"No, no, this can't be.Zhang Li, you, who are you? You would never have stepped on the six-hundredth stone steps so easily. Xia Zhengming's eyes suddenly turned red, and he roared almost hysterically. At the same time, Xia Zhengming faintly clenched his fists, and the vague killing intent in his eyes flashed.

Zhang Li smiled faintly, and at the same time secretly guarded. His soul power was extremely strong, and he naturally caught the trace of killing intent in Xia Zhengming's eyes. However, Zhang Li didn't speak, nor did he make any stops, and continued to walk quickly towards the stone steps in front of him.

At the moment when Zhang Li's feet were about to fall on the six hundred and first stone steps, Xia Zhengming finally couldn't hold back any longer, and his body moved. He directly clenched his fingers into a fist, and the powerful energy immediately swirled around his fist, forming a sharp fist knife and smashing towards Zhang Li's head.

Zhang Li's eyes suddenly turned cold, and then between the lightning and the stone fire, he retracted the steps he was about to step out, and at the same time, the Tiankun long stick instantly appeared, and the sound of the bell blocked Xia Zhengming's sharp fist knife.

"Sure enough, it is much higher than Zhou Tianshui and Ling Yunzhi. It was just a collision, and Zhang Li immediately judged Xia Zhengming's cultivation strength. Although it only has the sixth layer of the Qi Ding Realm, the ferocity of its strength is not inferior to the powerhouses of the seventh or eighth layer of the Qi Ding Realm.

However, this is still not a problem for Zhang Li. The only thing Zhang Li is afraid of at this moment is that Xia Zhengming must also have an immortal weapon, but he doesn't know what grade of immortal weapon Xia Zhengming has.

As soon as Zhang Li thought of this, he saw that Xia Zhengming had already taken out his 'weapon'!

Sure enough, it's a fairy weapon! A long whip, a long whip covered with spikes all over the body. The moment he saw this hard long whip, Zhang Li suddenly returned to the Wanglong Mountain Range back then, and saw the 'thorn stick' used by Lu Duanming and Lu Peel.

Zhang Li's breath was as cold as an ice cube all of a sudden, and with a direct movement of his mind, Tiankun quickly turned into five forms, forming the strongest 'Five Elements Instrument Array'. Today's Tiankun is no longer the remnants of the past. Rather, it is a mysterious divine weapon that has absorbed the 'immortal energy'. The 'immortal weapon' that Zhang Li had snatched from Ling Yunzhi at the beginning was also absorbed by Tiankun Refining. Today's Tiankun is absolutely unprecedentedly powerful!

'Bang!' There was a loud bang, and the Five Elements Array flew out directly, smashing Xia Zhengming's 'hard whip'.

"Three-grade immortal weapon!" Zhang Li's eyes were cold again, and then he immediately sent a message to Tiankun: "Xiao Kun, destroy this person, you can still devour and refine this immortal weapon." When Xiao Kun heard this, he was immediately excited. From above the Five Elements Array transformed by Tiankun, there was a strange 'humming' sound. And it was endless, and it shocked those Qi Ding Realm cultivators who were watching the battle again.

After the Five Elements Weapon Array collided with Xia Zhengming's Immortal Weapon Hard Whip, it suddenly emitted a strange red glow. The red is purple and even has an extremely surprising 'golden glow'. Immediately afterwards, the Five Elements Array 'boomed', stirring up the spatial cracks, and slammed into the hard whip that was still glowing freely.

An extremely subtle 'click' sound suddenly came. Xia Zhengming's face instantly turned the color of pig liver: "No, no!!"

"Xia Zhengming, your weapon makes me very unhappy. Zhang Li suddenly shouted, and then the 'Nine Hole Emperor Pattern' in his body immediately carried the breath of destroying the world and directly permeated the Five Elements Array, and then a brilliant golden light slammed into Xia Zhengming's body.

Xia Zhengming didn't underestimate Zhang Li anymore, but he still underestimated Zhang Li's strength. Whether it was Zhang Li's cultivation, or the weapons he had, or even the thing that seemed to emit something like an 'imperial pattern', it made Xia Zhengming's head short-circuit for a moment. He felt as aggrieved as he felt. The feeling of being pressed on everything made Xia Zhengming, who had always thought that he was standing at the peak of the 'genius', collapse all of a sudden.

The will collapsed, and the rhythm disappeared in an instant. Then Xia Zhengming's body flew out like a cannonball again and smashed into the small square. Zhang Li retracted Tiankun, without the slightest pity in his eyes. Xia Zhengming at this moment is not dead, not Zhang Liliu. It was Xia Zhengming's immortal weapon hard whip that did save Xia Zhengming's life at the last moment.

"Xiao Kun, take that immortal weapon. Zhang Li suddenly said lightly. As soon as he finished speaking, Tiankun immediately flew out. Almost instantly, it turned into a soft snake and the long whip wrapped around the immortal hard whip.

Xia Zhengming's heart-rending voice immediately shouted again: "No, no, my immortal weapon, my immortal weapon." However, no matter how much he tried to control it, that immortal weapon had been forcibly erased by Tiankun and the imprint of the connection with Xia Zhengming. Today's Tiankun is too domineering. Zhang Li looked at the situation in front of him, and couldn't help but praise the strength of Tiankun in his heart.

When Tiankun flew back into Zhang Li's hands, Zhang Li immediately began to continue climbing the stone steps, and no longer paid attention to Xia Zhengming and the others. And Xia Zhengming was quickly taken away from the small square by those so-called Qi Ding Realm friends.

Zhang Li knew that it had only been more than 70 years since the opening of the Eternal Hanging Cave. If he had spent more time here, he would have been ill-prepared. Zhang Li originally did not have an extremely strong desire to compete. But the death of his mother, and his mother's words that finally let him return to the family, are always like a drum beating in his heart.

Judging from his mother's circumstances and words, Zhang Li knew that his return to the 'Five Divine Beasts' family would be bound to be a lot of hardships and ups and downs. Previously, his cousin Peng Fei's attitude let Zhang Li know that his identity should be extremely subtle. So he had to arm himself first and make himself strong. As a result, Zhang Li's desire to get the 'second immortal' suddenly became unprecedentedly strong.

Although he can also choose to cooperate with a very special group of powerhouses in the Witch Immortal Wasteland, one of the Witch Spirits, Feng Wuman, so as to obtain a sub-immortal. But Zhang Li doesn't want to owe too much favors to others. Moreover, Feng Wuman had already become Yanni's master, which made Zhang Li feel even more that he had to rely on his own ability to obtain this sub-immortal.

With a deep breath, Zhang Li strode forward. He used the rhythm very well, and it only took him a year to reach the seven-hundredth stone steps. Seven hundred stone steps, the strange rebound power gushing out from it changed rhythm, and Zhang Li suddenly felt that the difficulty had increased more than a hundred times.

This time, it took Zhang Jiaozu fourteen years to step on the seventeenth stone step. At this time, there are still 60 years to go before the opening of the Eternal Hanging Cave. Zhang Li didn't dare to delay, and continued to rely on the magic of the Five Elements Divine Wheel in his body, and strode forward firmly.

At this moment, at the end of the stone steps, in a strange stone mansion. The three old men are in the shape of a triangle and sit upright. At the moment when Zhang Li stepped over the seven hundred stone steps, the three old men opened their eyes almost at the same time. The light is sudden, and the bizarre is extraordinary.

"This kid actually has the Five Elements Divine Wheel, which is really interesting. One of the old men suddenly spoke first. He wore a tattered straw hat awkwardly.

"Not bad. This kid is definitely a one-of-a-kind jade, as long as he can cross these thousand stone steps with his own strength within a hundred years, I will take him as an apprentice. The old man in the tattered straw hat also spoke. He had a slightly chubby face, an incomprehensible smile between his words, and no hair at all, and a bald head.

He paused, and suddenly said with some confusion: "But how can I sense that this kid's aura is very similar to the mixture of the missing Demon Venerable and the Demon Venerable? And there is also a strange aura that makes people a little curious. ”

"Hahaha" As soon as the bald old man finished speaking, the last old man suddenly burst out laughing. This old man has a white beard and a waist high. And skinny, black, thin and dry. Wearing a robe, it looks empty. His laughter immediately provoked the bald old man and the old man in the straw hat to turn their heads to look at him in great confusion.

"Xiaoyaozi, what are you laughing at? Don't you want to sit here for tens of thousands of years?"

The white-bearded, black-skinny old man, known as Xiaoyaozi, brushed his beard and continued to laugh: "Of course the old man is not laughing at this. I'm laughing, you want to take the kid on the stone steps outside as an apprentice, and there is no hope left. ”

"Oh, why?" asked the old man in the straw hat and the fat man in the bald head, suddenly surprised.

Xiaoyaozi glanced at the two of them proudly and said, "Because this kid was booked by me a long time ago." Even if he apprentices, he can only worship my Xiaoyao Gu Immortal as a teacher. Hahahaha. ”

"Ah, could this kid be the one you said you said, the stupid boy who saved you?" The two old men suddenly rolled their eyes, and at the same time felt that it was too incredible.

"Exactly, hahahaha. The world is so wonderful. After a big turn, this kid will eventually become my apprentice of the Easy Gu Immortal. I thought that this stupid boy had no good fortune, so that my cultivation and supernatural powers could not be inherited. Xiaoyaozi laughed very loudly.

The bald and fat old man couldn't help but shake his head, secretly feeling a pity. The old man in the straw hat said a little stupidly: "This stupid boy, if he had directly worshipped you as a teacher back then, he might have already returned to the 'True Immortal Realm' for us now." We don't have to sit here all the time to defend the Nine Desolations. ”

"Haha, this kid gave up a great opportunity, and I thought he was really stupid at the time. But now it seems that it is not necessarily. The so-called cause must have effect, and there must be effect. His intermediate experience will surely become a valuable asset for his life. After Xiaoyaozi finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.

The other two old men also looked at each other, and then began to meditate again, no longer speaking.

After another five years, Zhang Li finally stepped on the 799th stone step. It was too difficult, and Zhang Li felt more and more that the changes in its internal rhythm were becoming more and more strange and complex. He was even thinking that even if he could break through to the eighteenth level stone step, the ninth hundredth level and the thousandth level would inevitably take him a hundred years or even longer.

Zhang Li originally wanted to give up. But when I think of Xuanyuan Qing, when I think that I have come to this juncture, it would be a pity to give up again. Adjust his mentality, Zhang Li set off again. This time, it took him twenty-five years to reach the eighteenth stone step. At this time, there are only thirty years left before the opening of the Eternal Hanging Cave.

When Zhang Li once again took five years to reach the 899th stone step, he was finally a little secretly anxious. Then he frowned and pondered for a long time, and then decisively gave up on continuing to study the 'Stone Staircase Rhythm', and instead closed the six senses and allowed himself to jump out of his original thinking, and began to rethink and find other more effective methods.
