Chapter 1400 The Pressure of the Ladder to Heaven
Tongtian Peak is like a giant towering over the sky, standing in the central area of the Lotus Pond Secret Realm, exuding powerful pressure.
The closer the mountain is to Tongtian Peak, the stronger the pressure becomes.
Tongtian Peak is so high that it reaches straight into the clouds. It is shrouded in clouds and mist. Looking from a distance, you can only see the part of the mountainside exposed under the cloud house.
The mountain body of Tongtian Peak is almost 90 degrees vertical, and there is almost no place to rely on. Unless you are an innate strong person who can form the wings of vitality, you will not be able to climb to the top of the peak.
Even a strong man like Fang Bai could not see the legendary ladder to heaven at all, and even his spiritual consciousness could not detect its existence.
"What a majestic and steep mountain!"
After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Fang Bai looked up and said with emotion.
This is the tallest, largest, strangest and most dangerous mountain that Fang Bai has ever seen since he was reborn.
However, in his previous life, Fang Bai had seen countless peaks that were taller and more dangerous than Tongtian Peak, so when he stood at the foot of the mountain, he just sighed a little. It was completely different from Gu Yan and the other four, who already had expressions all over their faces. It is the color of awe.
The four of them, Gu Yan, had been to Tongtian Peak more than once. Every time they stood at the foot of this mountain, they felt a sense of awe, as if they were facing a peerless strong man who could destroy them with a snap of his fingers.
"Let's go up the ladder!"
As Fang Bai spoke, the energy behind him condensed and rippled, and a pair of wind wings formed in an instant.
He tapped his toes and rose to the sky, like a light swallow, flying towards the top of Tongtian Peak.
For Fang Bai, the "Lotus Pond Secret Realm" can only be opened in a short period of seventy-seven forty-nine days. Even delaying one breath of time is a huge waste.
So he didn't bother to appreciate the Tongtian Peak in front of him. After he almost reached the foot of the mountain, he rushed directly to the top of the peak.
Gu Yan and the four others also had the same idea as Fang Bai.
The Lotus Pond Secret Realm is only opened once every five years, and the number of places is limited. They hope to seize this rare opportunity and make good use of every breath to improve their cultivation.
Forming true energy wings to fly is an extremely expensive matter. Innately powerful people usually won't use it unless necessary.
Although Fang Bai's cultivation has surpassed innate perfection and reached the stage of half-step foundation building, the true energy in his body has not reached the stage of endless and continuous flow. Therefore, when he flies, he also consumes a lot of energy. Less real energy.
Every time he ascended about two or three thousand feet, Fang Bai would stab the mountain with his blood-drinking sword, retract his true essence wings and hang in the air for a while. When his true essence recovered, he would form his true essence wings again and continue to fly upward.
Gu Yan and the other four innate experts were even worse. They could not fly more than a thousand feet, so they had to rest for a while before they could continue upward.
In this way, Fang Bai rode Juechen and landed on the top of Tongtian Peak first.
The first time Fang Bai landed on the top of Tongtian Peak, he saw the legendary ladder to heaven.
The ladder to heaven is built in the center of the peak. It is made of spiritual stones that can only be found in the Three Thousand Worlds, that is, the world of cultivation. Each stone step is up to a hundred feet wide. In this way, the layers are connected and lead directly to the sky. It looks extremely beautiful. It's majestic.
Ordinary warriors may not be able to figure out how the layers of huge and seemingly heavy stone steps are suspended in the air.
Only Fang Bai knows that what holds the ladder up is actually a kind of supreme immortal power. As long as the ladder is not damaged by anything beyond that kind of immortal power, it can exist in Tongtian Peak forever.
A mighty coercion that seemed to come from ancient times was released from the ladder and enveloped the entire top of Tongtian Peak.
Under this pressure, if you are not innately strong, even if you are lucky enough to climb Tongtian Peak, you will not be able to gain a foothold on it.
Fang Bai's consciousness dispersed and extended all the way up the ladder.
He wanted to try to find out whether the top of the ladder was the teleportation array that he imagined leading to the three thousand worlds, or whether there were other secrets hidden there.
Unfortunately, when his consciousness reached dozens of steps up the ladder, he encountered strong resistance. His consciousness was completely blocked, making it difficult to move forward.
"Let's adjust our breath first, and then go up the ladder to heaven after our true energy is fully restored!"
After trying several times to no avail, Fang Bai finally gave up, threw these words to Gu Yan and others, and sat down cross-legged under the ladder to enter the cultivation state.
Having formed wings of vitality and flown to Tongtian Peak before, Fang Bai consumed a lot of vitality, and the heavy pressure from the ladder made him realize that if he could not climb the ladder with full strength, he would probably be unable to do it and give up halfway.
Gu Yan and Liu Che of Shenhuo Sect, Qiu Hanyan and Mo Chunlan of Ruoshui Palace are not the first time to climb the ladder. Compared with Fang Bai, they are more experienced and know that if they regain their strength, it will be possible. Climbing one more step up the ladder, they each sat down to adjust their breaths.
The vitality of the innate strong man is depleted quickly and recovered quickly. After just a hundred breaths, Fang Bai and the other five people stood up one after another and gathered in front of the first step of the ladder.
"This ladder to heaven...how many steps have you climbed before? Oh, Elder Gu seemed to have said before that you probably climbed to the fortieth step, right?"
Fang Bai suddenly turned around and asked Gu Yan and the other four people around him.
"Well, I only climbed to the fortieth level... I'm ashamed!"
Gu Yan sighed.
Liu Che smiled bitterly and said: "I have reached the 38th level, but I am not as good as Elder Gu!"
"I am level thirty-nine."
"Level 41."
Qiu Hanyan and Mo Chunlan from Ruoshui Palace said respectively.
The height of the four people on the ladder means the gap in their strength.
Those who ascend to a higher level of the ladder indicate superior skills.
vice versa.
"This time, you will have a big breakthrough!"
Fang Bai took a step forward and stepped onto the first step of the ladder, and continued: "You will at least reach the fiftieth step... Well, whether you can reach a higher level depends on your own opportunities!"
The four people from Gu Yan came to climb the ladder this time. Their expected goal was to climb four or five steps higher than last time. As for the tenth step, they had not thought about it, but they were self-aware and knew that it was impossible.
But when Fang Bai said this, they were convinced, and their faces showed uncontrollable ecstasy.
Fang Bai's previous promotion of all the disciples of Ruoshui Palace in one day and two nights was regarded as a miracle by Gu Yan and others, so Fang Bai almost worshiped him.
"Senior Fang, you lead the way from the front, and the four of us will follow!"
"If we encounter resistance along the way, the five of us will fight together!"
"With the auspicious words of senior Fang, I hope I can reach the fiftieth step of the ladder this time!"
"Everything is thanks to the help of Senior Fang!"
Gu Yan and the four others were greatly refreshed. They each took out their spiritual weapons in their hands and followed Fang Bai, almost moving towards the top of the ladder step by step.
"Sure enough, as the legend says, the vitality of this ladder is much richer at each level than the first! According to this calculation, the vitality at the top of the ladder is probably close to the spiritual energy in the three thousand worlds, right?"
Fang Bai climbed up a dozen steps of the ladder in one breath, feeling the increasingly rich vitality of heaven and earth around him, and felt very good.
