Looking at the ninety-nine-eighty-one ladder carved from white jade in front of him, Dugu Cangjue's eyes flashed with excitement.

In fact, for the top cultivators of the Yue Heaven Realm, what attracted them the most was not the various spirit plant treasures in the Immortal Palace, after all, those things, as long as they had enough strength, could still be obtained through other means.

The most precious thing in the entire Immortal Palace, in addition to the Upper Realm Exercises in the Hall of Eternal Life, is also this white jade ladder. As long as every monk who enters the Immortal Palace can get here, he has a chance to step on this white jade staircase.

According to the records of the past classics, this white jade ladder is a trial ladder refined by the ancient immortals to refine the monk's state of mind, as long as you can go to the top to be tested, no matter how far you can go, your state of mind will be improved somewhat.

It is often more difficult for monks to improve their state of mind than to improve their cultivation, and generally the higher their cultivation, the more difficult it is to improve their state of mind, so although many monks have successfully advanced to the stage of transforming into gods, there have been few monks who have successfully ascended for thousands of years.

Many god-transforming monks did not wait to ascend to the Heavenly Tribulation when their longevity was approaching.

If you can't go up in cultivation, the monks can still rely on spirit stones, pills, and all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures to increase it, but their state of mind can't be improved with the help of any external objects!

On the way to cultivation, apart from more experience and more understanding, there are almost no other ways for monks to help them improve their state of mind, so this white jade ladder is very valuable!

For the upper realm exercises, Dugu Cang never had more thoughts, even if he wanted to, he didn't have that strength!

Except for the five people who had the Five Elements Key who could enter the Hall of Eternal Life without going through the white jade stairs, the others had to walk through the eighty-one stairs if they wanted to enter it.

But looking at the records left by all the monks who have come here before, except for a female cultivator named Feng Jinyue who climbed the seventy-three ladders tens of thousands of years ago, no one has broken her record after that.

Dugu Cang definitely doesn't think that his qualifications are against the sky, so don't think about those things that he obviously can't do, it is only right to cherish the opportunity to test the state of mind this time, as for how far and how high he can go, it depends on the will of God!

"This is a test to enter the Hall of Eternal Life, right?" Ning Xin said as she looked at the palace above.

"Yes, if you want to enter the palace above, you have to go through this white jade staircase first, but you have the earth key in your hand, as long as you take it out and hold it in your hand, you can be directly passed inside!"

"You can be teleported in as long as you hold the key?"

"yes!"

"Can I give the key to someone else?"

"When... Of course you can!" Dugu Cangjue looked at Ning Xin with some shock, what does this person mean?

"You take this!" Ning Xin said and handed the yellow-brown key to Mu Ningyi beside her.

"Sister, I can't ask for it, it's yours!" Mu Ningyi hurriedly pushed it away, needless to say, he also knew that the Five Elements Key would be difficult to obtain, how could he take away his sister's chance?

"I can go up, I don't need this!" Looking at the stairs above, Ning Xin's eyes showed a shaky light.

"Uh, that Ning Xin, we all know that your strength is strong, but if you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if, don't you want to think about it?" Dugu Cang said persuasively, thinking in his heart why he didn't have such a sister?

"Even if I don't finish the eighty-one steps, can't Ning Yi still be able to go in?

"Sister, don't you look down on me? Maybe I can also rely on my own strength to complete this ladder?" Knowing that her sister had made up her mind, Mu Ningyi raised her head and said with some arrogance.

"Then it couldn't be better! For a person as talented and intelligent as Ah Yi, how could this little eighty-one staircase not be able to pass, right? But you still have to hold this key, just in case!" Ning Xin said with some amusement.

"That's okay!" Mu Ningyi pretended to be embarrassed, but he took the key very solemnly and put it away.

Hearing the conversation between the two sisters and brothers, Dugu Cangjue felt that he was going to faint, what did these two people think of this white jade ladder, if everyone could pass it, how could the Five Elements Key still attract everyone to scramble?

"You all still have injuries on your bodies, let's climb the stairs when your body improves!" Ning Xin looked at the two of them and said, "I'll go up first to explore the way for you!"

"Sister, slow down, my master said that the longer you stay on the white jade ladder, the faster your state of mind will improve when you cultivate in the future!"

"Okay, I'll climb slowly!" After taking a deep breath, Ning Xin stepped onto the first step.

As soon as she went up, the pressure like the weight of millions of catties of boulders hit her at once, remembering that Ning Yi said that she would stay for a little longer, Ning Xin simply stood on the steps and slowly felt the increasing gravity.

It wasn't until the gravity on the first step stopped increasing that he stepped on the second step and continued his previous movements.

When Ning Xin was still standing on the second ladder, the Night Demon Lord, the Huiyuan Abbot, the Pure Void Dao Monarch, and the Qingfeng Demon Cultivator all came to the White Jade Ladder.

Looking at Mu Ningyi and Dugu Cangjie in front of them, the eyes of the four of them flickered a little, these two people were really lucky, even if they didn't have the Five Elements Key on their bodies, they still arrived here directly!

"I've seen the Demon Lord. Dugu Cang respectfully saluted the Night Demon Lord.

"Cangjue, when did you have such a good relationship with Dao Xiu?" Looking at Mu Ningxin on the steps, and Mu Ningyi who was meditating and cultivating not far away, the Night Demon Lord said with a smile.

"Mu Ningxin once saved my life!" Dugu Cang looked up and returned.

"It turned out to be a life-saving benefactor! I said, how could a person like you disregard his own safety to save others for no reason?" Although he has not found out how the black-headed old ghost and the former ghost sect master died, he believes that he is inseparable from the person in front of him, this is a person full of ambition!

"Yes, for people like me, some basic morality is still understood!" Dugu Cangjie said with a faint smile.

"Why are you still staying here and not going up the White Jade Ladder to try?" asked the Pure Void Dao Monarch.

"We have injuries on our bodies, and we want to go up when the injuries are a little better!"

Hearing Dugu Cangjue say this, the four of them found that he was originally seriously injured, but now he was like a nobody, and his energy was much stronger than before, which made them all a little surprised.

"That's the way it should be, after all, everyone only has one chance, and they have to take care of their bodies first. Jingxu Daojun said with a smile, and then looked at the three abbots of Huiyuan, "Mu Xiaoyou has already gone up, why don't we go up too!"

Looking at Mu Ningxin, who was still on the second ladder, there were some fluctuations in the eyes of several people, and after adjustment, they also stepped on the white jade ladder.

In less than three days, Mu Ningyi and Dugu Cangjue, who were healing their wounds below, saw that the four people who had gone up for a while after Ning Xin had surpassed her, and when she stepped on the fourth ladder, the Night Demon Lord had all gone up to the tenth ladder, and the transformation demon cultivator closest to her was also on the seventh ladder.

"Why is my sister so slow?" Mu Ningyi said with some concern.

"Didn't you ask her to slow down?" Dugu Cang glanced at Mu Ningyi, a little jealous that he had a sister who treated him so well, "This shows that your sister's strength is much stronger than them, so she can accept the test on the white jade ladder for a long time." ”

With the passage of time, after more than half a month, when the injuries on Mu Ningyi and Dugu Cangjue's bodies were basically healed, the gap between the five people on the white jade ladder was getting bigger and bigger.

Walking on the top is the Night Demon Lord, who is now on the forty steps, and the next few steps are the Pure Void Dao Jun, the abbot of Huiyuan and Qingfeng, and the farthest away from them is Ning Xin, who is still staying on the eighteenth ladder.

The first nine ladders are gravity fields, and the gravity will increase with each ladder, but the gravity will not be very strong when you first step on it, but as the time you stay on the ladder increases, the pressure acting on the body will become greater.

As gravity increases, it will directly make the person who stops on the stairs feel suffocated, tired, panicked, and want to escape.

This is a state of mind experience that fights against oneself, how to choose is completely up to oneself, when she stepped on the eighth ladder, Ning Xin reacted, this is not only testing the perseverance of the monk, refining the monk's body, but also tempering the monk's state of mind.

When she reached the tenth ladder, the surging water came from all directions, drowning her in the water in an instant, and before the fifteenth ladder, she was only fighting against the water with boundless power.

But after going up the sixteenth ladder, you will see your relatives, teachers and friends struggling in the water, waiting for her to rescue, but just when they are about to get close to them, they will be swept away by the water, making her constantly struggle in the sea.

Looking at the corpse floating on the water, Ning Xin hugged her head and cried in pain, and once fell into deep self-blame and couldn't extricate herself, if she was faster, would they not die?

On the eighteenth step, Ning Xin stood sweating profusely, but her eyes were clear, "I must not let myself fall into such a desperate situation, I must not!"

After taking a deep breath, Ning Xin stepped on the nineteenth staircase, and in an instant, she was wrapped in raging fire.
