For Xia Haoran to be able to crack this formation, Leng Yi didn't show much overreaction. Because it was the unattractive young man in front of him who had already brought him too many surprises. Therefore, when he heard the other party's words, he also felt strange.

After resting for a while, Xia Haoran continued to walk forward. However, this time, Xia Haoran did not encounter the previous barrier and Weiya. Obviously, the mystery of this formation in front of him had been invisibly explored and dissolved by him.

After walking forward for about five or six hundred meters, Xia Haoran finally crossed the formation barrier and arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"What a beautiful place!"

Rao is a man with big nerves like Xia Haoran, and after seeing the scene in front of him at this moment, he couldn't help but praise it out loud.

That's right!

Compared to the muddy and filthy environment of the apocalyptic world outside, this place seems to be a paradise, with a fairy atmosphere, clear mountain streams, lush meadows, green trees on the mountains, flowers blooming all over the field, and even the air is filled with a faint fragrance of wild flowers.

"The world is really wonderful!" Xia Haoran rubbed his chin while shaking his head and looking at everything around him.

But soon, his complexion changed drastically, and he cursed loudly in his mouth: "What a hell! Why can't my divine sense be used?"

You must know that divine consciousness is undoubtedly equivalent to a cultivator's third eye. Moreover, these eyes can also observe and visit everything around them at 360 degrees.

Now, after suddenly losing the super cheating artifact of divine sense, Xia Haoran couldn't help but be cautious. At the same time, he secretly raised the true yuan power of his whole body, carefully guarding against any abnormalities that might appear around him at any time.

However, Xia Haoran's caution seems to be superfluous. He stood still for a moment, not noticing any danger, everything here seemed so calm and peaceful.

Feeling Xia Haoran's nervous expression, Leng Yi's red electronic eyes flashed sharply for a while, and then he turned his head to Xia Haoran and said, "Young master, I haven't found any danger here. ”

"Oh?" Xia Haoran was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Leng Yi, is your 'energy wave' still effective here?"

"Yes!" Leng Yi scratched his head in embarrassment, and said curtly: "My 'energy wave' can be used outside, and it can still be used inside." ”

"Uh......"

This time it was Xia Haoran's turn to be deflated.

He touched his nose and said with a wry smile on his face: "My divine sense is completely suppressed here, and I can't even release a meter radius." Tell me, what did you see?"

"Yes, young master!" Leng Yi pondered for a moment, and then said in a refreshing voice: "At the top of the mountain, there is a majestic palace. However, I have not found any of you humans. It's just that on this mountain, there are a lot of rare beasts, as well as those rare medicinal herbs and exotic fruits. ”

"Palace, are you sure there is a palace on the top of the mountain?" Xia Haoran raised his voice suddenly, stared at Leng Yi deadly, and asked word by word.

"Sure!" Leng Yi nodded affirmatively and replied in a deep voice.

"It's gone!"

Xia Haoran looked up to the sky and laughed, and said excitedly: "No matter what is in that palace, just this mountain of spirit treasures and strange beasts makes our trip worthwhile!"

At the foot of the mountain, there are countless antique bridges, and each one has a different style and shape. There are arched, straight, sinuous and crescent-shaped......

"Up the hill!"

Xia Haoran waved his hand to Leng Yi next to him and said, "Let's go up first to see what secrets are in the palace, and as for the rest, we'll talk about it later." While speaking, Xia Haoran took steps and walked towards the opposite side.

After crossing the small bridge, Xia Haoran couldn't help but be stunned. Because a few dozen meters in front of him was the staircase for climbing. The white stone steps reflect layers of light, and the straight staircase leads to the top of the mountain like a jade-white ribbon.

At this scene in front of him, even Xia Haoran couldn't help but secretly slander in his heart.

Wonderful!

You know, in real life, it's usually hard to see a mountaineering trail that is built straight up and down like the one in front of you, without any twists and turns. What's more, with the height and inclination of the mountain in front of you, can you walk this kind of staircase that goes straight up and down without a railing?

Anyway, Xia Haoran's heart beat a drum.

Whatever the intention of the man who built such a ladder was, that is, to let a young man of good fit, he might not dare to try it.

As Xia Haoran approached, he faintly felt that there was a majestic and solemn atmosphere in the air around him. It was as if some special energy was interfering with him, and there was a feeling of heaviness in his heart.

"Huh, this is ......."

When Xia Haoran's feet just stepped on the first step, an invisible force quickly squeezed towards him. It's just that with his current strength and cultivation, this squeezing force is undoubtedly drizzling, like a breeze blowing in his face.

With doubts, Xia Haoran continued to climb up.

When he climbed to the twentieth step, Xia Haoran felt a little pressure. He paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth outlined a beautiful arc.

"Young Master!" Leng Yi, who had always followed behind Xia Haoran, finally spoke: "There are a total of one thousand and one steps in front of us, and the last step will reach the palace at the top of the mountain. So, I have a partial guess. ”

"Oh?" Xia Haoran smiled slightly and said, "What kind of guess, say it and listen to it." ”

"From the creation and display of these steps, it can't be the kind of thing that you have to do when you are full and have nothing to do. What's more, it's rare to see steep, straight up and down stairs like this one. ”

After a slight pause, Leng Yi continued: "Combined with the palace at the top of the mountain, I hope this is a place of testing and talent selection. Only after passing these more than 1,000 steps can climbers be eligible to enter the temple. ”

"Makes sense!" Xia Haoran stroked his palms and smiled, and said, "Your guess may be the best explanation at the moment." However, as long as we hold on for a moment, wait for us to climb to the top of the mountain, and the answer will be solved. ”

In fact, since Xia Haoran stepped into the first stone step, he had a faint answer in his heart.

In the process of climbing up the stairs just now, Xia Haoran had clearly sensed that with each step, the pressure would increase, and with each step, he would feel a little more pressure than the previous step.

This special strange induction, Xia Haoran believes that it will never be just for him, but for all the climbers who step into this stone step. It can be seen that this stone staircase, which is thousands of steps long, is obviously not for those ordinary people to climb and play.

So, here's the problem.

A huge psychedelic array was arranged to hide the eyes of the world, and a thousand layers of stone steps were created, but an invisible aura was added to block the ...... What is the reason for such a lot of work?

Now the only reasonable explanation is what Leng Yi said.

However, Xia Haoran didn't have time to dwell on these issues, and at this moment he was completely attracted by the stone steps under his feet. Leaving aside the purpose of those people in creating these stone steps in the first place, this selection mechanism alone and the Taoist rhyme contained in these stone steps are worthy of his learning and reference.

In this way, Xia Haoran closed his eyes slightly, but his steps were still moving forward......

This time, Xia Haoran directly stayed at the position of a hundred steps.

Just relying on the strength of his body to come here, although he didn't look sweating and panting now, when the pace under his feet stopped, Xia Haoran couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Along the way, Xia Haoran saw a lot of birds and beasts, as well as a lot of rare medicinal materials.

"It's really a paradise!" Xia Haoran sighed.

He could feel that almost all of the birds and beasts in this group had intelligence, and some of them were quite intelligent. However, they didn't have any ill will towards Xia Haoran's arrival, but when they saw the coldness behind Xia Haoran's buttocks, this group of birds and beasts couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.

After all, the figure of the mechanical people only exists in the depths of the cosmic starry sky and in the fantasies of contemporary life. So don't say that these birds and beasts who have been 'imprisoned' for countless years, even when Xia Haoran saw Leng Yi and them for the first time, he couldn't help but be surprised for a long time.

Looking up at the straight "ribbon" above his head, Xia Haoran muttered to himself: "One hundred stone steps, it should be the limit of ordinary people, right?"

Xia Haoran knew very well in his heart that this stone step was undoubtedly equivalent to a cultivation holy land for those cultivators who had just started, as well as those cultivators with lower realms.

You must know that if you can cultivate under the effect of this pressure for a long time, although it will not directly increase their strength much in the short term, it will temper the body's resistance to a large extent, and the speed of cultivation will also be greatly improved.

However, it is a pity that the thousand-layer stone steps in front of him are not enough to force Xia Haoran's full strength out, and then stimulate and squeeze out his true limit.

It seems that we have to give up studying the mysteries of this place first. After all, this is a different world, and Xia Haoran doesn't have time or too much energy to spend in this place. Thinking of this, he lifted the soles of his feet again and went all the way up!

This time, Xia Haoran actually climbed twenty steps in a row before he stopped. At this time, his temples were already full of large crystals, and it was obvious that in the twenty steps just now, he had exerted the strength of his pure physical body to the limit, and his physical strength was seriously exhausted.

"Buzz ......"

Xia Haoran's heart moved, and a faint wisp of true yuan power quietly flowed and rippled in the eight veins of the Qi Sutra in his body. At the same time, the pressure that originally came from all directions suddenly weakened at this moment, and the body was suddenly relaxed!
