Gu Juan quietly watched the black-robed girl's body disappear little by little, and finally glanced at the empty void that contained many horrors.

Then he turned and walked on the long path of winding stone steps.

The stone steps under your feet go all the way up, endlessly, and it looks like there are at least tens of thousands of steps.

On this long stone road, there is a black and decaying ruin, but the long river without a head and tail is missing, and there is no trace of existence.

Gu Juan gathered his thoughts, began to climb the stairs, and slowly took a step forward.

Rumble!

As soon as he took a step, he felt a huge pressure pressing down from above, and at the same time, there seemed to be an extremely strong suction force from under his feet, pulling him involuntarily and falling sharply.

Boom!

He stepped heavily on the second step, shook it for a moment to stabilize his figure, and then looked up at the winding staircase, and his mind couldn't help but fly to the distance long ago at this moment.

It was the first time he entered the secret realm of karma, and after crossing the gate of the white jade mountain, he came to a long mountain road inlaid with pearls on both sides, and there he met karma for the first time.

And the long stone slab road in front of him is clearly an upgraded and enhanced version of the ladder in the Secret Realm of Yeluo.

If he had stood here at the beginning, there might have only been two results to speak of.

One is that he was directly pressed to the ground by a strong force, unable to move even a finger, until he finally died of thirst and starvation.

As for the second result.

He looked back at the first stone staircase, which was slowly disappearing, and frowned slightly.

It is very likely that it disappeared with the vanishing steps, just like the hapless girl in black, and no trace of her existence was ever found.

After tea time, he withstood the increasing oppressive force, forging and boiling his body, and had climbed dozens of steps upward, and came to the first platform to rest for a while.

Looking back again, Gu Juan's heart suddenly moved, and he found that the speed at which the stone steps below disappeared was rapidly accelerating, if he still hurried at the speed just now, he was afraid that he would not be able to reach the location of the next landing platform, and he would be caught up by the disappearing steps and fall into an unpredictable situation.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately stopped resting and sped up to climb higher.

The higher you go, the more pressure you are under.

When he came to the last platform before reaching the top, even with Gu Ju's strength level and physical strength, he already had a feeling that he was about to be overwhelmed.

And now there are at least a hundred steps left to reach the summit.

What's more, the stone steps below were disappearing faster and faster, almost catching up with the speed at which he was climbing with all his might.

Gu Juan slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and after this period of experience, he knew very well in his heart what caused such a huge oppressive force.

Nothing else, the light of the moon that had become completely one with him.

After slaying the Jade Rabbit who had broken through the Void Barrier, the mysterious power that invaded his True Spirit Soul without warning.

If it weren't for the fact that his physical body was really strong to the extreme, I am afraid that he would not be able to reach the last platform at all, and he would be completely blocked by the huge oppressive force.

And as he climbed, the light of the moon had been constantly crushed and forged, and it fused more closely with his spiritual flesh, which also caused a stronger seal and oppression, and it was not until he was able to complete this long path of stone steps that he might gradually get rid of the influence.

"There's still the last hundred steps. ”

Gu Juan took a deep breath, and the scarlet flames surged up, turning into a flaming ghost face that was a height of a magnum tall, and then took a heavy step forward, standing on the last section of the stone staircase.

Rumble!

With one step, the frenzied force that exceeded the previous several times suddenly came, and in just an instant, it pressed his upright body to the ground, and the burning ghost face was extinguished in an instant.

In addition, wisps of gray mist flew out of the ruins above the steps and submerged into his body, and the light of the moon quickly intertwined and entangled, almost indistinguishable from each other.

Click!

His feet shattered the stone steps made of unknown material, leaving two footprints several inches deep on them.

And then as he withstood the pressure and continued to move forward, the stone steps began to crumble inch by inch, leaving only a straight gray and white footprint, and even after the stone steps disappeared, the footprints still resided in the void, looking unusually conspicuous and eye-catching.

Boom!

Gu Juan jumped violently, and finally stood at the top of the stone steps.

Looking back, there was already a void behind him, and he could only see the footprints that shimmered with gray and white light, not disappearing into the invisible, like a road sign that only remained forever in the long river of time and space, showing that he had been here.

After the last stone staircase disappeared, the almost all-engulfing nothingness behind him finally stopped spreading further, and there was no need to worry about whether the soul would be destroyed and the body would not exist after being swept into it.

But there was no relaxed expression on Gu Juan's face, and there was a little more haze between his eyebrows.

It took an unknown amount of effort and energy for him to rely on the white light inherited from the Three Sages, coupled with the harmony of the reincarnation sword body, to make his body barely reach a stable and balanced state.

However, under the pressure of the stone steps just now, the balance was broken.

The power of the Nine Shadows and the light of the moon have begun to entangle and fight in his body, and they are becoming more and more intense.

He felt as if he had now become a walking Taiji diagram, emitting a gray and white light all the time, leaving clearly visible flashing footprints along the way.

And as time passed, with the strength of his physical body, he couldn't resist the erosion of gray and white light, and he became dry and thin little by little.

Gu Juan was a little speechless now, mixed with a little irritability.

He knew that there would be such an unfolding, so why did he have to go all the way to toss like this?

The fundamental purpose of this special trip to the Southern Wilderness Mountain is to try to enter the Ancient Heavenly Court, look for the traces left by the Three Saints, and see if they can have any understanding, so as to solve the problem of the conflict between the two Cave Heaven forces that they are facing.

But now, not even a single hair of the Three Saints has been seen, but under the pressure of the power of the stone steps, the problem that should have happened a long time ago has been directly detonated in advance.

And it was the high/high tide that sent him to the clouds where the soul and flesh were trembling.

It's just that in the face of the intensifying internal conflict now, he doesn't have a good way to solve the problem, so he can only rely on his tough and strong body to carry it down, and then slowly comb it with the power of the Three Saints and the reincarnation sword body little by little, trying to let these two forces return to you and restore balance.
