Chapter 942: Precursor
"Sima Changqin's purpose is not the Three Realms Immortal Boat, I'm not very worried. But Wu Yu, the queen of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, had to guard against it. She took the initiative to tell me the information about the Three Realms Immortal Boat, and she must have a deeper plan. Yuan Ming pondered for a moment and said.
"It's good that you know. This woman is scheming, don't be fooled by her beauty. When it's time to make a move, you must make a decisive move without the slightest hesitation. Sunset snorted coldly and reminded.
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who would pity the jade. When I climb the stairs, I will never let anyone stand in my way. Yuan Ming laughed dryly and replied.
While they were talking, a group of fifth-level demon clans and cultivators from the Returning Void Realm had already stepped on the staircase that seemed ordinary but had hidden mysteries. Their figures gradually faded away on the stairs, while Yuan Ming stood quietly in place, his eyes were deep, and his heart was ready to deal with all challenges.
Ulu and Nan Shangfeng mingled in the crowd and stepped on the seemingly ordinary steps.
"Buzz"
A low humming sound suddenly sounded in the ears of the two of them, as if some ancient power had been touched.
They instantly felt as if they were at the bottom of the sea, and the space around them seemed to solidify into substance, squeezing their bodies.
At the same time, several huge pressures surged from all directions, as if they were about to press them alive on this step.
Both of them looked solemn, and quickly pinched the magic trick, and the mana in their bodies surged out like a tide, and their bodies lit up with spiritual light, forming a shield light curtain, canceling out most of the pressure falling on their bodies.
However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the wooden steps under their feet suddenly emitted a strange suction, which began to devour their mana continuously.
The mana in Ulu and Nan Shangfeng's bodies suddenly became unbalanced, and the aura on the surface of their bodies began to shake.
As Void Stage Cultivators, they have profound mana, but at this moment they also have to go all out to resist the suction under their feet and the pressure outside their bodies.
After some hard work, they finally adjusted the operation of the mana in their bodies, raised their steps again, and stepped onto the second step.
In an instant, the pressure from outside themselves and the suction under their feet all increased dramatically, as if there were invisible shackles restraining their bodies.
Ulu and Nan Shangfeng had to stop again and readjust their state.
Over the next few days, they found that with each step they climbed, the pressure and suction increased by a few points, and it became more and more difficult to deal with.
At first, they were able to climb a few breaths of stairs, but the further up they went, the longer it spent.
Sometimes even the time of a stick of incense does not allow you to take a step.
Looking up at the hundreds of stairs above, they couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in their hearts, as if there was an insurmountable mountain ahead of them.
Seeing all this, the Dharma monks below gradually figured out some details about the assessment, and began to think about their own countermeasures, trying to find a way to deal with this pressure and suction.
Yuan Ming was running his eyes at the moment, carefully observing the situation in Ulu and Nanshangfeng.
Soon, he sensed the problem that Sunset Shadow was referring to.
It turned out that the suction power from the steps was not only aimed at mana, but also absorbed the climber's qi and blood power and soul power.
Not only that, but the engulfment of the steps is different for each climber.
For those who are full of qi and blood, the steps absorb more, and for those who are weak in the flesh, the steps absorb less.
This difference surprised Yuan Ming and made him more vigilant.
"Looks like this staircase is quite psychic. But it's not like there's no way to deal with it. Yuan Ming's eyes flickered, and he faintly had a countermeasure in his heart.
"Really? Then I'll see. Sunset said lightly.
"Let's not talk about me for a while, Sunset Shadow is stealing the Tianding, and your sense of the outside is really keen. And I can barely sense the fluctuation of your soul power, what level has your soul cultivation reached? Could it be ......" Yuan Ming suddenly changed his words and asked Xiying about her soul cultivation realm.
Hearing this, Xiying smiled calmly and said, "You guessed right, not long ago, I made a breakthrough in soul cultivation and have reached the realm of life witches. ”
When Yuan Ming heard this, he was surprised and delighted.
He knew very well how powerful the soul cultivation of the Destiny Witch Realm was, not only did his calculation ability greatly increase, but he could also see through his fate to a certain extent. He can also cultivate the body of the yin moon, and this formless and shadowless state makes him feel extremely envious.
"No wonder you have the confidence to stay by that Sima Changqin's side. Tell me what it's like to be a witch? I heard that after reaching the realm of life witches, you can see through your fate to a certain extent, but is it true? I also heard that the Divine Witch can fuse the soul and the body and cultivate into a formless and shadowless Yin Moon Body, can you let me see it? Yuan Ming asked several questions hidden in his heart in a row.
Sunset Shadow smiled and answered Yuan Ming's question, and then pinched her hands together, her body quickly turned into a phantom state, and soon disappeared completely from Yuan Ming's perception.
At this time, no matter how hard Yuan Ming tried to perceive, he couldn't detect the existence of the sunset.
"Is this the body of the lunar moon? Sure enough, it's so mysterious, no wonder I couldn't even notice it when I approached it stealthily outside the tower. Moreover, the power of this Yin Moon Body seems to be far beyond mere stealth, otherwise it would not have such a powerful effect. Yuan Ming's tone was full of surprise and curiosity.
He was extremely shocked by the invisibility ability of the Yin Moon Body, which was almost comparable to the Heaven Escape Stone Talisman in Ulu's hand, making it impossible to see through its true location at all.
Sunset nodded slightly, explaining, "The Yin Moon Body is indeed wonderful. In addition to being invisible, it can also shield itself from its own celestial mechanisms, so that others will naturally ignore its existence. This is the fundamental reason why the body of the lunar moon is so difficult to detect. ”
"Shielding the Heavenly Machine? I see, this ability is really a bit against the sky. Yuan Ming suddenly realized.
In the following time, Yuan Ming observed the ascension of Uru and the others, and at the same time asked Xiying about the other abilities of the Witch, and the Shadow patiently answered them one by one, revealing a deep understanding of the way of the Witch in his tone.
In addition to his powerful calculation ability and stealth ability, the Witch also has insight into the mysteries of the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, and has a strong healing ability for the soul. As long as it is not completely gone, the witch can save it.
At the beginning, Xia Jie pointed out Yuan Ming, so that when Yuan Ming reached the realm of life witches in the future, he could use this ability to help him heal.
"In addition to these basic abilities, have you awakened other unique supernatural powers after you advanced to the Witch Command?" Yuan Ming thought of something and asked again.
Sunset was silent for a moment, then shook his head, pointed outside and said, "I'll talk about this later, you see, the test of Uru and the others has reached a critical moment. ”
Yuan Ming saw that Xiying didn't want to talk more, so he didn't continue to ask, and turned to look at the people on the stairs.
At this moment, Ulu and other forerunners have climbed to a fairly high position.
The teams that were originally neck and neck gradually widened the gap under the double test of pressure and suction.
The fastest climb is approaching 200 steps, while the slowest is only 70 or 80 steps.
Ulu and Nanshangfeng are in the middle of the range, neither aggressive nor backward.
Whether fast or slow, the climbers are tired, and many are even a little shaky.
This arduous test not only tested their strength, but also tested their will and perseverance.
It didn't take long for the first loser to finally appear.
This is a demon cultivator from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, and his body should be a fifth-level green snake.
When he stepped on the one hundred and thirty steps, he finally couldn't resist the strong pressure and suction, and his whole body fell heavily on the stairs, unable to move anymore.
The Jiecha on the altar waved his hand expressionlessly, and a green aura flashed, and the fifth-level green snake was teleported out of the ground below the stairs.
The fifth-level demon clan of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom did not all participate in the test, and immediately a familiar demon clan stepped forward to help the defeated person aside.
At this time, a figure walked over, it was Di Huo.
He held a white jade box in his hand, handed it to the fifth-level snake demon, and said, "Brother She Li, you don't seem to be lightly injured, you can take this jade spirit Hui Yuan Dan, it will help your injury." ”
The jade box opened, revealing a red and white elixir, exuding a strange medicinal fragrance.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is the latest healing elixir researched by the Fire Wolf Clan, which can not only quickly recover demonic power, but also has a miraculous effect in restoring the power of qi and blood, which is indeed very applicable to you." Supporting She Li was another Green Snake Clan demon cultivator, his eyes lit up.
She Li looked at the elixir and was moved, but he still waved his hand and refused: "Brother Di Huo, this elixir is so precious, I can't accept it." ”
The relationship between the various clans of the Ten Thousand Demon Nation is complicated, and there is no deep friendship between the Green Snake Clan and the Fire Wolf Clan, so he naturally will not easily accept Di Huo's elixir.
Di Huo smiled: "Brother She Li, you misunderstood. This Jade Spirit Hui Yuan Pill was refined by me personally, and it is not a precious thing. I took it out, just to make some money. ”
She Li suddenly realized and asked, "I wonder how many spirit stones Brother Di Huo plans to sell?" ”
"This silver mountain range is full of treasures, and Brother She Li must have collected a lot. The younger brother wanted to exchange this elixir for some spiritual grass to continue alchemy. One Jade Spirit Hui Yuan Dan was exchanged for two fifth-level spirit grasses, or ten fourth-level spirit grasses. Di Huo replied.
This price can be described as quite affordable, and without saying a word, She Li took out two fifth-level spirit grasses and exchanged them for this Jade Spirit Huiyuan Dan.
When the pill entered his body, a trace of red light appeared on his body, and his pale face really recovered a lot.
The exchange of the three demons did not cause too many waves, although the sound was not loud, but it was enough for the other demon clans on the side to listen to it thoroughly.
Many fifth-level demon clans who had not participated in the trial became interested in the Jade Spirit Huiyuan Pill, and they all took out the spirit grass in exchange for the pill for backup.
Wu Yu and the Green Snake King and the others were dismissive of all this, their eyes always focused on the top of the ladder, paying attention to the monks who were still struggling to climb.
