After a few people jumped into the whirlpool exit, the others didn't talk nonsense anymore and walked into the whirlpool exit one after another.

When they reappeared, they were already under a gray starry sky.

Where they were was a huge platform, and the platform was empty, and even the monks who had come in before had not seen it.

At the end of the platform, there is a staircase made of black gas condensed.

The staircase winds upward, as if connecting with the starry sky above, with no end in sight.

What is certain is that they will have to walk up this step and go up step by step before they can move on.

Zhou You didn't act rashly, but looked at the Yin God: "Tell me, what is this?" ”

Everyone looked at the Yin God.

They all knew that the Yin God had a good connection with this forbidden place, and they knew it very well.

Yin Shen looked at the long steps, and he said in a somewhat solemn tone: "I don't know exactly what this place is, but according to the broken memory, there is also such a step in the Ancient Demon Clan, and the Ancient Demon should be created according to the steps of the Ancient Demon Clan, if you want to reach the heart of the Ancient Demon, you must climb this step, if you fail to reach the top, the end is to become a puppet." ”

Zhou You's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "Puppet? What kind of puppet? ”

The Yin God said: "The Blood Demon wanders in the body of this ancient demon all day long, exists to protect the ancient demon, and kills all monks. ”

Zhou You couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "Climbing the top steps, what are you looking at, cultivation?" Body? Or perseverance? ”

Yin God said: "Comprehension and perseverance, this step has a total of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, each thousand steps is a hurdle, the stronger the perseverance, the faster the speed of climbing to the top, but each hurdle must have enough comprehension to step on." ”

Zhou You frowned, he still needs a strong enough understanding?

Again, he asked, "What needs to be comprehended?" ”

The Yin God shook his head and said, "I don't know, but what is certain is that those who can't reach the top, as well as the five people who take the longest time to reach the top, will become blood demons and fall below." ”

Hearing this, Zhou You and the others walked to the edge of the platform and looked down.

I saw that under this platform was an endless river of blood, with blood boiling in it, and occasionally one or two blood-red heads could be seen popping up, and the cold eyes were chilling.

Obviously, it's the Bloodseeker.

A puppet in the body of the Ancient Demon.

Zhou You looked at those puppets and looked up at the endless stairs, his eyes were a little solemn.

I have to say, this rule is very cruel.

With 9,999 steps, it is very difficult to reach the top, but even if you reach the top, you may not be able to survive, and there will definitely be five people who will become blood demons.

That's the price of wanting to get the Old Demon Inheritance.

Every place is dangerous.

No wonder the Yin God said that even if those people went in first for half a year, it would be useless.

It is estimated that in the end, it will be necessary to wait until the people who travel around them reach the top, and the rules of this place will judge the person who is the slowest to reach the summit before they can enter the heart of the ancient demon that the Yin God said.

"By the way, Taibai's inheritance should be within the heart of the ancient demon."

At this time, the Yin God spoke again.

Traveling around the eyes shrunk.

The inheritance of Taibai Sword Immortal!

It's been so long since I've been in the Land of Sealing Demons, and I'm finally about to find the inheritance of the Taibai Sword Immortal.

It's not easy.

"What do you need to get the inheritance?"

Zhou You asked.

The Yin God shook his head and said, "I don't know, but having a better performance on this step will definitely be more helpful for getting the inheritance." ”

Zhou You had no choice but to nod when he heard this.

That's true.

"Let's go."

Zhou You spoke indifferently, and was the first to step on the steps and began to walk up.

The others did not hesitate and climbed the steps one after another.

But they didn't find out until they climbed the steps.

When I was below, I saw that there was only one road that spread upward, but when I actually stepped on the steps, I found that I was the only one on the whole step, and I couldn't see anyone else at all.

That is, everyone exists in a different space.

The Yin God didn't tell them this.

Zhou You asked the Yin God through the prohibition, and the Yin God said that he didn't know about it either.

Zhou You didn't think much about it and continued to go up.

As the Yin God said, this step relies on perseverance and understanding, cultivation is useless here, and physical strength does not help, just like a mortal walking on the steps, he can only rely on his own will to climb up.

When there were two or three hundred steps in front of him, it was relatively easy to walk around, but the more he went up, the heavier his legs became.

When he was five hundred steps, Zhou You looked up and could only see a black door standing on the steps from a distance.

"It's true that it takes perseverance to reach the top, level five hundred has already become very difficult, and this is only one-twentieth of it."

Zhou You muttered, and then continued on.

However, as he went up, Zhou You found some clues.

From the first step onwards, there are some subtle differences to each one.

If there is any difference, after thinking about it carefully, Zhou You feels that the rhythm of the demonic qi rotation is a little different.

These steps are all formed by the condensation of demonic qi, and those demonic qi will rotate slightly, and after feeling it carefully, he found that the demonic qi rotation of each step is different.

In fact, it was also at the beginning of Zhou You's time to strengthen his insight through fishing, so that he could observe the slight difference in the demonic air rotation.

Zhou You silently memorized the operation rules of these demonic qi in his heart, and then continued to walk upward.

He felt that the laws of the operation of these demonic qi might be quite important.

Fortunately, he was already a monk of the Great Perfection of Yudan, and his memory was very good, so even if it was hundreds of different changes, he could remember it in his heart.

Zhou You also passed the ban and told the White Crane Daoist about it.

It's just that the insight of the White Crane Dao people is not so strong, and even if they know about it, they can't observe the different things of the demonic qi rotation.

……

Soon, Zhou You stepped on a thousand steps and came to the black strange door.

When I came here, even if I was traveling, I felt my legs trembling, and the muscles of my calves were very sore.

For a monk who has reached the Great Perfection of the Attainment of the Body Refining Realm,

The black door stood in front of the thousandth step, and the demonic energy was billowing on it, and it was obvious that if you wanted to go on, you had to open the black door.

Zhou You tried to push the door open, but found that there was a barrier on the door, and it was impossible to touch the door.

However, Zhou You found that when he put his hand on the enchantment, he could control the demonic qi on the black door and let the demonic qi run at will.

"Could this be the understanding that the Yin God said? So how do you open the door? ”

Zhou You frowned, a little puzzled.

He didn't easily move those demonic qi, but closed his eyes, and the law of the change of the demonic qi of the thousand steps flashed in his mind.

Then they were connected one by one, and it seemed that some patterns were obtained.

"Could it be—"

Zhou You's eyes flashed, and he thought of a possibility, and after a slight pause, he began to control the transfer of those demonic qi.

After a stick of incense, the demonic energy began to work automatically.

Zhou You stepped back and watched those demonic qi run automatically.

"Click!"

With a soft sound, the demonic qi on the black door collapsed, and the enchantment in front of him disappeared, Zhou You pressed his hand on the black door, gently pushed the black door open, walked in, and came to the thousandth and first steps.

"Sure enough."

Zhou You smiled slightly.

In fact, if you want to open the Demon Gate, you must memorize the laws of the previous 1,000-step demonic qi changes, and then follow those demonic qi changes, connect the rules one by one, and re-deduce them on the Demon Gate, and then you can open the Black Gate.

This threshold can be regarded as passing.

If you don't memorize those rules, it's not impossible to open the black door.

You can see it from the enchantment tour just now.

As long as the comprehension is enough, you can also comprehend the operation law of the demonic qi from the changes in the enchantment, but this is very difficult, and it needs to be constantly deduced, even if you have a good understanding, if you want to deduce it in a short time, it is not so simple.

Zhou You memorized the changes in the demonic qi of a thousand steps in his heart, and it was also a shortcut.

This is something that can hardly only be done by traveling around.

After all, there are not many people who can have such strong insight as him.

There is a correlation between insight and consciousness.

The strength of Zhou You's divine sense can be said to be the best in the audience.

The divine consciousness of the late Yuan infant.

It is destined to have certain advantages in traveling.

He continued on his way.

After stepping on the 1001st step, Zhou You clearly felt that it would be even more difficult to go up.

There is a great burden on the legs, and only the kind of person with great perseverance can bear such a burden.

Zhou You's perseverance is not the best among everyone, take Wang Tiezhu and He Taichang as examples, the perseverance of the two of them must be better than Zhou You's.

And He Taichang's understanding can definitely crown the audience.

But the problem is that you can observe the laws of the operation of the demonic qi on the steps, which is equivalent to mastering a huge bug!

No matter how strong the perseverance and understanding are, it is difficult to make up for it.

Of course.

Under this premise, the perseverance of traveling around you also needs to be very good, otherwise, even if there is this bug, it will not be able to use.

Zhou You is not in a hurry or impatient, step by step, every step is very firm, every step is taken, it takes a certain amount of time to observe the changes in the demonic energy on the steps, and then memorize them one by one.

Only in this way can Zhou You easily crack the Black Gate when he reaches the second Black Gate.

The further you go, the more you feel strained to travel around.

At the time of 1,900 levels, every step of the journey was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

His breathing was a little heavy, and after he stopped, he carefully observed the changes in his demonic energy, which could be regarded as a short rest.

After more than ten breaths, Zhou You took another step.

After repeating this ten times, he finally stood in front of the second black door.

According to his previous experience, Zhou You directly put his hand on the enchantment and began to control the demonic energy inside for deduction.

After another stick of incense.

Zhou You let go of his hand, the demonic qi operated automatically, and then collapsed, the enchantment disappeared, and Zhou You easily pushed the black door open.

Then Zhou Yu stepped into the 2001st level.

He looked up.

Above is the endless and vast starry sky, and the endless stairs are like a road to the sky, connecting the starry sky.

I don't know how long the road will be.

Zhou You walked out without hesitation and continued to move forward.

"Whew—it's getting harder."

Zhou You exhaled, and fine beads of sweat could already be seen on his forehead.

This is only two thousand levels, which is equivalent to one-fifth, and you can imagine how difficult it will be in the future.

Sure enough, it is not so simple to get the ancient demon inheritance.

Zhou You looked calm and continued to walk up.

At more than two thousand four hundred levels, Zhou You suddenly stopped.

It's not that he can't go on, it's that he received a transmission from the White Crane Daoist through the ban.

"Your Excellency, Your Honor, I may have to stay here."

The White Crane Daoren's voice was a little hurried, and there was also panic, as if he was already facing great danger.

Zhou You frowned and said in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ”

The White Crane Daoist said bitterly: "Your Excellency, you don't have enough comprehension to comprehend the laws of the demonic qi on this door, and you can't do it for a few hours, and there are not many opportunities!" ”

Zhou You was silent for a moment, he couldn't help the White Crane Daoist with this kind of thing.

Because everyone walks on different steps, and the steps that everyone is on have different laws of demonic energy operation.

Even if you travel around and tell the White Crane Daoist the laws of the operation of the demonic qi you have obtained, it is useless.

Can't help him.

After a while, the White Crane Daoist said helplessly: "Your Excellency, I can't go down with you anymore, it doesn't matter if I die here, it's a pity...... If you have the opportunity to go to Nanzhou in the future, I hope that your Excellency will do your best and take care of my descendants, so ...... In the next place, he will die without regrets. ”

Zhou You nodded heavily: "Don't worry, if I go to Nanzhou, I will definitely help your descendants." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

The White Crane Daoist breathed a sigh of relief, and then told Zhou You the information of his descendants, and then he said: "Your Excellency, there is not much time left, the scene where you sacrificed your life to save Yuding will remain in my memory forever, I hope you can go further and further on the road of cultivating immortals, I still have two last chances, I ...... I'm going to try again. ”

After speaking, the White Crane Daoist interrupted the transmission with Zhou You, and wanted to go to the last fight.

Zhou You sighed lightly, feeling a little melancholy in his heart.

Although the White Crane Daoist is only his subordinate, and he has not followed him for a long time, the White Crane Daoist has helped him a lot, and seeing the White Crane Daoist sacrifice like this, Zhou You's heart is also indescribably lonely.

I don't know how long I have to go on this road of cultivating immortals.

I don't know how many more people will die.

Zhou You was powerless to change this ending, so he could only continue to move forward silently.

If you can save the people of Hakutsuru Dao, you will naturally do your best.

But he tried, whether it was a futon or a magic jade, it couldn't be used here.

If you want to save the White Crane Dao people, Zhou You can't do it now.

Zhou You can only pray that in the last two chances, the White Crane Daoist can do it.

But Zhou You also understands that this is just the first black gate that the White Crane Dao people have arrived, so there are nine behind the black gate, and they all want to crack it, how easy is it? (End of chapter)
