After entering the thousand-and-first stairway world, Qin Shaofeng could now see the stairway worlds up to the three-thousandth level.
However, what left Qin Shaofeng speechless was that he could no longer see his junior sister.
That could only mean his junior sister had already entered the stairway worlds beyond the three-thousandth level.
But Qin Shaofeng wasn't in a hurry. He had no intention of competing, anyway. He would keep refining as he climbed.
In fact, for Qin Shaofeng, the stairway worlds beyond the thousandth level were just like the first thousand he'd entered when he began climbing the Great Dao Heavenly Ladder. The pressure they exerted barely affected him.
So, under these circumstances, Qin Shaofeng maintained his previous pace, climbing one stairway world after another.
From the first stairway world on the Great Dao Heavenly Ladder to the thousandth, Qin Shaofeng had needed less than an hour.
And from the thousand-and-first stairway world to the two-thousandth, Qin Shaofeng had again needed less than an hour.
Even from the two-thousandth stairway world to the three-thousandth, Qin Shaofeng had needed barely an hour.
After entering the three-thousand-one-hundredth level, Qin Shaofeng could see as far as the ten-thousandth level of the Great Dao Heavenly Ladder.
By then, Qin Shaofeng could be completely certain: the Great Dao Heavenly Ladder had far more than ten thousand levels.
Even though he could now see ten thousand stairway worlds, he still couldn't make out the top of the Great Dao Heavenly Ladder.
Beyond the three-thousandth level, the stairway worlds no longer held hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.
In fact, in the three-thousandth stairway world, Qin Shaofeng saw only a little over a hundred thousand people.
And at last, Qin Shaofeng could feel the pressure of the Great Dao Heavenly Ladder.
But even that pressure
