The stele was buried in the rubble of the copsed mountainside. Only a portion was visible.


    Fan Zhui pulled it out of the rubble. It was over ten feet long, and after he wiped away the dust, its surface was inky ck and covered in the intricate glyphs of the Dragon Pce.


    Su Yi and Xi Ning walked over to examine it.


    “This is indeed the preeminent trial grounds of the Dragon Pce, the Dragon Ascension tform. The stele is carved with some of the Dragon Ascension tform’s secrets,” Su Yi said after a moment. “ording to the stele, the trial of the Dragon Ascension tform is divided into eight stone steps. They represent what the Dragon Kings saw as eight barriers standing in the way of their cultivation. Each step is emzoned with the unique Grand Dao source power of the dragon race.”


    “Those who overcame all eight steps were like dragons breaking free of their fetters to ascend into the heavens. Only after climbing all eight steps could they step onto the Dragon Ascension tform and acquire a Grand Dao Dragon Vein’s source power to temper their bodies and their Daos.”


    “Only Immortal Kings of the dragon race are qualified to undergo the trials of the Dragon Ascension tform. Those of other races are highly likely to encounter grave misfortune should they make the attempt.”


    When Xi Ning heard that, she looked at Su Yi. “It seems this good fortune isn’t fated for you, Fellow Daoist.”


    Su Yiughed. “Perhaps, but don’t you think that makes the trial all the more interesting?”


    Xi Ning was unwittingly stunned, and she couldn’t help but be a bit impressed.


    Sometimes, little details could reveal a whole awful lot, and some people exuded confidence with every gesture. Xi Ning sensed an altogether unique, unparalleled spirit in Su Yi’s seemingly casual words. After all, when she learned the rules of the Dragon Ascension tform’s trial, even she subconsciously assumed the trial would be far too difficult. But when Su Yi heard the same thing, it only made him all the more eager!


    When shepared herself to him, she couldn’t help but be rueful.
