Primordial Harem System
Chapter Summary
Just as he placed his feet on the 10th step, the stairs' power seeped into his body and made him activate his martial technique. They soon sat down cross-legged and began using all the treasures they got on the stairs to strengthen themselves. Even the top disciples had solemn looks; they knew even in their peak they wouldn't be able to block this attack, let alone now when their power was exhausted from ascending the stairs.
Taking a deep breath, he continued ascending.
Just as he placed his feet on the 10th step, the stairs' power seeped into his body and made him activate his martial technique.
Tyrant's Wrath Spear Art activated on its own and fought against the surging tide of energy.
The disciples below felt the different fluctuations in Shen Yuan's Qi.
"Eh?
Thunder Qi?
Are the steps above testing the martial techniques of Cultivators?
"Lin Tianchen closely felt the steps, "The tenth step is testing his mastery of his martial techniques.
"Shen Yuan's eyes sharpened.
'You want to test my techniques?
Let's see if you can take this, First Form: Heaven's Call!
'He took out his Tyrant's Wrath Spear, which thundered with heavenly might and exploded with an arc of electricity, dissolving all the pressure.
Soon, pure Qi began pouring into his body, which he swiftly stored in his dantian.
He raised an eyebrow, feeling that the energy was half of what he had received from the ninth step.
[Ding!
][Congratulations!
You have ascended to the tenth step and received a King Grade Treasure!
][High Sun Morning Dew (Low King Grade)—A high-quality dew for brewing tea.
Helps in calming the mind and purifying the spirit once brewed with the right tea leaves.
]Shen Yuan silently gazed at the dew gourd in his hand, "…King Grade?
" he muttered speechlessly.
He had expected to gain Emperor Grade treasures all the way to the top, but from the looks of it, that will only remain a dream.
Heaving a sigh, he stored the treasure in his spatial ring and looked back to see the gloating face of the Thunder Cloud Sect.
They were more than happy that he didn't get an Emperor Grade Treasure, and also heaved a sigh; otherwise, their sect would have grown far too much.
Shen Yuan looked at the stairs again and thought for a second, 'I see, the ninth step is special.
I will get ten times the pure Qi than in the previous step on the ninth step.
Does that mean there is a special reward at the 18th step?
'Just as he was about to ascend to the eleventh step, a commotion happened below.
He turned back to see three cultivators ascending the stairs.
But they were not from any of the sects that had arrived with them; instead, they were from the Blood Demon Sect and the Cloud Demon Sect.
"You demonic scum!
How dare you come before us?!
" Lin Tianchen shouted before unsheathing his sword, "Mystical Three Sword Technique!
" he shouted before his sword brewed an intense sword intent that he aimed at the demon disciples.
But they fearlessly stood before the attack, looking at Lin Tianchen with mocking glances.
The attack abruptly stopped before dissolving into oblivion.
Lin Tianchen and all the disciples looked toward the demon disciples in shock.
"How did they do that?
""Did they get a legacy of a senior here?
"This raised a commotion as all the disciples looked towards them with both fear and disgust.
Shen Yuan closely looked and saw that the runes of the stairs were faintly glowing, "No, it's not the demon scum.
Fighting is prohibited on these stairs.
They waited this long to probably confirm this.
"Wu Han looked at them coldly.
"You really played well, huh, good, let's see how you survive once we leave these stairs.
"He began ascending, but as soon as he tried to take a step back, the wall pushed him back.
Not letting him descend, his expression changed as he tried to descend again and again.
Lin Tianchen took a deep breath.
"Looks like we can either reach the top or stay here forever.
"Sun Yi's gentle voice sounded, "Everyone, calm down.
Even if we can't attack the people from the Demonic Sect, they also can't harm us.
So it would be better to recover and strengthen ourselves before trying to ascend again.
We still have around two weeks inside the Mystique Realm to ascend as far as we can.
"Everyone calmed down, hearing her gentle words, and began thinking about it.
They soon sat down cross-legged and began using all the treasures they got on the stairs to strengthen themselves.
"Thanks, Saintess Sun, for the reminder.
" All of them echoed with cupped fists before focusing on recovering and strengthening.
Sun Yi looked at the front, where Shen Yuan was standing.
He smiled gently at her in appreciation, which made her heart skip a beat.
He seemed almost holy with the sun at his back.
But she quickly calmed down and sat down cross-legged to meditate on her gains.
[Use all the treasures you got here to increase your cultivation base.
]Shen Yuan said to Wan Ling using harem connect, wanting her to increase her cultivation base so she can ascend the stairs.
Her bloodline alone allowed her to reach at least the 18th step.
But due to her weak cultivation base, it limited her progress.
[I will do that then.
]She sweetly smiled at him and sat down cross-legged on the spot.
Shen Yuan looked at everyone who started to sit down cross-legged to cultivate.
Just then, he felt a small tremor in the Mystique Realm, but it was so small that even he felt it was his hallucination.
'Was there a tremor just now?
' He thought to himself.
[I don't know, I didn't feel anything all the way here.
]Yue Lan lazily replied; she wasn't even checking the outside world.
Instead, I chose to watch some anime from Shen Yuan's memory.
'You damn weeb.
' Shen Yuan speechlessly shook his head.
She had complained some time ago that she was lonely and bored all alone in his sea of consciousness.
So he allowed her to watch anime from his memories.
From then she used most of her free time to binge-watch anime.
[You really watched a lot of anime huh?
There are over a thousand anime in your memories.
]'Oh by the way, what time is it in my old world?
'Yue Lan thought for a bit,[Should be around April.
The time is really all messed up.
Sometimes it accelerates while others it slows down to a snail's speed.
]'April, huh?
You should watch that anime.
It was so good.
' Shen Yuan also awakened his old interest in anime and recommended one of his most memorable ones.
[Oh, that??
Hmm, let me try.
]…Their short discussion soon ended as Yue Lan started watching a new anime.
Shen Yuan nodded and took a deep breath, removing all the distracting thoughts from his mind and taking the next step.
BOOM!
The pressure on his Sea of Consciousness doubled, prompting him to release the second form of Heaven Wrath Spear Art: Tyrant's Judgement!
He threw the spear in the air, filled with intense lightning Qi before it began to plummet down.
Its speed continued increasing, putting pressure even on the disciples who were cultivating in peace below, making them open their eyes in shock.
"What is this Spear Art??
""Is it another Emperor Grade Technique?
""Shen Yuan is really a monster to master so many techniques.
"The disciples couldn't help but murmur, looking at the falling pillar of thunder.
Even the top disciples had solemn looks; they knew even in their peak they wouldn't be able to block this attack, let alone now when their power was exhausted from ascending the stairs.
