Chapter 230: Ice and Fire
Although the Nine Heavens and Stars Jue may be the cultivation technique of the ancient powerful Nine Heavens Emperor, Chen Zheng's current cultivation realm can only exert less than one percent of the power, and he is still 108,000 miles away from the divine power of breathing time to restore the original qi.
Although he was running the Nine Heavens and Stars Jue and climbing at the same time, the original qi he absorbed was still far from being in short supply, and his body had been consumed to the extreme, and his speed gradually slowed down.
"Poof!"
A fiery snake erupted from the steps and ignited Chen Zheng's trouser leg at once, but he didn't have time to extinguish the fire at all, and still climbed with his hands and feet quickly.
I wanted to perform "Wind Walking" and "Fish and Dragon Change" several times, but found that on such a steep step, I couldn't do it at all, so I could only use the most primitive climbing.
The fire on the pants burned until the thigh, and then it was extinguished in the rapid movement, and the fire burned the buttocks to the extreme, without the demeanor of a warrior.
"Persistence! This 'Tianhuo Eighteen' is coming to an end! You must hold on!" Chen Zheng silently encouraged himself in his heart, and with tenacious perseverance, he insisted on climbing.
Finally, at a certain moment, the temperature between heaven and earth dropped suddenly, and the "Heavenly Fire Eighteen" ended!
Of the three sections of the Eighteen Plates, two have been successfully climbed, and there is still one left, and victory is just around the corner! Chen Zheng raised his head happily and looked up, his dark face suddenly turned white.
I saw that the steps up, some were ice and some were coals, arranged alternately, without affecting each other, but there was no regularity. In the sky, ice picks and fire rain fell at the same time, the ice did not melt, and the flames did not go out, which was very strange.
"Ice and fire double and eighteen!"
Ice and fire, the two extremes, are arranged together in harmony, without affecting each other, and together form a formation, which is really a good means to penetrate the heavens and the earth!
Seeing this strange scene, Chen Zheng was shocked at the same time, and at the same time he had a sense of powerlessness! This feeling of powerlessness first came from physiology, and the feeling of exhaustion and prostration of the muscles, muscles, bones, heart, and lungs of the body suddenly came up, making him irrepressibly rise in his heart with a thought, that is, to give up.
"Xuanbing Eighteen" and "Heavenly Fire Eighteen" are already miserable, and they can't help but die, and this "Ice and Fire Double and Eighteen" should be such a kind of torment? I'm afraid it's not worse than purgatory!
Ask Tianzong! Ask Tianzong! The super strength of the four great human races in the Eastern Regions is really not something that can be joined casually! Ask the Eighteen Plates of Heaven is the Eighteen Plates of Hell!
It's better to give up!
At this moment, giving up is full of endless temptation! If you give up, you don't have to suffer anymore, you don't have to endure the pain of cold and hot scorching, you don't have to endure the feeling of collapse of the whole body.
There are thousands of martial arts roads, why bother taking this single-plank bridge?!
If you don't join the Wentian Sect, isn't it still possible to cultivate? If you don't join the Wentian Sect, isn't it just as possible to become a powerhouse in the world? If you don't join the Wentian Sect, you won't necessarily be caught by Baguio in the Chaotian Temple!
At this moment of extreme exhaustion, the body's instinctive reaction was stronger than ever, trying to blind Chen Zheng's true heart. The temptation to rest is amplified wirelessly, like a thirsty person with a dry mouth, who sees water, and has to take a sip regardless of whether it is dirty or not.
Give up! Why bother!
Is it really wise to give up?
The last trace of clarity in Chen Zheng's mind quietly asked, people should learn to give up, but that is in the absence of a better choice, giving up is the best choice! But is giving up really the best choice at this time?
If you don't join the Wentian Sect, you can indeed cultivate, and if you are lucky, you may also be able to escape the capture of Baguio of the Chaotian Temple, and you may also become a strong person by chance.
But what are the chances of that?
The Chaotian Temple is a transcendent existence that surpasses the vast world, there are countless strong people, and there are probably many powerful people who cover the sky with one hand, can they really escape their clutches?
Escaping the capture of the powerhouse of the Chaotian Temple and becoming a strong man by chance, these want to be realized, relying on complete luck and luck! Leaving fate completely to luck is probably definitely not a wise choice!
"I must hold my fate firmly in my own hands!
Chen Zheng's eyes froze, joining the Wentian Sect now, it is much more realistic than trying his luck! Joining the Wentian Sect, he will have a greater chance to become a strong man and rebel against Baguio, and only in this way can he control his own destiny!
"I can't give up!"
Chen Zheng shook his head violently, eliminated all the messy negative thoughts, and walked forward! At this moment, his mind was incomparably sober, and his thoughts were incomparably smooth.
Persist and never give up!
He made up his mind and resolutely walked into the "Ice and Fire Double and Eighteen".
In a trance, the ice was no longer so cold, the cold wind was no longer so biting, the fiery steps were no longer so hot, the flame rain no longer exploded after it landed, and the edge of the ice pick became dull!
At the beginning, Chen Zheng felt that he was in a state of extreme exhaustion, and his feelings were no longer sensitive, and he could not truly feel the true power of the two heavens of ice and fire.
In fact, the ice was really no longer so cold, the cold wind was no longer so biting, the fiery steps were no longer so hot, the flame rain no longer exploded after it landed, and the edge of the ice pick became dull.
Although this level is a double heaven of ice and fire, it is far less fierce and powerful than the previous "Xuanbing Eighteen" and "Heavenly Fire Eighteen".
This level tests the heart!
Chen Zheng suddenly became clear, at this point, even the geniuses of the Nine Star Cultivation of the Earth Martial Realm were probably exhausted! At this moment, the test had changed from testing the original qi cultivation to testing the perseverance and testing the heart!
A heart that never gives up, a brave heart, a strong heart, and an indomitable heart!
After all, the long journey of martial arts is full of countless difficulties and obstacles, and being talented is just a good start, whether you can become a real strong person, you still need courage and perseverance, and you need to have a strong heart that never gives up!
Without thinking too much, Chen Zheng could guess that at this level, there must have been many martial artists who chose to give up and chose not to join the Wentian Sect.
This choice seems harmless, but it will plant a seed of defeat in the heart of martial arts, and from then on, martial arts will never make great achievements along the way.
Whether you can become a strong person or not, maybe it is just a thought, and the choice determines your fate!
Chen Zheng was glad that he had chosen the right one! The courage in his heart was unprecedentedly strong, although his body was exhausted, but he didn't know where the strength came from, supporting him to go up step by step.
At this moment, if someone can see the last section of the Tianmen Cloud Ladder from a distance, they will see a very small number of black spots, which are moving forward slowly, as slow as a snail.
And these people are the warriors who chose to persist and resolutely climbed into the "Ice and Fire Double and Eighteen".
The powerhouses of the Wentian Sect have begun to pay attention to these warriors who move as slowly as snails, and these people will become the fresh blood of the Wentian Sect, and in the next five years or longer, they will become the new force of the Wentian Sect. There are also people who may become the dominant figures in the Wentian Sect and even the entire Eastern Regions.
It's just that these young warriors who insist on the Tianmen Cloud Ladder don't know that there are strong people who are paying attention to them, and all their strength at the moment is used to persist.
Perseverance! Perseverance to the end is victory!
This sentence is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do. Every martial artist in the "Ice and Fire Double and Eighteen" formation had their teeth tight, their foreheads were bruised one by one, and they were drenched in sweat, as if they were doing the most difficult thing in the world.
Chen Zheng moved with difficulty, every step he climbed, it was as difficult as climbing a 100-meter cliff, the use of his body had exceeded the limit, and his limbs were completely strong under the perseverance.
But he had forgotten his exhaustion, his eyes were full of light, his mind was clear, his thoughts were clear, he knew that his martial arts cultivation had taken another step, and after climbing this Tianmen Cloud Ladder, his combat power would inevitably improve.
A test actually has such an effect, and it is definitely not easy to ask Tianzong! Chen Zheng felt more and more that he was right to choose to continue climbing.
While Chen Zheng insisted on climbing, Luo Fei, who was also in the double heaven of ice and fire, was also insisting on moving forward. She didn't give up, she wasn't in danger of being hunted down by the big family, and she wasn't targeted by a transcendent being like the Chaotian Temple, but she didn't give up.
She actually didn't think too much, she thought in her heart that Chen Zheng wouldn't give up, so she couldn't give up!
When she was in Tianfeng Kingdom, she disguised herself as a man and met Chen Zhengpingshui, became friends, and developed feelings in the midst of common hardships. She originally wanted to marry Chen Zheng and share the glory and wealth, but she didn't expect that Chen Zheng would have a bad fate and couldn't stop and enjoy a comfortable life.
Although Chen Zheng did not agree to be a colt, she understood that Chen Zheng was afraid that she would not be able to get out of the Chen family alive. In her heart, she already regarded Chen Zheng as a colt, that is, her man.
Now that she is out of the Heavenly Wind Country, her status as a princess is no longer useful, there is no man who can help her, and the only thing she can do is not to drag Chen Zheng back.
She gritted her teeth and persevered, her lips were bloody, and she didn't feel any pain. Her hands, feet, and knees were worn out, and she ignored them all, her eyes as firm as autumn water, and the pride between her eyebrows overrode her tiredness.
That's the power of love!
Suddenly, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the world of ice and fire disappeared, and the ancient smell of the mountains returned to the sense of smell.
"I crawled out!"
Luo Fei sat on the mountain peak, ragged, and there was still a little princess look. She took a few deep breaths of the fresh emptiness above the peak, her body was extremely weak, but she did not immediately start cultivating to restore the original qi, but looked around at the martial artists on the peak, looking for traces of Chen Zheng.
