Chapter 36
At present, ten feet apart is no different from climbing the sky.
Chang Xi gradually adapted to this huge force and took only a small step forward. A huge force that was even stronger than before came down. Maintaining the posture of taking one step, Chang Xi suddenly realized. I am afraid that in this ten-meter distance leading to the second level, every step forward, the trialist will have to bear more powerful oppression.
Chang Xi snorted coldly and no longer reserved.
A roar sounded from his strong chest, and a sea of blood boiled. If Mr. Mo was here at this time, he would be able to see that the scale of the blood sea in Chang Xi's dantian was a little bigger than a month ago. A stream of dark golden blood radiated from the flowing dark golden blood, which was not inferior to the golden array diagram hanging above his head. As the boiling dark gold blood flowed through his limbs and bones, it was intertwined with the light blue spiritual power in the cyclone, and the powerful force exploded deep in the body.
Chang Xi felt that the huge force pressing down on his body suddenly slighted, and a feeling of unreality emerged in his body. He stopped and took steps forward, and he actually walked out five feet away with the powerful force of Haoran.
Hearing a series of dull footsteps, Wen Yu raised his head with difficulty. Seeing Chang Xi's brave face forward, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. But soon he saw Chang Xi like a nail, about five feet away from the golden arch, no longer moving forward.
Chang Xi knows his own suffering.
As Chang Xi expected, although the huge force between each step under the Golden Light Array diagram was indeed increasing continuously, the powerful force brought by the boiling blood sea was enough to offset it. However, what Chang Xi expected was five feet after this.
It's like Mount Tai pressing on the top.
The pores of Chang Xi's body evaporated a lot of heat due to the high flow of blood, and a layer of evaporated white steam was surrounded by the entire person. The originally straight waist was hunched down again, and the raised footsteps became as if they were moving. However, Chang Xi's eyes became brighter. Although the movement was slow, they were indeed approaching the golden arch little by little.
"That's right, although the pressure dropped by this golden array diagram is getting heavier, the increase is getting smaller and smaller, making it still within the endurance limit. Every step is to cross one's own limit, and every step is a tempering of the body. This is not just a trial, but also a practice and fortune! If you want to get from it, you have to endure it here!"
No one could see that Chang Xi's eyes had turned into dark golden pupils. His unwavering steps moved forward little by little. Blue veins could be seen everywhere on his neck and forehead, as terrifying as earthworms rolling in the soil. The roar of blood in his chest was like a war drum beat across the entire pavilion, and his breathing was as heavy as a bellows in his mouth, and a mouthful of dark gold-colored turbid air was spit out for a long time.
Wen Yu and his friends saw Chang Xi like this desperately, and they all shouted loudly, and they stood up and walked forward. Even the delicate Xin Tong blushed and refused to give up.
Hearing the sound behind him, Chang Xi knew what he had without looking back, and felt relieved.
When Chang Xi's trembling hand finally touched the golden arch, it was unknown how long it had been. The terrifying pressure that was covering the top disappeared, and the golden array diagram above his head seemed to be no longer as dazzling as before. A deep feeling of fatigue surged in his body. After this tempering, it seemed that he was cheering. The inadvertent stretch of his limbs could feel that the more condensed and stronger force was slowly awakened in his body than before. After complete absorption and digestion, his strength would definitely reach a higher level.
Chang Xi turned his head, but it was obvious that Wen Yu and the other two were still carrying huge forces and moving forward slowly. It turned out that the trial on the first level of Kuixing Pavilion was not a one-person attaining enlightenment. So according to his own guess, it should be that the strength that everyone bears is different, and it should be the limit that they can bear.
Just as Chang Xi thought of this, a shocking suction suddenly burst out from the golden arch behind him. The unexpectedly caught Chang Xi was immediately sucked into the arch like food and disappeared. The golden array pattern hanging high above the heads of the three people dimmed in an instant, and the terrifying pressure spread out, and the entire space fell into darkness again.
The wooden ladder that was circling up was invisible to the end, and when I held the handrail and looked up at the top, it was dark.
Seeing this scene, Chang Xi couldn't help but remember the fact that Wen Yu had mentioned before that the illusion in Kuixing Pavilion is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Now it seems that this is true.
There was no light source around the wooden ladder, but it was not so dark around me. Chang Xi could see clearly what was within three feet of the distance. If it was farther away, it would be impossible to see it clearly. You need to walk in to see it clearly.
The "Yiya" sound from the load-bearing of the wooden boards echoed in this quiet dark space. What's strange is that the position of the "Yiya" sound of the wooden boards that kept ringing did not seem to have changed, and kept ringing in the same place.
Chang Xi walked along the winding wooden ladder for unknown periods. It seemed like a quarter of an hour, and another hour passed. The changes and passage of time seemed to be unreasonable. The exhausted body, which was originally on the first floor, gradually recovered as before, and even became stronger under the sharpening of such huge force. Chang Xi, full of doubt, simply threw away many confusions and took steps under his feet and made great strides.
Instead of thinking about what you can't figure out, it's better to do your best to do what you can now.
Finally, Chang Xi, who had been concentrating on his feet, stopped, raised his head and looked forward, and a hint of joy surged in his eyes.
In front of him was a bronze door full of rust marks.
Chang Xi stroked his hands on the bronze door, and it was cold. He touched the bronze door carefully but did not find any such mechanical switch or keyhole slot. At that moment, the Dantian cyclone and the sea of blood in his chest were together, and his arms were nearly 500 kilograms in size, which opened a gap to the extremely heavy bronze door.
When the bronze door was completely opened, Chang Xi's eyes were a small and somewhat shabby stone chamber. There was also the same bronze door opposite the stone chamber. A torch that was burning and hanging on the wall illuminated a petite and weak figure in the stone chamber.
Chang Xi was shocked when he saw the delicate figure. Isn’t this Xin Tong?
Xin Tong was frightened when she heard the sound of the bronze gate opening behind her. She turned around and shook her back against the wall. Until she saw clearly that it was Chang Xi, her face was so sobbing that she was extremely surprised. She lifted up the skirt and thrust into Chang Xi's arms like a slutty swallow returning to the nest.
Chang Xi wanted to push Xin Tong away, but now the hand pressed on Xin Tong's arm was reluctant to break free. The milky yarn that was tightly attached to her delicate body could not hide the warmth transmitted between her palms, and the round and straight breasts were pressed against Chang Xi's strong chest. The beautiful woman's pretty face was flushed, and the faint fragrance of the virgin lingering in the room was tempting, and she couldn't suppress her gradually heavy breath.
"Xin Tong, have you passed the first level? Where are Wen Yu and the others?" Chang Xi bit his tongue suddenly, and the faint bloody smell echoed in his mouth. With the pain, he finally pulled the mind that was almost leaving the body back into his body. He inadvertently spread the tender white lotus arms that Xin Tong had wrapped around his waist and hugged him.
"Brother Wen Yu and Brother Zhang Yuan insisted on walking to the golden arch and walked up the roving wooden ladder after you. It took me a lot of time to barely hold on to it. As soon as I stepped into the arch, I got into this stone chamber. It had been locked up for nearly an hour! Brother Chang Xi, don't you care about other people's things?"
Xin Tong noticed Chang Xi's movements without traces on her hands, and the originally happy expression on her face suddenly became aggrieved. Tears rolled in her beautiful eyes, and her hands were smearing on her face in a mess. If other male disciples looked at this scene, they would be half broken.
Putting aside the identity of Qingyun Mountain disciples, after all, Xin Tong is just a 16-year-old young girl, who has already reached the age of falling in love. From Xin Tong's inadvertent moves and attitudes before, it can be seen that Chang Xi has gradually developed feelings for her in her heart without realizing it.
Chang Xi is not ignorant of the relationship between men and women. But at this moment, his mind has never been clear. Some promises he made, some blood hatred that he can't forget, and that night that he will never forget in his life are deeply engraved on the two tombstones on the cliff outside Huizhou City. Each stroke is heart-wrenching regret!
Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Chang Xi walked to Xin Tong, reached out and gently touched Xin Tong's head as before, and squatted down. Xin Tong, who was crying like a cat, couldn't help but stop. Looking at Chang Xi squatting in front of him, he twitched his delicate nose, his beautiful eyes full of curiosity and confusion.
"I hide some things in my heart and can't say them out. The more things I carry, the less courage I will be. I can no longer withstand the pain of losing my relatives and friends, and I really never want to bear those. On the road to immortal cultivation, I, Chang Xi, is now just an ant in the Qi Refining Realm and is not qualified to protect the people around me. Especially those who trust me or... those who like me. When I am strong enough, when I can take off the things I have been carrying, when I am qualified to protect everything around me, would I like Brother Chang Xi again?"
Chang Xi raised his head and smiled and stretched out his little finger at Xin Tong.
Xin Tong was stunned, burst into tears and smiled, and stretched out her green little finger and shook it and said softly: "Hook and hang it on, and will not change for a hundred years!"
As soon as Xin Tong finished speaking, the bronze door on the other side slowly opened with a sound of vibration, and inside was a cyclone wooden ladder leading to the third floor.
"Brother Chang Xi, you go up first. I need to take a rest, so don't worry about me." Seeing the bronze door open, Xin Tong let go of his hooked little finger and gave Chang Xi a cheerful thumb.
"Is this second level broken by the state of mind?" Chang Xi thought to himself. "Then I will go up to the third floor first, I will wait for you on it, come on!" Chang Xi, who had already guessed in his heart, was not pretentious, waved to Xin Tong and stepped onto the wooden ladder leading to the third floor.
As Chang Xi climbed up the stairs, the bronze door began to slowly close. Xin Tong, who was still covered with tears on his face, stood in the shadow of the fire, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.
Just as the bronze door was about to close, a gust of cold wind blew over the torch. Under the floating firelight, the smile that was originally full of intimacy in Xin Tong's eyes had long disappeared, replaced by a coldness without any emotion. A faint golden light passing through the depths of her eyes, and a meaningful curve was raised on the corner of her mouth.
