There is a slight problem with the numbers in the chapter titles, I hope you can forgive me.

Xiao Ling walked underground along the black stone steps. Every time he walked down one more step, the gravity he endured doubled as compared to the previous step. By the fifth step, it was already the limit of what his physical strength could bear, and he had to use his internal strength to overcome it.

Only with this gravity can we continue to move downward.

All the way to Level 22, the memories flashed through his mind, including his father's severe scolding and punishment when he was lazy during practice, his mother's gentle comfort and encouragement when he was injured during practice and was beaten in a competition, and Bai Ran and Bai Ran.

The dragon girl was enjoying the beauty of chasing and playing carefree on the mountain. She was proud when she started competing with her peers from other families to compete with the martial arts prodigy who was praised as a once-in-a-millennium person. She was also busy when she started to enter the school and learn to practice martial arts...

As he went deeper and deeper into the ground, the adsorption force on his feet and the gravity on his body became stronger and stronger. He stayed on each black stone step for longer and longer, and the memories that returned to his mind became more and more intense.

clear.

When he reached level 18, what he remembered was that on his eighteenth birthday, his father handed the "Secret of Immortality" to him, and at the same time put the burden of the family on his shoulders. From then on, he began to study "The Secret of Immortality"

He began to say goodbye to his family, Bai Ran and Long Nu, and left his hometown to go to Lingzhou. He began his university career and began to study "The Secret of Immortality" with the two elders of Baicaotang.

After that, every detail of the four years of college was replayed in his mind one by one. By the 22nd level, his memory sketches began to become more colorful. The beginning and end of his internship, submitting resumes everywhere and hitting walls.

The acquaintance and love with beauties such as Wen Wenwen, and every moment spent with all the beauties flashed through his mind like the playback of highlights from a movie.

At this point, the gravity he was bearing required all the strength he had before coming to Kunlun to be able to withstand it. As for the jade slip in his hand, the light it emitted became stronger and stronger along the way, and the summons he received became stronger and stronger.

The shaking became more and more intense, and at the twenty-second level, it had broken free from his hand and floated freely into the air, floating in front of him.

What will he see when he steps onto the twenty-third level? Is it his future? He is looking forward to it.

This step is difficult and heavy. He has to lift his feet, the adsorption force is more than a thousand pounds, and he has to move forward, and the gravity is tens of thousands of pounds. He has to arouse the skills he gained after coming to Kunlun to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth before he can take this step.

, step onto the twenty-third black stone steps.

As soon as the soles of his feet came into contact with the black stone steps, his body, heart, and spirit were shocked at the same time. What flashed through his mind was not his future, but another period of time, another chapter of history.

The protagonist in the memory picture took a hundred elite soldiers, one deputy and four right-hand assistants across the prosperous Central Plains and the desolate desert, and came to a distant and unfamiliar country to complete an arduous mission.

This strange and desolate country is called Dawan.

The king of Dayuan admired his versatility in both civil and military affairs and tempted him with high official positions and generous salaries, but he was indifferent because he only had one court in his heart, that is, the Han Dynasty, and had only one mission, which was to learn how to raise and tame horses.

The King of Dayuan discussed the opportunity of introducing sweat-blooded horses to the Central Plains, and tried every means to obtain half of the longevity medicine prescription left by Xu Fu.

This task was long-term and arduous, and the days flowed peacefully like water. Until one day, a little girl came to the post house, and the days began to become no longer peaceful.

The little girl liked to watch him dance with his sword. She would sit quietly in the corner and watch him for half an hour. He ignored her at the time, but since then she has come to watch him dance every day and has always seen him sheathing his sword, but she only stayed away from him.

Looking from a distance, there was nothing approaching to disturb him.

It wasn't until the fifth day that he realized that she was the most beloved little princess of King Dayuan. King Dayuan named her Snow Lotus after a rare treasure in Tianshan Mountain.

After knowing her identity, he was even more afraid to let her get close, but Xuelian still came to watch him dance every day. Sometimes even if he didn't dance, she would be there, rain or shine, and she would always just watch from a distance.

It seems that a tacit understanding has been formed. At that time every morning, he dances with his sword in the yard, and she watches from a distance.

Later, Xuelian finally couldn't resist the urge to get close to him and learn swordsmanship from him, so she asked King Dayuan to teach her how to dance the sword. King Dayuan loved her extremely much and responded to her requests, and the two had real interactions.

Start here.

Although he knew not to get too close to her, even though he knew not to have any entanglements with her, no matter how much he built up his defenses against her, love could not be blocked by a mere wall, and emotions could not be controlled by humans.

Although ice is strong, it will melt when exposed to fire, not to mention the human heart? She is innocent and tender as water, without any warning signs, she unknowingly breaks through his defenses and walks into his heart.

From then on, he danced with the sword, while she watched, and she danced with the sword, while he gave instructions. The days were filled with affection and made others envious.

Until one day, by chance, Xuelian knew his motivation and purpose of coming to Dawan, and his originally planned countermeasures went sideways. She persuaded him to stay in Dawan and stay with her for the rest of his life, but he refused because he wanted to be loyal to the Han Dynasty.

; She persuaded him to give up looking for a prescription, but he refused because he was loyal to the emperor's orders. Helplessly, after much thought and hesitation, she decided to choose the former between love and loyalty, and she chose to help him.

He spied on the King of Dayuan more than once, and she asked the King of Dayuan about the prescription more than once, which finally aroused the King of Dayuan's suspicion, so he sent someone to investigate secretly and found out the truth. At that time, he was really furious and raised eighteen

baby of the year

The daughter, in the end, actually helped outsiders and killed her own father. The King of Dayuan almost ordered that all the people from the Han Dynasty be annihilated in the post house. However, after listening to the advice of his close associates, he used Xuelian to deal with them.

The general used coercion and inducement to force him to

He handed over the "Secret of Immortality" and forced him to serve Dawan, but he refused one by one. In the end, he could only settle for the next best thing and exchange a snow lotus with the general for an elixir of immortality. The general thought at that time, one

The elixir of life can be exchanged for snow lotus, it’s worth it, and

He could also take this opportunity to write down part of King Dayuan's prescription and complete the prescription chapter of "The Secret of Immortality", and he also made a profit. So, he agreed. The next year and a half were filled with countless attempts and attempts.

Fail, try and fail, fail and try again and again.

Was the twenty-fourth level just that poignant and moving dream? What happened after that? How could their remains be in this underground heavenly palace? What is the origin of this underground heavenly palace?

The more Xiao Ling thought about it, the more curious she became. The more she thought about it, the more she could no longer suppress the desire for the unknown in her heart. She raised her power to 90%, raised her feet, leaned forward, and walked towards the twenty-fourth black stone step.

As soon as the soles of his feet came into contact with the black stone steps, an extremely powerful adsorption force and an unprecedented heaviness forced him to increase his strength to 100% before he could barely stand firm, but his body was shaking non-stop, and he felt faint and faint.

The feeling of suffocation came over my face and came fiercely.

Obviously, this is the limit of what his ability can bear, but the black stone steps ahead are still bottomless. From this point of view, he wants to know what he will see after walking through the black stone steps, and what kind of door lock the jade slip will unlock.

Doesn’t the key become a luxury?

What he saw was a post house surrounded by a large army. Four elephants and four generals were fighting bloody battles. A hundred elite soldiers marched forward bravely, desperately protecting the generals and breaking out of the heavy siege and rushing out of the royal city.

In this battle, all four elites of the Sixiang family died heroically, and nearly half of a hundred elite soldiers were lost before they could protect the general and rush out of the royal city. It was not without tragedy.

The general lost his troops and walked into the desert with his remaining men. There were people waiting for him there.

A woman dressed in white as snow and with a heart as white as white has been waiting for him in front. Her smile is as beautiful as a blooming snow lotus, and she is absolutely beautiful.

Although he could meet her again in the desert, the soldiers were constantly chasing her. On the way back to Yumen Pass, he encountered constant sieges and suppressions. One by one, the elite soldiers around him stayed in the desert forever.

He feels guilty and blames himself. He urges her to return to her palace and to her father. She was once so favored and will definitely be forgiven.

She smiled and said to him, "We cannot live in the same quilt, and we must die in the same hole. We don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but we want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same body."

With a wife like this, there is no regret that she cannot grow old while holding her son's hand. On the way back to Yumen Pass with her, the elite soldiers around him fell one after another. Before reaching Yumen Pass, only he and her were left.

.

Even though he changed his route, he was still surrounded by heavy troops. He rushed back and forth among thousands of troops, sweating and bleeding, while she hid in a hidden place, feeling inexplicably moved and heartbroken.

His intention was just to protect her from any harm and fulfill the promise he made to her, but unfortunately, God did not follow his wishes. She was eventually discovered.

The Dawan soldiers received orders to bring the little princess back to the palace unscathed. Of course, they did not dare to hurt her unless they had to. However, her heart was already tied to one person, and she only wanted to follow her to the end of the world or the ends of the earth.

How could she be willing to go back to that cold, ruthless place full of conspiracy and exploitation? She fought hard, and he rescued her desperately, and the blood dyed the yellow sand red.

This man was so terrifying that wherever he went, Dawan soldiers fell down one after another, and they had no choice but to use the sharpest weapons on the battlefield.

In the dense rain of arrows, she stood in front of him regardless of her own safety, and was pierced by thousands of arrows. His eyes and the whole world were dyed red with blood. He wailed desperately: "No!" She smiled palely at him and said to him

After saying a few words, I showed him the sword dance for the last time, and that time was also the best time.

At the moment when the man roared in despair, a voice that shocked the depths of his heart and soul rang out from Xiao Ling's heart. He was sweating profusely, clenched his fists, opened his mouth, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he didn't feel any discomfort. The original feeling of suffocation and fainting also disappeared. The true energy in his body was filled with energy and his spirit was lifted.

Xiao Ling laughed with joy. The gravity of this stone step was already the limit of what his current skills could bear, and the tragic scene just now greatly impacted his spirit and soul. Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise, and his "Taoism"

As a result, he achieved a breakthrough in the "Nine Tribulations", and the second level of Yaquan Tribulations was actually completed.

His current innate true energy, skill cultivation, and spiritual cultivation have all reached a higher level than before. He couldn't help but be ecstatic. Although this weird black stone step is difficult to walk, it really does nothing to help him improve his strength.

Guess, is this Xuanwu?

What's the purpose of asking yourself to come down? At this speed of training, not only will he be confident in dealing with Yin Tianqiu, but by the end of the year, he will also be able to go back confidently and compete with that heartless guy who blamed him for perfection.

You can really knock him down.

With this breakthrough, the jade slip in front of him shone brighter. The old monster was right, the connection between him and the jade slip really strengthened as his skill increased.

Looking at the twenty-fifth step, Xiao Ling hesitated: The twenty-fourth step was already his limit just now. Now that he has broken through, do you want to try the next step? Although it is dangerous, there is no breakthrough without taking risks.

?I still don’t know what Xuelian said before she died, let alone why they are in this underground palace. Maybe there will be an answer at the next level. This answer will be of great help in solving the doubts in my heart.

ah.

After some thought, he shouted loudly, raised his Xiantian Qi to the limit, and raised his Taoist Nine Tribulations to the second level of skill. He took this extremely heavy step and stepped onto the twenty-fifth step.

An extremely powerful impact force and an extremely heavy adsorption force hit his weak body like a raging sea wave at the same time. Before he had time to see the picture that appeared in his mind, these two forces had already made his body fall backwards.
Chapter completed!
