“These are the stone steps forged by the hundred schools of philosophers. Each step is made by one of the hundred schools of philosophers. The ninety-nine steps represent ninety-nine of the hundred schools of philosophers. The last one is the gate,”the first Prince explained.

When the others heard this, they immediately understood that this thing was not something that could be completed quickly.

“Then how do we climb up?”Someone asked.

The first prince replied, “I really don’t know. I’ve never been up there before, and it’s not recorded in the writings of the philosophers.”

Ye Sheng saw that he did not seem to be faking it, so he did not probe further. He had indeed never gone up there before.

“I’ll give it a try,”Zhou Yi suddenly said.

The others looked at him and realized that he was only in the eighth change of the Golden Core realm, so they immediately looked down on him.

Was he looking for death if he went up with such a cultivation?

Didn’t he see that even the seventeenth change of the Golden Core realm was being suppressed to the point that it was hard to breathe?

Ye Sheng also said worriedly, “It’s very dangerous.”

Zhou Yi looked at the stone steps and said indifferently, “I might not be able to compete with you in terms of cultivation, but I’m a scholar.”

Zhou Yi was a scholar, and he had never forgotten this point. Since he was young, he had been studying seriously under the supervision of his father, studying the hundred schools of culture.

This stone step might be a big problem for others, but Zhou Yi firmly believed that there was no problem for him.

The others did not think highly of him, but Zhou Yi directly ignored them. Under Ye Sheng’s encouraging gaze, he walked through the void and stepped onto the stone step.

Everyone watched silently. Now, no one was anxious. This stone step was very strange. It was not something that could be rushed.

“Even the golden core of the seventeen transformations has been suppressed. This one is only in the eighth transformation of the Golden Core. He will probably be blown out.”Someone guessed. He was not optimistic about Zhou Yi.

“I think there is still a chance. However, he is not standing, but kneeling on the first step.”Someone laughed and mocked Zhou Yi’s overestimation.

“The cultivation of the eighth transformation of the Golden Core. If it was not for Ye Sheng, he would not have the qualifications to climb up.”Someone snorted. These people did not speak because of Ye Sheng.

No one thought well of Zhou Yi. Everyone was waiting for him to fail.

Under such expectations, Zhou Yi stepped on the stone steps.

Boom!

The pressure on the stone steps directly came down.

The seventeen change of the golden core realm laughed bitterly, “I can’t even do it, and you still dare to come up. You’re simply wishful thinking.”

Zhou Yi didn’t even look at him. His cold indifference was the greatest contempt. Under this pressure, Zhou Yi’s face became serious, and his aura greatly changed, turning him into a true scholar.

“In all things in the world, logic is the greatest.”Zhou Yi opened his mouth, and a great wave of righteousness surged out, colliding with the pressure.

Crack Crack Crack!

This pressure instantly disappeared into nothingness.

Zhou Yi stood unscathed on the first step of the stone steps.

This scene stunned the hundreds of people below. No one could understand what was going on. What was this?

The seventeenth transformation of the golden core realm was being crushed to death, but the eighth transformation of the Golden Core Realm Zhou Yi was unscathed?

“No, this isn’t fair. My cultivation level is higher than his.”The seventeenth change of the golden core realm was so jealous that his eyes were red as he shouted.

The people watching below were also not calm. Just now, they were all looking down on Zhou Yi, but they did not expect that in the blink of an eye, Zhou Yi would give them a hard slap.

It was so painful that their cheeks hurt.

Cuba smacked his lips and said, “Zhou Yi is so powerful.”

Ye sheng said thoughtfully, “He is a scholar.”

Just as Zhou Yi had said, he was a scholar, and the hundred schools of thought were all scholars.

Everyone could be a scholar, but a true scholar was not everyone.

This logic was very simple. Why was it that after the hundred schools of thought, Saints were basically useless, and only some quasi-saints appeared?

People were impetuous. In the eyes of many people, reading was just to let them learn some knowledge for other uses.

To become a sage through reading, this was in their eyes, a fantasy.

But Zhou Yi was different. He believed that becoming a sage through reading was the path after that. He would be like his father, a scholar for the rest of his life.

The first stage was very easy. Zhou Yi did not stop and continued to cross it.

The second stage.

The pressure was even greater, crashing down with a rumble.

Zhou Yi’s body swayed a little, but his expression was even calmer. His temperament was calm, and he actually fell into a kind of comprehension.

The second stage, stand firm.

The first jindan seventeenth transformation that rushed in had a mental breakdown. This guy’s cultivation was so much lower than his, but he actually reached the second stage, and he was still struggling in the first stage.

He really wanted to curse, really wanted to, really wanted to, really wanted to.

“Your father’s cultivation is so much higher than yours, why can’t I?”This jindan seventeenth transformation roared loudly, forcefully stood up, and took a step forward.

He also wanted to ascend to the second stage.

With this step, the seventeen transformations of the golden core had a ferocious expression. He wanted to prove that he could also ascend to the second stage.

The people below looked on, hoping that he could ascend to the second stage.

Ye Sheng’s eyes were filled with disdain as he said, “You’re courting death.”

If he relied on his cultivation to forcefully ascend this stone step, then what was the meaning of the hundred schools of philosophers setting it up?

Wouldn’t it mean that all eighteen transformations of the Golden Core could be ascended?

Bang!

As expected, just as this person reached the second stage of the seventeen transformations of the golden core, a thick pressure pressed down on him, directly causing his body to bend and his entire body to fall to the ground. He spat out large mouthfuls of blood, and his face was filled with shock.

When Zhou Yi saw this scene, he waved his large sleeve and directly swept him down.

Bang!

This person fell from the stone steps and fell to the ground. With a heavily injured body, without several years of recuperation, it was simply impossible to recover. Even if he recovered, there would still be sequelae.

This scene stunned the people below.

Was It so terrifying?

The second stone step crippled a jindan seventeenth transformation?

Did the hundred schools of thought set up the stone steps to take a person’s life?

But that was not right. Since it was fatal, why was there no problem with Zhou Yi who had reached the eighth change jindan stage?

Many people looked at Zhou Yi and asked, “How did you climb up?”

Zhou Yi turned a deaf ear and did not answer. He continued to brew his thoughts and wanted to continue climbing up.

Ye Sheng answered on behalf of Zhou Yi, “This stone step does not test the level of cultivation, but whether your spiritual world is rich or not.”

The most praiseworthy thing about the hundred schools of philosophers was their rich spiritual world. In their era, there were many stories that were passed down by people. Everyone’s spiritual world was incomparably rich, not just their tyrannical strength, however, their brains were as simple as wood.

Ye Sheng’s words made many people frown. The rich spiritual world was a very harsh condition.

The richness of the spiritual world was not something that could be assessed by the level of cultivation. Some people cultivated bitterly for their entire lives and put all their attention on cultivation. Without considering other things, the spiritual world would definitely be incomparably boring.

There were also some people who traveled all over the world and read a lot of books. Although their cultivation was low, their horizons and spiritual level were much higher than this kind of people.

“I’ll go and give it a try,”ye Sheng suddenly said.

He wanted to go up and alert everyone. Everyone had witnessed Ye Sheng’s strength. He was so young and had such high strength. would his spiritual world still be rich?

Many people looked at him doubtfully, wanting to know if ye Sheng could succeed.
