Chapter 323 White-Eyed Giant Ape
The five-colored stairs descended from the sky, like a divine bridge connecting heaven and earth. Qin Xuan stepped on it, his black hair flying, his eyes closed. Although he did not open his eyes, his mind was in his heart. In his mind, a road to heaven gradually appeared.
After an unknown period of time, Qin Xuan walked a long distance on the five-colored stairs. He heard a loud bang, and his heart trembled. Suddenly, a picture appeared in his mind. There were ancient trees and wild mountains all around, revealing a long and ancient atmosphere, like a scene from ancient times.
"This is..." Qin Xuan's heart was in turmoil, but he did not open his eyes, thinking that this was still an illusion. However, when he continued to walk forward, he found that those ancient trees had been standing in the same place without moving at all. It was extremely real, not like an illusion.
Qin Xuan slowly opened his eyes and carefully looked at everything around him, but was surprised to find that the scene he saw was exactly the same as what appeared in his mind. Surrounded by countless ancient trees, towering into the clouds, it was so spectacular that people could not help but feel a sense of pride.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
Suddenly, a thunderous roar of an animal resounded through the sky, and the earth was faintly trembling. In an instant, countless birds and beasts on the ancient trees were startled like lightning, with panic and fear in their eyes, as if they had seen an extremely terrible scene, and flew away quickly in different directions.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Another violent earthquake sounded, and the sound became louder and louder, as if it was constantly approaching Qin Xuan.
A strange color flashed in Qin Xuan's eyes, and he instantly entered a state of alert. Although he had no physical body at this time, he was always in a state of tension. If there was any slight movement, he would be fully prepared for battle to deal with sudden dangers.
The earthquake sound became louder and louder, as if it had come to Qin Xuan. Suddenly, a huge black shadow flashed in a certain direction. Although it flashed by, it did not escape Qin Xuan's eyes and was captured instantly.
"What is that?" Qin Xuan said in his heart. The speed of the black shadow just now was too fast, so fast that even he could only see the general outline, and did not see it clearly.
While Qin Xuan was thinking, the huge black shadow flashed again, jumped out directly from a space, and landed in front of Qin Xuan. With a palm, the terrifying gale made his face hurt, as if it was cut by a knife, as if the whole person was about to be torn apart by the wind.
"What kind of power is this?" Qin Xuan's eyes flashed with shock, and he stepped back. At that moment, an extremely terrifying power descended on him. It seemed that an invisible giant hand in the void held him, causing his face to change drastically and his body to step back.
"Boom!"
A loud noise came from behind him, and a huge white-eyed giant ape appeared behind him. Its huge eyes looked straight at him, revealing a violent aura, and its breath was extremely strong, as if it wanted to swallow him.
"Who is coming?" The white-eyed giant ape seemed to understand human nature, and a violent look flashed in its eyes, and it shouted at Qin Xuan.
Staring at the giant ape in front of him, Qin Xuan's heart trembled slightly. This giant ape gave him an extremely powerful feeling, unprecedented, much more powerful than the golden giant ape phantom behind Tailong. His eyes were full of unbridled domineering, as if he was the king of monsters, with great majesty.
Qin Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he tried his best to calm his inner excitement, and then said truthfully: "My name is Qin Xuan, and I come from Jiuxuan Continent."
"Are you from Jiuxuan?" A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the white-eyed giant ape, and then it quickly dissipated. He looked at Qin Xuan deeply, and then said: "No matter where you come from, since you are here, if you want to climb the sacred mountain, you must pass me."
Qin Xuan's heart trembled, and suddenly he had an ominous premonition. This giant ape seemed extremely powerful, and it was also a monster in the sacred mountain. It must be more extraordinary than ordinary monsters. The test he set must be extraordinary.
However, Qin Xuan was not an ordinary person. The eighteen monsters in the ancient cave were equally powerful, but he still passed the test in the six stone pillars, so he was not too afraid. He bowed slightly and said, "Please tell me, senior!"
The white-eyed giant ape saw Qin Xuan's expression so indifferent, and his eyes looked at him subtly, but he still maintained his dignity and said slowly: "Walk behind me, it will be considered as passing the test."
Qin Xuan was stunned when he heard this. What does it mean to walk behind me?
The white-eyed giant ape waved his palm casually, and a terrible force was born in the void. Endless spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered here, faintly gathered into a spiritual river, flowing through the space, making a gurgling sound, crisp and pleasant.
A series of lights bloomed in the river, as if the spiritual energy of different attributes merged together, and terrible fluctuations continued to permeate the river. The void was faintly trembling, extremely turbulent, as if it could not withstand such a terrifying force.
Qin Xuan's expression changed instantly when he saw this scene. He was shocked and felt as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. The aura in the river was exactly the same as the light he saw outside. What was going on?
Could it be that this white-eyed giant ape could gather the light from the outside world at will and turn it into a river of spiritual energy?
If this was true, it would be too terrifying. It was as if it was a divine power. How terrifying would his cultivation level be?
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan immediately respected this white-eyed giant ape. This was definitely a terrifying strong man. He even gave him the feeling that he was no weaker than the real dragon in the ancient cave. It seemed that he and the real dragon were strong men of the same level.
Of course, this is just Qin Xuan's guess, and there is no evidence.
The real dragon once revealed that he was one of the sixteen guardian gods. Judging from the title, he should be very powerful. Perhaps he did not show his true strength in the ancient cave. Not only the real dragon, but also seniors such as the golden-winged Roc, all lowered their cultivation to fight him. Once they really broke out, they might exceed his imagination.
"What are you thinking about? Are you afraid?" The white-eyed giant ape stared at Qin Xuan and asked lightly, with a tone of blame, as if he was a little unhappy with his hesitation.
After the voice fell, Qin Xuan's face was shocked, and he was immediately pulled back to reality by the loud voice of the white-eyed giant ape. He hurriedly explained: "Senior misunderstood, but I was a little distracted when I thought of some seniors I met before. I hope you don't blame me."
"So that's it, you can start." The white-eyed giant ape waved his hand, still standing in the void, his huge body gave people a strong visual impact, standing there like a small mountain.
Qin Xuan turned his eyes and looked at the spiritual river behind the white-eyed giant ape. Feeling the majestic breath in it, a solemn look appeared in his eyes. This test is not easy!
After thinking for a moment, a wisp of wind suddenly permeated his body, and his figure suddenly became blurred. The whole person was like the wind, uncertain, and every movement was full of wonderful rhythm, as if it was integrated with the world and harmoniously unified.
He stepped forward, like a breeze, and stepped into the spiritual river. When he entered, a terrible spiritual vortex came over him. When the vortex swept over his body, he felt extremely heavy all over, and his speed became extremely slow, as if a piece of heaven and earth was suppressing him and preventing him from moving forward.
"Crack!" A crisp sound of bone breaking came out, and Qin Xuan's face suddenly showed a look of pain. It was only a short moment, and many bones in his body were crushed. Although this was only his soul form, the feeling was real, and it was the same as the reaction when he had a physical body.
Waves of pain spread rapidly throughout the body like an electric current. Qin Xuan endured the severe pain and stepped forward slowly and hard. His expression seemed extremely painful, but his eyes were filled with strong faith and determination!
He would not give up easily. If there was a 90% chance that he would die here, then he would grab the remaining 10% at all costs!
On the top of the sacred mountain, the towering peaks were surrounded by light clouds and mist, revealing a faint fairy air. It seemed that this place was only a stone's throw away from the sky, but it gave people a feeling of being out of reach, as if the sky was there, but could never be touched.
I saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the top of the sacred mountain, her whole body shrouded in fairy light. She was extremely beautiful, with a soft face, wearing a simple and plain white dress, but gave people a sense of etherealness. She was sitting there, but it made people feel that she was completely non-existent.
"Chaos is coming, and the star field is about to usher in hope. I wonder if it's too late." The woman murmured softly, as if she was talking to herself. Her beautiful eyes flashed with wisdom, and people couldn't tell what she was thinking.
She looked into the distance, and through the endless distance, she saw a river of spiritual energy flowing between heaven and earth. There was a figure in white clothes moving forward with difficulty. Although the speed was extremely slow, it was always moving forward. The woman nodded slightly, with a touch of relief in her eyes.
In this way, time passed little by little, and the spiritual energy river between heaven and earth flowed as always, as if it was endless, and Qin Xuan seemed to know no fatigue and kept moving forward.
After a long period of adaptation, Qin Xuan had become accustomed to the pressure brought by the spiritual energy river, and was no longer at a loss as at the beginning. Although there was still pain, it was much weaker than before. The only thing that remained unchanged was his speed, which was still very slow.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Xuan even lost track of time. He only felt that he had walked for a long time and crossed a long distance, but he still couldn't see the end. He suddenly felt disappointed and his eyes became a little dim.
He had never stopped since he stepped into this spiritual river, but today, he seemed to be standing still, without any hope. Even if Qin Xuan was determined, he could not help but start to doubt himself.
"Is my understanding wrong? There is no end here at all?" Qin Xuan lowered his head, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
