Chapter 765
“Hehe, I’m not nervous. In fact, this trip is perfect for sightseeing. Not bad at all!”
Yi Feng said casually, standing on the flying boat, his eyes gazing at the distant scenery, looking thoroughly relaxed.
Yi Feng’s words immediately drew Jiang Zuo’s attention, who had been meditating with a focused mind.
Sightseeing?
Was he naive or just plain stupid?
Didn’t he realize what he was about to face?
The Heavenly Tyrant Sect.
One of the undisputed sacred grounds of the martial world.
Under the rule of the Heavenly Tyrant Sect, there are over a hundred sects as large as the Hundred Refinements Sect.
Each grand competition brings together the elite talents from all sects.
Although they all know they stand no chance against the disciples of the Heavenly Tyrant Sect, these lesser sects still vie for dominance. Very few, like the Hundred Refinements Sect, simply give up like this.
It’s clear that the competition is fierce.
Imagine someone like Yi Feng, with no real strength, being thrown into a contest with these heavenly geniuses. What do you think the outcome will be?
Without a doubt, he’ll be utterly humiliated!
“You’d better not have that mindset.”
Jiang Zuo said coldly.
“Why? Is the scenery at the Heavenly Tyrant Sect not good?” Yi Feng retorted.
Jiang Zuo’s face twitched.
He felt a chill run down his spine. He realized that talking to Yi Feng was like playing the zither to a cow—a complete waste of his breath.
With a flick of his sleeve, Jiang Zuo fell silent, deciding not to waste any more words on Yi Feng.
Jiang You, standing nearby, could only let out a helpless laugh. He, too, kept quiet and sat down to meditate and cultivate.
The flying boat continued its journey.
Yi Feng, accompanied by Su Bai, spent the next three days leisurely admiring the scenery. Eventually, they arrived at the Heavenly Tyrant Sect.
At the foot of the sect, over a hundred flying boats hovered in the sky. Various powerful figures descended from their vessels, each leading their promising disciples.
After disembarking, some exchanged greetings with familiarity, while others eyed each other with hostility, nearly coming to blows.
Even though they were all underlings of the Heavenly Tyrant Sect, the sect never intervened in their grudges. They wouldn’t bat an eye even if one sect wiped out another.
In fact, secretly, they encouraged such behavior.
It was essentially a survival-of-the-fittest model.
Yi Feng responded without hesitation. “Look at these steps—thousands, maybe tens of thousands of them. Climbing that would kill me!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zuo and Jiang You’s faces darkened to the point they could almost drip with frustration.
What the hell?
Could this guy not even climb the sect steps?
What kind of humiliation would he face during the competition?
For a moment, the two almost considered fleeing on the spot. But remembering they had nowhere else to go if they left the Hundred Refinements Sect, they reluctantly swallowed their anger.
“Let’s go first. Climb as far as you can. If you really can’t make it, we’ll help you,” Jiang Zuo said grimly.
With that, Jiang Zuo and Jiang You started to ascend the steps.
“Dammit, I knew I shouldn’t have come,” Yi Feng muttered under his breath, reluctantly dragging himself towards the steps, grumbling all the way.
Su Bai obediently followed behind Yi Feng.
“Remember, climb as far as you can. If you really can’t make it, call us!”
Jiang Zuo reminded Yi Feng again.
“Okay, okay.”
“Stop talking to me. I’m focusing on climbing steps right now,” Yi Feng replied impatiently, gasping for breath after just a few steps.
Jiang Zuo nodded.
Clearly, he wanted to see exactly how far Yi Feng could climb, hoping to gauge his true strength.
The two brothers exchanged a glance and then shot up the steps like gusts of wind.
In one go, they reached the five-thousandth step, stopping only then. Their faces remained calm, not a bead of sweat in sight.
After all, they were protectors of the Hundred Refinements Sect, possessing strength near that of an immortal. Such steps were no challenge to them.
“Even if he’s the weakest, surely he can climb five thousand steps,” Jiang Zuo mused.
He turned back to look below but couldn’t see Yi Feng’s figure.
That was because, from the steps, they were already within an array, which blocked their senses. Visibility was limited to about a hundred meters.
“Hmm, let’s sit here and wait for a while,” Jiang You suggested.
With that, the two brothers sat down and entered a state of meditation.
However, after circulating their Qi for several cycles, nearly half an hour passed, and there was still no sign of Yi Feng.
When they looked down at the foot of the mountain, Yi Feng still wasn’t in sight.
The two brothers were dumbfounded.
Could this guy really be so weak that he couldn’t even climb five thousand steps?
