Chapter 4 The Immortal Road is Difficult

When Zhao Hui and the others came to Shuiyue Cave in the early morning, they were surprised to find that Tang Zheng was already sitting on the platform of the one hundred and fifty meters.

Judging from the sweat stains that still remained on his body, it was clear that he had not been here for long.

"Brother Tang, you ......," Zhao Hui pointed at Tang Zhengdao.

Tang Zai replied lightly: "Being in the cave, I can't help myself, tossing and turning, and I can't sleep at night, so it is advisable to chase the poor man with the remaining courage, and then muster up the spare strength to climb the peak." ”

He said that he was overjoyed, but the expression on his face was stern, and there was no trace of joy.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Hui knew that most of him had other ideas in his heart, so he couldn't say much, so he could only arch his hand and say: "The ancestors of the faction did this peak arrangement, mainly to test the limit and improve, so it is good to combine work and rest, otherwise it will be difficult to continue the future." If the junior brother has enough time, it is better not to rush for a while. ”

"Thank you for your teachings, Tang Zheng saved. ”

After being polite, Zhao Hui went to deal with Lingtian with the juniors and disciples of the Nongtang.

Under the light of thin light, the terraced fields are patchy, and it is also a beautiful pastoral scene.

From this day on, Tang Zheng began the process of fighting hard against this mountain.

As the ascent continues, so does the resistance to climbing.

From one hundred and fifty meters to two hundred meters, Tang Zheng felt obviously strained, and he had to use all his strength for almost every step he took, and then sat on the ground and rested for a while before continuing.

When he stopped on the ground, all the force of his fall was stopped by the ground, but as long as his feet were suspended in the air, he felt as if he was tied to a weight of 10,000 tons.

Because of this, it is really difficult to walk on this mountain, and the feeling of walking on the stone steps is as if your feet have been welded to death, and only by entering the high platform can you get rid of this terrifying power.

With a height of 50 meters and more than 300 steps, Tang Zheng walked hard for a day and a night before he arrived.

When Zhao Hui came back the next day, he was also surprised to see Tang Zai standing on the platform at a height of 200 meters.

To be able to come to this point in two days, even among those elite disciples, Tang Zhengbiao was not far behind.

However, Zhao Hui still persuaded him: "Senior Brother Tang, being able to get to this point can also show that Senior Brother is tenacious and strong-willed. However, mountaineering is not only done by will, but also by taking advantage of the environment. Senior Brother Tang must not only care about mountaineering and mistake the fundamentals, and forget the purpose of entering the Water Moon Cave. ”

Tang Zheng could only smile and nod.

Zhao Hui then said: "Since you have reached two hundred meters, I will go and fetch fragrant grass for you." ”

Unexpectedly, Tang Zheng shook his head: "No, senior brother, I don't want fragrant grass, I want ginseng." ”

"What?" Zhao Hui froze: "This ginseng essence is a life-threatening thing, what do you want it to do...... Don't you ......?"

Zhao Hui suddenly changed color.

He suddenly remembered something, although the power of Water Moon Peak mainly acted on the feet, as he continued to climb, its power would inevitably eventually spread to the opponent's whole body, causing it to form an overall downward trend. At that point, the long-term burden will still take shape and make it difficult for the climber to recover.

The only way to fight this power is to lift yourself up.

But if it is not lifted, in the process of climbing, as long as the burden is large enough to dΓΉ, it will even pose a danger to life.

Tang Zheng gave up the incense grass at this time and asked for the life-sustaining ginseng essence, and its purpose was self-evident.

He's going to rush with his life!

Zhao Hui looked at Tang Zheng in disbelief and muttered, "Hey, it's just mountaineering, you don't have to be so desperate, right?"

"On the day of the great shortage, when the great replenishment, Senior Brother Zhao must have heard of refining. Tang Zheng replied lightly.

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Hui suddenly realized: "It turns out that Senior Brother Tang, you want to enter the state of refining knowledge?"

The so-called refining knowledge is the state that Tang Zheng entered when he fought in the student forest, and then he was rescued by Li Yu, and his strength soared.

And this state of refining consciousness is actually a kind of expression of the mind and spiritual consciousness, but at that time, the sea of consciousness was not opened, and everything was in ignorance, and even if it happened, I didn't know how it happened.

However, it is certain that this state is extremely beneficial for opening up the sea of consciousness, and if you can open your mind when you enter the state of refining knowledge, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

In fact, this method was not the first to be created by Tang Zheng, someone invented this method a long time ago, but this method is more dangerous. After all, the state of refining is a state of extreme physical deprivation, and if you don't get it right, you will die.

It is too worthless to go through a life-and-death hurdle in order to impact enlightenment, so it is rarely used.

But for Tang Zheng, whose hope is more important than life and death, he is willing to do so.

At this moment, he understood what Tang Zheng was thinking, and Zhao Hui also said in a dry tone: "Senior Brother Tang, think twice before acting, this is a bet with life." Moreover, the state of refining knowledge is not easy to enter, even if you are in the midst of life and death, you may not be able to enter the state of refinement. ”

Tang Zheng replied lightly: "I have entered twice. ”

One sentence made Zhao Hui speechless.

Tang Zheng didn't lie to him, he did enter twice.

The first time was in the student forest, and the second time was a hard battle during ten years of travel.

Because of this, Tang Zheng has long been familiar with refining.

In fact, the true trick of refining is not in life and death, but in squeezing, so that oneself enters complete deprivation. The ultimate squeezing is difficult to accomplish by itself, and many people have not been able to do this until they fight to the death, and it takes a strong-willed person to carry out their thoughts throughout their bodies to do so, which is the origin of refining consciousness, that is, condensing consciousness.

It is said that in ancient times, cultivators regarded refining as a prelude to enlightenment, and firmly believed that only after experiencing refinement could they become enlightened. However, since refining knowledge is not the only way to enlightenment, as the years have passed, this habit has gradually disappeared into the long river of history, and now it is rare to do such foolish things that fight for your life, even if the spiritual consciousness brought by it is more pure and condensed.

The pressure on this Water Moon Peak is enough, and Tang Zheng is also strong-willed, for him, it is really not difficult to enter the state of refinement.

That's why he chose Samse, and only this thing can give him the most powerful support when his body is empty. As for the funeral wind snake...... We'll talk about that then.

Zhao Hui quickly sent him a large and good thousand-year-old ginseng essence, took the ginseng essence, and Tang Zheng continued to move forward.

In the next 50 meters, the difficulty increases again.

Tang Zheng's feet were like a mountain tied to him, dragging him to the point where he couldn't move an inch. Not only that, but because he didn't have an immediate ascension, Tang Zheng had already felt the spread of this pressure now, and it had spread from his legs to his whole body.

This diffuse power no longer disappears with his stopping, but always remains, so that his rest effect is greatly reduced, as if he is suffering from altitude sickness, and even breathing begins to become challenging.

However, Tang Zheng did not stop, he knew that this pressure alone would not be able to squeeze him dry.

His goal is 300 meters!

When you reach the 300 meters, you can get another spirit grass, and then with the power of the three spirit plants and the elixir you reserved, you will officially impact enlightenment!

Looking at the sky above his head, Tang Zheng gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.

This time, he walked for two days and two nights.

If you calculate it in proportion to time, then the time spent so far is exactly double every fifty meters.

If we follow the analogy, then the distance from 250 to 300 meters can be reached in about four days, followed by eight days, sixteen days, thirty-two days, and sixty-four days.

If you don't take into account the improvement and change, then it takes exactly 127 days to walk to the 500-meter hero platform.

But reality is not mathematics, and it is not.

When the obstacle reaches a certain level, it becomes a barrier that can no longer be crossed.

If you can't get out in a few hours, it's usually useless to give a few more years.

Because of this, without improving oneself, from two hundred and fifty meters to three hundred meters, for the vast majority of people, it is already a moat.

That's why it's impossible to reach the top without progress – the limit is less than a third of the way, and it's impossible to complete the rest of the trail with perseverance alone.

Standing in front of the stone steps leading to the three-hundred-meter-high platform, Tang Zhengchang took a breath, his eyes full of determination.

Zhao Hui glanced at him with some concern: "Senior Brother Tang, have you decided?"

"Yes, I decided!"

He stepped forward as he spoke.

One step out, like a thousand falls.

Tang Zheng only felt that the downward suction force was so terrifying, as if countless hands were pulling his body to prevent him from leaving.

This power is everywhere, it has long surpassed the limitations of his feet, affecting every part of his body, even his internal organs are being pulled by this power, as if there is a suction force sucking wildly on his ass, Tang Zheng even has a feeling that his internal organs are going to run out from here.

His heart began to pound and pound wildly, and it continued to accelerate, and gradually made a roaring sound in an unprecedented shape, and the blood flowed wildly in his body, like the roar of the Yangtze River, and his head even more buzzed, as if a thousand drums were beating in his ears.

Tang Zheng's whole person was crumbling.

The worst thing is that this bad feeling does not stop with him landing.

From the moment he stepped on the stone steps, the pull that affected his whole body remained and continued to affect him, weakening him until he reached the high platform at 300 meters.

Because of this, Tang Zheng can't stay.

He took a deep breath and stepped forward again.

However, from the moment he stepped on the stone steps, every step was destined to be difficult.

It's like being held down by someone, no matter how hard Tang Zheng tries, his feet can't be lifted.

"Whew!" Tang Zheng roared up to the sky.

The power of the whole body is exerted to the extreme at this moment.

His feet were finally raised.

Little by little, he moved forward, extending into the air, and seeing that he was about to step on the next stone step, Tang Zheng's strength suddenly ran out, and his foot was already snapping and putting down.

Fail!

Tang Zheng let out a long breath.

He didn't say anything, just endured the thunder that roared in his head, and began the process of resting and recovering - just now, almost all his strength had been drained.

After resting for a while, Tang Zheng began to try to climb the mountain again, this time he was much more cautious, consciously adjusting all the energy in his body, raising it to the highest point as much as possible, and then rushing up in an explosive way.

He did it.

One right foot stepped on the stone steps.

Then Tang Zheng rested on the ground with one foot on the other.

In a moment, he stepped again, trying to lift his left foot up the stone steps as well.

As a result, he failed again.

When I came back after a break, it was still a failure.

It wasn't until the third attempt that Tang Zheng finally put his left foot on the stone steps.

Complete the first step.

Calculating the time, this stone step actually consumed half an hour of Tang Tribulation.

Sure enough, truth is not mathematics, and at this speed, it is impossible for Tang Zheng to reach 300 meters in four days.

Fortunately, time is not a problem now, as long as he can go up!

From this moment on, Tang Zheng was completely consumed with this step.

Under the pull of that huge force, every step is so difficult, and it takes all the strength to burst out with the strongest strength to do it. Even then, there are sometimes failures.

Every failure is a waste of energy and time.

Tang Zheng had to carefully calculate his strength and adjust his body. He gradually understood the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't achieve it, and he is no longer in a hurry, let alone hasty without perfecting it, but must ensure the success rate.

But as it rises, so does the pulling force.

Tang Zheng had to take into account the power of step growth when calculating his own strength.

This means that he needs longer and more preparation.

On the first day, except for the first step that wasted some time due to lack of experience, it was actually still the fastest progress of Tang Tribulation, and in twelve hours, Tang Tribulation rose twelve meters. This day is also the most abundant moment of the Tang Dynasty.

By the next day, Tang Zheng had only walked eight meters.

On the third day, Tang Zheng only walked out of the pitiful four meters.

He knew that trouble was coming.

As he continued to rise, the pull became stronger and stronger, and he only walked half the way in three full days.

Standing in the middle of the road, Tang Zheng was wheezing like a bellows.

There was still a twenty-meter road ahead, and more than a hundred meters of steps, but it was like a moat in front of him, and it was so insurmountable.

Yes, Tang Zheng knew that he was getting closer to that tipping point.

Once he reaches the limit, he will not be able to cross it in any way unless he ascends.

But is this my boundary?

"No!" Tang Zheng roared.

He was like a red-eyed bull looking at the road in the distance, full of disbelief.

This scene fell in the eyes of those Nongtang disciples, and everyone shook their heads and sighed.

As people who have been here for many years, they know best how difficult it can be without improving themselves.

The most terrible thing is that because the pulling force on the stone steps still exists, Tang Zheng has been under the influence of the pulling force of his body and mind from beginning to end, although it is not as great as the force he bears when he walks, but it is more durable, which has a huge impact on his recovery, and makes it impossible for him to cultivate on the stone steps.

He was stuck in the middle of the stone steps.

Zhao Hui couldn't help but shout again: "Tang Zheng, you can't go up! Listen to me, now go back to the platform below, and then impact the enlightenment, you can still come up!"

It's not easy to go back, but it's at least a lot easier than going up.

Tang Zheng shook his head: "I haven't lost yet." ”

As he spoke, he stood there and began to rest.

The mind is condensed, and the will is like iron!

Tang Zheng squeezed himself to his heart's content and moved again.

At the moment when he took a step, the roaring thunder suddenly disappeared, and the rushing blood gradually subsided, Tang Zheng suddenly felt as if his body was full of strength, if there was divine help, he took this step lightly and stood on the steps.

Knowledge!

Tang Zheng knew that this was the state of refinement.

After repeated struggles and struggles, Tang Zheng finally entered the state of refining again.

It's just that he didn't expect that this step did not appear when he reached the top of the 300-meter platform, but appeared halfway through the climb.

Isn't it a good thing to be too sure?

The state of refining is the state in which the will forcibly oppresses oneself and stimulates all the powers, and it is precisely because of this that he can lightly step on this level.

But the next big supplement needed was something that Tang Zheng couldn't provide.

Because he hasn't finished this journey yet, under the influence of the pulling force all over his body, it is difficult to even cultivate, and he only has two things in his hands, Nan Yizi and Ginseng Jing, no matter the resources and the environment are in an unfavorable situation, how can he replenish himself?

This accident made Tang Zheng also feel anxious, if he continued like this, he would waste his refining knowledge in vain, not to mention, but it might cause great harm to himself.

At this moment, inexplicably, it seemed as if some force had entered his body.

Suddenly, Tang Zheng felt that all his exhaustion was swept away, and his strength was all restored, as if he had eaten some great tonic pill in one go.

"Roar!" Tang Zheng shouted at the sky.

At this moment, he felt that he was full of strength.

He stepped forward, and the steps that had been like a moat were easily stepped on.

Then a scene that stunned all the Nongtang disciples appeared.

Tang Zheng walked towards the three-hundred-meter platform step by step.

"How is this possible?" everyone was stupid, and one by one they opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them again.

"It's a breakthrough, it must be a breakthrough!" Zhao Hui muttered.

Only a breakthrough can explain this qiΔ“ in front of you.

"But...... But how did he break through, he obviously didn't cultivate!"

Unless there are some special circumstances, there is basically no such thing as a breakthrough in the Qixia realm, after all, the realm is not an upgrade, and each realm means a substantial improvement or even change in a certain aspect. This kind of improvement and change requires the accumulation of time and time, not the impact of the success of the First World War.

But at this moment, Tang Zheng has obviously broken this law, he has obviously made a breakthrough, but it looks like he has not yet opened his mind, so how did he break through this breakthrough?

Faced with this situation, the disciples of the Nongtang were almost going crazy.

They are completely unable to comprehend this phenomenon.

But whether they understand it or not, Tang Tribulation's ascent to the top is still ongoing.

At this time, he had already walked more than 20 meters, and he was only a few steps away from the 300-meter high platform.

However, after taking these many steps in one breath, Tang Zheng's speed finally slowed down.

His strength was exhausted again, and a few steps away, it seemed as if he had reached the sky with sadness.

Tang Zheng did not give up.

Only he knew where this power came from - this was the power of the White Tiger Essence Blood!

The power that was hidden deep in his body and had not yet been developed, with the help of this moment of refining and emptiness, was finally fully unleashed!

It was with the powerful impact brought by the emergence of this force that Tang Zheng was able to get out of so much in one go.

But if he stops now, and gradually decreases as the power of the White Tiger fully enters his body, then I am afraid that he will not be able to step on this level of steps again until he becomes enlightened.

In any case, it can't be stopped!

He continued to grit his teeth and move forward, one step at a time!

Blood oozed from his body, and it was the pull that had really affected and even destroyed the inside of his body, and even the blood began to be pulled by it and seeped out of the capillary pores.

This made Tang Zheng a bloody man, and his whole body was steaming in a blood mist, which looked extremely terrifying.

But Tang Zheng just didn't stop, he roared in a low voice, like a devouring beast, and even his eyes were blood-red.

This scene made everyone tremble.

They have seen countless people reach the summit, but it is the first time that they have climbed so tragically.

Especially since this is only 300 meters, and it is still far from the 888-meter height.

Tang Zheng was unconscious and continued to rush forward.

For him, this is his pinnacle, rushing through here, and there is a smooth road behind him.

The strength in his body was rapidly fading, and Tang Zheng knew that he couldn't hold out for long.

He mustered all his strength to move forward, and finally took another step.

At this time, he was already standing on the last stone step, and he only needed to take one more step to reach the platform!

Go up!

Tang Zheng shouted in his heart, and all his power burst out.

The right foot rose little by little, and Tang Zheng's eyeballs were almost protruding from their sockets.

Finally!

Tang Zheng's right call fell on the 300-meter-high platform.

"Oh!" Seeing this scene, all the disciples of the Nongtang who were worried about him cheered in unison.

They were rejoicing for Tang Zheng and cheering for his efforts.

At that moment, half of Tang Zheng's body was already lying on the high platform, and his whole body was empty, and there was no trace of strength.

Knowledge!

Another state of refinement.

Following the middle stage of refinement, after the White Tiger Essence Blood gave him strength, Tang Zheng actually entered the state of second refinement non-stop, and directly squeezed out all his strength.

It's a godsend.

Supplementing with a large amount of medicine in the state of refining and at the same time impacting enlightenment is definitely extremely beneficial to Tang Zheng's growth, and a certain process is equivalent to developing his potential again.

But herein lies the problem.

Tang Zheng has not yet reached the high platform.

He still had one foot on the steps, and he didn't have the strength to take a step now.

"It's a pity ......" Seeing this scene, Zhao Hui also sighed.

"God-given opportunity, but it fell short!" everyone shook their heads wordlessly at the same time.

Only Tang Zheng's face smiled slightly.

"Yes? Not necessarily. He said.

Then he put his hand in the mustard seed bag and slowly took out an object.

A short blade with an all-gold body.

Seeing Tang snatching the knife, everyone was stunned at first, and then reacted, and exclaimed at the same time: "Don't!"

Tang Zheng's eyes already showed a decisive look: "The immortal road is difficult, only the brave can reach the top!"

Hand up and knife down!
