Chapter 423: Hiking up the mountain
In the gloomy mountain range, outside the Sky Splitting Canyon, the seven of Xia Mu reunited again, and they were embarrassed to each other, but when Xia Mu looked at the archer, the different colors in his eyes flashed.
If he didn't feel wrong, the feeling of the archer in front of him seemed to be slightly different from that of the time they parted three days ago, but if he really told him what the difference was, he couldn't say in detail for a while, after all, he didn't know much about the archer, so he wasn't sure if this feeling was just his own delusion.
Thinking like this, Xia Mu couldn't help but subconsciously look at the puppeteer, only to find that the puppeteer and the pharmacist also happened to look at him, and the three of them glanced at each other, nodding slightly without leaving a trace.
"Puppeteer, listening to your tone just now, isn't the True Dragon Immortal Mansion hidden in this Sky Splitting Canyon?"
"That's right, at the beginning, I searched all the way to this place according to the induction of the key to the Immortal Mansion in my hand, and finally found the True Long Immortal Mansion hidden here in this Sky Splitting Canyon. Some time ago, I also came here alone once, and set up some warning formations nearby, so I'm pretty sure that no one else has discovered this place during this time, but because there are many formation prohibitions in the outer mansion of the True Dragon Immortal Mansion, I can't break them all by myself, so this trip still depends on you to work together to break the formation. The puppeteer arched his hand and said.
"Hehe, I'm here to help you break through the formation, and the puppeteer doesn't need to be so polite. The archer waved his hand, then glanced at everyone and said, "Without further ado, I'll wait here to enter the Sky Splitting Canyon and help the puppeteer break the formation!"
As he spoke, the archer turned his eyes to the puppeteer and said, "Please also ask the puppeteer to lead the way in front." ”
"It's nature. The puppeteer smiled meaningfully and nodded at everyone present.
Then I saw him turn around and turn into a streamer, and galloped towards the entrance of the Sky Splitting Canyon, the archer followed, and Xia Mu and the others naturally hurriedly followed.
When they arrived at this place, there was no need to hide their whereabouts, and the group galloped with all their might, and soon went deep into the depths of the Sky Splitting Canyon.
The internal topography of the Split Sky Canyon is very complicated, and the huge and hideous mountain cracks run through the entire canyon, and these huge mountain cracks are intertwined with each other, making the passages of various sizes in the Split Sky Canyon branch innumerable, if there is no special means of way to know the way, even the immortal realm monks will slowly get lost in it, and turn back to the entrance of the Split Sky Canyon.
Therefore, the Sky Splitting Canyon is also known as the Valley of Lost Ghosts, which means that even ghosts and creatures will lose their way because of the intricate terrain in it.
Xia Mu and the six of them followed the puppeteer through it, and the spiritual power fluctuations spread, naturally attracting the attention of the low-level ghosts in the Sky Splitting Canyon, but when these ghosts sensed the powerful spiritual pressure emanating from their bodies, they were all so frightened that they fled in all directions, and they didn't dare to approach at all.
In this way, after a long journey of nearly half a day, the group of seven people finally came to the deepest cliff in the Sky Splitting Canyon.
If ordinary people see this cliff, they will definitely think that they have taken the wrong path at the first time, and they will turn back directly.
But according to the puppeteer, the True Dragon Immortal Mansion is hidden in a secret realm within this cliff, and if outsiders want to enter that secret realm, they must use the key of the Immortal Mansion to open the spatial passage.
Originally, Xia Mu and the others thought that the secret realm in the puppeteer's mouth should be another world carved out of this cliff, but when the puppeteer opened the passage and everyone really entered it, they found that everything was wrong.
This is an independent small world hidden in the cliff, very vast, boundless, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a real world, because the breath of life is very strong, all kinds of flying insects and beasts are not lacking, and there are mountains and rivers all over the world, saying that it is a small world, but really going deeper, Xia Mu feels like coming to a world that is not much smaller than the Cangyun Realm.
Obviously, this small world is the world conceived by the True Dragon Immortal Monarch, and it has not decayed with its fall, but has been hidden here, guarding its immortal mansion, if there is no corresponding immortal key, even the eternal saint will not want to discover the existence of this place.
Xia Mu took out a messenger rune and tried it, and found that it was restricted by a rule and could not communicate with the outside world, which meant that this realm was still very stable, and the spatial barrier was thick enough to isolate the original transmission power of this spirit rune.
Of course, this was just a small episode after he entered this secret realm.
After putting away the messenger talisman, Xia Mu and the six followed the puppeteer all the way through the secret realm, and according to the guidance of the key of the immortal mansion, they finally arrived at the destination, a peak of ten thousand zhang went straight into the clouds, the momentum was magnificent, and the stone tablet at the foot of the mountain was impressively engraved with two big characters: Zhenlong.
This mountain is very strange, because if you don't go into its hundred zhang range, outsiders can't detect its existence at all, and even if you don't have the key of the fairy mansion, even if you are within its hundred zhang range, you can't see it, let alone touch it, you can directly pass through its location, as if this mountain exists in another dimension.
Only those who hold the key to the Immortal Mansion are eligible to step into it.
This made everyone quite surprised, whether this mountain was in this secret realm, or outside the secret realm, if not, why was it able to step into it with the key of the immortal mansion?
Obviously, such a profound and mysterious secret puppeteer can't answer.
"When you climb this mountain, you can see the Zhenlong Immortal Mansion left by the True Long Immortal Monarch. Looking at the ethereal mountain in front of him, the puppeteer said, and then he reminded in a sharp tone: "By the way, there is a gravitational prohibition in this mountain, which will exert different levels of gravity according to the cultivation of the person who steps into it, please be careful." ”
After that, the seven people began to climb the mountain along the steps of the mountain road, the mountain road is very large, it can accommodate seven people side by side, Xia Mu only stepped on the first step of the ladder, he felt a sinking shoulder, and felt a huge pressure, as if there was a big mountain pressing on his back, making his shoulders sink, and the situation of other people was the same, and even slightly inferior, especially the silk master, although he was not forced to the point of using spiritual magic to resist, but it was also a little difficult.
On the contrary, the puppeteer's face is relaxed, and although his puppet-like body looks a lot heavier, it may be because he has already gone through a relationship once, and this second time he walked, he had some experience and experience.
Retracting his gaze, Xia Mu also began to slowly climb up the mountain road, step by step, although slowly, but firmly, and the invisible pressure was always accompanied by him, and as he continued to advance, that pressure was also increasing, only after walking dozens of steps, the pressure on Xia Mu had risen to more than three times that of the beginning.
In just a few dozen steps, he walked a little out of breath, and a sense of fatigue arose, and the others were even more unbearable, and the weakest silk master was even a little sweaty, but even so, she did not choose to use spiritual skills to resist, as if she wanted to exercise her body in this way.
And the same is true for others, no matter how difficult it is, they have not started to bless their bodies with spiritual arts, because everyone is no longer a flower in a greenhouse, and they understand that there are not many opportunities to temper their physical bodies, so they all want to take this opportunity to force out the potential of their physical bodies, hoping to make progress because of this.
However, although it is a good thing to have such thoughts, when the pressure increases to about a hundred times when he steps on the thousandth step, the satin master is finally the first to be forced to use spiritual magic to resist, and the archer, painter and medicine master are also forced to perform spiritual magic to bless themselves at the 1,500th step, the 2,300th step and the 3,500th step respectively.
At present, there is no spiritual art, and only Xia Mu, the puppeteer, and the blacksmith are left who have walked up the 3,500 steps with their physical bodies.
However, this situation did not last long, when stepping on the 5,600 steps, the blacksmith finally could not hold on to unfold the spiritual magic to bless his body, while the puppeteer held on for a little longer, and when he stepped on the 7,300th steps, he was forced to unfold the spiritual arts.
"Brother Xia, come on, I'm missing you now. After casting the spirit, the satin master looked much more relaxed, although the spiritual power shield on his body was extremely distorted under the strong pressure, there was no trace of nervousness on his face, as if he was extremely confident in his protective spiritual power.
And most of the others are in the same situation, directly casting spiritual magic to isolate themselves from that pressure.
Only Xia Mu is here, still relying on the strength of his body to resist that pressure.
At this time, under the pressure of that huge pressure, he had gradually developed a feeling of almost vomiting blood, and his body seemed to be imprisoned, unable to move, and it was difficult to move.
According to the puppeteer, there are 13,333 steps in this mountain path, and they are still nearly half the way to the summit at the moment, and it is difficult to imagine how terrifying the pressure will be when everyone reaches the end.
No one thinks that Xia Mu will succeed, even Xia Mu himself, he doesn't think that he can reach the top with his physical body alone, he just wants to see where his limit is now and do his best, as for how far he can go, he can only take one step at a time.
At this time, even if he heard the satin master's teasing, he could not respond, because he did not even have the strength to open his mouth, and the corners of his mouth began to bleed under the pressure of this pressure.
The seven thousand three hundred and one steps, the seven thousand three hundred and second steps, the seven thousand three hundred and third steps, he stepped on step by step.
In the end, Xia Mu had to run the Nameless Tempering Body Spiritual Decision, catalyzing the power of the physical body to the maximum, and go all out.
Even so, he struggled a little, like a snail, little by little.
In this process, the six puppeteers were always by his side, without speeding up or urging, and even the original joke in the satin master's eyes slowly turned into a trace of solemnity.
Although Xia Mu's figure was a little shaky at the moment, his pace was still constantly climbing upward, the eighth thousandth step, the ninth thousandth step, and the first ten thousand steps......
"Crackle!"
When he stepped on the 10,000th step, Xia Mu's body suddenly heard a sound of broken muscles and bones, which made the puppeteer and others change color.
