Chapter 24

Ling Xu guided Itachi to a training ground where all the disciples of the outer and inner sect practiced. At the center of this training camp was the Profound Stairs, and when Itachi saw it he soon realized.

"So there is indeed a device that can carry these stairs... Interesting." He thought.

These Profound Ladders were in the field where the entrance exam for new disciples was held, but now this Profound Ladder was here, which meant that there was a means to transport it.

Ling Xu seeing that Itachi didn't seem to have any questions soon left, but not before saying that Itachi could look him up if he needed more resources for cultivation.

Seeing that the elder had already walked away, Itachi began to move towards the Profound Stairs, and as he got closer, he noticed that there were many people here probably external disciples who cultivate daily in search of a breakthrough.

Itachi's arrival drew attention from the surrounding disciples, this because his clothes were worn only by the sect's core disciples.

Confusion was noticeable on the faces of the outer and inner disciples, but upon noticing a brooch on Itachi's waist, everyone realized who he was.

"So he's a student of the sect master. How lucky!"

"Amazing, the sect master usually doesn't have any students, but now there's one, and he's just a kid."

"His talent must be enormous!"

Voices began to sound in the surroundings after they realized that the child in front of them was a student of the Sect Master. Many wanted to approach this child because they knew they could gain many benefits, but upon realizing the stoic expression the child had many gave up on this idea.

Those more daring quickly approached Itachi, and with gentle voices full of praise these people tried to get into Itachi's good reins.

"Younger brother, come with this sister, I will help you in cultivation." One of the inner disciples said with a gentle smile on her face.

"Tsk! You look like a sexual predator, so stay away from the younger brother." Another female disciple said while pushing her away.

Within minutes Itachi was surrounded by disciples, all wanting to get his attention, but no matter how much effort these disciples made, they couldn't get his attention.

"How can they try to bewitch this little boy? He doesn't look older than five years old." One disciple said with a deprecating smile.

Itachi continued to ignore these people around him, he was already used to this kind of attention. Back in the shinobi world, he was surrounded by dozens of girls from ninja school.

Soon, Itachi arrived in front of the Profound Stairs, looking up, he noticed that there were many disciples here who were among the floor number fifty, but there was not a single one among the disciples who was on the steps above one hundred.

Those disciples who were around Itachi, realized that he wanted to climb the profound stairs, so with a warning tone they all said.

"Younger brother, you can't climb those stairs."

"Yes, she is right. You don't possess cultivation yet, so it's not good to try to climb up."

"Come with this sister, I'll show you how to start your cultivation!"

...

Ignoring what these disciples were saying, Itachi began to climb the steps of the profound ladder. This time there would be no time limit, so he could cultivate to his heart's content. Moreover, this training ground was in the open air, so he could cultivate at night much more efficiently.

Quickly he was already at step number fifty. Not only the female disciples around him, but also the disciples, everyone was shocked to the core.

For them it is very difficult to climb a single step, but here was a four year old boy climbing these steps as if it were nothing. Not only that, this boy climbed fifty steps in a few minutes.

"Impossible!" Said a disciple who was on step number fifty.

Those around him also opened their eyes and saw a little boy climbing the steps, many even spat out a mouthful of blood, wondering if the cultivation path was really for them.

Twenty minutes passed and again Itachi arrived at step number one hundred. Last time, he only made it this far, but this time he intends to cultivate at the top of these Profound Stairs.

Looking up, he didn't spot any other disciples, they were all stuck below the number fifty steps, so he wouldn't have to worry about them getting in his way.

"I wonder, how many steps are left to reach the top?" He thought as he went back up step by step.

Outside the steps, many disciples were gathered, and all had the same shocked face. Even the elder in charge of this training camp appeared to see what was happening.

When he found out that the commotion was because of the sect master's student, he personally broke up the crowd that was gathering to watch.

"Don't get in the way of the sect master's student, otherwise there will be severe punishments! And those who have malicious thoughts against him, hmph!" The Elder said with a cold tone as he walked away from the crowd.

The disciples who were gathered to watch Itachi climb the Profound Stairs soon dispersed, they were not fools, and they knew that the sect's punishments were simply malicious to the max.

Even as the disciples dispersed, rumors began to run throughout the sect. And soon, the little boy's name was revealed, Uchiha Itachi.

A little boy of four years old, who took the entrance test for the sect. In the entrance test he got to step number one hundred, and caught the attention of the sect master who soon took him as an apprentice. And all this while he had no trace of cultivation.

An even stronger rumor spread, and this one was even more shocking than the previous one. Uchiha Itachi, defeated a cultivator of the Peak of the Profound Elementary Realm, with just one blow. And because of this, the Old Sect Master, would nurture him.

All the disciples know that the Old Sect Master is the strongest person in the Blue Wind Empire, so being nurtured by this person is definitely the fate of millions of lives.

oblivious to these rumors and comments, Itachi had already arrived at step number one hundred and fifty. And here was the place he would take a break from cultivating. He felt that if he continued to climb his body would be negatively affected.

"I guess I can cultivate here for a while." He thought as he sat down to cultivate.
