On the other side, in the world of Jiutian Arsenal

On the stone steps leading to the Golden Ancient Temple, hundreds of cultivators have already started climbing towards the mountain peak, and as time goes by, the number of people climbing is still increasing.

"When you step onto the Immortal Platform, you can ascend to immortality..."

Such a simple sentence is enough to drive all practitioners crazy!

The journey of cultivation is long, who doesn’t want to reach immortality in one step!

At that time, countless cultivators, like moths attracted by the lights, gathered from all directions, wanting to step on the legendary platform.

However, the conditions for setting foot on the Immortal Platform sound very easy.

But in fact, everyone is climbing very slowly.

Because the moment they step onto the steps, there is an indescribable pressure that falls on the climbers.

Then, as the number of steps climbed by the climbers gradually increases, the pressure will increase layer by layer, making the climb exponentially more difficult.

"The trial given by Lord Jiutian is indeed not that simple..."

A girl with a delicate face was using all her strength to resist the pressure and barely stood still on the 123rd step, murmuring.

She wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and looked up at the top of the mountain.

The steps in front of her were so high that they seemed to have no end. When people walked up them, they unconsciously felt a sense of confusion. Coupled with the increasing pressure as they went up, she felt a little helpless in her heart.

"Sister, wait for me, I...I really...can't climb anymore..." A short, fat, middle-aged man gasped, yelled, and struggled to climb up.

His figure was very fat, and every time he climbed hard, it seemed that he was using the strength of sucking milk. The huge pressure caused the fat on his face to be squeezed out of shape.

He and the woman both entered Jiutian Arsenal by chance. Their cultivation levels were at the bottom among the practitioners of Jiutian Arsenal, so it was no surprise that they became the two people at the bottom.

"Usually you should eat less. Now it's better. There is an opportunity to become an immortal in front of you, and you can't even grasp it." The girl turned back and gave the fat man a white look, and said with a smile.

"You, you are talking nonsense, does this have anything to do with how much I eat? The higher you go up, the stronger the pressure becomes. Level 123 is already the limit of the foundation stage. Besides, our cultivation level is not even a golden elixir.

, Why are you going up there to join in the fun..." As he spoke, the fat man finally climbed up to the 123rd step and gasped to defend himself.

"But don't you want to become an immortal?" The girl glanced at the top of the mountain and murmured.

I saw the golden ancient temple looming in the clouds and mist, as if it was very close yet yet far away in the horizon.

"I don't want to. After eating so many treasures, I have reached the foundation-building stage of Dzogchen. I may not be born to cultivate." The fat man shook his big head, patted his huge backpack, and said seriously, "

Simply stop having unrealistic dreams, return to the secular world, sell all the treasures here, and become a happy rich man."

"Tch, you don't have a strong Taoist heart. You don't look like a cultivator." The girl said angrily.

"If the Taoist heart is not strong, then the Taoist heart is not strong... I still have this bit of self-knowledge..." The fat man raised his head and glanced at the towering stone steps. There was no nostalgia in his eyes. Then he turned to the girl and said, "I'm going down the mountain now.

, do you want to come down the mountain with me?"

A trace of struggle flashed in the girl's eyes, and she tried to lift her right foot to step onto the 124th step.

"boom"

But the moment she was about to step up the steps, a pressure twice as powerful as before suddenly came down, making the girl unable to stand at all.

"Becoming an immortal...it seems that I don't have this opportunity either."

After trying several times, the girl was still unable to take that crucial step, so she could only sigh and give up her climbing plan.

"That's right... Come down the mountain with me. I know the location of a medicinal field with thousand-year-old medicinal materials. However, there are many monsters guarding it. You and I need to deal with the monsters together. By then, each of us will have half of the medicinal materials.

It’s not like your trip to Jiutian Arsenal was in vain.” Fatty suggested.

"Half for each person is fine, but I have to pick the medicinal ingredients first."

The girl said, turned around, and walked down the mountain without any delay.

Strange to say, as long as you turn around and walk down the mountain, those terrible pressures will immediately disappear without a trace, as if they had never existed.

Without the pressure, the two of them descended the mountain at a much faster speed, and soon reached the foot of the mountain.

I saw, at the beginning of the trial road, a man in a blue shirt sitting cross-legged and holding a sword, closing his eyes to meditate.

The moment the two of them reached the foot of the mountain, the man holding the sword suddenly opened his eyes. However, his eyes seemed to have no focus, and were dull like the eyes of a puppet.

This person is Senior Brother Qin from the Hidden World Sect, the chief disciple of the Nine Sects and Thirteen Sects!

"It's time to set off." Senior Brother Qin glanced at the two people coming down the mountain and murmured.

"Fellow Taoist, if you just start climbing now, I'm afraid you won't get the chance. There will probably be people climbing halfway up the mountain by now." The fat man reminded him kindly.

"Blocking the road." Senior Brother Qin said dryly, without any emotion in his tone.

"Why are you like this... We kindly remind you..." the girl frowned and said.

"It's okay, fellow Taoist, I'm sorry to block your way. Let's leave now." The fat man touched his head and smiled coquettishly. He pulled the girl and walked aside, saying as he walked.

"In the way." Senior Brother Qin still looked expressionless and waved lightly.

"hiss…"

There was a sound of cloth being torn.

"How...how could this happen..."

The fat man lowered his head blankly, only to see a long sword piercing his chest. The next moment, blood spurted out from the corner of his mouth as if he didn't want money.

"Why...why..." The fat man looked in disbelief, and his body gradually went limp.

He would never have thought that he would die in the Jiutian Arsenal in such a way.

"Please... don't..." The girl on the side was so frightened that her face suddenly lost all color, and she cried and begged for mercy.

At this time, there was no trace of sadness or joy on Senior Brother Qin's face, and he casually made a move.

"puff!"

The next moment, a stream of blood spurted out from the girl's eyebrows, and she suddenly lost her breath.

After doing all this, Senior Brother Qin slowly stood up in silence, stepped onto the trial stone steps, and walked towards the top of the mountain.

….

At this moment, at the end of the trial road, in the center of the ancient golden temple, there was a man in black sitting cross-legged in the temple.

There was a huge formation in front of him. This formation was so complex that it would make people dizzy just by looking at it.

In the center of the formation, there is a huge egg-shaped light ball suspended in the air, emitting a warm light at the moment. If you look closely, you will find a golden dragon swimming in it.

"buzz"

Suddenly, two gray afterimages floated from the bottom of the mountain and slowly merged into the ball of light.

"Haha, after all this, someone is finally dead." Heilong opened his eyes and said with a sneer.

His eyes had no whites, only a strange black color, which looked particularly penetrating.

"Next, let me add fuel to the fire..."

Immediately, the magic techniques of the black dragon's hands kept changing, constantly hitting the formation in front of him.

"Qin Shang, the murderer, will be rewarded with ten years of cultivation..."

"Qin Shang, the murderer, will be rewarded with ten years of cultivation..."
