Chapter 114: Tongtian Mountain
A few days later, at the foot of the Heavenly Mountain.
Under the giant peak tens of thousands of zhang high, the water surrounds the mountains and forests, the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, located in the center of the shadowless world, looking from afar like Optimus Prime to support this piece of heaven and earth, looking up to the sky, the appearance and color can no longer be seen clearly on the top of the mountain,
It's just white.
A staircase dozens of zhang long and one foot wide rises from the foot of the mountain to the sky, with no end in sight. Several figures walked thousands of steps on the top of the stairs, but they were already a little out of breath, and some people sat on the stairs, resting with their eyes closed.
"Why are there only so many people? Doesn't it mean that there are many people at the foot of the mountain?" Ye Qing looked at the few people on the stairs strangely, how did he look different from what he had heard.
"You're new here, right?" After hearing this, a tired young man next to him who sighed and retreated down the stairs instantly guessed that Ye Qing must have just arrived at the foot of this mountain.
At this time, it has been a week since Mo Ye was killed in the ring, and this week, Ye Qing did not go to the ring again, or accept challenges from others, and did not even go to the martial arts arena, but spent a week in the rest area.
However, Ye Qing is not wasted these days, at least he used a small amount of elixir here, and he exchanged for a large number of precious martial arts cheats, although the level is not very high, but it is more than enough to cultivate to the king level, especially a large number of martial arts, which enriches Ye Qing's martial arts reserves, and even after he goes out, he can also give it to his subordinates to use, although it is said that there is no need for too complex martial arts in the army, but it is always good to master more.
In a week's time, the core area of the Tower of Babel had already been opened, and on the first day of opening, Ye Qing heard that there were no less than 10,000 people entering it, and there were a large number of martial artists who were working hard in the ring, hoping to be able to gather enough points and enter there.
On the second day after the core area of the Tower of Babel opened, Ye Qing officially entered here. At this time, Ye Qing was in the central area of the Tower of Babel, that is, at the foot of the Babel Mountain, because his target Staircase to Babel was on this mountain.
Ye Qing didn't know much about Tongtian Mountain, and when he saw the young man talking, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, and asked, "Your Excellency, let me inquire, didn't you say that there are many people at the foot of Tongtian Mountain? Why are there only so many?"
It doesn't matter if you don't have face, it's better to pretend to be tender and ask for some news.
"Hmph... Isn't it impossible to go up?" The young man glanced back at the ladder that reached the sky, his eyes were full of loss, and he turned to look at Ye Qing's ignorant expression, and he felt a little helpless and disdainful in his heart, as if even if he couldn't go up, so many people couldn't go up.
"Can't go up?"
"There is a law on this ladder to heaven, every time you climb a certain distance, you feel the pressure that increases several times, and every hundred steps is a small level. According to the standard of Tongda Pagoda, all the Hou rank and below can only cultivate below the first level of the hundred steps, and it is impossible to cross the hundred stone steps! To reach the peak of the king rank, at most climb one step of the previous step, and then you can't go up! If you can become an emperor, maybe the situation will be better, it is estimated that you can climb ten thousand steps, but no emperor-level powerhouse has ever said how many steps he can climb. The young man looked at Ye Qing.
"Here, it's okay to fly somewhere else, but flying on the stone steps is not allowed, you have to walk up the stone steps step by step, I think with your strength, I'm afraid it's just a hundred steps." After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Ye Qing anymore.
"Can't you go up? 100 steps, how do you know if you don't try......"
The young man's words did not bring any pressure to Ye Qing, for Ye Qing, he had to try his best to get to the foot of the ladder to the sky, this was the only way he knew to leave this space.
Tie his trouser legs tightly, Ye Qing looked at the stairs eagerly, and the muscles hidden under the robe seemed to be trembling together.
Ye Qing tentatively stepped up the stairs.
Immediately, invisible pressure overwhelmingly squeezed from all parts of the stairs, and a strong resistance appeared in the step back, stopping the steps of the climber.
Sure enough, he guessed correctly, Ye Qing stepped out again, and saw that the ladder climber's face became more distorted and hideous with every step he took forward, as if something was squeezing his cheeks, and when he took a step back, his face seemed to be relaxed.
It seems that this ladder is a test of the climber's perseverance and tenacity, without superhuman physical and mental strength, to climb this ladder under this pressure, but it is a difficult and difficult thing.
The first hundred steps were not difficult for Ye Qing at all, and even, after climbing the hundred steps, Ye Qing didn't even sweat a little on his body, and his breath was very even, just like after a walk.
Looking at the other people who climbed the ladder to heaven nearby, although they were still struggling to persevere, it didn't take long, but the one was not mixed with sweat, and then rolled down one by one, wetting the clothes on the body and discarding the concubine, it was like fishing out of the water.
As for the breath, let alone keeping it even, there are very few people who can breathe without their mouths now, just like an ordinary dog running for three thousand meters, and there is no arrogance at all on weekdays.
Climb a hundred steps, there is a huge platform on it, so big that it is no problem to put a few Ye Qing's lord's mansions at will. Further up, there is a path that stretches.
The path is lined with lush woods on one side and a beautiful lake on the other.
Except for the stone steps, there are no laws and prohibitions on the platform, and there is no big difference from the ground, so it should be regarded as a place for warriors who climb the stone steps to rest.
Ye Qing didn't stay on the rest platform of the hundredth step for long, but directly wanted to climb up directly.
Just as Ye Qing was about to step on the one hundred and one steps on the ground, a yin voice sounded in Ye Qing's ears, "Boy, you have a little ability, but I underestimate you." ”
Ye Qing turned his head to look, but saw that the young man who was answering Ye Qing's question below just now was not far behind him, and he also looked relaxed, obviously not using all his strength.
"You're not bad with each other. Ye Qing said casually.
Hearing Ye Qing's casual tone, the young man snorted coldly, "Look at how long you are arrogant." ”
After a hundred steps, the number of warriors decreased considerably, and some warriors lingered here, advancing slowly.
Although Ye Qing discovered this abnormality, he did not slow down, and still swept towards the mountain gate at a uniform speed.
"Rush hard, I'll wait to see you get deflated. The young man cursed in his heart, the pressure after a hundred steps is not comparable to the previous point, if you are not careful, you will suffer a dark loss, although with Lin Ming's strength, it will not fail, but it is good to make him make a fool of himself.
The surrounding martial artists saw Lin Ming rampage to the one hundred and one steps, and they also gloated, "This kid doesn't know that there's something weird there." ”
"Even if a senior king-level martial artist wants to go over, he must be fully prepared, otherwise he will be caught off guard. ”
People use their spiritual power to transmit voices and discuss, in order to balance the unhappiness in their hearts after being surpassed.
Ye Qing stepped over the middle of the one hundred and one steps, he had already noticed that something was wrong here, Ye Qing had observed before, when most of the martial artists came here, they also stayed for a few breaths, and did not rush through in one breath.
It turned out that the pressure of this one hundred and one steps was really much stronger than the previous one hundred steps, if it was under the ordinary king rank, I am afraid that the moment he stepped here, he would be squeezed into serious injuries, even a king-level martial artist, if he was not prepared, he would also suffer a little minor injury.
However, this was not a problem for Ye Qing, not to mention anything else, the strength of his physical body at that time was not comparable to that of ordinary kings, not to mention that he had been prepared for too long before this.
On the way, I met one by one the king-level martial artists who came to the heavenly ladder to try, and they all sat helplessly on the stone steps, I am afraid that they have suffered a secret loss here, and if they want to go up again, they have already lost the battle psychologically.
It just so happens that you can use the coercion of the Heavenly Ladder to cultivate on this ladder of heaven, and no one will do anything on it anyway, of course, not to mention how noble the people who come here are.
At first, there were people who had just come a few days and some people fought on the ladder, but after the fight, after the excessive loss of qi and blood, they were directly crushed by the invisible pressure on the ladder like a puddle of mud, and disappeared directly into this ladder through the sky, since then few people dare to fight on this ladder, but there is also a very strange thing, the stronger the strength, the greater the pressure it seems to face.
Lifting again and again, falling again and again, the pressure on Ye Qing's body has increased a lot, although he can still maintain a uniform speed, but small beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead. Although it was very small, Ye Qing could still feel it.
When he went up to more than eight hundred steps, there were no other martial artists on the stairs in front of Ye Qing and beside him, after all, this was only three days after opening the tower, and most powerful martial artists would not choose to come to this ladder first, because although it was helpful for cultivation, there were no treasures.
One hundred steps is a watershed, basically, those with average talent are screened down, and when it comes to five hundred steps, it is basically another watershed, sieving down people with average strength, there are at least nearly a thousand people who come to the ladder of Tongtian today, but there are less than 100 people who can climb and complete the 100 ladders and those who can climb 500 steps, except for Ye Qing, there is no one, which shows how heavy the pressure of this ladder is, although as long as a certain amount of time is given, there are still people who can climb here.
Stepping on the thousandth and first step of the stairs, Ye Qing's feet sank suddenly, and there was an extra shallow footprint on the ground, and the bones at this time seemed to be pressed and rubbed, even if it was an ordinary emperor, in the face of such pressure, it was estimated that it would not be much better.
