Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 89 Golden Stairway II

Kyle raised his brow seeing their serious face and hurriedly followed their gaze.

He saw a one-hand sword emitting bright golden light. The sword was old yet it had a majestic aura around it.

Also, different from the other treasures, the sword was floating almost at the top of the golden stairway.

While Kyle was looking at the sword curiously, Nine exclaimed loudly.

"Holy shit! These treasures are almost thousands of times greater than what we saw at the end of the fourth-floor maze."

Before anyone could say anything more, some demi-humans, elves and humans standing inside the crowd hurriedly approached the golden stairway.

They were practically drooling while looking at the thousands of treasures flying above the golden stairway.

Under Kyle\'s gaze, they made their way toward the stairway. But before they could step on the stairway a transparent barrier appeared in front of them, immediately stopping them in their track.

Seeing the barrier, they looked at each other and without waiting for even a second they started attacking it.

-BAM!

-BAM!

"Why can\'t we break it?"

"Fuck the barrier is too strong!"

They cursed loudly because even after attacking the barrier continuously there wasn\'t a single scratch on it.

Suddenly a loud and old voice sounded from above the stairway, stopping everyone in their track.

"Kids nowadays are very impatient."

The old man who was floating toward Kyle, finally appeared in front of everyone.

Kyle looked at the old man and blinked his eyes.

The old man was short almost half the size of a normal man. Also, his ears were slightly pointy.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at the white-robed old man who suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Hmm, Why so many?"

The old man questioned with confusion. It was the first time he saw so many people passing Casian test. Still, he threw the thought to the back of his mind and looked at everyone with a smile.

After a long time, he was finally given a chance to appear on the lower floors. That\'s why he wanted to see the new talents of the outside world.

"Hello, kids. My name is Jordan and I am the guardian of this floor. I am very happy to see all of you."

Right now not just Kyle, everyone was blinking while looking at the old man.

He was too slow!

The old man paused in his sentence and looked at everyone again.

"It\'s so nice to see so many young people standing in front of me after such a long time. How about you all tell me what\'s happening in the outside world... "

Before the old man could continue, an elf suddenly walked forward and cut him off.

"What\'s the trial?"

The elf\'s voice was calm as he stare at the old man with an expressionless face.

After experiencing a trial on the last floor he was sure they have to complete a trial before they could get something from the thousands of treasures floating above the golden stairway.

That\'s why the elf didn\'t wanted to waste any more time.

Kyle looked at the burly elf who spoke up and almost had the urge to praise him because the old man\'s voice was so slow that he almost wanted to fall asleep.

Not just Kyle, Jian and Nine also looked at the elf with respectful eyes.

It was because they were too scared to offend the old man! Who knows how strong the old man was?

On the other hand, this elf was so confident that he directly cut off the old man.

He was really fearless!

The old man gazed at the elf who just spoke up before turning his gaze away from the crowd. He slowly started to fly back toward the armor he was cleaning before.

"Sigh. The younger generation is always too impatient. Very well. I shall tell you about the trial."

Everyone listened attentively as this was a very important topic.

"The trial is very simple. I will remove the barrier around the golden stairway and you have to climb upward. The higher one climb toward the top, the more precious reward will they get."

"Also, only those who are able to reach the top of the stairway would be able to advance toward the next floor."

Everyone heard the old man and sighed with relief because unlike the last floor, the trial the old man gave was really simple.

Among the crowd, a demi-human raised his hand and looked at the old man who was still floating toward the armor.

"What will happen to those who didn\'t reach the top and won\'t be able to advance toward the next floor."

The old man paused and a small chuckle escaped his lips.

"Don\'t worry I am not like that idiot Casian. This floor is not made to harm anyone. It\'s basically a floor where anyone can get a treasure as long as they step on the first stair."

"Also, to answer your question those who didn\'t qualify to advance toward the next floor have to go down."

Hearing the old man\'s words, Kyle mumbled under his breath.

"Go down?.."

He had a slight idea as to what was the old man trying to convey.

The old man finally appeared in front of the armor and started cleaning it again. He looked at everyone and spoke again.

"I will send them down. More specifically I will send them to the first floor."

Everyone went quiet and a pin-drop silence enveloped the atmosphere.

They were clear about the rules, as long as they reached the top of the golden stairway they will advance toward the next floor with a reward but if not they will be thrown on the first floor again.

Of course, climbing the stairway would definitely be hard or else why would they get a reward just because they stepped on the first stair?
