The appearance of the mysterious staircase is like a boulder smashing into the slightly rippling water, and it suddenly sets off a monstrous wave and sweeps the world.

In a secret room, there were more than a dozen strong men, and one of them spoke, "What do you think of the mysterious staircase outside the city?"

An old man touched his beard and said, "I just received news that there is more than one such ladder, and there are many other places!"

Someone nodded and said, "I have also sent someone to investigate, some people can touch the stairs, and some people can't." ”

An older man said, "We can't just sit back and wait until we find out what this is, we can send someone to try to climb the ladder first." ”

Some people thought it was inappropriate and said, "No, what if there is any danger, won't it hurt them?"

A big man snorted and said, "It's not for you to go, what are you afraid of? If there are any natural treasures in it, and we don't act in time, wouldn't it be a preemptive step!"

An old man who looked extremely majestic coughed dryly and said, "Okay, we might as well let some disciples climb the ladder first, after all, cultivating them for so long, we always have to make some contributions to the sect." And we don't know the situation on the ladder, if there are really a lot of natural treasures, it will be an opportunity for them. ”

......

In a family-style ancestral hall, many people sat on both sides, and directly above sat an old man and a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man said aloud, "I'm sure you've all seen that staircase that appeared out of thin air, what do you want to say?"

"Big brother, I think this must be someone who is trying to achieve some kind of goal. "There are people down there who are the first to take the lead.

"Those juniors can touch the ladder, but we can't, there must be some kind of condition, does someone want to wipe out the younger generation?" someone speculated.

The middle-aged man at the head nodded and said, "It makes sense, as far as I know, there are many places where there are such stairs, and even people have climbed up, but there is no news." ”

"Holy shit, play all day with these intrigues, let me know who did it, I have to kill him!" someone said grumpy.

When someone below heard this, a trace of disdain flashed in their eyes, and they didn't know if it was aimed at the ladder or the person who said it.

"I don't think it's that simple. A young and handsome man in his thirties said.

"Oh?"

The middle-aged man became interested and said, "Xiaofan, what do you think?"

The man known as Xiao Fan pondered for a moment and said, "I remember seeing in a very old book that this ladder is called 'Heavenly Ladder', which has appeared many times a long time ago, and it is said to be a place of trial, and anyone who goes to the end may become a god. ”

"Become a god?"

The man nodded, "There are only a few words in that book, and I don't know the rest." ”

The old man next to the middle-aged man who had not spoken, his eyes were full of vicissitudes and said: "Send someone to try to climb the ladder first, and then make plans after looking at the situation." ”

The middle-aged man muttered: "Don't worry, first observe how the outside world develops, and then make a decision." ”

......

A month later, on the periphery of the Yang Realm, Zhang Linchen cautiously walked through the colorful and radiant ancient forests.

Many things here may seem beautiful and glittering, but in fact they are extremely dangerous, and they can often swallow a person in an instant, or burn to ashes, leaving no body dead.

Zhang Linchen was extremely careful in every step, according to Lao Bai's words, the horror of the Yang Realm was definitely beyond the imagination of many people, so in order to avoid danger, he must be cautious.

The temperature here intersects in the middle of the Yang Realm, that is, the area of Nirvana, which is much lower, and now with his body, he can completely withstand it.

At this point, he hid in a bush, his eyes staring straight ahead without blinking, his eyes flickering as if he were observing something.

In his sight, there was a small pale yellow tree one foot high, with more than a dozen golden fruits on it, shining brightly, hanging on the branches, crumbling.

This fruit is called "Jinyan Fruit", which is very rare, can heal pain, can also increase blood qi, strengthen muscles and bones, and is a rare treasure of heaven and earth.

Zhang Linchen checked and made sure that there was no danger, so he came to the tree and stretched out his hand to pick all the golden flame fruits, a total of fifteen.

There was a hint of joy on his face, and he then deposited the fruit in the jade pendant that his master Qi Yun had given him, which was originally a storage artifact, but had previously been used for information transmission.

When Wang Wu handled this jade pendant, he had put all of Zhang Linchen's books into the jade pendant, and then he put in a rune stone.

Zhang Linchen also learned how to use the jade pendant by chance not long ago, and the space inside is not small, about ten zhang square. And when he saw a large stack of books and the rune stone, he couldn't help but smile.

It's just that if the stone talisman can be taken out before the tribulation, maybe the green qi of creation will not be consumed so much, but unfortunately all this has been missed.

He looked around for a moment, preparing to leave, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the grass not far away, and then a man's hand was exposed, and there were some bright red marks on it, like blood.

Zhang Linchen frowned, thought for a moment, and decided to take a look at the specific situation. However, in order to prevent any danger from coming up, he took out a piece of armor from the jade pendant, which was the one that Lao Bai used when he trained him.

The mysterious symbol on it is gone, and it was erased by Lao Bai himself, which means that when you wear it, the effect of disabling spiritual power disappears.

The quaint armor was full of heaviness, Zhang Linchen only felt that he only felt that he had a slightly heavier piece of clothing on his body, and as for him, his body was still vigorous and not disturbed too much.

Since he had been tempered by the Heavenly Tribulation, his physical body had risen to a new level, becoming more tenacious, and ordinary iron tools could be pinched into pieces with a single palm.

Lao Bai said that with his current strength, even in the Condensing Wheel Realm, not many people could win against him.

And the Condensing Wheel Realm is the next realm of the Tuomai Realm, and Zhang Linchen feels that he is still some time away from this realm.

He walked slowly forward into the grass, and saw three men of his own age lying here, about seventeen or eighteen years old. Two of the men had fainted, and the other was a woman with her eyes half-open and half-closed, as if she had not fully awakened.

All three of them had serious injuries, and after he examined them, the woman was the least injured, and the two young men had a lot of burnt parts on their bodies.

However, judging by their faces, the reason why they fainted to the ground should be caused by poisoning, and it was also fire poison.

Zhang Linchen learned a lot about medical skills from his master Qi Yun in Lingxiao Temple, which Qi Yun asked him to learn. After all, with his weak physique, coupled with Qi Yun's frequent absence from the Taoist Temple, Wang Wu would also go out occasionally, and he had to take care of himself most of the time, so he studied very hard and quickly, basically inheriting Qi Yun's mantle.

In fact, what Qi Yun values most in this life is not his own strong cultivation, but his convincing medical skills, which Zhang Linchen has heard from his master.

Zhang Linchen took out three golden flame fruits from the jade pendant, he hesitated for a moment, and then stuffed the fruits into the mouths of the three people in turn with a painful face.

Then he gathered his spiritual power at his fingertips to channel the meridians and eliminate the fire poison for them. It took him several hours to complete this set, and the cultivation of these three people far surpassed him, and even though he was seriously injured, it was not something he could easily treat.

"I'm close to them in age, but my realm is so far behind!" Zhang Linchen couldn't help but sigh.

He wiped the sweat from his head, and his energy was quite exhausted, but fortunately, the fire poison in their bodies was almost completely eliminated, but the injuries on their bodies, Zhang Linchen could not heal them in a short time.

The main thing is that he is reluctant to give up Jin Yanguo, he feels that it is already benevolent and righteous to take out three to get rid of the fire poison, and the rest is up to them, and he will take care of it at most.

The woman was about to wake up, but she fainted again after the detoxification process, and now she woke up again, struggling to sit up.

When he saw Zhang Linchen on the side, he was immediately startled, and said vigilantly: "Who are you?"

"I am the one who saved you. Zhang Linchen said loudly.

Hearing this, the woman remembered her injury, she endured all kinds of discomfort in her body, looked at the two senior brothers who were still lying on the ground, unconscious, and asked Zhang Linchen, "My senior brothers, are they okay?"

"They're seriously injured, but I've removed the fire poison from your body, and I'm sure you'll wake up in a while. Zhang Linchen said truthfully.

The woman nodded, thanked her, and then closed her eyes, crossed her legs, and ran exercises to recover from her injuries.

Zhang Linchen looked at her, pursed his lips, and said, "Can you tell me what happened to you?"

The woman's facial features are delicate and very beautiful, she opened her eyes, glanced at the Jin Yan fruit tree not far away, and then looked at Zhang Linchen in armor, and said in a low voice: "We met a fierce beast, the strength is very strong, it spits flames and injured us, at the last moment, led our master to die with it, and my brothers and I were able to escape, but because we were too injured, we passed out here not long after." ”

"The Yang Realm is so dangerous, you should be more careful!" Zhang Linchen frowned.

"Actually, we didn't want to come here, but the master said that this place in the Yang Realm is very suitable for training, so he brought us here, but the result was ......" The woman didn't say anything at the end, and tears were already in her eyes.

Zhang Linchen sighed and expressed sympathy.

After a while, the woman wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Why did you come here?

"Ladder?"

Zhang Linchen showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Subsequently, he learned from the woman's mouth that there was not only one heavenly ladder outside the Yang Realm in the world, but also many, and the number was difficult to estimate. In the more than a month since the ladder appeared, many people wanted to try to climb the ladder, but some of them successfully stepped up the ladder and disappeared, and some could not even touch the steps.

After many attempts, they thought that as long as they did not exceed a certain level, regardless of age, gender, or even race, they could enter, and finally disappear at the end of the ladder.

Also, not long ago, some people who had disappeared on the stairs actually came back unharmed. They claimed to have come to a very inexplicable place, where there were many stairs, and they kept climbing up and down, and there was no end in sight. I don't know how long it took, they couldn't stand such a boring and lonely environment, and they were about to be driven crazy, and then they jumped down the stairs, their eyes went black, and finally returned to their original world.

After listening, Zhang Linchen said to himself with some surprise: "The Ladder World is so extraordinary!"

The woman said with a bitter face: "Originally, after this trip to the Yang Realm, my senior brothers and I were going to try to enter the Heavenly Ladder, but I never thought about it...... But it's so dangerous. ”

After a few more words, the two fell silent and went into meditation until the woman's two brothers woke up one after another.
