"The situation is clear."
Looking at the Six Nations fleet on the sea, Su Qing looked relaxed. "Qingzhou in the Northern Territory is a human kingdom, and mortals are basically in charge. Although we cannot rule out the possibility of hidden masters, the normal upper limit is the so-called innate realm."
Turning to the birds in the sky, Su Qing hesitated. "The blue birds and cranes are all spiritual birds. It can be seen that Di Sheng Qian Continent is the territory of monks. It is difficult to estimate the upper limit, but it will not be weaker than Di Sheng Qian."
Finally, his eyes fell on the few people who landed on the island.
There were a total of eleven people on the island, and their movements were surprisingly unified. They all knelt on the beach and shouted to see the master of Penglai. After shouting, he kept his kneeling posture motionless.
In the eyes of these people, the island is shrouded in clouds and mist, a typical paradise for immortals. There was obviously a high mountain in front of him, but he couldn't tell how far it was. It seems like you can reach it in just a few steps, but it also seems like it's thousands of miles away.
Kneeling there without moving was out of respect for the immortal, but also because he was afraid of falling into the maze.
"In the world of cultivation, weakness is the original sin." Su Qing felt sad and felt the same way.
I used to think these guys were just putting on an act, but now I realize it's probably true.
Even if he really means to tempt, he will be taken advantage of. Just like the Western Zhou Dynasty's conquest of the merchants during the conquest of gods, the saints were planning behind it.
"Those people on the cloud must be Qianzhou spies. The real strong ones have not yet appeared. Keep the same in the face of ever-changing changes. Just pretend not to know."
Su Qing thought about it and spoke to the people on the beach.
"If you go up to Penglai, you are a guest. If you want to see me, please come up the mountain."
The sound is like a bell, and the sound spreads to all directions. It seemed like someone was chanting on the top of the mountain, or someone was whispering in the ear. Everyone on the beach looked up and found that the fog had dispersed a lot.
The mysterious mountain reveals its true appearance, and a stone-stepped mountain road appears in front of you. A stone tablet with Dan Shu Penglai stands on the stone road at the foot of the mountain.
Su Qing added: "This road is the road to ascend to immortals, with a total of three thousand stone steps. There is a Fuxian Pavilion at the two thousand steps, where you can take a rest. Do not stop elsewhere, otherwise you will be asked to leave Penglai."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and everyone was filled with surprises.
"Everyone, it seems that this is the test of the immortal. Should we cooperate? Or should we go our own way?"
King Hui of Qing Kingdom looked around, and all of them were well-known strong men from Qingzhou.
There are people in the court like him and the old general Wang Wei, and there are also masters in the world like Guan Zheng, the great sword of Yan State.
"His Royal Highness King Hui is joking." An old eunuch said: "It is easy to see from the landing on the island that the Immortal Examination is only for individuals and will not give us a chance to join forces."
"I didn't say join forces, but cooperation." King Hui of Qingguo smiled.
"The meaning of Penglai master's words is very obvious. Stopping when climbing is equivalent to failure. But why we stopped, none of us know. The only person from Qi who went to the island was Liu Eunuch himself, and he would never want to be the first to go. Let’s explore the path.”
"This..." The old eunuch was suddenly speechless.
The rest of the people also realized the problem and looked at the mountain road no longer as enthusiastically as before.
"Speaking of which, this island seems to be too quiet."
"Yeah, I can't even see a bird. There doesn't seem to be any living things. It's a bit scary."
"Hiss... when you say that, it's really..."
I used to feel that the island was filled with fairy spirit, but now I feel a little scary. After chatting awkwardly for a few words, everyone fell into silence.
"The six-nation alliance should still be valid." King Hui of Qing Kingdom said: "The order of landing on the island to seek immortality has been discussed from the beginning. The Kingdom of Wei will be first, and I, the Kingdom of Qing, will be last."
The old eunuch suddenly realized: "Yes, our country of Qi is the fourth."
"That's right, it's all been discussed long ago."
The rest of the people also reacted and agreed. This pissed off the great Wei Rentu and two other Wei masters.
"So that's what you had in mind!" Old General Wang said coldly: "I have long heard that His Highness King Hui is very scheming, and today I have seen it. If it weren't for his hidden illness and his short life, I'm afraid that the crown prince of Qing Kingdom would have been replaced soon. People."
"It is precisely because my life is short that I want to do more things." King Hui was not angry and only said: "Three people from Wei State landed on the island, the largest number of people. It is also appropriate to take the first step."
"We, the people of Wei, mostly rely on their abilities, not to be your scouts..."
Seeing everyone quarreling at the foot of the mountain, Su Qing shook his head again.
"Profits come first, and everyone has their own agenda. They use power and tactics to achieve immortality, and they are saddened by Fuxian Pavilion. However, they say that the island is too quiet, which is true."
Now there are only two people in Penglai who can breathe. Apart from him, he is a living stone who only reads books. Although the greening situation is quite good, it is inevitably lifeless.
"If there is a chance, we should get some spiritual beasts to fill the island with some fresh energy." Su Qing subconsciously looked to the sky, staring thoughtfully at the mounts of the Qianzhou spies.
"What a mother-in-law!"
When the six countries were at loggerheads, it was Guan Zheng who broke the silence again.
"I'm here to seek my destiny, so why do I have to be so scheming? If you don't come, I will!"
"Don't mess around!" Another master from Yan State quickly stopped him. "Although you are not from the imperial court, you are from my country, Yan. In order to come to Penglai, you made a promise to His Majesty."
"Guan did agree to serve the imperial court for thirty years, but that will have to wait until he returns. Besides, this place is Penglai Immortal Island, why should it be bound by the human world."
After saying that, Guan Zheng stepped forward and stepped onto the stone steps without caring about anything else.
Guan Zheng was actually a little nervous in his heart. He raised his feet very quickly but landed very slowly. When it almost reached the stone steps, it even hovered there.
The others didn't dare to speak anymore, they all stared with wide eyes.
Snapped.
Guan Zheng settled down.
The whole city was quiet, and the only thing that could be heard was the beating of the heart.
Nothing happened.
He took two tentative steps without any hindrance.
"So simple?"
Guan Zheng raised his head and glanced up, and without thinking about anything else, he strode up the mountain with rapid strides.
"Hahaha, Guan Daxia is really heroic." King Hui of the Qing Kingdom also laughed when he saw Guan Zheng going up the mountain smoothly: "It is true, this is the land of the immortal family and should not be bound by the human world. Everyone, I, the king, go first."
King Hui followed him up the stone steps.
Only then did the others react, and they all secretly cursed for being shameless. Suddenly he was no longer humble and started to climb the mountain one after another.
No one felt anything during the first hundred steps. Some people even use Qinggong to improve their Qi and cross more than a dozen levels at a time. But starting from the 100th level, everyone noticed something strange.
My legs felt like they were tied with stones, and every step was very heavy. Although I can continue walking, I can only climb step by step.
At the 200th level, in addition to heaviness, I felt pain. It was like someone was hacking at me with a knife, and every time I raised my foot, it hurt to the bone.
When he reached the 300th step, King Hui, who was walking in second place, exclaimed.
When he took another step and raised his feet, a wound appeared on his leg. Regardless of the pain or seeing it with my eyes, it doesn’t feel fake.
"No, it must be an illusion."
King Hui didn't dare to stop and slowly raised his legs while looking at Guan Zheng in front of him.
Guan Zheng has climbed to one-third of the way and does not seem to feel any discomfort. Nothing unusual was visible except the slow pace.
"It's really an illusion."
King Hui firmly believed, ignored the injury on his leg, and continued climbing.
He didn't see Guan Zheng's front.
The clothes were torn and stained with blood.
Guan is crying.
The swordsman, known for his pride and ruthlessness, was crying like a child.
My experiences on the road are all true.
The higher you go, the more injuries you will get. The higher you go, the more serious the injury becomes. At more than 900 levels, he even had his chest cut open and his own internal organs were seen.
But these are not reasons for crying.
When I climbed the 1,000th step, the barrier that had imprisoned me for so long was broken.
Wounds heal and physical strength is restored. The inner Qi travels around the sky and gradually transforms into another kind of energy.
"Zhen Qi, this is Zhen Qi... Yuanshen realm!"
There is a soul above the innate, this is something that every warrior knows. But except for the legendary Earth Saint Qianzhou, no one in Qingzhou can break the innate barrier.
The upper limit is innate and the soul has no chance. This has been the curse of Qingzhou warriors for thousands of years.
And now, he has broken through.
After just climbing a thousand steps, history was made.
"Thank you, Immortal Lord! Thank you, Immortal Lord!"
Guan Zheng was not crying for himself, but for the warriors of Qingzhou in the Northern Territory.
Looking at the grateful man on the mountain road, Su Qing felt strange.
"Teddy has become a Jingba. Are you so happy..."
…
Penglai has a mountain road with three thousand stone steps. A thousand steps lead to change, and reaching the top leads to transcendence. It is for ascending to immortality.
