"There are natural restrictions on this mountain. Each step up will increase the pressure." Gongsun Li was at the front. He stepped up several steps and then stopped.
"It seems... there is something unusual." Gongsun Li closed his eyes and felt it carefully.
"Really?" Several Transformation Realm warriors also became interested and stepped onto the stairs one after another, leaving only Liu Zheji and other innate warriors staring with big eyes.
"How did they climb up so easily??" The young master in Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, then took a step up with great difficulty. In this step, he used up all his energy.
"How much energy do you need to walk up the stairs?" The young man in Tsing Yi's expression changed drastically.
The transformation warrior over there had already climbed up a hundred steps and his figure was obscured by the natural formation. After thinking about it for a while, Liu Zheji decided to take a walk first.
"This staircase can't be that simple. It can attract transformation warriors to climb the mountain. Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises." Liu Zheji smiled and took a step up, but the smile on his face disappeared in the next second.
“What the hell is this!!!”
Liu Zheji staggered and almost fell to the ground. As soon as he stepped onto the first step, he felt like there was a huge boulder on his back. Whenever he wanted to move his body, he felt the surrounding air putting pressure on him.
"Why...are you so tired?"
Young Master in Tsing Yi also climbed to the same level as Liu Zheji. The two of them only climbed two levels before they felt the pressure was a bit unbearable. The Transformation Warriors didn't know which level they had climbed to.
The two of them persisted on the second floor for a long time, and when they were about to continue climbing up, the clouds and mist on the mountain suddenly surged, and a figure flew down from the front. Everyone took a closer look, and they didn't expect it to be Gongsun Li.
"Bah!"
Gongsun Li spat on the ground a few times, patted the dust on his body, and then ran up the mountain without looking back.
"This..." Liu Zheji and the others were a little confused. Is this mountain climbing so fun?
Liu Zheji's eyes lit up, he must have benefited from climbing up this step, otherwise Gongsun Li wouldn't be so anxious.
Just when Liu Zheji was about to try again, several more people fell down from the clouds and mist on the mountain, including Gongsun Li who had just climbed up, Gongsun Yan, Zhou Changqing, Jiang Hanyun and others.
"Made!" Zhou Changqing uttered a rare curse word after falling down and started to run up again. Upon seeing this, Liu Zheji hurriedly shouted: "Dean! What is the secret of this mountain? Let's rest for a while before climbing? Anyway,
The mountain is right here, why are you so anxious?"
"Forget it, Dean, let's take a rest first." Jiang Hanyun failed to control his body shape just now and fell with a bruised nose and swollen face. As a transformation warrior, this was the first time that he was forced into this state by a mountain.
Zhou Changqing frowned and glanced at the top of the mountain, seemingly feeling a little unfinished, then he sighed and chose to stay where he was.
At this time, two more figures flew down from the mountain. Zhang Sihai and Zheng Yuanying turned somersaults gracefully in the air and landed firmly on the ground.
"Broken Halberd!"
Although Zhang Sihai was thrown down, his expression was extremely excited, as was Zheng Yuanying, who greeted Liu Zheji in high spirits.
"senior?"
Liu Zheji walked over suspiciously, and looked at Zheng Yuanying's arms, which were slightly bruised, and his knees were worn out by something, and the corner of his mouth twitched several times.
"We may have to bother you for a few more days." Zhang Sihai also walked over and said with a smile on his face.
"Senior...what's so mysterious about this mountain that makes you so obsessed with it?" Liu Zheji asked doubtfully.
"This mountain peak?" Zhang Sihai turned around and faced the mountain peak and said, "Let's call it Zichen Mountain! I just arrived at the mountainside, and there was a stone tablet standing on the side of the road, which recorded a detailed introduction to this ladder to heaven."
"Climb the ladder to heaven?" Liu Zheji was startled. Isn't the unique skill of Climbing the Heaven Castle the ladder to climb to heaven? Why is there another ladder to climb to the sky?
Seeing the strange expressions on Liu Zheji and others, Zhang Sihai couldn't help but ask: "Why, have you seen the ladder to heaven before?"
"No, no!" Liu Zheji waved his hands repeatedly, indicating to Zhang Sihai to continue.
"Ladder to the sky! Climbing to the top of the mountain is equivalent to climbing to the sky in one step. Maybe I can reach that state when I get to the top of the mountain." Zhang Sihai glanced at Zheng Yuanying intentionally or unintentionally, and the other party nodded knowingly, fully agreeing with Zhang Sihai's words.
.
Zhang Sihai is very confused now. They are debating whether they should go back to Zheng's house. Now the road is right in front of them, and it is absolutely impossible for him to give up. This road is much easier than the important matter between him and Zheng Yuanying.
That night, Zhang Sihai and Zheng Yuanying had a secret conversation in the purple bamboo forest.
"What? You want to bring the Fiery Fire Sect to join the Zichen Mansion?"
Zheng Yuanying looked surprised. He could understand whatever decision Zhang Sihai made, but this was the only one he really didn't expect.
"That's right, I don't want to go back anymore. If I'm not in the Fierce Fire Sect, the existence of this sect is meaningless. It's better to lead everyone into Zichen Mansion."
Zhang Sihai sighed, "When you and I saw this mountain, we should have known that our karma is inseparable from Zichen Mansion. This mountain is our karma. I hope you will also consider it.
.”
Zheng Yuanying did not think that Zhang Sihai was rash. Instead, he really thought about it for a long time. He was not only a member of the Zheng family, but also the dean of Ruifeng Academy. His power was too involved and he could not escape smoothly.
"Even if my Zheng family doesn't join, I will still be here to accompany you, hahaha! The worst I can do is resign as dean. A broken dean is not important at all compared to Da Dao!"
Zhang Sihai also laughed, "Having said that, we still have to discuss it with Master Liu. If he doesn't want us to stay here, who knows what tricks we will have to find to force us to stay here!"
"Hahaha!"
After Zhang Sihai finished speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed again.
Liu Zheji arranged for all the warriors outside the city to come in. Now Zichen Mansion is safe and everyone can live in it. The only thing that puzzles Liu Zheji is that although Lingshi Valley has undergone tremendous changes, the concentration of spiritual energy is still the same as before.
Same.
"Is this the only change in this formation?"
In the evening, Liu Zheji came to the foot of Zichen Mountain. He looked at the majestic and tall peaks in front of him and was fascinated for a moment. Zichen Mountain covers a large area, but no one can go up there. Liu Zheji really wanted to see the mountain.
What will the scenery be like?
"Is it really impossible to climb up?" Liu Zheji frowned and looked at the ladder for a long time, and finally couldn't help but try again.
"Eight Stars of the Emperor - Pojun!"
Liu Zheji groaned, and a layer of black zhenqi emerged on his body. Pojun zhenqi gave Liu Zheji an infinite increase in strength. With this strength, Liu Zheji stepped forward. Unexpectedly, this
Suddenly, Liu Zheji saw a turning point.
"It's so easy!"
After stepping onto the second level of stairs, Liu Zheji did not feel any pressure.
He knew that this was Po Jun's true energy taking effect, so he took advantage of the opportunity to reach a few more levels.
Finally, Liu Zheji stopped when he reached the thirtieth step.
By this time, the pressure on Liu Zheji's body was already great. He looked down, and the clouds and fog behind him were obscured. He didn't know how many steps he could climb, but he would not stop until he exhausted all his strength.
Down.
"First order."
Liu Zheji was sweating profusely. After level 30, the pressure from all directions changed qualitatively.
"One more level!"
Liu Zheji's breathing suddenly became rapid, his heart was beating violently, and steam-like sweat was pouring out from his body. Liu Zheji felt dizzy for a while, and the two qi in the sea of qi were suppressed to the limit.
"He who rides on a horse! Come again!"
Liu Zheji roared angrily, leaned forward, and took a step forward despite the huge pressure. The pressure at this time was already terrifying. Liu Zheji's muscles bulged several times, and his veins were straightened violently. He could even do it himself
I heard a "crunching" sound of rags rubbing against each other inside my body.
"Hoo ho!"
Liu Zheji gasped, and the smell of blood rushed into his nose. Liu Zheji knew that a blood vessel in his body was probably ruptured.
"More on!"
Liu Zheji took a step with his right foot, and a feeling of electric shock spread from his toes throughout his body. He staggered and almost fell down the mountain.
At this time, a breeze blew across Zichen Mountain, and there seemed to be a fragrance in the wind. This smell was so refreshing that Liu Zheji was fascinated.
"Zheji! You don't practice well!" A familiar voice startled Liu Zheji.
"Aunt?"
Liu Zheji thought that he was riding the ladder to heaven, why did Gu Meng'er run out? He wasn't dreaming either.
"Why don't you come here quickly? What are you doing here stupidly?"
"Gu Meng'er" frowned, and her facial expression was exactly the same as Gu Meng'er. Liu Zheji only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.
"You're at the bottom of the mountain, right? Don't think I don't know. Even my inner demons can't do such poor acting skills." Liu Zheji curled his lips. On the surface, he was extremely shocked, but in fact, he was extremely panicked.
"Why doesn't she disappear? What should I do? Move back or throw a few Qi bombs at her?"
While Liu Zheji was thinking, the "Gu Meng'er" in front of him suddenly changed into a graceful figure in green clothes. The figure's head was slightly tilted to the right, and half of his face was covered by a layer of gauze.
"My son."
"Are you enlightened?"
"..."
The Qingsha woman was so stunned by Liu Zheji's scolding that she even forgot the next words.
"Let me out quickly, I don't have time to play games with you." Liu Zheji narrowed his eyes, and a trace of spiritual power had seeped out to the surroundings.
"Bo."
Like a bubble bursting, the surrounding space suddenly collapsed. Liu Zheji's eyes were dazzled. He unexpectedly came to a platform. Right in front of the platform, a purple stone tablet was shining with an inexplicable light. There were paragraphs of text on it introducing Zichen Mountain.
of various kinds.
The first one is, "Climb the hundred steps of the ladder to heaven, and you will reach the sky in one step and step into the realm of gods and demons!"
"Gods and demons? No wonder these people are crazy." Liu Zheji thought to himself.
