Before Shi Chi Di passed the second level, there were already four people who had passed the level first and entered the third level.

Among the four people, one fell on the second floor due to the Shouyuan catastrophe, two stopped at the fourth floor, and the last person, Gu Ye, had already reached the seventh floor.

There are five major families in Laoshan Ghost Gate, although the Cao family is the leader, but the remaining four families are only slightly inferior, and the most important thing is that there is no Cao family who has a sea control period, otherwise, it is unknown who is the leader of Laoshan Ghost Gate.

As one of the five major families, the Gu family cultivated Gu Ye is naturally not a false shelf, although the kendo talent is not as good as Cao Hong's natural swordsman, but compared to the vast majority of his peers, his kendo talent is also absolutely first-class.

He was the first to pass the first level, and Gu Ye was also the first to perceive the subtlety of the power of death in the second level, so he was the first to enter the third level again, drawing his sword all the way, and did not stop temporarily until he reached the seventh level.

The reason why he stopped was not that Gu Ye couldn't comprehend the subtlety of this layer of bone sword, but that he passed through the first six layers in one breath, causing Gu Ye to lose most of his life, and at this moment, he was actually the appearance of an old man of seventy or eighty years old, sitting tremblingly in front of the bone sword, only his eyes were still fierce, like a vulture with a cruel light.

After resting for a long time, and after the few pills he had just taken had an effect, Gu Ye slowly got up, stretched out his hand to hold the bone sword, and the next moment, he had already pulled out the bone sword and returned to the mountain road.

Smiling proudly, Gu Ye turned his head, but there seemed to be a barrier between each layer of mountain paths, and he couldn't see how many people were behind him, but even he almost couldn't pass the seventh level, let alone others.

Gu Ye sneered and walked up to the eighth floor, and then his eyes suddenly exploded with a fierce light, because at this moment, there was still a person standing on the steps of the eighth floor.

It's just that he didn't wait for Gu Ye to make any moves, and he had already entered the illusion of the eighth layer.

Those who stepped into the eighth layer one step ahead of him were naturally late.

The nine steps of the third level, the bone sword in each step, each contain a kind of swordsmanship imprint. It is no exaggeration to say that the swordsmanship imprint of each layer is not inferior to the various swordsmanship that Shi Chi cultivated before his death, that is, the astral sword technique and the killing sword technique that have been sublimated to the Aurora Realm can be slightly matched.

However, when Chi Yan successfully mastered the second layer of swordsmanship imprints, he had already discovered that these swordsmanship imprints were essentially branches of a swordsmanship, to put it simply, if he mastered all the swordsmanship imprints of the nine steps, he could merge them into a more advanced swordsmanship.

A random branch is enough to be comparable to the two major swordsmanship of Xingguang and Killing, so after the nine realms are combined, how strong will its original swordsmanship be?

Perhaps driven by this belief, it took only two hours for Shi Chi to pass through seven steps in a row. In addition to the initial aging, the swordsmanship corresponding to the other six brands are Death, Cold, Decay, Desolation, Poison, and Annihilation.

And at this moment, Shi Chi Yan is feeling the power of burial contained in this layer of branding.

As his perception of "burial" gradually increased, the death sword intent that lingered around him became more and more terrifying, faintly showing a slight pale halo, and even when he died himself, all the body parts touched by that halo overflowed wisps of dead air.

A few minutes later, Shi Chi Yan struggled to open his eyes, at this time, he had aged to the point of being like a hundred years old, his body was rickety, his hair was withered, if it were not for the evil heart sword to support his body, I was afraid that he would not even be able to stand steadily.

Grinning, Shi Chiyan tried to squeeze out a smile, and then held the hilt of the sword, at this time he didn't even have the strength to draw the sword, he could only push his palm with his soul power, and slowly pulled the bone sword out of the ground.

Rumble! With the disintegration of the illusion, Shi Chi Di returned to the steps, and he also found Gu Ye sitting next to him, but at this time, Shi Chi Di's vitality was almost exhausted, and he didn't have the energy to take care of this thing, so he struggled to move his body, and finally climbed to the ninth step.

When the illusion unfolded again, Shi Chi Yan slowly came to the bone sword on this layer, trembling and reaching out to hold the hilt, and the next moment, his eyes couldn't help but show a little surprise.

After a long time, Shi Chi Yan nodded with understanding, his hand still holding the hilt of the sword, I don't know if this brand is a little special, Shi Chi Yan's Death Sword Intent seems to have been stimulated, and it has become active like never before, and it has sunk into the bone sword mightily, and it is entangled with the brand in it.

At the beginning, as the Death Sword Intent frantically poured into the bone sword, Shi Chi's old age became more and more serious, but gradually, his aging trend gradually slowed down, and after more than an hour, his whole person no longer showed half a sign of continuing to age, but at this time, he almost stopped beating his heart, and his head drooped, like a dead man.

After being silent for a long time, accompanied by a buzzing sound from nowhere, Shi Chiyan's head suddenly moved, and then, he who was still old and decrepit before, actually became younger little by little.

If someone sees this scene, they will definitely exclaim "rejuvenation", in just a few minutes, he was just a hundred years old, and he has become more than fifty years old, and looking at his appearance, he is still young, as if the vitality that has just passed has returned.

For a full half an hour, until he opened his eyes, he had returned to the appearance before he walked up the mountain road, full of vitality and strong soul power, obviously back to his peak state.

Looking at his body, Shi Chiyan couldn't help but laugh, he finally understood the purpose of the Bone Master's first triple test.

The first test is to exclude those cultivators who are weak in skill.

The second test is to let people master the power of death.

The third test is to teach the complete method of death.

If you have the power of death and don't know how to control it, you will only hurt yourself, and only by mastering the corresponding method of death can you control the power of death without hurting yourself.

Unlike the first eight steps, which are all branches of the Way of Death, the ninth step is not the same, and the imprint of this step is vitality, not vitality in the conventional sense, but plundering vitality.

Once the mystery of the ninth layer of imprint is comprehended, the vitality that the cultivator has passed in the first eight layers will no longer be a problem, because the method of plundering vitality can allow the cultivator to plunder the vitality from all things in heaven and earth and make up for his loss of longevity.

Chi Xuan seemed to be on the verge of death just now, but in fact, he used the Death Sword Intent to resonate with the brand, so as to rob the vitality from all around to replenish the vitality that he had lost too much.

After laughing for a long time, he stood up, moved his body, and enjoyed the vitality that seemed to have been absent for many years, and only after a long time did he calm down, hold the hilt of the sword and lift it up, and pull out the bone sword with great ease.

As the bone sword lifted from the ground, the environment on this level automatically disintegrated, and as soon as Shi Chi Yan returned to the steps, he took a step forward without hesitation.

On the ninth floor of the stairs, there were actually many steps that meandered to the top of the mountain, but he stepped out of the mountain path and appeared on the top of the White Bone Mountain.

As soon as he came to the top of the mountain, Shi Chiyan saw a large array covering an area of more than 100 square meters in front of him, and behind the large array, there was actually a cave.

He was looking at the large array in front of him, when the voice of the bone master suddenly sounded in his ears: "The fourth test, passing the seventy-two white bone sword formation, is my disciple outside the White Bone Cave." ”

"Gaiden disciple?" Shi Chi was stunned and wondered, "Then don't you have to pass the fifth level?" ”

"Pass the fifth level and pass the secret disciple of the White Bone Cave for me."

Xu was the first to pass the third level, and Master Bone answered his question in a rare way.

He carefully observed the large array for a long time, but found that from the outside, the entire large array was completely shrouded in a white mist, and he couldn't see the reality inside at all.

After thinking about it, Shi Chi Di dispelled distracting thoughts, sacrificed the Evil Heart Sword, and walked straight into the seventy-two white bone sword formations that represented the fourth level.

*——*——*

Just when Shi Chi Yan arrived at the fourth level, everyone in the first three levels, no matter how far they went, was moved back to the periphery of the White Bone Mountain Great Array out of thin air by a force.

When so many people appeared, the people waiting outside were shocked, but when they took a closer look, they were surprised to find that they were actually those who had just entered.

"Senior sister!" Seeing Shi Yirui, Zheng Duobao hurriedly walked over and said hurriedly, "Are you okay?" ”

Shi Yirui was stunned when he heard this, touched himself, shook his head and said, "It's okay, what's going on?" ”

Sun Wei looked back at the White Bone Mountain, the light in his eyes flickered, and after a while, he sighed lightly: "It seems that the Bone Master has chosen his successor." ”

"What?" Shi Yirui was surprised, "Has anyone already passed the fifth level?" ”

"Look at who hasn't come out, and you'll know who it is." Xuanyuan Yun said coldly, she was just about to pass the third level, but she was forcibly moved, in order to pass the assessment, she lost nearly seven years of life, even this ice beauty has the urge to scold.

Compared with Xuanyuan Yun, Cao Hong is not much different from before, she is still the same as when she entered the third level, it seems that she has not even passed the first step.

Xuanyuan Yun also discovered this, frowned and said, "Why are you ......?"

Cao Hong saw her confusion and grimaced: "Hehe! I don't want to be an old lady! ”

Xuanyuan Yun was stunned, speechless, he didn't think that these people were desperately trying to pass the test, but Cao Hong, who had the most talent in swordsmanship, gave up passing the test for the sake of appearance.

At this time, Zhong Wudi, who came over quickly after seeing Cao Hong, first looked at her carefully, then took out a pill and handed it to her, and said in a deep voice: "Eat it." ”

Seeing the irrepressible concern in Zhong Wuyi's eyes, Cao Hong was stunned, then stuck out his tongue, didn't stretch out his hand, lowered his head, and directly took the pill in Zhong Wuving's hand with his mouth.

didn't expect Cao Hong to make this action suddenly, Zhong Wushu was also stunned, and then rarely lost his composure and retracted his hand, he has always been cold, but at this moment, even his ears are flushed.

And in the distance, seeing this picture of Zhong Wushu feeding Cao Hong medicine with his own hands, the corners of Gu Yeqi's eyes, who still maintained the appearance of eighty or ninety years old, twitched.

Both are young men from Laoshan Ghost Gate, Gu Ye and Cao Hong are close in age, and they are both kendo masters, whether from a family perspective or a personal point of view, Gu Ye has a huge covet for Cao Hong.

If it was a weekday, I was afraid that Gu Ye had already rushed over, but he didn't have half of his strength at all, and he relied on the support of a few Gu family disciples, so he could only stare at the two of them from a distance with his eyes blazing for a while.
