Chapter 611 Climbing Bone Mountain, Xiao Li's Fortuitous Encounter

In another direction from where the Overlord Clan was located, seventeen or eighteen figures were discreetly positioned at the edge.

However, no force dared to approach them.

Occasionally, someone would glance over, and their eyes would show a look of awe.

Because that was the alliance of the two most powerful forces that entered the secret realm this time.

The teams of the two top powers, Daoxu Temple and Biluo Palace.

"This Ba Tian is quite clever; he actually came up with such a method. He's not at all like his clumsy self. Fairy Luo, don't you think so?"

A young man dressed in a star-patterned Taoist robe chuckled.

"The people of the Overlord Clan are just domineering in their actions, not brainless. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to maintain their position among the top three of the thirty-six superior clans for so many millennia. As the Dao Child of the Overlord Clan in this generation, Ba Tian is naturally not as simple as he appears on the surface."

A woman with a veiled face, slender figure, and a cool demeanor, as if she were shrouded in mist, spoke softly.

“That’s true, but this one doesn’t seem to appreciate it. Fairy Luo, how far do you think he can go?” said the young man in the star-patterned Taoist robe.

"I don't know. This person is very mysterious. We'll find out soon enough," said the aloof woman wearing a veil.

"Brother Batian, how many joints do you think this one will eventually reach?"

On the other side, Shen Zangfeng was also asking Batian a question.

"It's certain that he'll reach more than ten sections. His physical body is definitely stronger than ours, and he faces fewer restrictions. The height he can climb will probably be higher than ours," Ba Tian guessed. "But I can't say exactly how far he can go."

“That’s right. Most of us are at the Golden Core stage or above. This space is too restrictive for us. This person has a strong physical body and has gained a lot of advantages.” Shen Zangfeng nodded in agreement.

“If he didn’t have the ability, I wouldn’t want to work with him.”

“Brother Batian is good at seizing opportunities, but what if this person reaches the top in one go and obtains the opportunity? What do you plan to do?” Shen Zangfeng asked tentatively.

"What else can happen?" Ba Tian said calmly. "If he can really reach the top directly and obtain the opportunity, it means that his strength is even greater than we estimated. If that's the case, we are probably no match for him in this space. Then this opportunity should be obtained by him."

"Brother Batian's insight is indeed profound," Shen Zangfeng praised.

"Let's wait and see. This Bone Mountain has dozens of sections, and the higher you go, the more dangerous it becomes. Even we can only barely make it to the tenth section. No matter how strong this guy is, he can't possibly reach the top. Once he's suffered, he'll consider my suggestion."

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, the other companies will also have the same idea and try to snatch people from you, Brother Batian."

"As long as Brother Shen doesn't try to take people from me, that's fine. As for the other families, if they're so unscrupulous, then at most we'll have fought one battle. My Bawang clan isn't afraid of them," Ba Tian said indifferently.

Shen Zangfeng smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Ba Tian didn't care. Although he and Shen Zangfeng were like brothers, it didn't mean that their relationship had really reached that level.

The reason they were able to join forces was because they had all made a solemn vow.

But even he himself doesn't believe he can truly be completely open with someone.

So Shen Zangfeng didn't respond, which didn't surprise him. Instead, he continued to keep his eyes on Lu Qing.

Lu Qing, who was being watched by many powerful figures, did not rush to climb the mountain immediately.

He first carefully observed Bone Mountain for a while, and then pondered for a bit.

Only then, under the gaze of the powerful figures, did he slowly walk towards the steps.

"It's starting! This one is finally going to climb the mountain!"

"Everyone, guess which joint this person will reach?"

"It's hard to say. When top-tier Golden Core cultivators like Ba Tian and Shen Zangfeng tried it before, most of them couldn't hold on until the tenth joint. Although this person's physical body is strong, we don't know what kind of magic weapon he has, so it's hard to guess."

"I guess this person is very likely to have reached the fifteenth joint or higher. His physical body is too strong. To be able to control such a powerful body so well, his spiritual power must also be strong. Those evil beasts may not be able to do anything to him."

Amidst the murmurs of the powerful figures, Lu Qing finally arrived at the steps and stepped onto them.

When one foot landed on the step, Lu Qing's body trembled slightly.

He could only feel a powerful suppressive force descending upon him.

A fierce aura also emanated from beneath his feet, attempting to erode his physical body from the soles of his feet.

The pressure in this space was already quite heavy, but the suppressive force above these steps is even greater.

Moreover, this is only the first step. According to Ba Tian, ​​the higher you go, the stronger the suppressive force becomes.

Looking at the long, winding staircase that spirals up the Bone Mountain, Lu Qing wasn't sure exactly how far he would end up.

Feeling the pressure on his body, Lu Qing felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

But just as he was about to ask Xiao Li in his arms, he saw Xiao Li suddenly jump down from his arms and land on the steps.

"Xiao Li?" Lu Qing was slightly taken aback.

“Ah Qing, I can’t stay on you anymore. A voice keeps warning me that if I want to accept the trial, I must climb the stairs myself,” Xiao Li said to Lu Qing.

"Is that so?"

Lu Qing was somewhat surprised, but upon reflection, he realized that the trials of the ancient witch clan would not be so easily exploited.

"In that case, let's climb the stairs together. If you can't handle it, don't force yourself."

"Mm." Xiao Li nodded seriously.

"What is that? Is it that person's spirit beast? Is it also climbing the stairs?"

When Xiao Li jumped out of Lu Qing's arms, the powerful figures watching below were all taken aback.

Many people have actually noticed this spirit pet a long time ago.

After all, that mysterious young man carried it with him wherever he went.

I brought this spirit pet with me when I was hunting the guardian beasts outside the ancient tower.

However, this spirit beast has never shown any extraordinary abilities, and the aura it exudes is not powerful.

So everyone just thought it was a cute-looking spirit pet that Lu Qing liked, and there was nothing particularly strange about it.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qing took it with him as he climbed the stairs.

They were all immediately taken aback.

Then, when they saw Xiao Lizhen following Lu Qing, hopping and skipping as she climbed up, and looking quite relaxed.

Many powerful individuals widened their eyes in astonishment.

The powerful figures at the foot of this bone mountain have almost all climbed the steps and are very clear about just how strong the suppressive power on the steps is.

Not to mention, in addition to the power of suppression, there is also the pervasive corrosive energy.

It can be said that for a strong person at the initial stage of the Golden Core realm, climbing the steps is extremely difficult, and they can hardly climb many steps, not even reaching the second joint.

So when they saw that Xiao Li, such a petite and adorable spirit pet, could easily climb the stairs, those early-stage Golden Core experts could hardly believe their eyes.

Suddenly, they realized that the adorable spirit pet that the mysterious young man had been holding was also extraordinary.

He seemed to be even stronger than many of the Golden Core Realm experts present.

"That pet seems rather interesting."

The aloof woman wearing a veil slightly shifted her gaze.

Xiao Li's sudden appearance made the minds of the powerful figures below even more tense.

And so, under the watchful eyes of many powerful figures, Lu Qing and Xiao Li slowly and steadily climbed the stairs. "Fortunately, the pressure doesn't increase too much with each step."

As he climbed, Lu Qing also felt the changes on the steps.

Then he discovered that the pressure increased by each step up the stairs was only a tiny bit, almost negligible to him.

This put his mind at ease.

Otherwise, if the pressure increased significantly with each step, and there are so many steps on this bone mountain, the cumulative effect would be an extremely terrifying number.

"This malevolent energy is stronger than the Golden Core early stage Yuan Blood that I refined before, but it doesn't reach the strength of the Golden Core mid stage Yuan Blood. Xiao Li should be able to handle it without much trouble."

Lu Qing felt the sensations as he climbed upwards.

Before long, they had reached the junction of the first and second sections of Bone Mountain.

"Xiao Li, according to Ba Tian, ​​the pressure and the intensity of the evil energy will increase exponentially with each joint you cross, so be careful," Lu Qing cautioned.

"I understand," Xiao Li replied seriously.

Upon seeing this, Lu Qing nodded slightly and took a step up, officially reaching the position of the second joint.

Then he felt the pressure on his body suddenly increase.

Having climbed so many steps, the pressure he had accumulated was already considerable.

This time, it increased even more.

More importantly, even the baleful aura beneath their feet had multiplied, almost reaching the level of the baleful aura contained within the blood essence of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Xiao Li, who was standing to the side, let out a soft groan and her body trembled slightly.

"Xiao Li, are you alright?" Lu Qing asked with concern.

"It's okay." Xiao Li shook her head. "It's just that the pressure is a bit high, but I can still manage."

"That's good. Let me know if you can't hold on."

The man and the beast continued climbing upwards.

Meanwhile, the powerful figures below, seeing them steadily climbing the second joint, began to discuss it again.

However, this time, their focus was not on Lu Qing, but on Xiao Li.

"What kind of spirit beast is that, capable of reaching the second joint?"

"Although spirit beasts generally have powerful physical bodies, aren't their spiritual power usually relatively weak? How did it withstand the erosion of that baleful energy?"

"Incredible. As expected, a powerful being's tamed spirit beasts are extraordinary. This spirit beast is probably not some kind of exotic species; it possesses some kind of powerful ancient bloodline."

"Aren't all the alien species containing ancient bloodlines royal families of the demon race? They should be cultivating in the demon realm, so how come they're here?"

"Who knows? But this spirit beast must have an extraordinary origin!"

"This young man is so mysterious, he might very well have some connection with the Demon Realm."

"Your guess is interesting; it might even be the truth."

No one was surprised that Lu Qing was able to reach the second joint.

After all, everyone had already witnessed his strength.

It would be strange if he couldn't even climb the second joint.

But Xiao Li was the same, which surprised everyone.

For a moment, everyone began to speculate about Xiao Li's origins.

Amidst the discussions of the powerful figures, Lu Qing and Xiao Li continued their steady ascent.

Second vertebra, third vertebra, fourth vertebra...

As they climbed higher and higher, they finally reached the junction of the fourth and fifth joints.

The gazes of the powerful figures below also turned expectant once again.

"Here we go, we've finally reached the fifth joint again."

"That spirit pet actually managed to hold on until the fifth joint!"

"In addition to the increased pressure on this fifth joint, what's even more terrifying is that the pervasive and malevolent energy will undergo a qualitative change and begin to solidify. Moreover, it will not only be confined to the feet but will also begin to envelop the entire body, carrying out all-round erosion."

"Most of the Golden Core mid-stage experts have failed and returned defeated at this fifth joint."

"Indeed, the baleful aura that has solidified is extremely terrifying; even protective magic treasures will be corroded by it."

"I wonder if that spirit beast can withstand it."

In the eyes of the powerful figures, the solidified baleful aura should not pose much of a threat to Lu Qing.

But for that petite spirit beast, it might not be so simple.

Spirit beasts and demon beasts have naturally powerful physical bodies, but their spiritual power is generally weaker than that of cultivators of the same cultivation level.

They wanted to see if Lu Qing's spirit beast could withstand the erosion of the baleful aura after the qualitative change.

Unbeknownst to them, the attention that the powerful figures were paying to Xiao Li was no less than that for Lu Qing.

"Has the malevolent energy actually solidified?"

Having already reached the fifth joint, Lu Qing sensed the changes around him, and his expression became somewhat solemn.

He wasn't worried about himself; this bit of malevolent energy was no match for him.

What he was worried about was Xiao Li, because the baleful aura of this fifth bone segment had far exceeded the level of the Golden Core mid-stage Yuan Blood.

"Xiao Li?"

"It's okay, I can still manage."

Xiao Li's voice was somewhat strained, but exceptionally firm.

At this moment, not only was the pressure it was under immense, but the tangible malevolent energy also forced it to be on high alert to deal with it.

Fortunately, it was a flawless, top-grade innate demon core, and over the years, it had gained many opportunities by following Lu Qing.

This makes it not only physically powerful, but also possess an extraordinary soul, far surpassing other spirit beasts of the same realm.

Moreover, unlike when refining the primordial blood, it no longer needs to incorporate it into the body; it only needs to keep it outside the body.

So although this malevolent energy was terrifying, Xiao Li was still able to barely withstand it.

"Ah Qing, if it's another joint, I might have to use my supernatural powers," Xiao Li said at this moment.

"It's alright. The sealing power on this Bone Mountain is extremely strong, and the baleful aura is also heavy. Those people below don't dare to use their divine soul power to spy on it. Even if you use your supernatural powers, they won't be able to see through it."

Given the immense malevolent energy atop Bone Mountain, anyone who dares to unleash their divine soul power will likely be completely eroded and driven mad.

Lu Qing didn't think that his subordinates would be so suicidal.

"That spirit beast actually withstood the erosion of the baleful energy in its fifth joint?"

Watching Lu Qing and Xiao Li climb up to the fifth joint, they continued their ascent.

Many of the powerful figures watching below gaped in astonishment.
