a moment before discovering an interesting phenomenon. He discovered that the stone steps seemed like they were alive, they were testing the self-cultivators climbing the stone steps.

Even those self-cultivators who were not powerful but had determination and a tough will managed to climb to a high position and were following closely behind those supreme masters.

Even though some self-cultivators were powerful, they had a weak will and determination. Thus, they were dragged down the stone stairs.

Qingfeng thought in his heart, I got it! In order to climb to the top of the stone steps, one’s Dao Heart is also very important.

Dao Heart was an abstract and mysterious thing, but it definitely existed. If a self-cultivator had a strong Dao heart, he would have a clearer goal and a stronger will.

Qingfeng said to Xue Lin, Mengyao Xu, and the others, “I discovered a method to climb up the stone walls. Don’t spend too much of your energy on utilizing your vital essence to climb the steps. Following your Dao Heart is the only way to get to the top. This way, you will also feel less oppression.”

After speaking, Qingfeng was the first to head towards the stone steps. He did not use all of the vital essence within his body. He only used a little bit of vital essence. However, a flicker of Dao heart appeared from the depths of his heart with a green flash.

Qingfeng looked towards the bronze tomb at the top of the hundred stone steps. His only goal right now was to arrive at the tomb of the Sun Monarch.

When Qingfeng’s feet landed on the first stone step, a crackling sound was heard. The sound was really soft so Qingfeng was the only one who heard it.

Just as Qingfeng walked to the stone step, the surrounding oppressive force rushed towards him. However, compared to the others, the oppressive force was still much smaller.

Qingfeng took another step forward and stepped towards the second stone step. His Dao Heart was determined and strong as he continued his path.

Even though the stone steps had terrifying oppression, and were covered with all kinds of scriptures, the oppression Qingfeng felt was minimal.

Qingfeng continued to make his way forward. Footstep sounds could be heard as he made his way on the stone steps.

Qingfeng took ten steps, eleven steps, twelve steps... fifty steps. Soon, Qingfeng caught up to Jun Po.

Jun Po’s expression changed when he saw Qingfeng. His face was covered in sweat. He had used all his might to climb to the fiftieth stone step. He was furious that Qingfeng had caught up to him in such a short amount of time.

“Bastard, how can you be so fast? Why aren’t you being attacked by the sun scriptures?” Jun Po asked Qingfeng furiously.

Qingfeng glanced at Jun Po and said, “Son, did you forget that I am your Daddy?”

A self-cultivator behind them chuckled when he heard Qingfeng’s mocking words. Qingfeng must be the only one who dared to call Jun Po his son.

Jun Po’s eyes turned icy. He said coldly, “Bastard, how dare you insult me. I shall teach you a lesson.”

Jun Po suddenly waved his fist and slammed a gigantic vital essence palm towards Qingfeng.

His goal was to slap Qingfeng down the stone steps. Once Qingfeng fell down the stone steps, the surrounding scriptures would definitely explode and injure him.

Qingfeng smiled coldly and a flash of mocking appeared in his eyes. He kicked his leg forward with the speed of lightning towards Jun Po’s vital essence palm. His strike caused Jun Po to take a fall from the fiftieth step to the fortieth step.

Jun Po opened his mouth to cough up a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

He had tied with Qingfeng when they exchanged blows outside of the Bronze Palace. How could he be easily defeated by Qingfeng on the stone steps?

Jun Po did not know that the attacks from the scriptures were directly because of his obsession with the tomb. Thus, the Monarchs of the supreme Dynasties felt the greatest oppression.

But Qingfeng’s Dao Heart was strong so the oppression he felt was the weakest. Thus, Qingfeng easily defeated him.
