Chapter 1935 Many Risks


    Bam!


    The huge fireball quickly rushed to Vivian''s body and immediately burst with terrible aftermaths.


    Seeing this, color drained from Alex''s face. She couldn''t see what happened next, so she worried for


    her.


    As the smoke cleared, she found Vivian standing on the crystal steppletely unharmed.


    "Oh, Tripp, that was dreadful! I''m so d you''re okay!" Alex couldn''t help but heave a sigh of relief.


    "It''s no big deal. He''ll be fine." Rocky smiled. "Let''s go." Before Alex could even figure out what he


    meant, Rocky had already grabbed her hand and escorted her onto the crystal staircase.


    Simr to what Vivian had experienced earlier, the first crystal step cracked under their feet as they got


    on. Fortunately, they moved to the next step before the first one shattered and copsed beneath them.


    They continued on as though they were merely walking on the ground.

    They faced tests that got more severe with each step they took. It seemed that the higher the step, the


    more dangerous the test was, even for a premium-stage Spiritual Emperor.


    Nheless, for Rocky and Vivian, these tests were just a piece of cake.


    Meanwhile, another team also arrived at the crystal pce and noticed that Vivian, Rocky, and Alex


    were climbing the crystal staircase and approaching the top of the crystal pce.


    This team, led by a premium-stage Spiritual Emperor, and whose members were all Spiritual Kings at


    the premium stage, was the strongest among the five ns that entered the Ethereal Valley. It was


    none other than the team from the Lingji n.


    "Elder Ruth, how could they have gotten here before us?" the medium-stage Spiritual Emperor said to


    their premium-stage Spiritual Emperor. She was quite surprised to see that another team beat the


    fastest among all the ns.


    "They probably took some shortcuts," Elder Ruth replied calmly.


    "Let''s hurry! There must be valuable treasures in this pce!" Since they came here second, the


    Spiritual Emperor at the medium stage couldn''t wait to get inside.


    "Go ahead and take two people with you. Follow those three warriors closely," Elder Ruth instructed.


    The Spiritual Emperor nodded and brought along two Spiritual Kings at the peak stage to go to the


    crystal staircase. Just as they touched the stairs, the first stepped cracked under their feet.


    One of the Spiritual Kings was caught off guard and fell heavily right onto the ground. She had a hard


    time getting up.


    Fortunately, the Spiritual Emperor and the other Spiritual King reacted in time to move up to the second


    step. However, when they reached the second step, a huge fireball fell from the sky.


    They both hurriedly released their spiritual power to protect themselves, but the Spiritual King got sent


    flying and awkwardly rolled to the groundter.


    The Spiritual Emperor barely touched the third step, yet a thunderbolt instantly struck down. Despite


    being a Spiritual Emperor at the medium stage, the powerful force that came at her made her feel a


    little scared.


    Upon learning that spiritual power alone could not block the thunder, she quickly took out a treasure


    and released its power. In an instant, a bell-shaped shield appeared above her head and covered up


    her whole body.


    Boom!


    When the lightning struck the shield, it began to shake violently.


    A few secondster, the power of the treasure was used up. As it slowly disappeared, it revealed the


    Spiritual Emperor that was drenched in cold sweat. Her face had also gone extremely pallid.


    It took her three steps to realize that she wasn''t strong enough to proceed. After all, she knew that it


    would be the end for her if she went one more step. She didn''t risk moving up and decided to return to


    Elder Ruth, along with the two Spiritual Kings.


    "I''ve just tested it out. I''m afraid only Spiritual Emperors above the medium stage could climb up the


    crystal staircase," the Spiritual Emperor reported with a sooty face.


    "I''m sure this staircase is part of the trial, but it seems the difficulty would be too much for just one


    team. It would be best to wait for other teams to link up all our Spiritual Emperors," Elder Ruth


    prescribed coolly.


    "But how could those three go up so easily?" The middle-stage Spiritual Emperor was flummoxed.


    Apparently, Rocky, Vivian, and Alex were close to reaching the top of the stairs.


    Elder Ruth simply watched them silently. After all, everything was possible in the Ethereal Valley.


    On the other side, the three of them were climbing up the stairs so effortlessly. It didn''t take them long


    before they arrived at the top of the staircase.


    Of course, Elder Ruth''s team were stunned that they managed to easily pass through the crystal stairs


    without sustaining any injuries. They couldn''t fathom how they did that when their middle-stage


    Spiritual Emperor had trouble getting past three steps.


    At the top, Rocky, Vivian, and Alex found a closed gate that led to the pce. Rocky walked up and


    tried to push it open, but the gate wouldn''t budge no matter how much he forced it.


    "Maybe we need some kind of key to open it," Rocky murmured and hesitated for a moment. Based on


    experience, he presumed that the divine treasure that Alex obtained could help.


    "Let me borrow the Ice Wand for a second," Rocky urged Alex.


    Without any reluctance, she handed it to Rocky.


    As soon as Rocky approached the gate with the Ice Wand in his hand, it finally shook and opened.


    "It worked!" Alex couldn''t help but feel ted.


    "It feels like this divine treasure was left in the snownd on purpose so someone could get it and open


    the gate to this crystal pce," Rocky whispered to himself. Still, something bothered him. For a crystal


    pce that was meant to be a shrine, he found no trace of aura left by any deities in this ce.


    "Is something wrong, Rookie?" Alex thought she saw Rocky deep in thought.


    "It''s nothing. Let''s go." He returned the Ice Wand to Alex and stepped inside the pce.


    Vivian and Alex then followed him closely.


    When they got inside, they were surprised to find that it wasn''t as magnificent as it looked from the


    outside. It was awfully dpidated, almost as if it had been destroyed by a violent force. It didn''t appear


    to be divine at all.


    "I really thought we could acquire some treasures from this pce, but I doubt we''ll find anything here."


    Alex sighed and pouted, obviously disappointed.


    "It''s too early to say that. For all we know, this is all just an illusion." Rocky smiled, almost


    mischievously.


    "Huh?" Alex furrowed her brows, confused that she might have missed something.


    "He means that as long as you''re with him, you''ll find treasures," Vivian rified.


    "Really?" Alex''s face instantly lit up.


    When Rocky heard what Vivian said, he was at a loss. It was true, but he wasn''t sure if he should feel


    embarrassed or delighted by that remark. He would always look all over the ce for any signs of


    treasures and dig three feet into the ground if he had to.


    "We might have some bad news, though. This ce is filled with danger!" Rocky swiftly changed the


    subject and narrowed his eyes.
