505: Chapter 505 You phoenix, just stay put!

Of course, he could only utilize the Dual-Color Spiritual Light right now!

Although the Five-Colored Spiritual Light was powerful, after adding points during this period, the progress of his Five Elements Primordial Scripture was only at 42%, still far from Five Elements Perfection.

He could only simultaneously mobilize the power of two attributes.

After the progress of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture reached 42%, he mastered three more variations.

They were Metal-Earth, Water-Earth, and Fire-Earth!

Out of the ten variations, plus the previous four, he had already mastered seven!

By mastering the remaining three, his dual-attribute cultivation would reach Perfection!

And just now, he had used the yellow and blue lights from the Five-Colored Spiritual Light!

The yellow light represented Earth, possessing the heaviness and stability of Earth.

The power of the Earth element, with its profound virtue sustaining all things, was best at defense and bearing weight.

As that light fell upon him, it was as if he were clad in armor of the earth, making that heaven-toppling pressure lighten significantly.

The blue light represented Water, possessing the ultimate softness and resilience of Water.

The power of the Water element, where the highest good is like water, benefiting all things without contention yet capable of penetrating everything.

That light flowed around his body like a flexible garment of water, shedding and neutralizing the pressure bit by bit.

Both were inclined toward defense, making them perfect for resisting this kind of pressure!

If it were replaced by the sharpness of the gold light or the scorching heat of the fire light, the effect would be mediocre.

Qin Yan felt the sudden easing of pressure on his body, and his heart settled.

Then, he turned his head to look at the stunned Huang Jiuli beside him, his lips curling up slightly into a brilliant smile.

“You, this Phoenix, just stay lying down!”

With that, Qin Yan took a step forward—

His figure instantly dissipated in front of Huang Jiuli!

That was the final step, the 999th floor, the summit of the Heavenly Stairway.

As he took this step, his entire person was instantly enveloped in golden light, disappearing from the 998th floor.

Immediately after, a dazzling golden light erupted from above the Heavenly Stairway!

“Special Grade Disciple—Qin Yan has cleared the Heavenly Stairway!”

A solemn voice rang out, echoing in every corner of the square.

At the very top of the Heavenly Stairway, Qin Yan's figure stood tall!

He stood there, with the heaven-toppling Blood-Colored Long River flowing above him, surging and roaring like a real river of blood circling over his head.

The dual-colored lights intertwined, earthy yellow and deep blue winding around each other, forming a protective spiritual light around him.

The light around him stood tall, illuminating every corner of the Heavenly Stairway!

“Who is Qin Yan?”

“He seems to be that guy from Blue Star.”

“It's him! He actually cleared the Heavenly Stairway!”

Qin Yan's previous performance on the Heavenly Stairway had made many Prodigies remember him.

He had walked to the 500th floor with ease, without using any True Qi or intent.

After the 600th floor, he revealed the heaven-toppling Blood-Colored Long River.

After the 750th floor, two powerful surges of Spear Intent erupted.

After the 800th floor, he even displayed various methods, racing all the way up.

That scene was far too shocking.

But they never expected—

That he could actually pass the Heavenly Stairway!

To think that until now, including Qin Yan, only a few people have passed the Heavenly Stairway!

Every single one of them is a top-tier Prodigy of the Myriad Worlds!

Each one has a resounding reputation and a shocking background.

And Qin Yan, a guy from a 'small place' like Blue Star, actually joined their ranks!

This... this is simply incredible!

At this moment, on the 810th floor, Shen Wanqian looked at the radiant Qin Yan high in the sky, his face also showing shock!

The expression on his round face was quite a sight; his eyes were wide, his mouth agape, and he seemed frozen in place. After a long while, only four words escaped his mouth:

“Brother Qin is awesome!”

These four words were the most fitting description he could think of at the moment.

“Befriending Brother Qin this time, I’ve truly struck it rich!”

Shen Wanqian was so excited that his whole body was trembling.

For his Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, if he wanted to raise his status within the guild, his own strength alone was far from enough.

He also had to see if he could bring benefits to the guild!

And the simplest way to create benefits was to befriend the strong!

The strong need resources, and the guild possesses resources.

The strong need Cultivation Techniques, Medicinal Pills, spirit weapon Materials, and various Heaven And Earth Treasures, all of which the guild can provide.

Once the strong grow, they become the guild's connections and backing, bringing more business, more opportunities, and more profits.

An ordinary expert can bring ordinary benefits to the guild;

A top-tier expert can bring massive benefits to the guild;

And a Prodigy like Qin Yan, who can clear the Heavenly Stairway, will bring incalculable benefits to the guild once he grows up!

If Qin Yan could become a Taixuan Holy Land Elder or even a Saint in the future, and if his own strength wasn't bad, having a good relationship with Qin Yan would definitely allow his status in the guild to improve greatly!

The more Shen Wanqian thought, the more excited he became, looking at Qin Yan as if he were a walking mountain of gold.

...

On the 967th floor, Lin Qingyue was dazed.

Those calm eyes were instantly no longer calm!

She stood there in a daze.

999 floors, how is this possible!

Looking at the dozens of steps ahead, the remaining 32 floors seemed so distant and insurmountable at this moment.

Lin Qingyue only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

“Is your comprehensive ability really this strong?”

Lin Qingyue murmured while looking at Qin Yan high in the sky.

She and Qin Yan were the same age and in the same Realm. Both were fifth rank late stage and nineteen years old.

Yet Qin Yan being able to clear the Heavenly Stairway meant his foundation was far deeper than hers.

If the two were to fight, she estimated she wouldn't be his match.

This realization made her both frustrated and clear-headed.

Frustrated because she had lost to him once again;

Clear-headed because it allowed her to see the gap and know the direction she still needed to work toward.

“In the upcoming challenge tournament, I won't challenge him first.”

Lin Qingyue silently revised her original challenge plan.

Originally, she wanted to surpass Qin Yan on the Heavenly Stairway and then challenge him in the tournament to wash away her previous humiliation.

Now it seemed that plan had to be postponed.

Challenging him now would only be asking for humiliation.

She would wait until she was stronger, until she reached the sixth-grade, and until she further mastered her Innate Divine Abnormality before fighting him again.

Then, she took a deep breath and continued climbing the Heavenly Stairway!

Even if she couldn't clear it, she had to reach her own limit.

On the 998th floor, Huang Jiuli lay quietly on the Heavenly Stairway alone, her face full of despair and disbelief.

She just lay there, her fiery-red robes spread out, looking like an abandoned Phoenix.
