Chapter Forty-Eight: Kicking the Ladder
Xing Yu was surprised because he saw an incredible sight, an object to be exact.
A towering stone staircase, leading to the sky, this is the back mountain of the Dilong Academy, but there is such a huge stone staircase, which is extremely weird.
The stone steps are really high, and compared to the other mountains, it looks like giants and gnomes standing together. It's not that the surrounding mountains are small, but the stone steps are too high, and the whole body is gray-white, and I don't know what kind of stone is made of it. You can't see the gaps, it's natural.
"What is this?"
Xing Yu asked a little sluggishly, I really don't know, why there is a huge stone staircase here, and what is the use?
"Ladder to the sky. ”
Li Qing said calmly.
"What is the ladder for?"
Xing Yu asked curiously.
"There are ninety-nine floors of the ladder, and no one has been able to reach the ninety-ninth floor. ”
Li Qing glanced at Xing Yu, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Why? Can't even a strong man like the vice president?"
Xing Yu looked at the ladder in front of him incredulously, it was just a ninety-nine stone staircase, why could no one reach the top?
"Neither can the vice president. ”
Li Qing gave an affirmative answer, and then continued to explain to Xing Yu: "Climbing the ladder has nothing to do with cultivation, it is completely based on potential, and the higher the potential, the higher the climbing." ”
"That's the test I'm going to face?"
At this time, Xing Yu already understood the so-called second assessment, which is to climb the stone steps in front of him, the higher the potential, the greater the potential.
"That's right, there are three levels of climbing ladders, the third level can be pedaled up to 33 floors, the sixth level can be pedaled up to 66 floors, and the ninth level can be pedaled up to 99 floors. It is said that the ladder to heaven is the passage to the fairy world, as long as you climb the ninety-nine floors, you can step through the sky and go straight through the fairy world. ”
Li Qing's face was solemn, and he became more and more serious while explaining to Xing Yu, and at the same time there was a fiery yearning in his eyes, who doesn't want to break the shackles and become an immortal?
"Ninety-nine floors can become immortals?"
Xing Yu was also shocked when he heard this, you must know that there are no immortals in the world, immortals, they are already legendary existences, at least in the land of Jiuzhou for thousands of years.
But now is an opportunity, ascending to the ninety-ninth floor of the ladder, there is a chance to ascend to the immortal realm.
"That's right, the reason why the Dilong Academy was built here is for the ladder in front of you, an antiquity that has existed for an unknown number of years. According to ancient records, the ladder to heaven was left by six generations of kings, and there may be a legacy left by six generations of kings. ”
Xing Yu was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that the origin of this ladder to heaven was so big, and it was related to the six generations of kings.
"But that's all recorded by some remnants of ancient offerings, as for the truth and falsehood, no one can tell, after all, it's too ancient, don't think about it so much, prepare well, and see where you can go from the first to the thirty-third floor?"
Li Qing restrained his thoughts and glanced at Xing Yu, he also wanted to know what the potential of this young man who was valued by the old wine man was.
"Level 3 monk, what is the highest grade here?"
Xing Yu didn't know much about it, so he asked about other people's records first.
"At present, the first to thirty-third floors, the highest record is in the academy, and it has reached the thirtieth floor. ”
At the mention of this person, Li Qing was also a little envious, that young man was also one of the strongest Tianjiao in the academy, and he had received the resources and treatment that the academy had done.
"Is the thirty floors already the highest?"
Xing Yu knew that it must be difficult to step on the ladder, otherwise no one would have reached the top for so many years, but someone had stepped to the thirtieth floor, which was already very against the sky.
"No, there was another person who stepped to the thirty-second floor a thousand years ago, and he was only one last step away from reaching the thirty-third floor. ”
Li Qingyu was not shocking and endless, which added some pressure to Xing Yu.
"It's a pity, who is he? must be famous, right?"
Xing Yu was indeed very surprised and stressed, it was really a pity that someone really stepped to the thirty-second floor, just one step away.
"That is a boy who shocked the entire Kyushu, a peerless genius that is rare to see in 10,000 years - Xiaoyaozi. ”
Li Qing did not hide it and told the truth.
"Xiaoyaozi. ”
Xing Yu silently remembered this name, known as a peerless genius that is rare to see in 10,000 years, I don't know what kind of character it is?
"You can rest for a while, and I'll help you open the ladder when you're ready. ”
Li Qing didn't urge, he stood aside calmly, and he had really seen a few Tianjiao who had gone against the sky over the years, which alarmed the entire Great Xia Empire.
After about a stick of incense, Xing Yu opened his eyes from his knees, and the rush all the way had been breathed well, and he had returned to his peak state, his eyes were light and restrained.
This is a rare opportunity, once the performance is outstanding, it will attract the attention of the top management of the academy, and there will be abundant resources and rewards at that time, which will definitely be of great help to his future path, so Xing Yu put aside some and is ready to fight against the water, and see how far this mysterious stepping ladder can go?
"Let's get started. ”
Seeing that Xing Yu was ready, Li Qing didn't say much, his hands swiped quickly, and a complex rune appeared between his hands, and he pushed it fiercely towards the opposite ladder.
After doing this with difficulty, Li Qing's face turned pale, and it was obvious that it took a lot of effort to activate the ladder.
As the sigil hit the ladder, there was suddenly a majestic aura that filled the air, like a giant dragon waking up, shocking the nine heavens.
Immediately after that, a dazzling white light appeared, which appeared dazzling even in the daytime, illuminating the entire back mountain.
The white light shone for a moment before gradually converging, and finally formed a pale white glow, surrounding the surface of the ladder, like a thick white mist, obscuring the stone steps inside.
"Go ahead. ”
Li Qing stood aside and instructed Xing Yu.
"Good. ”
Xing Yu took a deep breath, adjusted his state to the peak, and walked towards the ladder step by step.
Before he approached, he felt a strong coercion and rejection, his fists were clenched, Xing Yu did not hesitate, and resolutely took the first step.
Boom......
As Xing Yu stepped out, a bell rang from the ladder, because there was a light entanglement on the surface, and outsiders couldn't see the situation inside, but this bell conveyed the information inside to everyone, and it rang every time he stepped on the floor.
boom
boom
Boom......
In less than a stick of incense, the stepping ladder sounded nine times one after another, which also indicated that Xing Yu had stepped up to the ninth floor and was still rising.
"Listen, the bell is ringing, and someone is kicking the ladder. ”
The bell rang throughout the Dilong Academy, so both the academy and the tutor could hear that someone was kicking the ladder.
"I've reached the ninth floor, I don't know where I'll stop?"
"I don't know who is kicking the ladder at this time, is it those Tianjiao?"
"No, it's supposed to be the new students who are taking the test. But it's not time to select new students yet. ”
"I know, it's the person Mentor Li brought back, it must be. ”
"I don't know how many floors I'll be on......"
Anyone who heard the bell looked at the back hill of the academy, because the ladder was rarely activated, and it was often tested when the academy recruited new colleges, so it suddenly rang at this time, which aroused the interest of many people.
Knock, knock......
At this time, Xing Yu had already stepped onto the fifteenth floor, and the pressure on his body was getting bigger and bigger, as if there was a big mountain pressing on his back, and he was struggling.
"Is this what it's called a test?"
Xing Yu was thinking as he stepped upward.
After being activated, the ladder will produce a prohibition, suppressing the person who is stepping on the ladder, the higher the suppression, the stronger the stronger, every step must be paused, and the pranayama can only take the next step.
boom
boom
Boom......
The bell still reverberates, not as fast as before, but it never stops, indicating that the climber is still rising.
"Have you already reached the twentieth floor?"
"It seems that this person is not simple. ”
"Let's go, go over and see ......"
Originally, the people in the academy didn't feel anything, but they were surprised that someone was suddenly stepping on the ladder, but as the bell kept ringing, many people were no longer calm, and even a large number of people couldn't bear it anymore and rushed to the back mountain.
Boom......
The bell was still ringing, and the people under the ladder were gathering more and more, and they were all curious about where the person who was stepping on the ladder would go.
Xing Yu stood on the stone steps of the twenty-fifth floor, sweat had already appeared, from here, he felt really hard, and it was difficult to raise his head, there were countless stone steps waiting for him, and Xing Yu also knew that from now on, every time he stepped up, his status in the Dilong Academy would be raised by one level.
Wiping the sweat from his face, Xing Yu stepped forward again.
Boom......
Boom......
Boom......
More and more people gathered at the foot of the ladder, most of them were students, and there were also a few middle-aged people, who were talking to Li Qing about something, and obviously even some mentors followed.
At the time of a pillar of incense, the bell rang three more times, which means that Xing Yu stepped on the twenty-eighth floor, which is already a terrifying number, you must know that Li Qing said that the highest record of the academy is only thirty floors.
At this moment, several old men in the attic of the academy also showed shocked expressions, and even the vice president, who had always been calm, also showed an incredible expression.
"Could it be that there is another Tianjiao in the academy?"
An elder said in surprise.
"It's the kid Li Qing brought back, let's go, go over and have a look. ”
The vice president finally couldn't bear it anymore, got up and rushed to the back mountain with the elders.
Boom......
Just when the vice president got up, the bell rang again, and Xing Yu had already stepped to the twenty-ninth floor, just one step away from reaching the highest record.
