”This Baili Ming will definitely have a higher achievement in the way of the sword compared to others in the future.” Fang Chen thought so.

”Baili Ming, I never thought that you would actually make it to the eighth floor. I truly admire you.” Even Bai Yuan and the others congratulated him.

The next person to challenge the Heaven Stairway was the ninth ranked disciple. This disciple's sword arts was obviously inferior to Baili Ming's, and in a short while, the Heaven Stairway was over.

He finally came to a halt at the fifth floor. He hadn't reached the sixth floor yet.

An hour later, out of the ten great disciples, other than Bai Yuan, who had already charged their way through the Heaven Stairway, the rest of the disciples had all finished.

However, other than Baili Ming, there was not another disciple that appeared that shocked everyone else.

The other disciples were only able to reach the sixth level or something similar to Bing Ling.

At this moment, all of the disciples were looking at Bai Yuan and Chong Yu, because Bai Yuan was ranked second and third respectively amongst the top ten inner sect disciples.

The two of them might be able to reach Baili Ming's level, but it was impossible for them to reach the top.

”Brother Bai Yuan, I will be taking the challenge first.”

After he had finished speaking, his figure flashed as he stepped onto the sword technique Sky Stairway.

was surprised by Yu Yu's display of sword techniques. He had thought that Yu Yu's technique would be a lower tier sword technique, but he never expected it to be a more ordinary Five Elements Sword.

Back in the days in the outer sect, Wen Zhengyun had cultivated the Five Elements Sword.

However, when used, the might of the Five Elements Sword was obviously stronger. Although he could not use his power, but his understanding of the sword arts had exceeded that of ordinary people.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Above the Heavenly Stairway, countless disciples were mesmerized by the exquisite sword techniques.

Before long, he had charged to the sixth level of the Heavenly Stairway. After pausing for a while on the sixth level, he once again charged to the seventh level.

”I wonder if he'll be able to make it to the eighth floor.” Bai Yuan looked at Chong Yu and smiled.

Fang Chen, who was in the midst of the crowd, looked at the sword technique that was about to be unleashed and shook his head slightly. He said, ”Although the Five Elements Sword that is about to be unleashed is extremely exquisite, it seems to have gone to the extreme. I have not completely grasped the true essence of the Five Elements Sword.”

Just as Fang Chen finished his sentence, he failed his attempt at the eighth level of the Heaven Stairway and immediately retreated.

The failed charge was also a bit helpless. He glanced at Baili Ming and sighed, then quickly left.

The failure to rush forward shocked everyone. Only Fang Chen knew that to rush forward to fail was a reasonable thing to do.

”The true essence of the Five Elements Sword is that it complements the five elements. The Five Elements Sword that is used to fight against it does not complement the five elements at all, but fights on its own. Even if one cultivates it to the extreme, one will not be able to grasp the essence.” Fang Chen thought.

”He hasn't even made it to the eighth floor yet. I wonder if Bai Yuan can make it to the eighth floor.”

”It's extremely possible, Bai Yuan's talent in the way of the sword is only second to Du Zhong, he might be able to make it up.”

”In a sword arts battle, Bai Yuan might not even be a match for Baili Ming.” Within the crowd, many disciples were discussing.

Whoosh …

Bai Yuan's figure quickly appeared on top of the sword technique's Heaven Stairway. He instantly performed his exquisite sword technique.

Not long later, Bai Yuan arrived at the seventh floor of the Sword Arts Stairway. At this moment, all the disciples looked at Bai Yuan, wanting to see if he could reach the eighth floor.

Whoosh …

In the midst of everyone's dumbstruck expressions, Bai Yuan executed an exquisite sword strike, causing Fang Chen to be startled.

In the next moment, Bai Yuan stepped onto the eighth floor.

Bai Yuan, who had stepped onto the eighth floor, still wanted to reach the ninth floor, but in the end, he failed.

After Bai Yuan's Heaven Stairway was completed, there was no one who was willing to go up to show their disgrace, since even the top ten disciples of the inner sect were unable to do so, let alone them.

However, right at this moment, Fang Chen walked towards the Heaven Stairway to the sword technique one step at a time.

”It's Fang Chen. life and death arena killed Shangguan Bu. Suddenly, someone recognized Fang Chen and exclaimed.

”Hmph, does he think that Swordsmanship Sky Stairway is just for show? ”How laughable.”

”Even inner sect's strongest warrior, Du Zhong, was unable to reach the ninth floor. I bet he could only make it to the fifth floor at most.” Many disciples were not optimistic about Fang Chen.

The ten great disciples of the inner sect had never once looked at Fang Chen, other than, of course, Bing Ling.

Seeing that Fang Chen wanted to rush to the Sky Stairway, Bing Ling walked in front of him and warned him in a low voice, ”Although the Sword Arts Stairway is not dangerous, it will still bear a lot of pressure when you are on the Sky Stairway. Once you feel that the pressure is too great, you must quickly withdraw, or else it will create a shadow over you, preventing you from cultivating the way of the sword in the future.”

”Thank you, Sister Bingling.”

Fang Chen had a very good impression of Bing Ling, because when he was at the Cultivation Pagoda, the one who started a conflict with Li Guanglong was Bing Ling who spoke out to help him.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yuan frowned slightly, as he was a little dissatisfied with Fang Chen.

”Bing Ling, do you know him?” Bai Yuan asked in a low voice.

”Once.” Bing Ling said indifferently.

”Oh?” After Bai Yuan heard this, a strange expression appeared in his eyes.

However, Fang Chen was still able to notice the peculiar expression in Bai Yuan's eyes, it seemed that Bai Yuan cared a lot about the icicles.

Fang Chen did not think much about it and stepped onto the sword technique's Heaven Stairway.
