Chapter 0368 - Invisible Competition

After Zhang Li understood this, he couldn't help but feel sad for those Nine Desolation Realm cultivators who had always wanted to enter the True Immortal City.

"Brother Xia, it's really amazing, you can actually step on the 499th stone step. A Qi Ding Realm cultivator helped Xia Zhengming up and said politely and flatteringly.

When Zhang Li heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked at Xia Zhengming. He found that although the cultivators next to him were complimenting, Xia Zhengming's face was a little ugly. It seems that he is extremely dissatisfied with his 'results'. Xia Zhengming raised his head and stared at the five-hundredth stone steps in the middle of his waist, with a look of stupidity and unwillingness in his eyes.

Zhang Lisuan saw it. This Xia Zhengming originally wanted to break through the 500th stone step, but in the end, his luck didn't seem to be good, and he only stepped on the 499th level. However, none of this had much to do with him, so Zhang Li quickly turned his head back and stared at the stone steps in deep thought.

After a moment, Zhang Li raised his feet again and stepped on the stone steps. This time, he was extremely cautious, and his divine consciousness followed closely after the feeling of leaving his body. The five elements divine power in the body quickly radiated resistance without hesitation. With the help of divine power, Zhang Li could easily sense the rhythm of the strange power that bounced off the stone steps.

The so-called 'one rule leads to ten thousand laws', when Zhang Li thoroughly studied the power that popped up on the first stone step, he immediately began to carefully study the power that popped up on the second stone step.

Gradually, comparing the two stone steps, Zhang Li seemed to have found a little way. In order to thoroughly study and penetrate, Zhang Li did not slack off at all, and directly stepped on the third stone step. Moreover, when Zhang Li stepped on the third stone step, he also used some tricks found from the first two stone steps.

Sure enough, stepping on the third stone staircase suddenly became extremely easy. As concocted, when Zhang Li continuously relied on his divine power to thoroughly study the first five stone steps, he finally determined some rhythm tricks.

"Hahaha. Zhang Li suddenly stood on the sixth stone step and laughed wildly. Xia Zhengming and the others, who were about to leave, suddenly stopped, and then looked at Zhang Li, who was almost 'extremely difficult' and took nearly half an hour to barely step on the sixth stone step with puzzled expressions!

One of the Qi Ding Realm men was suddenly surprised: "Has this kid figured out the 'rhythm'?"

"How is that possible? Have you ever seen someone who has only stepped on six stone steps and then figured out the 'rhythm'?"

"That's right. Even on our first day, Brother Xia seems to have figured out the rhythm of the twelfth stone steps, right?"

Cultivators, as soon as you say a word, I immediately start to talk about it. But the end result is all the same. That is, they think that Zhang Li will never have figured out the 'rhythm trick'. The reason is naturally clear, that is, Xia Zhengming has used twelve stone steps, and it is impossible for others to be more powerful than Xia Zhengming.

"Let's go, don't look at it. This kid is an outsider, most of them are too slow to go crazy. As soon as one of the Qi Ding Realm cultivators said this, several of them laughed and prepared to leave. But before they could turn around, they all froze there. The expression on his face was wonderful.

I saw Zhang Li, who was originally stagnant, suddenly became brisk at some point, starting from the sixth stone step, and rushed to the third hundredth stone step in one breath.

"##¥, this, this, how is it possible?!"

"It can't be dazzling, right?" Several Qi Ding Realm cultivators were completely blinded. One by one, they rubbed their eyes, completely unable to believe what they were seeing.

Xia Zhengming's eyes were even more 'free', and he was jealous and resentful. As the most gifted cultivator in True Immortal City, how could he possibly tolerate the transcendence of others? Thinking of this, Xia Zhengming immediately moved and began to climb the stone steps again.

"Brother Xia......" The Qi Ding Realm cultivators were taken aback for a moment, as if they wanted to stop Xia Zhengming, but it was already too late.

"Hey, it's going to be at least ten years now. We can't compare to Xia Zhengming, let's go. ”

"Where are you going? How many years have I encountered such an interesting event? If you want to go, you go, but I won't go. The Qi Ding Realm man who helped Xia Zhengming up before pursed his lips, and then immediately sat cross-legged, staring at Zhang Li and Xia Zhengming with taste.

The remaining cultivators glanced at each other, then at Xia Zhengming, and then at Zhang Li, and they also thought it was quite interesting. In the end, they all stayed to prepare to see the bottom. However, they all knew very well that it was said that each of the stone steps above the level of 500 would take at least ten years to climb up.

In the True Immortal City, except for the three terrifying old men who were terrifying and couldn't help but tremble just by mentioning their names, I really hadn't heard of anyone who had completely stepped on the thousand-step stone steps and really bathed in the fairy glow.

Zhang Li saw that Xia Zhengming suddenly began to climb the stone steps again, and immediately guessed his thoughts. This kind of arrogant person often cannot withstand the provocation and transcendence of others. He saw that Xia Zhengming quickly climbed to the 450th stone step, and then his speed slowed down.

Shaking his head slightly, Zhang Li decided not to be affected by it anymore. How many steps he Xia Zhengming has stepped on, he doesn't care about his. Zhang Li now just wanted to hurry to the pillar gate that pierced the sky and see what it was like there, how could Xuanyuan Qing be 'sucked away' by a strange light emitting from the pillar gate?

Thinking of Xuanyuan Qing's safety, Zhang Li didn't think about anything else, and immediately began to thoroughly study the 'rhythm trick' of the 301st stone steps. Sure enough, the difficulty doubled. Zhang Li's heart tightened, knowing that if he wanted to fully step on these thousand-step stone steps, he would definitely not be able to do it without decades.

But it's useless to rush. The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the stone steps under your feet must be stepped on one by one. Fortunately, Zhang Li's soul power is indeed strong, and the original soul of the fifth world, the world of demons, the world of civilization and technology, and the world of the seven realms, the most mysterious soul that has always made any powerful cultivator, including Zhang Li himself, almost unable to see through, also slowly revealed a clue.

In this way, Zhang Li's soul power was like a previously sealed embankment, suddenly revealing a small gap, and a torrent that was not weak gushed out. As the torrent continues to flow out, sooner or later, this entrenched levee will collapse with a bang, and all the floods will fill the sea of souls. At this moment, after Zhang Li concentrated, he felt that the 'rhythm' of the strange force on the stone steps was also many times faster.

And so it was, day after day, year after year. Ten years passed quickly. On this day, Zhang Li had already stepped on the 400th stone step. And he took a glance and found that Xia Zhengming had already stepped on the five hundred and ninety-ninth stone steps. As if he was trapped there, Xia Zhengming was a little 'haggard'.

"Look. That Zhang Li had already stepped on the four hundred stone steps. Brother Xia was still hovering at level five hundred and ninety-nine. Those Qi Ding Realm cultivators who were watching the battle from the sidelines suddenly said in surprise.

"Zhang Li's talent is not weaker than Xia Zhengming's, and he is even ......" Speaking of this, the cultivator who spoke suddenly fell silent. But what he meant was already clear to everyone. That is Zhang Li's talent, even above Xia Zhengming.

When they learned of this result, several Qi Ding Realm cultivators immediately felt their throats roll dry, and their eyes also shot out with jealousy and resentment. Soon, they resigned themselves to their fate. There are some things that cultivators can afford to put down.

"Ten years have not been in vain. Let's see which of them can break through to the seven hundred stone steps first. ”

Zhang Li's brows furrowed, and then as if he was strolling leisurely, he stepped to the 499th stone step with great ease. After staying here for about a year, he took a roar and stepped on the top of the 500th stone step. At this time, Xia Zhengming was still hovering on the 599th stone steps.

It seems that Xia Zhengming has been caught up again. The further you go, the harder it gets. Those Qi Ding Realm cultivators let out a long sigh as they talked.

"If Brother Xia is caught up, according to his character, he will move with killing intent. He could never tolerate others surpassing him. ”

"But this stand is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp. It's been so long, and the Immortal Radiance Holy Realm hasn't moved in the slightest, and it seems that the three seniors have obviously acquiesced to their approach. ”

Soon, another five years passed. Zhang Li had already come to the five hundred and ninety-nine stone steps. However, as soon as he was on par with Xia Zhengming, Xia Zhengming suddenly laughed wildly, and then took a sharp step and stood on the sixhundredth stone steps.

"Zhang Li, if you want to catch up with me, in the next life. Hahaha. I have to say that Xia Zhengming is extremely excited at this moment. When he saw Zhang Li chasing after him, the sense of superiority in his heart became lower and lower. Until his killing intent slowly filled his heart. He had already thought that as long as Zhang Li caught up with him, but he still hadn't broken through to the six hundred stone steps, he would kill Zhang Li.

Although Zhang Li killed Ling Yunzhi and defeated Zhou Tianshui, Xia Zhengming still thought that Zhang Li was not his opponent. Because he Xia Zhengming is much higher than Zhou Tianshui and Ling Yunzhi.

Fortunately, at the moment when Zhang immediately tied him, he broke through to the sixhundredth level. In this way, for him, Zhang Li was slammed behind him for at least fifteen years.

Just when those Qi Ding Realm cultivators who were watching the battle breathed a sigh of relief, they were about to continue watching this invisible 'stepping stone steps' competition, but they were suddenly instantly fixed by a scene they hadn't expected at all, and they froze there motionless. Even the expression on his face froze for a moment. Their worldview in this cultivation realm also seemed to collapse in an instant at this moment.

Because they saw that after Xia Zhengming laughed wildly, Zhang Li suddenly raised his footsteps, and then landed steadily on the sixth-hundredth stone steps. In an instant, Zhang Li's footsteps hit Xia Zhengming's heart like a swift hammer that was still beating excitedly just now.
