Above the source of Tao

At this time, Yun Chang'an was taking a rest on the 448th step, catching his breath. There were not many people on the steps above. Looking around, he found that there were few people on the steps above.

His gaze then turned upwards and saw that several people were almost reaching the 500th step. The most eye-catching one was Lin Yuan'er. She had already crossed the 500th step and was heading towards the 600th step.

"Lin Yuaner?" Yun Chang'an murmured to himself.

Seeing Lin Yuaner's figure, only one person walked towards the 600 steps. Yun Changan stopped resting and walked towards a higher place.

"Congratulations, Master, for having a talented disciple."

At the same time, in the square outside the secret realm, a group of elders and disciples were complimenting them. Sect Leader Yihong had a calm expression, seemingly indifferent to the compliments from the outside world, but his heart was in turmoil. He secretly wondered in his heart, can Lin Yuaner really climb to the highest point?

The head of the sect had also entered this secret realm when he was young, but he did not reach the 700th floor. He only stopped at the 599th step. Then he looked at Zhao Xian again, and found that he had reached the 650th step. This also made Yihong feel dissatisfied for many years, and he would compare himself with this senior brother in everything.

Now that his apprentice is expected to surpass him, he naturally feels proud in his heart. He glances at Zhao Xian again. Zhao Xian also opens his eyes at this time and looks at him. Their eyes meet, and there is a sense of competition.

Yihong and Senior Brother Zhao Xian were originally brothers from the same class and were as close as brothers, but Senior Brother Zhao Xian was better than him in everything and had been competing with him since they were young. But he still could not beat Zhao Xian in anything.

Now that he had such an outstanding disciple, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Xian twice. Zhao Xian was too lazy to pay attention to him. After confronting him for a while, he turned his head and closed his eyes, no longer looking at him.

This inevitably made Yihong a little annoyed.

At this time, Yun Chang'an had already crossed the 500th step, and under the astonished gazes of many inner disciples, he stepped into the 501st step.

"Who is this person? Why have I never seen him before?" a disciple asked puzzledly.

"I don't know, it looks like he's from the outer sect."

"From the outer sect? How could that loser Zhao Xian have such a disciple? I don't believe it. He must have used some tricks." Hengyu said dissatisfiedly.

"Brother, please be careful with your words." The fellow student next to him reminded.

"What are you afraid of? Who can hear it?" Hengyu said disdainfully.

The two people who were talking were Hengyu and one of his junior fellow apprentices. Seeing Yun Changan stepping onto the 500th step, they did not want to be outdone and wanted to climb those 500 steps.

But just as one foot stepped onto the 500th step, he felt a huge pressure that made it hard to breathe, as if it was going to crush his bones. He quickly withdrew his foot, gasped, and sat down on the ground.

"The pressure was so terrible that I couldn't even put one foot down."

Looking at the two figures above, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, what kind of monsters are these two people, actually being able to withstand the pressure from above.

Yun Chang'an didn't know what was happening behind him at this time. He just lowered his head and kept climbing up. An hour later, Yun Chang'an saw Lin Yuan'er resting on the 600th step, so he quickened his pace and came to Lin Yuan'er's side.

"Junior Sister Yuan'er, you can't go up?"

Yun Changan came to the 600th step and asked Lin Yuaner.

Lin Yuan'er was already in a happy mood, but was suddenly stunned by this question. But then, she frowned and looked at Yun Chang'an coldly, turned around and walked upwards without speaking to him.

Yun Chang'an saw that Lin Yuan'er ignored him and scratched his head, not knowing what was going on.

"Forget it, I'll go up too." Yun Chang'an muttered to himself, and then Yun Chang'an followed Lin Yuan'er's footsteps. The two of them walked up one after the other. Every step required tremendous courage and strength to move forward.

Another hour later, the people outside the secret realm saw a young man following Lin Yuan'er, and they began to discuss in a low voice.

"Who is this guy? How did he climb more than 600 steps?"

The crowd gradually started talking about Yun Chang'an. At this time, Zhao Xian also opened his eyes and saw that in addition to Lin Yuan'er, there was someone else who climbed the 600th step. Looking carefully, he found that it was Yun Chang'an who was following slowly behind.

This was far beyond Zhao Xian's expectations. He thought that a young man with such talent could actually come to the outer peak. The elders in the sect must be blind. Such a good disciple was sent to the outer gate. It must be that those people in the sect lived too comfortably and were lost in something.

He was even more disdainful of these inner sect elders.

He was greatly surprised by Yun Changan's performance. He thought to himself that since Yun Changan had such talent, it would be no problem for him to get the Nether Flower. So he finally smiled knowingly and left.

"Six hundred and sixty-six steps!"

Yun Chang'an let out a long sigh and stood side by side with Lin Yuan'er. Lin Yuan'er turned her head and no longer looked at Yun Chang'an.

"Junior Sister Yuan'er, we're almost at the top." After hearing Yun Chang'an's words, she turned around and looked at him.

"How is your waist injury?"

"Ah? You're talking about this. I'm much better now. I was delayed for a few days to heal my wounds, and Junior Sister Yuan'er was worried."

"I'm glad you're okay, keep going."

So, the two of them walked side by side, and after reaching the 690th step, they finally couldn't stand the pressure from the stairs and didn't move forward another step.

"Are these two little guys really going to reach the top? Is there really going to be a monster in my Shangyang Sect? Is there any hope for the Shangyang Sect to be revived?"

Yihong looked at the two figures in the mirror and muttered to himself, with a look of shock on his face.

"Congratulations, Master. The Shangyang Sect has hope for revival."

Many people in the audience were cheering, and Yihong was enjoying it all very much. He turned to look in the direction of Zhao Xian, but found that Zhao Xian had disappeared.

Reluctantly, he averted his gaze, thinking to himself, I hope that this boy will not really pick that flower.
