The four of them also looked up, and saw a monk sitting cross-legged on the stone steps not far away.

The Taoist robe this person was wearing was of an ancient style, and seemed to be the clothing worn during Zhongxu's time. However, he had his back to the four people, so their face could not be seen and their identity could not be determined.

The gravekeeper was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

There is actually a cultivator practicing on the mysterious stone steps in this black coffin?

Anle looked calm and said, "Once you are on these stone steps, I will not be able to protect you. You must be careful."

He did not ask the three people whether they wanted to stop and wait outside the stairs. They had come through such a long journey, so why should they stop here?

The three of them nodded heavily.

Afterwards, An Le took the lead and landed on the first stone steps.

At the same time, an unimaginable pressure came and fell on him from all directions.

There were also obscure Taoist words in his ears, which were deafening and questioning his true intention!

During the deduction, Anle had already learned that this mysterious stone staircase was testing nothing else but the comprehension of the Great Dao!

Anle once concluded that in addition to the realm of mana, there is also the realm of Dao, which is used to measure the degree of comprehension of the Dao. However, before the stage of refining the void, cultivators have almost no chance to come into contact with the Dao, let alone the realm of Dao. Only when breaking through the realm of He Dao does the realm of Dao become crucial.

During this period of time, Anle's cultivation had actually reached the perfection of refining the void, and he was only one crucial step away from achieving the state of integration with the Dao.

This step requires a very deep understanding of the Tao.

And right now, this mysterious stone step is undoubtedly the best opportunity!

The words of Tao rang in my ears again. The Great Way is difficult to express with ordinary language. Even the language of God cannot fully express the meaning of the Great Way. Only the words of Tao can explain the Great Way most accurately and correctly.

Even though Anle had a high level of understanding of the Tao, he still found the words of Tao a little obscure and difficult to understand.

He listened carefully, found his original flaws from the words of Tao, and supplemented and answered them to answer the questions of Tao.

After a while, the pressure on Anle dissipated, his Tao heart became clearer, and his Tao realm improved. Then he stepped towards the next stone step.

Hong Yingxue and the other two also felt a great deal of pressure, but they had not followed Anle for so long in vain. Compared to ordinary Void Refining cultivators, their Dao realm was already among the best in the world.

Especially Danqing, he was transformed from a small tree in front of the Dao tree of the Great Zhou Emperor. He has been comprehending the Dao tree for more than tens of thousands of years, and his Dao realm is extraordinary and profound.

Therefore, Dan Qing walked to the second stone step earlier than An Le.

In this way, the four of them slowly climbed up the stone steps.

The content of the questions conveyed in the Dao language became increasingly profound and mysterious, and these questions directly hit their Dao hearts, specifically targeting those key points that were either avoided or ignored in their practice.

Soon, cold sweat began to seep out of the gravekeeper's forehead, and his pace slowed down.

He looked in front of him and saw Danqing and Anle still looking normal, with no sign of pressure on their faces.

But to his surprise, Hong Yingxue, who usually had little presence, was unexpectedly tenacious at this moment, and her steps were not disordered at all.

This was thanks to the remnant soul of the saint that Hong Yingxue had just absorbed. In that remnant soul, in addition to the memory about the gods, there was also an understanding of divine power, and divine power was actually also a kind of great way!

Although the group's speed was not fast, it was very stable, and their Tao hearts were gradually becoming complete, and their Tao realm cultivation was constantly improving.

Not long after, they arrived beside the monk who was sitting cross-legged.

Danqing walked the fastest and couldn't help asking, "May I ask who you are, fellow Taoist?"

The cross-legged monk did not respond.

Dan Qing frowned, and went up one more step, seeing his true face, he couldn't help showing shock and horror.

Because, this back figure is not a living person at all, but a piece of human skin as thin as a cicada's wing!

There was still satisfaction and happiness on the human skin's face, as if he was trapped in a beautiful dream, which looked extremely weird.

Danqing then realized that this staircase was not an opportunity for them, but a dangerous place related to the gods!

Danqing looked down and found that a light had appeared on the stone steps at some point, and it was higher than his ankles. The texture was a bit sticky, making it impossible for him to escape.

He was horrified and confused, thinking that this staircase seemed like a trap!

At this moment, Anle's voice came: "Don't panic."

"As long as you can reach the end of the stone steps, you can leave here. If you encounter a question that you cannot answer, just stop at that step and I will save you."

Hearing this, the mood of the three people gradually calmed down.

This is the confidence brought by Anle’s past deeds, and also their great trust in Anle.

Gradually, the gravekeeper began to lose track of Anle's pace and was left behind, followed by Hong Yingxue.

Only painting can go hand in hand with peace and happiness.

On the stone steps, they also saw several backs with only human skin left. Anle guessed that they were all monks who traveled with Zhongxu, but failed to reach the end of the stone steps and eventually died in this silent black coffin.

At the same time, the questions on the stone steps became more and more difficult. Anle began to use deduction to study these difficult problems, and Danqing could not keep up with him.

Anle's mind calmed down and he was immersed in the world of the Tao.

Until one day, Anle took a step forward, his mind and spirit were shocked, and his realm of Tao was sublimated.

In his heart, a seedling sprouted and instantly grew into a towering Taoist tree!

After practicing for several years, he finally achieved the Tao!

Chapter 385 It seems like an old friend has arrived

As Anle solved more and more questions about the Tao, his Tao heart became more and more perfect, and his own Tao practice was also gradually improving.

This is a test, but also a process to make up for the shortcomings in practice.

At this time, Anle's cultivation of the Tao realm had crossed an invisible line. His body shook violently, and the Tao seeds behind him took root, sprouted branches, and grew rapidly. In an instant, they grew into a towering tree that covered the stone steps!

This Taoist tree is dark in color, with many void runes engraved on it. It has a terrifying power that can capture people's hearts, as if it can swallow up everyone's soul.

The first avenue that Anle uses to conform to the Tao is the avenue of emptiness!

After traveling in the void for so many days, Anle's understanding of the void has increased day by day. Moreover, the void, as a higher-level avenue, can encompass many of the lower avenues. It is most appropriate to use it as the cornerstone of the harmony with the Tao.

However, the more powerful the avenue, the more difficult the process of merging with the avenue will be.

If it weren't for the help of these mysterious stone steps, and without Anle's hard work day after day in his deduction, he would never have been able to break through to the Dao in such a short time.

The moment the Dao Tree grew, all kinds of profound insights flooded into Anle's heart.

His magic power did not improve much, but his understanding of the Great Way of the Void opened him up to a whole new world!

"Now it seems that my previous [Infinite Void Tribulation] was just a child's trick."

Anle sighed softly, he was like a child who had already obtained a peerless magical weapon, but it was not until today that he truly mastered the use of this magical weapon. His combat power and magical powers had greatly improved.

This is the transformation brought about by Hedao!

However, Anle's breakthrough was not over yet. Next to the Void Dao Tree, two weak buds had sprouted out.

Anle understood in his heart: "This is my sword way and innate great way."

Ordinary cultivators often take one avenue as the main trunk and transform other avenues into Taoist flowers and fruits hanging on the branches, but Anle is not satisfied with this. He wants to use this mysterious stone staircase to take his cultivation to a higher level!

Anle sat cross-legged on this stone step, silently digesting the profound insights brought about by the integration of Dao.

After his Taoism gradually settled down, he stood up again and walked forward quickly.

With the foundation of the Dao realm of Hedao, the Dao questions on the stone steps here no longer stumped him, allowing him to move deeper into the stone steps.

Soon, Anle could no longer see the three people behind him, nor the deep darkness. There was only the vague light of Tao surging around him, which was extremely mysterious.

During this process, the two young sprouts of swordsmanship and innate qi were also growing vigorously and gradually became small saplings.

Soon, Anle's pace slowed down again.

In terms of swordsmanship and the innate way, his accumulation is not sufficient, and he needs to proceed steadily and slowly settle down.

However, this mysterious stone staircase began to show its dangerous side to Anle.

The more one comprehends the questions on the stone steps, the harder it is to leave them, as if one is about to dissolve in the light of the Tao on the stone steps.

The corpses of the monks that Anle had encountered before were assimilated by the mysterious stone steps because they were unable to contain the Taoist rhyme of the stone steps. In the end, along with their own Taoist cultivation, they turned into nutrients for the stone steps.

Even so, monks throughout the ages have continued to climb these stone steps.

Apart from breaking through the void barrier, the pursuit of the great way is the more important reason!

Which monk who can reach here is not a genius with amazing talent?

These people usually have a firm faith in the Tao and a resolute desire to seek the Tao. The stairs leading to the Tao are right before their eyes. Even if it is extremely dangerous, how can they not climb it?

It can be said that this is a beautiful trap and also an open conspiracy!

"After absorbing the great ways of other cultivators, the Dao rhythm of this stone staircase has been continuously improved."

After Anle pondered, he said to himself: "That is to say, the later the cultivators come, the more difficult it will be to reach the end."

"On the other hand, the first person to arrive here might have reached the end of the stone steps."

Thinking of this, Anle felt a little hope in his heart.

This means that his disciple Zhongxu, as well as the people from Tianren Mountain, have a chance to pass the test of the stone steps.

Anle continued to move forward.

The question raised by this level of stone steps is a difficult question about the innate great way, which is related to the root of the innate Qi.

Anle frowned, thought hard for a long time, and finally sighed: "It seems that I can only rely on my efforts in deduction."

He knew that his talent was not very high, and that his current achievements were the result of his persistent practice over a long period of time.

Compared with other cultivators who climbed the stone steps, Anle's advantage is that he can improve his Taoism through deduction. The only danger here is the stone steps. He can persist for a very long time every time he performs deduction. As time goes by, his Taoism realm naturally improves by leaps and bounds.

******

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Anle's sword tree has also grown vigorously and is on par with the void tree, but the innate great way tree is still very small and looks underdeveloped.

This is because Anle only knows how to condense and use the innate Qi, but does not understand the great Dao contained in it.

Even with the help of the stone steps, the results were minimal.

Anle guessed that this was most likely because over tens of thousands of years, there were only a few cultivators who had comprehended the innate qi, and the stone steps had not absorbed the rhyme of the innate great way.

However, this tiny sapling exudes a heart-pounding aura that is quite extraordinary.

An Le was secretly shocked: "Is the Xiantian Dao stronger than the Void Dao?"

He didn't think about it further for the time being and looked up in front of him.

I saw a palace vaguely appearing in the distance of the long stone steps.

The palace was suspended in the darkness, and its shadow was vague and unclear. It was impossible to tell how far away it was. One could only vaguely feel the palace's extraordinary and majestic appearance.

But Anle's heart was still lifted.

Seeing the end is like having a goal, and naturally you will be more motivated.

In contrast, the Taoist questions here are already very profound and obscure, and every step forward is very difficult.

After walking a few steps forward, Anle suddenly stopped.

On the stairs ahead, there was another figure with his back to him.

However, unlike the previous monk who was only left with human skin, Anle actually sensed a faint vitality from the other party.

He is actually alive!

Soon, Anle came to this person's side.

"It's been tens of thousands of years. I didn't expect that someone could still walk here..."

The monk spoke slowly, full of emotion.

But soon, his expression suddenly changed, he looked at Anle fiercely and muttered.

"Friend An..."

Anle looked at him with a smile and said with emotion: "Taiwan buddy, long time no see."

The person sitting on the stone steps is Tie Xuan, who was the first person to develop the Zhenyang Stone in the Great Zhou Tai Academy!
