I don't know how long it has been, but the whole world is still silent, except for the sound of his feet stepping on the steps.

He was no longer looking for any "change", because after walking for so long, he had not found anything out of the ordinary, only countless steps.

"Maybe there's really no end here?"

As soon as the idea popped up, he vetoed it.

If that's the case, then what's the point of the ladder?

Lao Bai said that this is a creation of the gods, and there are many creations, but now there is nothing but this long staircase. Lao Bai has no reason to lie to him, so it can only be that the place in front of him is too mysterious, and no one can see it clearly, and the way is unknown.

Zhang Linchen continued to walk in this lonely place, and the thin aura around him was absorbed by him, and then flowed into the sea of qi and transformed into spiritual power.

This can be regarded as a kind of cultivation, boring and boring, day after day.

A long time has passed, and the heavens and the earth are still clear and dark, without the slightest change, as if it were like this thousands of years ago.

He wondered if the world in front of him was an illusion, just a picture scroll placed here by some powerful being, and in fact neither the light nor the darkness was real.

After thinking for a long time, he shook his head, these are not things that can be understood just by thinking, he dispersed the cluttered thoughts in his mind and headed for the next step.

In the boundless world, it was very depressing, only the sound of his panting and the "click" sound caused by the collision of heavy footsteps and steps.

Although he had no concept of time here, he felt that he had been walking for at least half a year, intermittently, in a state of rest and progress.

From the beginning of counting the number of steps, he completely forgot how many steps he had walked, and he couldn't count them at all.

He yelled irritably, and after a moment there was no echo, the heavens and the earth remained the same, and the stairs did not change in any way.

Staying in a silent place for a long time really tortures a person's will, and if it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would have been driven crazy.

But he is different, after all, he is used to this kind of life, and he is alone for a lot of time in Lingxiaoguan, so he will find some things to pass the time, such as reading books.

But even so, he was extremely patient, and his heart was restless, bored, and restless. So he just killed all these negative emotions through this roar, and tried it again by the way, of course, the result was nothing.

The only thing to be happy about is that the sea of qi in his dantian is much wider, like a pond, and there is a steady stream of spiritual power flowing into it, becoming more and more abundant.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Linchen took out a Jin Yan fruit and swallowed it in one gulp, which was the fifth fruit he ate.

After the golden flame fruit is in the stomach, it turns into a large amount of essence, flowing along the meridians, replenishing energy at the same time, it is also divided into two strands, one part flows into the sea of qi, and the other part integrates into the immortal seed.

With the increasing life force of the latter, the whole is also approaching perfection, and it seems that some kind of change is about to occur.

Zhang Linchen knew that this was about to enter the next stage of "The Recipe for Longevity", and according to his estimates, it would take some time.

He didn't rush and ate a lot of Jin Yanguo at one time, because he knew that if he wanted to hurry, he wouldn't be able to reach it. Lao Bai also repeatedly explained that if a certain realm is complete and can be promoted, don't worry, you must refine yourself repeatedly, polish your foundation, and it is best to reach a level where you can't enter before you can enter the next realm.

In fact, if you want to go further, you can only lay an indestructible foundation. The high platform is not cast in a day, it needs to be tempered step by step to reach the height that others look up to.

And the same goes for the immortal species, he has a lot of time anyway.

Time flies, he doesn't know where he has been, anyway, his position is always between light and darkness, just like the original platform. He thinks he may have been standing still, otherwise he would not be able to explain the phenomenon.

He once tore a book into countless pieces, and then put one shard at a time, about ten thousand. When the shards were gone, he looked down and there was a scrap of paper on each step.

Then he walked back and forth several more than 10,000 steps, until he sat on the stairs and looked at the many scraps of paper below, and suddenly he realized that this did not prove anything.

At most, it can only mean that there is nothing wrong with these more than 10,000 steps, but what about the others?

Even if he tore up all the books of his jade perry, it would be difficult to solve the problem, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there was not a hint here, just let him climb aimlessly, who knows if there is an end.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and two words popped up, "Trial".

"Yes, since this is a place of trial, there must be something, otherwise how can it be tested?" Zhang Linchen thought to himself.

"But I've looked at every step at the beginning, and I haven't found anything, what is it?" began to puzzle his mind.

He looked around and said in his heart, "It can't be this world!"

He shook his head at the unreachable light above and the unfathomable darkness below.

He didn't want to jump, because according to the information he knew, as long as he jumped, he would leave this world immediately, so wouldn't he come for nothing?

Zhang Linchen sighed, was about to get up, glanced at the white stairs under his feet, and suddenly woke up: "Isn't this that 'thing'!"

If this was the trial itself, then Zhang Linchen was very sure that the ladder existed at the end, but it was too long, and he hadn't reached it yet.

Because he felt that since the gods created the ladder, it was impossible for people to wander around in it and then break down and jump off the abyss to leave, and there must be an end here.

Of course, due to the limitations of his own abilities, the only thing he can think of now is the end of the ladder.

After settling down, Zhang Linchen took a deep breath, the divine skills were operating normally, and he continued to move upwards with resolute steps.

This time, he had a goal, not moving forward fast, but very determined, as if nothing could be shaken.

Along the way, Zhang Linchen seemed to be carrying out an alternative cultivation, alone, alone, walking through this silent and boring world. In fact, the biggest enemy of cultivation is loneliness, and those who have lived for thousands of years have not endured extraordinary loneliness.

As for this ladder with no end in sight, just like a person's life, it may take a long time to end, and maybe you can see the end soon, everything is unknown.

After a period of time, Zhang Linchen still didn't see the end, but he didn't waver in his heart, but continued to move forward.

Gradually, he also had a hint of realization in his heart, which can be regarded as a summary and a change in mentality.

At first, he was an ignorant teenager who had just entered the world, but now, he has a relatively clear understanding of the original world and the cultivation itself, which is very important.

At least he understood what he was doing, how to do it, and what to do next. Once a person has a clear awareness or goal, it will be easier to do things, especially for him.

I don't know when, when Zhang Linchen raised his head again, a thumb-sized thing appeared far above, and it seemed to be a Dao Gate.

His face finally showed a hint of joy, it seemed that he had guessed correctly, this ladder really had an end.

Zhang Linchen stepped on the divine light, quickened his pace, and crossed multiple steps at once. Strangely, after some time, he never approached the door.

He frowned a little impatiently, wondering what was going on, but he didn't know that his relatively calm heart had already set off some waves.

He went on the road again, but the gate was like a star in the sky, out of reach, and no matter how hard he tried and climbed, he never came close.

At this time, he mobilized the spiritual power in his body and struggled forward, thinking that this door might be a projection, or an illusion. But in any case, from the beginning to the present, after such a long and boring journey, nothing unusual appeared on the way, only it, Zhang Linchen saw it for the first time.

He had reason to believe that the door was the end of the stairs, or maybe something useful, but he had to see what it was.

Time passed quickly, and Zhang Linchen sat on the steps with a silent face, with a hint of depression in his eyes.

He didn't expect that, despite all his efforts to approach the door, it still seemed to be standing still, and he didn't know what was wrong.

After a while, he knew that he was in a state of confusion, and when he saw the door, something that might break the game, he became more excited and urgent, and began to rush to achieve something, and even messed up.

Zhang Linchen stood calmly in place, on this narrow step, he actually started to play "Hundred Forging Opera", and it belonged to the night.

The breath is long, the mood is steady, the movements are slow, and the form is sophisticated.

After this set, his head was only slightly sweaty, although he was many times stronger than before Nirvana, but when he was exercising "Hundred Forging Opera", he could still feel tired.

He ate a Golden Flame Fruit, and the feeling of fatigue quickly disappeared, and after a large stream of essence wandered through his body, it directly flowed into the sea of qi, turning into a lot of spiritual power.

And the reason why the immortal seed is not absorbed is because it is already perfect, it cannot hold more, and now it is in a state of gestation, but fortunately it can still play a full role.

Zhang Linchen's face was unusually calm, without any waves, as usual, he walked up with steady steps.

This time, even after a long time, he was still very calm, looking around, hoping to find clues.

Unconsciously, Zhang Linchen didn't pay attention to himself, and when he looked up, a wooden door appeared not far in front of him, a cut wider than the stairs.

The door was mysterious, and when he opened it, he couldn't see anything but darkness inside, and there was no information around it.

"Is this the end?" Zhang Linchen pondered, "What kind of scene is inside?"

Then, he looked at it firmly and said in his heart: "No matter what, just go and see it first!"

He lifted his leg and stepped into the hole.
