Jiang Yan walked in front, and Zhou Wen followed behind, moving up step by step. After passing the Xianyuan Stone, it was another long and boring hiking journey.

The two of them only occasionally drank some water and ate something, but basically never stopped. Even so, when they reached the hillside, it was already four days later.

In just four days, both of them lost several times, their eyes and cheeks were sunken, and they looked like they were skinny and bones.

Two handsome young men now look hunched, like little old men.

It's no wonder that they are almost exhausted every step. Their body is consumed too much, and they can't stop and rest and sleep. They can survive until now because their physique is extraordinary. If they change to an ordinary epic level, they may not be able to stand it even if they are not exhausted on the road to seeking immortality.

Looking up, there are still no end of the mountain peaks and stone steps. Looking down, there is clouds and mist, and nothing can be seen. In this ghost place where there is no sky or ground, they know that this is halfway up the mountain because the three words "Half-day Cliff" are carved on a large stone next to it.

"After half of the cliff, there is still half the road up, but it is more difficult than the road ahead. Can you still hold on? If you can't hold on, you can rest on the platform of the Bantian Cliff for a day, then turn around and go down the mountain, and you will no longer be affected by the taboos of seeking immortal mountain. However, after going up the platform of the Bantian Cliff, you can't continue climbing the mountain." Jiang Yan in front said.

"I have already arrived here, so I have to go up and take a look. It is impossible to give up halfway. I can still hold on and keep going." Zhou Wen said.

"After a long time, keep moving forward, you will see some things. No matter what you see, you must never speak or make a sound. Just shut up and walk forward, otherwise bad things will happen." Jiang Yan said again.

"I can't speak, I remember." Zhou Wen nodded slightly, but he was also a little confused.

These taboos in Qiuxian Mountain are not written anywhere. Jiang Yan must have tried these taboos, otherwise if they really took a step back and died, Zhou Wen did not believe that Jiang Yan would not have retreated without knowing them.

However, Jiang Yan didn't say anything, and Zhou Wen didn't ask, followed Jiang Yan and continued to walk forward.

The stone steps at the foot of the mountain are very narrow, but after a long time of cliff, the stone steps have become much wider, and two or three people are more than enough to walk side by side.

But now neither of them can speak. If they leave side by side, if they accidentally speak, it will be even worse. So the two of them still leave one after another, and no one says, like two mutes.

Every time Zhou Wen took a step, he felt his legs trembling. No matter how strong the Yuanqi technique and Yuanqi skills were, it was useless. Using external forces to strengthen the body and strength, the strange power would increase accordingly, and it would still put the body in a limit.

As he walked, Zhou Wen's eyes accidentally swept across the stone steps in front of him, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he almost started to scream.

If Jiang Yan hadn't reminded him in advance, he would have called out, because there was a corpse lying in the stone path above, and the corpse's clothes and appearance were exactly the same as Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen was suspicious, but he had no way to speak, so he could only continue to walk forward, looking at the corpses on the roadside as he walked. No matter how he looked, they were exactly the same as him, but the corpse fell on the stone steps and no longer had any breath.

"It must be the same as before, it's still an illusion." Zhou Wen stopped looking at the corpse and continued to walk up.

I walked for a while and walked around a mountain edge. I saw another corpse appearing on the stone steps ahead.

This time I saw it more clearly. It was Zhou Wen's body. What Zhou Wen felt unbearable was that the corpse that looked very much like him was not covered by clothes, with limbs wide open, and was nailed to the mountain wall by iron nails, looking extremely miserable.

"Everything is an illusion... everything is nothingness... I endure it..." Zhou Wen secretly reduced the fire to himself. Although he knew it was just an illusion, it still made people a little annoyed. The key is that the man looked too much like him, and even some of the marks and scars on his body were not bad at all.

Walking further up, Zhou Wen saw various ways of dying, some were hung to death, some were chopped in half by a knife, and all kinds of death were very miserable.

However, if you see this kind of thing too much, you won’t feel anything. As you walk along the way, you will see at least hundreds or thousands of ways of dying. It’s no longer surprising.

After walking for another seven or eight days, when the sun rose again, the two of them finally saw the top of the mountain. There was no building there, only a crooked tree of unknown species growing on the top of the mountain, with branches reaching outside the cliff.

A large blue cocoon hung above a main branch of the crooked tree. When you look closely, the cocoon did not touch the branch, but was suspended there out of thin air.

Under the neck tree next to him, there was a white beast lying, snow-white all over, with two horns on his head and a vertical eye on his forehead, but the vertical eye was closed, which should be Bai Ze as Jiang Yan guessed.

Zhou Wen and Jiang Yan walked to the top of the mountain. Bai Ze must have discovered them, but he ignored them at all and still lay there to rest, not caring them at all, and didn't even look at them.

Zhou Wen heard from Jiang Yan that the white strange beast would not attack them on his own initiative, which was also one of the main basis for him to judge that the white strange beast was Bai Ze.

Bai Ze is auspicious and kind auspicious beast. It is a kind of astronomy, geography, and the future. It is able to tell people about ghosts and gods in the heavens. Legend has it that it was entrusted by Huangdi and has drawn tens of thousands of ghosts and gods, allowing humans to distinguish ghosts and gods, so as to avoid misfortune. It is one of the ancient evil-killing beasts.

"Have you seen those strange corpses before?" Jiang Yan asked Zhou Wen.

"I saw it, all the corpses look the same as mine." Zhou Wen replied.

"How many are there in total?" Jiang Yan asked again.

"I don't remember that, so many, I didn't count them carefully, so there were more than a thousand." Zhou Wen paused, looked at Jiang Yan and asked, "What are you asking about this? Are those not illusions?"

Jiang Yan looked at Zhou Wen with a strange smile on his face: "It's more than a thousand, then you're really amazing."

"What does it mean?" Zhou Wen didn't understand what Jiang Yan meant.

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "It is said that it is the path from the mortal to the immortal, that is, the process of eliminating the mortal. Every illusion of the corpse you see is the sin you have committed before. Only by cutting off the sin you have committed can you not be erased by the heavenly tribulation when you become an immortal. You see more than a thousand corpses, that is, you have committed thousands of death sentences."
