The huge sea of clouds seemed to have no bounds, and the clouds and mist in it were so thick that it was impossible to see what was inside.

There is a very huge pressure in the floating sea of clouds, and even walking under the clouds requires a lot of mana to support, and the edges of the clouds are constantly churning and surging, as if they are hidden in the world-destroying beasts, which are constantly tearing apart, trying to break out of the clouds and be reborn.

The closer you get to the clouds, the more barren the ground becomes, and there is no grass growing at all, and below the clouds is a wasteland, hundreds of miles wide, on which there is no life forbidden, and you can't feel the slightest breath of living creatures.

On the black-brown ground, facing the direction of Zhu Jiu and others, there is a quaint bluestone platform, the stone platform is the size of a mile, more than 100 meters high, giving people a sense of desolation, solemnity, and heavy depression.

At this time, the group had come to a distance of more than 100 meters from the stone platform, and there were steps under the stone platform leading directly to the top of the stone platform.

The whole stone platform and stone steps are undecorated, square, and extremely simple, and it seems that it was only built to ascend to the top of the stone platform, so it does not need to be beautifully carved, and it seems that time is in a hurry, and the stone platform is not finished in a hurry, which makes the stone platform seem to be incomplete, as if the finishing steps in the later stage are missing.

The team came to the bottom of the quaint stone steps, and without pause, they went straight up the stairs.

When Zhu Jiu stepped up the stairs, he used dark strength under his feet, wanting to test the sturdiness of the stairs, but he didn't think of a slight force, and the stairs suddenly clicked softly, cracking a gap.

The Yaksha ghost clan warrior next to him saw Zhu Jiu's actions and said softly:

"There is one such stone platform in each of the three directions of this wasteland, as if it was specially set up for our three races, one for each race. The inside of the stone platform is carved with some kind of mysterious formation rune, although you can easily destroy it, but soon the damaged position will be repaired by the mysterious force, and slowly return to its previous appearance, even if the stone platform is completely destroyed, it will also draw strength to repair its body, and finally become the same, you don't have to waste your efforts. ”

Zhu Jiu nodded silently, and followed everyone to the top of the stone platform, there was still no fancy decoration above the stone platform, it was a simple platform, only there was a raised pedestal in the middle of the large stone platform, which was slightly different.

After taking the stage, the crowd walked towards the pedestal in the center of the day, and no one spoke in the process.

The bluestone pedestal is raised to the ground with a person's height, more than ten meters in size, and is square, except for the dust, there seems to be no other special place.

Zhu Jiu watched quietly, and at this time, the leader of the ghost clan, the high priest, that is, the old man of the ghost clan who was secretly called the old god stick by Zhu Jiu, sighed softly, walked to the bluestone pedestal, and slowly took down the bone bracelet full of treasures in the internal space from his wrist.

The old fellow looked reluctant, but he took things out of the bracelet one by one and placed them on a pedestal-like stone platform.

Every time he put something on the stone platform, many small and trivial cyan symbols suddenly burst out on the platform, and these symbols wrapped around the things placed on the platform, and then the light flashed, and the things sacrificed on the stone platform disappeared without a trace.

Every time I saw the light on the stone platform flickering and disappearing, the old guy standing on the edge of the stone platform and putting things on the platform would grunt, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, showing that he was very reluctant to sacrifice something.

After taking out something and putting it on many times, this old guy seemed to be getting more and more angry, and when he put something on it, he couldn't stop cursing, and put something to scold a ghost native language, and his mouth frothed!

Later, the muttering and cursing continued, and the light on the stone platform continued to light up.

When the old man's face was pale, and even the hand that placed the sacrificial items on the stone platform trembled slightly, the blue light symbol that absorbed and devoured the treasure became more and more bright, gradually forming a cylindrical light, extending towards the sky, and gradually echoing the sea of clouds that covered the entire sky.

Zhu Jiu always stared at the treasure that the old guy kept taking out of the bracelet, and saw the mysterious changes in the huge clouds in the sky, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The old guy's bracelet has a few things that Zhu Jiu covets, although he may not be able to get it if he puts it in the old guy's place, but it is much stronger than sacrificing it and not having a trace of hope, but fortunately, he has never seen these things sacrificed out of the gang.

At this time, the violently churning clouds in the sky and the pillar light on the stone platform below finally connected, and the clouds rumbled loudly, and the edges began to churn and change, and finally condensed into a staircase form composed of clouds and mist, extending downward.

The clouds and mist became thicker and denser, and the stairs that extended down became clearer and more solid, and finally, the stairs extended to a length of thousands of zhang, falling from the sky across the void, and the edge of the stairs was firmly rested on the stone platform on which everyone was standing.

At the moment when the stairs and stone platforms that fell from the sky touched each other, a huge thunderclap suddenly sounded in the distant sky, and there were raindrops the size of beans, sprinkled all over the sky, and for some reason, there was a sad atmosphere filled the sky and the earth.

Seeing that the stairs in the sky were finally connected to the stone platform, the old guy of the ghost clan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately put away the bone bracelet on his hand, it seemed that there was still some stock in it, Zhu Jiu glanced at it quickly, and saw that the old guy put the bracelet back on his wrist.

This old man turned back to Zhu Jiu and the others and said:

"We have to go up this ladder, and in the sea of clouds at the end of the ladder is the Ancient God Mountain. According to past experience, we may face danger from the beginning of climbing the ladder, but not every time, sometimes we can reach the top of the sea of clouds without making waves all the way, and sometimes we will be attacked as soon as we step on the ladder. ”

The old guy turned his head to look at Zhu Jiu and another pair of men and women, and said with a smile:

"The dangers that will be faced are particularly dangerous for the people who live in this land, so it takes three people to clear the way, and I don't know who will take the lead?"

The two men and women glanced at each other, and then turned their eyes to Zhu Jiu together, which was a bit threatening, obviously wanting Zhu Jiu to take the lead and walk in the front.

Zhu Jiu saw the two of them turn their eyes, smiled, and said:

"The three of us have drawn lots, and when we arrive at the foot of the sacred mountain in the sea of clouds, the first section is over, and we will draw lots again to decide who will lead the way in the second stage, and so on. If I wish a certain bad luck and draw a leading sign every time, then I will admit it and never deny it, how about it?"

The other two looked at each other, and there was no other way, they both nodded in agreement, and they were immediately supervised by the elders of the ghost clan, and the result of the lottery was that Zhu Jiu led the way, and the pair of men and women immediately gloated.

At this time, Zhu Jiu already knew that the male surname of the two was Zhao, and the female surname was Wu, so he didn't care about the annoying faces of the two, and strode forward and walked directly towards the cloud ladder that fell down.

The couple smiled proudly, followed Zhu Jiu and the rest of the warriors towards the stairs, Zhu Jiu seemed very careful, and before stepping up the stairs, he summoned the sea knowledge talisman and hung it above his head, and then took the first step.

Then there was no abnormality, Zhu Jiu took more than ten steps one after another, and there was no crisis, the pace was getting faster and faster, and there was never an attack or other danger coming.

The people who ascended the stairs were very careful, and no one spoke.

Although the stairs are long, there is always an end, Zhu Jiuyi is in front, never encountered any danger, has been climbing more than 10,000 steps, the end of the stairs has been far away.

When Zhu Jiu was the first to step through the last step of the ladder, stepped to the top of the ladder, and looked up, the clouds and mist had gradually thinned, and he could faintly see that there was a tall majestic peak in front of him that seemed to be able to penetrate the nine heavens.

[Full of joy to the two people who rewarded 'I love Buddha' and 'mountain-ghost', ha!]
