Mortals ask the immortals

Feeling the spiritual power again, Duan Qing was pleasantly surprised. He took another step up without caring about anything else.

His body seemed to be a little heavier, but for his physical strength, it was basically negligible.

What made him excited was that his cultivation seemed to have recovered a little, although it was only a little bit, probably about the same as when he first started practicing, and he had not even reached the first level of Qi training.

He looked at the long steps above, thinking, could he recover all his cultivation by walking the entire stone steps!

It is very likely!

I don’t know which senior arranged it, it’s so strange!

At this time, Bai Hao also stepped onto the stone steps, walked forward quickly, surpassed Duan Qing and walked a few steps above, turned his head and looked at Duan Qing, his expression was blank and a little unnatural.

"There seems to be something strange in my body...!"

Did he even forget his cultivation?

Duan Qing naturally knew what the strange thing Bai Hao was talking about was. He should have felt the existence of spiritual power in his body like him.

"Don't worry about it, keep going forward." Duan Qing caught up with Bai Hao in a few steps and said expressionlessly.

Bai Hao nodded and walked up the stone steps.

As the two of them walked up, Duan Qing could clearly feel the pressure on his body getting heavier, but correspondingly, his cultivation was gradually recovering, confirming his previous guess.

When he was halfway there, Duan Qing suddenly felt the pressure on his body doubled, and his body seemed to weigh thousands of pounds, causing veins on his forehead to bulge, and he dared not move again.

Bai Hao beside him was even more unbearable, and was directly pressed to one knee by the huge pressure, using the golden sword to support his body, so that he would not fall down completely.

It's really weird! How could the pressure suddenly increase so much!

Duan Qing's heart was a little daunting, looking at the half of the stone steps left above, he suddenly felt powerless.

Before he walked halfway, the pressure on each stone step increased step by step. According to that level, he thought it should not be difficult to walk the stone steps, but unexpectedly, the pressure increased sharply at this time, and he reached his limit all of a sudden.

His cultivation at this moment has just recovered to the early stage of Transcendental, but it doesn't matter to him whether he has cultivation or not. The pressure of this stone step seems to be completely aimed at the body, and it is useless even if he has cultivation.

Hmm! I wonder if I can fly up with a sword, Duan Qing thought.

He tried to use the sword-controlling technique on the magic dagger in his hand, but there was no reaction, and Juqing didn't move at all.

Duan Qing then tried to use the Zhuqu technique to strengthen his body, but it didn't work at all. He couldn't even open the storage bag and storage bracelet.

Duan Qing smiled bitterly. Yes, the predecessor who built this cave took great pains to set up this stone staircase, how could he let him take advantage of this loophole!

No, the exit is above, and I can't give up no matter what.

Looking at the ray of light coming from the dome at the end of the stone steps, Duan Qing gritted his teeth and took a step up.

Hmm? The pressure seemed to have not changed, but he suddenly felt that his body would be crushed at any time.

He continued to walk up the stone steps, and with each step he took, the feeling of being crushed became heavier.

Duan Qing was soaked in cold sweat. This feeling was terrifying. Every step was his limit. He didn't know whether he would be safe or crushed to pieces if he took the next step.

Bai Hao looked at Duan Qing who was walking up step by step, and his eyes gradually changed from confusion to determination.

Under this huge pressure, he wanted to give up. He didn't even know why he had to go up.

He was afraid that if he continued to go up, he would die on these stone steps!

Duan Qing asked him if he wanted to live before, and he was sure that he did want to live. This was also his only belief at the moment, to live!

But seeing Duan Qing walking up the stone steps so desperately, he suddenly felt confused. Did Duan Qing not want to live?

Or, is there anything more important than being alive?

He didn't know, but he wanted to find out.

The answer! Maybe it's on the stone steps.

Thinking of this, Bai Hao stood up and followed Duan Qing to continue walking up the stone steps.

...

Half an hour later

No! No more walking!

Duan Qing looked up at the stone steps ahead, which were less than ten feet away, and every pore in his body was trembling.

Although the pressure did not increase along the way, the pressure on his heart would increase with every step he took.

At this time, his body and mind were under tremendous pressure, which made him feel breathless.

In addition to walking up woodenly, he did not dare to make any extra movements, for fear that even if he just raised his hand to wipe the sweat, it would be the last straw that broke his back.

Facing double pressure on his body and mind, he himself felt incredible to be able to walk here!

At this time, his psychological endurance had also reached its limit. The stone steps ahead, which were less than ten feet away, seemed to him like a natural chasm, almost impossible to cross!

It seemed that there were countless voices in his heart telling him that if he took another step forward, his body would be torn apart, everything he had would no longer exist, and he would never see the people he cared about and the people who cared about him again.

Even he himself felt that it would be like this.

Back off?

No! There is no retreat on the road of cultivation! He vaguely understood that if he could not walk all the steps this time, he would probably be trapped here and could never get out!

Even if I was torn to pieces and blood was spilled on the spot today, I would fight hard and escape from this damn place!

A strong and extremely unyielding feeling rose in Duan Qing's heart. He had endured all kinds of hardships in the past, and today he would never retreat!

Suddenly, everything around him seemed to disappear out of thin air, leaving only the stone steps less than ten feet in front of him.

His body stopped shaking, his heart became extremely calm, and he took a step forward.

The slight sound of his footsteps gently landing on the stone steps was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart, causing his heart to tremble suddenly!

He seemed to vaguely hear the sound of bones cracking all over his body, but he didn't care. He was ready to bleed on the spot. Even if he died, what was there to fear!

One step, two steps, three steps...

Crack, crack...

The sound of broken bones was endless, and he even felt that his flesh and blood were being torn apart, and his scalp was also cracking under strong pressure.

The blood dyed his face red and blurred his eyes.

But strangely, although he felt that there was no intact bone in his body, and his flesh and blood were separated, he could really feel the pain, but he could still move forward, like a walking corpse.

Duan Qing was getting closer and closer to the end of the steps, five feet, four feet, three feet...!

He stared at the end of the stone steps in front of him, his eyes could not accommodate anything else, at this moment that was his only goal.

What kind of pain is this! In terms of the degree of pain, it may not reach the level of pain he felt when he was baptized by thunder in the giant Kun body at the beginning.

But the pain he endured at this time was not only physical, but also psychological.

However, when a person is indifferent to life and death, and does not care about death, there is nothing in the world that can make people afraid.
