Primordial Harem System

Yi Tianyun chuckled, “Well, I can’t leave the other disciples empty-handed now, can I? In a short while the Stairway to the Heavens will descend. It will help those at the peak of Dao Core Forming Realm ascend to the next level with a pristine foundation.”

Shen Yuan’s eyes shined hearing his words, “Senior, how many people will be able to get this opportunity? Or is it for a single person?”

Yi Tianyun gently smiled, “It’s an opportunity for everyone, but once a person reaches the top of the stairs, all the gathered Qi will be channeled to his body. There are a total of 33 steps, each step takes the difficulty to the next level. The Stairway will not only challenge your cultivation base but also your foundation, Dao Heart, and comprehension.”

Shen Yuan took a deep breath and bowed, “Thanks for bestowing this opportunity on us juniors.”

Yi Tianyun gently smiled, “This is as much as we can do for the later generations to fight back against those Demon bastards.”

His body began to dissipate slowly, fusing back into the palace. Shen Yuan looked at his vanishing figure with respect as his mind spun with the thought of Stairway to the Heavens.

After Yi Tianyun’s transparent figure vanished entirely, the orb before Shen Yuan began to pulse rapidly, its light growing more intense. The entire palace trembled, ancient walls rumbling ominously.

“The fuck! The palace is collapsing!” Shen Yuan exclaimed, swiftly storing the Seven Heaven Extremity Jade Slip in his spatial ring.

He quickly turned around and rushed towards the exit, spatial Qi erupting beneath his feet as he utilized Storm Burning Pulse at full strength. Behind him, the majestic hall rapidly fractured, collapsing pillars sending waves of dust billowing forward.

Shen Yuan dashed from the collapsing structure at immense speed, barely escaping the tumbling rubble behind him.

Boom! Boom! BOOM!

Explosions echoed through the air as the palace collapsed entirely. All disciples who had gathered nearby retreated in panic, their eyes widening at the catastrophic sight unfolding.

“Daoist Shen!”

“Look, Shen Yuan is out!”

Liang Hui and the others gazed at Shen Yuan with a mixture of relief and astonishment as he landed safely, swiftly turning around to gaze at the site of destruction behind him.

In place of the destroyed palace, radiant beams of profound Qi surged skyward, shaking the entire Mystique Realm. The air trembled as, astonishingly, a majestic, golden-white stairway manifested, ascending majestically upward, seemingly connecting the very heavens themselves.

A total of thirty-three steps appeared, shimmering with archaic glow.

“The Stairway to the Heavens…” Shen Yuan murmured in awe, recalling Yi Tianyun’s explanation.

The formation of the Stairway instantly caused massive ripples throughout the entire Mystique Realm. Countless disciples from various sects, clans, and factions noticed the profound aura emanating from the center.

“It seems like Senior Yi Tianyun wasn’t exaggerating,” Shen Yuan said softly to himself, “This truly is an unparalleled opportunity.”

In mere moments, powerful auras rapidly approached, arriving at astonishing speed. From the direction of Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect’s disciples, familiar figures emerged.

“Brother Yuan!” A gentle and familiar voice called out joyfully.

Shen Yuan turned around, his eyes warmly falling upon Wan Ling’s beautiful smiling face, accompanied closely by Lei Ranyu and four other core disciples of Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect, each ranked within the top five of the sect’s Core Disciples.

Lei Ranyu approached, observing Shen Yuan seriously, “Shen Yuan, do you know anything about this phenomenon?”

Shen Yuan nodded calmly, explaining succinctly, “It’s an ancient trial prepared by the World Raiser Sect, the Stairway to the Heavens. There are thirty-three in total. Each step will test a cultivator and give equal benefits.”

Wan Ling’s eyes sparkled, excitement visible within. “This opportunity… it’s too incredible! Brother Yuan truly never disappoints.”

Shen Yuan’s gaze focused on Wan Ling, “Oh? Fourth level of Dao Core Forming Realm already? Not bad, not bad. Looks like you got quite a few good opportunities here.”

Wan Ling shyly smiled and nodded, “We found a hidden inheritance site. There were a lot of treasures of Heaven and Earth, so we both raised our strength.”

At the same moment, powerful auras rapidly descended from the distance.

From the Immortal Sword Pavilion’s side, Lin Tianchen appeared gracefully, sword intent surging powerfully around him. Behind him were several top disciples, including Bai Wuji and Bai Qian, their gazes sharp and focused upon the stairway.

Not far behind, the Mystique Array Sect swiftly arrived, led by a familiar face—Wu Han—whose eyes narrowed immediately upon seeing Shen Yuan.

Yet, this time, Wu Han was calmer, more reserved. His eyes held respect and slight vigilance after learning of Shen Yuan’s repeated incredible feats. He silently nodded towards Shen Yuan in greeting.

Finally, rumbling thunder echoed as the Thunder Cloud Sect’s top two disciples arrived, lightning crackling furiously around them, radiating unmatched arrogance and fierce competitiveness.

Upon seeing the representatives of all Divine Grade sects gathered, the remaining disciples from lesser sects retreated respectfully, eyes blazing with anticipation.

Lin Tianchen stepped forward first, greeting Shen Yuan politely, “Brother Shen Yuan, your luck and capability are truly impressive. May I ask what exactly is this stairway?”

Shen Yuan smiled calmly and explained clearly for everyone present:

“This is the Stairway to the Heavens—a trial left by Yi Tianyun, the Sect Leader of the ancient World Raiser Sect. It has a total of 33 steps. Each step tests one’s foundation, Dao Heart, comprehension, and cultivation. Those at the peak of Dao Core Forming Realm can climb the stairway to ascend toward Mortal Tribulation Realm, forming an exceptionally pure and solid foundation.”

All the disciples listening gasped with astonishment, their eyes blazing with excitement and determination.

Wu Han stepped forward, respectfully addressing Shen Yuan, “Brother Shen, how many people can take this trial?”

Shen Yuan answered calmly, “Senior Yi told me it was an opportunity for everyone. So if I’m not wrong then all the disciples present here can take the trial.”

The atmosphere instantly turned fiery and intense, each disciple’s heart filled with the desire to ascend.

Wan Ling looked gently at Shen Yuan, quietly whispering, “Brother Yuan, how far do you think I can ascend?”

Shen Yuan helplessly shook his head, “How would I know? It’s my first time even hearing of a stairway like this.”

At this point, the Thunder Cloud Sect’s top disciple stepped forward, his voice arrogant yet acknowledging Shen Yuan’s status, “Shen Yuan, despite previous misunderstandings, let our competition this time be fair and righteous. Let’s see who can reach the pinnacle first!”

Shen Yuan disdainfully looked at the Thunder Cloud Sect disciple, but to keep up appearances he nodded his head. “Very well.”

Lin Tianchen gently smiled and spoke, “Then, fellow daoists, let us seize this opportunity fairly. Destiny will decide who truly can ascend these heavens.”

All disciples nodded in agreement, eyes blazing with excitement and hope.

Shen Yuan gazed upward toward the golden-white stairway ascending to the clouds, but instead of walking forward, he turned around and addressed everyone present.

“Everyone, we might have gotten this opportunity, but we can’t let the vermins from the demonic path take advantage of it. If we find any then it will be best to attack them on the spot.”
