Chapter 151: The Mental Staircase Crumbles, The Sage’s Daoist Teachings, My Qualifications Are Too Good

“How… How can he walk up so fast?”

“It’s like the Mental Staircase does not affect him at all.”

“What the h*ll’s going on here?”

At the entrance of the Sage’s palace, everyone was dumbfounded by what they had witnessed. The speed and ease in which Chu Kuangren ascended the Mental Staircase had greatly shocked them all.

One thing to note was that among the cultivators in that crowd, even the Honorable who went up the stairs the fastest took one whole hour to do so!

However, Chu Kuangren took no breaks as he went up the stairs, step by step. It only took him around twenty or thirty breaths to ascend as if the Mental Staircase was a normal flight of stairs with no illusion at all.

At that moment, the cultivators who had gotten past the Mental Staircase looked at Chu Kuangren fearfully with vague hints of dread.

‘With a Daoist core like that, is he even human?’

A person’s Daoist core was linked and interweaved together with their past experiences, the strength of their will, their desires, and their emotions. With that, the Mental Staircase would conjure illusions to test a person’s Daoist core on a case by case basis.

That was why everyone was extremely suspicious when they saw how Chu Kuangren walked up without stopping. ‘Does this guy even have desires and emotions at all?’

‘Is he even human?’

‘Don’t tell me he used to be a piece of rock!’

Buzz…

At that moment, the Mental Staircase suddenly shook violently and cracks started to form. In the blink of an eye, the white jade Mental Staircase was already filled with cracks as it began to fall apart.

The surge of illusion-generating energy started to dissipate and one by one, the cultivators who were originally trapped in their illusions immediately came back to their senses. They first stared at the surroundings blankly before they hurriedly ran up the Mental Staircase upon noticing that something was happening to it.

Not long after, the finely-crafted and exquisite Mental Staircase had crumbled into a pile of rubble.

“Damn, what happened to the Mental Staircase?”

“Crumbling just when we were wondering if it’s broken or not, what’s the meaning of this? Is the Mental Staircase constructed that poorly?”

“That can’t be?”

The little Daoist boy who was at the foot of the Mental Staircase was so shocked that his mouth was wide open.

His figure disappeared in a flash and then appeared in front of the palace entrance. He sized Chu Kuangren up with a weird look on his face. “Big brother, how did you manage to do this?”

“Huh, what do you mean ‘how did I manage to do this’?”

Although slightly puzzled, Chu Kuangren could vaguely guess why that question was asked.

The other cultivators had also figured out what the little Daoist boy meant and so an Honorable went to ask him, “Little boy, do you mean that Brother Chu is related to the collapse of the Mental Staircase?”

The little Daoist boy nodded and replied, “I once heard my teacher said that the Mental Staircase can test a cultivator’s Daoist core. But once it encounters someone with an indestructible and powerful Daoist core, it’ll somehow be affected by it that it’ll even collapse.”
