Chapter 155: Ladder to Heaven
Standing at the bottom of the main peak, looking at the many figures ascending to the top of the mountain, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time had some expectations in his heart. I was unlucky to encounter that cave before, but this will definitely not be the test arranged by the teacher who killed a thousand knives, so there will be something to gain.
"Brother Gu, my news is correct, right?" Wan Shixiao said at this time, and his words were not without pride.
"Brother Wan's news will naturally not be wrong!" Lu Meng interjected, it was already the eighth day since the battle that day, and these people were already quite familiar.
"Go up the mountain first!" said Qiangu and walked to the mountain first, not wanting to say more, for the news that everything was known, he never considered whether it was true or false, anyway, he was going to come, but how the other party got the news made him feel a little curious, but he didn't have the heart to ask, the most important thing at the moment was to go up the mountain first.
A few people didn't say much at the moment, their hearts were consistent with the eternal thoughts, and their desire for treasures had reached the point of redness. When a few people arrived at the bottom of the steps, the scene on the steps became clearer.
Eternals walked to the bottom of the steps and did not rush up the mountain, but stopped at the bottom of the steps, and he couldn't help frowning as he looked at the many figures on the steps.
"Brother Gu, why did you stop?" Wan Shixiao was puzzled, but when he looked at the many figures on the steps, he continued: "Why are these people walking so slowly?
"That's right!" Lu Meng said: "So many people are walking slowly on this step, and the steps lead to the top of the mountain, nearly two thousand zhang high, like a ladder, if they all go down like this, it will take the year of the monkey to catch up with the top of the mountain? I'm afraid that the treasures will be robbed by others at that time!"
The eternal thought is also as the two said, not only are there people walking slowly on the steps, but there are also a few people who stop in place at the higher places, and there are still people sitting on the steps at the higher places, and they don't seem to be in a hurry at all. Undoubtedly, it's all a little weird.
"Is this step ......?"
Eternal frowned, the treasure is in front of him, there are few people who are not red-eyed, and now these people are walking unhurriedly, I'm afraid it's not because of other reasons, but because there is a problem with this step itself!
"Let's go!"
Eternal called a few people and stepped on the steps first. As soon as he stepped on it, a pressure was directly pressed, and the flow of qi and blood slowed down for a moment. Although it was only a little slower, he had finally comprehended the realm of the Grandmaster, so he could naturally clearly feel the changes in the flow of qi and blood in his body.
"Sure enough!"
Qiangu nodded secretly in his heart, so he stepped on the second floor, and this time he clearly felt that the pressure from the steps was even greater, and the flow of qi and blood was obviously slowing down.
"Damn, I said why aren't these people in a hurry, it turns out that there is a problem with this step!" Wan Shixiao stepped on the second step, and also felt a pressure to suppress his true qi.
The feelings of the three of Lu Meng were not as clear as everything they had come, but they felt that their breathing was a little heavy, after all, their cultivation was a big difference from everything Xiao, and their perception could not be compared with the eternals. And when they stepped onto the third step, they finally felt the pressure from the steps.
"I know that there is a kind of stone that can suppress a person's body, is this step also made of that kind of stone?" He Dong looked at the bluestone steps and said, "I clearly remember that kind of stone is black, shouldn't it?"
"This shouldn't be a step made of 'Black Rock'!"
Eternal remembered what the fat man said when he first entered the Great Wilderness Mansion, and most of the warriors' cities were built with "black rocks". On the one hand, the "Black Rock" is extremely hard, and ordinary demon beasts cannot break through it, guarding the people in the city, and on the other hand, the pressure of the "Black Rock" is beneficial to the cultivation of martial artists. And this staircase is clearly not made of "black rock".
"Is it another stone?"
The fat man suddenly slapped his head at this time, and shouted: "I remember, this step is indeed made of ordinary mountain stones, but there must be a formation here to suppress the martial artists!"
"How?"
Looking at everything through the ages, looking at the other party like this, most of them knew the problem of this step, and the three of them also moved their eyes to everything.
Wan Shixiao explained: "It's nothing, many ancient sects like to play this trick, and even the Martial God Academy also likes to play this trick." ”
"Most of these steps can have more than 10,000 steps, and in ancient times they were called 'ladders'. It was built underneath the palace mainly to elevate the status of the palace. ”
"Brother Wan, what are you talking about?" Lu Meng looked incredulous, and said: "Is it to build this 'Heavenly Ladder' to improve the status of the palace? But why do we feel a pressure? Just to improve the status of the palace, there is no need for us to suffer at all, right?"
"Hehe, don't worry!"
Wan Shixiao opened his mouth and continued: "The 'Heavenly Ladder' is indeed to enhance the status of the palace. We just felt the pressure of the 'Heavenly Ladder', in fact, there was a forbidden air array above the 'Heavenly Ladder', and the pressure was huge, directly suppressing the strong Martial King and unable to fly in the air. Therefore, the 'Heavenly Ladder' is to prevent the strong from flying in the sky, so as to enhance the status of the palace!"
"I'm afraid it's not all!"
Qiangu shook his head, he naturally knew that the Great Forbidden Sky Array was to prohibit the strong from flying in the sky. In ancient times, the sect laid down the "forbidden sky array" in front of the palace, most of the reason was to prevent those strong people from flying directly to the palace, but to walk towards the palace step by step, which can be regarded as the awe of the palace or the palace owner. However, this "Heavenly Ladder" has little to do with the "Forbidden Sky Great Array", so the real reason is probably not to improve the status of the palace.
"Eternal knows?" Lu Meng asked at this time.
"I don't know, but I do know that the 'Heavenly Ladder' is not directly related to the 'Forbidden Sky Array'. Qiangu shook his head and said, "However, I believe that if we continue to walk, we will find the purpose of building the 'Heavenly Ladder'!"
"I thought you knew!" Lu Meng looked at Wan Shixiao with disdain, and then continued to climb the mountain after Qianegu.
Li Yi looked at Wan Shixiao, who was laughing, and said, "Brother Wan, don't think about it, we are here to find treasures, why waste time on this 'ladder'?"
As soon as Wan Shixiao heard the word "treasure", he hurriedly followed, but he was always thinking about the "ladder" in his heart, and he felt that he must have forgotten something, and those people from the ten thousand families also followed the "ladder".
The Eternal Couple was able to maintain a very fast speed at first, but the pressure from the Heavenly Ladder was getting stronger and stronger, and the operation of the inner body method was obviously slowing down. And the true qi in Lu Meng and He Dong's bodies became more and more difficult to operate, and the speed slowed down, and the same was true for Li Yi, but the two of them could still maintain their original speed.
However, when the five of them climbed the thousandth step, a huge force suddenly struck, pressing Lu Meng and He Dong's bodies short, and they almost couldn't stand steadily, even the eternal and Wanshixiao also clearly felt that the speed of the operation of the mental method was obviously slowed down by one percent, as if the cultivation was directly pressed down by one step!
Lu Meng and He Dong endured the pressure and continued to climb up, but they only walked a few steps, and the two of them really couldn't hold on, Lu Meng waved his hand and said, "Eternal, I really can't climb." This pressure is too much, and it makes people breathless, or you can continue to walk and leave us alone!"
"Brother Qiangu, I really can't hold you back any longer, you go ahead and catch up, you must grab a few treasures!" He Dong also waved his hand, stood in place, and didn't continue to catch up.
Looking at the two of them through the ages, their hearts are more than enough but their strength is insufficient. He really wanted to take the two of them to keep going, but he couldn't help them, they needed to rely on themselves. And he may not be able to reach the top of the mountain, after all, he has only climbed a thousand steps, and there are still nine thousand steps ahead of him to climb.
", I remember!"
Wan Shixiao patted his head again at this time, and finally let him think of it, he said excitedly: "The 'Heavenly Ladder' is indeed not to prevent the strong from flying in the sky, but for another purpose!"
"Brother Wan, pull it down!" Lu Meng raised his hand, and then sat on the steps, he was now almost out of strength to speak, and after a few breaths, he said: "You better leave us alone, hurry up and continue to climb to the top of the mountain, otherwise even the dregs of the treasure will be gone!"
"Hah...... Ha...... Don't worry!"
Wan Shixiao shook his head and laughed, and said, "I'll tell you, except for the four sons and the six of Shuangshu who may climb to the top of the mountain, none of the others want to climb the mountain!"
"Why do you say that?" He Dong looked at Wan Shixiao, who suddenly became nervous, and said, "According to what you say, we can't go up, not even the eternal brothers?"
"This ......"
Wan Shixiao was stunned, he didn't know what to say, he really wanted to say in his heart that he couldn't climb to the top of the mountain for eternity, but he was afraid of hitting others, so he said: "I don't know if Big Brother Gu can climb the mountain, but it is really not easy to pass the 'ladder' smoothly, even the fourth prince and Shuangshu may not be able to reach the top of the mountain!"
"Oh?"
Several people looked at everything in unison, seeing that what he said was like this, most of them did have unknown reasons, so they waited for him to continue talking.
Wan Shixiao continued: "There are 10,000 steps in the 'Heavenly Ladder', and we have walked a thousand steps, and we obviously feel that the pressure has doubled. In fact, these 10,000 steps correspond to the ninth order of the martial artist's cultivation, so almost no one can climb the last thousand steps. And those who can climb up are all geniuses among geniuses!"
"You're not right!" Lu Meng interjected: "Both of us are cultivators of the third order of martial arts, if it is like what you said, we should be able to continue to climb, it is impossible to stop here!"
"That's because your strength is completely inconsistent with your cultivation!" Wan Shixiao said, "Martial artists have already entered the stage of Qi training, so most martial artists have wasted their physical strength. A person's body is like a container, if your body is not strong, no matter how high your cultivation is, you will not be able to exert the strength it should have!"
