Chapter 50: Make a bet
Li Qingming's gaze swept to his side, and at this moment, there were already several monks with weaker cultivation, showing a tired state, and they didn't know what was going on.
I just felt that there seemed to be a strange force in the darkness that was pressing on them, making every step forward, and the footsteps would become heavier.
When they reached the height of three hundred zhang, several monks had to stop, they were already exhausted and panting, their feet were as heavy as lead, and it was very difficult for them to take another step.
At this time, the feeling of oppression between the surrounding heaven and earth became more intense, as if it was enveloping from all directions, and every inch of skin in the body was bearing the oppressive force.
The only feeling of the few people who stopped was tiredness, both physically and mentally, it was unprecedented exhaustion, and this fatigue directly acted on the depths of the soul, and it was not at all a moment of rest that would recover.
Someone tried to take another step forward, but when he just lifted his foot, before he could step out, the whole person's body suddenly trembled violently, and then his body was crooked, and he fell to the ground without warning, and there were wisps of red blood spilling out of his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, although it was not much, but it was also very scary.
For them, the height of 300 zhang is already the limit of what their bodies can reach in the face of this last level of assessment, although until now they don't know what the content of this level assessment is, but there is no doubt that they have already lost at the beginning!
Some people feel that there is no hope of continuing to climb the mountain, so they can only choose to give up and quickly rush to the bottom of the mountain, they know very well that if they are trapped here for too long and their bodies cannot withstand the pressure, they may end up with no chance to escape, and their bodies may be crushed.
Li Qingming looked at these people's difficult choices, and sighed secretly, there is no shortcut to martial arts, just like mountaineering, the higher your will, the higher the height you can reach, without perseverance, how can you achieve anything?
All the way to the position of the mountainside, Li Qingming was always unhurried, maintaining his pace, and from time to time he could see other monks participating in the assessment, rushing from above, thinking that he could not bear the oppression of the mysterious power of the Absolute Sky Mountain, and finally had to choose to give up.
"Sure enough, the mysterious power of the Absolute Sky Mountain is the spiritual will of the ancestors of the Li family, the remnants of this heaven and earth, if you want to climb to the top of the mountain, you must contend with these spiritual wills, otherwise you will be oppressed by those spiritual wills like them, and produce all kinds of illusions......"
Li Qingming has been feeling that those mysterious powers that permeate the heavens and the earth, the higher he goes, the stronger that feeling becomes, until now, he has been able to completely determine that those mysterious powers are the spiritual will of the ancestors of the Li family.
I don't know why, these spiritual wills have gone through endless years, and they have not completely dissipated, but have retained a part of them, Li Qingming guessed that it might be related to the Swallowing Heaven Cave.
Of course, it is still impossible to say what exactly causes this strange phenomenon, and we must personally investigate it before we can make a conclusion.
But there is one thing not to worry, these mysterious powers of the Absolute Sky Mountain do not have much impact on the monk's physical body, it directly acts on the monk's sea of consciousness, oppresses the monk's divine consciousness, and even causes all kinds of illusions.
Those who came down the mountain before felt that their bodies were oppressed and would explode at any time because their divine consciousness was attacked and hallucinated.
"My divine consciousness has reached the peak of the twenty-fifth order, and it is not far from breaking through the twenty-sixth order, if I use the environment of the Absolute Sky Mountain to cultivate, I may be able to break through soon, and even advance by leaps and bounds......"
Li Qingming's divine consciousness was released, surrounding his body, resisting the oppression of the spiritual will of the ancestors of the Absolute Sky Mountain, in this process, his own divine consciousness was also a kind of training, and the barrier that could not be broken through was here.
Thinking of this, Li Qingming's heart moved, and instead of climbing upwards, he found a flat rock belt, sat cross-legged, completely released his divine consciousness, and began to refine the remaining spiritual will of the Absolute Sky Mountain with all his might.
At this time, halfway up the mountainside of the Absolute Sky Mountain, a huge square platform was shrouded in an extremely rich aura of heaven and earth, this was the cultivation secret place of the Li family, and some clansmen who were extremely talented or had contributed to the family would enjoy the privilege of cultivating here for three days every month.
Above the platform of the square, there is a bare cliff, and on the outside of the cliff, a plank road winding upwards is built with bluestone slabs, without any protective measures, and it looks extremely steep from a distance.
The cliff is towering into the sky, and when you stand below and look up, you can't help but feel terrified, and you don't know what it's like to be on it.
On the platform of the square, there are already a lot of people gathered at this moment, and they all know very well in their hearts that further up is the real competition, those cliff plank roads like moats, it is very likely that a large number of monks will be brushed down, and only the most powerful people are qualified to reach the top.
Li Yunfei and Li Qingfeng were standing under the cliff, watching the dense mysterious lines on the stone wall, and their faces showed very solemn expressions, sometimes frowning, sometimes pondering, as if they were feeling something.
Li Pingyao looked thoughtfully at Li Qingming, who was sitting motionless on the rocks, her eyes flickered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Li Yunfei and Li Pingyao are brother and sister, their father is Li Beidou, who is in charge of this assessment, and Li Qingfeng is Li Qingming's half-brother.
On the contrary, Li Rong and Li Fang actually boarded the square platform at this moment, which makes people feel very unacceptable, the strength of the two of them is not too strong, especially Li Rong, who can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the same generation.
The martial arts cultivation of the two of them can barely pass the level, but their spiritual will is too far behind, and they can surpass the others to come here one step ahead of others at this moment, and they don't know what means they used.
"Sister Pingyao, you seem to be very concerned about our waste brother?" Li Rong followed Li Pingyao's gaze and saw Li Qingming's figure at a distance of four or five hundred zhang from the foot of the mountain.
"Heh, it's just boring!" Li Pingyao sneered, then retracted his gaze and looked at the others in the square one by one.
In addition to the nameless direct descendants of the Li family, there are also five descendants of the Li family, two of whom she has a slight impression, and the other three have never seen them.
These three people are all wrapped in black, and the cold temperament exuded from their bodies has a kind of rejection of people thousands of miles away, but in fact, they do rarely communicate with other people, and they are completely using their three people as a small group, and everyone else is afraid that they have already regarded them as potential opponents.
Li Pingyao couldn't see through the cultivation of the other three people, it seemed that they were carrying treasures with a concealed aura, which made people unable to see the depth.
"If Sister Pingyao is bored, why don't we make a bet to play?" Li Rong leaned over to Li Pingyao and said with a smile.
"Oh, what to bet on?" As soon as Li Pingyao heard the bet, he suddenly became interested, and he should be very happy if he won the bet!
"Just bet on whether he can reach the square platform halfway up the mountainside, and the bet is this month's cultivation resources!" Li Rong said.
"Isn't that unfair, the cultivation resources of the two of you don't add up to mine, right?" Li Pingyao pursed his lips, feeling that he was at a loss.
Li Fang rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that it was us who was unfair, okay? However, he naturally wouldn't say this, "I heard that Sister Pingyao has been condensing the Blood Light Shield recently, and it just so happens that the two of us brothers have obtained a Five-Rank Guyuan Pill not long ago, maybe it will be useful to you, Sister Pingyao!"
"Five-grade Gu Yuan Dan?" Li Pingyao was slightly moved, she was indeed only one step away from being able to condense the blood light shield, if she had the assistance of Gu Yuan Dan, she would naturally get twice the result with half the effort, and she could also save a lot of cultivation time.
"Okay, that's it!" Li Pingyao thought for a moment and agreed directly.
"In that case, I'll bet that he can only reach a height of five hundred zhang at most!" Li Rong said, the expression on his face was rather disdainful.
Li Fang was more steady, thought for a while and said: "A few days ago, Li Qingming made a big fuss in the Danxiang Pavilion, I heard that the combat power shown was quite good, and many people were injured, and even the Danxiang Pavilion was demolished, if the rumors are true, then we have to re-evaluate, our brother's strength is wasted!"
"Most of the rumors are alarmist, how can a fourfold cultivator with a refining body be so powerful? besides, he is a cripple, and suddenly he has become a martial arts monk in the fourfold realm of refining the body, and it is not impossible for others to be caught off guard by his sneak attack......
Li Rong sneered and continued: "Besides, it is said that someone saw him in the company of some demons and monsters in a ruined temple outside the royal city, so he was able to cast evil spells and control the blood wolf dog to make trouble in Danxiang Pavilion!"
"This is also true, no matter how high the talent is, in the realm of refining the fourfold body, without a powerful martial art, it is impossible for him to beat so many people, not to mention that he can also control the blood wolf dog, this alone is very suspicious!"
Many people said that they had seen a skeleton of Bai Sensen, sneaking into the yard of other people's houses in the middle of the night, making a lot of noise, and many people were either missing a chicken or a duck......
Thinking of this, Li Fang shrugged his shoulders, pointed to Li Qingming's rickety back at the bottom of the mountain, and said: "Hmph, even if he awakens his talent and his cultivation skyrockets in a short period of time, I'm afraid the foundation will not be very stable, after all, it can't be stabilized in a day or two, plus although his leg disease is cured, he may not be able to recover so quickly, in my opinion, five hundred zhang has completely exceeded his limit......"
