Chapter 521 Senior Brother, He Pretends to Be Cool, But He Is Really Crazy (49)
Looking up, there stood a jade-white staircase in the distance, surrounded by rich spiritual energy.
The stairs rose from the ground and slanted into the sky, with no end in sight.
What’s even more strange is that no one knows where the other end of the stairs is connected to, and there is a water curtain where the stairs sink into the sky.
This water curtain cascaded down from the sky like a waterfall, forming a small lake at the bottom of the stairs.
The lake water is crystal clear and the aura is rich.
Yuanyin's eyes moved slightly, and she walked to the lake to feel it carefully.
Indeed it is.
She turned around and glanced at the people behind her, her eyes fixed on Peng Yao, and waved to him.
Peng Yao didn't know why his master called him, but he still walked over obediently.
Mingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and stood between the two of them calmly.
Yuanyin glanced at him sideways, then looked at Pengyao who was standing there respectfully.
When Peng Yao was thinking about how to "fulfill his filial piety", his body suddenly felt lighter and he was swept under the waterfall by his master's sleeve.
Peng Yao was confused.
The waterfall hit him head-on and gave him a chill. He then opened his big black eyes and looked at Yuanyin on the shore with a confused look on his face.
"Master?"
Mingxuan was also surprised by her move.
As her former 'eldest disciple', Mingxuan lowered his head subconsciously and moved back a step inconspicuously.
Yuanyin did not notice his movements. Looking at Peng Yao in the lake, she solemnly warned through her sea of consciousness:
"Stay here for three sunrises and sunsets. If you still have energy, go climb the ladder to heaven."
Although Peng Yao didn't know why his master gave such an order, he sat cross-legged under the waterfall and said respectfully:
"Yes, Master, I understand."
But soon, he vaguely understood his master's intention.
Peng Yao didn't say anything all the time. Not long after he entered the secret realm, a faint voice sounded in his mind.
Especially when he encountered that group of demon cultivators, in addition to the voices that kept disturbing his mind, he always felt that a pair of eyes were always watching him.
The voices in my head became more mixed.
Peng Yao thought it was a meeting between enemies, so he remained silent.
However, not long after entering the lake, the demonic sound in his mind seemed to slowly dissipate.
Peng Yao felt calm and sat cross-legged under the waterfall, meditating seriously.
Yuanyin withdrew her gaze and turned her head to see Mingxuan staring at her without blinking.
Yuanyin's eyes curved slightly, and soon, a clear and gentle voice sounded in Mingxuan's mind.
"Brother, have you ever heard of 'Sun Moon Lake'?"
Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, and had a vague impression.
"Legend has it that at the place where the ancient mythical beast fell, its abdomen would turn into a spring. As time goes by, it will experience countless sunrises and moonsets, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and this water will have an indescribable miraculous effect."
Yuanyin nodded appreciatively, "That's right."
Mingxuan's back straightened even more.
Yuanyin continued, "I have seen relevant records about the Sun and Moon Divine Pond in the library before."
"It is said that this pool of water can, at the very least, reshape one's spiritual roots and bones, greatly improving one's talent for cultivation. At the worst, it can even help one transcend the calamity and ascend to heaven."
She had tried countless methods to remove the evil spirit root hidden deep in Peng Yao's body.
This 'Sun Moon Divine Pond' is the most effective and also the most difficult one.
I didn't expect to meet him in this ancient secret realm.
Yuanyin looked towards the end of the unreachable ladder and said in a sad voice, "The artifact we are looking for should be there."
Mingxuan also followed her gaze and his eyes deepened slightly.
After giving all the instructions, Yuanyin and Mingxuan were the first to step onto the ladder, heading towards the end of it step by step.
Those who followed closely behind were all outstanding people with outstanding talents.
Climb the ladder to heaven and try your best to have the chance to reach heaven.
Especially those sect leaders and elders who are already quite old, they originally thought that they had no hope of ascending to heaven in this lifetime.
I didn't expect to encounter such a great opportunity.
No matter what their demeanor was, they all rushed forward desperately with red bloodshot eyes from excitement.
They wished they could take hundreds of steps at a time, for fear that others would snatch away their chance to ascend.
Unfortunately, flying is prohibited on this ladder, so we can only climb up step by step.
What’s even more regrettable is that this ladder does not consider the level of cultivation, but only the quality of talent.
The heads or elders of the major sects who were in the Mahayana or Spirit Transformation stage watched Jingchan lightly walk past them.
And their progress became increasingly difficult.
They were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.
As the most outstanding disciple of this generation, Jingchan is naturally extremely talented.
Miao Shu, who was once as famous as him, can now only grit his teeth and chase after him.
By the time Jingchan stepped onto the 900th step, he had reached his limit.
Looking up, I vaguely saw two figures in front of me.
The two held hands and went up the stairs together.
Jingchan was startled and subconsciously looked around and then looked behind him.
Empty!
He was the only one who witnessed this scene!
Jingchan looked at the two people who seemed to be walking briskly as always, and sighed softly.
Then he sat cross-legged on the spot, absorbing the rich spiritual energy from the ladder to heaven.
As time passed, Mingxuan and Yuanyin were the only ones left climbing the 1000 steps.
Mingxuan glanced at Yuanyin beside him and saw a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. There was a look of worry in Mingxuan's eyes.
He raised his other hand to support himself, trying to resist most of the pressure from the two men.
Yuanyin held his arm and shook her head slightly.
She looked into Mingxuan's eyes and said seriously, "Brother, I want to do it myself."
Seeing the determination in her eyes, Ming Xuan tightened their clasped hands and whispered:
"Well, I'm with you."
Yuanyin's lips curled slightly, and the two of them raised their legs and moved upwards again.
1500.
2000.
2500.
2800...
At this time, Yuanyin's whole body was almost soaked in sweat.
Her lips were pale and cracked, and she was dizzy.
I tried very hard to lift my legs, but I was shaking so much that I couldn't take a step forward.
She was reaching her limit.
Mingxuan next to her was not much better than her, his face was equally frighteningly pale.
The two looked at each other, and Yuanyin found it difficult to even smile.
Mingxuan took a few quick breaths and looked up.
The end of the stairs seemed to be right in front of us, but the distance made people feel despair.
Ming Xuan decisively summoned his sword, grasped the hilt and stabbed it hard into the third step leading up.
With his other hand, he held Yuanyin's hand tightly and supported the hilt of the sword as he climbed up three more sections.
Yuanyin also summoned her own Qingshuang and imitated Mingxuan to move away from him.
The two of them took turns pulling each other and approached the end of the ladder with difficulty.
2855...
2890...
2930...
2988...
2992...
At this point, the two of them could no longer stand up.
All the strength was spent on resisting the terrifying pressure from the ladder.
Yuanyin's lips were slightly open, but no sound could come out of her throat, so she could only make some lip movements.
"Brother...I seem to have seen our Master..."
What she actually wanted to say was that she seemed to see that she was too breasty.
Suddenly she realized that in this world, she was a flower and there was no such thing as a Tainai.
Then the topic changed and turned to her master who rarely showed up.
Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, and looked up with difficulty, but saw nothing.
I belatedly noticed the self-deprecating sarcasm in her tone.
For some reason, Mingxuan laughed quickly, which caused his chest to hurt so much that he could hardly breathe.
He frowned in pain.
He clenched the slender fingertips in his palm and said in a hoarse voice:
"Yin'er, hold on, there are only a few sections left..."
The two of them held their breath and climbed up.
2993, 2994, 2995...
2998...
The last two quarters, only the last two quarters left.
Yuanyin lay on the steps, almost falling into a coma.
The terrifying pressure enveloped her, as if it would blow her away in the next moment.
Mingxuan's face was terribly pale and his hands could no longer hold the hilt of the sword.
Seeing Yuanyin's body staggering, Mingxuan's eyes turned bloodshot and his fingers were firmly embedded in the steps.
This is to stabilize the bodies of both people.
The blood flowed down the stairs and then fell into the bottomless abyss.
The pressure from the ladder mercilessly intensified again, pressing down on the two men. Mingxuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
His spiritual power was almost exhausted.
Looking at the finish line just before his eyes, Mingxuan's eyes showed a strong sense of unwillingness.
Just a little bit, just two quarters!
The fingertips of his hand slowly slid out of his palm, and Mingxuan turned his head suddenly to look over.
He was shocked to find that Yuanyin's body was slowly rising into the air, and in the blink of an eye, she might be knocked down to a height of ten thousand meters by this pressure.
With his spiritual power exhausted and his consciousness unconscious, even if he was a cultivator, his life would be in danger if he fell from here.
Mingxuan didn't even think about it, he rushed over and hugged Yuanyin tightly in his arms.
He used his back to resist this almost destructive pressure.
The two of them were blown away by the pressure and fell down together.
Mingxuan slowly closed his eyes as his consciousness began to fade away, but his hands still firmly protected Yuanyin's head.
If Mingxuan had let go of Yuanyin's hand just now, he might have had a chance to reach the top.
But this is also the most unlikely option.
If Yin'er was gone, he would not be able to survive.
Who cares about the flood behind you?
Saving the world had never been his first choice.
Yuanyin is it.
