Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1002

Chapter 1002 - Surrounded

Once they arrived in front of the staircase, Yuan started climbing it while being pressured by an invisible force.

However, unlike the first time, he was not bothered by it at all. As for Meixiu and the others, they climbed the staircase without feeling anything.

"Is it supposed to be this easy?" Li Jinxi asked.

"No, it's not. Since we're not taking the trial, we won't need to do anything. However, Yuan will have to bear our share of effort, so it's going to be a lot harder on him than normal." Chu Liuxiang explained to her.

"What? If that's the case, why don't we just let him do it by himself? The Stairway to Heaven will probably open for everyone else after he clears it. There's no reason to make it harder on him for no reason." Li Jinxi said.

"He's probably already thought about that, but since he isn't saying anything, he probably wants the challenge. After all, it would be too easy if he went inside by himself." Chu Liuxiang shrugged.

"Will he be okay…?"

"Of course. He passed the last Stairway to Heaven while carrying three other people as well."

"Really? Who was the third one? And where is this person now?"

"He helped a fellow disciple from the same sect to escape her family. She joined one of the Seven Spiritual Academies with the others."

"I see…"

Sometime later, once Yuan and the others arrived before the grand doors of the Stairway to Heaven, they started inserting their badge into the slots.

However, right as Yuan prepared to insert his badge into the door, he suddenly stopped and started looking around.

"What are you looking for?" Chu Liuxiang asked him, but he didn't say anything.

"Feng Feng, Xiao Hua, Yingying." He suddenly called them.

The three of them appeared before him the next second.

"Protect them." He said.

"Yes."

"What's going on, Yuan?" Meixiu asked him with a slight frown on her face.

"We're surrounded."

"Huh? By who?" Chu Liuxiang looked around, but she couldn't see anyone.

Suddenly, a tremendous pressure that surpassed even the staircase Yuan climbed appeared.

Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua used their cultivation to protect Meixiu and the others.
