"I have read ancient books at the Tianpeng Chamber of Commerce, and there are records about the World Tree. In ancient times, the World Tree still existed between heaven and earth. It is said that it can connect multiple realms. However, this tree is actually one tree.
Any living thing that comes close to the Tree of Death will be sucked dry. The swallowing effect of the stairs here comes from the ability of the World Tree." Xiying quickly explained.
"The World Tree still has such abilities? But the piece of bark and the trunk I got are not like this." Yuan Ming frowned and said in confusion.
"That's because the bark and trunk you got have lost their activity. This staircase was originally dead, but someone used the ban to activate its activity." Xiying pointed out the key to the problem.
Yuan Ming nodded slowly when he heard this, and his heart suddenly became enlightened.
He remembered that as the bark of the World Tree above his immortal tree expanded, the absorptive capacity of its roots became more powerful. It seemed to be for this reason.
"So that's it. If you want to isolate the swallowing power of the World Tree, can using another bark of the World Tree be effective?" Yuan Ming suddenly thought of something and asked again.
Xiying nodded slightly and affirmed: "Yes, this is indeed a unique method that only you can use."
As Yuan Ming thought, the immortal tree in his dantian was immediately summoned and began to tremble violently.
His legs were gradually covered by a layer of faint blue light. The legs, which were originally made of flesh and blood, gradually transformed into the form of the World Tree under the shroud of blue light.
The moment he completed this change, Yuan Ming felt a sudden lightness under his feet. The terrifying suction force that had almost sucked him dry was now reduced by 90%.
He was overjoyed, but he was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change. He stumbled and almost fell down. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and straightened his waist quickly to stabilize his body.
"Sure enough, the World Tree can isolate the suction force of this step." Yuan Ming was secretly happy in his heart. He immediately stopped hesitating, pushed his legs with all his strength, and accelerated the climb.
At this moment, Yuan Ming is no longer bound by the suction force of the steps, and the majestic space pressure has become insignificant under the power of the immortal body.
His climbing speed suddenly increased. Although it was still not as easy as Su Wu below, it was far beyond what others could match, and he quickly opened up the distance between him and Wu Yu and others.
The people watching below were all surprised when they saw this. Master Tantai was full of surprise, and then smiled bitterly and said: "This Wan Tianren actually has such a hidden backhand, we are not losing unfairly."
Long Miao and the other three also looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.
Sima Changqin was healing Tie Xuan, Shen Xiu, and Gao Da Hei Mo. Seeing this scene, a dignified look flashed in his eyes.
Yuan Ming's trump cards far exceeded his expectations, and he might be a formidable opponent.
Wu Yu looked at Yuan Ming's back with complicated eyes, and began to truly regret his previous calculation.
Su Wu, who was below, focused his eyes on Yuan Ming's legs that had transformed into the World Tree. A cold light seemed to flash through his eyes. He accelerated his climb again and quickly caught up.
As the steps get higher and higher, the pressure in the surrounding space becomes stronger and stronger.
Yuan Ming had to use all his strength to activate his immortal body. His blood was almost boiling and pink water vapor was emitting from his body.
He still maintained an astonishing speed and took the lead in climbing the 900th step.
At this moment, the green-bearded old man flashed out and appeared in front of Yuan Ming. He said with a smile: "We have reached the nine hundredth level. You can claim the rewards for this level by name."
"Requesting by name? Is it okay to ask for anything?" Yuan Ming asked.
The green-bearded old man nodded and said with a smile: "It's almost the same. The collection of items in the Three Realms Immortal Boat is beyond your imagination. As long as you can name it, it is basically available here. No matter how bad it is, you can still find some similar substitutes.
.”
Yuan Ming's heart moved and he asked tentatively: "Then what if I want to take control of this Three Realm Immortal Boat?"
The green-bearded old man's expression did not change at all, and he said calmly: "That is the reward you get after reaching the top."
When Yuan Ming heard this, he was a little disappointed, but he also understood that this was a reasonable thing.
He stopped teasing the green-bearded old man and said seriously: "I want the Abyss Stone."
Upon hearing this request, a look of surprise finally appeared on the face of the green-bearded old man Furui Muha.
He took a deep look at Yuan Ming, nodded, and disappeared.
After a few breaths, the green-bearded old man appeared again, raising his sleeves and waving.
A piece of blue light shot out, and a palm-sized oval stone floated out from the blue light and hung in front of Yuan Ming.
It was a strange stone that was completely black and covered with holes, exuding a deep chill.
There are faint wisps of black mist on the surface of the stone passing through each hole, as if there is life.
"It is indeed the Abyss Stone!" Yuan Ming was delighted and reached out to take the strange stone.
The next moment, a strong chill immediately penetrated through the palm of his immortal body and penetrated into his bone marrow.
The feeling was very unique. It wasn't really extremely cold, but it made him shiver.
Yuan Ming didn't look at it much, and after thanking the green-bearded old man, he put it into the space of the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron.
This abyss stone was the first and most important purpose for him to enter the space of the Three Realms Immortal Boat and to wade through the muddy water.
Xiying has been waiting in the space of Stealing Heaven Cauldron for a long time.
After getting the precious Abyss Stone, she immediately flew to the top of the towering altar, gently opened the complex magic circle at the top, and carefully inserted the Abyss Stone into the corresponding groove.
Above the altar, the light suddenly circulated, like a galaxy turning upside down, dazzling and dazzling.
Earth-shaking changes also took place in the space of Stealing Heaven Cauldron, as if new vitality had been injected into it and it became more lively and agile.
The white jade lotus platform was blooming with a soft and lustrous luster at this moment, and countless light spots of wish power appeared around it again. They were like stars in the night sky, shining with mysterious light.
Yuan Ming's main soul had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing this scene, he flew up without hesitation and sat lightly on the white jade lotus platform.
Those dots of willpower gathered towards him one after another, as if being pulled by an invisible force.
The sounds of calls fell in Yuan Ming's ears in confusion, and these sounds turned into names that were unique to him.
"Lord Yuan Ming..."
"Lord Ming Yue God..."
"My lord..."
Yuan Ming was very excited. Through these wishes, he finally restored contact with the believers again.
He carefully distinguished these wish spots and found that most of them were believers from overseas.
The Yunhuang Continent is too far away from him, and only a few people's wishes can be conveyed, but this is enough to make him feel gratified.
At least, he and Yunhuang Continent finally got in touch again.
It's just that the situation is urgent at the moment, and Yuan Ming doesn't have much time to communicate with the believers in Yunhuang Continent to understand the situation there.
He tried to use the power of wish as an anchor to open a space channel to deliver items to believers, but unfortunately failed.
"It seems that if you want to completely restore the functions of the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, you need to find the Qingqing Xinyu and the Wu Tu Yuan Stone." Yuan Ming thought to himself.
He quickly withdrew his attention and did not stay here any longer.
He understood that Su Wu behind him was catching up at a very fast speed, and at this moment, he had already surpassed the six hundred steps.
Yuan Ming did not dare to relax or rest at all, and must continue to climb towards the top of the ladder with all his strength.
Therefore, Yuan Ming activated his immortal body again and accelerated his climbing speed.
His figure galloped past on the steps, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.
Now, he only has one thought in his mind, which is to reach the top as soon as possible.
However, when Yuan Ming crossed the 900 steps, the pressure in the surrounding space doubled instantly, as if there were invisible mountain peaks pressing on him one after another, and the swallowing power from the steps also greatly increased.
However, the power of Yuan Ming's immortal body was already tyrannical. After his legs turned into the World Tree, they blocked 90% of the suction force of the stairs, and could still hold on.
At the same time, the strange phenomena in the sky began to become more and more intense.
The void above the head seemed to be stirred wildly by a pair of invisible hands, forming countless turbulences and vortices.
Amidst the howling wind, dense wind blades poured down like a torrential rain, cutting every inch of space. The sharp wind rays drew cracks in the void, as if they were about to tear the entire world apart.
Along with the roar of the wind, deafening thunder also sounded in the air.
The four-color electric light of purple, green, gold and silver intertwined into a network, turning into lightning-shaped thunder spears, shooting towards the bottom at a crazy rate.
The air was filled with the smell of burning, as if the whole world was enveloped in thunder and fire.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of red rain with a strong corrosive smell fell from the sky.
The red rain splashed down like blood, splashing white smoke on the steps. The pungent smell filled the air, making people feel uncomfortable.
Yuan Ming frowned slightly, noticing that the test before him now was different from before.
In the past, the attacks in mid-air on the stairs were all of a single attribute, but now there are several attacks coming at the same time.
He took a deep breath and activated the Hunyuan Dao Seal with all his strength. The seven-color vortex rotated rapidly under his control, and an unparalleled swallowing power rolled out from it, swallowing up attacks all over the sky.
However, as you continue to climb up and reach level 950, the sound of wind and rain intensifies again, the roar of thunder continues, and all attacks become more crazy and powerful.
Even if Yuan Ming runs the Hunyuan Dao Seal with all his strength, he is gradually unable to completely swallow these attacks.
From time to time, wind blades, thunder and lightning, and red rain penetrated the seven-color vortex and fell on him, punching out bloody holes. The flesh and blood melted during the attack, revealing the white bones.
Yuan Ming was not afraid of this.
Relying on the incomparable recovery ability of his immortal body, he resisted these attacks and continued to climb steadily, but the speed was much slower than before.
It seemed that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they could not stop his progress.
