Chapter Twenty-Eight
He Ding walked in with Mantu and found that the figures surrounding the entrance of the stone steps were all demon cultivators, including lions, tigers, gray leopards and other fierce demon cultivators. After noticing that someone was approaching, many demon cultivators smelled the smell and turned their heads one after another, staring at He Ding and the two of them with dozens of pairs of eyes that were like night pearls in the dark night.
He Ding chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, there were dozens of demon cultivators in front of him! And it looked stronger than the brute diagram, He Ding looked at the brute diagram beside him, only to see that his big eyes also revealed a fear from instinct, and his body trembled slightly.
After all, these demon cultivators were all beasts that preyed on the tame herbivores like Mantu before they cultivated to the righteous path.
"Human, what are you doing here?" a tiger demon cultivator spoke, his voice was low, a low roar came out of his throat, and a pair of glowing eyes stared at He Ding.
"I? I...... Of course, the purpose of coming here is the same as you!" He Ding plucked up his courage and replied loudly.
"I see that you are an immortal cultivator in the foundation building period, an immortal cultivator, what are you doing when you join Niuqi Mountain?" said the Tiger Demon Cultivator.
"This is not the place you should be. The leopard demon cultivator next to him also spoke.
He Ding's heart sank, and he said that he didn't expect them to reject him so much. I was originally a little resistant to Niu Qishan, but I didn't expect others to resist me even more. He Ding thought about it carefully, Long Li is also half human and half dragon, and he also has a human appearance, if he can join Niu Qi Mountain, why can't he be?
"Who stipulated that people can't join Niu Qi Mountain?" He Ding could only say hard at the moment.
"Of course......" Tiger Demon was about to retort, but was interrupted by a voice.
"There is no such rule in Niuqi Mountain, as long as you can pass the mountain entry test, no matter who you are, you can join Niuqi Mountain. A rather magnetic voice came from behind the demon cultivators, and the demons dispersed, and He Ding saw a table and chair next to the entrance of the stone steps, on which sat a white-haired ape.
He Ding was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that someone had finally helped him speak, so he hurriedly asked, "May I ask how to pass the mountain trial?"
The white-haired ape stretched out his finger and pointed to a boulder beside him, on which were written in vermilion pen and ink with the two big characters "Qi Dao". He Ding looked at it and was shocked by the big characters, and every stroke on the words faintly revealed a trace of mystery.
Gido!
"If you can go up to the 50th floor of the road, you will be considered to have passed. The white-haired ape said.
"It's that simple?" He Dingxin said, isn't it just a matter of walking the steps, isn't it easy to walk on the fifty floors?
"Hehe, humans are indeed frogs at the bottom of the well. The Tiger Demon Cultivator on the side sneered, "There is a ban set by Kui Niu Ancestor himself on this road, there are a total of 100 steps, and those who walk on it will be under the weight of the prohibition, and each layer will be aggravated by one point." The degree of stress will vary according to different people's cultivation. Ordinary people can't even go up to the 30th floor, let alone the 50th floor, do you really think it's as easy as a child climbing the stairs?"
"Hmph, ridiculous. The demon cultivator on the side echoed.
He Ding obediently closed his mouth, but Tiger Demon Xiu's words told him a lot of information, which was worth thinking about carefully. He looked up from the bottom of the road, and found that under the dim light, there were many dark shadows slowly wriggling on the road.
He glanced among the demon cultivators again, and found that there was no familiar figure.
"Long Li, he should have already ascended the Qi Road. He Ding couldn't help but see the strange boy with fiery red hair in front of him.
"If you two are thinking about participating in the mountain trial, come to me and report your name. The white-haired ape pointed to the booklet on the table.
He Ding glanced at Mantu, patted his hand, and said, "Let's go, Mantu." ”
Mantu was still a little nervous at the moment, he nodded stunnedly, and followed behind He Ding. The demon cultivators made a way, and He Ding came to the white-haired ape.
"Name?"
"He Ding. ”
"Brute picture. ”
"Realm?"
"The foundation is in the middle stage. ”
"The early days of Tongzhi. ”
He Ding remembered that Zhou Lu said that the enlightenment period of demon cultivation corresponds to the enlightenment period of human beings, and in this realm, demon cultivation can truly understand spiritual wisdom and be able to walk and speak like human beings. Mantu is a realm higher than He Ding, and it's no wonder that his strength is so great.
"Today's trial is over, and you will not be able to ascend the path until tomorrow. The white-haired ape wrote the names of the two men fluently on the booklet, and he did not know whether he had taught himself or someone else to write. He Ding glanced at it, and sure enough, he saw the word dragon glass on the booklet.
He Ding nodded, looked at the many black shadows climbing upwards on the Qi Dao, and asked, "Did these people climb the Qi Dao today?
The white-haired ape also turned his head to look at Qi Dao and said, "There is a guy who has already walked through the fifty floors, but he is still walking upwards, and I don't know how many floors he can reach in the end." ”
A goat demon cultivator next to him also nodded and said, "When I came, I happened to see that kid, he actually walked up to the forty floors in one breath, and he was extremely violent, scaring everyone a lot. ”
"That person has already climbed to the fiftieth floor, I don't think he has any difficulty, I'm afraid that he can climb the seventieth floor more than that, and he is the only one at the top of this mountain trial. "All the demon cultivators discussed this guy who had climbed to the fiftieth floor.
"It is said that after climbing the fiftieth floor, Niuqi Mountain will provide some rewards, after the fiftieth floor, the higher you climb, the richer the reward, I don't know if it's true or not?"
The white-haired ape smiled, neither denying nor admitting it.
"I heard that the record of Qi Dao was held by Na An Zai'er, who surpassed Elder Jiaolie's record of maintaining the eighty-third layer back then, and ascended to the eighty-third layer, which can be described as a sensation in the cultivation realm. Later, An Zai'er cultivated to the late stage of transformation within a hundred years, and he was the best among the previous generation of demon cultivators. ”
"An Zai'er's talent is really terrifying, and it is no better than that of those contemporary Tianjiao of mankind. I'm afraid that the talent of the kid who climbed to the fiftieth floor this time will not be much worse than An Zai'er, it's really terrifying. ”
"That kid seems to be called a dragon or something, I think he can climb to the seventieth floor without accident this time, but it's still difficult to break the record of An Zai'er. ”
Hearing the discussion of several demon cultivators, He Ding's eyes widened slightly, and he said to himself: "The person who passed the trial is actually Long Li, I have long thought that he is not an ordinary person, I didn't expect him to be so powerful!"
The Tiger Demon Cultivator glanced at He Ding contemptuously and said, "I see that dragon glass has a pair of horns on his head, he must be a descendant of the ancient dragon clan, and he has a bloodline to pass it on, and his talent cannot be bad." And you, an ordinary human in the foundation building period, want to climb to the fiftieth floor? Hmph, foolish dreams, it's better to leave as soon as possible, don't be embarrassed here. ”
"With his small body, I don't think it's easy to climb to the thirtieth floor, and maybe he will be blown away by the ban of Qidao, hahahaha. ”
"If you want to climb the Qi Path, physical strength and talent are the most important. How can a human being compare to us physically?"
Listening to the cynicism from many demon cultivators, He Ding pursed his lips tightly, and a flame rose in his chest. He couldn't help but clench his fists, but after a short analysis, he decided to endure it for a while.
After all, there are a lot of them.
"You all think I can't do it, then I'll prove it to you tomorrow! These fifty layers, I'm determined!" He Ding's eyes swept over the faces of each demon cultivator, he wanted to remember their faces of contempt for him now, and then give each of them the strongest blow tomorrow.
For the first time, He Ding is so desperate for tomorrow.
"My friend, don't listen to them, I believe in you, you will be able to climb to the fiftieth floor. Mantu cheered He Ding on the side.
"Thank you. He Ding nodded.
The two of them found a remote open space and sat down, ready to rest on the spot for tomorrow's trial in the mountains.
"Ahhh
A scream suddenly sounded in the night sky, and He Ding immediately looked up at Qi Dao. He squinted his eyes and vaguely saw a black shadow surrounded by red light flying down from the Qi Dao, landing steadily at the entrance, the red light around the black shadow suddenly disappeared, and many demon cultivators surrounded it.
He Ding took advantage of the dim light to see through the gap in the crowd that the black shadow flying down from the Qi Road was an elk demon cultivator. The elk fell to his knees, beat his chest, and cried, "Ahhh!!hh
The demon cultivator next to him couldn't help but sigh, "It's the second time he's participated in the mountain trial, the last time I saw him climb the forty-fourth floor, this time he made some progress, but he still didn't pass the trial, it's a pity." ”
"So, he's been cultivating for ten years, and he's only improved by one layer?"
"Not really. The demon cultivator waved his hand, "Dengqi Dao has nothing to do with the level of strength, the stronger you are, the stronger the pressure on you from the ban, if he comes back next time, it is estimated that this result will still be the same." ”
"On the Qi Road, as long as you take a step back, you will be banned and automatically sent out. ”
He Ding looked at the elk demon cultivator and left this place with gloomy eyes, and his heart was a little apprehensive about tomorrow's trial. If you can't climb the 50th floor, you will be disgraced.
"Tomorrow I will go up to the fifty floors if I say anything!" He Ding secretly made up his mind, and then slowly closed his eyes, he began to absorb the aura of Niu Qi Mountain, in order to further broaden his Dan Sea, refining his true qi.
The surroundings gradually quieted down, and many demon cultivators also entered a state of meditation, preparing to meet tomorrow's trials in the best condition. The demon cultivators on the Qi Road were still trying to move forward, but the night gradually swallowed their figures.
