Three days later, when Yuan Lai completely eliminated the fatigue he had been suffering from for several days, Xiao Bai finally took him to the breakthrough place.

At this time, Yuan Lai's spirit was extremely full, and his state of mind had reached the most peaceful state.

Wu Danggui did not go with him, but stayed for a day and then left to practice in the thousand mountains.

And said that they will come back again in a month or two, and if they are lucky, maybe the two will be able to see each other again.

According to the old man, Xiao Bai's cave mansion was too leisurely and would wear down his will.

Yuan Lai thought so.

However, the road to the breakthrough was not easy.

Out of Xiao Bai's cave, not far away is the highest peak among the thousand mountains.

And their goal is the top of the mountain.

This is by no means an easy place to reach, even for cultivators, and according to Xiao Bai's requirements, you must not use your vitality to run and jump during the climb, but you must walk up step by step.

The path of cultivation is like mountaineering.

This is also a heavy training of the Dao heart.

Yuan Lai readily agreed, but what made him a little distressed was that although Xiao Bai asked him like this, of course she did not comply with this example.

"I'll go up and wait for you first, remember, you have to walk up on the ground, don't be in a hurry. Standing at the foot of the snowy peak, Xiao Bai said softly, and then stepped on an ancient mountain climbing road that was almost invisible, and flew away.

In just a few dozen breaths, it has already become a white spot in Yuan Lai's eyes.

Yuan Lai looked at it in amazement, and looked at Xiao Bai lightly stopping on a sheltered platform on the mountain, meditating peacefully, and ignored him no longer.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly, and secretly calculated that if he walked to Xiao Bai's position step by step, he was afraid it would take more than half an hour.

"In that case, it would take a few days to climb the mountain. Yuan Lai looked up at the top of the mountain hidden in the sky, and couldn't help but wonder Xiao Bai forcibly asked him to rest until he was full of energy, it turned out that he wanted to use this to resist the hardships of the climbing process.

Yuan Lai took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, and took the first step firmly.

More than half an hour later, when he was about to arrive at Xiao Bai's location, he saw that this woman suddenly opened her eyes, got up gently, and glanced at him faintly like a goddess, and then cast a reluctant look, and then turned around and continued to step on the Dao, and after a while, it became a white spot in the distance again, blending with the surrounding scenery.

"Forehead ......"

Yuan Lai watched her leave again in a daze, couldn't help but smile bitterly again, and continued to climb without saying a word.

This was repeated several times, when the sky was dark, Yuan Lai once again arrived at the position where Xiao Bai was meditating and resting, he thought that she would turn around, but this time Xiao Bai opened his eyes and said, "Let's rest here for the night, and continue tomorrow in the early morning." ”

Yuan Lai nodded, he wanted to dig a place to stay, but found that there was a cave right here.

It looks like it's been a few years.

"Every year people come here in search of a breakthrough, and this is the dwelling that was dug very early, and there are many more such caves until they reach the top of the mountain. ”

Xiao Bai explained softly, and then took the lead to walk to the cave.

The cave is not big, but the depth is more than ten meters, the location is leeward, the inside is very dry, and there is even a reserve of firewood.

Even under Xiao Bai's guidance, Yuan Lai dug out several pieces of frozen meat from the nearby ice and snow.

Apparently this is the food buried here, and with the temperature here, the meat can be kept for a long time.

Pour the vitality into the frozen meat, you can thaw it, there are simple pots and chopsticks in the cave, Yuan Lai lit the fire, and then used the iron pot to hold a lot of snow, turned into snow water to boil, and then cooked the meat.

It's definitely not delicious, but it's good to have a hot meal.

After the two of them finished eating, the night was late, and they didn't pay much attention to sleeping, and they were not afraid of the cold, so they meditated in the cave and slept together.

Soon, the night passed.

The next day's sun lit up the sky early.

Yuan Lai began to repeat yesterday again.

And so, day after day.

No matter how down-to-earth Yuan Lai is, after all, he is a cultivator at the peak of the Three Realms, both physical strength and perseverance are far beyond ordinary people, the higher he walks, the colder the wind and snow become, but the continuous vitality in Yuan Lai's body provides him with enough warmth.

So, a few days later, what seemed like a long road had come to an end.

The cold wind was blowing, Yuan Lai stood on the mountain, and he couldn't see any scenery on the ground down, only a piece of snow white that couldn't even tell the height from the low.

As for the distance, he could only see some short black lines on the edge of the sky, and he knew that it was the edge of a thousand mountains.

Xiao Bai stood beside him, with a hint of tiredness between her eyebrows, that is, she didn't need to exert as much effort as Yuan Lai, but as a woman, her physical strength and energy were still somewhat inferior to Yuan Lai, and she didn't often practice penance, because this mountaineering was not an easy thing for her.

"The place of worship to heaven is just ahead. She took a breath of the thin air from the top of the mountain and said.

This is the closest place on the continent to the stars.

In Qiguo, when it comes to the closest place to the sky, people often think of the Star Picking Tower.

But that's just an exaggeration.

No matter how tall a building is, it can't compare to a mountain.

It's just that, as a man-made pavilion, it is more shocking and amazing than a naturally formed mountain.

"Ahead?" Yuan looked over, a look of doubt on his tired face.

"But there doesn't seem to be anything ahead. ”

He raised questions.

In his mind, since it was a place of worship or ascension built by the ancient cultivators, there should be some shocking buildings, but what appeared in front of him was only a flat mountain top that could be seen at a glance.

There is nothing else at all except ice, snow and stones, and in terms of magnificence, even Xiao Bai's cave mansion cannot be compared.

Such a place, no matter how you look at it, it can't match the names of the ancient altar, the place where the ancient cultivators sacrificed to the heavens, or the place where they ascended to the immortal realm.

Yuan Lai was a little disappointed and a little confused.

Xiao Bai was not surprised, she just said quietly: "It's here, you look a little disappointed?"

"Well, here...... It's a little different from what I imagined. Yuan Lai tried to phrase it as tactfully.

Xiao Bai smiled lightly and said gently: "I don't blame you, in fact, when I first came here, I was also very confused, and I also felt that this place was clearly a flat land, and even ...... It's ugly. ”

Yuan Lai couldn't help but smile slightly.

Xiao Bai also smiled: "But later I learned that this is not the case, in fact, the real location is not just this mountain. ”

She suddenly raised her arm, turned her fingers around the vast space, and said slowly: "Actually, the so-called altar is a huge and ancient magic circle! This magic circle is composed of nearly a hundred snow peaks in the vicinity, and the one under our feet is just the center and eye of the magic circle!"
