MRS. AND MR. SMITH - Season 4 Episode 84

Seeing the eager looks of the crowd, the Pavilion Master seemed to be moved as well.

“The Law Enforcement Elder and guardian stay behind to watch the house.” Moments later, the Pavilion Master spoke indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the crowd was ecstatic.

“Thank you, Lord Pavilion Master!” The courtyard was filled with thunderous cheers.

Soon after, the Pavilion Master didn’t waste any more time and turned to leave the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.

Dozens of alchemists followed closely behind, a scene never seen before.

Mr. Snyder, who was hiding in the shadows, was shocked by the sight.

“Where are they going?” Mr. Snyder frowned.

“Who knows.”

After pondering for a while, Mr. Snyder spoke with a sinking voice, “Let’s follow them and find out.”

The three quickly left the hotel and stealthily trailed behind the crowd.

The place where the cultivation skill mentioned by the Pavilion Master was located in River Town.

River Town had numerous mountain stones, and rugged peaks could be seen everywhere.

In many places, there was no access for vehicles, and as they walked, it felt as though they had traveled back in time.

Soon, the group arrived at the foot of a huge mountain.

What was astonishing was that in front of this mountain stood a giant Stone Staircase!

The entire Stone Staircase was a masterpiece, reaching straight for the heavens!

Above the Stone Staircase was actually a huge hand!

Such a scene left people in awe!

When approaching the Stone Staircase, one could feel a strong sense of majesty that made people involuntarily want to pay their respects.

Those with low strength knelt down immediately; even Ethan Smith felt slightly unwell.

It was as if his entire body and divine sense were being sucked into the Stone Staircase.

The Pavilion Master pointed at the giant hand above and said, “The cultivation skill is up there. As long as you can climb up, you can obtain it.”

“Is it that simple?” Ethan Smith was somewhat surprised.

The Pavilion Master glanced at Ethan Smith and said indifferently, “Being careless could cost your life.”

Ethan Smith stuck out his tongue and laughed awkwardly, “I was being reckless.”

In the shadows.

Mr. Snyder and the others also witnessed this scene.

“Hahaha! Ethan Smith actually wants to climb the stairway to heaven! This kid must be crazy!” Mr. Snyder couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The person beside him sneered, “Throughout history, only a few people have been able to climb the stairway to heaven, but countless people have died on it.”

“Indeed,” Mr. Snyder couldn’t help but sigh.

“Back in the day, even Ignacio Burke didn’t dare climb the stairway to heaven. Jackson Harris, who was on par with Ignacio Burke, tried, but almost died on it.”

“Although he survived by a stroke of luck, he hasn’t come out in over a decade. Does Ethan Smith think he’s better than Ignacio Burke and Jackson Harris?”

The person beside Mr. Snyder chuckled, “It has nothing to do with strength. It’s said that only the Heavenly Selection can climb the stairway to heaven.”

“Right,” another person nodded.

“The Heavenly Selection can easily climb up, but if you’re not chosen by the stairway, it’ll be extremely painful.”

Mr. Snyder nodded slightly, his hands behind his back, as he indifferently said, “It seems like we can finish this early and report back.”

At the bottom of the stairway to heaven.

Ethan Smith hesitated to step on the stairway to heaven.

“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself,” the Pavilion Master said next to him.

“If you are approved by the stairway, you won’t experience any restrictions or pressure.”

“But if you’re not, the Second Layer will be met with a force of ten thousand pounds.”

Ethan Smith nodded slightly and said, “So, the Second Layer will determine whether I’m qualified to climb up.”

“Exactly,” the Pavilion Master nodded.

“I understand.” Ethan Smith took a deep breath.He didn’t waste any time, immediately adjusting his mentality and stepping onto the stairway to heaven.

The moment he stepped on the stairway, Ethan Smith’s heart felt as if it was struck by something!

It was as if someone had smashed his heart with a hammer!

This made Ethan secretly worried.

Could it be… he was not recognized by this heavenly staircase?

Then, Ethan lifted his foot and stepped towards the Second Layer!

Everyone was nervously watching this scene, even the Pavilion Master narrowed his eyes slightly.

Because everyone knew whether Ethan Smith was the chosen one or not! Whether or not he was recognized by the stairway to heaven!

Finally, Ethan’s foot landed on the Second Layer.

“Ah!!!” The moment he stepped on, Ethan’s entire body felt like it was being torn apart by a giant hand!

The instant he made contact, blood seeped from every pore in his body!

His head felt like it had been struck by lightning, his vision darkened and the world spun!

“How could this happen…” Edward Green couldn’t help but mutter softly.

“Could it be… Ethan Smith is not the Chosen One?” The Fifth Elder’s face also turned ugly.

The Pavilion Master shook his head slightly and said, “It seems he was not recognized by the stairway to heaven, he can go now.”

In the dark.

Mr. Snyder and the others couldn’t help laughing loudly.

“This kid is indeed not the Chosen One, hahaha!” Mr. Snyder laughed wildly.

“This second stairway will likely cause him great damage.”

“We can go now, there’s no need to watch further.”

But just when everyone was disappointed, Ethan Smith struggled to stand up on the stairway!

He was covered in blood, and his body trembled continuously.

However, Ethan had no intention of giving up!

Under this excruciating pain, Ethan raised his foot with difficulty, stepping towards the Third Layer of the stairway to heaven!

“Huh?” Mr. Snyder, hidden in the dark, couldn’t help raising his eyebrows.

“Does this kid want to forcibly climb the stairway?”

“Haha, interesting, as far as I know, Jackson Harris did the same back then, but he couldn’t withstand it beyond the Thirteenth Layer.”

“I guess he can climb up to the Fifth Layer at most.”

The crowd discussed animatedly, their eyes filled with a touch of playfulness.

Under the stairway, the Pavilion Master’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a trace of unease flashed in her eyes.

“Ethan, forcibly climbing the stairway will yield no results, even if you manage to climb a few layers by luck, you’ll eventually fall.” The Pavilion Master said coldly.

However, Ethan didn’t say a word, his teeth clenched tightly, enduring the torture of countless pain without any intention of retreating!

“So what if it doesn’t recognize me…” Ethan gritted his teeth, lifting his foot once more!

“I don’t need the stairway’s recognition, just my own!” Ethan roared angrily, his energy suddenly erupting!

He fought against the power of the stairway with his own fierce strength!

Finally, Ethan stepped onto the Fourth Layer!

The pain of the Fourth Layer was dozens of times more intense than the Third Layer!

Ethan only felt as if his divine sense was about to be stripped away! His bones made “cracking” noises, as if they were about to shatter!

“Ethan! Hurry down!” The Fifth Elder shouted anxiously.

But Ethan ignored everything, his hand firmly grasped the Fifth Layer, struggling to climb up!

“Crack!”

The instant he stepped on the Fifth Layer, all ten of Ethan’s fingers broke! His vision spun, and he could barely stand!

“Ah!!” Ethan roared continuously, using all his strength to lift his foot and step towards the Sixth Layer!

The moment he stepped on the Sixth Layer, Ethan’s calf burst open with a “bang”!

“Ethan! Hurry down!” The people watching below shouted in unison.

Even the Pavilion Master could not bear to watch this heartbreaking scene.
