"That's right, it must be here. This is a small world created by the saint. (.woo.oxue)" An old man said with excitement as he looked at the stone platform towering into the sky.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Looking at the stone platform that was more than a thousand meters high, they suddenly realized that if a small world had not evolved here, this stone platform must have broken through the hillside above the underground palace.
Hua Yunfei looked happy and said: "What are you waiting for? Let's go quickly!" After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the stone steps that were like a road to the sky.
Plop, plop!
The children of the major aristocratic families walked forward unwilling to lag behind. Everyone felt that there was something wrong with the dozen or so steps they were walking on. They felt that the strength on their feet was getting heavier and heavier. Every step they took was extremely laborious.
Ji Changkong stopped, closed his eyes and felt it carefully. When his legs were lifted into the air, there was no resistance, but as soon as he landed on the stone steps, he immediately felt that a little bit of his power was taken away.
After a while, Ji Changkong opened his eyes and said, "There's something wrong with this place. Every time you take a step, you have to absorb a little bit of vitality. At first, I didn't think it was a big deal. But after you take more steps, it becomes obvious."
Everyone stopped when they heard the words. After carefully feeling it, their expressions were extremely surprised. They looked up at the seemingly endless stone steps. Who could reach the top of the mountain after such a long journey.
Hua Yunfei said: "We have reached the last step. We can't just give up. At worst, when our energy is about to run out, we can just leave."
Ji Changkong said with a wry smile: "That's the problem. You can try walking back now. Just take one step."
A great martial artist listened to his words and tried to walk down. As soon as he took a step, he felt a lot of vitality being absorbed. He panicked for no reason and wanted to escape from this place. He took a deep breath and prepared to jump directly.
In the horrified eyes of everyone, they watched as the man's body in the air slowly withered. When he finally landed on the ground, he turned into a white skeleton, and all the flesh on his body disappeared.
"What's going on? The life force can be consumed so much. Is this stone platform a devil?" A great martial artist of the Jiang family said with great fear and trembling.
The faces of all the children of the aristocratic families were also extremely pale, Shitai could be so terrifying. Is this really the legendary road to heaven? It is said that it is difficult to get to heaven, but is it even more difficult to get to heaven
Ji Changkong frowned and said: "Warriors in the realm of great martial masters, if they have not inherited the martial soul, can leave. Don't jump from the air, as there will be no way to survive."
Soon all the great martial artists began to walk slowly down. There were only a dozen steps, but they felt as long as thousands of meters.
boom! When a great martial artist reached the third to last step, he couldn't hold on anymore and turned into a pile of bones and fell to the world with a bang.
The people nearby were frightened for a while. Some people couldn't help but saw that there were only two steps and jumped down directly. As a result, it exploded into pieces with a bang.
When all the great martial artists reached the bottom of the stone platform, they all breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sat down on the ground, crossing their legs to regain their own energy.
Those still standing on the stone steps, except for the princes of several major families, all have martial master-level cultivation. Gui Yihou looked at the top of the stone steps and murmured: "There are at least 10,000 stone steps." Even if you can go up the stairs, how can you get down?"
These words are like a hurdle in everyone's heart that cannot be overcome no matter what. So far, everyone has not consumed much energy. But when you think about the higher you go, the greater the consumption will be when you come down, and a shadow of death hovers over everyone's heads.
Ji Changkong said calmly: "Thousands of years ago, after the Thunder Emperor disappeared, the Great Qin Kingdom never had a Martial Emperor. Even the Martial Saint didn't know if there was one."
"Now we have a great opportunity in front of us. Even if we have a narrow escape, we may not be able to survive. No great emperor in the past and present has had a smooth journey."
After Ji Changkong finished speaking, he took the lead and walked up. Several people here had extraordinary talents. No one would be willing to be a stepping stone for others, so he followed them without hesitation.
Along the way, everyone saw a lot of bones lying on the stone steps. The more they went up, the more bones they had. The stone steps were almost covered with white bones, and everyone could not avoid them, so they had no choice but to crush the bones and move forward.
Continuing forward, the corpses on the stone steps began to appear intermittently with purple skeletons. Everyone said in surprise: "This is a master of the Martial Emperor level. How many masters are buried on these stone steps? Even the Martial Emperor cannot escape death." "Fate?"
Ji Changkong didn't speak and continued to walk forward. Everyone slowly followed him. They had fallen to this point and everyone had no way out.
A martial master from the Jiang family suddenly spoke and said in surprise: "There seems to be a person in front of you!"
Everyone looked up and looked carefully. There seemed to be a faint figure standing in front of them on about a hundred steps, with his back to everyone.
How could there be anyone here? The entrance to the underground palace was clearly opened by the Duanmu family unintentionally. There is absolutely no other entrance besides this. How this person came in and walked in front of them, everyone felt more and more weird the more they thought about it.
Ji Changkong held the long sword in his hand, a bright starry sky appeared in his eyes, and endless galaxies were brewing in his body, ready to take action at any time, and everyone behind him was tense and ready.
As they approached, everyone saw the figure clearly and took a breath of air. It was actually a headless corpse with a long sword on his back. There were numerous white bones and several purple skeletons at his feet.
But he still stood proudly. He didn't know how many years had passed. His body was filled with the aura of reincarnation, and a faint coercion spread around him.
The starry sky in Ji Changkong's eyes disappeared, and he said with some surprise: "This is the corpse of a martial saint. Judging from the clothes on his body, he should not be from ancient times."
"Even the Martial Saint has died here. What is the origin of this stone platform?" A Martial Lord said with some horror. The majestic Martial Saint is a person who can crack mountains and split the earth, and move mountains and seas.
Ji Changkong shook his head and said: "Don't think too much. This Martial Saint was obviously killed by someone, not on these stone steps, otherwise his body would have turned into a pile of bones."
At this moment, Hua Yunfei suddenly walked up to the corpse with an excited expression, looked at the sacred river symbol on the collar of his clothes, and said loudly: "This is a senior of my Hua family."
After he finished speaking, he looked around the man carefully, uncovered a pile of bones, and saw a line of small words on the stone steps. He read it out in a low voice, "Hua Tianyu stops here. If there are any descendants of the Hua family, If you come here, please leave quickly."
"Hua Tianyu, isn't that the third head of the Hua family? According to legend, the most talented head of the Hua family disappeared in his later years. Some people speculated that he was promoted to Emperor Wu. Unexpectedly, he died here." Someone next to him was surprised. said.
Hua Yunfei said calmly: "This corpse is an ancestor of my Hua family. I don't think you will fight with me for the things on him."
After he finished speaking, he was about to take off the space ring from Hua Tianyu's hand. The space ring of a martial saint must contain valuable treasures.
Whoops!
A black long sword was lying in front of him. Ji Changkong sneered: "Hua Yunfei, have you forgotten what you said so quickly? If we find a treasure, we must find it according to the family no matter what. It’s shared, you won’t keep your word.”
Hua Yunfei's face turned cold and he said, "What do you mean? This is the head of my Hua family. His things belong to my Hua family. Why should I give them to you?"
Jiang Mingxun snorted coldly and said: "This is the ownerless corpse. It has been a thousand years. He died in the wilderness. He is a secret treasure in his own right. Everyone has contributed to getting here. Why are you so cheap?" The Hua family.”
People from other major aristocratic families didn't want to take advantage of the Hua family, even though logically speaking, the body did belong to the Hua family. But who will reason with you in the face of real interests? Hua Yunfei cannot suppress everyone, and he cannot stop other people's greed.
Hua Yunfei laughed angrily and said three good words in a row, "Ji Changkong, I remember you, and Jiang Mingxun, don't think that the Ji family can protect you all your life."
He pushed away the long sword in front of him, took off the space ring in Hua Tianyu's hand, and poured out all the contents with a thought.
Wow!
A lot of things fell out, including spiritual stones, elixirs, soul weapons, martial arts, and armors, covering the entire stone steps. Especially the large number of spiritual stones attracted people's attention.
Among this large pile of lower-level spiritual stones, everyone even saw a few intermediate-level spiritual stones, which were real magic treasures. The children of these aristocratic families more or less possess some low-level spiritual stones, but it is absolutely impossible to possess intermediate spiritual stones.
Spirit stones are natural ores, and the spiritual energy contained in them is not only pure but also large. For low-level warriors, it can directly improve their small realm, while high-level warriors can quickly replenish the consumed vitality.
However, the spiritual mines in Da Qin are extremely rare. Each aristocratic family only has one or two mines, and they are not good mines. It is impossible to produce high-level spiritual stones, and even mid-level spiritual stones are rare.
Ji Changkong smiled faintly and said, "Brother Hua, is this right? With these spiritual stones, we will be more hopeful when we reach the top of Shitai."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head to the ground and sorted the things poured out of the space ring. Suddenly he saw a broken sword of Hideyoshi, and said with a smile: "Brother Hua, there is no need to divide this sword, you can keep it." , This should be an incomplete holy weapon. If it can be completely repaired, then Brother Hua, you will make a lot of money. "
Hua Yunfei casually threw down the broken sword handed over by Ji Changkong and said angrily: "Ji Changkong, don't go too far!"
Ji Changkong smiled softly and said calmly: "Don't be angry, Brother Hua, I have sorted out the things for you. There are ten pieces of intermediate spirit stones, about a hundred pieces of low-level spirit stones, three books of martial arts of the earth level, and earth level Three soul weapons, one earth-level battle armor, and five bottles of various sixth-grade elixirs.”
Everyone was shocked. The things that Wu Sheng carried were indeed terrifying. The value of these items together was more than the accumulation of the entire Jiang family in hundreds of years.
