"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
Fortunately, everyone here is a human cultivator. If there were cultivators from the demon beast clan nearby and they were still so reckless, it might not be as simple as getting injured. It might put the entire human cultivator clan in great crisis.
With the lessons learned from the previous practitioners, the people present naturally did not dare to rush towards the stone tablet rashly, but approached it cautiously.
As everyone got closer, the resonance brought by the stone tablet became stronger and stronger. Under this resonance, everyone could clearly feel that the path around them became within reach.
Buzz~
Suddenly, a cultivator stopped. For some reason, he did not take another step forward. A bitter smile appeared on his face, and he said, "My fellow Taoists, I can no longer get closer to the stone tablet."
What
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the other practitioners changed slightly. Although everyone had anticipated the matter of getting closer to the stone tablet, they did not expect that the practitioners would be unable to get closer to the stone tablet so soon.
This scene also made everyone present understand that it is extremely difficult for practitioners to get close to the stone tablet, let alone try to obtain it.
Fortunately, the influence of the stone tablet on practitioners varies from person to person. Although the practitioner could not continue to approach the stone tablet, they could continue. The practitioners who could enter the original secret realm would not have a big difference in their cultivation realm. With the appearance of the first practitioner who could not continue to approach the stone tablet, some practitioners were unable to approach the stone tablet one after another.
In this way, when there were about a hundred feet left to the stone tablet, there were only a handful of people left. These few practitioners who were still persisting were all the practitioners with the highest achievements in their respective fields among the practitioners present.
Jian Nineteen, Wu Dan, Yang Qi and others were on the list. In addition, there were also the Flame Soul Emperor and the sword cultivator from the Sword Palace. The remaining practitioners were also champions of the twelve major forces' arena points battle.
As for Emperor Qingxuan and others, they could no longer get closer to the stone tablet. The remaining hundred feet distance was an unbridgeable chasm for them.
The remaining practitioners continued to move forward towards the stone tablet. After walking for dozens of feet, only two practitioners were left, still moving towards the stone tablet. They were Yang Qi and Jian Nineteen, the first two practitioners in the team who resonated with the stone tablet.
Just as Yang Qi was cautiously moving towards the stone tablet, Jian Nineteen beside him suddenly said, "Daoist Fellow Xu Xing, I can't get any closer."
What
Hearing Jian Nineteen's words, Yang Qi was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face. Jian Nineteen had sensed the stone tablet earlier than him. According to the distance of the practitioners approaching the stone tablet before, the practitioners who resonated earlier could get closer to the stone tablet. But now he could still get closer to the stone tablet, but Jian Nineteen could not. Why
As if he had seen through Yang Qi's thoughts, Jian Nineteen couldn't help but say, "It seems that our previous speculation was not completely accurate."
Because the process of approaching the stone tablet happened to be related to the order in which the practitioners resonated, everyone had long deduced that the distance to the stone tablet was related to the order in which resonance was produced. But now it seems that this speculation is obviously not completely accurate, otherwise Yang Qi would not have been able to go further than him.
Yang Qi nodded slightly. The only explanation for this situation was that they had made a mistake in judgment before. However, it was unrealistic to find out the specific reason now.
Therefore, Yang Qi could only continue to move towards the stone tablet. The resonance between the stone tablet and his heart of Tao became stronger and stronger. When he was about forty feet away from the stone tablet, Yang Qi found that he could no longer take a step. There seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of him, stopping him.
Although there is still about forty feet away from the stone tablet, this distance is hundreds of feet closer to the stone tablet than the first practitioner!
Phew~
Yang Qi took a deep breath and looked at the stone tablet in front of him. At this moment, the stone tablet had turned into a huge monster in his eyes, like the incarnation of Tao. As long as he stared at the stone tablet, he would be immersed in it unconsciously.
"Since we can't get any closer, let's stay and comprehend it!"
Yang Qi sighed in his heart, and immediately began to sit cross-legged to comprehend the way of fusion of wind and thunder. At this moment, the way of fusion of wind and thunder became within reach, so he comprehended it very quickly.
Um
In this way, more than a day passed, and Yang Qi suddenly opened his eyes and ended his retreat.
"That barrier... seems to have disappeared?"
Yang Qi looked at the stone tablet in front of him, and then tried to take a step. Then an unbelievable scene appeared. He actually walked about ten feet towards the stone tablet before he felt the existence of the barrier again.
"I see!"
After being stopped by the barrier again, Yang Qi finally understood what was going on. Although the cultivator was blocked, as long as he could gain some understanding, he could continue to approach the stone tablet, or even reach the location of the stone tablet, and it would not be impossible to collect the stone tablet.
Thinking of this, even Yang Qi couldn't help but feel a little desire in his heart. Once he got close to the location of the stone tablet, if he successfully collected the stone tablet, it would be equivalent to obtaining a source divine weapon!
Of course, Yang Qi also knew that the whole process would be extremely difficult. Although he was now less than forty feet away from the stone tablet, even with this forty feet, Yang Qi was not sure he could complete the journey within the remaining few years.
Although Yang Qi had been meditating for more than a day and had moved about ten feet closer to the stone tablet, he knew very well that this ten feet was nothing. The deeper you go in the path of cultivation, the more difficult it is to improve, especially when your Yuanli cultivation is limited, and your realm cannot be infinitely improved.
Therefore, Yang Qi knew very well that the remaining distance of less than forty feet would be extremely difficult!
However, being able to continue approaching the stone tablet at least gave the cultivators hope of collecting the stone tablet and obtaining the Source Divine Weapon. Yang Qi did not hide this news and directly informed Emperor Qingxuan and others of the matter.
Um
Upon hearing Yang Qi's words, Emperor Qingxuan and others were stunned, and then a bitter smile appeared on their faces.
Although Yang Qi's discovery was indeed good news for them, Yang Qi was not sure if he could get close to the stone tablet in the remaining few years, let alone them, the practitioners.
After all, Yang Qi's cultivation speed was the fastest among the crowd, and he was also the closest to the stone tablet. Even Yang Qi was not sure, let alone other practitioners. After these few days of meditation, they did not find that the barrier blocking them disappeared. In the remaining few years, it would not be easy to get closer to the stone tablet.
