Chapter 1093: Bastard Dog

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Road of Azure Clouds, Trials of Wind and Fire, A Golden Millet Dream1. Does this mean that in order to enter the Mystic Divine Palace, there were three stages to be passed? This Mystic Thearch is really too much; why did he make things so troublesome? Wouldn’t it be easier if he just asked Ao Lu to choose a successor?”

After climbing a thousand and five hundred steps, Jiang Yi was already huffing and puffing. However, gravity did not affect him that much. Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing that were behind him were still persevering. Yin Ruobing was three to four years younger than Jiang Yi while Yi Chan was one or two years younger than him as well. Although Jiang Yi did not know both of their fighting power, Yi Chan was definitely not much weaker than him. Yin Ruobing was also born with an Astral Body and thus could keep up with him.

The one behind the three of them was not Zhan Tianlei or She Fei, but Jian Wuying. Jian Wuying was the youngest among them; he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he had already attained a four- or five-star battle prowess. Hence, his journey was the most relaxed, with a mischievous smile on his face. He occasionally called out to Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing, saying, “My two sisters, do you want me to help you two?”

Yin Ruobing and Yi Chan ignored Jian Wuying. This person was a little sex fiend. He had stripped a few maidservants in the Jian Clan of their clothes at the age of seven, biting every one of them. The Sword Thearch had even seen this personally and had hung Jian Wuying up to beat him.

Behind Jian Wuying were She Fei and Zhan Tianlei. The duo had the strongest battle strength, but they were both thirty and above; She Fei was already thirty-three. The Battle Thearch had said that the Road of Azure Clouds was harder for those who were older; the distance between the two and Jiang Yi, Yin Ruobing, and Yi Chan had already reached more than a hundred stone steps.

Tu Long, Ling Qijian, and company were even slower. The crowd of people behind them had been stretched into a long line; they were competing based on their age and actual strength. Some were climbing easily while some had only climbed tens of steps before feeling extremely uncomfortable; even more had immediately given up.

A few forty-plus-year-old middle-aged martial artists did not listen to the Battle Thearch and wanted to try their luck; they only managed ten steps before they vomited blood and tumbled down. The Grand Elder from the Chen Clan had arrived as well with Chen Chen. The Grand Elder stepped on the first step and gave up while Chen Chen brought a few disciples of the Chen Clan and headed up. Chen Chen’s speed was passable; he had already passed more than six hundred stone steps.

Gradually!

Jian Wuying overtook Jiang Yi and the two ladies, running to the front. Furthermore, his speed was exceptional, his steps light. Everyone from the Jian Clan below became very excited, thinking that the Mystic Divine Palace was definitely going to belong to the Jian Clan.

One hour later, Jian Wuying was far ahead of the pack and had already reached the five-thousandth step; Jiang Yi and the two ladies were closely behind him, around the four-thousandth step. Zhan Tianlei and She Fei formed the third group at the three-thousand-and-five-hundredth step. Behind them were Ye Ying, Tu Long, Ling Qijian, Yin Feihuang, and the top-notch disciples from the great family clans at around the two-thousandth step. Even further behind them was a long line that stretched all the way to the foot of the mountain.

It seemed that all the talented disciples in the entire East Imperial Continent had gathered this time. From the speed they were climbing the mountain, a comparison could be made with regards to their gifts and abilities. Jiang Yi had also finally attracted the attention of many people below. After all, Jiang Yi was not a well-known person. How could it be that after so long, he was still in front?

Li Tian!

This was a very unfamiliar name and was not very famous. Many people have never even heard of this name before. However, after knowing that this person was Li Hong’s nephew, many people suddenly started to have some sort of impression of him. After all, Li Hong was an infamous old sex fiend.

Although Li Tian’s identity was now known, many people still did not dare to believe what they were seeing. According to the information they had, Li Tian was twenty-eight years old and only had powers equivalent to a three-star martial expert. Based on his age and strength, it was impossible that he could be so fast. Zhan Tianlei was thirty, only two years older than Li Tian; but Zhan Tianlei was a Demigod.

There is something wrong with this person!

Not only were the people at the base of the mountain starting to get suspicious, but Zhan Tianlei was also getting surprised and suspicious, too. He had read Li Tian’s information in detail, and by right, Li Tian should be behind Zhan Tianlei. How could it be that Li Tian was running even further and further away from him?

Could it be that Li Tian was disguising his real strength?

Zhan Tianlei’s eyes flashed but soon gave up thinking so much. This was only the Road of Azure Clouds; there was still the ‘Trials of Wind and Fire’ and ‘A Golden Millet Dream’. He was confident that even if Jian Wuying, Yi Chan, Jiang Yi, and company managed to head up the Road of Azure Clouds first, they might not be able to go on to the next stage. The Mystic Divine Palace could only belong to him.

Bastard, you’d better move faster. If I catch you, I will slaughter you!

She Fei was also thinking about Jiang Yi. A sliver of coldness flashed in his eyes. The She Clan’s information regarding the Mystic Divine Mountain was very comprehensive. While he could not take action on the Road of Azure Clouds—when it came to the ‘Trials of Wind and Fire’ and ‘A Golden Millet Dream’, these stages were free for anyone to take action against others. So long as Yin Ruobing and Yi Chan were separated from Jiang Yi, he would not hesitate and kill Jiang Yi.

…

Another hour had passed.

Jian Wuying had already rushed up to the eight-thousandth stone step and was about to dash up above the clouds and disappear. Jiang Yi and the two ladies had reached the seven-thousandth step. The trio felt their legs being unusually heavy, with each lifting of their legs being extremely difficult. They could no longer stand straight. Yin Ruobing’s face was also very pale, with her body shaking and her legs staggering, as if she was going to tumble down at any time.

In actual fact, many people climbing below had tumbled downwards as they could not stand steady, all their efforts becoming naught. Jiang Yi used his divine senses, scanned Yin Ruobing, and sent a voice transmission, slightly worried: “Ruobing, can you still continue?”

The Road of Azure Clouds had one point in particular that was bizarre. Unlike the Mystic Divine Palace’s Bridge of Helplessness, this road could not be climbed. If not, Jiang Yi would have long started to crawl; one would be an idiot to still care about one’s mannerisms instead of preserving body strength at this point in time.

Jiang Yi had previously tried crawling, but once both hands touched the ground, it felt as if gravity had doubled. Yin Ruobing had also sent a voice transmission over to tell him that the Road of Azure Clouds could not be crawled; it would be more tiring than walking.

Hoo-Hoo!

Yin Ruobing took a few long breaths and stabilized herself. A grudging smile appeared on her face as she sent a voice transmission: “Jiang Yi, do not mind me. You’d better hurry up. If you can obtain the Mystic Divine Palace, that would be a very good thing for you. As for me… that would be a very good thing, too.”

“What yours or mine?”

Jiang Yi was extremely confused by what he heard. His divine senses detected that Yin Ruobing’s body was swaying again, and he gritted his teeth and stopped. He started to retreat slowly and, under Yi Chan’s confused gaze, retreated to Yin Ruobing’s side. He grabbed her small hand and sent a voice transmission: “Let’s go! I’ll bring you up!”

On the other side, Yi Chan’s eyes revealed her complicated emotions. She suddenly sent a voice transmission: “Jiang Yi, you cannot be so biased. If you want to bring, you have to bring both of us.” 

“Uh—”

Jiang Yi twitched his lips, embarrassed. It was obvious that Yi Chan was having a much easier time than Yin Ruobing. Although Yi Chan’s body was also shaking, it was clear that she still had residual energy. Wasn’t she just trying to create trouble?

However, as Yi Chan had already opened her mouth, Jiang Yi couldn’t bear to reject her. He used his other hand and grabbed Yi Chan’s small hand. He closed his eyes and entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. Under this state, the physical pain his body was feeling would not affect his soul spirit. His body could then also bear the maximum load it could possibly endure. It would be more efficient to continue this way.

Swish!

He moved as if his steps had wind as his speed suddenly increased. The two ladies felt the energy being passed from Jiang Yi’s big hands and managed to relax quite a bit. They also increased their pace and hurriedly dashed upwards.

“Wow!”

The hundreds of thousands of people at the foot of the mountain were all focused on the people climbing. At this moment, seeing Jiang Yi’s crazed movements, the crowd became very excited. There were actually people who would have a tender heart for the fairer sex in this situation? Furthermore, by assisting Yin Ruobing and Yi Chan up, it meant he was going to have two more competitors. Even if he wanted to chase after girls—surely this wasn’t the way to do it, right?

Of course, many were feeling sour as well; these two ladies were the absolute beauties of the continent. To hold one of their hands could drive many men crazy. What’s more, this guy was holding both of their hands at the same time. This amazing good fortune was enough to make many people go on a rampage.

“Ah, bastard, bastard dog, he’s really a bastard!”

She Fei heard the commotion from below and sent his divine senses up to investigate. His body shook, and he almost slipped and tumbled down.

Jiang Yi being able to hold Yi Chan’s hand was not what infuriated him the most. He was most angry at the fact that the lofty-minded Yi Chan was actually willing to let a man hold her hand!
