Legendary Ruler
Soul Stair

In the guest room Luo Ji looked at Bai Long who had already entered his room. Luo Ji tightly grasped the two coins in his hand. "Bro Long I promise to be a successful person in the future !". After that Luo Ji directly entered his room to begin absorbing the spiritual stones.

Inside the room was Bai Long sitting cross-legged, he saw the spiritual stone he was holding. "This spiritual stone is rich in heaven and earth origin energy, it is only fitting that many cultivators use it to help with the practice". Bai Long instantly absorbed the energy within the stone.

After the energy from the stone he absorbed, now the stone has dimmed and does not emit light anymore. "Well, just like that ? Hais..this is still not enough to make me rise to the third level". Since there was nothing he could do anymore, Bai Long decided to go to sleep.

At this time the sun had already begun to rise showing its bright rays. Bai Long and Luo Ji were getting ready to go out for a walk.

"Haah, it was only last night but I have finished all my spiritual stones" Bai Long said.

"Eh... ? How could you spend it that fast?", asked the surprised Luo Ji.

"These spiritual stones are easily exhausted we must find a more effective way to obtain more spiritual stones" Bai Long said.

As they were about to come out suddenly there was a person knocking on the gate. TOK TOK TOK After they open it turns out that the one who knocked was senior Xiao Yu.

"Hello Bai Long are you guys free today?", senior Yu asked.

"Today we are free, what is senior?", asked Bai Long.

"Oh, I just want to take you guys to the Nui sect grounds do you want to come?", senior Yu asked.

"What kind of place is it?", asked Luo Ji who wanted to find out what kind of place her senior wanted to show.

"The place I want to show you is the ladder of the Soul. It was the safest of the three places in the field of Nui Sect. Only people who have certain soul qualities can enter. For more you can find out when you are there" senior Yu explained.

"looks interesting. Alright then we will leave with the seniors" Bai Long said.

They now went to the place that the senior wanted to show. After arriving there Bai Long saw many people who were watching a large stone board and also very high.

"That's the leaderboard. Only students who enter a thousand and above can have their names written there" senior Yu said.

"Oh, there is a leaderboard as well !? Interesting", said Bai Long.

"Look at the prince being ranked eighty-six!", Luo Ji said as he pointed to the stone board.

"Senior Yu is ranked tenth. Tang Zhan was ranked one hundred and thirty-six" Bai Long said.

"To be able to climb the soul ladder, one must be able to communicate with heaven and earth. Normally those with stronger cultivation would be able to easily communicate with heaven and earth, but that was not the main factor. Rather than someone with extraordinary talent who could break through their boundaries" senior Yu said.

"The ability to communicate with heaven and earth...?". Luo Ji was still at a loss as to what it meant to communicate.

"The point is that you guys are fused with the energy of heaven and earth" senior Yu replied.

"Then is there anyone who is able to get to the top of the stairs?", Luo Ji asked.

"A treasure?", asked Bai Long.

"Yes a treasure, but I don't know for sure whether the rumors are true or not" senior Yu said.

"Then other than what other treasures can be obtained from climbing these stairs?", Luo Ji asked.

"You've already felt the feeling of climbing the spiritual tower during the last test. The spiritual tower is beneficial to train the soul force, while the soul ladder serves to train the peace of the soul. Each student can practice for two hours for one month.

The ranked disciples can train for six hours, the higher your rankings the longer you can train", explained senior Yu at length.

"Then how can the stone know our name?", asked Bai Long.

"Everyone who climbed the stairs would have detected his soul back then so that their name could be recorded on the stone board" senior Yu replied.

'What !? Then I can be caught dong', inner Bai Long.

"means set...". Luo Ji had not had time to finish his words suddenly senior cut off the words that Luo Ji was about to ask.

"It's all right if we just go in, so you know for yourself" senior Yu said.

The three of them now walked in to the location of the stairs. Arriving there saw many students who were practicing. The place was shaped like a peaked altar. All of them totaled nine hundred and ninety-nine steps to climb.

"The ladder is very big huh" Luo Ji said.

"Bai Long, Luo Ji I will go up first" senior Yu said and directly climbed the stairs.

"Bro Long let's go up as well" Luo Ji asked.

"Ah. I don't seem to be going up for a while. You go up first I'll just watch it here" replied Bai Long.

"Alright then I'll go up first" Luo Ji replied. Actually he was curious why his friend did not come up the ladder of the soul, but obviously his friend must have his own reasons why not come up.

Luo Ji started to climb the first rung of stairs. As his feet touched the first staircase he felt a vast spiritual energy like a sea. "What an incredible energy".

Step by step Luo Ji ascended. The Bai Long below could only watch.

"Why didn't he go up ? Did he not enter the qualifiers?", said the person wearing a dark red shirt on the steps.

"Haha.I don't know if there's anyone like him who can't climb even one rung of stairs" said a friend of the man wearing a dark red shirt.

Bai Long was annoyed by what the people on the stairs were saying. 'Based on a bunch of fools, if this isn't within the sect already from earlier I slashed you guys!', inner Bai Long.

Luo Ji who heard her friend being insulted by the people around her, also felt angry. Because his friend must have another reason why he did not come to climb these stairs.
