Jiang Lan had surpassed Miao Xiu.

  This left Miao Xiu in disbelief.

  The other party was previously still at the twentieth step, why did he suddenly appear before him?

  Was he emotionless?

  At this moment, Miao Xiu saw Jiang Lan ascending the fiftieth step.

  And he was still at the thirty-eighth step.

  “What is going on with this person?”


  At this moment, Miao Xiu suddenly felt that he had made the wrong choice.

  However, he quickly recovered.

  Now was not the time to worry.

  The later parts were not that easy.

  As long as he passed these first fifty steps, what was behind him would be what he was good at.

  After Jiang Lan passed the fiftieth step.

  Everyone who was watching below was stunned.

  Those people were in disbelief.

  “The Senior Brother of the Ninth Summit has surpassed the member of the Heavenly Human Race?”


  The next moment, the square was filled with cheers.

  This was the first time they saw that the member of the Heavenly Human Race was at a disadvantageous position.

  “He’s ahead by ten steps. Perhaps he might win?”


  “I don’t know, but it’s definitely different from before. In the past, there was no hope of winning, but now there’s hope.”


  “As long as we can hold on, we can win, right?”


  Everyone was watching.

  Jiang Lan walked up to the fiftieth step. From the fifty-first step onwards, he would no longer be bothered by the various distractions posed by the stairs.

  How should he put it?

  Compared to the Peaceful Void Lake, it was much worse.

  He took a step forward.

  Jiang Lan stepped onto the fifty-first step.

  The instant his foot landed, the stairs that had disappeared behind him suddenly appeared again.

  Then, it began to glow.

  Light shone everywhere.

  Light also appeared beneath Jiang Lan’s feet.

  It was as if every step he took would be accompanied by light.

  “This… Birth of a new record?” Miao Xiu was incredulous.

  The other party actually broke the Heavenly Human Race’s past record?

  Jiang Lan had finished half the journey at the fastest speed recorded.

  Miao Xiu calmed himself down and didn’t pay too much attention to it.

  Otherwise, he would not be able to finish his journey.

  The Eighth Summit’s Fairy Xian Xi was helped up by her Junior Sister.

  She originally thought that she should have heard the news of the Ninth Summit being defeated the moment she arrived.

  But when she came up, she saw a beam of light soaring into the sky and heard the cheers of her fellow Kunlun disciples.

  “Oh my god, what happened? Why would light appear under the Ninth Summit’s Senior Brother’s feet?”


  “No. Look at the words above the disc. It’s a record.

  “The Senior Brother from the Ninth Summit has broken the Heavenly Human Race’s record for the fastest time in clearing half of the stairs.”


  “Is the Heavenly Human Race trying to humiliate themselves? Did they need our Ninth Summit’s Senior Brother to help them break their record?”


  “Is there no one from the Heavenly Human Race left? You want a hundred-year-old Junior Brother of ours to help you break the record?”


  Fairy Xian Xi and her Junior Sister were stunned.

  “What had just happened?”


  “Senior Sister, it seems like Ninth Summit’s Junior Brother is suppressing Miao Xiu.”


  “How is that possible?”


  “Otherwise, why would those martial brothers be so excited?”


  At this moment, the two of them felt like they had missed out on something exciting.

  They had come too late.

  …


  At the edge of the square in the Kunlun Main Hall, Feng Yixiao and the others, who were looking at the Ninth Summit, suddenly saw a light appear.

  Feng Yixiao didn’t feel anything when he saw this light.

  However, Miao Tian was stunned.

  He instantly recognized the light.

  The half journey record of the Stairway To Heavens was broken.

  Was it Miao Xiu?

  No, that was impossible. Miao Xiu was far from breaking the record.

  Then it must be the disciple of the Ninth Summit.

  What had happened?

  How did the other party break the Stairway To Heavens’ record?

  Feng Yixiao glanced at Miao Tian and said calmly.

  “I suppose Elder Miao doesn’t care about what happens in the Ninth Summit, right?”


  “Heh, heh heh, of course.” Miao Tian’s complexion became much worse.

  Especially when he saw the light flashing non-stop.

  The two middle-aged men behind him could no longer stand.

  From the current situation, it seemed that Miao Xiu was going to lose?

  “Haha.” Miao Tian suddenly laughed.

  “I heard that the environment in the Ninth Summit is unique. I would like to go and take a look. Fellow Daoist Feng, can you bring us there?”


  “It’s a little difficult.” Feng Yi smiled.

  “The Ninth Summit is different from the others, but if my Junior Brother agrees, of course he can.”


  “Thank you,” Miao Tian said.

  They waited for a long time, but the other party didn’t contact them.

  Finally, Miao Xiu spoke again.

  “Fellow Daoist Feng, how did it go?”


  “Oh? That Junior Brother of mine has agreed. However, I thought that the three of you wanted to rest for a while.” Feng Yixiao said with a smile.

  Miao Tian: “…”


  In the end, they said nothing.

  Instead, they immediately headed towards the Ninth Summit.

  …


  Jiang Lan ascended step by step. At this time, he was at the seventy-first step.

  There was an array formation maze on the fiftieth and sixtieth steps, as well as some scattered attacks.

  It did not affect him much.

  He had some understanding of the array formation maze, but there were two attacks that he did not completely avoid.

  There was an injury on his left arm and right leg.

  Fortunately, it was not serious.

  After stepping on the seventy-first step, he discovered that what he encountered this time was a kind of imprisonment. It was as if he couldn’t act as he pleased.

  Jiang Lan stepped onto the seventy-second step.

  Then, he saw a light appear on the disc. It was a magic spike.

  Very strong.

  However, the attack had yet to come down upon him. It seemed to be gathering strength.

  After that, Jiang Lan continued upwards. He felt that the magic spike above him had become stronger.

  It was comparable to an attack from a perfected Golden Core cultivator.

  It looked as if it would attack at any moment.

  As he advanced, the attack became stronger and stronger. Not only that, Jiang Lan felt a distortion in front of him.

  It made it so that he could not see where the attack would come from.

  He did not know when the magic spike would come crashing down upon him.

  “It’s getting blurry and the magic spike is getting stronger. If I’m hit, I’ll either die or be severely injured, right? I don’t know, but it does look like it’s hard to avoid.”


  “The Junior Brother from the Ninth Summit is far ahead now. However, if he gets hit, then…”


  That was equivalent to elimination.

  Having an advantage did not mean victory.

  Jing Ting and the others were also watching. They were somewhat nervous.

  This was the only hope for victory.

  The eight of them had lost so badly that they had no room to fight back.

  This time, the advantage was obvious.

  Miao Xiu looked at Jiang Lan. He was on the forty-sixth step.

  Soon, he would reach the fiftieth step. By then, he would definitely be able to catch up.

  After the seventieth step, the slightest carelessness would result in serious injuries.

  The slightest instability in one’s heart would result in elimination.

  He had never seen anyone walk past the seventieth step without being injured.

  Jiang Lan looked at the attacks above and walked forward step by step without the slightest pause.

  And the light above grew brighter and brighter.

  The strength of the attack grew stronger and stronger, to the point of reaching that of a mid-stage Essence Soul cultivator.

  It looked like it could fall at any moment.

  Jiang Lan arrived at the seventy-eighth step.

  When he stepped on the seventy-ninth step, a gust of wind blew past and a powerful force came crashing down from above.

  It came down at a very fast speed and with threatening power.

  The storm of power caused Jiang Lan’s skin to ache.

  In the face of this attack, Jiang Lan simply watched on. He didn’t dodge at all, instead continuing forward.

  There was no pause.

  Hu ~

  Boom!!!

  The power of a perfected Essence Soul struck the square as a huge crater appeared.

  Everyone stared blankly at Jiang Lan.

  They realized that from the start till the end, the Junior Brother from the Ninth Summit did not bother hiding at all.

  Wasn’t he afraid at all?

  “He wasn’t bewitched by his own heart?”


  Miao Xiu suddenly realized that he had made the wrong choice.

  “Since that’s the case, I can only choose another path.”


  At this moment, a new light appeared on the disc.
