Ch-20: Technique Hall(4)

"What the hell?" Bai Chenyu exclaimed when he saw a few disciples on the ground, groaning in pain. Some were kneeling on the ground, sweating, and breathing heavily. It looked like some kind of invisible force was trying to push them down. Bai Chenyu looked at the disciples with a frown on his face.

"Huff... Junior Brother, as expected of you, the spiritual pressure does not affect you at all," Feng Bing Huang said with a slightly strained breath. The spiritual pressure was also affecting her but did not force her to kneel down; it just made her feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Senior Sister, can you tell me what's wrong with them?" Bai Chenyu looked at the disciples on the ground and pointed his finger at them. A look of disgust and a sneer appeared on her beautiful face.

"Hmph, they overestimated themselves," Feng Bing Huang replied with a disdainful look, as if she were looking at trash.

"Can you explain properly?" Bai Chenyu asked, wearing a weary smile on his face, as he didn't glean any meaningful content from her previous words.

"This floor is a bit different from the other two floors, you see," Feng Bing Huang said with a smile on her face.

"How so?" Bai Chenyu asked with a frown. According to the information he read in the novel, it should be the same as the other two floors and contain techniques above the Earth Rank.

'Now that I look at this place closely, where the heck are the bookshelves?' Bai Chenyu looked again and saw there were no bookshelves here containing techniques. He was preoccupied with the state of the disciples, and he did not notice this before.

"Do you see that door over there?" Feng Bing Huang pointed towards the white-colored door a short distance from them. Bai Chenyu followed her direction and indeed saw a door.

"That is the entrance to this floor," Feng Bing Guang informed, which confused Bai Chenyu.

"What do you mean the entrance? Didn't we just enter through the entrance?" Bai Chenyu asked with a frown on his face.

"Hehe, of course not," Feng Bing Huang giggled, seeing the frown on his face.

"You see those trash lying on the ground? When you enter this floor, there will be a huge spiritual pressure that only Cultivators above the Core Formation Realm or someone with heavenly Qi can handle. Even Core Refinement experts have trouble entering and withstanding the pressure of this floor. Look at them; they are just at the peak of the Core Formation Realm, and they overestimated themselves. Now they are facing backlash for their reckless action," Feng Bing Huang said with a sneer.

'Heck, why have I not read about this in the novel?' Bai Chenyu thought in his mind, as he didn't remember anything like this in the novel.

"I see. So what's up with this white door?" Bai Chenyu asked with interest.

"Well, once you reach the other side of the door, you will be teleported to a separate dimension. Once you do, you'll see a large staircase called 'Spirit Stairs.' Every time you climb the stairs, the spiritual pressure will double. This place is only accessible to elders or Core disciples, as they are the ones who have high cultivation to withstand the pressure. But most fail to climb above the fiftieth stair," Feng Bing Huang informed, and Bai Chenyu felt his brain short-circuit.

'What the heck! What's going on? What the hell is this Spirit Stair, and why did the novel never mention this? Darn, is this a butterfly effect? Even the simulator didn't mention this.' Bai Chenyu's mind was in turmoil as he never read about Su Chen facing something like this in the novel. After digesting the information, he calmed down and looked back at Feng Bing Huang, who was silently waiting for his reply.

"You mentioned most fail above the fiftieth floor. Why is that?" Bai Chenyu asked, curiosity laced in his voice.

"Hehe, it's because you need Heavenly Qi to go beyond the fiftieth floor," Feng Bing Huang chuckled when she saw Bai Chenyu's stunned face.

'My slave looks so cute; I really want to lock him up in a room so that no one can take him from me.' Feng Bing Huang had a dark thought for a moment, and Bai Chenyu suddenly felt chills down his spine, which quickly disappeared.

"I see. So, did you reach above the fiftieth floor?" Bai Chenyu asked Feng Bing Huang with curiosity, as she was also the possessor of a physique and Heavenly Qi.

"Junior Brother, you overestimate me. Heavenly Qi is just one of the requirements, but you also need to have high cultivation. I could go up to the twentieth stair, but there are disciples and Elders who can climb higher due to their high cultivation," Feng Bing Huang replied. It was a great feat, and Mo Xiao praised her when she reached the twentieth floor on her first attempt.

"By the way, how many people have climbed up to the last stair?" Bai Chenyu asked curiously.

"Hehe, you have really bold thinking, Junior Brother. No one has ever reached the last stair, not even the founder of the sect. It is rumored he reached the 99th floor and got a technique that made him really powerful. He built a sect here that lasted for many years, but the technique disappeared with the founder. I'm sure there should be something even greater above," Feng Bing Huang replied, causing Bai Chenyu's eyes to widen in surprise.

'What the heck, not even the founder could climb the last stair,' Bai Chenyu exclaimed in his mind and became more interested in the staircase. Maybe he could also reach the 99th floor thanks to his Celestial Qi.

"I see, are you also going to try again?" Bai Chenyu asked her, and she was looking at him.

"Hmm, sure, why not? There's no harm in attempting it. I've also had my cultivation increase since the last time I tried," Feng Bing Huang said. Honestly, she did not have an interest at the beginning, but seeing Bai Chenyu go, she tagged along. She wanted to see his performance and was looking forward to it.

The disciples who watched them both going towards the door had their mouths hung open
