Chapter 193: Open
Buzz!
Nine keys soared into the sky and gradually formed a strange handprint in the void. The handprint was a hundred feet in size, and the terrifying pressure spread to all directions, and many cultivators retreated repeatedly.
Bang, the handprints snapped like lightning, and the mountain in front of me was shattered like glass.
Then countless gravels began to reorganize, bit by bit, and soon a huge staircase of 9,999 was built in front of many cultivators. At the end of the staircase was a hazy fog.
Everything was silent, and everyone was shocked by the amazing scene in front of them.
Go ahead, I don’t know who spoke first, the vast crowd rushed towards the ladder like a tide.
However, when the first group of people rushed up the stairs, the changes suddenly arose. The stairs that were originally close to each other suddenly became so psychedelic that they could hardly see clearly. Except for the nine people who once held the keys, the rest were blocked under the stairs.
How could this happen? Someone roared in despair.
No one could have imagined such a change. At this time, there were only a few hundred people who stepped on the stairs, and hundreds of cultivators were still outside the stairs.
Xiao Gu frowned slightly, and he moved up step by step and felt a great pressure.
The pressure did not seem to be very high at the beginning, but every step forward, the corresponding pressure would increase a little. Moreover, when Xiao Gu crossed the ninth stairs, the 36th stairs, and the 49th stairs, the pressure would double every time.
Although the pressure at this time is nothing to Xiao Gu, don’t forget that the stairs here are 9,999 levels!
Of course, others were not spared, and everyone felt the extraordinaryness of these ladders.
But at this time, naturally no one is willing to give up. Everyone bursts out with all their might and wants to reach the top of the mountain in front of everyone.
Xiao Gu was still slow. He believed that this competition should not be speed.
At the hundreds of steps ahead of him, the beauty mole woman looked at him indifferently, as if a high god looked down at the lowly ant. The disdain, ridicule and coldness in her eyes were hard to stop even through hundreds of steps.
"Ant," the woman spoke coldly, and crossed hundreds of meters to Xiao Gu's ears.
But Xiao Gu was too lazy to raise his head!
Huh, a roar of wind passed by Xiao Gu, and at the same time, a huge force gushed to knock him down the steps.
Xiao Gu waved his hand to block the attack and looked up at the person coming.
"Bao, remember, your life is mine," the young man who first clashed with Xiao Gu smiled coldly, not taking Xiao Gu seriously at all.
"You try it," Xiao Gu was also angry.
"Hehe, waste, of course I have to keep you. I will knock you down until you are about to approach the top of the mountain. This will make you feel the most fulfilling. Hehehe, live well, you are my own," the arrogant young man laughed and left only a back for Xiao Gu.
Xiao Gu could only shake his head in response to this. He still moved forward slowly, and sometimes even stopped somewhere for a short time, just like traveling.
At this time, the cultivators at the foot of the mountain also found a way to enter the ladder.
That is a challenge, challenge the people on the ladder!
This ladder can only accommodate one hundred and eight people, including ninety-nine ordinary cultivators and nine key owners.
If you want to replace these people, there is only one way, which is to use the challenge space next to the ladder to challenge any cultivator on the ladder. If you can win, then you can replace that person's position.
Almost everyone went crazy after getting this information.
However, there are only 108 places on the stairs, so there are naturally only 108 spaces to challenge. For this reason, many people first decide the winner outside and then enter the space in order.
There were too many monks and too little porridge, and none of them were spared from being challenged.
These people are all prides of heaven from all over the world, so naturally there is no fear. They firmly believe that they are the strongest, so they are completely unscrupulous.
However, the person who challenged Xiao Gu made him speechless, because that person was a little guy at the first level of Nirvana, which was simply vulnerable to Xiao Gu. I really don’t know how he grabbed this position.
Challenge space, to put it bluntly, is just a small space, only a few hundred feet long and wide, empty without a trace of vitality.
Xiao Gu punched the challenger with one punch the moment he stepped into it, and he didn't waste a second because just now, he realized something from the steps and was in a hurry to confirm his guess, but he didn't have time to delay.
After one round, most of the challengers failed. After all, those who can squeeze in the front are undoubtedly the best among the many cultivators.
Of course, some people have been replaced, but very few have been replaced.
At this time, Xiao Gu was verifying his ideas. He did not think that the 9,999 ladder was just a simple test. Since it was said to be a treasure, it would probably not be simple from the beginning.
Taking one step forward, one step back, and then taking three steps in an instant, Xiao Gu experimented with a strange frequency and angle.
He found that if these ladders follow their corresponding levels of pressure, they will help temper qi and blood and take them further. At this speed, if they can complete them in this way, they may be able to enter the middle stage of the fourth level of Nirvana.
Step by step, Xiao Gu was very difficult, at least in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact, Xiao Gu had already sunk into it.
His weirdness did not attract many people's attention, although everyone at the foot of the mountain could see this scene.
What they care about is being able to step on the steps, not what happened to the people on the steps. To put it bluntly, if someone on the steps suddenly dies, then I don’t know how many people at the foot of the mountain will be so happy that they can’t stop talking.
From time to time, strong people came to challenge them and were all sent by Xiao Gu. Although there were many strong people here, few people could pose a threat to Xiao Gu. As more and more powerful people were defeated by him, Xiao Gu's reputation was naturally well-known, especially after a strong man at the third level of Nirvana failed, it caused a clamor.
Wu Qing and a few people from the Wu Realm also came up. With Wu Qing’s cultivation level of the fourth level of Nirvana at half-step, few people who stepped on the ladder could fight him and it was natural to be able to get up.
However, since Xiao Gu and him were on both sides of the mountain, it was extremely difficult to communicate. However, I believe that Wu Qing would understand quickly when he saw his actions. Xiao Gu had no doubts about this because the two were the same type of people.
The more you go up, the more pressure you are. At this time, the fastest person has already walked up the ladder, and Xiao Gu has barely stepped into the 366th level. The sharp increase in pressure did not cause any trouble to Xiao Gu. His face was still as deep as the turbulent lake surface.
Step by step, Xiao Gu could feel that every time he moved forward, his qi and blood would become more turbulent, and then he would become more solid and thicker.
It seems that he underestimated the benefits of this ladder. Xiao Gu sensed his own changes and couldn't help but feel surprised. He thought that just entering the peak like this could enter the middle stage of the fourth level of Nirvana, but now, he can feel that it is not impossible for him to even enter the late stage.
Because as he gradually moved forward, an inexplicable power in the void became stronger and stronger, allowing his qi and blood to grow rapidly.
At this time, there were almost no one who challenged him.
Because, just now, he took action to kill a strong man at the peak of the third level of Nirvana, which made everyone feel awe.
There are still some situations similar to Xiao Gu, all of which are peak powerhouses.
The nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps will take at least three days at Xiao Gu's speed, and the higher the pressure, the more time it will take.
There are not many original crew members of 108 people, and most of them have been replaced.
The strong prey on the weak, the weak are not qualified to benefit!
