Walking to the side of the stone steps, I don't know if it was because I already knew that there was a step keeper here, or something else, the last time Ah Fei climbed the ninth step, he didn't notice the figure at all, although there was still no trace in the line of sight at this time, he faintly felt a faint breath beside the steps.

Abu bowed, "Tiepai disciple Abu, today is full of five condensations, seeking to ascend to the ninth step." ”

The figure next to the stone steps slowly appeared.

The inconspicuous breath gradually thickened, ethereal to the point of being elusive, but there was a kind of heaviness that overwhelmed a thousand pounds.

Elder Yu, the old man who described the withered tree, took out a thing from behind him and handed it to Abu, while saying, "The breath is disordered, don't hold it hard." Don't try to climb the hundredth step. ”

Ab answered with a "yes" and took it with both hands. The thing rolled slightly in the palm of his hand, but it was a stone ball.

"Climb the ninety-ninth step and throw this ball into the cloud hole to pass." After Elder Yu finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, and the aura on his body slowly faded away, gradually tending to nothing. The whole person is obviously next to the steps, but it makes people feel that there is no one next to the steps.

Ab turned and walked to the stone steps and looked up.

The ninety-ninth step didn't look very high, similar to the cliff that Abu had when he was fighting for the top of the newcomer area. The steepness of the cliff, Ali's stumbling and falling, inserting his hand into the rock crevice, enduring the pain of grinding the skin and bones, and finally the joy of climbing to the top of the cliff are still vivid. It's just that to Abu today, that cliff is nothing. On the contrary, the long stone steps in front of me, which stretch upwards like a staircase and seem to be able to climb the mountain and take in the scenery, have become a threshold that must be crossed on the way of Abden. Abu looked closely, but he couldn't see the slightest hint of danger. Thinking back to the strange feeling he felt when Ah Fei ascended the first order that day, despite Li Rui's previous enlightenment, he still couldn't help but feel a pressure in his heart.

Abu managed to calm his mood and took the first step lightly, with some trepidation.

The soles of the shoes landed on the first stone steps, kicking up some fine dust. The dust fell gently, and Abu's feet were firmly on the first stone steps.

Nothing happened.

Abu looked at his feet with some suspicion, and wondered, could it be that there is no mechanism in this first order, and the powerful one is actually above?

But Ah Fei obviously looked very strange as soon as he stepped on the first order.

After waiting for a while, seeing that there was still no movement on the first step, he took another step with doubts.

Or nothing happened.

So one step further

Still as good as ever.

Abu is really confused by the second monk now.

What's going on?

Something went wrong with the ninth step?!

Not to mention that Abu was confused, at this time, Elder Yu, who was guarding the stone steps, was also very surprised.

He has been in charge of the Ninth Order of Step for decades, and he is opposite to the Ninth Order of Step, and his breath is in harmony, and he has integrated the characteristics of the Ninth Order of Step into his own martial arts, and his understanding of the Ninth Order of Step is not thorough. Although he couldn't reach the point of predicting the ninth order, as long as the ninth order breath was together, he could immediately reflect what would happen next. Based on this almost natural perception of the Ninth Order, he was one of the few people in the palace who were most likely to challenge the position of the Great Elder, but due to the limitations of his qualifications, he was unable to do so. But even so, as long as he relied on the ninth order, he was confident that even if the Great Elder came, he would have to have a headache of three points. Because the ninth step is his invisible weapon.

In his experience, it is true that there are occasional people who climb a certain step and nothing happens. But even the third step and the ninth step did not have the slightest reaction, which was simply unheard of for him. If it weren't for the fact that reason was still restraining him, he would almost suspect that the Ninth Order of Step had lost its effectiveness.

What is this disciple's name?

Abu?

He began to recall.

Ab looked at his feet, and then looked up, not knowing what kind of mystery he was doing. If the so-called step ninth order is what it is now, not to mention the ninety-nine steps of Ning Five, it is the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps of Ning Seven, and even as long as you are willing to spend a little more time, it is not a problem for the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps to reach the top, wouldn't it be possible to mix with a gold medal elder casually to do it?! At that time, I wonder if the palace will admit that this is the first great elder in history who has not even been full of Ning Jiu?

Abu laughed to himself.

I knew in my heart that my thoughts were a bit nonsense.

But what the hell is going on now?!

He took another step in a daze.

His feet slipped suddenly, as if someone was waiting for him to step on the stone steps, and at the moment when he fell, he gently pushed him.

Abu's mind was full of cranky thoughts at this time, how could he have thought that there would be such a thing? Suddenly, the whole person fell out of the stone steps.

It was too late, it was too soon, and Ab woke up in horror, and his right foot, which had just been lifted from the third step, reversely exerted force, and stepped back on the third stone step with a clatter. The breath in his body flowed, pulling and leading, and he stopped the sliding momentum of his left foot and stepped heavily on the fourth step. With a sound of stepping on the ground, the soles of the shoes fell on the stone steps, and the force that had taken advantage of the gap suddenly disappeared without a trace. The place under his feet has shifted outward by two inches, and the posture of the whole person looks extremely strange.

The three people under the mountain saw that he was walking well, but when he suddenly had such an incident, they all secretly pinched a cold sweat for him, and when they saw that he was fine, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Abu was afraid for a while. Knowing that the first three orders were too easy, he relaxed his spirit and lost his vigilance. If the right talent doesn't see the opportunity quickly, he will be very ugly.

Abu didn't dare to be careless anymore, and cautiously stepped on the fourth step with his other foot - landing safely.

After settling down, Abu stepped towards the fifth order again. There was a sudden weight under his feet, and the soles of his shoes fell on the stone steps with a thud, and they were firmly sucked in as if they were being attracted by a magnet. Ben's other foot on the fourth order suddenly floated. The center of gravity of the whole person was unstable and rushed forward. Abu took advantage of the situation to lift his other foot to the fifth order, and the true qi forcibly reversed, stopping the forward fall.

After taking a few more steps like this, Abu realized that when Ah Fei ascended the ninth step, what Li Rui said was "different".

This step of the ninth step is like a person, constantly attacking the feet of the climber. However, each attack is unpredictable, abrupt and strange, making it impossible to guess or respond to it in advance.

But as Li Rui said, as long as Abu does his best, in fact, it is not difficult for him to step to the ninth order. He plays well with light skills, and even if something unexpected happens, he is also adaptable.

For the disciples of the Path of Questioning, even though it was only an attempt, it was still quite difficult to reach the ninety-ninth order, and Abu passed very quickly.

When you don't know anything about something, you will be uneasy and frightened. Now that he knows what the ninth step is, how could Abu be stumped?

He soon ascended the ninety-ninth step.

The only difference between the ninety-nine steps and other stone steps is that there is a small round hole on the inside of the mountain, which must be the cloud cave that Elder Yu said. Abu hesitated, glanced at the hundredth step, and finally resisted the urge to continue ascending, and placed the stone ball into the cloud cave.

The road down the mountain was very smooth, and Abu was cautious all the way, but nothing happened. Presumably, after the stone ball was thrown into the cloud cave, the formation mechanism was lifted.

He descended the mountain to the stone steps and bowed to Elder Yu.

Elder Yu glanced at him, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes, as if he wanted to see him through. The breath that had always seemed to be nothing, when this glance came, suddenly became heavy, and Abu was overwhelmed.

"Ab?"

Under the strong pressure, Ab's vest sweated slightly, and he struggled to straighten his body and nodded.

Elder Yu's hand gently brushed over the stone steps, and a stone ball fell into his palm, which seemed to be the one that Abu had placed in the cloud cave earlier.

Elder Yu rubbed the stone ball, put it back behind him, took out another wooden card, and left a few symbols on the wooden card with a sound from his fingertips, and then handed it to Abu, saying, "Go!" ”

That's it!

Abu squeezed the wooden card in his hand tightly and looked at Ah Yuan with a happy smile on his face.

It's time to draw.
