Chapter 236 Reaching the Top

"I see." Nangong Ling muttered to herself as she silently took a bite of her chicken leg. "That's terrifying. Does that mean I could be struck by lightning at any moment?"

"I'll eat some more chicken legs before the tribulation arrives."

After saying that, Nangong Ling silently took out another chicken leg.

Shen Baisu remained silent for a moment, then raised her hand and patted Nangong Ling's shoulder. "There's no need to worry too much. The cultivation continent and Earth are separated by an unknown distance, and they may not even be in the same space-time. It won't be easy for it to chase after you and strike you down."

"After it's done chopping you up, it'll have to go back. Maybe it'll be too much trouble to come looking for you again."

"Besides, the cultivation continent may have already been destroyed, so who knows if the Heavenly Dao still exists."

After hearing Shen Baisu's words, Nangong Ling's eyes grew brighter and brighter. "That makes sense. Maybe it can't even find its way to chop me down."

After Shen Baisu's words of comfort, and with Nangong Ling's own self-consolation, Nangong Ling's mood instantly improved considerably.

"Let's go. Now that we've figured out why the heavenly tribulation didn't descend, let's go and check on the trial."

Shen Baisu nodded, put all the books back in their places, and returned to the sect's main gate hand in hand with Nangong Ling.

The two spent about half a day in the library, and now it was getting dark outside.

When Shen Baisu and Nangong Ling arrived at the door again, Yu Suhuai had already found a place to sleep. Su Qing was standing in front of the jade slab, staring intently at it, completely absorbed. She didn't even notice when Shen Baisu and Nangong Ling approached her.

Su Qing only snapped back to her senses when Shen Baisu and Nangong Ling appeared on either side of her.

"What are you looking at? You're so engrossed in it!" Nangong Ling slapped Su Qing on the shoulder.

Su Qing: "Junior Sister, Fourth Junior Sister, you're here? Look at the Trial Ladder, someone's about to reach the top."

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu and Nangong Ling's expressions changed immediately. The two of them stood up next to Su Qing and looked at the jade slab with great interest.

Just as Su Qing said, someone is already about to climb to the very top step.

That person wasn't Xia Anhe, nor was it from Xiao Anhe's group; it was the girl in the Lolita dress we'd seen before.

At this moment, she was only two steps away from reaching the summit, as for Xia An and...

"Where is Xia Anhe?"

Xia Anhe was not in the picture, which clearly shows that Xia Anhe has been far surpassed by the Lolita girls.

Shen Baisu was curious about where she had gone.

Su Qing: "When I was watching just now, she had just climbed the hundredth step. It gets harder and harder as you go up. I guess she's still on the hundred and first or second step right now."

We've just reached the 100th step, which means we're still 80 steps away from the top.

Shen Baisu nodded.

Xia Anhe's progress made Shen Baisu realize that the Trial Ladder was still as difficult to climb as before.

She stroked her chin, staring thoughtfully at the Lolita girl.

Beside her, Nangong Ling took a bite of a chicken leg and said to Shen Baisu, "At this rate of climbing to the top, you can totally catch up with you back then."

Su Qing nodded in agreement, "Indeed impressive."

"How about this, if she can pass the character test, we'll accept her as a disciple. Maybe she can become our second junior sister."

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu immediately said, "Hey! You can't say that."

“Chang Su Daojun is irreplaceable. There will only be one in the Wuji Sect. If she enters the Wuji Sect, she will still be herself, not a second one.”

Hearing Shen Baisu say this, Su Qing and Nangong Ling both laughed.

Su Qing smiled and said softly, "Yes, no one is a second one."

No matter who you are, whether you are a disciple of the Wuji Sect or not, everyone who exists in this world is unique. "We're up! We're up! We've reached the last step!"

Su Qing was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Nangong Ling's cheers. Su Qing immediately looked up and saw that the girl had already reached the top.

Shen Baisu had already left the observation deck and was walking towards the main entrance. "Let's go and meet this extraordinary woman."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing and Nangong Ling immediately followed.

Hearing the noise, Yu Suhuai, who was fast asleep, suddenly woke up. Seeing that Shen Baisu and the others were about to leave, he immediately got up groggily and followed the three of them, saying, "I'm going too! I'm going too!"

Shen Baisu and the other two then remembered him, so they took him along.

"Wow, that's amazing! I thought the stairs were amazing enough, but this door is even more amazing."

"Wow, could this really be the gateway to a mysterious realm?"

At the entrance of the Wuji Sect, a girl covered in sweat was touching the barrier of the sect's gate while talking to herself.

My eyes were filled with curiosity and excitement.

However, after some searching, she discovered that the entire large door was blocked by something resembling an air wall, and a hint of anxiety appeared in the girl's eyes.

"Is this door impossible to open? Does that mean I can't get in?"

"No, no, we have to think of a way to go in and take a look. We've worked so hard all this time, we can't just walk around the entrance and leave."

The girl muttered to herself as she placed her hand on the air wall again and began to feel around it.

As she fumbled around, several figures suddenly appeared in the girl's eyes. Four people had appeared inside the door. Seeing them, the girl was startled and instinctively took a step back. "You...you guys...Shen Baisu?"

Upon recognizing a familiar face among the four, the girl stopped abruptly, staring in shock at Shen Baisu inside the door.

She didn't understand why Shen Baisu was here.

Shen Baisu wasn't surprised that the girl recognized her; after all, she had been trending on social media so many times, it was normal for someone to know her.

"You know me?" Shen Baisu asked the other person casually.

The girl nodded, then looked at Shen Baisu with a very complicated expression, "You... what are you doing here?"

The girl couldn't understand how Shen Baisu could appear behind this mysterious door.

"Never mind that," Shen Baisu said, taking out a round ball and walking towards the girl. "Want to go in and take a look? Come on, put your hand here. After you pass the test, you can go in."

The girl instinctively took several steps back. "No, why should I listen to you? I won't let go!"

"Who knows what this thing is? Are they trying to scam me again?"

"I won't fall for your tricks this time."

"If you have any conscience, just take me in."

Shen Baisu paused slightly after hearing the girl's words, and her gaze towards the girl became strange. "Are we that close? You just want me to take you in right away? How dare you?"

"Forget it, don't bother with the test. Just go down the mountain. You can't get through this gate."

The woman's tone was really unpleasant, and Shen Baisu immediately took her as one of his haters.

Although she might pass the test, Shen Baisu is petty and wouldn't allow someone who had slandered her to enter the Wuji Sect.

The girl exploded upon hearing Shen Baisu's words, "How dare I?"

"No, can't you speak with a conscience?"

"You only talk about money and hurt feelings when you need me, but when you don't need me, you call me shameless? Do you have to be so despicable?"

Shen Baisu: Hmm?
Why does this person sound more like an acquaintance than a hater?
