Old Wei chuckled and said: "A neutral place with poor mountains and bad waters, is it a place where you live for a long time? Although you will be subject to some restrictions in the empire, it will be a foundation for hundreds of generations and can be passed on to future generations. Your Excellency Carol will be the first ancestor of the clan. How can this be the same? Don't say anything else, just say how long those ordinary descendants can live in a neutral land?"
Carol nodded secretly. Even if it is her, there is no guarantee that all descendants will have cultivation talents in the future, and the force of the neutral land fluctuates violently, and the environment is extremely harsh for ordinary people. If you can't cultivate the original force, your lifespan will be quite short. Therefore, both the strong and the weak put reproduction and family continuation at a very important position.
Elder Wei said proudly again: "Being king and hegemony in a neutral place is the same as dividing one side in the empire?"
This also makes sense. After all, the neutral land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are not many valuable people or places. Being king here is indeed not as good as being the lord of a small city in the rich land of the empire.
"Okay, I'll help you this time." Carol made up her mind.
Elder Wei nodded, raised his hand and pointed upwards, and said, "If what I expected is correct, this section of stairs is called Wenxin Road. From here on all the way up, the higher you go, the greater the pressure. This pressure is the same as the original It is related to strength and cultivation base, the higher the cultivation base, the more difficult it is to move forward, so it is called asking the way of mind. It means how far you can go depends on the heart of a strong person."
Following the direction of his finger, everyone vaguely saw a stone tablet standing high in the clouds. There are words vaguely written on the stele, but the content is not clear. Even Carol didn't know what was written on it. But when you walk in front of you, don't you see it clearly? So she strode forward without hesitation, and began to climb along the mountain path.
The so-called heart of the strong is nothing but will. Being able to cultivate into a master, Carol's will is as hard as steel, so how can she be afraid of this kind of test. Instead, Kemal and others need to be careful.
Everyone climbed all the way, gradually bypassing the mountain. Carol took the lead, if it wasn't for waiting for the people behind, she would have left long ago. Old Wei is still neither fast nor slow, but his speed is not slow either. When they got here, several senior fighters were struggling, but they gritted their teeth, moved forward step by step, and gradually began to fall behind.
Old Wei sighed softly, and said: "It's fate for you to come here with me. I will help you one more time. As for whether you can climb to the top, it depends on your own luck."
After finishing speaking, he took out the ancient scroll, turned to the last few pages, and with a wave of his hand, several rays of light fell on these warriors, immediately making them feel light all over, and the pressure of the huge mountain was relieved by half. After finishing all this, the light of the ancient scroll was gone, only the back cover still had some gleam.
Grateful and frightened at the same time, the soldiers knelt down to thank Old Wei, and followed silently.
With the level of asking the mind, it is useless even if you bring thousands of troops. In addition to the underground labyrinth in front, as well as the rock crystal giant crocodile guarding the giant gate and other levels, even if you take the entire army into the ground, only a few strongest can reach the peak in the end.
As we walked, the peak was still hidden in the clouds and mist, and the mountain road seemed to never end. And the fog gradually appeared below, and the ground was only faintly visible. After climbing for a while, I am afraid that when I look back, there will be a sea of clouds.
Carol finally couldn't help asking: "Old Wei, who was that person back then?"
It is frightening that this person is able to set up such a trick of asking people's mind.
"This person's name is taboo, I dare not, and I don't want to mention it. You just need to know that he is an indomitable person in the entire empire, and that's enough."
Having said that, it's almost the same. There are only a few heavenly kings in the empire, and this person must be one of them.
Carol didn't ask any more questions, but just felt sincerely, and suddenly said: "After this time, I will go to the Empire with you."
Boss Wei was overjoyed, and said: "Your Excellency Carol has made such a decision, which is really the joy of the empire. I guarantee that the empire will definitely crack the soil and seal the throne, waiting for it!"
Carol sighed, and said: "Territory and wealth are not that important. It's just that I thought that I was not far from the peak. Today I realized that I am still far away from the real peak of all living beings." Impossible. Elder Wei, I just hope that after arriving in the empire, I can meet some heavenly kings and get some pointers."
Wei Lao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This matter is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say. I dare not guarantee that every heavenly king can see it, but at least one of them will give advice, and there will be no problem."
Carol nodded, continued to go up, and walked for a while, she suddenly frowned and said, "Strange, why can't I see Qianye?"
After she said that, everyone remembered that Qianye hadn't left for a long time. They were chasing after them with all their strength, but they circled the mountain several times, but they still didn't see Qianye. Doesn't this mean that Qianye's speed is no slower than them, so the two sides are always separated by a mountain peak. There is another possibility, and that is that Qianye's speed is far faster than everyone else, and he is already high above, covered by clouds and mist, so he can't see it naturally.
Everyone including Carol naturally ruled out the second possibility. After going through this period, everyone discovered that the higher the cultivation level, the better the performance. Pressure can't smooth out all the gaps, and whether you can reach the top in the end depends on your cultivation.
Several senior fighters have the blessing of Wei Lao, and their performance is not much worse than Kemal. In other words, no matter what, he should be stronger than Qianye. So if Qianye's speed can be equal to theirs, it is already a super-level performance.
Carol looked up, and the stele that Elder Wei was pointing at was still in the clouds, as if the distance hadn't gotten any closer. But there seemed to be more figures in front of the stele. She was taken aback, and when she looked carefully again, she saw clouds and mist surging, and she couldn't even see the stone tablet.
At this moment, Qianye was standing in front of a ten-meter stele, looking at it with fascination. On the surface of the stele are engraved a few big characters: "Hate the sky without mercy, manpower is sometimes poor, what can I do! Ji Wentian."
These big characters with iron hooks and silver strokes rushed to his face with the meaning of killing loneliness. In an instant, the sky and the earth disappeared before Qianye's eyes, replaced by a vast wilderness stretching as far as the eye can see. In the middle of the wilderness, a man in a blue shirt with big sleeves was screaming up to the sky, shaking all the time.
The illusion disappeared in an instant. This is not a phantom mirror intentionally arranged, but the force of the person who left the book on the stele is shaking the heavens and the earth. I don’t know how many years have passed, but the artistic conception was still there when the book was left, which made Qianye feel something, and this led to the hallucination .
With Qianye's will, and it was not intentionally arranged, the writing on the stone tablet can still cause him to hallucinate, which is really terrifying. Qianye said silently: "Ji Wentian, Ji Wentian?"
The name seems to have some impression, but it is very vague, and Qianye can't remember where he heard it. But Ji is the emperor's surname, so is Ji Wentian a member of the emperor's family
As soon as he thought of the imperial family, Qianye suddenly remembered that the number one powerhouse recognized by the empire today, Zhiji King, seemed to be named Ji Wentian! It's just that King Zhiji is very famous and his status is extremely respected, so few people dare to call him by his name directly. Over time, people in the world only know about referring to Ji Wang, but they don't know about Ji Wentian.
This stele was actually left by the King of Extremes!
Qianye's heart was shaken, and he was even more curious about what the peak was, and what happened back then, which made a once powerful person like Zhiji King sigh with regret, feeling powerless.
He looked towards the peak, renewing his desire to explore. Since King Zhiji left this stele, the road to the summit is more of a test than a tribulation. At least judging from the artistic conception of the words left on the stele, there is no murderous intent.
The peak was still deep in the clouds, Qianye continued to climb. After crossing the stone tablet, the pressure increased sharply, Qianye felt weak all over his body, but the burden on his body became heavier and heavier, as if he was carrying a huge burden. With such pressure, it would be difficult for ordinary warriors to move an inch, but Qianye urged the blood core to speed up the pulse, and wherever the burning gold blood passed, it immediately ignited raging vitality. Qianye's spirit lifted, he climbed up with big strides, walking like flying.
At the bottom at this moment, Carol and Wei Lao still maintained the same speed and continued to climb. Kemal's face was no longer as relaxed as it was at the beginning, but became a little dignified. Occasionally, when I look up at the clouds not far above my head, there will be a haze in my eyes.
The high-ranking fighters who had been blessed by Elder Wei seemed to be struggling at the moment, and they distanced themselves. Two people obviously couldn't resist the pressure, they walked more and more slowly, and gradually distanced themselves from the main force. The soldiers who were able to persist were also not in good condition. Some were pale, some were sweating profusely, and some continued to use secret methods to stimulate their physical potential. Everyone can see that they are close to the limit, and reaching the summit has become an unattainable dream.
Elder Wei finally looked back and said, "If you really can't hold on, just rest where you are. If you are lucky enough, after you succeed, this questioning mentality may disappear."
He didn't say what would happen if he was unlucky. The ending was so obvious that no special reminder was needed.
But at this time, a soldier dared to say: "What will happen if we stop to rest?"
"Qing Xinlu naturally needs a lot of energy. The coercion here is everywhere, even if you stop to rest, it will always erode your original force. So you only have one chance to rest, and the old man does not know whether you can stand up after the rest. I know." Wei Lao explained with rare patience.
The soldiers were all shocked, gritted their teeth, and no one talked about rest. However, willpower always has an end. As we walked, some people began to fall behind.
With a start, more and more fighters fell behind. When the last two fighters fell to the ground, Kemal had to take the boxes they were carrying, put them on his back, and continue climbing. It's just that at the moment he was sweating on his forehead, it was obviously not easy.
Elder Wei sighed a long time, and said, "It's not just the firmness of the heart that's being tortured. The so-called earth dragon suppression is actually the self-restraint of our body's vitality. Whether we can maintain our body's vitality depends partly on ourselves, and partly on daily accumulation. Then Qianye is only at the twelfth level in terms of origin power, but he can come here, aren't you ashamed?"
