It’s winter in December.
The climate in Cangzhou Chu State is pleasant, with warm sunshine during the day and no big temperature changes at night, but it is not as icy and snowy as Qingyang.
The floating city is like spring all year round.
The bright moon is like a jade plate, and the moonlight is as green as water.
On Lian Shen Mountain.
As he climbed up one level after another, Zhong Yan stared at the space of the sea of consciousness and could clearly feel the changes in the intensity of the spiritual consciousness in his body.
Under the operation of "Qiankun Divine Refining Technique", the spiritual consciousness becomes more and more condensed, and the wisps of spiritual consciousness turn into sharp swords and light blades, cutting with knives and axes, constantly expanding the edge of the "Sea of Divine Consciousness".
At the same time, he also realized the effect of 'tempering the body' mentioned by Jiang Linglong.
There was nothing unusual at first, but when he passed the thirty-third step, his steps began to get heavier.
Now, at the 480th step, my legs are as heavy as lead.
The most intuitive change is that the body refining experience value on his system panel continues to rise, from 8.23 million to 9.66 million.
In addition, the higher the level, the slower the vitality in the body circulates and is suppressed by an invisible force.
"It is worthy of the name of the sacred mountain!"
Zhong Yan admired in his heart and looked at Jiang Linglong.
Seeing that he was not surprised at all that he was so many steps higher than Jiang Haochen for his first time climbing, he couldn't help but ask: "What is the highest level you can reach for your first time climbing Mount Lian Shen?"
Jiang Linglong thought for a while and said: "According to the records in the family annals, it happened more than 200,000 years ago. He was a three-spirit-root-building monk. He climbed the mountain for the first time and reached the 1,363rd level. I thought he was unparalleled." He was a genius, but he only reached the Nascent Soul realm and then passed away.
Nowadays, the monk of the Jiang clan, the highest level is 968, is called Jiang Shiyan. You should have seen her. She is climbing the mountain for the first time on the third level of the foundation.
But since then, even if the realm has improved and the spiritual consciousness has increased, up to the eighth level of the golden elixir, it has not been able to advance one level further. "
After a pause, Jiang Linglong pondered and said: "I don't know yet why everyone is so different when it's the first time to climb a mountain. It seems to have nothing to do with qualifications.
Relatively speaking, the second time and the further away from the first time, it means that the person has better qualifications and stronger strength, but it is not absolute. "
"..." Zhong Yan was suspicious and didn't know the reason.
After a stick of incense.
Zhong Yan stepped onto the seven hundred and twenty steps and turned to look down.
Jiang Linglong, who was five steps behind, was holding her knees with her hands, panting, her flawless face was covered with fine sweat, and her hair was soaked, and she had a charming and alluring aura.
"You wait for me here."
He heard from the other party that the last time he climbed the mountain half a year ago, he could no longer go up to the 715th step.
"Brother Tian, don't worry about me, you continue."
Jiang Linglong raised her hand to wipe her forehead, smiling brightly and touchingly.
Zhong Yan nodded and stepped forward.
Jiang Linglong pursed her lips, turned over her hand and took out the jade bottle, pulled a drop of spiritual liquid into her mouth, kept bending over to refine and rest for a while, and then came forward to welcome the man.
Her thoughts at the moment were very strange. She felt that if she walked with him for a while, they would be more compatible with each other.
However, after just one step, she could no longer move forward and had to stop again to gasp for breath. She couldn't even sit down because there was huge pressure on her shoulders, upper and back.
After a long time, I heard footsteps coming from behind.
Jiang Linglong turned around and looked, her beautiful eyes widened: "Why did you come up here?"
The corners of Jiang Zhiyu's mouth curled up in a playful arc, and he smiled and said sarcastically: "You are so weak!"
Then he walked past it easily.
"..." Jiang Linglong looked like she had seen a ghost, clearly remembering that the other party had only reached more than six hundred levels.
After regaining her composure, she gritted her teeth and tried to lift her leg forward again.
Ahead, Jiang Zhiyu quickly reached the 800th step and saw Zhong Yan's back in the mist. Just as he was about to shout, the unmistakable voice of his ancestor 'Jiang Cheng'an' came to his ears: "That's enough. Come back when there's no one around. "
"oh."
Jiang Zhiyu pouted her cherry lips, and sat down helplessly on the stone steps, resting her elbows on her knees, holding half of her pink cheeks and sighing: "Hey, geniuses are like me, but they can't show off their power."
Zhong Yan noticed the movement behind him, turned his head and looked behind him, and saw the girl making a face, extremely playful.
His expression changed. Not long after they separated, the other party's aura strengthened a lot, reaching the level of the fifth level of the golden elixir. It should have been a breakthrough.
Looking at her expression, she seemed to have reached the 800th level easily. The secret passage was indeed extraordinary, and she couldn't help but send a message: "What's the farthest level you can reach?"
"I'll just say it if you ask me to!"
Jiang Zhiyu retorted with a smile, wiped the storage bracelet on his hand, and took out a bunch of spiritual fruits to eat.
Zhong Yan said: "Give me the spiritual liquid and the pills for cultivating your spiritual consciousness."
Jiang Zhiyu glanced over: "Jiang Linglong didn't tell you? You can't rely on external objects when climbing for the first time, otherwise the pressure will increase dramatically, and the power of spiritual consciousness can explode your head!"
Zhong Yan naturally heard about it, but said: "I will log in again later, you won't keep your word, right? After getting in touch with her this day, I found that Jiang Linglong is not as bad as you said, but has a good personality. , and so beautiful, it makes people..."
"okay!"
Jiang Zhiyu rolled his eyes and interrupted, throwing out a jade bottle: "I only have this much on me for the time being. Stop pretending in front of me. Don't think that I don't know and just don't want to expose you, you greedy guy!"
Zhong Yan smiled, put a cushion on the jade bottle and turned up. The soft rice was so delicious.
Half an hour later.
When he stepped onto the eight hundred and eighty-eighth step, his body trembled and his shoulders slumped, as if there was a huge mountain pressing down on his back.
At the same time, the mysterious energy under the feet spurted out, poured into the body, gathered in the sea of consciousness and wreaked havoc in the space, making people dizzy, and the brain was swollen and painful.
However, Zhong Yan was filled with joy. He glanced at the system panel and saw that the 'perception range' was rapidly jumping up meter by meter, and the body training experience value also increased sharply.
"Eight hundred and eighty-eight..."
Zhong Yan whispered, thinking to himself.
Along the way, he discovered some rather special locations.
The thirty-third level, the forty-ninth level, the seventy-second level, the eighty-first level, the one hundred and eightyth level, the three hundred and sixty-fifth level...
With these digital steps, the pressure exerted on the body by Lian Shen Mountain will be doubled, and the energy provided by the stone steps will be raised to a whole new level.
"Could it be related to the acupoints and the original Tao map?"
He had no idea at first, but at this moment, the number '888' suddenly reminded him of the number of acupoints opened by his son Zhong Qitao when he was born. The number of acupoints opened was '888', and the connection formed the path map of the alien beast.
After thinking to no avail, Zhong Yan stood there and waited until the concentration of his spiritual consciousness stopped changing and was not enough to continue to open up the scope of the 'Sea of Divine Consciousness' before he continued to move forward despite the pressure.
One step at a time, every time he took a step, there was a "bang" sound, and the ripples visible under his feet turned into ripples and spread to both sides.
Not long after, he was sweating profusely, his body was shaking due to the huge force, and his brain was dizzy, as if there were countless fine needles rushing inside.
Zhong Yan tried his best to endure the pain, first level, second level, third level...
The nearly 900 steps ahead took just over an hour.
When we reached the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step, the sun was already in the sky.
And this moment.
An unparalleled force hit his back. He couldn't even lift his head, and big beads of sweat rolled down his face.
"Huchi~huchi~"
Zhong Yan's breath was heavy, his eyes were hazy, and the steps under his feet were shaking in front of his eyes. The power of chaotic consciousness was extremely violent in the sea of consciousness space, making him confused and confused.
But he was excited inside.
At this moment, the range of his consciousness reached more than 25,000 meters, an increase of nearly 10,000 meters!
However, because he did not absorb his spiritual consciousness from the outside world, he could only extend his spiritual consciousness to a distance of more than nine thousand meters, which was reduced because he continued to consume his spiritual consciousness to open up the sea of spiritual consciousness.
And the body refining experience has also increased by more than 20 million experience points!
Zhong Yan's face was distorted and turned the color of pig liver, and he growled in his heart: "Continue!"
He has an intuition. If his prediction is correct, if he steps up to the 'One Thousand and One Steps' that opened the limit of the aperture, the energy in the stone steps will increase exponentially again.
The 'Sea of Divine Consciousness' will surely open up to an unimaginable width!
Refining the body may also have the opportunity to directly enter the sixth heaven!
It’s exciting just thinking about it!
"It's just two levels..."
However, these two levels are extremely difficult.
Each step was three feet three wide, and the distance, which was not counted as a distance, gave him the feeling of being thousands of miles away.
As if standing still, he moved forward bit by bit. I don't know how long it took before he moved to the steps.
Zhong Yan's legs trembled, and he felt like the world was spinning. He bent his body at ninety degrees, endured the heartbreaking pain with unyielding will, roared loudly, and stepped up the thousand steps in a strange posture.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the entire Lian Shen Mountain shook, and the mist rolled.
…
