Chapter 271: The Fifth Layer (4k Big Chapters Asking for Subscription)
There were still three steps away from the futon, and various scenes appeared in front of Shi Xiaole's eyes, including mountains, strong winds, and a misty crescent moon.
They correspond to the artistic conception of danger that he comprehended, the artistic conception of the wind and the artistic conception of the lost moon.
This is not an illusion created by the Enlightenment Seed, but its breath hooks a certain area of the human brain, triggering the resonance of three artistic conceptions.
In just such a moment, Shi Xiaole had the illusion that his artistic conception was improving.
"The Enlightenment Seed is really terrifying, no wonder countless people are fighting for it. ”
It is rumored that the Enlightenment Seed grows on a mysterious island closest to the sun in the East China Sea, and a very small part of it floats over from the sea every year.
This is also why, many masters will go to the East China Sea.
It is worth mentioning that the Enlightenment Realm Seed is only useful for martial artists in the Xuan Qi Realm and below.
This is because when you reach the Lingguan realm, the 'essence' of the human body will be nourished by heaven and earth, and at the same time, your comprehension will be greatly increased, and you will also be immune to the breath of the enlightenment seed.
But even so, the Enlightenment Seed is still a wonder in the world, and the few that drift to the mainland every year have been divided up by several major forces. The vast majority of martial artists have never even seen each other.
"It's not safe here. ”
Shi Xiaole forcibly woke up from the joy.
The fork in the road extends in all directions, and someone will come at any time, in case you fall into deep feelings at that time, you don't know how to die.
Reaching out and inhaling, the futon was put into the system space, and Shi Xiaole walked into the fork in the road.
With the passage of time, countless masters of the rivers and lakes poured in, and basically every other distance, the sound of weapons clashing and shouting of killing could be heard.
Shi Xiaole also encountered several waves of masters, but fortunately, he reacted in time and was able to save the day every time.
Those who can rush into the interior of the building, but there is not a single mediocre person, and the four-fold and five-fold masters of idle Xuanqi basically died in front of the stone steps, and more dare not rush in at all.
Here, Shi Xiaole is the group of people with the worst strength.
"You have to find a safe place. ”
Shi Xiaole showed an anxious look, he was afraid that if he delayed any longer, he would suffer sooner or later.
At some point, a staircase made of white stone appeared in front of me, with a total of ten steps, each tens of meters wide, leading to the second floor of the building.
There were a lot of people crawling on the stone stairs, but everyone had cold sweat on their faces and looked extremely embarrassed.
Bang.
The ground exploded with gravel, Shi Xiaole's face turned pale, and he flew backwards, and an old man with a goatee walked out of the fork in front of him, smiling at him, stretching out his hand and punching again.
The terrifying fist of the Seventh Layer of Xuan Qi struck, expelling the air to both sides. Shi Xiaole moved sideways at the fastest speed in his life, but he was still inevitably injured.
"Why did you kill me?"
Shi Xiaole asked. From the opponent's moves, he sensed the killing intent.
"Because you're damned. ”
The old man with the goatee was naturally the one who had been following him.
Previously, because of Ma Jun's relationship, the old man with a goatee did not dare to approach, and later because of the influence of the fork in the road, he once lost Shi Xiaole. Fortunately, God has eyes, and he has mastered a skill of qi recognition, so he finally found the other party.
"Thunder Shock Taiyue!"
The goatee old man's hair fluttered, and his palm power was divided into six silver threads, which twisted like an electric snake and slashed towards Shi Xiaole. What he comprehended was the artistic conception of thunder, and it seemed that the level was not low.
"The light of the sunset. ”
The body retreated, and Shi Xiaole used the defensive move in the Eight Styles of the Eclipse Sun.
It's just that there is a six-layer realm difference between him and the old man with a goatee, and the other party's thunder artistic conception has reached forty percent, and Qingyang's sword qi is only slightly blocked, and it is immediately shattered by the electric snake. The remaining energy poured into Shi Xiaole's body, making his body sore, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Shi Xiaole's expression was solemn.
The first layer is too dangerous, you can meet a master at will, and if you climb the second layer, maybe the situation will be better. So he had to go over the goatee old man.
With a little footstep, Shi Xiaole rushed towards the other party quickly.
"If you want to gamble, hehe, it's stupid. ”
Seeing that Shi Xiaole used the light of the sunset again, in a vain attempt to break through, the old man with the goatee sneered, and raised his hand to slap a heavy palm with thunder and lightning, which was stronger than the previous attack.
To the east, another amazing fist shot out, barely much weaker than the old man with a goatee.
The sword qi shattered, and Shi Xiaole vomited blood, but at this moment, there was an extra projectile in his hand out of thin air, and he threw it at the old man with a goatee.
Boast!
The terrifying explosion was deafening, mixed with blazing fire, and the nearby masters couldn't help but stop.
"Shi puppy, do you dare to sneak attack?"
The old man with the goatee was in tattered clothes, his face was pitch black, and there was blood dripping from his body. In his carelessness, he was almost seriously injured by the wind and thunder bullet.
It's just that, with his perception, he can't detect how Shi Xiaole took out the wind and thunder bomb. And Ma Jun, that idiot, haven't you searched your body?
The wind and thunder bullet was found by Shi Xiaole from a master who attacked him when he was walking with Xu Canghao and the three of them before. Before the other party could use it, he died under his sword.
With the help of the wind and thunder, Shi Xiaole successfully crossed the old man with a goatee and landed on the first step of the stairs. In an instant, the huge pressure hit the joints, making the joints painful, and every time they moved, it seemed to be going through a thousand cuts.
Shi Xiaole didn't take a step, but looked at the group of black-clothed people in the east, his eyes fixed on one of the masked men.
He will never forget these vicious eyes.
Heavenly Evil Sect Demon Disciple, Qiu An.
"You escaped again. ”
The corners of Qiu An's mouth under the face towel were hooked, and he looked at his wristless hand, and the muscles on his face twitched.
He really couldn't hold back just now, and secretly gave Shi Xiaole a look, but he didn't expect to kill the other party. Now he was a little worried, if the other party called out his identity, it would inevitably cause trouble.
To Qiu An's puzzlement and relief, Shi Xiaole didn't say anything, and walked up the ladder silently.
"There are so many masters in the Heavenly Treasure Relic Land, if I kill you here, the righteous path should not be able to find the head of the Heavenly Evil Sect. ”
Qiu An began to vaguely guess Shi Xiaole's thoughts, and sneered disdainfully.
"Right here, I want to take revenge and finish you off with my own hands. ”
Walking up step by step, Shi Xiaole turned his back to the people of the Heavenly Evil Sect, his face was as usual, but the flame of revenge burned in his heart, and even the pain caused by the pressure was reduced a lot.
"Damn, you can't escape. ”
The internal force was blocked by the formation, and the old man with the goatee looked ugly, and finally had to walk to the stairs in the same way. Even if he chased to the ends of the earth, he would kill Shi Xiaole.
It's just that the formation is far more difficult than the old man with the goatee imagined.
He found that under the formation, his power could only operate spontaneously, unable to attack others, and could only resist part of the pressure, and he still had to rely more on his own will.
At least he had just walked two steps, and he was already in a cold sweat in pain. Looking at Shi Xiaole, who was steady, the old man with the goatee was shocked and angry, and the killing intent was even stronger.
In the surprised eyes of many martial artists, Shi Xiaole smoothly walked to the second layer, and his figure quickly disappeared without a trace.
The passage on the second floor is much less than that on the first floor, and it is much quieter, and it is estimated that there are not many masters who have come up. Seizing the opportunity, Shi Xiaole flew through the passage, and pushed a lot of stone chambers in the middle.
In the third stone room, Shi Xiaole found a bottle of rare healing elixir.
Swallowing one, the wound he had just suffered in the hands of the old man with a goatee recovered quickly, and it was estimated that it would heal in a few hours.
In the seventh stone room, Shi Xiaole found a book that described in detail the architectural methods of various sects.
There are probably hundreds of stone chambers, and there are many treasures. Even in some stone rooms, Shi Xiaole also felt the breath of the spirit soldier, but the competition inside was also extremely fierce, and he didn't dare to approach.
"Boy, stop. ”
Even with such caution, Shi Xiaole was still targeted. Eyeing him was a red-haired middle-aged man with seven levels of mystery, and his strength was obviously higher than that of the old man with a goatee.
There are stone steps in all four directions of each floor, and Shi Xiaole swept all the way, dangerously climbing the stone steps to the east, leaving the other party behind.
"You're going to get out of here. ”
Redhead pouts in middle age.
He had tried this level of stone steps before, but he couldn't hold on for a few hits.
This kind of stone step is not a test of talent, but willpower, and he doesn't believe that a hairy boy like Shi Xiaole can be strong.
"Walked up?"
After a moment, the red-haired middle-aged man's eyes widened.
It was not unreasonable for him to target Shi Xiaole. There are only hundreds of rooms on the second floor, and only half of them have things, plus there are more and more martial artists coming up, the competition can be described as very fierce, and a rookie like Shi Xiaole is rare.
After thinking about it, the red-haired middle-aged man turned to leave. He couldn't wait here, and instead of wasting time, he should search for a new target.
On the third floor, more than half of the rooms are missing. Moreover, the aura of the battle was extremely terrifying, and he didn't dare to stay longer, Shi Xiaole rushed to the third stone step, where many people were climbing.
The strength of these people may not be weaker than those who fight, and it is estimated that they are not absolutely sure, so they want to ascend to the fourth layer as soon as possible.
Flawless and thoughtful, Shi Xiaole stepped up the stone steps.
Rumble!
The pressure on this layer of stone steps was extraordinarily great, like the waves of the Yangtze River, and even Shi Xiaole felt like he was struggling. With every step, it was as if countless swords were scraping the bone meridians. The pain was enough to break a man with a steely will.
It can be said that the people who remain on the stone steps so far are definitely ruthless people in the rivers and lakes, not only ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to themselves.
The silver teeth clenched, Shi Xiaole stepped up the ladder step by step, difficult but steady, and after half a pillar of incense, he surpassed everyone in front of him.
"This kid?"
"There is. ”
Those people raised their heads, and their eyes were different, some admired, some jealous, and some thick cold. The treasures of the first three layers are so precious, and the fourth layer is still available?
When he ascended to the fourth floor, Shi Xiaole was soaked in sweat, as if he had collapsed.
However, it was this pressure that caused his body to accelerate the absorption of the poison, and the purple in his skin faded and became white and rosy again.
The mood did not relax, but became more vigilant, Shi Xiaole's breath was restrained, and he ran quickly in the passage.
The Jianghu people who can go to the fourth layer have a strong will, but their strength is definitely far superior to others. After all, not everyone is like him, the fusion of the souls of the two worlds has caused the will to be many times tougher than ordinary people.
Sure enough, it seems to be quiet here, but in fact it is full of murderous opportunities.
Several times, the fluctuations caused by the collision of several masters shook Shi Xiaole's qi and blood, and he was almost seriously injured.
In the nearest stone room, Shi Xiaole found a scroll, put it into the system space without thinking about it, and quickly swept towards the stairs.
Not long after he left, a master arrived, and the momentum exuded from his body was like an abyss, making people's hairs stand on end, almost suffocating.
This is a Lingguan Realm master.
The fourth staircase is different from the first three floors, only one on the east side, and there is no one on it for the time being.
It took a full two hours, Shi Xiaole almost crawled to the fifth floor, and the sharp pain from his will made him feel like he was being Ling Chi when he exhaled.
It took him some breathing before he recovered.
"Why are you stopping me from making a move?"
"If we can't go up, wouldn't it be easier to wait for him to come down and take what he has from him then. ”
In the fork next to the fourth layer of stone steps, two people walked out, a man and a woman, the man was wearing a green robe, and the woman was wearing a lily pleated skirt, and she was also a master of the Lingguan Realm.
There is only one passage on the fifth floor, and it is set inside the open stone chamber, and there is a stone monument in front of it.
"I cherish talents all my life, I am not a swordsman, and those who have distracting thoughts in my heart, do not enter the passage, you can go downstairs from the secret side ladder, and there is no danger. ”
The words on the stele are like a sharp sword, stabbing people's eyes. Even the Qingfeng Sword was infected and emitted a high-pitched sonorous sound.
"What a profound kendo artistic conception. ”
Shi Xiaole's heart throbbed. If you guessed correctly, these words should have been carved by the Marquis of Tianbao Sword in the past, but it is hard to imagine what kind of realm the other party has reached.
In front of the stele, there were five large boxes, covered with dust, and it seemed that Shi Xiaole was the first person to come to the fifth floor.
"Xuanjing!"
The contents of the box made Shi Xiaole's heart beat wildly, and all the Xuanjing stones, roughly estimated, were no less than three thousand.
Three thousand spar stones, for a master of the wind and dust list like Tianbao Sword Hou, is not worth mentioning, absorption is equal to no absorption. But for Shi Xiaole, it is an indispensable wealth, which is enough to make him improve his skills!
Quickly put away the five large boxes, Shi Xiaole was about to cross the stone tablet and enter the passage, when suddenly his heart ached and he had to retreat.
"I have distracting thoughts. ”
Thinking of Qiu An's figure in his mind, Shi Xiaole knew the reason, but the flame of revenge in his heart couldn't be suppressed.
After a long silence, he suddenly walked to the east of the stone monument.
There was a spiral staircase there, which was very hidden, and it seemed that it could lead all the way to the bottom floor, but the masters of each layer turned a blind eye to this, obviously blinded by the formation.
This should be the side ladder that the Heavenly Treasure Sword Marquis is referring to. Maybe the other party anticipated today's scene and specially left it for the so-called 'cherishing talent'.
"Perhaps, I can take revenge first and then come back. ”
A bold thought rose in his mind, Shi Xiaole's eyes were cold, and he turned around and walked back to the stone steps.
The formation on the stone steps was very strange, Shi Xiaole could see the fourth layer on the fifth layer, but the people on the fourth layer couldn't see him.
Therefore, he decided to improve his strength here, and then use the side ladder in the stone room to go down and kill the enemy without realizing it. And once someone comes up from the stone steps halfway, they can also react in advance.
