"No, no, this is impossible. Zhang Li, you, who are you? There is no way you can set foot on the 600th stone step so easily." Xia Zhengming's eyes suddenly turned red, and he roared almost hysterically. At the same time, , Xia Zhengming clenched his fists vaguely, and the vague murderous intent in his eyes flashed away.
Zhang Li smiled faintly and was secretly on guard. With his extremely powerful soul power, he naturally caught the trace of murderous intent in Xia Zhengming's eyes. However, Zhang Li did not speak or make any pause, and continued to walk towards the stone steps in front. Step quickly.
Just when Zhang Li's feet were about to land on the 601st stone step, Xia Zhengming finally couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly his body moved. He directly clenched his fingers into a fist, and the powerful energy immediately It circled around his fist, forming a sharp fist knife and hit Zhang Li hard on the head.
Zhang Li's eyes suddenly turned cold, and then in the flash of lightning, he retracted the steps he was about to take. At the same time, Tiankun's long stick appeared instantly and blocked Xia Zhengming's sharp fist with a clang.
"Sure enough, it is much higher than Zhou Tianshui and Ling Yunzhi." With just one blow, Zhang Li immediately judged Xia Zhengming's cultivation strength. Although he was only at the sixth level of Qi Cauldron Realm, his power was not inferior at all. A strong man at the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Cauldron Realm.
But this is still not a problem for Zhang Li. The only thing Zhang Li is afraid of at the moment is that Xia Zhengming must also possess an immortal weapon, but he just doesn't know what grade the immortal weapon Xia Zhengming possesses is.
Just when Zhang Li thought of this, he saw Xia Zhengming had already taken out his 'weapon'!
It was indeed an immortal weapon! A long whip with spikes all over its body. The moment he saw this hard whip, Zhang Li seemed to have returned to the Wanglong Mountains back then and saw the weapons used by Lu Duanming and Lu Bapi. 'thorn stick'.
Zhang Li's breath was as cold as ice, and with a thought, Tiankun quickly transformed into five forms, forming the strongest 'Five Elements Weapon Array'. Today's Tiankun is no longer the remnant of the past. Instead, he has absorbed ' The mysterious magic weapon of "immortal energy". The "immortal weapon" that Zhang Li snatched from Ling Yunzhi was also absorbed by Tiankun's refining. Today's Tiankun is definitely unprecedentedly powerful!
‘Bang!’ With a loud noise, the Five Elements Artifact Array flew out directly and hit Xia Zhengming’s ‘Hard Whip’ hard.
"Third-grade immortal weapon!" Zhang Li's eyes turned cold again, and then he immediately sent a message to Tian Kun: "Xiao Kun, if you kill this person, you can still swallow and refine this immortal weapon." When Xiao Kun heard this, he immediately I was extremely excited. From the Five Elements Instrument Formation formed by Tiankun, there was a strange "humming" sound. It was continuous and made those Qi Cauldron Realm cultivators who were watching the battle shocked again.
After the Five Elements Weapon Array collided with Xia Zhengming's immortal weapon, a strange red light suddenly emitted. The red was tinged with purple, and even revealed an extremely surprising 'golden light'. Immediately afterwards, the Five Elements Weapon Array A 'boom' sound stirred up cracks in the space, and hit the hard whip that was still glowing with light again.
An extremely subtle sound of 'click' suddenly came. Xia Zhengming's face turned into the color of pig liver in an instant: "No, no!!"
"Xia Zhengming, your weapons make me very unhappy." Zhang Li suddenly shouted, and then the 'Nine Holes Emperor Pattern' in his body immediately focused on the Five Elements Array with the aura of destroying heaven and earth. Then a brilliant golden glow struck Xia Zhengming's body hard.
Xia Zhengming no longer underestimated Zhang Li, but he still underestimated Zhang Li's strength. Whether it was Zhang Li's cultivation level, the weapons he owned, or even the thing that seemed to emit something like an 'Emperor Mark', it all made him Xia Zhengming had a short-circuit in his head for a moment. He felt as frustrated as he felt. The feeling of being overwhelmed by everything made Xia Zhengming, who had always thought he was standing at the top of a 'genius', suddenly collapse. .
The will collapsed, and the rhythm disappeared in an instant. Then Xia Zhengming's body flew out like a cannonball again, hitting the small square. Zhang Li took Tiankun back, without any mercy in his eyes. At this moment, Xia Zhengming did not The death was not caused by Zhang Liliu's hand. It was Xia Zhengming's magical whip that indeed saved Xia Zhengming's life at the last moment.
"Xiao Kun, take that fairy weapon." Zhang Li suddenly said calmly. As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Kun flew out. Almost instantly, he turned into a soft snake and wrapped around the fairy weapon. Hard whip.
Xia Zhengming's heartbreaking voice immediately shouted again: "No, no, my fairy weapon, my fairy weapon." However, no matter how much he tried to control it, the fairy weapon had been controlled by Tian Kun. He forcibly erased the mark of contact with Xia Zhengming. Today's Tiankun is too domineering. Looking at the situation in front of him, Zhang Li couldn't help but praise Tiankun's strength in his heart.
When Tian Kun flew back to Zhang Li's hands, Zhang Li immediately began to continue climbing the stone steps, and no longer paid attention to Xia Zhengming and others. Xia Zhengming was also quickly led away by those so-called Qi Cauldron realm friends. Left the small square.
Zhang Li knew that there were only more than seventy years until the Eternal Hanging Cave was opened. If he spent more time here, he would be insufficiently prepared by then. Zhang Li did not originally have a strong desire to compete. But. After his mother's death, his mother's final words for him to return to the family were like drums ringing in his heart.
Judging from his mother's situation and words, Zhang Li knew that his return to the "Five Divine Beasts" family would be a lot of hardships and ups and downs. Previously, his cousin Pengfei's attitude made Zhang Li know that his identity should be extremely subtle. . So he must first arm himself and make himself stronger. From this, Zhang Li's desire to obtain the 'Second Immortal' suddenly became stronger than ever.
Although he could also choose to cooperate with Feng Wuman, a very special group of strong men in the Wizarding Immortal Realm, one of the witch spirits, to obtain a sub-immortal. But Zhang Li did not want to owe others too many favors. Moreover, Feng Wuman Having become Yan Ni's master, Zhang Li felt that he must rely on his own ability to obtain this level of immortality.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Li strode forward. Using his rhythm skillfully, it only took him a year to reach the 700th level of stone steps. The 700th level of stone steps gave rise to a strange rebounding force. The rhythm of the exercise was constantly changing, and Zhang Li suddenly felt that the difficulty had increased more than a hundred times.
This time, it took Zhang Li fourteen years to stand here before he could climb the 700th stone step. At this time, there were still sixty years before the opening of the Eternal Hanging Cave. Zhang Li could not Dare to delay, continue to rely on the magic of the Five Elements Divine Wheel in the body, and stride forward firmly.
At this moment, at the end of the stone steps, in a strange stone mansion, three old men were sitting in a triangle shape. The moment Zhang Li stepped over the 700 stone steps, the three old men opened their eyes almost at the same time. My eyes were opened. The light suddenly shot out, strange and extraordinary.
"This boy actually possesses the Five Elements Divine Wheel, which is really interesting." One of the old men suddenly spoke first. He had a face as beautiful as a crown jewel and was awkwardly wearing a tattered straw hat.
"That's right. This kid is definitely a rare gem. As long as he can cross these thousand stone steps by himself within a hundred years, I will make an exception and accept him as my disciple." The old man in the tattered straw hat also said He spoke. He had a slightly chubby face, a strange smile that made people unable to understand when he spoke, and had no hair at all, with a shiny bald head.
He paused for a moment, and suddenly said with some doubts: "But how do I feel that this kid's aura is very much like a mixture of the missing Demon Lord and the Demon Lord? And there is also a strange aura that makes people curious."
"Hahahahaha." As soon as the bald old man finished speaking, the last old man suddenly laughed. This old man had a white beard reaching his waist. He was skinny, black and withered. He was wearing a robe but looked empty. His big head The laughter immediately made the bald old man and the old man in the straw hat both turned to look at him in confusion.
"Xiaoyaozi, why are you laughing? Haven't you thought the punishment was enough? Do you still want to sit here for tens of thousands of years?" The old man in the straw hat rolled his eyes and said depressedly.
The thin old man with white beard and black hair, known as Xiaoyaozi, brushed his beard and continued to laugh: "Of course I am not laughing at this. I am laughing. You want to accept the boy on the stone steps outside as your disciple, but you have no chance. No hope left.”
"Oh? Why?" The straw hat old man and the bald fat old man asked in surprise.
Xiaoyaozi glanced at the two of them proudly and said: "Because this kid was booked by me a long time ago. Even if he becomes a disciple, he can only become a disciple of me, Ancient Immortal Xiaoyao. Hahahaha."
"Ah, could this boy be who you said he was, the stupid boy who saved you?" The two old men suddenly rolled their eyes, feeling incredibly unbelievable at the same time.
"Exactly, hahahaha. The world is so wonderful. After a big circle, this boy will eventually become my disciple of Xiaoyao Ancient Immortal. I thought this silly boy had no luck, so my cultivation and My magical power cannot be extended." Xiaoyaozi laughed loudly.
The bald and fat old man couldn't help but shook his head, feeling that it was a pity. The old man in the straw hat said angrily: "This silly boy, if he had directly worshiped you as his teacher back then, he might have gone back to the 'True Immortal Realm' for us now." .We don’t need to sit here all the time to protect the Nine Wastelands from disasters.”
"Haha, this kid gave up a great opportunity. I thought he was really stupid at the time. But now it seems that may not be the case. As the saying goes, if there is a cause, there must be an effect, and if there is an effect, there must be a cause. His intermediate experiences will definitely It will become a precious treasure in his life." After Xiaoyaozi finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.
The other two old men also looked at each other, and then began to meditate upright again without speaking.
It took Zhang Li another five years to finally reach the 799th stone step. It was too difficult. Zhang Li felt more and more that the changes in the rhythm inside it were becoming more and more weird and complicated. He even thought, even if he could Breaking through to the 800th level of stone steps, but the 900th level and the 1000th level will definitely take him a hundred years or even longer.
Zhang Li originally wanted to give up. But when he thought of Xuanyuan Qing, and when he thought that he had reached this juncture, it would be a pity to give up again. After adjusting his mentality, Zhang Li set off again. This time, he spent a full twenty It took him five years to reach the 800th stone step. At this time, there were only thirty years left before the opening of the Eternal Hanging Cave.
When it took Zhang Li another five years to reach the 899th stone step, he finally became a little anxious. Then he frowned and thought for a long time, and then decisively gave up on studying the 'Stone Step Rhythm'. It is the closure of the six senses that allows you to jump out of your original thinking, start to rethink and look for other more effective methods.
