Hongchen Mountain is tens of thousands of feet high, and the area at its foot is even wider, so even if tens of thousands of practitioners gathered at the foot of the mountain, it would not be a difficult task at all.
Yang Qi moved forward and soon arrived at the foot of Hongchen Mountain. He found a place to stand and waited for the protective formation of Hongchen Mountain to disappear.
Time passed by minute by minute. According to the convention that there was a two-hour interval between the opening of Red Dust Mountain and the disappearance of the protective array, the time for the protective array to disappear was getting closer and closer. During this period, many practitioners arrived, and there were even more practitioners watching this grand event.
Buzz~
Suddenly, the translucent light curtain covering Hongchen Mountain trembled, followed by a strange wave dissipating, and the translucent light curtain began to dissipate rapidly, which was a sign that the protective formation disappeared.
"The protective formation is about to disappear!"
“I wonder how many people will be able to reach the summit this time!”
Seeing that the protective formation was about to disappear, the practitioners who were watching this grand event began to discuss the matter. Of course, what they were most curious about was how many practitioners would eventually reach the summit.
"No more than a handful, I guess."
"That may not be the case. As far as I know, even the top monsters from the other two major forces are here this time. There will definitely be more."
“I guess no more than two digits!”
The practitioners looked at the practitioners who were preparing to climb the mountain at the foot of the mountain, and began to speculate. There were even people in the city who started betting based on the number of people who would eventually climb Red Dust Mountain.
While the practitioners who were watching the battle were discussing the matter, Yang Qi and others at the foot of the mountain were preparing to try to climb Hongchen Mountain as soon as the protective formation disappeared.
Climbing Hongchen Mountain does not mean that you cannot continue if you fail. You can continue to try to climb even if you fail, as long as you reach the summit within seven days. There have been precedents in history where failed practitioners continued to climb successfully.
Wow~
Finally, the protective formation that had been dissipating completely disappeared, and Hongchen Mountain appeared before everyone's eyes.
“Go!”
Almost at the moment when the protective formation disappeared, countless practitioners at the foot of the mountain immediately rushed towards Hongchen Mountain and climbed the mountain that was tens of thousands of feet high in front of them.
"It turns out that I can't use space means."
As soon as he stepped onto the Red Dust Mountain, Yang Qi discovered that the spatial means seemed to be ineffective, and he could only rely on the practitioners to climb the Red Dust Mountain on their own.
Not only could he not use space means, but even a high-level Martial Emperor could only take a step of ten feet on the Red Dust Mountain. You know, even if he couldn't fly, it would be easy for a normal high-level Martial Emperor to leap tens of thousands of feet. Unfortunately, on the Red Dust Mountain, he could only take a step of ten feet.
Um
After flying for hundreds of feet, Yang Qi's brows suddenly frowned, because he felt a faint power coming. Although it had no effect on him, he knew that the test of Hongchen Mountain was coming.
As Yang Qi continued to rush towards the top of Hongchen Mountain, the might became stronger and stronger. After climbing a thousand feet, the overwhelming might had suppressed ordinary high-level Martial Emperors, and the speed of the practitioners also slowed down.
"Flesh!"
Yang Qi's eyes focused. He wanted to reach the top, but he didn't know how long it would take. The attacking force was increasing. If he relied on his Yuan power to resist, his Yuan power would be exhausted sooner or later, and the role of his physical body would be reflected.
As the power of the attack continued to grow, the speeds of the practitioners, who were originally almost the same within a thousand feet, changed. Some practitioners with strong bodies began to lead the other practitioners, and this gap was constantly widening. The practitioners climbing the mountain began to show obvious differences in front and behind.
Yang Qi's physical body is definitely at the top level among the practitioners of the same level. Relying on his powerful physical body, Yang Qi's speed is also at the forefront among the mountaineering practitioners.
"The power is still increasing!"
As Yang Qi continued to move towards the top of the mountain, he could feel the mighty force increasing. Even with his physical strength, he began to feel uncomfortable. For an ordinary high-level Martial Emperor, if his physical body was not strong enough, his climbing speed would be extremely slow.
After climbing about three thousand feet, Yang Qi found that the attacking force was no longer increasing, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "It's not increasing any further?"
Climbing all the way here, even Yang Qi's speed was affected. An ordinary high-level Martial Emperor relying solely on his physical body would not be able to move an inch, but would definitely be as slow as a snail.
“It is indeed so!”
Yang Qi looked up and immediately found that many practitioners were still lingering at a position less than 2,000 feet. It should be noted that it had been almost an incense stick of time since the opening of Red Dust Mountain. The road ahead was also the easiest one. If the road ahead was so difficult, it would be almost impossible to reach the top.
"But so far, no practitioner has failed."
Yang Qi said secretly in his heart.
After all, those who came here are all high-level Martial Emperors, and now it is just a simple suppression of power. With the strength of high-level Martial Emperors, they will at most be extremely uncomfortable, and will not be defeated by the test of Hongchen Mountain, so naturally there is no question of failure.
Yang Qi looked at the endless Red Dust Mountain and said with emotion, "The road ahead will only become more and more difficult."
Whoosh~
Yang Qi stepped forward and continued to rush towards the top of Hongchen Mountain.
A middle-aged man in fancy clothes, who was about several thousand feet away from Yang Qi, looked at Yang Qi with a raised brow and muttered, "Who is this guy?"
There are only a few hundred practitioners who can still remain in the first echelon. Although the man in fancy clothes does not know all of these practitioners, he has heard of most of them. However, Yang Qi in front of him is different from any practitioner he knows.
"Could he be the disciple of some powerful hidden master?" A thought flashed through the mind of the man in fancy clothes.
As for the opportunity at Hongchen Mountain, even the other two major cultivation forces in Hongchen Star Domain would send disciples to participate. It was not surprising that the disciples of the hidden strong men would come to participate. Yang Qi's performance was quite extraordinary, and it was obvious that his origin was not simple.
Although he was curious about Yang Qi's background, the man in fancy clothes did not pay too much attention to Yang Qi. After all, mountain climbing was entirely dependent on the practitioners themselves, and there was no limit on the number of people. Therefore, whether Yang Qi could succeed or not had no impact on him at all. Besides, it was forbidden to take action in Hongchen Mountain, so even if he was jealous, it was useless.
Moving forward along the way, the group of practitioners walking in the front have already surpassed the practitioners at the back by more than twice the distance, and at this time the second test of Hongchen Mountain is also coming.
"Soul attack!"
Feeling the fluctuations at the soul level, Yang Qi's eyes focused, and he immediately understood that the test before him was soul suppression, which was the second test after the previous power suppression.
However, this test is not just a simple soul suppression, because the effect of the previous mighty suppression has not disappeared, that is to say, the practitioner must resist the mighty suppression while resisting the soul suppression! (To be continued)
