Chapter 236: Ninety-Nine Heavenly Ladders, Cui Ren's Entrustment
In ancient times, there was a road of conscience (also known as the ladder to heaven), the wall of life and death, the road of no return, etc., which was an introductory disciple.
It's a pity that after the destruction of the ancients, both the environment and the mentality of immortal cultivators in the entire immortal cultivation world have changed, and now only the qualifications are asked, but the process of torturing the heart, facing life and death, and tempering the mind is missing.
In this way, although the disciples have received a lot, it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be uneven, and many people will fall halfway because of the lack of these exercises, which is essentially a big wave of sand, but it is more cruel and ruthless.
I never thought that it was here, it only existed in ancient times, but now it has become a legend, and the inquisitive road of anecdotes actually appeared in front of him.
"It's a pity!"
When Zhang Fan stepped out, the thoughts in his heart turned a thousand times, and finally turned into a regretful sigh.
He really wanted to experience how the ancient sect tortured the disciple's true heart, which was by no means a sentence of "Is the original heart strong?" can be summed up by a simple sentence of "Can you hold it?"
It made him regret in his heart that the ladder to the sky in front of him only had its shape, and it did not torture the inner things.
He didn't think this out of warranted suspicion, but because of the example set by the three Grandmasters who had arrived here before him.
On the stairs formed by clouds and mist, the three of them flew by, although they had never really flown up, like dragonflies dotting water, every step seemed to float in the air, and every moment there was a foot on the stairs, but for a moment, it was already halfway through.
Obviously, this ladder to heaven is not too difficult for them.
However, when Zhang Fan stepped on the first step, he knew that it was not so simple.
As soon as you step on the stairs, an invisible pressure envelops the whole body, only by stepping on the stairs, this pressure will be slightly relieved, once you leave, it will be as if the five mountains gathered, when the hood is under the hood, the whole person will be crushed into powder.
This pressure does not exist alone, as soon as it appears, Zhang Fan perceives that it is faintly connected to the entire space, thinking that it is to mobilize the power of the entire space, if you want to forcibly resist flying, it is equivalent to destroying the space with one blow.
That's really difficult for a strong man, just look at the three proud grandmasters, all honestly bow their heads, and climb step by step according to the rules of this world, you can know what arrogant thoughts you want to break all this, if it is not a primordial old monster, I am afraid that it is absolutely impossible.
The first step is as warm as spring, like the first ray of sunshine after the haze of continuous spring rain, which makes people feel warm all around.
On the second stage, in the afternoon of summer, the air was swaying hot, and the air was dry.
However, after two steps, the others also appeared from the red cloud, and each stepped on the ladder and began their own path to the ladder.
On the third stage, at night in winter, the fire is raging, and it is more and more scorching from its cold.
Behind him, heavy footsteps came, and it seemed that someone had stepped on the same stairs as Zhang Fan.
"Huh?"
Zhang Fan stopped slightly, looked back, and saw only a chubby figure, following him step by step.
"Cui Ren?"
"What does he mean by that?"
There are so many ladders in front of him, why did he choose the same one as himself, Zhang Fan was suspicious in his heart, stopped, and waited for Cui Ren to follow.
"Senior Brother Zhang, you can let my old Cui rush it!"
Wiping a handful of fat faces, which always looked oily, Cui Ren greeted with a smile.
Seeing that he was still the same, Zhang Fan's heart warmed, and it was true that in the Faxiang Sect, in addition to the senior brothers of Master Han Hao's line, this Cui Ren can be talked about.
"Why didn't Brother Cui leave?"
Zhang Fan thought about it, but still asked directly.
This person is the same as Han Hao, another person who makes him unable to see through, they are all cautious to the extreme, and he was surprised that he didn't leave the light gate before, which is not in line with his usual behavior, and now that he has the opportunity, he directly said the doubts in his heart.
"Hehe, where there is good food, naturally there is my old Cui. ”
Cui Ren laughed and snorted, obviously reluctant to talk deeply.
Zhang Fan smiled, didn't delve into it, just nodded at him, and continued to walk out.
The fourth step, this step, is like stepping into a bonfire, Zhang Fan's brows can't help frowning.
Such a temperature is naturally helpless for him, even if it is a hundred times higher, it is not comparable to his true fire, what makes him frown is that by this time, he has already understood what the test of the ladder to heaven is.
Looking up, such a staircase requires ninety-nine steps to reach the main entrance of the main hall.
Ninety-nine steps, step by step, people rise step by step, and the temperature around them is infinitely higher, you can imagine how terrifying it should be when you reach the highest temperature.
It is not easy to think about it, Zhang Fan continued to move forward, the speed was not in a hurry, there was no pause, he concentrated his energy, and walked up the stairs step by step.
I don't know how long it has been, but I felt the hotter and hotter temperature, and suddenly I looked up, only to find that I was halfway there.
There are only fifty steps left, and the grand main entrance seems to be in sight, but it is only a seem.
At this point, Zhang Fan's body was no longer the unresponsive appearance, and a thin first-level red light shrouded it, which not only had the meaning of isolating the high temperature, but also had the state of absorption, transformation and circulation.
At the same time, the pressure on the body also became stronger and stronger as the ladder ascended, faintly suppressing the pace, making people unable to move fast, but slowly, experiencing the increasingly hot temperature.
Not only him, but even the three Sect Masters did not have the previous relaxed posture, at this time they were on the last few steps, their steps were steady and calm, not seeing the previous lightness and elegance, and there were all kinds of brilliance flashing, obviously operating the skill to a certain extent, before it was revealed.
Zhang Fan took a deep breath, didn't look at it anymore, and stepped out again.
At this step, as if there was some kind of separation, the red light around the body suddenly exploded, and the slightest flame ignited on the body for no reason, which was different from the previous simple high heat, but it was scorched with flames.
Zhang Fan has played with fire all his life, how can he be afraid of this?
However, when the true power was running, all the flames were instantly absorbed into it, not only did it not hurt in the slightest, but even once transformed, it turned into red light again and merged into the brilliance of the protective body.
That is to say, he specializes in cultivating fire and supernatural powers, so he can be so relaxed and comfortable, and he can't be so comfortable as someone else.
Behind him, Cui Ren's breathing gradually became thicker, like an old cow could not be cultivated, and on the left, the rumbling sound of thunder was endless, and the purple light soared into the sky, and the violent meaning could still be clearly felt even if it was far away.
- Shenxiao Sect, tall woman!
There was no need to pay attention, Zhang Fan naturally understood who was making such a move, it was the woman of the Shenxiao Sect who had left with them before.
This person's expression was cold, and since she appeared, she had never seen her look at others, as if no one had put it in her heart.
Although he had never fought and had never heard of this person, Zhang Fan could roughly grasp this person's cultivation from Grandma Tong's personal experience and his perception from the magic weapon purple sword.
"Strong, but not enough!"
Feeling the sense of destruction and violence in the air, Zhang Fan secretly evaluated her strength in his heart.
Can't comprehend the meaning of life in the Shenxiao Thunder Law, the way of life and death is incomplete after all, such as a leopard in the tube, although you can imagine the appearance of a leopard, but after all, it is not a real leopard.
After understanding that she was not a great threat to herself, Zhang Fan didn't pay much attention to it.
At this time, on his right side, there was a soft groan that was like a heavenly demon girl, dancing softly, but it was a pity to use the heavenly demon supernatural powers; in the distance, it seemed that the rooster was singing, and it was like a phoenix crowing, and a strange and incomparably strange chirp came, but it was the three-life evil phoenix of the phoenix's wild song!
These people, who are almost at the peak of the foundation building period, the top masters of the younger generation, have already used their real supernatural powers when they take a step, which shows that those who withdrew before are also wise.
If they come here, it is this ladder to heaven, which is like a moat, how can they enter the main hall and obtain the true treasure?
Putting aside all distracting thoughts, Zhang Fan's body was full of real power, and an astonishing high temperature emanated from his body, faintly pressing the heat of the ladder itself, and he stepped again, climbing towards a high place.
After a while, he walked through dozens of steps, and the last ten steps were in front of him.
At this time, the three Sect Masters entered the hall for a long time, and the wide open door was still deep and quiet, without any movement, like a huge mouth, devouring everything, without revealing the slightest trace.
Although it can be seen from what he has seen and heard along the way that the fire spirit bead must not be easy, and he may not be able to get the moon if he is close to the water, but seeing that they are so far ahead, Zhang Fan still can't help but sigh secretly.
The temperature and the number of flames have gradually risen to the point where he is not comfortable transforming, and a large number of flames surround his body, and for a while, it seems that it is like a huge torch burning.
The great power in his body was running to the limit, and he was about to step through the remaining ten steps in one go, and enter the main hall, but he heard an intermittent word coming from behind him.
Zhang ...... Senior Brother Zhang, and ...... Wait, Cui. ”
"Huh?"
Zhang Fan hesitated for a moment, but still stopped his pace and looked back at Cui Ren.
"Senior brother later!"
After a while, Cui Ren came to the front panting, blurred behind him, a huge phantom looming, unable to see the real face, only a huge mouth, as if covering the sky, making people unforgettable.
"Gluttony!"
Cui Ren obviously used the gluttonous supernatural powers of the law to get here.
At this time, among the people who are still ascending the ladder of heaven, only his cultivation is the weakest, if not, I am afraid that he will not be able to go up to these ninety-nine steps.
Regardless of Zhang Fan's gaze, as soon as Cui Ren's voice fell, he took out a huge beef leg roasted with fragrant oil from the Qiankun bag and pulled it desperately on the side of his mouth.
"This is still in the Qiankun bag?"
Zhang Fan was speechless for a while, seeing that his big belly seemed to be a bottomless pit, he wiped out a whole leg of the cow in an instant, and did not stop, conjurifying to take out roast chicken, hooves and other things and stuff them into his mouth one after another, and finally directly held a pig's head and gnawed it face to face.
Don't look at how much he eats, it's quite fast, but in a moment, a large number of bones have piled up on the ground, and with a kick under his feet, these bones burn in an instant and turn into large ashes.
At this time, he patted his belly, which was not half swollen, and said with satisfaction: "Seven points full, cool!"
immediately raised his head, looked directly into Zhang Fan's eyes, and said, "Senior brother, Lao Cui has something to trust." ”
