Chapter 1389 Ladder to Heaven

Previously when he was in Ruoshui Palace, Fang Bai had already understood the entire process of the "Tianjiao List" battle from the mouths of more than a dozen senior officials of Ruoshui Palace.

Therefore, he naturally knew that the major Xiantian sects in the Zhenwu world gathered in the Tongtian Mountains to compete for one hundred places to enter the Lotus Pond Secret Realm through martial arts competitions.

Hearing Gu Yan mention this matter, Fang Bai glanced at him and saw his eyes flickering and he hesitated to speak. He seemed to have something to say, so he said: "Elder Gu, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

Gu Yan grinned and said in a low voice: "Senior Fang is here to enter the secret territory of the lotus pond, right?"

Fang Bai did not deny this and nodded calmly.

Gu Yan hesitated for a moment and said: "In that case, I wonder if Senior Fang is interested in cooperating with our Shenhuo Sect?"

Fang Bai was startled and said in confusion: "Cooperation? What do you mean?"

Gu Yan said energetically: "Let's join forces to get the quota to enter the Lotus Pond Secret Realm, and then go to Tongtian Peak to climb the Ladder to Heaven together..."

"etc!"

Fang Bai interrupted Gu Yan's words, frowned and asked, "What does climbing the ladder to heaven mean?"

From what Gu Yan said, it seems that the importance of "climbing the ladder to heaven" is more important than competing for the one hundred places to enter the secret realm of the lotus pond.

But when Fang Bai was discussing the "Tianjiao List" battle with the senior officials of Ruoshui Palace, he never heard them talk about what "climbing the ladder to heaven" meant.

Gu Yan said seriously: "Senior Fang is here for the first time in the Tongtian Mountains. I don't know the beauty of the heavenly ladder! For us warriors, the ninety-nine and eighty-one steps on the Tongtian Mountains, if we can climb the tenth and eight steps , and then practice cross-legged on it, the effect will be even better than soaking in the colorful lotus pond!"

After a pause, Fang Bai's eyes brightened, knowing that he was attracted, he was secretly happy in his heart, and sighed: "It's just that the Tongtian Peak is easy to climb, but the ladder to heaven is difficult to climb!"

Fang Bai asked: "How difficult is it?"

Gu Yan pointed to the virgin forest ahead and said, "Senior Fang, let's talk while walking?"

Fang Bai nodded and walked side by side with Gu Yan and another Shenhuo Sect elder. The three of them walked into the dark primeval forest together.

A dozen other Shenhuo Sect disciples held out their spiritual weapons and followed closely behind.

Gu Yan and another Shenhuo Sect elder were both high-level innate powerhouses, and Fang Bai was a perfect innate powerhouse. With their strength, the three of them were naturally not afraid of attacks from innate-level spiritual beasts.

But those dozen Shenhuo Sect disciples were mostly high-ranking and perfect Yu-level experts. If an innate-level spirit beast attacked and they were not fully alert, they would most likely suffer disaster.

"I don't know who built the ladder on Tongtian Peak, but it seems to have existed very early..."

Gu Yan and Fang Bai walked side by side and said as they walked: "There are ninety-nine and eighty-one steps in the ladder. Every time you climb a step, you will encounter greater pressure and resistance, but the vitality of the world around you will also increase." It will become a bit pure and rich. However, warriors who cannot reach the innate realm will find it difficult to climb the Heavenly Peak, let alone the magical ladder."

When Fang Bai heard this, he became more and more interested in the ladder on the Tongtian Peak, and asked: "How many steps has the ancient elder climbed?"

Old Gu Yan blushed and said with a bitter smile: "Ashamed! When my cultivation was at the innate primary level, I once climbed to the twentieth step of the ladder to heaven. Then I could no longer walk, so I practiced cross-legged on the twentieth step. Seventy-seven and forty-nine days passed. When I ended my cultivation state, my cultivation level actually broke through to the innate intermediate level..."

"On the 77th and 49th day, you advanced to a small level? Is it so fast?"

Fang Bai raised his eyebrows and was greatly moved.

If what Gu Yan said is true, then the "ladder to heaven" he mentioned is an extremely rare treasure land for cultivation. No matter what on this trip, I must go there to see it.

"If I tell the truth in one word, the heavens will strike with thunder!"

Seeing Fang Bai's expression of doubt, Gu Yan immediately swore solemnly and said: "It's a pity that the Lotus Pond Secret Realm will only be opened once every five years, and it can only be opened for seven or seventy-nine days at a time. After I advance, I can't stay any longer. , had to leave."

Fang Bai asked: "What about five years later? You have advanced to the high level of Xiantian today?"

"No no……"

Gu Yan shook his head and said: "If I were a genius, I might be able to use the ladder to advance to a small level again in five years. Unfortunately, my qualifications are average. I climbed the ladder four times, and in the end I only reached After reaching the fortieth level, I practiced there for seventy-seven and forty-nine days, and then I got my wish and advanced to the innate high-level realm."

Having said this, he pointed to another elder of the Shenhuo Sect beside him and said: "I am limited by my qualifications, so there is little hope of being promoted. I am here mainly to accompany Elder Liu Che and Liu for a walk. Come. Elder Liu is the most promising among the four elders of our Shenhuo Sect to advance to the realm of innate perfection. He has been here three times before, and has made slight progress each time. I hope there will be a surprise this time."

Fang Bai glanced at Liu Che and sensed that his warrior aura was indeed slightly stronger than that of Gu Yan. If there was strong external help, he might really hope to advance to the realm of innate perfection.

In addition, Fang Bai guessed that the ladder must have been created by a strong man from a high plane, and placed on Tongtian Peak, perhaps to provide an opportunity for warriors in the true martial arts world to advance.

While the two were talking, their steps were flying, without stopping, and in the blink of an eye they had penetrated more than a hundred miles into the primeval forest.

During this period, several spiritual beasts that were comparable to the innate early-level human beings appeared in front of them. However, after sensing the strong auras of Fang Bai and the others, they knew they could not afford to provoke them, so they fled far away.

"Elder Gu, is there anyone who can climb the highest step on that ladder?"

Fang Bai suddenly asked.

Gu Yan thought about it carefully and then said: "It's really hard to say. The ladder was too high that day, and each step was a hundred feet away. Based on this assumption, the eighty-one steps of the ladder were nearly ten thousand feet high. In addition, The ladder to the sky is at the top of Tongtian Peak, and the height is even more astonishing. The top dozen steps of the ladder have penetrated deep into the clouds in the sky, and the scene above the clouds cannot be seen at all..."

When Fang Bai heard that the ladder was so high, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised. He thought that in the sky thousands of feet above, the sky wind was so powerful and the air current surged that ordinary innate experts might not be able to bear it.

Just listen to Gu Yan continue to say: "However, in the past hundred years, it is said that several innate perfectionists have reached the last dozen steps above the clouds, but it is unknown whether they have reached the top."

Fang Bai asked curiously: "Why is this?"

Gu Yan said: "Because those few innate perfectionists never came down after they went up. Many warriors speculated that it might be because the environment of the last dozen steps of the ladder above the clouds was too harsh, or they encountered extremely dangerous things. As a result, those few innately perfect and strong men all perished."
