Volume 2: Yin City Chapter 21: Stone Stairs to Heaven

The first thing that catches my eye is a hall with a white floor, there are many people around, I heard that three people with immortal-level talents, stepped into the sixth floor, their eyes are all looking at the three of them, to see what is the difference between them and ordinary people, some people talk to the three of them, and some concentrate on cultivation, after glancing at the people, they continue to meditate and concentrate, not disturbed by the outside world.

In the center of the hall is a stone staircase with an oblique upward angle, the black stone steps are full of devastation, but it gives people an indestructible texture, at a glance, only the first ten steps can be seen, and then there is a thick fog, blocking people's vision.

There was a stone monument of the same material as the stone steps next to the stairs, and the three of them looked at each other, ready to step forward and take a closer look, when a person said to his friend next to him: "You say, can they go to the Mingzhi monument?"

"This ...... It should be possible, after all, the talent of the three people is immortal-level, even if it can't be done now, it shouldn't be able to stop the three of them for long. ”

"Immortal-level talent, that is, it may be very high if it can reach height in the future, whether it is strong now, I think that these three people may not be able to see the inscription of Mingzhi Tablet in a short time. ”

After many people saw the movements of Shen Qianqiu, Ling Baizhi, and Wei Luyao, they all began to whisper, and Wei Luyao's hearing was very sensitive, and when they heard the conversation of everyone in the hall, the most frequent word was the Mingzhi Monument, so they said to Shen Qianqiu and Ling Baizhi, "The monument in front seems to be called the Mingzhi Monument, listen to them, this monument has special functions, it is better to pay attention to some." ”

Wei Luyao said this, his footsteps did not stop, but he just put his hand on the handle of the knife, Shen Qianqiu and Ling Baizhi heard Wei Luyao's words, and the same was true, as the three of them got closer and closer to the stone monument, Shen Qianqiu suddenly felt a strong resistance and could not continue to move forward, while Wei Luyao and Ling Baizhi, who were walking with Shen Qianqiu, did not happen, and were moving forward as usual.

Shen Qianqiu stood in place, stretched out his hand and pushed it towards the air in front of him, and there was indeed a strong resistance, like a cover, blocking himself in place, and the harder he pushed forward, the greater the resistance.

Wei Luyao and Ling Baizhi noticed the situation here, and also stopped, looking at Shen Qianqiu, in the hearts of the two, the current Shen Qianqiu is undoubtedly the strongest person among the three, and the situation is still worth watching.

The people who were originally talking in the hall, seeing this situation, changed the content of what they said, from the Mingzhi Monument to how long does it take for the blocked young man to pass "Among the three people, only one was blocked by the Mingzhi Monument, and the talent is indeed very good, but this person who was stopped, I guess I will not be able to pass the first test in a short time." ”

"It's also said, looking at this distance, the degree of rejection from the Mingzhi Monument should be very large, doesn't this person have any ambitions or dreams for the future in his heart?"

"When a group of us came here, wasn't it the same, now it depends on how long this person is...... Huh, what does he want to do?"

While everyone was talking to each other, they saw Shen Qianqiu draw out the long sword and wave it at the void, and then it passed, it passed?

People who saw this scene, their eyes were about to fall to the ground, this is the inner test of the Mingzhi Monument, how can you rely on swordsmanship to pass here, for a while everyone was wondering, if they didn't carry out Mingzhi at that time, the same would be the case, whether they could also pass this first test.

Shen Qianqiu's side, touching the resistance with his hand, there was a sense of déjà vu, it seemed to be a special soul stone carving, he took out the long sword, used the spring bud to maintain the space power on the sword body, and cut the space cover in front of him with a few swords, which was similar to Shen Qianqiu's guess, after Shen Qianqiu cut off the connection between the marking nodes, the resistance really disappeared, Shen Qianqiu took a few steps forward, and found that there was actually a spatial rhythm behind him, turned around, raised his left hand, and touched it again, the node that had just been cut off was already back to its original state at this moment.

This scene really surprised Shen Qianqiu, in his understanding, the space repair will definitely happen, but before the repair, this mark actually restored the connection between the nodes as before, and then the recovery of the surrounding space, in this way, the resistance that had just been broken was also returned to normal at this time, so his own outward touch, this resistance appeared again, from the original not letting in, to the current not letting out, is it necessary to cut off the node every time you come to get in and out?

Shen Qianqiu shook his head, turned around and walked towards the stone stele, Ling Baizhi and Wei Luyao looked at Shen Qianqiu's behavior, and they both understood that Shen Qianqiu had encountered some obstacles, although he was curious, but since only Shen Qianqiu was stopped outside, it meant that he was the only one who did not meet a certain condition, and the answer should be on the stone stele.

The three of them stood in front of the stone tablet, looking at the questions on the stone tablet, at this time, Wei Luyao and Ling Baizhi looked at Shen Qianqiu with strange eyes, and Shen Qianqiu himself frowned, thinking in place.

The content on the stele is divided into two sections, one is the function of the stele itself, and the other is the description of the stone steps behind, now the problem appears in the function of the stele, this stele is called the Mingzhi stele, the function is as famous, if there is no obsession in the heart, there is no yearning and pursuit of certain things, and there is a mentality of everything that happens, it is impossible to get close to the stele, so Shen Qianqiu will appear in the previous scene, blocked by the Mingzhi stele, and cannot get close.

Wei Luyao and Ling Baizhi, one wants to become a peerless sword immortal who is stronger than Ying Bufan, and the other wants to see the vast world outside Yin City, but Shen Qianqiu doesn't, since Shen Qianqiu became a reincarnated person, he only knows that he wants to become stronger, awaken his left eye, master the spatial sword qi, and comprehend the broken wither, spring buds, and blooming, all of which are enhancements to his own strength, but Shen Qianqiu really doesn't have a goal, he doesn't know why he wants to become stronger.

Wei Luyao and Ling Baizhi looked at Shen Qianqiu in deep thought, turned their heads and looked at the Mingzhi Monument, the second paragraph of the Mingzhi Monument wrote the information related to the stone steps, the stone steps are called the Tongtian Steps, a total of one hundred layers, each step is counted as a small layer, every ten steps are a large layer, when you enter the ninety steps, even if you pass this Tongtian Steps, you can leave the inner tower and go to the outer tower to promote the sword rank.

Wei Luyao and Ling Baizhi glanced at each other, and Wei Luyao said, "Why don't you come and have a competition, and see who reaches the ninetieth floor first."

Ling Baizhi snorted coldly, "Hmph, I'm afraid you won't make it"

Since Ling Baizhi met Wei Lu Yao, it was like meeting a nemesis, saying that it was no matter how good or low, but the actual situation was that everything was pressed by Wei Lu Yao, and this trace made Ling Baizhi's heart very awkward, and this stone step was a good opportunity to surpass Wei Lu Yao in his heart.

The competition between the two began, and they walked to the stone steps in unison, and stepped up the steps to the sky, the pace was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they crossed the ten floors and disappeared from view.

And Shen Qianqiu, now he is still standing in place and thinking, what is the reason for becoming stronger, even if he does not become stronger, he will definitely not like the life of stripping the life stone in the material tower every day and gaining the life of life?

Shen Qianqiu is very confused now, because he doesn't know why he became stronger, because he joined the Tower of Babel, if he said that he learned to engrave the soul stone because he wanted to fulfill Ning Lao's last wish, then what did he want in his heart now.

The situation in front of him is even more dangerous than when the domineering attack of the gods is head-on, if it is just to live, then what to do now is undoubtedly to make yourself more dangerous, and the work of the material tower day after day is not more suitable for living?

Shen Qianqiu's eyes gradually lost their brilliance, his pupils were dilated, the soul fluctuations of the whole person slowly stopped, the soul light spots in his body also lost their brightness and dimmed, and there was no soul light in his body, and it became pitch black, only the spiritual power was still running for Shen Qianqiu's thinking.

When the crowd outside the arena saw this scene, they first frowned, then they were surprised, and one person blurted out: "This person can't be dead, right?"

But immediately someone retorted: "Now they are all soul bodies, and when they die, they dissipate their souls, how can they be dead." ”

There was another person next to him who said to the person who retorted: "If you say that you are not dead, then what is the situation now, the whole person has no sense of existence, if I don't see him standing in front of the monument with my own eyes, based on perception alone, can you feel that there is a person there?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone did not continue to speak, this person is right, if a person cannot be perceived by others, it is no different from death, Shen Qianqiu, who originally amazed everyone with a few swords to break through the Mingzhi Monument, is now like a stone monument, no, not even a stone monument, like a tangible void, standing in front of the stone monument.

Ling Baizhi and Wei Luyao have already stepped through the twentieth steps at this time, in no particular order, if the stone steps in front of them are just under water, they will feel resistance, but it is not obvious, then they are now in the deep sea, and there is constant pressure on the two of them.

The two of them involuntarily released their own aura to relieve the pressure, and at the same time they released themselves, they also felt the aura of the other party, and the two of them invariably controlled the sword qi and sword qi to attack each other, but in this way, the pressure on the two was greater, not only to face the pressure of the surrounding attack, but also to deal with the aura of others, the two of them did not take a new step together, but stood on the twentieth floor, concentrating on this confrontation.

With the passage of time, after gradually adapting to this pressure, the two did not move forward, but put their minds more on confrontation, neither of them refused to take a step back, and they were stalemate here, this stalemate consumed the spirit very quickly, and the two soon felt that the limit was approaching, and it was a little difficult to resist the pressure at this time, Wei Luyao glanced at Ling Baizhi, took the initiative to withdraw his breath, and retreated to the nineteenth floor in one step.

The agreement is ninety layers, there is no need for temporary benefits, Wei Luyao retreated down the stone steps step by step, until he got down the stone steps, the whole person's spirit was relaxed, as if he had received a baptism, Wei Luyao's eyes suddenly lit up, it turned out that this stone step still has this function, the promotion of the sword, life is secondary, Wei Luyao believes in his own talent, Babel Tower will not be stingy, but the swordsman-level essence of the sword qi has very high requirements for spiritual power, and at this time you can hone your spiritual power, which is simply a great benefit.

At this time, Ling Baizhi also retreated from the stone steps, with joy in his eyes, it was obvious that he also felt this benefit, after all, Ling Baizhi was the one who surpassed Wei Luyao in terms of weapon talent, and while feeling this benefit, he suddenly found that Shen Qianqiu had disappeared, there was no figure of Shen Qianqiu on the stone steps, and there was no figure of Shen Qianqiu in his field of vision, so where did Shen Qianqiu go?

Wei Luyao said at this time: "Ling Baizhi, look at the Mingzhi Monument. ”

When Ling Baizhi heard this, he was stunned, Shen Qianqiu, who was so far away from him, didn't he actually perceive it? Then he observed Shen Qianqiu, found something wrong, frowned slightly, and asked Wei Luyao, "What's going on?"

Wei Luyao shook his head first, then walked to Shen Qianqiu's side, stretched out his hand to touch Shen Qianqiu, at this moment Ling Baizhi suddenly took out his sword, Xingfan's hand style was almost enough to stab Wei Luyao's hand, Wei Luyao was shocked, jumped back, pulled out a long knife and pointed at Ling Baizhi, but found that Ling Baizhi did not continue to pursue him.

Xingfanwei Lu Yao knew it, and after starting his hand, the stronger he became, it seemed that Ling Baizhi's original intention was not to attack himself, so he inserted the knife into the scabbard, walked towards Ling Baizhi, and asked, "Ling Baizhi, what did you find?"

Ling Baizhi frowned, beckoned to Wei Lu Yao, and motioned for Wei Lu Yao to come over, the two of them stood still beside Shen Qianqiu, Ling Baizhi pulled out his long sword and slowly stabbed at Shen Qianqiu, just when the tip of the sword was about to stab Shen Qianqiu's body, the tip of the sword disappeared out of thin air, and as Ling Baizhi stabbed the more sword tips forward, the more parts disappeared, Ling Baizhi took back the long sword again, and found that the sword body was actually intact.

Ling Baizhi only spoke at this time: "Shen Qianqiu doesn't seem to be in this space now, his swordsmanship is the core of his power is space power, I don't know much about this power, I don't know what happened, this matter, the two of us can't participate, let it develop freely is the best choice"

Wei Lu Yao nodded when he heard this, and left the stele with Ling Baizhi, finding a vacant place to recover his spiritual power and prepare for the next time he climbed the stairs, although Wei Lu Yao and Ling Baizhi have always been discordant internally, but they are both owners of immortal-level talents, and they unconsciously regard the other two as people in the same camp, and subconsciously want to help Shen Qianqiu if they can make a move, but in this situation, both of them have no talent for space power, so they have no way to participate, and they can only give up.
