After leaving Suzaku City, Xiao Muyang and others followed the map given by Xuan Yun and finally arrived at their destination three days later.
Xiao Muyang and others looked forward, and a mountain peak hundreds of feet high came into view. It was towering, steep, and majestic. A dazzling golden light shone on the top of the mountain. Even from an extremely long distance, it was still very obvious.
.
"Is that golden light a meteorite?" Bai Yunshu murmured to himself, staring at the top of the mountain.
"It should be." Xiao Muyang said softly. At this moment, a trace of curiosity arose in his heart. The meteorite fell from the sky, and he didn't know what chance it contained.
"Look there, there are a lot of people climbing mountains." Luo Yunqing suddenly said, Xiao Muyang and others all looked at each other for a moment, and then they all looked at a certain direction. Sure enough, they saw many figures walking along an ancient road. Obviously
Want to go up the mountain.
Xiao Muyang's eyes showed a hint of thinking, why not just go up in the air? It would be a waste of time to go like this.
"Let's go and have a look." Ning Zheng said, and started to walk over there.
Xiao Muyang thought of something and immediately said: "Wait a minute."
Ning Zheng stopped immediately when he heard this voice, turned back to look at Xiao Muyang, looked a little confused, and asked: "What's wrong?"
"It would be too ostentatious to move together, so let's go in groups." Xiao Muyang replied.
"Good idea." Bai Yunshu's eyes revealed a glimmer of light. Xiao Muyang's consideration was very thoughtful. If they go together, they will definitely attract the attention of many people. Although it is unlikely that they will recognize that they are from the Daqi Dynasty, it is not a good thing after all.
If you go in batches, the target will be much smaller and will not attract anyone's attention.
"Okay, I have no objection." Luo Yunqing agreed.
"Then I will take the people from Cangxuan Pavilion there first, and you will come back later." Ning Zheng said, Xiao Muyang and others nodded: "Okay."
So Ning Zheng led the people from Cangxuan Pavilion to leave, while Xiao Muyang and others stayed where they were.
After a while, the people from Qianyuan Palace left, followed by the people from Ten Thousand Demons Island. In the end, only Xiao Muyang and a group of strong men from Beihu County stayed in place.
"Let's go too." Xiao Muyang stepped towards that direction, and the others followed closely behind him.
When they were about to reach the mountain peak, Xiao Muyang and others all felt an invisible pressure falling on them. Although it did not have much impact on them, it meant that this space was different from other places.
"No wonder those people don't have Yukong. The pressure above must be very strong and Yukong can't get up." Xiao Muyang said in a low voice. He had a vague intuition that the pressure in this space came from the meteorite that fell from the sky.
"After all, it is an opportunity and cannot be obtained easily." Chu Qingli also said.
"Not bad." Xiao Muyang nodded, and then a thought came to his mind, has anyone been there?
This mountain peak is hundreds of feet high, so climbing to the top must be quite difficult.
He didn't think too much and continued walking forward.
Soon Xiao Muyang and his party came to the ancient road. There were many figures around them. Most of them had the cultivation level of lower heaven. The middle heaven and upper heaven were relatively less. As for the half-step supreme, they were very rare.
Xiao Muyang glanced at the crowd around him, and he knew in his heart that there were not many forces coming here, not many top forces, and the lineup was far less powerful than that of the Misty Forest.
But this is not difficult to understand. After all, Xuan Yun said that opportunities have appeared in many places during this period, and this is just one of them. Naturally, there will not be too many forces coming, and many forces have gone to other places of opportunity.
Like other forces, Xiao Muyang and others walked forward along the ancient road.
What surprised Xiao Muyang was that the various forces seemed to have agreed in advance. Not only did they not conflict, they did not even make much noise. The atmosphere was very harmonious, as if they were not just climbing the mountain for chance.
This situation seems a bit unusual.
In fact, people from all forces know that only those who have set foot on the top of the mountain are qualified to compete for opportunities. The conflict that breaks out now is just consumption in advance and will not have much effect. If you are unlucky, other forces may join forces.
against.
Therefore, all the forces have the same idea, to climb the mountain with all their strength first, and then compete after reaching the top of the mountain.
And Xiao Muyang and others have no idea of competing. After all, they are now separated from other forces in the alliance and are weak. For them, peaceful mountaineering is the best situation.
At first, everyone felt no obvious pressure, just like walking normally. But as time went by, the pressure in the space gradually became stronger, and many people slowed down, obviously feeling a little strenuous.
The pressure that everyone endures is different. The more powerful a person is, the stronger the pressure he will endure.
Gradually, some people could not bear the pressure and returned the same way.
When we reached the halfway point of the mountain, the pressure in the space was already very strong. Many people's faces turned red, their breathing became rapid, and their aura surged wildly. They tried their best to resist the pressure and were unable to continue walking forward.
"Uncle Cheng, Mr. Yao." Xiao Muyang looked at Cheng Zhan and Yao Ke, and saw that their faces were very ugly, which showed that they were under great pressure at this moment.
"We can only accompany you here. You can only walk the rest of the way by yourself." Yao Ke looked at Xiao Muyang and smiled bitterly. He wanted to accompany Xiao Muyang to continue walking, but his talent was limited and he really had the will.
Powerless.
"Be careful, life is the most important thing." Cheng Zhan warned. He was not worried that Xiao Muyang wouldn't be able to go up, but it would be more dangerous after going up. He didn't know how many people could go up.
"I will protect myself, you go down the mountain." Xiao Muyang said to the two of them.
Yao Ke glanced at Chu Qingli next to Xiao Muyang. With Chu Qingli's talent, it would not be a problem to reach the top of the mountain. He could help Xiao Muyang. There are also people from the other three forces who can go up. Xiao Muyang's situation should not be too bad by then.
"Let's go down the mountain." Yao Ke looked at Cheng Zhan and said, Cheng Zhan nodded, and then the two of them turned and walked down the mountain.
After a while, there was only one figure left beside Xiao Muyang, and that was Chu Qingli.
Of course, the situation of other forces is not much better, most of them are two or three people, and some forces even have only one person fighting alone.
Xiao Muyang glanced around, and there were more than twenty people in his sight, but there must be some people ahead, and he didn't know how many people could set foot on the top of the mountain.
"Ninth Senior Sister, do you want to stop and rest for a while?" Xiao Muyang looked at Chu Qingli and asked.
"It's okay, just keep going." Chu Qingli replied with a smile.
"If Senior Sister feels tired, stop and rest immediately. Don't show off." Xiao Muyang said with a serious expression. He didn't want Ninth Senior Sister to have any accidents because of him.
"Okay." Chu Qingli nodded.
The two continued to move forward, passing many people on the road, and unknowingly they were approaching the top of the mountain. The pressure on their bodies became extremely terrifying, far beyond their own realm.
On Xiao Muyang's body, wisps of sacred golden brilliance flowed, resisting most of the pressure on him. In addition, his body was very strong, so the pressure did not have a great impact on him.
If it weren't for accompanying Chu Qingli, his speed would be very fast.
At this moment, Chu Qingli's whole body was filled with powerful sword intent. Although her physical defense was not as good as Xiao Muyang's, she was able to withstand that pressure with her strong sword will.
After a while, a beautiful figure in a green dress appeared in Xiao Muyang's sight, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.
That beautiful figure is clearly Luo Yunqing.
There were three figures beside Luo Yunqing at this moment, two of them were Wang Xiao and Ran Qiu, and the other one he didn't recognize was in the early stage of Zhongtian Xiang.
"Yun Qing." Xiao Muyang shouted.
Luo Yunqing was startled when he heard this voice, and then he realized who the owner of the voice was. A bright smile immediately bloomed on his pretty face. Are you catching up?
Luo Yunqing and others turned around and saw Xiao Muyang and Chu Qingli walking over. Xiao Muyang asked, "Have you seen Yun Shu and the others?"
"They should be in front." Luo Yunqing replied.
"Go on." Xiao Muyang said, and then five figures walked forward together.
After walking some distance, they met Bai Yunshu, Ning Zheng and others. In addition to them, there were more than ten figures. In front of them was a stone staircase with nine levels in total.
At the end of the stone steps is the top of the mountain.
"Yunshu, Brother Ning." Xiao Muyang looked at the two of them and shouted.
Bai Yunshu and Ning Zheng's expressions condensed at the same time, and then they looked in the direction of Xiao Muyang, Luo Yunqing and others. Bai Yunshu smiled and said: "You are here."
Some figures also looked at Xiao Muyang and others, but they just glanced at them casually, and then looked at the stone steps in front, without paying attention to Xiao Muyang and others.
Xiao Muyang walked up to Bai Yunshu and asked, "Brother Bai, what's going on here?"
"If you want to climb to the top of the mountain, you must cross these nine stone steps, but the pressure on the stone steps is extremely strong. Several people tried just now, but they all failed." Bai Yunshu said with a solemn face: "Only two people stepped on it.
Once you reach the eighth floor, everyone else will be on the seventh or sixth floor."
He watched those people take action with his own eyes. It was not that they were too weak, but that the pressure on the stone steps was too strong. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to climb up.
A solemn look suddenly appeared in Xiao Muyang's eyes. Those who were able to come here were all talented people, but none of them succeeded. How powerful must the pressure on the stone steps be?
"Brother Xiao should have hope of going up there." Ning Zheng whispered. Among them, the person with the strongest physical body is none other than Xiao Muyang. Even the physical bodies of the people on Ten Thousand Monster Island are a bit inferior.
Although Ning Zheng's voice was not loud, the people present were all celestial figures. Naturally, they heard Ning Zheng's words clearly. They all looked at Xiao Muyang with a deep meaning on their faces. This person has a very strong talent.
?
"I don't know your surname?" One of the young men in white asked directly, asking about Xiao Muyang's origins.
"Sorry, no comment." Xiao Muyang responded with a very calm tone.
The face of the young man in white immediately froze there, as if he didn't react. The other geniuses around him frowned and looked a little unhappy. This person is too arrogant, and he refuses to reveal his name?
"A disciple of the Xuanwu Shen Sect?" Another person asked tentatively.
Xiao Muyang did not respond. He looked at the nine stone steps ahead and said, "Does it matter where I come from? What you should be most concerned about at this moment is not how to cross the stone steps?"
Everyone's eyes flashed, and no one refuted Xiao Muyang's words. After all, what he said was correct. The most important thing now is to cross the nine stone steps. Otherwise, this trip will be in vain and there will be no gain.
"Looking at your face, you seem to be very confident." The young man in white just spoke again, staring at Xiao Muyang's eyes, as if he wanted to discover something from them.
Xiao Muyang glanced at the young man in white and replied calmly: "I just came here, how do you know how sure you are?"
"In that case, why not give it a try." The young man in white said again, and a light flashed in the eyes of the others. They seemed to also hope that Xiao Muyang would take action.
"Has anyone been up there before?" Xiao Muyang asked.
"Of course there is."
There was a voice coming from the other direction, and the speaker was a young man in blue clothes. He continued: "It is currently known that four people have gone up, namely Duan Hong from the Xuanwu Sect, Chi Meng from the Great Wilderness Sect,
Zhuge Lin from Tianyan Villa, and Yue Ling'er from Xianmeng Palace."
"This is just what I know. I don't know if anyone else went up besides them." He added.
Xiao Muyang's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he had never heard of any of the names mentioned by that person, the fact that they were able to set foot on the top of the mountain meant that their talents were more outstanding than most of the people present, and they must be the top monsters under the Xuanwu Divine Sect.
.
Everyone stared at Xiao Muyang and found that his expression had no fluctuations from beginning to end. They couldn't help but stir up a ripple in their hearts. What is the origin of this person? Even Duan Hong and others couldn't move his face.
Thinking of this, they became more and more curious about Xiao Muyang's strength.
Xiao Muyang stepped forward and was about to walk towards the stone steps, but at this moment, a voice came from the side: "I'll try it first."
In an instant, their eyes moved away from Xiao Muyang and landed on a woman in green clothes next to her, who was naturally Chu Qingli.
Xiao Muyang looked at Chu Qingli, wondering why he didn't understand that Ninth Senior Sister was worried that he would be in danger, so she wanted to take action in advance.
"I'll go first, senior sister, don't worry." Xiao Muyang said with a smile. Now his strength has surpassed that of the ninth senior sister. If he can't get up, it will be difficult for the ninth senior sister.
"Senior sister." Many people looked strangely. It turned out that the woman in green was his senior sister. It seemed that he had a disciple behind him.
"Okay, be careful." Chu Qingli said softly.
"Yes." Xiao Muyang replied with a smile, and then he stepped forward and came to the stone steps after a moment.
Before he stepped onto the stone steps, he felt a wave of power surging in the space in front of him, like an invisible barrier, blocking his progress.
The space was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Muyang, looking forward to his next performance.
