Xia Bei stepped into the light gate and appeared at the foot of a mountain.

The mountain is very high and steep, with cliffs like cuts, and the peaks are hidden in the clouds. The vegetation is lush, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. A straight white jade staircase leads straight into the depths of the white clouds.

The breeze is blowing, the clouds are running, and the sound of the forest is sounding.

Xia Bei knew that this mountain should be the first test set by the Great Jue National Teacher, and what he needed to do now was to climb it.

Xia Bei took a deep breath and stepped up the steps.

Sure enough, as soon as he went up the steps, Xia Bei only felt that his body sank slightly, and when he went up the stairs, his body sank again. It's like having an invisible burden on your body, and the higher you go, the heavier the burden becomes.

After walking more than thirty steps, Xia Bei was already tired and sweating profusely, panting. It was like carrying a mountain on his back, and he had reached the limit of his weight, and even if he added another straw, he would have to be crushed down.

And when you look up, the mountains are in the sky, and there are thousands of stairs.

"I'll stop here?"

Xia Bei stared blankly at the steep stairs, a little dazed.

He knew that the inheritance test was usually very difficult, but he didn't expect that this first level had just started, and he had already been pushed to the limit.

There are thousands of stairs, and I have only walked thirty steps!

Standing still for a moment, Xia Bei thought about it carefully, and faintly felt a little illogical in his heart.

I have only walked thirty steps, and the weight on my body is so terrifying, so when I reach the top, thousands of steps will be accumulated, what kind of terrifying weight will it be?

Don't talk about yourself, even if a Heavenly Realm powerhouse like Master Ji comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it, right?

Moreover, the test of inheriting the secret realm is usually based on the strength of the interlocutor, and he will be forced to the limit by walking the thirty steps, and the strong people of the Heavenly Realm will also be forced to the limit if he walks the thirty steps.

Thinking of this, Xia Beiyi gritted his teeth, raised his leg and went up another step.

"I don't believe it!"

"You have the ability to crush me!"

However, when he came up this level, Xia Bei didn't notice that the weight on his body continued to increase.

It seems to know where his limits are, and the invisible pressure will no longer grow when it reaches here.

A few more steps up, and sure enough.

Xia Bei was secretly glad that he had a little understanding of this test - this step just now was not only a weight, but also wisdom and courage.

If you can't think it through, or if you're timid, you'll naturally be eliminated.

Xia Bei slowly climbed on the mountain road.

Although the pressure no longer increased, such a weight had depleted his physical strength so rapidly that every few steps, he had to stop and rest, run the Vital Strength Exercise, and regain his strength.

I don't know how long it took, just when Xia Bei was gradually getting used to this kind of weight bearing and climbing rhythm, suddenly, on a certain step, he found that the scenery in front of him had changed.

Originally, the breeze was blowing, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the steps were neat and dry.

And with one step, the wind and rain are blowing. The steps under your feet also became muddy and slippery, and it was difficult to walk.

Xia Bei looked back and saw that there was still a sunny, quiet and refreshing world behind him. One staircase is like an invisible barrier, separating oneself from that world.

According to a rough estimate, I walked almost a fifth of the way.

And this is only calculated according to the length of the mountain road stairs below the clouds, and it is not known how long it is above the clouds.

The wind helps the rain.

The raindrops hit the face and body like beans, and it hurt.

Xia Bei gritted his teeth and walked up step by step.

He knew that he had entered the second stage of the test.

Whether it's heavy pressure or wind and rain, it's just the epitome of the hard journey. If you can't even pass these tests, what kind of competition is there to talk about?

One step, two steps......

Xia Bei trudged through the wind and rain, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the wind became faster and colder. Originally, he walked more than ten steps and took a break, but now, he had to take a break when he walked up five or six steps.

After walking about a fifth of the way, Xia Bei found that the wind and rain had changed.

The wind is not only cold, but also sharp, and the pouring rain is like a steel needle.

Xia Bei's clothes and skin were cut by the wind blades and cut into small wounds, dripping with blood and unbearable pain.

And even harder to endure is the rain.

The rain pierced the body like a steel needle. It's not the skin and muscles that hurt, it's the bones!

Heavy stress, tiredness, pain...... All kinds of tastes are intertwined, making every step he takes extremely difficult, and every step he takes, he has to exhaust the strength of his whole body.

Continuing to walk up less than a hundred steps, Xia Bei felt that he was on the verge of collapse.

This hundred steps seem to have been walked for so long in a lifetime.

And at this time, Xia Bei suddenly found that a light gate appeared on the side of the mountain road. Through the light gate, he could even see Master Ji and Gu Zheng who were waiting.

It seems that as long as you step over it yourself, you can get out of this cruel world.

Xia Bei couldn't help but stop.

He seemed to hear a soft voice seducing him.

"Let's get out. The voice said, "Just go out and all the suffering will be over." The first level is passed here, so you don't have to work so hard. There is still a long way to go, and it is more bitter and dangerous......"

Xia Bei stood quietly.

And in the sky, a figure was hidden in the clouds, staring at the young man on the mountain road.

The boy stood there, as if shaken, as if asleep.

......

......

The light gate flashed, and Shang Ye's figure appeared in front of Master Ji and Gu Zheng.

The girl's eyebrows were frowning, and she looked a little tired. As soon as she appeared, she sat cross-legged, running the exercises and recovering her source power.

Seeing this, Master Ji and Gu Zheng hurriedly stepped forward.

Master Ji stretched out his hand and stuffed a qi-replenishing pill into Shang Ye's mouth, sending out a source force through the air to help her exercise.

After a few moments, Shang Ye exhaled lightly and opened his eyes.

"How?" Master Ji asked, "What is the test?"

There are many kinds of secret realms in the Heavenly Dao Continent.

Some are the caves of peerless powerhouses, some are naturally generated blessed lands, some are the lairs of powerful demon beasts, and some are the ancestral lands or treasure pavilions of an ancient sect.

There are even some secret realms that still come from the Nine Heavens with the Heavenly Dao River, which is mysterious and unpredictable.

Different secret realms have different natural dangers.

And the inheritance secret realm is relatively safe among all the secret realms. As long as it is not broken by brute force and forcibly taken from the inheritance, it is usually just impossible to pass the test, and there will be no danger to life.

However, with the well-informed knowledge of Master Ji and Gu Zheng, they naturally understood that sometimes the test of inheriting the secret realm was far more difficult than the trap magic circle of other secret realms.

After reading the inscription before, they knew that there were three levels in this secret realm, but what kind of test each level was and how difficult it was, only those who were tested knew it.

"It's a battle of demons. Shang Ye spoke.

"Oh?" Master Ji and Gu Zheng glanced at each other, their brows furrowed slightly, thoughtful.

Gu Zheng asked, "How many floors have you passed?"

Shang Ye smiled slightly: "Seven floors, it's all over." ”

"Not bad. Master Ji nodded and praised, "What have you got?"

"After passing the seventh layer, a divine light appeared, and the Great Dream Predecessor appeared in the light and branded a set of exercises with the Divine Seal Technique," Shang Ye turned his head to look at the female sculpture at the end of the hall, and pointed to his forehead again, "It's called the Great Dream Divine Technique, and the mystery is difficult to understand." ”

"Well," Master Ji smiled slightly, "the exercises are dead things, and how to use the changes is the mystery." Go ahead, after the second level, you should be able to get the lifelong understanding of Marshal Dameng's predecessors. ”

"Yes. Shang Ye replied.

As early as when Shang Ye broke through the first level, another suspended stone platform appeared in front of the platform.

On another platform farther ahead, a light gate lit up.

That's the entrance to the second level.

Because of the power prohibition, Master Ji and Gu Zheng could only wait in place.

Unless they are prepared to directly break the ban with brute force and forcibly take the inheritance, otherwise, they must abide by the rules of the secret realm.

Watching Shang Ye take the suspended stone platform to the second platform, his figure disappeared into the light gate. Gu Zheng turned around and said: "Master, I didn't expect that this first level turned out to be the battle of the demons. It seems that the inheritance test of this secret realm is not simple. ”

Master Ji nodded, his eyes fell on the light gate that Xia Bei had entered before, and said: "Xiao Ye's mind is pure, and this kind of test is not difficult for her, and it is reasonable to clear the customs." I'm only worried about Fengchen ...... right now."

Hearing Master Ji say this, Gu Zheng was also a little worried.

Until now, there was still no movement in the light gate that Fengchen entered, and no one knew what happened to him inside.

And judging from the previous rumors of this kid, this battle of demons is not very easy.

After a long time, Gu Zheng comforted: "Master, don't worry. These days, I observe Fengchen and feel that the rumors may not be true. Even if there are some twists and turns, he should be able to get through them. ”

As he spoke, he smiled again: "Besides, the battle of the heart demon is relatively easy in the test of the inheritance secret realm. If you encounter a test such as mountaineering, it will be miserable. ”

Hearing this, Master Ji couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "The Great Jue National Master and the Great Dream Marshal are ancient powerhouses. At the beginning, the Heavenly Realm had not yet opened, and their Realm was only the pinnacle of the Earth Realm. How can there be such a big test as mountaineering?"

The test of inheriting the secret realm is strange and strange, and it is determined by the different wishes of the owner of the secret realm, different personalities, and some other factors.

Depending on the type, the degree of difficulty will vary.

However, for the inheritor, it will be difficult to pass the test. Similarly, for the master of the secret realm, the difficulty of setting up the test is also high.

A test like the Battle of the Heart Demon is nothing more than a magic tower and different types and strengths of the Heart Demon, and the master of the secret realm is relatively easy to set up, and it consumes less power.

For a Heavenly Realm powerhouse like Master Ji who has achieved the unity of heaven and man, it is not a problem to build a seven-story Heart Demon Tower.

Even if it is Guzheng, I dare not say that there are more, but three or five floors can be built.

But if you use climbing a mountain peak as a test, the difficulty is worlds away from a heart demon tower.

Create a mountain out of thin air in the subspace of the secret realm, and also set up all kinds of secret prohibitions, which cannot be done unless the powerful person has the power to do it.

Although there were many geniuses in the ancient era, the stars were shining, and the light of wisdom laid the foundation for the Heavenly Dao Continent to compete for the source directly, but at that time, people had just had a glimpse of the Heavenly Dao, and in terms of realm, it was far inferior to the present.

Therefore, how can there be such a big test as mountaineering in this secret realm?

Similar tests usually only appear in the middle and even upstream secret realms, and this kind of big test is usually many levels combined into one level, which is extremely difficult.

And these secret realms, whether it is the realm of the owner of the secret realm or the preciousness of the inheritance, are not comparable to this secret realm.

"Wait. Master Ji sat down cross-legged in the void, "If you can't get by, it means that he doesn't have this opportunity." ”

Gu Zheng nodded and waited quietly with him.
