As Xiao Jian took one step, the scene in front of him suddenly changed drastically. And in the dark world, suddenly a towering mountain appeared, and an endless path paved with stone slabs ran up the mountain, I don't know when it was built, and I don't know where it leads. The mountains are full of flowers, green trees, and all kinds of birds walk in the forest to shuttle, frolicking and playing, and it is peaceful.

"Could it be that the first level is so simple, just climbing the mountain road?" Xiao Jian thought to himself, and raised his feet and walked towards the stone steps.

Just stepped up the first steps. Xiao Jian felt a huge force rushing towards him, as if he was about to knock himself to the ground all of a sudden. Xiao Jian was shocked, and quickly grabbed a small tree on the side of the road to stabilize himself.

Sure enough, it wasn't as simple as I thought, this was still the first step, and I almost let myself go. Xiao Jian froze, raised his feet and walked towards the second step.

Another strong force struck, this time it was even greater than the thrust encountered when he climbed the first step, and it continued to act on Xiao Jian's body, as if there was a person standing in front of Xiao Jian, trying to push him back from the second step. Fortunately, Xiao Jian had accumulated experience on the first level, and when he stepped on the steps with his first leg, he had already reached out and grabbed a protruding rock on the side of the road, and only after his body was stable did he slowly move his second foot to the second step. Sure enough, after slowing down the speed and adopting the method of going up one leg first to stand firm and then getting on the other foot, although the thrust acting on his body did not weaken by half a minute, his body was obviously much more stable.

But before Xiao Jian could wait for long for his little trick to be proud, when his feet landed on the second step at the same time, a sudden gravity suddenly applied to his whole body, as if someone had suddenly draped a set of armor weighing hundreds of catties on his body, and he was suddenly overwhelmed. The sudden change in strength caught Xiao Jian off guard, and his body staggered, almost falling to the ground. In a panic, Xiao Jian hurriedly took a step forward and stepped towards the third step. As soon as Xiao Jian's feet touched the bluestone slab of the third step, the pressure on his body suddenly relaxed, and the burden on his body disappeared without a trace in an instant. "It turns out that you can only move forward, and you can't stay on the same steps. Xiao Jian immediately understood the mystery: as long as his feet did not stay on the same steps at the same time, he would not be tortured by the gravity that almost crushed people into meatloaf. Although the reverse thrust you have to endure when you climb the third step is much greater than when you climb the second step, as long as you react quickly enough to catch the rocks and trees on the side of the road at the first time, and stabilize your body in time, there is still a big problem.

Xiao Jian, who understood the key to it, no longer stopped, but hunched his waist and continued to climb up step by step. The reason why he had to bow his body instead of straightening his waist was not at all because Xiao Jian wanted to find out any gold and silver treasures from the bluestone slab of the steps, nor was it because there were any island eyebrows engraved on the bluestone slab of the steps, but because this could reduce the force area, which could make him feel more comfortable and relaxed.

Although Xiao Jian soon came to the ninety-eighth step, it was not easy to walk along the way. Not to mention that several times he almost didn't stabilize his body, and was pushed down the steps by the force of the increasingly powerful counter-thrust, but several times on the way, because he didn't have time to look closely, he grabbed the thorns covered with spikes, which had already made his palms bloody and blurry. At this time, Xiao Jian was no longer walking with a hunched waist, in order to alleviate the huge thrust force from the front, he was already using his hands and feet at this time, and the whole person was crawling on the steps. The bright red blood on the palm of his hand left shocking marks on the steps, and the pain in the heart not only did not make the palm numb, but made the feeling of Xiao Jian's hands clearer. Xiao Jian didn't dare to stop for a moment, even if he climbed slowly, he had to keep moving forward, because as long as he paused for a moment, the suffocating pressure would come immediately, and it would become bigger and bigger. Xiao Jian had no doubt that as long as he stopped, even if it was only for ten minutes, the increasingly strong overwhelming pressure would definitely crush him into a piece of meatloaf in an instant, and even the bones would be shattered together!

"It's the ninety-ninth step ahead, so I guess I can take a breather. Xiao Jian thought silently in his heart. For he had clearly seen that after ascending the ninety-nine steps, there was a huge platform above, but the platform was surrounded by clouds and mist, and nothing could be seen except for the white expanse.

Xiao Jian gritted his teeth, tried his best to stretch out his hands and lay on the bluestone slab on the ninety-ninth step with difficulty, and at the same time desperately pressed his feet against the steps behind, moving his body forward little by little, yes, it was like this, little by little, seven also moved forward. Even though his body was completely attached to the ground, the force of the thrust that was surging like a tide still acted on his head, shoulders, and hands, and it was as if he was carrying a large truck full of goods up the hill with his head and shoulders, unable to stop, let alone retreat.

Just like that, first his head rested on the stone slab of the ninety-ninth step, then his chest, waist, and finally his legs were all placed on the bluestone slab of the ninety-ninth step. Finally came up, Xiao Jian let out a long breath, and the whole person lay on the table like a dead dog, not wanting to move. Because at the moment when his feet completely reached the ninety-ninth step, the inexplicable and wonderful force of the reverse thrust disappeared without a trace, and at the same time, there was also the weight that made Xiao Jian even more terrifying. Instead, there was a colorful auspicious light that came out of the heavy clouds and mist, and this colorful auspicious light shrouded Xiao Jian's whole person, like a huge colorful silkworm cocoon.

Unconsciously, the wounds on Xiao Jian's hands and body from crawling on the ground had all healed. The Yuan Force that had been lost from time to time when climbing the steps had also been quickly replenished under the illumination of this colorful auspicious light, and not only that, but the Yuan Force stored in the dantian seemed to have increased a lot compared to before.

"Is this the first level?" After a long time, Xiao Jian slowly stood up from the steps, and muttered to himself after his whole body had been scraped out of many holes by stones, torn clothes, and muttering to himself.

Looking up at the road from which I came, the stairs behind me had long since disappeared, replaced by clouds that were exactly the same as in the other directions.

Xiao Jian raised his head and looked around, a thick cloud and mist shrouded everything, and he couldn't see anything except the bluestone slabs within a few feet around him. "Since there's no turning back, let's keep going. Xiao Jian hesitated slightly, then raised his feet and walked towards the depths of the clouds.

The clouds around him became thicker, and he couldn't even see the road under his feet. Just as Xiao Jian took a step and tentatively moved forward, there was a sudden "instigation" sound, and a small flying knife grazed his cheek and flew over, and the strong wind brought up by the flying knife blew on his face, and it was still cold.

"It's dangerous. Xiao Jian's heart jumped suddenly, if it weren't for his luck, the flying knife just now, I'm afraid he would have broken his appearance. I didn't expect that in this thick cloud and mist, there was even a hidden killing machine! I couldn't see anything, and I didn't even notice where the flying knife shot from just now. It seems that you have to be 100% energetic. Since the eyes can't see, everything around you can only be judged by hearing. Xiao Jian waved the long sword in his hand, cheered up his spirit, continued to move his steps slowly, and cautiously groped his way to continue to walk forward.

"Huh", "Huh", "Huh", three more sounds of breaking the air sounded, and three iron pills the size of mother and child shot from the left front. Xiao Jian's heart tightened, and he quickly shook the long sword in his hand, picked up the three sword flowers, and handed them over in the direction where the sound came from, only to hear "ding", "ding", "ding", "ding", three crisp sounds, and three iron pills fell to the ground. However, the force of the shock from the sword made Xiao Jian's arm slightly numb.

"It's so powerful. Xiao Jian said secretly in his heart. He didn't care about the iron pill that fell to the ground, but continued to move lightly, groping forward.

"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh...... There were a few more soft sounds, and I don't know what it was, but this time the attack was all from behind me!

Xiao Jian heard a strange sound behind him, turned around suddenly, and danced the long sword in his hand rapidly, forming a sword net, and after another sound of gold and iron clashing, all the things that came from behind fell under his feet - it turned out to be seven or eight small swords with three or four inches of long medicine that were abnormally sharp!

After shooting down all these small swords, it was only a dozen steps forward, Xiao Jian heard a sound of breaking wind from all directions, and this time it was attacking him from all directions at the same time. Xiao Jian's heart froze, and he immediately retracted his steps, without hesitation, the family heirloom Lingyun Sword Technique suddenly unfolded, and the long sword in his hand danced out of a dense light curtain like mercury leaking to the ground, enveloping himself in it tightly, only to hear a sound of clanging bells constantly sounding, like a symphony with a cheerful rhythm.

When the last line of light sounds disappeared, and the latter hidden weapon was also knocked to the ground in his hand, Xiao Jian put away the sword in his hand, and let out a long roar from the sky, and a sense of pride rose from his heart. I didn't expect that in just a few minutes, I would raise my Lingyun Sword Technique to an unprecedented, freewheeling new realm. The sword goes as it wishes, and the moves come out of the will, completely free from the constraints of the inherent moves in the sword spectrum, this is the realm of Lingyun's swordsmanship! I didn't expect that the breakthrough in the inner method in the stone house before would make my swordsmanship rise and reach a new realm.

Stopping the whistling, Xiao Jian looked around, the dense fog around him had all dispersed, and it was the same five-colored auspicious light as before, falling from the sky, enveloping Xiao Jian in it - I didn't expect the second level to pass so easily.
