Gu Juan looked up at the white jade door, which was at least ten zhang high, closed his eyes and felt the faint smoky fragrance emanating from the door, and he felt refreshed when he smelled it, as if even his body had become a little lighter.

After a few breaths, he opened his eyes and slowly stepped through the gap where several people could walk side by side.

The next moment, what appeared in front of him was a stone staircase that climbed up the stairs, looking endless, at least a thousand steps.

Every once in a while, there are pearls inlaid on the ground on both sides of the stone steps, even after the erosion of unknown years, they still exude a faint light outward, reflecting the entire stone steps as if they were daylight.

Gu Juan's body moved, and he flew straight up, preparing to pass through this stone step at the fastest speed, keeping up with the pace of Sima Qianhu and the martial artists in front of him, but unexpectedly, he had just flown to the top of the stone steps, and he felt a huge pressure pressing down from above, and at the same time, there seemed to be a strong suction force under his feet, pulling him involuntarily and falling violently.

Boom!

He stomped on the bottom two steps, contemplating the sudden pressure, as he slowly climbed the stairs, and after a moment he stopped thoughtfully and returned some distance down the same path.

The next moment, Gu Juan took a deep breath, began to mobilize the heat flow of the Flame Palm, and took another step upwards with his feet.

Rumble!

I don't know how many times the pressure is bigger than just now, if it weren't for the fact that he was already mentally prepared, I am afraid that he would not be thrown to the ground by this blow and fall to his knees.

Gu Juan took a deep breath, withstood the huge pressure, and took another steady step upward, standing on a higher step.

After taking more than a dozen steps in a row, he stopped the heat flow of the Imperial Flame Palm, and instead ran the Spirit Cultivation Method, and walked forward more than ten steps under the weight of more than just now, with a slightly knowing look on his face.

And when he was just about to stop running the exercises and return to his previous state of climbing the stairs easily with his feet, he squinted his eyes suddenly, and there was a mixture of joy and surprise on his face.

"I see, although I don't know what the principle is, but just this scale of construction, this kind of design that directly points to the cultivation, I have to make people sigh from the bottom of their hearts, it is really a secret realm that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is really a great stroke. ”

It wasn't until now that he really understood the significance of the stone steps.

It is not simply for the sake of the majesty of the Karma Secret Realm, to prohibit anyone from flying straight up, but to have the effect of tempering and forging on the monks walking on it.

He could even imagine that when Ye Luo was in great prosperity back then, he didn't know how many disciples would be like a Shaolin disciple in the previous time and space, going up and down this stone step back and forth, polishing and cultivating.

After a long time, Gu Juan sighed leisurely, not only did he not stop the Spirit Cultivation Method, but on the contrary, he also mobilized the Flame Palm and the Divine Blue Fire at the same time, distracting himself from the three uses, and under the pressure that was even greater than just now, he trembled and raised his feet to step on the next step.

In an instant, sweat poured out, but then he was dried by his hot body, and his whole body was steaming with white mist, as if he was carrying a heavy mountain, and he staggered step by step on it with difficulty.

If he walked out of an unknown number of steps, after turning a corner, Gu Juan's pupils shrank suddenly, and the left leg that had just taken out was slowly lowered again, and he looked up little by little.

On a certain platform on the high stone steps, there was a vague figure standing, standing silently in the darkness as if even the light could not shine into it, and it was also slowly turning its body and looking down at Gu Ju.

Under the eye contact, the two were slightly stunned at the same time.

Above was an inky darkness that seemed to swallow up all the light, and below was a white mist rising wantonly, and the two figures wrapped in it looked at each other in silence.

Quietly, a slightly hoarse voice sounded in Gu Ju's ears, sounding with a faint sigh of remembrance, "Seeing you, it seems that time and space are out of order, which makes me return to the time when I was dedicated to cultivation, and I always want to sharpen and exercise on this road of self-cultivation...... It's a pity that all these years have passed, and instead of finding the true answer and the way to liberation, I have fallen deeper and deeper into it, unable to extricate myself. ”

Gu Juan took a deep breath, his right hand behind him, and he was already holding the handle of the double-edged axe hidden in the void.

Although it was still far away, although the figure in the darkness was just talking to himself and sighing in a low voice, he inexplicably felt a huge pressure, which could be compared to the kind of pressure he only felt when he saw the red clothes for the first time and faced the throat for the first time.

The faint voice was still slowly flowing in his ears, and it seemed that he was not aware of his high alertness, perhaps he had noticed it, but he didn't care.

"You should be one of the people who are going to enter the secret realm this time...... Just watching those little guys enter, even people like me, who were already in an ancient state of mind, couldn't help but sigh secretly, I couldn't imagine that now that Ye Luo's selection of disciples has degenerated to the current level, and it wasn't until I saw your existence that my eyes lit up a little. ”

"When I first saw you, I was a little puzzled, why you were thrown so far behind by them, and only now do I understand how the eagle destined to soar in the sky could be mixed with those chickens and ducks pecking on the ground, and surrender to ...... status."

Gu Juan stood still, he already had a rough guess about the identity of this black shadow in his heart, but what he didn't expect was that this Karila disciple from 10,000 years ago would come so quickly, or from another point of view, this person's understanding of the secret realm of Kara Luo was higher than that of everyone in Karra today.

"Since I met you on this road of self-cultivation, it can be regarded as a fate with me, so I will give you a gift, which should make you like ......"

The figure said faintly, raising his hand and pointing down without warning.

Gu Juan's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a pinpoint, but before he could really react, as soon as his right hand grasped the handle of the axe, which was as warm as jade, he felt a flower in front of him, and there was no trace of the person anymore.

What's more, as soon as the figure pointed out, he didn't feel any power fluctuation at all, and there was no sense of anything wrong with his body.

"I didn't feel anything wrong, and even the jungle knife didn't show any heat, could it be that guy was just fooling people just now?"

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if this Karoma disciple who has lived for 10,000 years has a rusty brain because he has lived too long, he can't be careless in the slightest, and he must hurry up to report this situation to the Karomin people, so that they can take precautions as much as possible. ”

Gu Juan thought silently, and suddenly became a lot more vigilant and cautious about this long-awaited trip to the Secret Realm of Karma.
