Approaching the top of the mountain, there were twenty or thirty people on the more than a dozen wide steps, they were moving forward under great pressure, their bodies were trembling, their backs were wet with sweat, and the fine and dense beads of sweat on their foreheads all showed the difficulty of mountaineering.

From the foot of the mountain to these dozen floors, there are nearly 100 people, most of them walk halfway up the mountain without much effort, but then up, the pressure increases sharply, and many people stop here, can only sigh.

Chu Xiqing walked halfway up the mountain, feeling effortless, and walked up dozens of meters before feeling the pressure. It's like someone has their hands on their shoulders, stopping them from moving forward.

Continuing upward, the pressure increased quickly, and he mobilized the spiritual qi to flow to the meridians and points of his body, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. In the days when he came to Jingcheng, he didn't waste a day, and he had been refining his physical body with yin and yang, and the effect was very good, so Chu Xiqing's physical body was much stronger than the ordinary spiritual cultivation period.

After another hundred meters, Chu Xiqing felt that someone was beating him with a big hammer every step he took, and his five organs shook, but the aura could no longer relieve the pressure, so he ran the Xingyue Jue, as if he was holding up a night curtain on his body.

When you come to the last dozen or so steps, you can come here well, or the physical body or some kind of magic is powerful. Chu Xiqing's consciousness swept away, and he probably knew that there was actually a peak of spiritual cultivation and ten late stage spiritual cultivation here, and the rest were all in the middle stage of spiritual cultivation.

These people felt that someone was probing them, but at the moment they didn't care which one was bold, and they all threw themselves wholeheartedly into the confrontation with pressure.

Chu Xiqing crossed the middle stage of soul cultivation that was lagging behind step by step, took a short rest, and then crossed the late stage of spirit cultivation...... Those who were overtaken were surprised in their hearts, but they could only look at the back of that person and wonder.

At the top is the peak of the spirit cultivation, only two steps away, this person is very popular, his face is like a carving, his facial features are clear, his face is resolute, if a woman sees it, she will definitely blush and her heart beat.

He was panting at the moment, taking a difficult step, stepping on the last step of the steps, suddenly hearing the sound of heavy breathing behind him, he was surprised, turned his head slightly, and found a young man wearing the robe of the Qingyun Sect walking slowly past the crowd.

He frowned, as if he had never seen this person in the sect? It's just a mid-stage stage of spiritual recuperation.

"Bang!" Chu Xiqing took the next step heavily, standing side by side with the peak of the spirit cultivation a few meters away, the man turned his head and asked, "I don't know which peak disciple this senior disciple is?" ”

"Whew!" Chu Xiqing glanced at the peak of the spirit cultivation in a strange way, and asked rhetorically, "Why can't I be a senior brother?" ”

The man was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Chu Xiqing to ask such a question.

That person's face was strange, I am the senior brother of the Qingyun Sect in this spiritual cultivation period, can you be my senior brother?

Chu Xiqing no longer paid attention to him, the runes flashed, and a whirlpool appeared on his body, as if he had sucked the invisible pressure into it, and his body was light, and he stepped to the top of the mountain in one step.

The peak of the spirit cultivation stared, unable to understand how he had gone up.

Chu Xiqing was overjoyed in his heart, it really worked! After coming to the top of the mountain, there is no pressure, the square field in front of you is carved from blue jade, there is an ancient tree growing in the northeast corner, there are two bright red fruits on the tree, and no one has touched a game of chess on the table under the tree for many years. Ten meters above the center of the field, there is a bronze wheel shaped like a stone pier, and there is a small ring in the middle of the bronze disc that rotates at a constant speed, and the ten thousand rays of light are emitted by this round wheel.

Chu Xiqing walked under the disc, and after the glow of the light, Chu Xiqing actually felt that his divine consciousness was growing and transforming into a primordial god, but at this moment he did not refine the pillar of light. This bronze wheel has such an effect! He was amazed, his heart moved, his feet strained, he jumped up, and when his hand was about to reach the wheel, a force flicked his hand away.

Chu Xiqing fell to the ground, a little unsure, and wanted to use a strong one on this round wheel, but he was afraid that it would cause something that could not be solved.

So he stared at the fruit of the ancient tree again, and what grew under the radiation of this glow must not be mortal, and he went to the bottom of the tree, and looked at the chessboard, on which black and white were intertwined, and it seemed that the battle was very fierce, but he could not understand it.

"Whoosh!" The two sword qi cut off the fruit, Chu Xiqing took the two fruits into his hand with the qi imperial object, and it happened that at this time, the peak of the spirit cultivation came up, he sat on the ground with a tired butt, and when he saw Chu Xiqing picking the fruit, he shouted out of breath...... Whew, can you give me one, I have other elixirs to exchange with you. ”

Chu Xiqing blinked and said, "No, how do I know if the value of your elixir can be compared to this thing." ”

The man got up slowly, refined qi and breathed to relieve the soreness on his body, and then said: "Senior brother, my character is well-known in the sect, and I will definitely not let you suffer, besides, the effect of this elixir will be greatly reduced if you take the second one." ”

Chu Xiqing was a little hesitant, he remembered that Chen Xueyue had indeed said that many elixirs would only have miraculous effects when they were refined and absorbed for the first time. Seeing Chu Xiqing shaken, the man continued: "Senior brother, I have a few water yin grasses here, which have a miraculous effect on warming the body. ”

Chu Xiqing suddenly stared at him and asked, "What will happen to you if I don't change you?" ”

The man looked embarrassed and sighed: "What else, if you don't change it, you won't change it." ”

Hearing this answer, Chu Xiqing nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "Let's change it." ”

The man was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Thank you, junior brother,"

He went over and took out three water shade grasses from his sleeves, saying that they were grass, but rather rice, and they looked very similar. Chu Xiqing took it and handed over the red fruit.

The man put it in his sleeve and said with a smile: "Thank you, I don't know the name of my junior brother, I don't seem to have seen you in the sect." ”

Chu Xiqing said with a smile: "The surname is Han Mingyi, I usually can't come out, and it's normal for my senior brother not to see me." Chu Xiqing no longer bothered about the matter of senior brother or junior brother, so as not to be detected anything.

The man nodded, and then asked, "Don't you recognize me, junior brother?" ”

Chu Xiqing felt funny in his heart, everyone has to recognize you. But he shook his head and said, "Senior brother, I am a little face-blind, I don't know people very well, and I don't usually move around, so I may not know you, senior brother." ”

The man smiled and said, "I see, junior brother, my name is Jiang Chuanjing, that is, your senior brother. ”

Chu Xiqing pretended to be surprised, and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Jiang!" Disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

Jiang Chuanjing quipped: "I think after coming today, Senior Brother Han should be able to remember my face." ”

"Naturally, I recognize it, dare to ask my senior brother what it is?" Chu Xiqing asked, pointing to the bronze round wheel above.

Jiang Chuanjing looked up, saw the round wheel, and said with a clear face: "Oh, it's this thing, I once heard a senior brother in the Xuantai period say that the light emitted by this thing can strengthen people's divine consciousness and promote the birth of the original god. When he saw Chu Xiqing's gaze, he immediately knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "I advised my junior brother not to fight the idea of this thing, no one has been able to get it for so many years, maybe it is not a chance." However, it is possible to cultivate for a period of time through the glow of the sun. With that, he sat cross-legged on the ground, opened his mind, and received the rays of the sun. , the center of the eyebrows glowed.

Chu Xiqing smiled awkwardly, and also learned from Jiang Chuanjing to open up the sea of knowledge, the glow of the sun is ten thousand rays, and the sea of knowledge is extremely gorgeous, Chu Xiqing's divine sense absorbs the strange power in the glow, and keeps growing, boom, another pillar of light in the sea of knowledge becomes a light cluster and integrates into the divine sense, Chu Xiqing can't help but sigh at the speed of cultivation.

When he was engrossed in absorbing the glow, he occasionally glanced at the sea of knowledge, and suddenly found that the light of the glow was reflected by the round mirror too clearly, and gradually outlined a circular outline above the sea of knowledge, his heart beat violently, and an unbelievable thought appeared in his heart.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chuanjing's divine consciousness was completely transformed into a primordial spirit and stabilized, he realized that his absorption of Xia Guang was saturated, so he stopped his cultivation and turned his eyes to look at Chu Xiqing, and found that he was still absorbing Xia Guang, and felt that this junior disciple's talent was quite good.

In fact, Chu Xiqing had already "eaten up", refining a total of two pillars of light, and the glow filled the sea of knowledge, making him a little unbearable, and even faintly emitted glow in his flesh. Although the pain in his body was becoming clearer and clearer, he was laughing wildly in his heart - the round wheel above the sea had been formed, and only the small ring in the middle had not turned.

After persevering for another quarter of an hour, he felt that his body was about to burn, but Xiaohuan still did not react. At last he couldn't take it anymore, and jumped up violently, screaming strangely, and a glow came out of his mouth.

Jiang Chuanjing on the side was stunned, he saw his Senior Brother Han glowing all over, constantly spinning in circles, very excited, he clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Senior Brother Han, when you broke through, you actually had a strange scene full of light, it is really extraordinary, is this image to celebrate the breakthrough?" ”

Chu Xiqing didn't bother to pay attention to him, he wanted to consume the glow, but in the end he really had no choice, he stopped suddenly, and hit it with one palm, the palm print was blazing with golden light, and one of the unicorn phantoms roared out.

"Whew...... ...... "Chu Xiqing wiped the sweat from his forehead, and just wanted to sit down and rest.

"Papa......" There was applause behind him, "Senior Brother's palm can't be stopped at all in the middle stage of ordinary spirit cultivation, it's quite powerful." Jiang Chuanjing exclaimed.

Chu Xiqing's face was strange, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to give up his hand and say, "Senior brother praises falsely." Jiang Chuanjing nodded, feeling that this Senior Brother Han was not only talented, but also very modest, and he would become a great talent in the future.

"Senior brother, there is a chessboard under the tree, let's go and take a look." Jiang Chuanjing pointed to the chessboard.

Chu Xiqing just wanted to leave, when suddenly the small ring in the round wheel above his head stopped rotating, "When!" A loud bell rang out from the round wheel! He was instantly stunned, this round wheel turned out to be a round clock! The bell rang throughout the Secret Realm, as if it was banishing and purifying something. Hearing the bell, everyone felt that their hearts were bright and their thoughts were clear.

After the bell rang, the small ring turned again, and Chu Xiqing was pleasantly surprised to find that the small ring in the round wheel above the sea also rotated, and the whole emitted a little glow.

At the same time, he was even more puzzled in his heart, what is the round mirror Taiqing? Previously, in Hanjiang County, "heaven and earth are like mirrors", and later nine pillars of light were reflected in the sea of knowledge, and now even this strange thing can be imprinted, which is too excessive.

Jiang Chuanjing, who was beside him, also heard the bell for the first time, and recovered from the shock, he looked at the round bell and said, "It turns out that this bell is like this." Then he said, "Let's go, Senior Brother Han, look at the chessboard." ”

The two walked to the chessboard, Jiang Chuanjing obviously had studied the Nineteen Vertical and Horizontal Paths, observed for a long time, and suddenly sighed. Chu Xiqing was puzzled: "Senior Brother Jiang, is this game of chess very powerful?" ”

Jiang Chuanjing nodded solemnly, and then said: "Nineteen flat roads, the words are flat and unscrupulous. People's hearts have no calculation, and the national player has a time to lose. I can understand and crack all the chess games and endgames I have seen before, and no matter how bad it is, I will not have the slightest clue, but when I see this game of chess today, I can't understand it at all, and it is not an exaggeration to call the two sides of the game chess immortals. ”

Chu Xiqing was surprised that there was such a doorway.

Jiang Chuanjing's expression was a little sluggish before, but he suddenly perked up, laughed loudly, twisted up a white child, and said with pride: "So what, my generation just wants to face difficulties, move forward, and work harder and harder." After saying that, he was about to fall, but suddenly stopped, took it back, looked at it for a while, and then fell again, and stopped, and so on several times, he looked depressed, and said in a low tone: "I don't understand." ”

Chu Xiqing looked really uncomfortable, snatched the white son in Jiang Chuanjing's hand, snapped and fell crisply, filling the vacancy of a white son, Chu Xiqing nodded with satisfaction. Jiang Chuanjing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he thought that he couldn't understand it anyway, and it didn't matter where he went.

At this moment, a vision suddenly appeared, and around the table where the chessboard was placed, a strange light lit up, and many runes appeared, bursting out with terrifying power, but it did not hurt people.

"Boom!" A pillar of light rose into the sky, enveloping Jiang Chuanjing, "Ah! Jiang Chuanjing exclaimed, and then he was sucked up, and the whole person was blurred and hazy.

Everything happened too fast, and before Chu Xiqing had time to react, Jiang Chuanjing disappeared, leaving Chu Xiqing alone in the mess.
