Chapter 1773: The Ascension Ladder (3)

A difficult cliff like this, just looking from afar made people feel afraid so it was no wonder Luo Jiyun felt uncomfortable.


He stared at Huang Yueli anxiously hoping to get a negative answer.


Whoever knew that once Huang Yueli opened his mouth, it almost knocked him unconscious.


“Suffering a serious injury due to a fall? If it really was just a serious injury, it would be great!” Huang Yueli replied nonchalantly, “Somewhere near the cliff, there is an array boundary that amplifies its effect and it will suppress the profound Energy of the practitioner. The higher it rose, the stronger the practitioner's suppression and as one climbed to the middle of the mountain, the intensity of the Profound Energy within the body would be left less than ten percent. Under such circumstances, there was no way to maintain the protection of one's own profound qi. This way…"


He stopped and met with Luo Jiyun's terrified gaze.


“...Once they fall from the mid-mountain position or above it, it is basically no different from ordinary people falling from the cliff. This was a definite death for practitioners who were at the seventh stage realm and below while for practitioners who were at the seventh stage realm and above, they might be half dead from the fall and whether or not they can be saved will depend on their luck.”.


Luo Jiyun shivered coldly as the words she spoke also started to stutter.


"Why... Why is this...this is so dangerous?”.


Huang Yueli said, “I've told you this before right? The Sky Ascension Ladder's assessment of ordinary disciples in the Blue Profound Sect was the best chance for one to become a star and at the same time, it was also one of the most dangerous assessments. Every year there will be at least hundreds of disciples who die here!”


“But... but, isn't this too dangerous? Wasn't the Sect's goal to sift through all of the outstanding talents so why should they make it so dangerous? Can't they just use the array to protect the environment, at least for the fallen practitioners to recover their profound qi protection, and not fall too badly?”


Luo Jiyun's words gushed out like that and Huang Yueli was unable to reply at the moment when someone beside her started laughing.


"Ugh, right." Luo Jiyun nodded her head.


The one who said that was a twenty-year-old young practitioner wearing a direct disciple uniform. He was fair and curvaceous, someone who seemed to have a good temperament.


“This little brother, there is something you do not know. This Sky Ascension Ladder was not built by our Blue Profound Sect but a historical relic left behind by the Ancient God Clan. Not only can you sift through outstanding disciples, even if you haven't gained some top rankings, as long as you can climb the Sky Ascension Ladder at least once, after you get down from there, you will also reap great rewards.”


“Practitioners on the cliff suffer from the pressure of Profound Energy and this is the effect caused by the ancient array installed around the Sky Ascension Stairs. Our Yu Sect Guard is the Number One Array Master of the Soaring Heaven Continent and I heard that twenty years ago, the, he had once spent several months with the Number One Armament Master Huang Yueli to try to set up an array near the cliff to protect the practitioners who had fallen. But eventually they didn't make it.”


Luo Jiyun knew about Huang Yueli's true identity and when she heard that, she stared in wonder at the young lady beside her.


In his heart, his sister-in-law had incredible talent and there seemed to be nothing he could not finish.


There was actually an array of mechanisms that even he, could not do…


Luo Jiyun frowned and asked, “Then in this case...if I climb to the middle of the mountain and cannot climb to the top, what happens if I get stuck in the middle of the road? Could it mean this is the end for me?”
