Dongji Sect, Tianji Nine Palaces -

This is a huge space with almost no light source and no boundary, regardless of up and down, left and right, southeast, northwest, almost all of them are bottomless pitch black, the only thing that radiates light is an ancient gate that seems to be opened in the distant sky, and the ladder that extends down from the gate, I don't know how many steps. And on the top of the ladder made of pure white jade, there is a figure, constantly trekking, although the pace is extremely slow, even from dozens of meters can feel his exhaustion, but from beginning to end, a step has not stopped. I don't know how long he has walked, the almost incalculably long ladder has been nearly three-quarters of the distance he has walked, and all of this is seen by an old man in a gray robe standing in front of the ancient gate.

"The test of the first house of the Nine Palaces of the Heavenly Extreme, faded the battle qi, and climbed the 33,333 steps with a pure physical body under the coercion, in this case, as long as you complete half of the distance, you can already be said to be extremely talented...... This kid actually lasted to three-quarters and didn't stop, maybe, not to mention the others, this perseverance alone is not comparable to ordinary people, it seems that there is a little monster in the generation of the East Pole Sect. ”

Every step taken by Dongfang Xinqiu was seen by this gray-robed old man, although the pace was slow, but every step of Dongfang Xinqiu was extremely steady, and even though he was sweating profusely and physically tired, his breathing was still very steady. Step by step, step by step, he still persistently climbed this journey that seemed unattainable, the gray-robed old man's deep and old eyes flashed a look of appreciation, in the past so many years, the people who can enter the trial in this Heavenly Pole Nine Palaces are not the best disciples of each generation of the East Pole Sect, there is no need to say how brilliant the talent is, but there are very few who can be as tenacious as the Eastern Heart Hatred.

"Smack, smack, smack—"

In the huge, pitch-black space, only the heavy steps of Dongfang Xinqiu echoed, and I don't know how long this monotonous pace lasted, neither the gray-robed old man nor Dongfang Xinqiu himself cared about this matter, maybe it was the time of a stick of incense, or maybe it was a few hours, or even a few days. However, the sound of this long and monotonous step that made people feel suffocated finally came to an abrupt end, dragging his tired body, Dongfang Xinqiu stepped on the last, thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three steps, and the moment he stepped on the last ladder, the long ladder of light behind him also turned into powder in an instant, as if it had never existed.

It was at this time that a white light seemed to fall on his body from the sky, and he felt that his originally extremely tired body quickly recovered, and the restricted battle qi was successfully unsealed, and that white light seemed to have a magical power, automatically guiding his battle qi towards the shackles in the dantian. With a crisp sound of "bang", the shackles were also broken away, and the cultivation of the Eastern Heart Vengeance also entered the seventh-stage battle guard with this crisp sound, not only that, but the white light was still guiding the battle qi to continue to climb after breaking through the shackles, and it was not until the peak of the seven-stage battle guard that it could not be stopped.

The white light dissipated, Dongfang Xinqiu slowly opened his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the gray-robed old man standing in front of him, wearing an ordinary gray robe, with gray sideburns, looking just an ordinary old man. But Dongfang Xinqiu didn't dare to underestimate the old man in front of him, this is a forbidden place in the East Pole Sect that must not be known to outsiders, and those who can appear here must not be ordinary people.

"The younger generation has a grudge in the East, and I have seen the seniors. ”

"In fact, you only need to walk half of the test in the first house to be considered passed, but you have completed all the 33,333 steps...... Very good, the gate of the second house is right in front of you, go to your next test on your own. ”

At this moment, more than 100 miles outside the city—

Xiangcheng can be said to be the most prosperous commercial city in the East Pole Domain in addition to the East Pole City, similarly, Xiangcheng is located in the central hinterland of the East Pole Domain, and its traffic can be developed almost all over any city in the East Pole Region, and all major roads are inevitably large and small business travel, therefore, there are also many inns along the road for these tourists to rest, Ye Chaoxiao and Lou Yuqing are in such a storefront. When night fell, Ye Chaoxiao came to the door of Lou Yuqing's room with a wooden box containing dinner, and said while knocking on the door:

"Deputy squad leader, I brought you your dinner. ”

Although both of them had already entered the inner courtyard, Ye Chaoxiao was still used to calling Lou Yuqing the deputy squad leader, and Lou Yuqing didn't care about such a thing. Since coming out of Xiang Tianzheng, Lou Yuqing, who was already a little lonely, seemed to have become more withdrawn, locking herself in her room and not coming out for several days, even eating was Ye Chaoxiao packed the food and sent it to her room. Because they had valuable treasures in their bodies, it was inconvenient for others to discover their identities, so Ye Chaoxiao and Lou Yuqing simply disguised themselves as servants and young ladies, so such a seemingly strange behavior did not attract the attention of others.

"The door is not closed, come in. ”

Lou Yuqing's cold voice came from the room, Ye Chaoxiao took the opportunity to push open the door, put the wooden box in his hand on the table in the room, and was about to turn around to leave, but was stopped by Lou Yuqing, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed:

"Seniors, haven't you come here yet?"

"Senior Ling and Senior Xiao still don't know...... According to the agreed time, Brother Bai should have arrived today, maybe later. ”

Ye Chaoxiao said in a deep voice, his expression was very solemn, several days had passed since the end of Xiangcheng's auction, but he didn't know why, whether it was Ling Xiaozhi, Xiao Yihan or Bai Yanruo, they all had their own things to be busy with. So Bai Yanruo simply asked Ye Chaoxiao and Lou Yuqing to set off first, and booked a room in advance at the inn halfway through, and asked them to wait for them to meet in the inn, but a few days have passed, neither Ling Xiaozhi, Xiao Yihan, nor Bai Yanruo have appeared. Of course, compared to Ling Xiaozhi and Xiao Yihan, who had no news at all, the slightly better one was Bai Yanruo, according to him, he would arrive here later today.

"Is that so, or not...... Ye Chaoxiao, protect the Dharma for me tonight......"

"Deputy squad leader, you are ......"

Hearing Lou Yuqing's words, Ye Chaoxiao was slightly stunned, then his eyes widened, and he reacted instantly, Lou Yuqing in front of him still slowly closed his eyes, and the battle qi in his body began to mobilize, and he entered a state of self-operation, and Lou Yuqing's body was also covered with a faint layer of water vapor, which looked even very vague and dreamy, Ye Chaoxiao knew very well that this was not an ordinary cultivation state, but a posture that only had to break through major levels. Long before they set off, Lou Yuqing's cultivation had already reached the peak level of the nine-stage warrior, and he was only one step away from the advanced warrior, it was just an opportunity, it was obvious that Lou Yuqing was just suppressing his own cultivation a few days ago, and after confirming that Bai Yan would meet them tonight, he decided to seize this opportunity and sprint towards a higher realm.

Lou Yuqing wanted to break through the battle division, Ye Chaoxiao naturally wouldn't watch from the side, they hurriedly closed the door of the room with their backhands, locked it, and then took out a yellowed talisman from their arms and pasted it at the door, and suddenly a burst of earthy yellow light spread out for a hundred years, wrapping the entire room tightly. This talisman was given to him by Bai Yan Ruo before they left, and it had the effect of isolating the breath, although the price was not high, but it was enough to isolate the momentum of Lou Yuqing's breakthrough. After all, the breakthrough itself is not a trivial matter, let alone this kind of cross-border breakthrough, and there must be no outsiders to disturb it.

After doing all this, Ye Chaoxiao sat on the stool in Lou Yuqing's room, his eyes closed slightly, and secretly spread the soul power, after advancing the fighter, Ye Chaoxiao's perception of soul power was even more exquisite, both the perception range and the details had been greatly improved compared to the original, in less than a moment, this inn was almost all in the scope of Ye Chaoxiao's perception, it is no exaggeration to say that every grass and tree in this inn, every move can not escape Ye Chaoxiao's detection. After confirming the safety of this vicinity, Ye Chaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Lou Yuqing, who was running the battle qi and was ready to break through at any time, Ye Chaoxiao remembered something again, took out a storage ring engraved with the family emblem of the Dongfang family from his arms, and took out a scroll from it, which was the treasure that Xuanyi later handed over to him, and he had already seen at the auction-
