Ye Li climbed up from the cliff and looked ahead. Xiu Nian's figure had disappeared long ago, and the high mountain of the destination stood not far away, looking extremely majestic and towering into the clouds.
However, he couldn't see the way up the mountain for the time being. Although he felt that the mountain was right in front of him, there was still a forest in front of him that he had to pass through first. Only after passing through this forest could he reach the real foot of the mountain.
It is just past noon now. Ye Li estimates that in about half an hour, he will reach the foot of the mountain. If there are no other challenges on the mountain, then he should be able to climb to the top of the mountain before dark.
He didn't know what the situation was like for other people, but he thought that even if the tests everyone experienced were slightly different, the difficulty shouldn't be too different, otherwise it would be too unfair.
He himself only has the strength of the early stage of the gestational period, but he knows that his speed is actually not much different from that of Xiu Nian in the late stage of the gestational period.
This means that the disciples in the late gestation period of other holy places should also be above this level.
Judging from the fact that Xiunian can use the secret techniques of the Śrāvakas and Pratyekabuddhas, this person is definitely one of the strongest elites in the sect, otherwise he would not have the honor of being able to pass on such secret techniques.
The strongest of the four holy places is Prajna Mountain. If the speed of their elite disciples in the late gestation period is not much different from Ye Li's, Ye Li feels that he has a certain hope of winning the top sixteenth place.
Not daring to waste any time, after seeing the surrounding situation clearly, he activated the Thunder Ring and ran forward madly at an extremely fast speed.
His movements were much faster than those of most people, but he knew that Xiunian's speed was not slow either, otherwise he should have caught up with her long ago with such a fast chase along the way.
After all, Xiu Nian is a person who possesses the Wind-walking Talisman Root. It is obvious that this guy also has the skill of traveling quickly, or he may have something similar to the Wind-Light Ring hidden, which he has never shown in front of Ye Li.
Since Ye Li wanted to settle accounts with Xiunian, he would not dare to underestimate the opponent's strength. After suffering a loss once, he did not want to be fooled by Xiunian's appearance again.
Half an hour passed quickly, and Ye Li successfully passed through the jungle in front of him as expected and arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Here he finally saw Xiunian again, and in addition, he also saw many other people.
On the high mountain in front, there are many mountain paths made of stone steps, running straight from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
There are now nearly ten figures scattered on these mountain paths, slowly climbing up the mountain, and Xiu Nian is one of them.
Looking at these people, Ye Li felt confused because there were obviously big problems with their climbing posture.
These people now all look like zombies, climbing slowly on the mountain path in a very stiff posture. It looks extremely abnormal.
Ye Li thought about it for a while and realized that there might be some other tests on this mountain road.
Ye Li looked carefully at the mountain path. He could see a total of seven people on this side of the mountain, but he could not see how many people were on the back side of the mountain.
But if we assume that there are the same number of people on both sides, then there are already fourteen people climbing the entire mountain.
This number is already quite large. Even if no one has reached the top of the mountain yet, Ye Li would be ranked fifteenth if he goes up the mountain now.
He looked at the person closest to him, and it was Xiunian who had plotted against him before. Ye Li looked at his back, and suddenly a surge of anger surged in his heart.
Xiu Nian was not far ahead of him now. It seemed that she had just climbed up the mountain path and had only walked slowly for about ten meters.
When Ye Li arrived in front of the mountain path, Xiu Nian would still be within his attack range.
Xiunian seemed to be completely unaware of Ye Li's presence and showed no sign of turning back. She just walked slowly towards the mountain with a slight trembling body.
Ye Li made a quick comparison and found that the climbing speeds of each person on the mountain were quite different, some were fast and some were slow, and Xiu Nian's speed could only be considered medium.
After hesitating for a while, Ye Li's anger finally got the upper hand. He bit his teeth hard, and his fingers instantly flicked, and a pair of golden sun fingers appeared in his hand.
A moment later, a blazing white flame shot out and shot towards Xiu Nian in front. Since the other party had intended to kill him, he should not show any mercy.
However, what Ye Li did not expect was that the flames he shot out did not touch Xiunian at all. His talisman attack instantly dissipated into the air just after entering the mountain path, as if it had never appeared.
Seeing this, Ye Li's expression changed, his eyes were full of shock. Just at that moment, when the talisman disappeared, he didn't feel anything, everything seemed like an illusion.
While feeling shocked, Ye Li released a golden talisman with a snap of his fingers. A series of golden swords condensed in the air and then shot madly towards Xiu Nian in front of him.
However, the result this time was no different from what I had just expected. The talisman just flew onto the mountain path and disappeared in an instant without any warning, as if it had entered another space. It was strange and inexplicable.
Ye Li was finally sure of one thing at this moment. No talismans were allowed to appear on this mountain path. It seemed that anyone who walked on the mountain path would fall into another test.
Although he didn't know what this test was, Ye Li was certain that this test absolutely did not allow any external interference, so his attack would have no effect at all.
After knowing this, Ye Li sighed and said, "It seems that there is something strange on this mountain road. I can't attack that guy."
Tunri said: "This mountain path is not simple, I can feel the owner's very strong power of law, which is much stronger than the general rune formation.
With your level of attainment, you cannot violate any of the rules on this mountain path. You can only act in accordance with the rules set forth above.
I advise you not to waste your energy attacking that guy. He has entered the realm of laws now, and your attack will not be effective.
If you really want to teach him a lesson, try to climb this mountain first. I don’t know what the test is, but if you can pass the test faster than him, you can teach him a lesson at the top of the mountain. "
Tunri was also somewhat angry about Xiunian's plot against Ye Li. It felt that it had already recognized Ye Li as its master. If Ye Li died, it would return to being ownerless again.
It might not be difficult for it to find another master, but it cannot guarantee that the next master will be as good as Ye Li.
