The secret realm of the canopy is dark.

At first glance, it looks like a sky without stars, but instead of being empty, there are nine paths, or nine stairs with nine steps each.

If this dark place is compared to an open umbrella, then they are equivalent to nine different umbrella surfaces supported by nine brackets, and as long as you keep walking upward, you can lead to the highest umbrella top, and at the top of this umbrella, there is an altar on which are placed two beads, one black and one white, and a bronze mirror.

But in addition, there are five people standing on the first, third, fifth, seventh, and ninth paths here, but two of them have been reduced to stones on the third step of the first, and the fifth heavenly eons of the third, as if they had lost their breath of life.

There is no suspense, these five people are Hong Xuanzi and others who came in in advance.

At this moment, on the fourth step of the fifth road, the woman in white named Nie Xiaoqian was holding a white pot with some kind of power fluctuation, as if she was standing here with great difficulty.

It took her five years to walk from the first step to the second step, another twenty years to the third step, and then to the fourth step, and she spent thirty years, but she stopped there, and she didn't take another step from here until now.

Even better than her is Hong Xuanzi, he has already reached the fifth step, and even looks like he has reached the sixth heavenly tribulation, and as for Nangong Yin'er, who was brought by them, he has always been on the first step.

Of course, this is not because Nangong Yin'er doesn't want to go, but because Nangong Yin'er can't go, she feels that she must take a step by herself, then she will die here, just like the middle-aged scribes and junkies on the first and third steps, completely turned into stones.

"Caichen, it seems that we were careless, we originally thought that the secret realm set up by the master would be particularly complicated, but I didn't expect that it would be as simple as that!" Nie Xiaoqian seemed to be resisting something, gritted her teeth, and couldn't help sighing.

"No problem! You have a Yin Pot, and with the cultivation of your sublimator, even if you can't complete this path, you can still ensure your safety, and after all these years, I have also realized that as long as one person reaches the end and gets the things on the altar, all of this will be over...... Trust me, I'll do it all! Hong Xuanzi muttered softly.

Hong Xuanzi and Nie Xiaoqian were different from the middle-aged scribe and the big man at the jung, they were originally one of the ten kings of the ghost world, the Huangquan Venerable of the Huangquan Realm, and the Yin Empress of the Yin Demon Swamp, so their strength was definitely much higher.

Especially as the Red Xuanzi of the Huangquan Venerable, if it weren't for the Soul Soul Son who gave him a curse when he snatched the Huangquan River Diagram, which made his strength drop a lot, he would definitely not only go to the fifth step, maybe he might really go to the end.

As she spoke, Nie Xiaoqian turned her gaze to Nangong Yin'er on the ninth floor, and she couldn't help but sigh: "It's just a pity for this junior, originally I thought that she was soft in her bones, and she should be a good seedling who practiced my exercises, so I thought that when this trip to the Heavenly Secret Realm was over, I would bring her back to the ghost world, but I didn't expect that the world would be unpredictable!" ”

"It's a pity, but these things are not for you and me to decide, let's put our minds here!" After finishing speaking, Hong Xuanzi's eyes flashed, and he resolutely stepped forward, and one foot was placed on the sixth step, but at the same time, countless ghost qi erupted from his body, and a huge skeleton about three meters high was suddenly formed.

Immediately after, he controlled the skeleton, and without hesitation, he stepped forward, this step, the steps he was on shook, but it was not broken, but with this shock, a young man wearing an earthen robe and looking exactly like Wang Lin immediately transformed from the darkness and blocked the eyes of Hong Xuanzi and the skeleton.

"The doppelganger of the deity, take me up, and you can climb the sixth step without dying!" After speaking, the earth-robed Wang Lin stepped forward, then waved his hand, and in an instant, a piece of soil appeared, and then rushed towards Hong Xuanzi without pause.

It's just that although this soil is not big when it is revealed, the closer it gets, the larger its volume becomes, until in the end, it actually becomes a continent alive, and it is terrifying to crash towards Hongxuanzi!

But Hong Xuanzi was indomitable, just crazy on his face, and drank decisively: "I have broken through the four clones of gold, wood, water and fire, and you want to stop me, this is impossible, Fang Tian skeleton, devour!" ”

With a loud roar, Hong Xuanzi's eyes opened, and then the huge skeleton also roared, but then, layers of ghost qi spread directly from its body, and with a lightning speed, the earth-colored continent was immediately enveloped.

In just an instant, the huge skeleton opened its huge mouth, sucked hard, and suddenly swallowed those ghost qi along with the continent into its mouth, but the greed was not enough to swallow the elephant, and the skeleton wanted to swallow a piece of the continent, which was obviously a little worse, so soon, its body was too supportive, and there were signs of explosion!

"Humph!" Snorting coldly again, Hong Xuanzi gritted his teeth, but ignored the current situation of the skeleton, but took this opportunity to put away his other foot, and let his legs contact all be lifted to the sixth step.

It was here that the skeleton roared violently, and with a bang, along with the ghost qi inside, it turned into countless white scum, and then with this explosion, the continent seemed to be scattered into countless dirt, and it rushed towards the red Xuanzi again!

"Block!" Seeing this scene, Hong Xuanzi revealed a trace of solemnity, and then ran all the cultivation in his body, turning into a thick barrier, as if he wanted to fight with those soils.

Suddenly, the roaring sound was endless, and countless dirt was like cannonballs, producing a huge power, and when it hit the barrier, it made the red Xuanzi who maintained the barrier show a trace of ruddy on his face, but this soil did not end the offensive easily, but really lasted for half an hour!

In this half an hour, Hong Xuanzi changed from the initial ruddy to pale, and even spit out more than a dozen mouthfuls of black blood, Nie Xiaoqian, who saw the surroundings, felt a pain in her heart, but she had no way to help Hong Xuanzi, because once she walked up her own steps, she would definitely not be able to interfere with others.

Until the end, Hong Xuanzi still survived, but his aura dropped to the extreme, as if he was one step away from death, but Nie Xiaoqian, who saw this situation, was relieved in his heart.

Because she knew very well that this place would judge a person's life, and if it really reached the point of death, there would be a gray wind in this place, turning the person into stones, just like the two people on the first and third steps, so the gray wind did not appear, and he was relieved.

At this time, Hong Xuanzi was lying on the sixth step, coughing dryly, and black blood kept flowing out, but he laughed: "Great, after more than forty years, I finally stepped on this sixth layer, soon, soon......"

And in this regard, Nie Xiaoqian also showed a hint of relief.

In addition, Nangong Yin'er, who was also watching all this on the ninth road, also showed a hint of hope in her eyes, but more of it was despair, she had been here for more than a hundred years, she had long been accustomed to loneliness, if it weren't for the fact that she still had a wish in her heart, she would have destroyed herself!

But she looked at Hong Xuanzi, who was most likely to leave here, and it actually took more than a hundred years to reach the sixth layer, and she knew one thing, that is, when Hong Xuanzi reached the end, maybe she would die here because of the severance of Shouyuan.

"That's it! Maybe that's fate! Thinking about it, she sighed, and then touched her cheek, where it was, a trace of wrinkles, already silent, derived.

However, just when Hong Xuanzi laughed, just when Nie Xiaoqian was relieved, and just when Nangong Yin'er accepted her fate, the entire dark space suddenly began to roar, which made them suddenly shocked.

"What's going on?" Hong Xuanzi was suspicious, and the other two also showed a hint of surprise.

But then, their surprise and doubts disappeared, because in the next breath, they understood one thing, and that was two hundred years...... It's here!
