Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

Liu Feng was far beyond the second step now. He had gone to the middle.

On his hand, dancing, was the same principle that forced so much pressure on everyone else. Liu Feng seemed to have expert control on this power.

He was continuing upwards without any intention of stopping.

Just minutes before, he had a sudden enlightenment of this principle, and he knew that this comprehension meant that he had no need for the middle steps anymore. He could go up further than many others.

He looked up to see that there were few there. At the very top of the staircase, there were three people sitting down and meditating. They were at the brink of reaching the end.

And below them, only two others were making their way upwards.

The rest of the climbers were below Liu Feng, and it looked like they were trying to make their own way.

"They don\'t look like they are system users. But why the hell can no one hear me? It is like all of them are puppets and they are moving like someone is controlling them from the background." Liu Feng wondered as he kept climbing upwards.

He stopped briefly at the six hundredth and sixty sixth step. The pressure seemed to have changed fundamentally. The principle seemed to have advanced.

But Liu Feng needed only a minute of slight concentration to understand the changes that were present and the principle that he was controlling had changed along with the change in surroundings.

He seemed to see forests and ponds. He heard the singing of fairies, and saw them dancing around him. The stair case disappeared in his eyes.

He saw beauties approaching him with provocative dresses and faces. They wanted him and they kept touching him.

"Scram! I know that you are an illusion!" Liu Feng said coldly.

He was different now. He changed. He no longer cared for these distractions. He looked up and saw the end of the staircase once more.

The beauties around him changed immediately. From singing fairies, they turned into screaming demons. They scowled at him and tried to tear him away.

But Liu Feng did not even falter. He let the demons tear his skin away, but he kept climbing up.

The faces of the demons changed, and they looked at him with shock. They quickly ran away when Liu Feng raised his hand and the same pressure that was falling on him tried the act on these illusions.

Crack!

The surroundings began to crack, and the forests and ponds disappeared. What remained was obvious. It was the staircase. One staircase that seemed to stretch on forever.

Liu Feng spent hours and hours, and it probably went past the day mark. But his progress was slow and he reached the nine hundredth step.

Looking up, there were only three more in front of him. The same three people that were sitting down and trying to comprehend something.

They were immobile, and they were at the same place for hours. This scared Liu Feng. What if this last step was going to be insurmountable.

"Stop thinking like that. Nothing is insurmountable. I will be able to cross worlds if I have to. All I need is time!" Liu Feng shook his head and willed his heart.

He started climbing again. One step at a time. He inched closer and closer to the three men. It was then that he realised something horrifying.

The three men were not facing the end. They were facing the entrance. They were facing the people who were climbers.

The moment that he stepped onto the nine hundred and ninety eighth step, the eyes of the three men opened.

"You are not ready to climb up the staircase of the heavens! You have not understood the Yuan Principle enough. Return and climb again!" the man in the middle said.

Before he could even have a proper look at these three men, Liu Feng felt this immense power push him out of the staircase.

Instead of toppling down like normal physics would work, he crashed right at the first step.

"Damn it! I could not even look at that person." Liu Feng cursed.

He saw that many other were falling as well. The number of people on the staircase had increased from the time that he started climbing.

"Mind eye." he whispered.

[Error! Error! System abilities cannot be used in the staircase of the heavens! System abilities cannot be used on restricted objects!] the system blared.

Liu Feng was taken aback.

"This is a cause for worry. They are all considered objects?" he whispered to himself as he started his journey upwards once again.

This time, the pressure that was raining down on him was easy to manage. With just a wave of his hand, the pressure completely disappeared.

"This pressure, the Yuan Principle. That man said that I did not understand it completely? Then I must have done something wrong. I am missing a portion." Liu Feng paused for a moment.

Then, he went to the spirit sea once again. This was where it all started. The pressure had something to do with the spirit sea.

Inside, his embodiment was king. Waving his hand, he could recreate this very principle inside the spirit sea. The waves started crashing once more, and it created a deafening sound.

"There needs to be an equilibrium. So that the sea is calm, but the principle exists. I need to be able to control the principle completely." he surmised.

He slowly raised his hand, and the spirit sea shook a little. There were ripples at most, and then, it was calm once again.

The sea was still, but above, the air was raging. The Yuan principle existed in his Niwan Palace and it no longer acted like the suppressing pressure, but rather like a nourishing energy.

The palace that seemed boundless was clearly growing stronger.

Liu Feng started climbing once more. This time, the pressure just rolled over him. He could see the Yuan principle in the air.

When he reached the six hundred and sixty sixth step, the illusions that appeared did not even come near him.

"One last stretch to go!" he whispered as he kept going.
