Under countless curious gazes, Qin Sheng took out a glittering token. There was a huge flame symbol on it, which was strange and mysterious.
"This is Emperor Yan's token. I'm here on behalf of Emperor Yan to announce the end of the Astral Source Festival."
"Why?" Zhou Sheng frowned slightly.
Qin Sheng said, "An unknown creature has been found in the Astral Source Territory. It might be a King-level Astral Beast."
"King-level Astral Beast?!" Everyone's expression changed. A King-level Astral Beast had appeared in the Astral Source Territory?
Jiang Yan's eyes flickered. He frowned and said, "Emperor Yan means that the Astral Source Festival will end here and we won't enter the Inner Area?"
Qin Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, the participating Commanders are at most five Star Card Masters. With such strength, they won't even have a chance to escape if they encounter a King-level Astral Beast in the Inner Area."
"These Commanders are the mainstays of the Yan Dynasty. We can't afford to lose them. Therefore, the Astral Source Festival will stop in the Outer Area."
"Since the Astral Source Festival has ended here, what about the Astral Source Spirit?" Jiang Yan was curious.
Qin Sheng's eyes were indifferent. After a moment of silence, he said, "The Astral Source Spirit will naturally belong to the capable."
"Emperor Yan said that since we stopped in the Outer Area, the rewards will depend on the number of Astral Source Beads on the list. Therefore, the Astral Source Spirit will naturally belong to the Astral Source Bead Master."
"That is …"
"Luo Feng."
Wow!
These words were like a sudden clap of thunder. Everyone was a little stunned. The Star Source Spirit this time around was given to Luo Feng so casually?
"Damn it, why?!"
Jiang Yuan almost exploded. He thought that the Astral Source Festival had ended early because Luo Feng had cheated. He didn't expect the reality to be even crueler. The Astral Source Spirit was given to Luo Feng directly!
He was completely shocked!
Luo Feng was startled. Then, unconcealable ecstasy appeared on his face. He got it just like that?!
He thought that he would have to enter the inner region and fight a battle of wits and courage with Jiang Yuan and the others before he would be able to obtain it!
Wasn't this happiness a little too sudden?!
"Could it be that Emperor Yan found out that I don't have any more trump cards and deliberately arranged this so that I can directly obtain the Astral Source Spirit?"
Luo Feng murmured in his heart. There was indeed such a possibility!
Ah, Zhuo Ying, I love you so much!
"No, absolutely not, this is unfair!" Jiang Yan said angrily, shaking his head without hesitation.
Qin Sheng raised his eyelids slightly and said, "Who do you think you are?"
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Yan's expression changed slightly. His eyes flickered for a moment before he regained his composure and said, "Since it is Emperor Yan's decision, we will naturally abide by it."
"Although Luo Feng has won the first place of the Astral Source Bead, it is not enough for him to directly obtain the Astral Source Spirit, right?"
"I am not disobeying Emperor Yan's order, but it is unfair to do so. I am afraid that others will be bitterly disappointed …"
"It is not up to you to decide whether it is unfair or not."
Qin Sheng said coldly. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. Then, he looked at Luo Feng and said in a gentle voice, "Luo Feng, now follow me to obtain the Astral Source Spirit."
"Okay," Luo Feng said. Although his expression did not change at all, he was extremely excited in his heart.
Then, the two figures disappeared, leaving behind the dumbfounded crowd.
Jiang Yan's expression was uncertain. He had prepared three treasures for Jiang Yuan so that he could deal with Luo Feng after entering the inner region. It would be best if he could kill him directly.
However, Emperor Yan had closed the inner region directly, leaving him no chance to make a move?!
In the void, the two of them rode on Heavenly Horses and rushed toward the inner region.
Along the way, Qin Sheng could not help but look at Luo Feng with a strange look.
Luo Feng felt goosebumps all over his body. He said, "Why are you looking at me? I am Emperor Yan's man!"
Qin Sheng smiled embarrassedly and came to his senses. He immediately shook his head with a smile and sighed. He said, "The guy who didn't even know what a Star Card was back then has become a commander and is famous in the four pavilions. This is something I did not expect."
"It seems that Emperor Yan has a sharp eye."
"But then again, you are Emperor Yan's childhood sweetheart. How can someone who can be recognized by Emperor Yan be easy to deal with?"
Luo Feng smiled embarrassedly and said, "Where are we going now?"
Qin Sheng said, "To the inner region, where you can obtain the Astral Source Spirit."
Luo Feng frowned and said, "Didn't you say that there is a King-level Astral Beast there?"
"Although that King-level Astral Beast is in the inner region, it definitely won't go crazy with the Astral Source Spirit. Don't worry," Qin Sheng said.
Therefore, the two of them quickly arrived at their destination with the two Heavenly Horses flying continuously.
Luo Feng cast his gaze over, only to see a golden pool in the air.
Qin Sheng looked at the golden pool and made a hand seal with lightning speed.
Whoosh.
The next moment, a bright light appeared in the golden pool. The golden light flickered and intertwined to form a staircase.
At the end of the staircase was the golden pool.
"The Astral Source Spirit is in the golden pool. However, if you want to go to the golden pool, you have to go up this staircase," Qin Sheng said.
"This is the Staircase to Heaven. There are some rules to this Staircase to Heaven," Qin Sheng said with a smile.
Luo Feng was curious. "What's the rules?"
Qin Sheng stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes flashed and he said, "Look, there are ten stairs in total. The higher the stairs you climb, the better the inheritance of the Astral Source Spirit will be in the end."
"In the history of the Yan Dynasty, the best result was to climb the ninth step. As for the tenth step, no one has ever succeeded since ancient times. I wish you good luck."
Luo Feng stared at the Staircase to Heaven and fell into deep thought. It seemed that this was the last test.
Since the higher the stairs, the better the quality of the Astral Source Spirit. Therefore, he naturally had to climb a few more steps within the scope of his ability.
"Go and get your spoils."
Qin Sheng said with a smile. He pointed at the dazzling staircase and sighed in his heart. After obtaining the inheritance, this guy's realm would probably catch up with his.
"Okay."
Luo Feng nodded. His figure moved, and under the envious gazes of countless lemon spirits, he walked up the stairs.
Boom!
Almost at the moment when he stepped on the Staircase to Heaven, Luo Feng's footsteps stagnated and he let out a muffled shout. A terrifying pressure surged towards his body like an avalanche.
He suddenly felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, and he was a little breathless.
Luo Feng frowned slightly. No wonder this Staircase to Heaven was a test. Although there were only ten stairs, the first one had such a great pressure, not to mention the later ones.
Therefore, after a short hesitation, he took a deep breath and calmed his mind. He stepped forward and continued to climb the stairs.
At this moment, the light screen outside the Astral Source Spirit flashed and the situation around Luo Feng appeared.
Between heaven and earth, all eyes were looking at Luo Feng at this moment. They were all curious. How far could the final winner reach on the Staircase to Heaven?
Under everyone's gaze, Luo Feng walked up the stairs and soon reached the fifth step.
At this point, his body began to wobble and his steps began to lose their stability. Obviously, he was under extremely terrifying pressure.
At this moment, Luo Feng felt as if he had fallen into the deep sea. His bones began to crackle.
He raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the golden pool above. In his dark eyes, there was no sign of retreat. He immediately gritted his teeth and took another step forward.
Whoosh!
A blood mark appeared on the surface of his body. Then, blood flowed down from his back and dyed the golden Staircase to Heaven red.
Jiang Yan stared at Luo Feng's figure from afar. He pondered for a moment and said, "Zhou Sheng, it seems that you were the same as me, at the eighth step, right?"
Zhou Sheng nodded and said, "I have a faint feeling that he may also reach the eighth step."
"Why do you have to boost the morale of others and destroy your own prestige?"
Jiang Yan sneered and said, "It's just the Astral Source Spirit that was obtained by luck. Does he deserve to be compared with us?"
