The white clouds moved with the wind, carrying Zhou Yi and Han Shi and slowly landed at the foot of a huge mountain peak.

After Zhou Yi and Han Shi's feet landed on the ground, the clouds suddenly turned into a faint mist and dissipated into the air.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, the peak covers a vast area, showing a sense of vastness, and the cliff halfway up the mountain has a strong ancient pine roots that stand tenaciously in the cracks of the stone, surrounded by a thin cloud mist, and a path looms in it leading to the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain was covered by thick clouds and mist, as if a large hat was worn on the top of the mountain.

Zhou Yi walked to the steps of the mountain, turned around, looked at Han Shi, and said with deep meaning in his eyes: "This peak is called Luoyun Peak, which is the place where the master cultivates, and this second level is to climb the 7,400th step along the steps from here before sunset. ”

"This matter does not seem difficult, but the twists and turns and difficulties and obstacles will only be known after experiencing it yourself, one of the most important points is that there are seven thousand four hundred and nine steps, of which the first seven thousand four hundred steps, each step up, the pressure felt on the body will increase by a pound of weight. ”

"It's just a pound, it doesn't seem like much, but there is no light load on the long journey, you go down, you will understand. ”

"The last nine, the increased pressure is even more amazing, if you can reach the 7,400th step before sunset, you can be considered to have passed the second level, and the last nine steps are the third level. ”

"At present, the sun is slightly slanting, and there are about three hours before sunset, so the teacher will be waiting for you at the top of the mountain, remember, if you feel that your body is powerless to resist this pressure, as long as you take a step back gently, it means that you have given up climbing the mountain, and the pressure will be lifted naturally. ”

Zhou Yi's big sleeves swung lightly, soared into the air, and flew straight to the top of the mountain.

Looking at Zhou Yi's smaller and smaller figure, Han Shi stood in place, thinking a little, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

According to Master, if you go to the top of the mountain, you will have to bear at least 7,400 catties of weight, and you will have to complete it within three hours.

No matter how you look at it, this level is not something that a beginner disciple can complete.

But no matter what, he's going to give it a try.

Things in this world can fail, but you must never give up.

Having made up his mind, Han Shi no longer hesitated, raised his feet and climbed the steps and galloped towards the top of the mountain.

In less than a stick of incense, Han Shi climbed the eighteenth steps, took a slight breath, and continued to climb without delay.

The weight of eight hundred catties is really nothing to Han Shi at this moment, and even his figure does not lag in the slightest, which is no different from the speed at the beginning.

On the platform in the distance, many teenagers left one after another with the master and the elders of the various peaks, and only Xuanyangzi was still sitting beside the psychic stone pillar.

The plain and slightly reminiscent gaze in his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the long distance and fall on Luo Yunfeng, the young man in green shirt who was constantly climbing the steps.

The corners of Xuanyangzi's mouth showed a slight chuckle, and he said in his heart: "Seventh Senior Brother, it has been more than five hundred years since the last time Luo Yunfeng's Peak Protection Array was opened, is he really worth it for you to do this? ”

"I think back then, Master and his old man also tested our senior brothers in this way, but that was more than ten years after we cultivated. ”

"Seventh Senior Brother, I just hope that it is not self-defeating, if he can really inherit your mantle and be happy for his brother, Luo Yunfeng's inheritance will also be continued. ”

As time passed, more than half an hour passed, and the dazzling sunlight gradually softened.

Glancing at the ancient pine not far away, before he knew it, Han Shi had walked halfway up the mountain, and the scene that was originally unreal was now under Han Shi's eyes, and he took three steps in a row, and under his feet, there were already four thousand steps.

Looking back, the figures walking at the foot of the mountain seemed to be the size of ants, moving slowly, and Han Shi was at the foot of the mountain just now, but he was actually just one of those figures.

Han Shi's forehead was already dripping with sweat, and all parts of his body seemed to be pressed by heavy objects, and he gradually became a little clumsy when he moved.

Han Shi's physical limit is not known to outsiders, I'm afraid even Han Shi himself doesn't know very well, and the current Han Shi, under the figure that does not look burly at all, is infinitely forceful to describe it as not an exaggeration.

The weight of four thousand catties was pressed on his body, Han Shi's eyes were still calm, and he was not in a hurry to climb to the top of the mountain, and he still took the same steps as just now, and walked towards the steps above.

The sun was gradually setting in the west, the sun was gradually darkening, and the shadows on the ground were not very clear.

Two hours had passed since the start of the climb from the foot of the mountain, and Han Shi finally stopped at the 6,877th step, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and a wave of exhaustion from his heart emerged.

He was carrying a weight of nearly seven thousand catties on his body, which finally approached Han Shi's first limit.

There was a voice in his heart that kept echoing, he was already too tired, too tired.

It is necessary to stop and rest, and the rest of the road is only more and more painful, without the slightest comfort.

Now as long as he takes a step back, there will be a clean and soft bed waiting for him, so that he can sleep well, relax with all his heart, and get away from those difficult things.

On the one hand, there is a heavy burden, and on the other hand, there is a comfortable comfort, this contrast is very great, the bitterness and happiness are only in one thought, so that Han Shi's original firm determination can't help but fluctuate.

Han Shi closed his eyes and stood in place, as if he was in a meditation like an old monk, and in less than three breaths, a pair of eyes as bright as the morning star slowly opened.

Han Shi looked up at the top of the mountain in the distance and muttered, "This must be the true purpose of Master's test of me, to see if I can continue to move forward in the ordeal, and the voice that kept echoing in my heart just now, if I am not mistaken, it is the ------ Demon in the heart that Mr. once mentioned." ”

"It tries to occupy people's thoughts all the time and make people submit to it, but I don't know that for me Han Shi, the inner demon can only become my whetstone, making me sharpen my heart more firmly. ”

After thinking about it, after stopping for three breaths, Han Shi took another step, still moving towards the top of the mountain step by step according to the previous pace.

From a distance, this Han Shi did not have the slightest intention of slowing down, but became faster and faster, and when Han Shi stepped into the seventh thousandth step, Xuan Yangzi's eyes suddenly flickered, and his eyes towards Han Shi also became cautious.

Although this son has mottled spiritual roots, his perseverance is outstanding, which is exactly what my generation of monks need, and the words of the master are still in his ears: "Ye Chen, your talent is above Zhou Yi, but your perseverance is much worse than him, and within a hundred years, your cultivation will definitely surpass him." ”

"And a hundred years later, if nothing else, you will never be able to catch up with him, talent and perseverance are the two things that must be needed on the road of cultivating immortals, if you must give up the same in these two things, I hope that you can give up your talent, because in the way of cultivating immortals, the most important thing about whether you can go far is that strong perseverance. ”

Xuanyangzi's eyes were blurred and fell into memories.

More than 800 years ago, the fourteen junior brothers who started at about the same time as Xuanyangzi and Zhou Yi had all climbed Luo Yunfeng like Han Shi.

At that time, Luo Yunfeng was the main peak, but after the death of the master, the seventh junior brother no longer asked about the affairs of the sect, which led to the gradual decline of Luo Yunfeng, and the name of the main peak naturally belonged to the Qi Yunfeng where he was.

At that time, ascending Luo Yunfeng was a major event for the whole sect, and when Xuanyangzi reached the 7,378th step, he exhausted his last bit of strength and was no longer able to take the next step.

This result ranked third among all the senior brothers, and the second was the second senior brother who started earlier than Xuanyangzi at that time, the 7,396th rank, and it was the second senior brother who was most optimistic about the master at that time.

It's just that the second senior brother was missing when he was on a mission to the sect, and the master had gone down the mountain to look for him three times, but he returned in vain.

This incident made the master and his old man worry about him for hundreds of years, and he never forgot it until the end of his life, and instructed Ye Chen to continue to search for the whereabouts of the second senior brother.

Now that five hundred years have passed, there is still no news, and it is very likely that the second senior brother has died.
