The heavens start from Quanzhen swordsmanship

Is the second step that easy?

Ancestor Yang Mei was standing on the third step, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

Before he came up, he saw the situation of the Water Lord Ancestor, the Devouring Ancestor and others on the steps.

The stairs are not so easy to climb.

After reaching the third step, Yang Mei turned her head and looked around, only to find that there was nothing strange.

The pressure still exists.

However, as long as he gritted his teeth and held on, he would be able to go up immediately.

The pressure of the steps could not overwhelm him.

Patriarch Yangmei thought in his heart and looked to the top.

"I wonder what the situation is like up there?"

After Elder Yang Mei finished speaking, he began to climb the fourth step.

When he reached the fourth step, the pressure increased a little again.

However, Patriarch Yangmei found that this pressure was well within his tolerance.

"Could it be that because my realm is higher than theirs, the three of them can't withstand the pressure on the stairs?"

Patriarch Yangmei thought that his realm was higher than those three people.

It is normal that he can withstand the pressure that three people cannot bear.

Thinking of this, Patriarch Yangmei had an idea in his mind.

"It should be as previously speculated. This stair level is actually a screening test."

"Should he be the one selected to inherit the throne and then inherit the Emperor's mantle?"

After this thought flashed through Patriarch Yang Mei’s mind, he continued to move forward.

Not long after, Elder Yangmei climbed more than twenty steps.

The steps behind, all the pressure didn't seem to change much in his eyes.

To be precise, it was after he climbed the ninth step.

There is no change in the pressure on subsequent steps.

Patriarch Yangmei thought so as he looked up at the endless steps. He felt that he could definitely climb up.

On the other side, the Devouring Ancestor sat cross-legged in the same place, silently devouring the chaotic aura around him.

He consumed too much energy in the illusion.

After Devouring Ancestor recovered for a while, he hesitated and finally retreated back to the bottom of the stairs.

“The line can’t go on.”

"I went up there originally just to help them explore the way, but I almost got stuck in an illusion and couldn't get out."

When the Devouring Ancestor thought about the situation in the illusion, he was still frightened.

The illusion is not a complicated one.

But what he encountered next, or what happened, was exactly as he expected.

When he entered the illusion, he entered a staircase, and then he walked step by step to the end of the staircase, and then passed the second level, the third level and the final level.

Not only did his realm rise to the Hongmeng Realm, but he also directly obtained the things left behind by the two emperors.

Just when he was getting carried away, he was licked on the face by the Sky-Swallowing Toad.

It was this bite that made his face burn with pain.

Then he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Because everything went so smoothly.

He had indeed imagined that he had encountered many difficulties, but when he thought back on it now, all those difficulties had become very vague.

Unless he actively recalls it, he won't realize it at all.

Now he realized this, but he didn't know what the next level was.

When the Devouring Ancestor thought of this, his expression immediately became clear.

He was now standing on the third step.

"I didn't expect that I would get to the third step."

The Devouring Ancestor thought about this and went down the stairs.

As soon as he returned to the bottom of the stairs, he immediately sensed the breath of Patriarch Yangmei and others.

“They are coming…”

He didn't finish his words because he turned around and saw three people standing on the steps.

The faces of the three people were all filled with happy smiles.

"Are they in the same illusion as me?"

The Devouring Ancestor could tell at a glance that the three people must have obtained something good, so he couldn't hide the expressions on his face.

He didn't find it interesting, but felt that the environment was too scary.

It would be fine if he and Patriarch Shuijun and others didn’t notice it, but why didn’t Patriarch Yangmei notice it either?
The Devouring Ancestor felt that they might not be able to pass the second level.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Elder Yangmei walking up the second step, the third step, and all the way to the seventh step.

This caused a look of surprise to appear in the eyes of the Devouring Ancestor.

Because he didn't expect that Patriarch Yangmei would walk out from the first step so quickly.

There was no one left on the second step...

hiss!
"Am I still in the illusion?"

The Devouring Ancestor suddenly thought of this.

Then he checked himself.

I found that I was indeed not in an illusion.

This relieved him.

He looked at the three people on the stairs, but did not go up them.

Because he didn't know what would happen to the three people, he stayed behind so that he could watch them in peace.

Thinking so, the Devouring Ancestor's gaze involuntarily fell on the Water Lord Ancestor.

At this time, the ancestor Shuijun was looking at the chaotic sea in front of him with a look of horror on his face.

Shouldn't there be stairs going up?
Why did I appear in the Chaos Sea?

Could it be that all this is an illusion?
He stretched out his hand and slapped himself, then checked his surroundings and found that it was not an illusion.

He really came into the Chaos Sea.

But... this chaotic sea is a little different.

"The origin of the water law here is too strong."

A memory suddenly emerged involuntarily in the mind of the Water Lord Patriarch.

That is, if you want to break through from the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian to the Great Emperor realm, you only need to condense one law to the extreme, and then you can break through to the Great Emperor realm.

Ancestor Shuijun didn't know why he suddenly had such memories.

However, the current situation is very suitable for him.

This chaotic sea is filled with a gentle chaotic aura, and besides that is the rich law of water washing.

Ancestor Shuijun did not hesitate, sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb the original power of these laws.

As he practiced, chaotic spiritual energy surged into his body crazily, and his cultivation level increased at an astonishing rate, even causing strange phenomena in heaven and earth.

He felt that he was about to break through to the peak of the Hongmeng Realm and even touch the edge of the Great Emperor Realm.

The entire face of Shuijun Patriarch was filled with excitement.

"What kind of illusion did this guy encounter?"

Ancestor Devouring had been looking at Ancestor Shuijun. After seeing the expression on Ancestor Shuijun's face, he began to feel doubtful.

He had seen the environment of this place and knew how powerful these places were.

The environment of this place involuntarily evokes the deepest desires buried deep in people's hearts.

He believed that the ancestor Shuijun should have sunk into it.

"It's a pity I can't help."

When the Devouring Ancestor walked down from the stage street, he did not see the figures of three people. Instead, he saw the figures of three people after he came down.

Then there is only one result, that is, the illusion environment encountered by each person comes from different places.

The Devouring Ancestor looked at the Shuijun Ancestor who was immersed in pleasure. He sighed silently and said nothing more.

However, he believed that once the Water Lord Patriarch realized that something was wrong, he would come out.

This environment is not very harmful to people. Of course, if you are trapped in it and don't want to wake up, that's another matter.

Ancestor Devouring was thinking in his heart, he turned his head and looked at Ancestor Shichen.

At this time, the deep-minded old ancestor bent his back and hunched his waist, as if he was carrying a mountain on his back.

The Devouring Ancestor could see that at this time, the Shichen Ancestor's back was bent and deformed, his legs were trembling, and he was almost crushed.

However, he could see the persistence of Ancestor Shichen.

"How heavy is this thing, pressing down on Patriarch Shichen?"

Just when he was devouring the third ancestor, he saw Ancestor Shichen circulating the chaotic energy in his body to resist the temptation in his heart.

The Devouring Ancestor frowned.

He was really curious about what kind of illusion Old Ancestor Shichen had encountered.
Why does it seem like you are carrying something?

Unfortunately, the current ancestor Shichen was unable to answer him.

After Shichen Patriarch entered the checkpoint, he picked up a thumb-sized stone from the ground.

He thought the stone was quite interesting, but for some reason, the stone became heavier and bigger, and eventually it turned into a mountain.

Patriarch Shichen hadn’t figured this out yet, but he held on.

He carried all this pressure and walked up the stairs step by step.

The pressure is increasing.

However, he gritted his teeth and persisted, mobilizing the chaotic spiritual power throughout his body to resist.

As time passed, the pressure gradually eased, and his realm began to loosen. He broke through to the peak of the Hongmeng Realm in one breath.

Ancestor Shichen stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking all living beings, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

When the Devouring Ancestor saw this scene, he looked strange.

He could see that Old Ancestor Shichen was now in high spirits.

It must be that something very good happened.

The Devouring Ancestor shook his head. Unfortunately, no matter what good things he encountered, he was still in an illusion.

If this wasn't in a fantasy world, then...

As soon as the thought came to his mind, he found that the steps had great appeal to him.

This made the Devouring Library wake up immediately.

"We can't just sit here and watch the three of them."

"This staircase is trying to pull me back."

"I have to wait for three people in this place."

Inside the Devouring Ancestor's heart, emotions were constantly struggling.

This tearing feeling gave the Devouring Library a headache.

However, he finally decided to wait.

All three of them went up the stairs.

He's alone at the back, so it's best not to go up.

The Devouring Ancestor looked at the Yangmei Ancestor.

At this time, Patriarch Yang Mei used his chaotic spiritual power to resist, but found that the circulation of spiritual power was extremely sluggish.

He gritted his teeth and persevered, climbing up step by step. With every step he climbed, the pressure was relieved a little.

The illusion made him mistakenly believe that this was the screening mechanism for the Great Emperor's inheritance, and only truly tenacious cultivators could pass the test.

When he reached the 999th step, the pressure completely disappeared.

Yang Mei was very happy. He thought he had passed the test and would soon inherit the emperor's legacy.

Sure enough, when he stepped onto the last step.

He finally saw what the emperor left behind.

All three of them were trapped in the illusion.

When Ancestor Devouring saw that Ancestor Yangmei was like this, he didn't dare to provoke him easily again.

"There are so many steps here. It can't be that high. Do I have to climb step by step?"

"It must be somewhere around here. It should be similar to the mirror level on the first level."

"I'll look around."

The Devouring Ancestor felt that the way to pass the second level must be somewhere nearby.

Just as he was searching desperately, he found that the passage he came in through was open.

The Devouring Ancestor frowned and thought for a moment, he looked at the passage in front of him.

There are also some tricks he left behind.

"Has anyone entered the first floor again?"

The Devouring Ancestor felt that the passage had been opened by someone and that someone must have come in from the first floor.

However, after waiting for a long time, he still didn't see who came out from the back of the passage.

"Would you like to go back and take a look?"

This is what the Devouring Ancestor thought in his heart.

However, just as he finished thinking about it, he saw the passage disappear.

He felt inexplicably regretful.

The Devouring Ancestor sighed.

“I didn’t catch the chance!”

Just as the Devouring Ancestor was thinking this, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the stairs.

He turned his head and saw Patriarch Yangmei with blood dripping down.

But the next moment, he saw that all the blood that had flowed out flowed back.

"what is happening?"

Just when Ancestor Devouring thought that Ancestor Yangmei was in danger, he saw Ancestor Yangmei turn around and walk down the stairs step by step.

After walking down the steps, Patriarch Yangmei sighed.

"This level is too difficult. It doesn't give any of us a chance."

Of course, he was not saying this to himself, but to the Devouring Ancestor.

After he came down, he saw the Devouring Ancestor.

As for the Devouring Ancestor, how did he come out of the illusion.

He doesn't care about that.

"Did you find the exit?"

"Or the entrance to the second floor?"

Upon hearing this, the Devouring Ancestor shook his head.

"I don't have that information."

"However, I saw earlier that the passage I came in through was actually opened from the outside."

"It's just that I wanted to go look for him, but I didn't see him."

"I didn't even detect the slightest bit of strangeness."

The Devouring Ancestor released his depression when he said this.

Patriarch Yangmei smiled.

This level is quite difficult.

He had broken through to the Great Emperor realm when he suddenly sensed something was not right.

It was as if his understanding had been changed.

Patriarch Yangmei looked at the steps, but he finally decided not to go up.

"We'll wait and see how these two perform first."

Decades passed in a flash.

The two ancestors, Shichen and Shuijun, stood motionless on the third step.

This made Ancestor Yangmei and Ancestor Tuowu a little restless.

"How to do?"

Patriarch Yangmei had no solution.

"If there is a breath, does it enter the same environment as them?" (End of this chapter)
