Following the order from Queen Mei Qiqing, the heads of the eight major families, along with three elders, sat cross-legged on a hilltop a hundred feet west of Pingding Mountain.
They used all their strength to exert their powers. The valley began to make crackling sounds, and a hill slowly emerged between the two mountains. This was the road to the secret realm.
They have to hold on for more than half a month so that the contestants from the Ghost Clan Elite Training Department can successfully obtain the treasures in the secret realm.
Ye Xiangyang and Yu Qianqiang had never participated in the secret realm competition. Even the introduction of the elite training department was not very detailed. It was not that they were unwilling to give a detailed introduction. It was because this secret realm was extremely strange. Everyone who entered the secret realm would have different opportunities, and everyone who entered at different times would have different circumstances.
With such a change, how do you ask the Elite Training Department to introduce it? Isn't that too difficult
In this case, Ye Xiangyang and Yu Qianqiang didn't care about it anymore and just entered the secret realm step by step.
The mountain ahead is just a road leading to the secret realm. There is another canyon after this mountain. That canyon is called the Soul-stealing Valley. After the Soul-stealing Valley is the secret treasure mountain.
As all the students were allowed to enter the secret realm with their servants, the Chi family, Mei family, Wang family, Gui family... the eight major families and the people who participated in the training at the Queen's Palace took the lead and came to the mountain road. Following them was Yu Qianming, then the second-rate families, third-rate families, and finally the third-rate families and individual cultivators.
After Ye Xiangyang's repeated instructions, Yu Qianqiang walked last.
I am not familiar with the secret realm of Beiyin Mountain. Since it is only open for half a month, there is no need to rush.
The towering mountain is right in front of him. Ye Xiangyang’s spiritual power detected that there are a total of 9,999 steps on the mountain, which is the Nine Nine Supreme Steps. Could it be that there is something special on top of these steps
When Ye Xiangyang stepped onto the first step, the black snake blood in his body moved, and the feeling of blood connection immediately emerged in his heart.
When they were at the Four Sacred Mountains, the spirit of the weapon told Ye Xiangyang that the entire Xuanwu Continent was transformed by four powerful beings. They came here and brought these races with them, and even brought the celestial demon race.
The Four Xuanwu Saints transformed into the Four Sacred Mountains and also into the Xuanwu Continent.
The four sacred beasts who left their hometowns with the Four Xuanwu Saints back then included: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermillion Bird.
The ones headed by the dragon clan carry the Ancestral Dragon Pearl and the memories of the dragon clan (see "The Art of Dominating the Ancestral Dragon"); the ones headed by the Black Tortoise carry the Nine-horned Black Tortoise Cauldron and the memories of the Black Tortoise; the ones headed by the White Tiger carry the White Tiger Golden Eyes; the ones headed by the Vermillion Bird carry the Vermillion Bird Skyfire Sword.
The celestial demon was wreaking havoc, and the hometown of the Four Divine Beasts was on the verge of collapse. The Four Divine Beasts’ families sent them to a distant place, to settle down, rebuild their tribe, and endure humiliation in the hope that one would grow up to be a peerless genius, who would lead a group of people and enter the hometown of the Four Divine Beasts as a fresh force in the future.
Therefore, the flesh and blood of every race contains the blood or talent of one of the four sacred beasts.
Could it be that there is something in common between the ghost clan and the black snake? Otherwise, how could I feel the blood connection on the first step
Ye Xiangyang felt a very weak energy entering his body and slowly merging with his black snake bloodline. After standing on the first step for half an hour, Ye Xiangyang felt that this energy slowly disappeared and lost contact with him.
Ye Xiangyang told Yu Qianqiang about this feeling and asked him to carefully feel this level of energy.
It took Yu Qianqiang a quarter of an hour to sense this energy in front of him. He was ecstatic. He thought that the reason why these people from the ghost clan climbed up the mountain so quickly was probably because no one could feel this magical energy.
Think about it, I waited for a quarter of an hour on the first step before I could sense this energy. All of them were focused on going up there, so who could sense this energy
Yu Qianqiang looked at Ye Xiangyang with gratitude. If it were not for Ye Xiangyang, he would never have been able to sense this magical energy.
Below the mountain road, countless people are watching this winding mountain road. Countless people are watching who walks the fastest and who reaches the secret realm first. Whoever reaches the secret realm first may be the first to find the best resources.
As a result, they found that Yu Qianqiang and his medicine boy had stopped at the first step. People didn't understand what was going on.
Some shallow people laughed loudly: "Look, look at what's wrong with this kid from the Yu family. Is he afraid to move forward because the mountain is so steep? He actually stayed on the first step for half an hour. What a coward."
"Hehehe, you're still betting with 500 million Xuanwu silver coins. It's a penny. It's better to come back and not participate. You can earn 500 million steadily."
"There is no turning back in this secret realm. That is to say, once you step into the secret realm, it is absolutely impossible to turn back. You can only keep going forward."
"Hehe, if he wants to distance himself from others, we won't be able to catch him. He is wrong. The last level of the secret realm is the desolate forest. There is an exit there. Others are familiar with the route. It is impossible for him to escape."
Superficial people said so, but those emperor masters did not think so, especially Queen Mei Qiqing, who could see at a glance that the two of them must have gained something on the first step, otherwise, who would stay on the first step for half an hour.
Millions of years have passed, and countless secret realms have been opened. To be honest, no one has discovered that the first step here has a special function. In everyone's mind, this road up the mountain is just a road. Who would have thought that there would be adventures on the road
They silently speculated that they should stay on the first step for a long enough time to get something inside. The ghost clan has been passed down for countless years, and people all know that the real good things can only be found after passing Tongtian Road and Soul Snatching Valley. Most people are in a hurry to enter the secret realm to find their own opportunities, and this place is ignored.
These people have clear minds and are the smartest brains in Xuanwu Continent. They can see the crux of the problem at a glance.
Everyone made a mark in their hearts that from now on, if the secret realm was to open again, they would have to stand on the first step for half an hour.
Mei Qiqing values Yu Qianqiang even more, she thinks this boy really has unlimited opportunities.
Ye Xiangyang and Yu Qianqiang could not see anything behind them. It was a distant place shrouded in mist and clouds. They knew that the secret realm had something special that was beyond their imagination.
So, after the two people absorbed the energy of the first step, they both felt that there was something special in their bodies or blood.
Ye Xiangyang felt that the black snake blood in his body had been replenished a little, although it was small, it was definitely there.
Yu Qianqiang felt the changes in his blood, but he didn't know what the changes were.
They stepped onto the second step, feeling nothing. They stayed there for a quarter of an hour, feeling nothing.
The third one, I felt nothing; the fourth one, I felt nothing… until the seventh one, I felt something.
This time, the two of them sat cross-legged on the seventh step. An extremely gentle energy slowly entered their bodies. They could feel that the energy on this step was a little more than the first step.
People were watching their performance on Tongtian Road, and many of them were laughing, laughing at them for pretending to be profound and pretentious.
Yu Feng definitely didn't think so. He believed that Yu Qianqiang must have obtained something, which was quite mysterious, otherwise it wouldn't have taken millions of years for so many ghosts to discover it. Yu Qianqiang was able to discover it, which was his unique opportunity.
Yu Mingxiu had bright eyes and a youthful look on her face: "Grandfather, why don't my brothers leave quickly?"
Yu Feng smiled happily: "Silly girl, your brothers have obtained the inheritance on Tongtian Road."
Yu Mingxiu smacked his lips a few times: "Ancestor, the road to heaven leads to the road to heaven, which means that this road can lead to heaven, so the inheritance they can get seems to be no less than what they get in the depths of the secret realm."
Yu Feng slapped his head and thought, yes, the road to heaven. Does it mean that the inheritance obtained on this road can improve people's qualifications and enable people to have the ability to reach the sky
He stroked Yu Mingxiu's head lovingly: "Xiaoxiu is really smart. Your brother might make a fortune."
Ye Xiangyang and Yu Qianqiang climbed up the mountain. The twelfth one had one, the eighteenth one had one, the twenty-fourth one had one, the thirtieth one had one…
No wonder this secret realm is related to sixty years. It opens once every sixty years. It turns out that this secret realm has a direct relationship with six.
The first step took half an hour; the seventh step took half an hour; the twelfth step took half an hour; the eighteenth step took half an hour; by the sixtieth step, Yu Qianqiang and Ye Xiangyang discovered that they had only used a quarter of an hour.
When they reached the stairs, energy rushed toward their feet.
It was already dark, and there was a crescent moon in the sky. Only Yu Qianqiang and Ye Xiangyang were slowly climbing the endless steps. They had half a month, and they were not afraid even if they wasted a little time here.
Outside the secret realm, countless eyes were fixed on the two people on the steps, watching them climb slowly step by step. Under the vast moonlight, their figures became smaller and smaller.
Those who have already reached the Soul Snatching Valley noticed that Yu Qianqiang and Yao Tong had not arrived yet. Some people chuckled, "Captain, are these two guys scared and dare not show up in front of us? Otherwise, why haven't they reached the mountain peak in a day?"
"Hehehe, there is such a possibility. These two guys thought they were so great at the time, but now they look back and feel scared."
"Well, what you said makes sense, but we don't have to pay attention to them now. Let's wait until the end of the secret realm, the desolate forest."
"Hehe, if we can get 1 billion Xuanwu silver coins, or 500 million Xuanwu silver coins, there will be fewer difficulties on our path of cultivation."
They were plotting against Yu Qianqiang and Ye Xiangyang, and each small group had greed deep in their hearts.
