I am really not a medical immortal.

Chapter 1749 - 1748: Reaching the Summit (Sixth Update)

As time passed, even with the aid of the Ancient Barbarian Pill, the difficulty mounted for the woman in purple and the woman in white as they ascended. Large beads of sweat dripped from their foreheads, soaking their clothes.

"Senior Sister, I... I can’t go on," the woman in white said, her face deathly pale.

At this moment, with each other’s support, they had reached the nine hundredth step of the blue stairway. The oppressive force emanating from the stairway was overwhelming, almost too much for the sisters, despite their full strength.

"Junior Sister, you must hold on no matter what! Think of Master; if you fall here, she will be heartbroken! Do you want Master to grieve over you?" the woman in purple urged quickly.

Even she, upon stepping onto the nine hundredth step, found it unbearable to withstand the immense power from the stairway.

"Senior Sister, I... I..."

"Junior Sister, the elder has saved us from despair multiple times, do you want his efforts to be in vain?" the woman in purple interrupted, her voice low and firm.

"I... I won’t let him down!" the woman in white said earnestly.

Thinking of the elder who had saved them twice, an unknown strength surged within her. She clenched her teeth, letting the oppressive force bear down on her, her expression resolute.

She flipped her palm, taking an Ancient Barbarian Pill from her storage pouch at her waist and swallowing it.

"Senior Sister, we must persist, we cannot disappoint the elder, nor our Master!" the woman in white said.

"Yes," the woman in purple nodded with a hint of a smile.

The sisters, supporting each other, struggled onwards, step by arduous step, up the blue stairway.

Each step forward took a tremendous effort, the oppressive force bearing down upon them strong as a mountain. Yet they persisted, the pill’s effects and the immense pressure from the stairway simultaneously increasing their physical strength at a visible rate.

By now, their physical cultivation, aided by each other, had reached the Golden Core Realm, truly remarkable.

Seeing the last ten steps remaining, the woman in purple smiled brightly.

"Junior Sister, do you see? Only ten steps remain; if we try hard enough, we will succeed!" she said.

"Yes," the woman in white nodded vigorously.

"Let’s go! This time we will reach the top!!!" the woman in purple declared with determination.

They exchanged a glance, seeing a glimmer of hope in each other’s eyes. They took the last three Ancient Barbarian Pills from the purple jade bottle and swallowed them.

With the pill’s power, the overwhelming pressure seemed to lessen. Ignoring the compressive force, they moved forward again.

The higher they climbed, the stronger the space’s oppression became.

Ten steps felt like a divine test, deeply blocking their path. Yet, despite the difficulty, they did not give up, determinedly moving forward.

Four hours later.

The sisters finally climbed the last step.

"Senior Sister, we did it! We’ve really succeeded!" the woman in white exclaimed excitedly, waving her arms.

"Yes! We succeeded; we reached the top," the woman in purple also said with excitement.

The sisters hugged joyfully, jumping up and down to release their excitement.

"I never expected they’d actually succeed; I underestimated them," the Third Saintess said with a complex expression.

"With perseverance and dedication, nothing is impossible!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

He felt genuinely happy for their success.

"Haha! No matter what, it’s all thanks to the elder. Without him, they wouldn’t have succeeded! He deserves the greatest credit!" Zha Muzhen said flatteringly.

Thud thud!!

The sisters knelt on the blue stairway, respectfully speaking to the surroundings.

"Thank you, elder, for your aid. Bao Lan and Qingyi will never forget it! In the next life, even if we must be oxen or horses, we will repay your lifesaving grace."

After speaking, they kowtowed three times respectfully.

"I didn’t expect them to be so genuine. Master, why not take them as disciples? They’re quite decent looking, with excellent figures," Zha Muzhen suggested.

"You talk too much! Do you want to feel the might of this stairway?" Zhang Xiaohao replied sharply.

"Hehe!" Zha Muzhen chuckled awkwardly.

Bao Lan and Qingyi rose, sitting on the stairway.

"Ah! Senior Sister, my Spiritual Power has recovered!" Qingyi shouted excitedly.

"Mine too! So, climbing the stairway can restore sealed Spiritual Power and Divine Thought?" Bao Lan speculated.

They exchanged excited looks with this thought in mind.

Seeing this, the stairway was silent and motionless, causing Zhang Xiaohao to frown again.

"What’s going on? Why isn’t the Teleportation Array responding?" Zhang Xiaohao asked in confusion.

"Master, could it be we haven’t met the conditions, so the array isn’t reacting?" Zha Muzhen suggested.

Zhang Xiaohao said nothing, activating his Reincarnation Heavenly Eye, his gaze flashing with golden light as he observed the stairway.

Under close scrutiny, all the mysteries of the stairway were revealed.

Withdrawing his Reincarnation Heavenly Eye, Zhang Xiaohao spoke seriously.

"The Formation here is called Seven Stars in a Row. We’re at the Tianxuan position. If I’m correct, there are six more stairways like this. Only once everyone has climbed them will the seven stairways activate the Transmission Array."
