"If you climb the first level, will you lose one day of your life..."
Ning Fan was startled at first, and then he looked thoughtful. He glanced around and found an ancient silver stone tablet at the foot of the mountain. It had five characters written on it, which was a divine seal script.
'Every step of the way makes you older! '
Sure enough, as he guessed, every time you climb a step on the ladder here, you will lose one day of life.
"Is it a test of Taoist heart..."
Ning Fan's eyes darkened and he stepped up to the second step.
After climbing the second step, he lost another day of his life.
He stood still, thoughtful, but was not intimidated by the life-threatening ladder.
For Ning Fan, who still has 20,000 years to live, a few days is not worth mentioning.
Climbing up step by step, every time you climb a step, you will lose one day of life.
Standing at level 365, Ning Fan lost a total of one year of life.
After reaching the 730th level, Ning Fan lost a total of two years of life.
Ning Fan climbed up the stairs step by step, his gaze getting deeper and deeper.
When you reach level 3650, your life span has been reduced by ten years.
On the hillside next to this ladder, there is a second ancient stone tablet with five words written on it.
'One step older and one year older! '
Ning Fan frowned, could it be that starting from this level, each time you climb a level, your life span will not be reduced by one day, but by one year...
Losing one year of life in one step would make even Ning Fan think twice.
After pondering, Ning Fan took one step forward and climbed to the 3651st step.
In an instant, his life span is reduced by one year!
As if he didn't realize it, he climbed two hundred steps in a row. When he stood at step 3850, his life span had been shortened by another two hundred years.
On the hillside next to it, there is a third stone tablet with five words written on it.
'Ten years older in one step! '
Ning Fan wondered in his heart, would it be possible to lose ten years of life with every step starting from this level?
Look up the mountain road and pass another 200 steps. You will encounter the fourth stone tablet. With Ning Fan's eyesight, you can vaguely see the inscription on it, which is still five characters.
'A hundred years old in one step! '
Two hundred steps up, there are fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth stone tablets... I can't tell the exact details.
Ning Fan closed his eyes and began to hesitate in his heart.
Climbing the ladder at this level will actually reduce your lifespan, and the higher you go, the more your lifespan will be lost. It is obviously unwise to climb any higher.
Even though Ning Fan is pregnant with twenty thousand years of life, if he loses a hundred or a thousand years of life in one step. No need to walk a few steps. He will die of old age at the gate of the earth...
Want to give up? This is a loss of life. Why not give up on falling to the ground...
Just why climbing Tao Mountain will lead to loss of life... What is the deep meaning of Yu Zu's setting up this test...
Ning Fan closed his eyes and put away all distracting thoughts. Without thinking, I only hear the sound of the mountain breeze blowing on my face.
His mind became more and more peaceful, and gradually he no longer even heard the sound of wind.
Gradually, he realized that the Tao Mountain under his feet contained a mysterious and bewitching power.
This power is extremely mysterious, and it has the power to control life and death...
"life and death..."
Ning Fan looked up at the vast staircase, his eyes gradually deepening, as if he could see through everything.
In the first half of this ladder, every jade step is entangled with the aura of death. It can take away life.
But starting from the fifth stone tablet, the jade steps are filled with vitality, which can replenish life.
Yuzu set up the earth barrier, so naturally he would not take away the life span of his descendants.
The first four stone tablets take away the number of people's lives step by step. The last four stone tablets. Return your life span step by step.
From life to death, from death to life... In this process, monks can understand life and death.
This is an opportunity, an opportunity to understand life and death, and to realize immortality!
If a person is not strong in the Dao, he will most likely give up on climbing the ladder if he sees that his lifespan will be shortened.
Only those with a firm Taoist heart will persevere in climbing, and when they reach the fifth monument, their life span will return and they will have an opportunity to understand life and death.
"The first four monuments will gradually age with each step, and approach death with each step... Among them, there is the road to death."
Ning Fan made a secret with his fingers and used the magical power of the ancient fishing line.
A trace of black fishing line was entangled between his fingers, and Ning Fan's eyes also strangely turned pure black, and his whole body was filled with deathly aura.
One step, two steps, three steps... Ning Fan climbed higher step by step. Every time he climbed a ladder, he would lose ten years of his life.
As if he didn't realize it, he kept walking. After two hundred steps, he reached the fourth stone tablet and had lost 2,000 years of his life.
From this point on, every step you take will cost you a hundred years of life.
Ning Fan climbed up step by step without any hesitation, heading towards the fifth monument higher up.
One step for a hundred years, ten steps for a thousand years, a hundred steps for ten thousand years...
From the fourth monument to the fifth monument, one needs to climb 200 steps and lose 20,000 years of life.
Generally, if you walk here continuously, you will probably retreat in fear. But in Ning Fan's heart, he was neither confused nor afraid!
One step, two steps, three steps... Ning Fan's lifespan is exhausted step by step, and his face begins to grow older.
When a monk's life span is about to expire, he will gradually appear old.
His vitality was rapidly passing away, and his aura of death was getting stronger and stronger.
From a young man, he gradually became middle-aged, and then turned into an old man.
His black hair turned gray, mottled wrinkles appeared on his face, and his back began to stoop, but his eyes were always pure black, calm and a bit scary.
His flesh and blood began to wither, his sea of consciousness began to dry up, and his body seemed to be about to turn into ashes and dissipate...
Only the Taoist heart is as solid as a rock and cannot be shaken by anything!
After 200 steps, Ning Fan reached the fifth monument. At this moment, he was almost dying.
But his gaze was unprecedentedly profound. At this moment when he was about to die, his feeling about death was unprecedentedly profound!
"This is death!"
Ning Fan looked inside his dantian, and within his dantian, a pure black aura of death slowly emerged!
The breath of death! This is the power that countless immortals have spent their entire lives cultivating and comprehending! Just because if you want to become an immortal, you must first understand life and death!
It's not that becoming an immortal means you will live forever, but only the immortal can be called an immortal!
Ning Fan only had a ray of death aura, but it was like a seed that planted the enlightenment of death in Ning Fan's heart.
As the enlightenment of death increases, this seed will eventually take root and sprout, becoming a help to break through to the immortal position!
"It's not a loss to lose 20,000 years of life and exchange it for a near-death experience. It's just that this lost life will eventually be recovered from Daoshan!"
Ning Fan has an old appearance and a hoarse voice, but his eyes are firm and persistent. He glances at the fifth stone tablet, which has five characters engraved in divine seal script.
'One step leads to one day'!
Starting from the fifth stone tablet, with every step and every step climbed, Daoshan will return the monk's lost lifespan!
Ning Fan dispersed the death energy around his body, turned to the secret technique, and used his magical power to create fishing nets.
This technique contains the power of life. At the moment when this technique is performed. Ning Fan's eyes turned pure white. The whole body is filled with strong vitality.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Ning Fan climbed all the way and passed the sixth, seventh, and eighth stone monuments.
One step at a time. One step for one year, one step for ten years, one step for a hundred years... His lifespan is returning to his body bit by bit.
His appearance gradually became younger, from an old man to a middle-aged man, and from a middle-aged man to a young man.
His white hair gradually turned black, his complexion gradually became moist, and his eyes became as deep as the sea.
In his Dantian, a trace of pure white vitality is emerging!
At the moment when the white energy is born, the black and white energy are intertwined in the Dantian. Intertwined into a half black and half white circle, wrapped around the soul.
The soul in the dantian opened his eyes, stretched out his two small hands, grabbed the black and white Qi, and swallowed it in one gulp.
immediately. The small Yuanshen showed a satisfied smile.
"good!"
At this moment, Ning Fan's whole body was full of momentum, and the black and white energy in his eyes flashed away!
Standing at the 8500th level, the corners of Ning Fan's mouth slightly raised.
After embedding the two qi of life and death in his body, his magical power did not increase, and his magic power did not improve, but his Taoist heart became unprecedentedly clear, and his Taoist enlightenment became deeper and deeper.
"Yu Ancestor has a good idea. He left a ladder for future generations of Yujie monks to understand life and death, but I don't know what else is there higher up..."
Ning Fan glanced sideways, and saw a ninth stone tablet standing on the hillside with five words on it.
'Kill one person in ten steps'!
He was thoughtful and slowly climbed up to the tenth step. Immediately, a golden light flashed in front of him, and the shadow of a man in golden armor appeared.
This golden-armored man has the ability to see through the void, which is the result of a trace of imperial energy left by Yu Zu.
Moreover, this big man was born from Yunshan and formed by the imperial energy. Unless he is attacked by the imperial energy, he will not dissipate easily.
The big man's expression was empty. The moment he appeared, he immediately scolded Ning Fan coldly, "Get off the mountain!"
Ning Fan narrowed his eyes. He possessed imperial aura and naturally had the means to kill this golden-armored shadow.
But if you do this, your royal aura will inevitably be exposed...
Perhaps at this moment, Lord Ming was watching the illusion carefully, hoping to see Ning Fan using his imperial energy to kill the shadow.
Ning Fan shook his head. If he wanted to kill the golden-armored shadow, he might have to rely on imperial energy.
But this level tests Taoist heart, not magical power. You don’t necessarily have to kill the golden armor to pass the level.
Ning Fan stopped looking at the golden armor and stepped forward, climbing the jade steps and passing by the golden armor.
Jin Jia was furious, turned around and punched Ning Fan on the vest.
Ning Fan directly summoned the Yuan Lei Armor, completely ignoring the fist light of the golden armor shadow.
That fist light was no more powerful than Qiuxu's blow, and could not break through the power of Yuan Lei's armor.
Ning Fan climbed up calmly. Every time he climbed ten steps, a golden-armored shadow would appear that glimpsed his cultivation, but none of it could hurt Ning Fan.
Gradually, Ning Fan ignored those phantoms, and they all disappeared without knowing when...
Instead, from time to time on the stairs along the road, phantoms of natural treasures, charming women, and all kinds of temptations will appear...
Ning Fan walked all the way up the Taoist ladder, his Taoist heart as hard as a rock, not even looking at the shadows.
And this mountain seems to have no peak at all. No matter how long Ning Fan walks, he can't reach the end.
This is the Tao Mountain. The Tao has no end and the mountain has no top. The road to Taoism has no end.
When it comes to road construction, it's hard to say who is the strongest.
In the mortal world, Pimai is an invincible immortal master.
In the lower cultivation country, Jin Dan is the ancestor of the country.
In the Rain Realm, Sui Xu is the emperor of the first realm.
In the four days, the Immortal Emperor may be the master.
But the Immortal Emperor is still not the strongest...
There is no peak in road building, but if you look back, which realm is not the peak?
Today is the peak of yesterday. Today's peak is when he was...
Ning Fan no longer raised his eyes to look at the top of the mountain. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the road under his feet.
Gradually, there was no more mountains in front of him and no more stairs under his feet.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly stopped, raised his hand to pat his chest, and smiled softly, "The Tao is in the heart, the Tao is in the heart... There is no end to the Tao mountain, and the end is not at the top of the mountain. It is in the heart!"
"I let this be the top of the mountain. This is the top of the mountain!"
laugh!
Ning Fan raised his eyebrows. Starlight flashed, and the Zhanli Sword was already in his hand. He raised his hand and slashed at Dao Mountain with the sword.
"He's...Zhan Dao!" Luo You suddenly exclaimed. It seemed like I saw something shocking.
Ning Fan has found a way to truly pass this level, which is to flatten the mountain with one sword. Then the place where he stands is the top of the mountain, isn't it?
This is the correct way to pass this level, and it is a crucial step for a true immortal to transcend eternity and become an immortal emperor!
An immortal is a person standing on a mountain, and an immortal emperor must be a person standing on the top of a mountain.
However, there is no end to the road, and there is no mountain top. If you want to stand on the top of the mountain, you need to cut the road! Cut off the unnecessary and untraceable paths. Only by leaving the path under your feet can you become the Immortal Emperor!
Luo You couldn't believe it, Ning Fan actually slashed with one sword...
No one had ever told Ning Fan that breaking through to the Immortal Emperor required killing Dao. It's really scary that he came to this point just by relying on his own understanding...
It's obvious. Only the Immortal Emperor can kill Dao Mountain, but Ning Fan today cannot kill Dao Mountain.
Although his sword was powerful, it struck Daoshan, but it only caused Daoshan to tremble slightly, and everything returned to the original state immediately.
His sword didn't even leave a single scratch on Dao Mountain...
"It's a pity. Although I have seen through the real way to pass this level, my level is far from enough to pass it..."
"Back then, Yu Zu traveled across the four worlds and nine realms, and his magical power was so powerful that it shocked the Immortal Emperor. He left behind the four gates of heaven and earth. This gate of earth may be reserved for future generations to become emperors..."
"It's a pity that Yu Zu could have imagined that after his death, the Rain Realm would decline to this point. In the Rain Realm, there are no immortals, even Suixu, there are only a few... I am afraid that no one can kill this mountain. broken."
After Ning Fan finished speaking, rays of light suddenly rose up around him, transporting them out of the illusion.
Although he didn't smash the Tao Mountain or destroy the Earth Pass, he finally found the correct way to break the pass, so he passed the pass.
In a flash of light, Ning Fan and Yun Daoku appeared in the Rain Temple at the same time.
For a moment, the entire Rain Temple was filled with exclamations of exclamation.
"Oh my God! Marquis Suyi actually passed the Earth Pass! Very few people pass the Earth Pass!"
"Yes, the last time someone passed through the Earth Pass seems to have been hundreds of thousands of years ago!"
"Of the four levels of heaven and earth, it is usually very rare to pass one level through refining. Su Yihou has already broken two levels in a row! Rumor has it that he is still a sixth-level alchemy master, and I am afraid that it will not be difficult to pass the third level... Today, among the four levels of heaven and earth, Su Yi has already passed two levels in a row!" Yihou can break through at least three levels, it’s really scary!”
"I wonder what level rewards Su Yihou can get!"
The Rain Emperor frowned and asked through a message to Venerable Ming, "Facing the phantom of Diguan's golden armor, does he show any royal aura?"
"No..." Lord Ming replied truthfully.
"Really... If you can't test anything in the third level, everything depends on the fourth level."
Ning Fan took out the Palace Master's Order. After passing the level this time, his merit value increased by tens of billions again.
Countless silver light spots suddenly flashed in front of him, and the light spots condensed into a silver treasure box. The box seemed to contain the rewards for clearing the Earth Pass.
The treasure box has not yet been opened, but there is a vast mana fluctuation, which makes all the old monsters present hold their breath.
Even the Rain Emperor's eyes were shocked, showing an incredulous expression, and for a moment he forgot all about his royal aura!
"This is it! This is it!" Countless old monsters began to breathe rapidly.
Ning Fan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Earth Pass reward would be such a good thing.
This thing is very good, he likes it very much, but if he gets it in public, he doesn't know if it will cause other people to look at him...
Everyone had already guessed what this thing was, and Ning Fan no longer tried to hide it. He sighed softly and opened the treasure box.
The moment the treasure box was opened, wisps of cold white mist immediately emitted from the box.
What is placed in the box is a Dao Fruit!
A Sanxian Dao Fruit sealed by seven levels of cold air!
The mana contained in this Sanxian Dao Fruit is at least 2 million Jiazi!
Even for an old monster like the Rain Emperor, it is extremely tempting!
"Dare I ask Marquis Su Yi! This Dao Fruit... is willing to be exchanged with me!" Several old monsters with Chongxu cultivation could no longer bear the desire and offered Ning Fan an exchange.
"This prince is willing to exchange a level 7 Immortal Void Fire for this Dao Fruit!" Princes like Yun Zhongyan spoke up.
"..." Although Yuhuang was silent, his eyes were staring at Daoguo with a sense of longing.
An increase of 2 million jiazi of mana for nothing...who wouldn't want that!
"I'm sorry, this Dao fruit... Ning won't change it!"
Ning Fan put away the Dao Fruit Treasure Box and glanced seriously at the Rain Temple, each of the princes, each of them, and the Rain Emperor.
This thing has been exposed, and there is no doubt that it will cause some trouble. With huge profits, it is inevitable that greedy people will eye this fruit.
Ning Fan believed that with his background in the Black Demon Sect, Yuhuang and other high-profile people would not turn against him for a Dao Fruit.
But there's no guarantee that some desperadoes won't try to take advantage of this fruit afterwards...
The old monsters looked at each other in different ways, wondering if someone was planning this Dao Fruit.
There were only a few people who were on good terms with Ning Fan. Although they envied Ning Fan for obtaining the Sanxian Dao Fruit, they had no intention of looking at him.
Emperor Dan stroked his beard and walked out with a cold face, his sharp eyes turning around in the hall.
"The treasures of heaven and earth can be obtained by those who are destined! This Dao Fruit belongs to Ning Fan. He does not want to exchange Dao Fruit. It is better for you not to have the idea of Dao Fruit. Cultivation is indeed precious, but it is not as precious as life. You should think twice. OK!"
Dan Huang's voice was very calm, but there was a faint hint of threat, and his intention to protect Ning Fan was fully exposed.
Seeing that Ning Fan was protected by the Alchemy Emperor, and being concerned about Ning Fan's identity and background, everyone had no choice but to give up their greed.
The Rain Emperor never said a word. After the Dan Emperor spoke, he smiled and said, "Su Yihou is the master of my branch hall of the Rain Palace. Since he is unwilling to exchange for the Dao Fruit, naturally no one can threaten him. Anyone who plans to murder Su Yi Yihou is an enemy of Yudian, and I will not let him go!"
Rain Emperor's words also contained a hint of threat.
Although the Sanxian Dao Fruit is precious, it is far from enough to make Yuhuang an immortal.
Ning Fan is of great use, and his immortal fire body is the hope for the Rain Emperor to become an immortal... The Rain Emperor will not turn against Ning Fan for a Tao Fruit!
Ning Fan cupped his fists and thanked Dan Huang and Yu Huang for rescuing him.
He was polite to Rain Emperor, but thanked Dan Emperor from the bottom of his heart, because Dan Emperor also defended Ning Fan from the bottom of his heart.
"I will host the third level, are you ready?" Dan Huang waved his hand, indicating that Ning Fan did not need to say thank you, and said with a smile.
"Ready!" Ning Fan replied loudly.
"The third test is the miscellaneous skills of the alchemy formation. Among the four levels of heaven and earth, those who pass one level will be qualified to become the master of the branch hall. If they are unqualified in Dao enlightenment, Taoist heart, and magical power, but are proficient in the art of the alchemy formation, they can also You can become the master of the palace. After saying goodbye to the endless sea and not seeing each other for many years, I will test your alchemy skills today! You can also think of it as this is the second time I have given you instructions."
Dan Huang smiled with kind eyes, as if he had made some decision.
Let’s give Ning Fan a big gift for this third level.
Just like countless years ago, Master treated himself...
