Chapter 1595: Climbing The Scales (1/2)

Li Qiye smiled while looking at Yulian: “Does this Long Aotian guy know that you like him?”

Yulian blushed because of this public revelation. She angrily stared at him and said coldly: “None of your business.”

Li Qiye teased her again: “I don’t really care for your romance since nothing good will come of it but I do have to say, daring to love and hate so openly is not a bad thing. If you like him, then go confess, no point in hiding it. Even if you do more things for him, he won’t know about them and you will be nothing more than an insignificant stranger in his mind.”

Li Qiye had no problems with Long Aotian either. However, Soaring Immortal purposely came out in this generation and this has sealed their fate. They have broken the agreement of past so there was nothing left to say.

His blatant statement embarra.s.sed Yulian while the boys who like her became justifiably annoyed as well.

“Li Qiye, stop running your mouth here!” She shouted: “If you can’t climb the scales then just admit your defeat, no need to buy time!”

“If you don’t want to do it, it’s not too late to give up.” Yulian coldly uttered.

“Very well, I’ll break your dream then so that you won’t keep on falling in deeper. It’s not too late to turn back.” Li Qiye smiled and said.

Li Qiye only wanted to take the monarch for a look but didn’t expect to encounter Yulian’s matter. Since this was the case, it was time to wake her up or it would be too late when her lover turned to ashes in the future.

Everyone watched with antic.i.p.ation after hearing Li Qiye’s confirmation. They stared attentively at each and every move of his and wondered how many steps he could reach.

In the past, Aotian’s achievement at the eleventh step has already rendered the young generation breathless. No youth dared to challenge him but it was different for Fiercest.

Some believed that if he couldn’t make it to the eleventh step, he would be overshadowed a bit by Long Aotian. Even if he could reach this step, it would only show that he would be a capable rival.

They knew that he was at a disadvantage because he was doing it after Long Aotian. The guy has robbed all of the fame. Even if Li Qiye could reach the eleventh step, the reaction wouldn’t be as resounding as before.

He needed to reach the twelfth step to be on the same level as the eonic genius, Gu Zun, in order to gain the limelight and surpa.s.s Long Aotian.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be s.h.i.+ning as brilliant by just going evenly.

Meanwhile, the youths who had a crush on Yulian prayed quietly for Li Qiye to break Aotian’s achievement and reach the twelfth step. They wanted someone to take Aotian down a notch and rob him of his reputation. That was the only way for Yulian to know that her sweetheart wasn’t that excellent.

In fact, even the monarch became a bit anxious. It wasn’t about whether he could beat Aotian or not. She was wondering if he could actually reach the peak.

He stated so a while ago so if he could actually stay true to his words, it would be quite frightening. Some people believed that only Immortal Emperors could break through the dao shackles to reach the peak.

At this time, he has walked onto the first step. A note immediately played.

Outsiders couldn’t feel anything but this wasn’t the case for the climber. This booming sound was the noise of the grand dao, as sonorous as a bell. It instantly attacked the dao heart with a devastating force as if it could tear the body apart. It instilled a primal fear; someone with a weak dao heart would immediately kneel on the spot.

However, Li Qiye had no need to use determination and comprehension. There was no need for him to understand this particular dao note since his dao heart alone was sufficient! It has been polished by the tides of time, not something these twelve scales could touch.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” He took one step at a time before the leering crowd.

“One, two, three…” Someone counted quietly each step.

“Nine, ten…” He finally made it to the tenth to the dismay of Yulian. Her breathing became rapid as she made a cross with her hands and secretly pray for him to fail the eleventh step.
