Chapter 176: Chapter 176: The Act of a Reckless Man _1
Translator: 549690339
About an hour later, most of the loose cultivators participating in the Tianti Road had gone up.
The highest one among them had already reached the one-thousandth floor.
There was a kind of pressure on Tianti Road. The higher one went, the stronger the pressure. But at the same time, there were endless chances. Qin Changqing found that many loose cultivators started cultivating directly on Tianti Road. Some were knocked down, but after falling to the ground, they were not discouraged. Instead, they excitedly exclaimed, “Ah! I got it!”, and then left impatiently.
“It seems that most of them have gained opportunities, whether they have traveled far or near,” Qin Changqing thought. Before long, the sect forces began to join in. Piaomiao Sect, Taixuan Sect, and Leihuo Sect entered the stage one after another, as well as several demonic sects. They did not take action immediately after entering, as they were wary of each other.
The people of the Dayan Dynasty did not take action. Their eyes were always on Qin Changqing from the Lingxiao Sect.
“Wanjian Pavilion has entered.” Someone said.
As Wanjian Pavilion made its move, Qiushui Pavilion and Huntian Sect also followed suit.
Qin Changqing found that Jian Yiyi was a bit against the heavens. After she rushed up, she ran wildly all the way like a normal person, as if the pressure on Tianti Road did not exist at all.
Si Hongyue followed closely behind. Jian Yiyi turned her head and glanced at her, wrinkling her nose before continuing to charge up.
Lin Ziyan from Qiushui Pavilion quickly followed, and the gap between the three was not large. They ran all the way like on ordinary roads, leaving those loose cultivators scrambling under pressure with their mouths agape.
“Let’s go up too,” Qingning said.
She could ignore those loose cultivators, but she had to compete when Jian Yiyi and others made a move.
With their Senior Sister leading the way, the disciples of Lingxiao Sect followed one after another. Qin Lingshuang looked at Qin Changqing, waiting for his action.
Qin Changqing showed a smile to the Dayan Dynasty side.
“You go first, I’ll wait a little longer,” he said to Qin Lingshuang and the others.
“There are opportunities for everyone on Tianti Road. You don’t need to worry about me.”
He worried that the girls would delay this trial for his sake.
“Senior Brother, take care.”
Nangong Xue took the lead, and then Qin Lingshuang and others followed one after another. The Dayan Dynasty saw their movement and thought that Qin Changqing was going too, but the latter did not move.
He didn’t move, and those people seemed not to plan to move either. Obviously, they were determined to kick Qin Changqing down at the first opportunity.
“Humph! Petty-minded people.” Mu Taixu complained, “The Dayan has really regressed, none of this generation are of any worth.”
On the Dayan Dynasty side, only the Third Prince and a few others went up. Those left behind seemed to be specifically targeting Qin Changqing.
“Hehe- Don’t be in a hurry.”
Qin Changqing smiled. He didn’t care whether he could go up or not on Tianti Road.
After another hour, he finally stretched his waist and moved, when the person in the first place had reached the two-thousandth floor.
As soon as Qin Changqing moved, the remaining people of the Dayan Dynasty immediately sprang into action.
However, Qin Changqing stepped onto Tianti Road and stopped at the first floor.
The people of the Dayan Dynasty all stopped and looked back.
Tianti Road allowed entrance but not exit, and only the same level could compete.
“So, it’s actually so wide.” After getting up, Qin Changqing found that the width of each step on Tianti Road was more than three meters, even though it looked like an ordinary staircase from the outside.
“It doesn’t seem to have any pressure.”
He looked at the Dayan disciples in the distance with a friendly smile.
Suddenly, he rushed up, so fast that it was shocking.
“Shit!” Those Dayan disciples who were prepared to attack him were caught off guard. By the time they reacted, Qin Changqing had already charged out
dozens of floors away.
“Chase!”
“We must stop him!”
“Kill Qin Changqing!”
The Dayan disciples chased after him one after another.
However, they soon became desperate.The reason why Tianti Road is known as a trial is because it’s an extremely difficult path to climb.
According to past records, ordinary Tier 1 Golden Elixir cultivators without potential can’t even climb up to 100 levels. Talented disciples with good aptitude, who are sect leaders, usually reach 1,000 to 2,000 levels when they’re in the early stages of the Golden Elixir. In the middle stage, they can reach 3,000 levels, while the maximum that an ordinary Tier 10 Golden Elixir can climb to is around 6,000 levels.
Above the 6,000th level, only those with three-striped cultivations could go higher.
At that height, the influence of one’s cultivation decreases, while perception and physique take precedence.
That’s why the focus of the major sects on Tianti Road is on positions above the 6,000th level; anything below that is considered trivial.
“Why is Qin Changqing so fast? Even faster than Jian Yiyi, right?” someone said in surprise.
“Hmph! Using up all his strength in the beginning and running out of energy in the end – a reckless move.”
“You can’t really say that. Look at all those people from the Dayan Dynasty chasing him. Shouldn’t he run faster instead of waiting for death?”
“But isn’t the gap too big? Qin Changqing is about to reach the 1,000th level, while they’re still on the 500th level. How come the difference between the middle-stage Golden Elixirs is that big?”
“Perhaps those people want to save up some strength. They are bound to catch up sooner or later.”
Members of the major sects also took the opportunity to talk with each other at this time.
“Elder Mu,” Wu Gang from Wanjian Pavilion laughed, “that Qin Changqing of yours is in some danger, isn’t he?”
Lin Ruoyun snorted, “A rogue disciple, serves him right!”
Mu Taixu glanced at Nangong Fu and said, “What can we do about the pettiness of some forces? It’s not like our Lingxiao Sect should stoop to their level.”
Nangong Fu casually said, “Everything on Tianti Road is left to fate. If he truly has the ability, he won’t be hindered by such trivial problems.”
“Haha! This is the so-called righteous sect method, truly very righteous indeed!”
Wei Wuxian laughed loudly, “I heard that the Dayan Dynasty is collapsing soon? When it does, my Huntian Sect will definitely offer our help.”
He said this to Mu Taixu.
Of course, Mu Taixu didn’t fall for it. There was a difference between the disagreements among the righteous sects and colluding with demonic forces.
“Huh? Qin Changqing stopped.’ An elder spoke up.
Everyone immediately looked over.
They saw that Qin Changqing suddenly stopped at the 2,000th level.
At the moment, most people had just climbed to this level as well.
After all, some people were not rushing forward blindly. They would stop every once in a while to carefully perceive the Tianti Road. Otherwise, they would miss such a great opportunity.
So, when these people looked up and saw Qin Changqing fiddling with something at the 2,000th level, they were instantly confused.
“What’s he going to do?”
They saw Qin Changqing take out a bunch of things from his storage bag— cured golden chicken, lotus leaves, mudballs, condiments, stone ovens, and a pile of cut chicken legs and wings.
He lit a fire, set up a rack, and brushed oil on the chicken.
Sizzle—
Golden oil sizzled and released a rich aroma under the heat.
As Qin Changqing roasted the chicken, he smiled at a passing female cultivator, “Junior sister, the Tianti Road is long, why don’t you stop and have some chicken?”
Female cultivator: “???”
They had seen people break through, gain sudden insight, get beaten off the path, or even killed on Tianti Road.
But blatantly selling chicken on Tianti Road? Nobody had ever seen that, not even the MO Zi Cliff Host who had witnessed this event many times. When the female cultivator was asked by Qin Changqing, she hesitated. As she looked at his gentle and scholarly temperament, the effects of the Innate Furnace Cauldron came over him, and his smile touched her heart.
“Senior brother, I… I still have to continue upwards, so…”
“Don’t hurry.. Tianti Road only offers one opportunity, so what’s the point of rushing if you can go down but not up?”
