Seven days have passed since entering the Star Gate.
The Lieyang Divine Staircase under your feet has changed from the previous white jade color to golden red.
The air is filled with a burning smell. Even on the hottest summer day, it is far different from the heat at this moment. Walking here is like being in a furnace, and every step requires a huge amount of effort.
Zhang Prisoner, who had reached this position, gradually felt that it was a bit difficult to move forward.
He raised his head and looked at Haoyang Summit, which was only a thousand steps away. On normal days, he could reach this short distance in a blink of an eye, but now the spiritual power in his body was suppressed, and the power of the stars around him was so violent that it was almost as if
Like a storm of flames, it kept coming from the top of Haoyang.
Every step he took began to become extremely difficult for Zhang Qian. This distance seemed not that far away, but in fact it required countless efforts and time.
But Zhang Prisoner was already prepared for all this.
He still has eight days to get there, and relying on the method given by the Ying family, he can understand the "Haoyang Return to Breath".
And the purest blazing starlight condensed on the top of the mountain can also be absorbed by him, and the realm of the Martial Lord is right in front of him. At that time, he can take Yangshan to ascend and become a veritable master of the Holy Mountain!
Thinking of this, Zhang Qian's eyes flashed with enthusiasm.
That has been his long-cherished wish for many years!
That was his immediate dream!
No one can stop him from getting to this point!
Master! I will prove it! Prove that I am better than Sun Yu! I am the one who can lead Yangshan into the future!
He said this in his heart, stretched out one foot again, and continued to climb towards the top of the mountain!
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.
Zhang Qian was startled and looked back.
This place was close to the top of Haoyang. The scorching sun storm rolled up the yellow sand and obscured Zhang Qian's sight. He could only vaguely see a figure appearing below him, but he couldn't see who it was for a moment.
True.
How can it be?
Zhang Qian secretly thought, he carefully considered the people who came to the Star Gate this time, but it seemed that no one had the ability to get here.
He retracted his outstretched foot and stared at that place with deep eyes.
Could it be Li Danqing?
That guy was able to be the first to reach the Liyang Divine Staircase. This was somewhat beyond Zhang Qian's expectations, so he was alert and asked his disciples to delay him. Even if everyone from the Dafeng Academy arrived later,
It would take half a day to repel his disciples, right? He was half a day ahead of Li Danqing. How could Li Danqing catch up? His cultivation level was clearly at the Purple Yang realm!
Zhang Qian despised the prince who was exiled from Wuyang City from the bottom of his heart, but at the same time he had to admit that this guy brought him a lot of unexpected troubles!
Zhang Qian's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. At this time, the raging flames storm dissipated, and the field of vision in front of him briefly became a little wider. Zhang Qian also took this opportunity to see clearly the appearance of the person who came...
It's three people!
There is no Li Danqing, whom Zhang Qian considers a thorn in his side!
But the appearance of the other party still surprised Zhang Yuan—it was the three descendants of Fu Jian's royal family.
Zhang prisoner narrowed his eyes: How could it be them?
Fu Jian's princess, the heir to the ancient bloodline, and a man who knows nothing about the depths of things. The lineup sent by Fu Jian's royal family this time is luxurious, and there are also many weirdnesses in it.
But Zhang Qian's mind was all on Li Danqing and he didn't worry about these guys. Firstly, he was not mentally strong enough. He had a lot to prepare for this trip to Haoyangding. Secondly, in his opinion,
These three members of the Fu Jian tribe
Dragons and phoenixes among people, even if they have advanced cultivation, but without the assistance of Yangshan's skills, if they want to move forward in this starry gate covered with blazing sun and stars, they will need to expend several times more energy. Zhang Qian thinks that unless
They have martial arts level cultivation, otherwise they would never be able to reach this place, so naturally they would not bother to care about their purpose.
But now it seems that he still underestimated these guys...
Zhang Prisoner stared at the three people, but saw that their method of climbing the Stairway to the Fierce Sun seemed a little different. Among the three, Ran Ling was the leader. Whenever the Fierce Sun storm hit, they would stop where they were.
When the storm passed, Ran Ling would step up the steps at a certain point after observing for a while, and the two people behind him would follow suit.
Zhang Qian looked at it for a while and figured out the weirdness in it.
This Ran Ling possesses the most powerful bloodline power of the Fu Jian royal family - Eagle Eyes. At this point, for climbers, the most troublesome thing is obviously not the blazing sun and starlight that fills this space, but the moment.
Incessantly, the scorching sun storm poured down from the top of the mountain. The eagle eyes possessed by Ran Ling allowed her to see clearly the weakest link in the aftermath of the scorching sun storm when it paused, so she led the three of them all the way here.
.
After understanding what was going on, Prisoner Zhang was no longer surprised. At this time, the three people below also obviously saw Prisoner Zhang, who had been watching them.
Ran Ling smiled and waved towards Zhang Prison, showing her iconic tiger fangs.
"Zhang Shanzhu, you are so amazing, you came here alone!" Ran Ling said loudly, with a look of admiration on his face.
Zhang Qian, who had seen this girl's ruthlessness, naturally would not be confused by her words. He frowned and whispered: "I have underestimated the three of you. It seems that your target is also this Haoyang Ding?"
"Wow?! The mountain master also knows this, what a clever plan!" Ran Ling said loudly again, with an innocent attitude, and did not shy away from the purpose of this trip.
Zhang Qian had seen how ruthless this young girl was, so naturally he would not be fooled by her words. He asked sternly: "On the top of Haoyang is my Yangshan's magical skill "Haoyang Returning to Rest". Is it possible that you also want to
Want to learn something?"
"Hmph! We are not interested in your Yang Shan's breaking skills!" Ran Ling said disdainfully after hearing this.
"Then I don't understand what you are going to do on this trip. I hope the girl can help me clarify my doubts." Zhang Prisoner asked.
Ran Ling made a face at Zhang Prison at that time: "This is a secret!"
Zhang Prisoner frowned. He thought about it carefully. He really couldn't understand the purpose of the three people, but the speed of the three people was not slow. During the conversation between the two sides, under the leadership of Ran Ling, the three people started again.
Taking a step forward, Prisoner Zhang suddenly became alert. If he continued like this, he might be overtaken by these three people...
Zhang Qian understands that no matter what the other party's purpose is, the most important thing for him is to reach Haoyang Peak first.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu calmed down and stopped thinking about it. He raised his head and looked in front of him, ignored the three people, and started to continue climbing towards Haoyang Peak.
…
The tenth day after entering the Star Gate.
Li Danqing gritted his teeth and took a step towards the steps. This step was as important as a thousand pieces. After taking the step, Li Danqing gasped for air. After fixing it in place for a while, he finally swelled.
He mustered up the strength to stretch out his other foot and step forward.
Li Danqing has been walking on the Ladder of the Fierce Sun for seven days. From the beginning with ease to the current difficulty, Li Danqing has experienced ups and downs. Until now, he has caught up from behind and has surpassed many people. He carefully
After careful calculation in his mind, the only ones still in front of him were Zhang Qian and the three guys from the Fu Jian tribe.
Previously, he relied on the cooperation of the tenth vein gate in his body and the true fire of the blazing sun, and he was moving forward all the way.
But as he approached the core area - no more than a thousand steps away from Haoyang's head, Li Danqing's reliance became less effective.
To reach this point, climbers not only have to face the blazing sun and stars that permeate the space, but also need to withstand the scorching sun storms that pour down from the top of Haoyang from time to time. That is the biggest test on the mountaineering trip. And facing
Against this violent scorching sun storm, the scorching sun true fire and the tenth pulse gate that Li Danqing relied on could not bring much help, so Li Danqing gradually became difficult to deal with.
Li Danqing has encountered such a problem since about three days ago.
He had to stop and go, choosing to spend his time sizing up the starlight in situ to strengthen his body, and then adapt to the increasingly violent solar storm.
Although this process is boring, Prince Li is not without gains. At least the acupoints in the tenth channel have been opened by more than two hundred points in the process...
You must know that a normal warrior has only nine veins in total, and each vein has ten acupoints. In other words, the number of acupoints opened in Li Danqing's body at this moment has exceeded that of ordinary warriors by more than three times, and this is compared to
The remaining countless acupoints on the tenth channel seem to be just a drop in the bucket...
Two hundred and sixty-five, two hundred and sixty-six...
Li Danqing opened his eyes, calculating the numbers of the two newly opened acupoints in his heart, secretly thinking that with the increased physical strength, he should be able to take a few steps forward.
Thinking about this, he stepped up again. With a strong force, Li Danqing climbed up seven or eight steps one after another. He felt that he had reached the limit and had to stop again to absorb the power of the stars.
…
The twelfth day of arriving at the Star Gate.
Li Danqing, who was sitting cross-legged on the Stairway to the Lieyang God, opened his eyes again.
Three hundred and eighty-one, three hundred and eighty-two...
Li Danqing, who was thinking silently in his heart, opened his eyes again. As he went higher, the concentration of the blazing sun starlight in the space became greater, and Li Danqing devoured it faster, and his cultivation speed naturally increased. But with that,
In contrast, every time he climbed a step, the amount of energy Li Danqing needed to expend increased exponentially.
Two days ago, the physical improvement of opening two acupoints was enough to support Li Danqing to walk up ten steps. But now, opening two acupoints only allows Li Danqing to walk up four or five steps.
Had to stop again.
And Haoyang Ding was getting closer and closer. He calculated carefully that the distance between him and Haoyang Ding at this moment would not be more than 500 steps.
At this distance, the scorching sun storm almost continued all the time, and the visibility was extremely low. Li Danqing was not sure where the prisoner had gone...
He stepped up the five steps again. Li Danqing, who felt that he had reached the limit, could only stop on the spot and prepared to absorb the power of the stars again. But at this moment, he was approaching the Liyang Divine Staircase at the top of Haoyang.
, the scorching sun storm suddenly stopped suddenly, Li Danqing felt happy, and was thinking of taking advantage of this stall to take a few more steps up.
But the moment the storm stopped, Li Danqing was shocked by the neck in front of him...
In front of him, several figures were fighting on the Staircase of the Fierce Sun. Li Danqing looked closely and saw three disciples of Fu Jian's royal family besieging Zhang Prisoner...
Probably because of his suppressed realm, Zhang Yu, who had cultivated in the Divine River realm, was beaten back by the three members of the Fu Jian royal family and found it difficult to resist.
Li Danqing felt a little weird, but what was even weirder was that Li Danqing discovered them, and they also discovered Li Danqing.
Zhang Prisoner, who had never dealt with Li Danqing, actually looked happy when he saw Li Danqing, and he shouted to Li Danqing.
