Chapter 2150

The light guides the way forward, and Yang Kai can’t help but quicken his pace.

Soon, he passes through that great door.

What comes into view is a continuous white jade staircase that leads straight up, spotlessly white, with its length unknown. The end cannot be seen with the naked eye, and its terminus cannot be fathomed with divine sense.

Below this white jade staircase, on Yang Kai’s right hand side, there is a stone tablet with a line of large characters engraved on it.

Yang Kai lowers his head and looks, and opens his mouth to read： “The Staircase of Time？”

He has a blank look on his face, frowns, and doesn’t know what kind of profound mystery is hidden within this line of white jade staircase. He also doesn’t dare to move forward rashly for fear of encountering any danger.

Fortunately, there is no one else here. After thinking for a while, he directly calls out Hua Qingsi.

Hua Qingsi is, after all, a disciple of the Star God Palace and has been preparing for the Four Seasons Land for a long time. She should know more about this Temple of Time than him.

A flash of light, and the figure of Hua Qingsi appeared.

She first looked around blankly, as if a little unclear where she was now.

“This is the Temple of Time！” Yang Kai said beside her.

“Ah？” Hua Qingsi responded in surprise, and then said with great joy： “You really found the Temple of Time？”

“Yes, by coincidence, it emerged on its own for some reason.” Yang Kai said, “You take a look at this first…”

As he spoke, Yang Kai stretched out his hand and pointed to the white jade steps in front and the stone tablet beside him.

Hua Qingsi took a look at the stone tablet, and her delicate body trembled： “The Steps of Time？”

“You really know…” Yang Kai observed her expression and immediately understood that she should know something about these Steps of Time. He immediately said, “Tell me, what’s the deal with this！”

Hua Qingsi took a deep breath, calmed the excitement in her heart, and said in a deep voice： “The Steps of Time are said to contain the comprehension and control of the power of time by the Time Great Emperor. Those who step on these steps can receive the washing of the power of time on themselves. It is of great benefit to warriors！”

Her eyes shone with excitement, looking eager to give it a try.

“Then what if it fails？” Yang Kai frowned.

Hua Qingsi was stunned for a moment, and after stammering for a while, she said, “I don’t know… probably there will be some bad consequences.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly. It seems that Hua Qingsi doesn’t know too much about this Ladder of Years either, but she is always a little stronger than himself.

Seeing Yang Kai was in deep thought, Hua Qingsi pursed her red lips and said, “Whether you want to go up or not, I want to go up and give it a try！”

Yang Kai looked at her and smiled and said, “Since it is considered a kind of opportunity, naturally we can’t miss it. Well… it’s better to call Ruoxi out too.”

While speaking, he stretched out his hand again and called Zhang Ruoxi out.

After explaining the magic of the Ladder of Years to Zhang Ruoxi, Yang Kai looked at her and said, “Whether you go up or not is up to you. Although I don’t know what the consequences will be if you fail, it shouldn’t be too wonderful. But don’t worry, if that time really comes, I will take you into the Little Profound Realm.”

“I want to go up！” Contrary to Yang Kai’s expectations, after listening, Zhang Ruoxi not only didn’t show the slightest hesitation or hesitation, but also actively expressed her stance.

Hua Qingsi pursed her lips and smiled, and said, “The little girl is not very old, but she has a lot of drive…”

“Since this is the case, let’s go together.” Yang Kai nodded and seriously instructed, “You also don’t go too far away from me, otherwise if something really happens, I may not be in time to take you into the Little Profound Realm.”

Zhang Ruoxi nodded nervously, her face slightly flushed with excitement, while Hua Qingsi smiled charmingly and said, “Then you have to follow closely behind your sister…”

Yang Kai glanced at her, snorted, and stepped onto the white jade staircase.

Seeing this, Hua Qingsi and Zhang Ruoxi also became solemn and stepped forward side by side.

Suddenly, a white energy surged out from the white jade staircase, turning into clouds and mist, enveloping the feet of the three people, making them have an illusion of walking on the clouds.

At the same time, Yang Kai’s body trembled. He felt a strange force pouring into his body. Like a catalyst it washed the source force in his body and the spiritual consciousness in his sea of consciousness, making the source force and spiritual consciousness become vigorous and thick.

This force was unclear and indescribable. It was as if time was passing by, and as time went by, his own strength was also increasing step by step.

Obviously it was only a moment, but the three people felt that a long time had passed.

The wonderful feeling lingered in their hearts.

Yang Kai looked left and right and found that Zhang Ruoxi and Hua Qingsi were both calm. After confirming that the two were fine, he stepped forward again.

The increasingly intense feeling surged, and Yang Kai’s spirit was shaken. He opened his mind to accept the washing of the power of time on this staircase, and his source power and spiritual consciousness became stronger and more refined.

At the beginning, Yang Kai still had the leisure to observe the situation of Hua Qingsi and Zhang Ruoxi, lest these two people could not bear the power of time and something unexpected happened. But as he climbed the staircase, Yang Kai gradually immersed himself in this feeling of becoming stronger seemingly extremely slowly but actually quickly, and for a while, he was even a little unable to extricate himself.

“This is the power of time？” Yang Kai’s eyebrows raised slightly, with an expression of admiration on his face. “What a strange power！ Obviously, it’s just a very short time, but it can make people feel that they have spent a long time and cultivated for a long time… This strange power is even better than the power of space.”

And just when his mind was filled with thoughts, he suddenly felt an unusual power fluctuation coming from the front.

Yang Kai was shocked and gathered his thoughts to look up. He saw that on the position of seven or eight steps in front of him, Zhang Ruoxi was walking forward step by step. Her clothes were all wet with sweat, revealing her delicate figure curve.

And as she stepped down this step, a layer of energy halo suddenly burst out from her petite body and spread outBoomtowards the surroundings.

“Are you kidding me！” Yang Kai almost popped his eyes out.

He didn’t know when exactly Zhang Ruoxi had walked in front of him, and had actually led by so many steps. That was bad enough, but the key point was that Zhang Ruoxi had clearly broken through a small realm just now and reached the cultivation level of the Second-Order Void Returning Stage！

If he hadn’t seen this with his own eyes, Yang Kai would never have dared to believe it was true.

After all, Zhang Ruoxi had just broken through to the Void Returning Stage a few days ago. How long had it been? She had broken through another small realm. It was simply unbelievable.

Although Yang Kai himself had gained a lot on these Steps of Time, he still couldn’t compare to Zhang Ruoxi’s level.

This little girl is really a bit strange！ Yang Kai recalled the day when she was promoted to the Void Returning Stage. The huge figure that emerged behind her, he was completely at a loss. He really didn’t know what was so special about the bloodline power in her body that made her promotion speed so fast.

Yang Kai opened his mouth, wanting to shout to Zhang Ruoxi to prevent her from getting too far away from him, but found that he couldn’t shout a single word no matter what. Even his spiritual consciousness couldn’t leave his body. As soon as he released it, it was suppressed and returned.

He looked back again and saw that at a position six or seven steps away from him, Hua Qingsi was sweating profusely, struggling hard, looking extremely difficult.

These Steps of Time are really not a place to test the level of cultivation. If it were to test the level of cultivation, it should be Hua Qingsi walking in the front. There was no way it would be Zhang Ruoxi with the lowest cultivation level.

Yang Kai pondered for a moment and then stopped in his tracks to wait for Hua Qingsi. In his opinion, Hua Qingsi was probably going to be the first one to hold on no longer. He had to take her back into the Little Mysterious Realm at the right time！

As for Zhang Ruoxi, Yang Kai could completely catch up with her later.

And the fact was indeed as Yang Kai had expected.

When they had walked more than half of the Age Ladder, Hua Qingsi finally couldn’t bear the washing of the Age Power anymore. The benefits she had obtained before when stepping on the ladder suddenly turned into a kind of torment. The erosion of the Age Power made her have a strange feeling that her youth was passing away and her beauty was fading. She hurriedly looked up at Yang Kai, wanting to call out.

But at the critical moment, she couldn’t utter a single word. She was so anxious that she was sweating all over.

Fortunately, Yang Kai had been paying attention to her movements. As soon as he noticed this, he quickly stretched out his hand and made a beckoning gesture, directly taking her back into the Little Mysterious Realm.

By this time, when Yang Kai looked up again, he could only vaguely see Zhang Ruoxi’s back. The little girl had thrown Yang Kai at least dozens of steps away, and it seemed that she had been continuously indulging in the various benefits she had obtained and couldn’t extricate herself. Her steps never stopped for a moment, and she kept going up.

Seeing this scene, how could Yang Kai dare to be negligent? He also spared no effort to continue climbing, wanting to narrow the distance between him and Zhang Ruoxi.

……

Somewhere in the Temple of Time, within the boundless dark hall, there faintly came the sounds of deep breathing and a strong and powerful heartbeat. An inexplicable pressure permeated this hall. If any living being were to come here, I’m afraid they would immediately collapse to the ground. That pressure was as heavy as a mountain and even a Supreme Emperor Realm would tremble in the face of it.

At a certain moment, two long and narrow red lights suddenly lit up in the darkness. Accompanied by a heavy exhalation sound, those two long and narrow lights suddenly widened – they were two eyes as big as gongs.

These were a pair of beast pupils filled with wildness and killing light. The golden pupils and red irises were filled with infinite brutality.

“Oh？ Have these little bugs finally found the Temple of Time？” A thunderous voice resounded in this dark hall. As the voice was transmitted, a dazzling fire suddenly burst out in the darkness.

That fire came from a strange beast with flames burning all over its body. This beast was about three stories tall looking like a combination of a tiger and a bull, as if it was cast from flames. It had a red single horn on its forehead two wings on its back, and was covered in scales, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

“It seems that this master’s mission is about to be completed… How many years has it been… This master is finally going to be free！” The voice that shook the entire hall came out from the abdomen of this strange beast. It stood up, and its double pupils looked around, as if it could see through the void.

While looking, it muttered： “Let this master see what extraordinary abilities these little bugs have.”

Wherever its gaze went, none of the dozens of martial artists in the Time Temple could escape its observation. While looking, it did not forget to comment： “Well, this guy’s qualifications are not bad, but… hum, still not in the eyes of this master. Huh… this little girl has some tricks. Her constitution is not bad. Although her cultivation base is not high, she actually has an imperial treasure by her side. Is she the descendant of some great emperor？ Well, although she barely meets the conditions, but… forget it, the great emperors are not good things！”
