Chapter 307: Ladder to the Sky
"Huh? Don't participate in the big competition? It's a shame. β
Shangguan Yan was obviously a little disappointed, but he didn't continue to dwell on the reason why Xiaotian didn't participate, it was clear that he would start fighting when he ascended to the rooftop in less than five or six hours, if he had the heart, he should have come to Yuxu Peak with the sect.
Yang Xiaoqian was also stunned, leaned into Xiaotian's ear and asked in a low voice: "Big rice bucket, you came here on purpose, didn't you just come to visit the scenery of Kunlun Mountain?" Hehe, I know, you must be planning to make conditions with the Tai Chi Gate, such as the follow-up exercises of the heavenly level or something, am I right? β
Xiaotian smiled, and didn't hide it from her, and said: "Well, you are still so smart, but my biggest goal in Kunlun Mountain is to come here to meet a few people, if they don't appear in this kind of scene, then I have to find a way to find it somewhere else." β
"Looking for someone?"
Yang Xiaoqian frowned her delicate eyebrows, but she couldn't think of anyone from the Hidden World Sect that Xiao Tian would know, this is also because the two of them have been in contact for so long, and the ones who have really dealt with each other are Hu Yanzhuo of Shattered Star Mountain and Shangguan Yan in front of him.
While the two were talking, Shangguan Yan pinched his fingerprints and led them into an area with slightly different colors of snow, Xiaotian and Yang Xiaoqian only felt as if they had passed through a tough invisible film, and then disappeared above the snow line of Yuxu Peak.
"Wow, that's spectacular! It's beautiful. β
What appeared in front of everyone was a majestic snow-capped mountain, the top of the cone-shaped mountain seemed to break through the sky and penetrate into the sky, and its whole body of silver ice shimmered in the sun, more like a golden mountain, no wonder Yang Xiaoqian was instantly attracted.
Shangguan Yan said with some pride: "We have now reached the real Kunlun Mountain Jade Void Peak, the two of you can look back and know why Kunlun Mountain is known as the ancestor of the Ten Thousand Mountains of China, this is the source of the real dragon vein." β
Xiao Tian turned his head as he said, and found that the countless ridges in front of him were undulating, like giant dragons winding their bodies. gathered here, and the Yuxu Peak vein was even more handsome and upright, like a dragon king condescending, proud of the dragons. And where everyone stands, it is exactly in the position of the dragon's head.
"The Huaxia Dragon Vein is all due to this, so when there is a great change, the secular authorities are not willing to launch a thing called a nuclear weapon here, in fact, even if they do release it, it is useless. Kunlun Mountain has gathered almost half of the power of the Hidden World Sect, and the background is unfathomable, and it is not a place where they can destroy it if they want to. β
"Well, it does, it's a nice place
Xiao Tian could feel the surging and heavy vitality of the ground under his feet, and breathing a breath of air full of Yuan Force in the air was actually worth cultivating outside for a while, cultivating in such a place was like turning on an accelerator, no wonder they didn't want to go to the worldly red dust where the air was turbid.
"Hey, what's that? Such a long staircase"
Yang Xiaoqian is a Xuan-level wood-based ability. Cheng DΓΉ was not as sensitive to the vitality of heaven and earth as Xiao Tian, but a spacious white jade staircase in the center of the snow-capped mountain that exuded some kind of ancient vicissitudes immediately attracted her attention.
Shangguan Yan looked at the ladder with an excited expression, and his tone became a little fanatical, "That's the ladder to ascend to the sky, a total of 10,800 steps, eight platforms, it is said that if someone can ascend from the lowest step to the highest platform step by step, then this person will definitely be able to achieve the ultimate in martial arts, shatter the void, and become a god in the flesh." β
Yang Xiaoqian asked curiously, "Then have you tried it?" How many steps have you climbed? β
Shangguan Yan's face turned red. A little embarrassed, he said: "I once tried it when I was at the beginning, but I only walked three thousand six hundred steps and couldn't go up alive or dead, it seems that I will be stuck in the realm of the ground level in my life." β
"Huh? Why? β
The other party's answer made Yang Xiaoqian feel even more strange and asked again.
Shangguan Yan sighed. Explained: "There are 10,800 steps on the ladder to the sky, and each 1,200 steps is equipped with a platform, on which are engraved with eight ancient characters: Universe, Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang. β
"Legend has it that as long as a cultivator can climb on which platform, it represents the realm that he can ultimately achieve in the future, so the sect of Kunlun Mountain will take them to the ladder to test when they recruit new disciples every time."
Xiaotian listened. I also felt a little incredible, and asked in surprise, "Is it really that accurate?" β
"Half and half, if nothing else, it's relatively accurate."
Shangguan Yan said with a wry smile: "According to what the elders in the sect said, the number of steps of the ladder to ascend to the sky is only a reference to the potential value of a disciple, and the state of mind, perception and fate of each person are not static. β
"That's amazing, big rice bucket, let's go for a walk, okay?"
Vaguely, Yang Xiaoqian could still see some figures slowly climbing up the ladder, and she couldn't help but feel ready to move, and hurriedly encouraged Xiaotian to try it.
"Try it, just try it, how about it, do you want Shangguan Daoyou to join us."
Xiao Tian was also quite interested in this matter, and turned his head to Shangguan Yan and asked.
Shangguan Yan shook his head, politely rejected this suggestion, and said: "Now there are still a few hours before the time of the Ascending Platform, the two Daoists may wish to give it a try, I must go to the Elder of the Sect to return to the task first, and we will meet on the Ascending Platform later." β
"Okay, see you later."
"Hmph, I don't have the guts."
Seeing that Shangguan Yan would rather rush towards the top of the mountain on the steep ice slope and snow than walk on the ready-made stairs, Xiaotian and Yang Xiaoqian were puzzled, but when they stepped on the first white jade staircase, they finally understood part of the reason.
"It's so heavy all of a sudden, do you feel this way about the big rice bucket?"
Xiao Tian only felt that the Yuan Force of his whole body seemed to be sealed in all parts of the meridians the moment he stepped on the stairs, unable to circulate, and the back of his shoulders and thighs were like wearing a shackle of hundreds of catties, and his body was several times heavier.
"Well, your internal strength has also been temporarily sealed, it looks like we have to go up this 10,800-step ladder to the sky, and we have to rely on the strength of **."
And as the two of them continued to step upward, they found that with each step, the weight of their bodies increased by several kilograms, so if they continued like this, when they ascended to the first platform, wouldn't they be under pressure almost equal to the strength that ordinary people in the Yellow Level Realm could have?
"Hurry up, you're too slow, let's compete to see who gets to the platform first."
A silver bell-like laugh sounded in front of Xiao Tian, and Yang Xiaoqian, who had also reached the Xuan-level ability in his usual state, ran up quickly, obviously not taking this weight in his eyes.
Of course, the weight of hundreds of catties is not a problem for Xiaotian at all, what makes him curious is what else awaits him on the subsequent ladder? And those new disciples, did they also have to bear such pressure from the beginning? (To be continued.) )
