Chapter 17: Comprehending the Secret of the Staircase
On the square, the beating of the numbers on the huge light curtain touched the hearts of everyone present, as if they seemed to them that the owners of those numbers were them, and the voices of discussion came and went.
Those contestants who were eliminated by the True Scripture Holy Realm would let out a scream from time to time, cheering for the rise and fall of a number, and feeling sorry for the decline of a number.
This contest about the seizure of the Mahayana Sutra has already touched the hearts of anyone present, and even those powerful people who are far away from the ends of the earth are also snooping from time to time to see if there will be any earth-shattering ghosts.
The ranking on this light curtain, from a certain point of view, will determine who will be able to dominate the world in the future and be proud of the world.
With the passage of time, the protagonist of the first place, Zi Youxun, really lived up to expectations, and had already hit the two hundred and thirty-second steps, and the speed had slowed down, obviously no one could go fast with such a huge pressure.
However, this competition is destined to be a dragon and tiger fight, and those who have been eliminated have very excited faces on their faces, although they have not succeeded, but there are people they care about, as well as their senior brothers?
"Who is Mu Qing, now two hundred and eleven steps?"
"Mu Qing, you don't know, I heard that this woman is a disciple of the Queen Mother of Lingxiao Heavenly Court, and her cultivation is already at the peak of Xuan Immortal!"
"Yes, Dragon Fight, even if I'm lucky, I'm afraid I won't surpass these people, at most about three hundred steps!"
Discussions continued in the mouths of many disciples, no one went to watch Zhu Bajie's ranking at all, occasionally a person saw Zhu Bajie's results at the end, many people secretly shook their heads, Zhu Bajie was able to kill Xuan Xian, it must be due to good luck in the True Scripture Holy Realm, after all, there are so many accidents in the True Scripture Holy Realm, Xuan Xian is no exception.
Indeed, compared to those beings who have climbed to more than two hundred steps, Zhu Bajie at this moment is only thirteen steps on the ladder, Zhu Bajie stared at the ladder, he did not rush forward, but every time he went up the ladder, he stepped back again, feeling the difference between each ladder.
"Haha, look at Zhu Bajie, that guy is already the last one, only the thirteenth order!"
"Hey, brother, you're wrong, it's not the thirteenth order, it's the twelfth order!"
"No, you see, that guy is the eleventh order, haha, this guy is so bad, he was pressed back by that huge pressure, it's too classic!"
Zhu Bajie's ranking is at the end, one hundred and ninety is none other than him, for a while, Zhu Bajie became the laughing stock of the square, after all, he was forced to retreat after going up, which is a great shame.
However, the voices of these discussions are the words of those disciples, as for Guangchengzi, Bo Niu and others, Tota Heavenly King and others, they are all quietly closing their eyes and recuperating, obviously in their opinion, the real good show is ahead, what are they waiting for?
......
Zhu Bajie didn't know that he had become a laughing stock in the outside world at the moment, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care, he tortured for a long time, and didn't find anything, he could only start to climb hard, but that huge coercion was still too strong for him as an immortal cultivator, and he was covered in sweat before he rose from the thirteenth order to the twenty-first order.
"What should I do? Is it really going to be defeated here?" Zhu Bajie kept asking himself in his heart, he was unwilling to fail, failure meant that he and the Mahayana scriptures had missed, so after a few decades, the suppressed demonic energy in his body was out of control, and I am afraid that he would really fall into the devil's path at that time.
"No, we can't fail!"
Sitting cross-legged on the steps, Zhu Bajie began to close his eyes and practice, the fifth volume of the "Wordless Book of Heaven", Zhu Bajie was still a few sentences away from comprehending clearly, as he began to cultivate, a faint breath began to slowly emerge around his body.
"Junior, are you looking for the secret of this ladder?"
A voice sounded in Zhu Bajie's mind, this voice gave people a hint of laziness, but the voice was unusually thick.
"Who are you?" asked Zhu Bajie. "You don't care who I am, you just promise to help me with something, and I'll tell you what you're thinking, how about it?" the voice sounded again.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Bajie asked with some vigilance, after all, he had to be able to transmit sound under the power of the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha, and he had to be on guard, "Hehe, this matter is very simple, when I was practicing, I left a remnant soul in a mortal realm, and now my cultivation has reached a considerable height, and that remnant soul is very important to me, you help me find it, and then it's okay!"
"It's so simple?" Zhu Bajie was a little incredulous, it wasn't too difficult to find a remnant soul, "Yes, it's that simple, how about it?" The mysterious voice sounded.
"Senior, and there are so many strong people in this mountain, why did you choose me? and the world is so huge, you should always give me a specific location, right?" Zhu Bajie asked again, two questions in succession.
"The first question is because you have cultivated the "Wordless Heavenly Book", if it weren't for your cultivation, I would have found someone else, and the second question, the specific location has changed after so many years, and that place may have changed, I can only give you a specific characteristic map!" The mysterious voice sounded, and a characteristic location appeared in Zhu Bajie's mind, but Zhu Bajie had never met that location.
"Okay, I promise you, but you should always tell me if there is a secret about this mountain?" Zhu Bajie asked.
"Well, yes, I can only tell you five numbers, you comprehend it yourself, thirty-six, seventy-two, one hundred and fifty-three, three hundred and twenty-four, six hundred and twenty-one, you comprehend it yourself, if you can't comprehend, then it's no wonder to me, of course if you can't comprehend, I will also find someone else to help me find that remnant soul!" The owner of the voice seemed to disappear.
Zhu Bajie looked at the stairs in front of him, and immediately walked towards the stairs above, twenty-two steps, twenty-three steps...... Zhu Bajie walked directly to the thirty-sixth step in one breath.
Zhu Bajie's thirty-six steps, compared to those who are constantly climbing, he is already very backward, but standing at the thirty-six steps, he did not continue to walk, but stopped.
He walked towards the thirty-seven steps, as if the coercion was the same as the thirty-six, Zhu Bajie frowned, "This doesn't seem to be anything peculiar?"
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Bajie's eyes brightened, and the moment he walked towards Thirty-Eight, the moment his feet fell, a huge pressure came to his face, Zhu Bajie understood, and there was a burst of surprise in his eyes, he couldn't imagine that this mountain was so magical.
He stepped back again and walked towards the place of the thirty-four steps, and sure enough, when his footsteps stepped on the thirty-five steps, the powerful coercion, but in the place of the thirty-six steps, there was no feeling, that is to say, the place of the three steps of thirty-five, thirty-six, and thirty-seven was a balance, as long as Zhu Bajie let the immortal qi of his whole body run and found the balance of this critical point, then when he stepped on the steps, the immortal qi of the balance of his body would cancel out the coercion, and the coercion he received would be greatly reduced, on the contrary, he received more benefits than others。
Zhu Bajie didn't know, he didn't know how far away he was, an old figure opened his eyes and nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
After thinking about it for a while, he sat down cross-legged and began to slowly run the immortal qi in his body, so that it reached the so-called immortal energy balance, but this operation was very difficult.
The coercion in this mountain comes partly from the stairs on the mountain, and partly from the stairs he has walked on, and the coercion above and below is constantly compressing the blood flowing all over his body, and those immortal qi are also in his continuous circulation, slowly beginning to balance.
As the immortal qi of his body gradually balanced, he also felt that kind of benefit, the coercion on both sides of the body continued to compress his whole body, resulting in a little increase in his cultivation, as time passed, Zhu Bajie's breath slowly increased, and the momentum of his body slowly climbed.
"Shh......h
The moment Zhu Bajie stood up, the immortal qi all over his body swirled, and those mist dissipated, with a satisfied smile on his face, staring at the top of the mountain, looking at the names ranked in front of him, Zhu Bajie clenched his fists, "Since my Zhu Bajie is here, then what Zi Youxun, what Mu Qing must retreat, this time the first is my Zhu Bajie's, no one can snatch it away?"
If you want to balance the immortal energy of the whole body, it is very difficult, after Zhu Bajie rested for a while, the immortal energy of the whole body began to flow again, Zhu Bajie sat down cross-legged and began to slowly balance the immortal qi of the whole body, as time passed, when the immortal energy of his body was balanced to a certain extent, it seemed that he could no longer make an inch.
"Haha, look at that Zhu Bajie, it's really embarrassing, thirty-sixth order, I burst into laughter!"
"Hey, shame on you, now the worst above the light curtain is already the ninety-eighth order!"
......
"Tongtian donor, your fall shows that you are very unpeaceful!"
"Hehe, Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha, I may not lose!" Tongtian Sect Master smiled, and directly blocked a large number of his chess pieces, and the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha's eyes changed greatly.
