Chapter 550 - I’m Waiting For You
They knew Sima You Yue had her own decision regarding the issue, so they didn’t say more.
Soon, they all selected their rooms. Sima You Yue didn’t have time to organize her room. She quickly consume a medical pill and began to cultivate, recovering her mental state.
For the past few days, while at the Heavenly Stairway, she had been very tense. When she descended, she was taken away without rest. Now she needed to recover her strength quickly.
She had thought about entering the Spirit Pagoda to rest. But she wasn’t familiar with the area and unsure of the number of experts here. If she wasn’t careful and was discovered entering the Spirit Pagoda, then it would be troublesome.
In the latter half of the night, she greeted Wei Zi Qi and the rest and set up a teleportation array in the yard.
“I don’t know how long I’ll be gone. If class starts, and I haven’t arrive, help me request a leave of absence.” When she finished, she entered the teleportation array.
A few moments later, at the foot of the mountain to the Heavenly Tower, a portal opened. Sima You Yue exited.
Presently, she could arrange these short distance teleportation with high proficiency. The exit was arranged some distance off the ground.
There was no more bustle here like the past few days, and the towering peaks look extremely cold in the dark.
She stood at this spot again. She recalled her out of her body experience when she gone up mindlessly. She was unsure of whether she could reached the summit.
She stepped on the stone steps and the familiar pressure pressed down. But it didn’t hinder her steps. She didn’t use her spiritual energy. She relied on her physical strength to resist the pressure.
When she walked a thousand steps, did she felt a bit strenuous. Then she began to use her spiritual energy to resist. After adjusting her breathing, she continued to advance.
The night turned into day, and the day turned to night again. As she walked further up, her steps gradually slowed. Like before, she reached her original position after two days.
There are two thousand more steps!
She glanced up at the stone steps. She took a medical pill and continue to advance. She wasn’t aware that before she disappeared into the clouds, two silhouettes appeared at the foot of the mountain.
“Vice-president, how did you know he would be here?” The enrollment tutor asked.
“Intuition.” The vice-president appeared in deep thought as he stared at the person above the clouds.
He never thought the object above would react. It made the two old fogeys far away to also react. They asked him what happened. In view of the fact that they bound him to the sect and went out and had fun, he was very kind… he said nothing to them!
Did you thought he was easy to entrap? Want to know the reason? Then come see yourself!
“I don’t know if he can reach the summit…”
Nine thousand… I need a thousand more.
Sima You Yue felt the pressure was increasing. For every step, she had to pause for a while. Sometimes, she couldn’t lift a foot in a half an hour.
Seeing her advancing higher and higher, the two people below were increasingly nervous.
Could he become like that person who reached the summit?
She walked the last thousand steps in a week. She succeeded through clenched teeth.
After stepping on the last step, the pressure on her body disappeared instantly. That instant relaxed feeling almost made her lose her balance and fall off the stone step.
She took a medical pill for pain. All the bones in her body were aching. If it wasn’t for Crimson Flame supporting her body twice, it wouldn’t simply be aches.
In front of the Heavenly Pavilion, she wasn’t in a hurry to get inside. She sat on the last step and started to treat her wounds and recovering her strength.
No one was clear on what was inside the Heavenly Pavilion. She needed to be in good shape to enter, or else she wouldn’t be able to cope with possible dangers.
While she was resting, the vice-president and the enrollment tutor left soundlessly. Before disappearing, the vice president commented, “The matter of her not attending class, go back and arrange it.”
“Yes…” The enrollment tutor replied.
A day later, Sima You Yue opened the gates to Heavenly Tower. To her surprise, there was nothing in the pavilion-tower, except her Heavenly Halberd who got lured in.
“There’s nothing. Why did the Heavenly Halberd even came it?” She picked up the Heavenly Halberd. It was restless in her hand, but it didn’t fly out again.
“Alas—–”
A light sigh suddenly sounded in the room. She was frightened, and she couldn’t find the source.
She was certain she heard the voice, and she felt the air moving in the pavilion tower. It was definitely not an illusion.
The Heavenly Halberd also became more restless. Sima You Yue couldn’t hold onto it and let it broke away.
At the moment the Heavenly Halber escaped, she was inwardly shocked. Was this guy running away again? If it ran out, where was she going to find it?
She turned around and did not witness halberd flying out of the pavilion tower, but she was nevertheless frightened.
Who was the male holding Heavenly Halberd? When did he show up here? Also, he obviously had no breath of life. Is he like Mo Sha, a spirit?
But he’s not transparent, doesn’t seem like a spirit.
“Who are you?” She settled down and asked.
In fact, seeing the Heaven Halberd in the hand of that person quietly, she had her own guess in her heart, but this guess was denied by her subconscious. She felt that if the guess was true, it would be too horrible.
But what the other party spoke next confirmed her guess.
“Even if I tell you my name, you wouldn’t know it. However, the world later called my Emperor Qing Dao.” The handsome male said.
“Are you really Emperor Qing Dao?” Sima You Yue was astonished. Wasn’t it said that Emperor Qing Dao disappeared a long time ago. How could he be here?
Could it be that he lived so long, but he was hiding here all this time?
Seeing her doubts, he chuckled, “I’m not him either.”
“Hmm?”
“Didn’t you feel that I have no breath of life?” Emperor Qing Dao smiled.
“How can you tell …my thoughts….”
Sima You Yue paused. If the other party had reached the legendary stage, it wasn’t impossible for them to read people’s thoughts.
The other party shook his head. “I am not him, because I am only a consciousness that he left behind.”
“Consciousness?” Sima You Yue glimpsed at the body of the other party. She recalled Feng Zhi Xing and others’ consciousness that was left inside her. They obviously weren’t the same class!
“Correct, I am only a consciousness.” The other party affirmed.
“Why are you here? Where did Emperor Qing Dao himself go afterwards?” She asked, unable to suppress her curiosity.
The other party seemed to be confused for a long time, and then answered, “I don’t know what happened to him after I left him. As for why I am here… because I’m waiting for you.”
