The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 842: Difficult Path

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chen listened to Ji Siqing’s explanation and curiously glanced at the stairs that extended from the foot of the mountain to the top.

Although it was far away, the pressure he could sense from it was also very strong.

It was as if there was a pair of eyes staring at Ye Chen from within it, cold and bloodthirsty.

“Is this the only choice?” Ye Chen asked.

“Yes, unless you’re willing to apologize to Mr. Jingshui.” Ji Siqing nodded.

“Ye Chen, although I despise Mr. Jingshui’s despicable actions, and even feel a little disgusted, this is how the Kunlun Mountains work. Within this thousand- mile radius, few can match his authority and strength.

“If you offend him, it will be very troublesome. There might even be many sects and factions that will try and hunt you down to curry favor with him.”

“After all, there are some despicable and shameless cultivators in the Kunlun Mountains who will do anything to please a person.”

Hearing Ji Siqing’s reminder, Ye Chen remained silent.

He had no choice.

At this moment, Mr. Jing Shui’s cold voice rang out from behind him.

“Ji Siqing, don’t you want to enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool? Go back to your original position!”

“You should know very well that your talent is incomparable to this kid’s mortal roots. The two of you are not on the same path at all. I advise you to give up on this kid as soon as possible.”

Mr. Jingshui’s gaze grew colder.

No matter what, he would definitely get his hands on Ye Chen’s spiritual beast. However, now was not the time.

He had a noble and exalted status, so if he were to forcefully take it in front of so many sects’ disciples, how would the entire Kunlun Mountains view him?

When the three days in the Dragon Cleansing Pool ended, he naturally had his way of making this reckless ant obediently give the spiritual beast to him.

Ji Siqing glanced at Ye Chen and sighed before returning to the circle of light.

Mr. Jingshui nodded in satisfaction, then his gaze fell on Qju Luocheng.

“Qiu Luocheng, as a judge and a young talent, you will replace Ye Chen.”

Qju Luocheng was startled, but then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

He quickly knelt in front of Mr. Jingshui and said respectfully, “Thank you, Mr. Jingshui. I will not disappoint you.”

Then, he entered Ye Chen’s circle of light.

Qiu Luocheng stared at Ye Chen with interest and snorted coldly, as if indicating that he was superior.

He was not afraid of Ye Chen now. After all, he had Mr. Jingshui behind him.

If Ye Chen acted recklessly, he would be signing his own death certificate!

Mr. Jingshui formed a hand seal and said to Ye Chen, “Kid, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. Aren’t you proud of yourself as a genius? However, let me say this first. Many people have tried to ascend the stairs, but none of them survived.”

“The Heavenly Stairway depends on the cultivator’s strength and innate spiritual roots. As someone with mortal roots, he might not even be qualified to reach the tenth step, let alone the hundredth step.”

“Do you really think there’s hope for you?”

Then, Mr. Jingshui looked at the cultivators behind him.

“If anyone here doesn’t believe my words, you can try it out for yourself.”

“As long as anyone can reach the 50th step, I am willing to make an exception and accept you as my disciple!”

The moment these words were uttered, there was an uproar.

This was an opportunity to become Mr. Jingshui’s disciple!

This was fatally attractive, so as soon as Mister Jingshui finished speaking, a few figures quickly rushed toward the stairway.

Many geniuses wanted to try their luck!

After all, succeeding meant a lifetime of glory and power.

However, in just a few seconds, a scream was heard from the Heavenly Stairway, and then everyone saw a figure was thrown out of the stairway.

Bang!

Boom!

Soon after, the other figures were also thrown out of the Heavenly Stairway and smashed heavily onto the ground!

When one of them landed on the ground, his body instantly exploded.

From this, one could see how terrifying the Heavenly Stairway was!

Seeing this scene, many people sucked in a cold breath.

“The Heavenly Stairway is actually so powerful! Not a single one was able to reach the tenth step!”

“One of them was the peak-level saint king realm expert, Wang Cen!”

“Even saint king realm experts can’t reach the tenth step, let alone the fiftieth step.”

“Most importantly, attempting to climb the stairway might cost us our lives. Who would dare to challenge it? It seems that the safest way is for Mr. Jingshui to send them up.”

Although it was dangerous, there were still a few cultivators who wanted to try. However, the result was the same.

They were either heavily injured or killed.

This level of difficulty was simply incomprehensible and unbearable.

“Ye Chen, do you know how difficult it is now? If you apologize and hand over that spiritual beast to me, I can let bygones be bygones. This is the last chance I’m giving you, and it’s also your only chance.”

The moment these words were said, there was an uproar.

No one had expected Mister Jingshui to be willing to compromise again for Ye Chen.

Why did such a fortuitous encounter befall Ye Chen?

“In that case, I’ll repeat myself one last time. You don’t have the qualifications to be my master, nor the qualifications to become Little Gold’s master.”

There was no warmth in his words, and Mr. Jingshui’s face turned even more ferocious.

Once Qiu Luocheng saw that Ye Chen was being tactless, he tried to curry favor with Mr. Jingshui. He said to Ye Chen, “How dare you, Ye Chen! Are you tired of living? Do you really think that you are invincible after killing a few people? If you have so much confidence in yourself, you might as well cross the hundredth step!”

“No matter how much you lie, you can’t change the fact that you’re a piece of trash with mortal roots!”

As soon as he finished speaking, another person died after being thrown out of the stairway.

Now, no one dared to continue trying.

Even though a young man with a terrifying aura had already reached the nineteenth step, he still retreated in the end.

His face was pale and his body was covered in sweat. Once he left the stairway, he sat on the ground to compose himself.

“The Heavenly Stairway is like facing countless experts. Both the body and the consciousness will be severely injured. This is not something that ordinary cultivators can cross.”

This made countless people feel despair!

Duan Huai An quietly walked to Ye Chen’s side and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him, “Disciple, let’s go back. It’s fine even if you don’t enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool. I know a few secret realms in the Kunlun Mountains.”

Ye Chen was about to speak when Qiu Luocheng’s eyes darted around. He thought of something and quickly left the circle of light. He cupped his hands toward Mr. Jingshui and said, “Mr. Jingshui, please give me a few minutes. I have a way to make this piece of trash apologize to you!”

Qiu Luocheng was gambling!

If his plan succeeded, Mr. Jingshui would definitely have a good impression of him, and perhaps might even take him in as a disciple!

Mr. Jingshui was confused, but he still nodded.
