"I do not want."
Lan Yan was shocked and immediately rejected Zhang Liang's proposal.
Just listen to her say: "I think we can be friends. But becoming a master and a servant is boring. How can a servant who only accepts things as they come and accepts them seek the path to immortality?"
Bei Xuanling's face turned red at Lan Yan's words, but he didn't know how to respond. He just wanted to dig a hole in the ground with his toenails and get in.
Zhang Liangze said: "Are you serious? Are you really afraid that I will fall out? Even if you know my origin, there is no need for me to be nice to you."
Lan Yan: "Of course I am serious. I know that most people believe in the saying that all the immortals are enemies, but if it is true that all the immortals are enemies, wouldn't it be boring if our monsters all spend their time fighting and killing each other? ?So, I want to be a different kind of sea monster, a big monster with pursuits, ambitions, and mavericks. It is said that only small monsters will kill without mercy, and big monsters are usually not like this."
Zhang Liangliang said that Lan Yan's idea was quite advanced, but no one knew whether what she said was true or false. In short, just listen to it for yourself, there is no need to take it seriously.
Besides, he currently has no substantial interest relationship with Lan Yan, so it doesn't matter whether he kills her or not. Anyway, he won't get a few more resources. And with his current strength and family background, he is really not afraid of her, so if Lan Yan insists on making friends, it is not impossible.
Just listen to Zhang Liang say: "I hope that many years later, you will insist on being a different siren. Okay, I will wait for you to refine the fire talisman for a day, and then enter the third trial."
Lan Yan smiled brightly when she saw this, but unfortunately Zhang Liang was not attracted to her because she was not as beautiful as Bei Xuanling.
after one day.
Bei Xuanling ignited her legs and torso. Unfortunately, the number of fire talismans was limited. After half of the head was ignited, she had no fire talisman left.
Compared to Bei Xuanling, Lan Yan could only set his legs on fire.
The reason why they all chose to set their legs on fire was because the third trial made it clear that they had to climb a mountain. There was no water here, so they had to rely on their legs to climb the mountain.
Everyone is a siren. Their legs have evolved and are naturally underused, so setting their legs on fire is their first thought. They want to improve the effectiveness of their legs in this way.
However, for Zhang Liang, he doesn't have to worry about this at all. Not to mention that he has completely ignited his whole body. Even if he hasn't, his other identity is a serious human cultivator. He has mastered several secret leg techniques.
now.
The three of them crossed the Flame Mountain and officially set foot on this rugged mountain road full of rocks.
The Flame Mountain is rugged and steep, with cracked rocks and rising white mist. Occasionally, fire will jump out of the cracks in the rocks. There is no vegetation growing on the entire mountain. As the group of people got closer and closer to the mountain, the surrounding temperature also rose rapidly. After only a thousand meters, the temperature suddenly rose by ten degrees.
For Zhang Liang and others, this basically makes no difference. Even if the temperature here increases by a hundred degrees, it is completely within the tolerance range for them.
No, Zhang Liang went straight up the mountain road.
At the beginning, there was still a road, but when we reached the real foot of the Flame Mountain, the road was gone. The slope of the mountain suddenly became much steeper, and in many places there was almost no difference from the vertical one. The wind blew through the cracks in the rocks, making a whining sound, like the soundtrack in a horror movie.
"Huh~"
From time to time, waves of fire burst out from the ground and among the rocks. Fortunately, the three of them were all great foundation-building demons, so their reactions were faster than the natural bursts of flames.
However, Zhang Liang still gave it a try, igniting his whole body with blood and fire, and reached out to touch the flames that shot out. He only felt that his palms were a little hot. The temperature of the fire wave was about 300 degrees higher than the outside world. Although it could not burn them, this was just the beginning of climbing up the mountain, and they didn't know where the top of the mountain was yet.
As Zhang Liang and the others climbed up, they felt the temperature getting higher and higher. When they arrived at an almost vertical cliff a moment later, the temperature had suddenly risen to 500 degrees.
Here they saw a sign.
An arrow sign pointing to the cliff clearly told them that the cliff was their path.
What was in front of Zhang Liang and the others was a vertical cliff with countless protruding rock masses that seemed to be used for climbing.
"rock climbing?"
Zhang Liang said, couldn't he just fly with his sword? Perhaps the Siren's trial did not consider that a Siren could fly with a sword?
Unfortunately, just as Zhang Liang was flying a few meters in the air, he was directly pressed down by a terrible force of gravity, which even forced him to sit on the ground for dozens of breaths before he could get up.
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple."
Zhang Liang thought for a moment and realized that fighting was not allowed in this third trial. He obviously felt that those who could reach this point were actually pretty good. Therefore, the restriction prohibiting fighting is to protect the testers.
Having a protective heart means that the person who set up the trial will not rush to kill any trialist.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang immediately stepped on a rocky protrusion and began to climb up.
However, when Zhang Liang grabbed the raised rock with his five fingers, the raised rock quickly turned from black to red, and was dyed red by Zhang Liang's blood.
"Hiss~"
Zhang Liang immediately let go of his hand and came down from the cliff. Then he looked down and saw that he was at the fifth level of physical training. The moment he touched the raised rock, his hands were burned to a bloody pulp. Just touching his palms a little bit caused extreme pain.
"It's over a thousand degrees."
The body refiner is not a god. He is not afraid of ordinary high temperatures. Even a thousand degrees is not intolerable. But just now Zhang Liang could clearly feel that the temperature bursting from the rock protrusion was more than a thousand degrees. degrees, perhaps even reaching an appalling two thousand degrees.
"Isn't this just kidding?"
Zhang Liang complained in his heart, if this thing reaches two thousand degrees, wouldn't it be hotter than magma?
The key is, if it was just high temperature, Zhang Liang could still feel that there were tens of millions of needles densely packed on the raised rock, which were extremely fine. When he grabbed it with his hand, the palm of his hand was directly pierced. Even though he was at the fifth level of body refining, he didn't even block it.
Zhang Liang couldn't help but look up at the cliff. It was too high to reach the top. If he had to climb up, he would probably lose his hands.
Seeing blood oozing from Zhang Liang's palm, Lan Yan said: "It seems that this is the beginning of the third trial, which tests the perseverance of the tester."
Zhang Liang didn't say anything. He thought the same thing, but he thought it was a scam.
This reminded him of the Dragon Gate Waterfall for a while. It seemed that in the ancient trials, this kind of test of perseverance was almost indispensable.
There are probably tens of thousands of protruding rocks on this rock wall, which means that every time you climb, your palms have to withstand the terrifying heat and the pain of knife cuts. Moreover, the trial does not give people a chance to rest. If someone takes a rest halfway, the terrifying high temperature may even melt their palms. How can they climb up if their hands are burned off?
Therefore, this test requires the tester to not only endure inhuman pain, but also need to be fast enough, without stopping, all the way up until they reach the top.
The content of the trial is like this. It almost tells you clearly what the difficulty is.
Zhang Liang could even imagine that if the tester failed to reach the top once, it might take a while to recover from his injuries, and the entire trial lasted only ten days, which was not enough to recover from his injuries several times.
Lan Yan chuckled: "This trial seems to be more friendly to me."
The next moment, I saw Lan Yan jumping up, stepping on a raised rock, and his hands turned into hundreds of tentacles, quickly wrapped around the raised rock, and rushed upwards. From time to time, blood would drip from the air.
It can be seen that Lan Yan's face is a little painful while climbing, but this does not affect her climbing speed.
Zhang Liang looked at Bei Xuanling: "The difficulty is not too high, but it requires perseverance and pain tolerance. Even so, not everyone can climb it. I can't help you with this."
Bei Xuanling took a deep breath: "I want to return to Beibei Sea alive."
She was not talking to Zhang Liang, but more like words of encouragement to herself. Once a person has a goal, he will have enough motivation.
After saying that, Bei Xuanling quickly climbed up.
Zhang Liang looked at his hands, then looked up at the two women climbing quickly on the cliff. He thought to himself, was he not as good as the two women?
After thinking about it, Zhang Liang grabbed the protruding rock again. He was like a flexible ape, jumping in the air on the almost vertical cliff.
One hundred meters, five hundred meters, eight hundred meters, one thousand meters...
When Zhang Liang climbed a thousand meters, he felt that his palms were rotten and completely covered in blood. The burning and pain made Zhang Liang grimace under the mask.
At this time, he had not surpassed Lan Yan and Bei Xuanling.
One thousand five hundred meters, two thousand meters.
Zhang Liang felt that almost all the flesh and blood on his hands had been wiped away, and the finger bones could be vaguely covered with blood.
At this time, Zhang Liang had already surpassed Bei Xuanling by 100 meters.
Zhang Liang has his own definition of perseverance and pain. He wants to transform into a fire demon spirit body. He wants to obtain a fire god body. This is his great opportunity to settle down in the immortal sea.
From the moment he came to this world, he knew how difficult it was to survive. If he wants to live and live well, he must keep getting stronger. What is the momentary pain compared to the future's great road to heaven?
Three thousand meters, four thousand meters.
The speeds of Zhang Liang and Lan Yan are roughly the same. It can be seen that Lan Yan does have great ambitions, is ruthless and can bear the hardships.
After Zhang Liang climbed five thousand meters, there was no flesh and blood on his palms. Fortunately, the practitioners' muscles and bones were restrained, so they could not even move the bones. But erasing the flesh and blood does greatly affect the speed. Lan Yan, on the other hand, was still very fast, perhaps because she took more shots.
"The Secret Technique of Violence."
For the sake of the Vulcan Body, Zhang Liang no longer had any spare energy and immediately launched the violent secret technique, doubling his speed on the cliff.
Not long after, he and Lan Yan climbed to a height of six thousand meters, but Bei Xuanling had already disappeared.
Lan Yan saw Zhang Liang's sudden acceleration and couldn't help but said, "Do we need to compete?"
Zhang Liang: "Then let me go up first."
"Of course... no."
Lan Yan seemed to have used some kind of secret technique immediately. His energy and blood surrounded him, and his speed also surged.
But after sprinting upward for less than a thousand meters, their speed dropped again.
The difference is that Zhang Liang's violent secret technique has been exhausted, but he still has Bawang Jin, which barely allows him to surpass Lan Yan.
After a while, both of them saw the peak, and hope suddenly lit up in their eyes.
"Shuush~"
A moment later, the two reached the top of the 8,000-meter peak one after another, but Zhang Liang was only about two seconds faster than Lan Yan, and the distance was no more than 20 meters. You know, he was able to reach the fifth level of physical training, but he almost lost to an early-stage foundation builder. This made Zhang Liang realize that Lan Yan, this girl, might be more powerful than he thought.
However, when the two of them reached the top, they were all shocked, because in front of them was a hole burning with flames.
Zhang Liang snorted, knowing that he was overthinking it. How could the third trial be as simple as rock climbing? Sure enough, the test of perseverance in rock climbing is just the first step.
Lan Yan: "How about taking a rest and recovering? I think your injury seems to be quite serious."
"Can!"
Flesh and blood regenerate instead of regenerating severed limbs, so recovery is not as difficult as imagined.
Half a day later.
After Zhang Liang secretly took a few Qi-Building and Blood-Replenishing Pills and Jianxue Pills, his flesh and blood regenerated. However, it may take some time to return to peak performance.
Lan Yan, on the other hand, took out a spiritual fruit and drank it, and recovered much faster than Zhang Liang.
Just when Zhang Liang was thinking about trying the Flame Cave, there was movement behind him. When he looked back, he saw Bei Xuanling, covered in blood, climbing to the top of the cliff in embarrassment.
When Zhang Liang saw this, he couldn't help but said: "Did he fall?"
When Bei Xuanling saw Zhang Liang and Lan Yan who had fully recovered, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. These two people were so powerful.
That's all. Zhang Liang is a perfect transformation, but this blue smoke is obviously not a perfect transformation, but it is so powerful, which really surprises her.
Just imagine, after rushing up to 3,000 meters, I finally couldn't hold on and fell once. Therefore, compared with Zhang Liang and the other two, he seems to be far behind.
Just listen to Zhang Liang say: "When you come up, take your time and rest. I'll go in and take a look."
Zhang Liang was quite confident. Compared to Lan Yan and Bei Xuanling, he had already ignited the blood fire all over his body, so he should be more resistant to the flame cave. Anyway, this third trial is not aimed at killing people.
Lan Yan hesitated and did not argue with Zhang Liang this time, because when Zhang Liang stood up, blood-red flames burned all over his body, which reminded her of the Fire Spirit. As for myself, my true body is a sea anemone, and I instinctively don’t want to go in.
Although she knew she had to go in later, she at least let Zhang Liang go in first to take a look.
Anyway, with the trial of rock climbing, she estimated that this fire cave should not be the end of the third trial.
Inside the Flame Cave.
As soon as Zhang Liang came in, he felt the temperature around him skyrocketing. To put it bluntly, the temperature here was comparable to magma.
It is very rare for a sea monster who is on a normal non-body refining route to be able to avoid being burned to death in such an environment. But for Zhang Liang, a sea monster who has reached the fifth level of body refining, everything is fine. He knows that the flames here cannot burn him to death.
However, he looked around and saw that the cave was hundreds of meters wide. The entrance had disappeared. There was no exit yet?
Until he saw a line of ancient text on the rock wall: "Nine times of refinement in the alchemy furnace, the demon body is half completed."
"Alchemy furnace?"
Zhang Liang was dumbfounded and ran into a pill furnace? Why do you want the Nine Refinements? Who should you refine? Refine yourself?
"Are you treating me like Brother Monkey?"
"Buzz~"
At this moment, the flames in the entire space converged crazily towards Zhang Liang, directly wrapping him into a fire cocoon.
In the cocoon of fire, Zhang Liang was horrified, feeling that these spiritual fires were constantly being forced into his body. Almost instantly, the blood in his body boiled, and the spiritual fire gathered in his dantian, condensing continuously and forming a highly condensed air mass.
However, it was indeed thanks to Zhang Liang's mastery of the Fish Fire Body Refining Technique that although the flame-wrapped posture looked very scary, it was not fatal at all, and Zhang Liang even felt that he was in a better condition.
"This is the first refinement. How about the second refinement?"
About half an hour later, the flames exploded for the second time and enveloped Zhang Liang again. This time, the qi and blood in his body expanded greatly, but the temperature seemed to have no change. It seemed that the alchemy furnace was refining his own essence and blood, and it had nothing to do with the temperature.
the third time.
the fourth time.
the fifth time.
The flames in Zhang Liang's dantian became more and more solid, and even began to condense into pills. In addition to the fire pill, Zhang Liang also felt that his blood essence seemed to be strengthened by the power of the flame, containing powerful power.
By the end of the sixth refinement, Zhang Liang had an extra fire pill in his dantian.
At this moment, Lan Yan and Bei Xuanling came in together.
The difference was that as soon as these two people came in, their expressions immediately became painful, as if they were enduring some kind of inhuman torture.
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Zhang Liang couldn't help but doubt himself. Could it be because he was at the fifth level of body refining? Or maybe it's because his whole body has been ignited with divine fire?
No matter what the reason was, Zhang Liang knew at this moment that this flame cave was not as relaxing as he felt. Relaxed, just yourself.
No, when Lan Yan saw Zhang Liang looking at them with doubtful eyes, she couldn't help but said, "Don't you feel any pain when your flesh and blood are burned?"
Zhang Liang just glanced at Lan Yan quietly, and it turned out that he was still in pain on his flesh and blood!
Now he is more and more certain that it should be the benefits brought by the fish fire body refining technique, which made him adapt well to the trial here.
"Tolerate."
After Zhang Liang said this word, he continued to practice.
After three refinings, the fire pill in Zhang Liang's body kept getting smaller and turned into a fire bead. He couldn't help but think, isn't this a fire spirit bead?
Did you give birth to a fire spirit bead by yourself?
It turns out that the condition for becoming half a fire demon spirit body is to give birth to a fire spirit bead?
At the moment when the Fire Spirit Pearl was born, before he could study it properly, Zhang Liang disappeared from the cave with a "swipe".
When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the cave and was shocked by the wonderful sight before him.
Opposite me is a magma waterfall. Tens of meters ahead is a cliff, and thousands of feet below the cliff is a river of magma.
On the edge of the cliff, there are long black steps suspended layer by layer. There are thousands of steps, which seem to allow people to walk from the steps to the place where the magma waterfall flows.
Zhang Liang took a breath and climbed up the stairs.
However, as soon as he stepped onto the steps, he felt an inexplicable gravity pressing on him.
In other words, it's not pressing, but squeezing your body from up, down, left, right, in all directions, and from all angles. The blood and fire in Zhang Liang's body began to ignite inexplicably, as if to resist this pressure.
Ten floors, a hundred floors...
As Zhang Liang walked up the suspended steps step by step, the pressure on his body became more and more intense, and the resistance of blood and fire in his body became stronger and stronger.
However, during the burning process of the blood fire, it was also gradually dissolving into the qi and blood of Zhang Liang's body.
He seemed to understand that the purpose of this small level seemed to be to force the blood and fire to merge with himself through external pressure.
At present, it seems that this third trial does not look like a trial at all, but rather like the steps to achieve the fire demon spirit body.
Following this set of procedures, even if the fire demon spirit body is not achieved, at least the fish-fire body refining technique will definitely be achieved.
Zhang Liang climbed to the 800th floor in a row. His body was squeezed by invisible pressure and he lost weight. His body was a little numb and stiff.
Seeing that there were only two hundred steps left, Zhang Liang knew that under normal circumstances, he could only slow down, adapt to each level, practice, and strive to complete the journey.
Otherwise, if you force yourself to go up, you may be squeezed out and die on the spot.
However, for Zhang Liang, he still has a choice.
I saw that he immediately activated the secret technique of swallowing the sea. At that moment, Zhang Liang felt his whole body suddenly light up. That magical power was swallowed into Zhang Liang's body, intertwined with the energy, blood and fire demon.
Zhang Liang was overjoyed, but did not climb to the top immediately because he felt that his blood and blood and fire were merging with each other like water and milk.
Sure enough, only three hours later, Zhang Liang seemed to suddenly realize something. He stretched out his hand and a blazing flame burst into flames.
And this flame is completely different from the blood fire that was ignited on the body before. This blood fire has the immortality of the breath of fire.
Previously, although Zhang Liang's blood fire ignited his whole body, the blood fire at that time was not complete. It could only be said to be comparable to the flames of the Fire Spirit. But this time, the flame mutated and completely turned into a real blood fire, which has the characteristics of immortality.
At this moment, Zhang Liang realized that he seemed to have become a fire demon spirit body.
Yes, you don't even need to climb to the top, you have already completed the transformation of the fire demon spirit body.
At this moment, Zhang Liang looked back and saw Lan Yan and Bei Xuanling's bodies yet, so he continued going up.
Once the fire demon spirit body was completed, there was no pressure around him, so Zhang Liang successfully climbed to the top easily.
When Zhang Liang reached the top, he saw the most shocking scene in his life.
But the truth is that on the top of the mountain is a huge circular magma river. The magma river is still burning with blazing flames. Judging from the color and intensity, it turns out to be blood fire with immortal characteristics.
In the center of the magma river is an altar made of nearly a hundred huge fish bones. On the altar lies a dragon corpse.
After seeing the dragon corpse, Zhang Liang shivered instinctively. Are you kidding yourself?
"dragon?"
Fortunately, Zhang Liang let out a long sigh of relief after he carefully screened it. It looked like a big snake or a moray eel. However, this body is too big, and it takes up such a large area when coiled up. If it is not coiled up, it must be seven to eight hundred meters?
In front of the big snake, there was a desk with something placed on it.
Zhang Liang wanted to go over and have a look, but there was a river of lava in the middle. Moreover, he didn't know whether he had completed the third trial, because no new stone tablets appeared here.
If the third trial has been completed, what about the Vulcan body? Where is the Vulcan body?
