“Which step did you get to back then?” Xiao Chengfeng asked curiously.

The drunkard said, “The thirty-seventh.”

“Even you only got to the thirty-seventh step?” Everyone was shocked.

The drunkard might be quite far away from Madman Chu and the Unrivaled, but he was still at the peak of supreme beings. He could easily kill regular supreme beings, but only managed to get to the thirty-seventh level.

They could deeply feel how hard those steps were.

!!

“Every level of those steps represents a completely new level of comprehension. Every ten steps is a complete surge in comprehension. During the last lifetime, even the Unrivaled only managed to get to the forty-first level,” The strong man said.

Even the Unrivaled was only at the forty-first?!

Everyone saw how strong the Unrivaled was. He was enough to fight the drunkard and the others, and even easily suppress people at the drunkard’s level. Yet, he was only four steps higher than the drunkard!

Was the gulf between steps that big toward the end?

From the thirty-ninth level to the fortieth was a huge change!

Everyone realized things.

“Oh god, h-how is he so quick?!”

“He’s already at the twenty-fifth step. Could he get past the thirtieth?”

“He’s past it. He’s passed it. He ascended thirty steps in one go!”

“I can’t even get to the fifth step. How big is the difference?!”

…

Discussions could suddenly be heard by the Heavenly Palace’s group, and all of them looked to the steps.

After the Door of Wonder opened, a few lucky ones were not far away and became the first to enter the Door. After that, some cultivators also managed to get through the gray mist and entered the Door of Wonder. Coupled with the traitors, there were a few thousand cultivators there.

Everyone tried very hard to climb, and could not climb that far. Only one person caught everyone’s eyes.

Yang Jian said seriously, “It’s the Unrivaled!”

The Unrivaled just entered the Door of Wonder a little earlier than the rest of them, but he already ascended to the thirtieth step and continued to ascend.

Even though he already entered the Door of Wonder once in the past lifetime, the speed was incredibly shocking.

At the same time, they noticed that the other traitors were all also already past twenty steps. Some of them continued upwards, while others sat down cross-legged, stopping at the steps for enlightenment.

“We should go too!” The drunkard said. The others nodded, not daring to delay things any further as they walked up.

Xiao Chengfeng and the others did not have much hope for the first step initially. That was because the first step was just the start, and they were already supreme beings. They felt that it would not help that much.

Yet, they realized that they were wrong when they took the first step.

The moment they took the first step, their minds went black. Then, waves of Wisdom surged inside, giving them a deeper understanding.

In Xiao Chengfeng’s mind, waves of understanding of the sword constantly appeared. It caused him to understand that the Door of Wonder was amazing because of how perfect it was!

It was perfect Wisdom!

Even though Xiao Chengfeng was already a supreme being with an incredibly strong sword Wisdom, it was not perfect or complete. He had the tyrannical way the Tyrant taught him, and the Sky Melting Sword that the past owner left behind for him. He also had his swordsmanship. However, there was no way he could understand every way of the sword in the world.

At that moment, the Door of Wonder was constantly teaching him swordsmanship that he never learned before. It came from the very basics, like quick blades, slow strikes, life blades, death blades…

Even though Wisdom always ended up at the same point, different paths were still unique. Only by understanding all the differences would Wisdom be complete. Naturally, their skills would go through dramatic changes after that!

A university student might be able to solve an elementary school math problem, but he might not be able to solve it using all the different ways it could be solved with.

It was just the first step, but Xiao Chengfeng already felt like he greatly benefitted, and could go further in the future!

He went to the second step…

Qin Manyun and the others were the same. They patched up the deficiencies in their Wisdom. From the very basics, they slowly filled up what they lacked, perfecting their Wisdom.

Books appeared around everyone. It was the representation of Wisdom, using books to enlighten everyone. It was much faster than themselves just thinking about it. It was practically cheating.

The drunkard, the strong man, and the Undying wee at the Door of Wonder before, so they understood things very quickly. They did not even need to stop as they continued to climb, earning another wave of exclamations.

At that moment, the Unrivaled was already at the thirty-sixth step.

He finally started to slow down.

In the last lifetime, he stopped at the forty-first step. He knew that he still had a lot of deficiencies. The basics were the most important, so he did not dare to be careless. From the thirty-sixth step on, he needed to absorb everything carefully. Any mistakes he made could affect him.

“You can’t turn back in the Door of Wonder. You only have one chance to ascend. You can’t be too anxious, and can’t be impatient. You have to slowly gain your understanding step by step,” The drunkard said. He might have been through this once, but he still did not dare to be careless. He tried his best to control his pace, not going too fast.

Slowly, the drunkard, the strong man, and the Undying all went past the twenty-fifth step. At that moment, only supreme beings went past the twenty-fifth floor.

However, as the drunkard looked through the books and submerged himself in studying, he suddenly felt something as he looked somewhere.

He was stunned at the sight.

That was because Nanan, Dragin, and the others were already past the twentieth step, and almost about to catch up to him.

Initially, there was nothing strange about their pace, but they started to ascend even faster as time passed.

He immediately said, “Everyone, don’t be so impatient. You have to try your best to understand every step if you want to go far. Otherwise, it will be hard for you to continue ascending.”

Dragin said, “Don’t worry, I’ve learned everything. It’s not that hard.”

“I know that it’s not hard to understand, but you have to gain a complete understanding!” The drunkard nagged.

Nanan said, “That’s not too hard either. I tried to go slow and move carefully, but these things are very simple. Big brother already taught us a lot. Our understanding of Wisdom was always very complete.”

The drunkard was taken aback.

That was when he remembered where that group came from. They were protectors who stayed right next to that person.

That person’s existence was enough to light the way for anyone. From the fact that the group could stand up to the Unrivaled, it was clear how well they understood Wisdom.

At that moment, he suddenly thought, ‘We’re so different.’
