Chapter 274: The secret realm of Yunshui, the gap between geniuses
Hearing Lu Qing's words, everyone looked up the ladder.
Looking at Bai Bufan and others above, they have completely changed their appearance.
The calm and carefree look before was almost completely gone.
Everyone's face was red, panting, and dripping with sweat. They stood on it with their hands on their knees.
Obviously, they have almost reached their limit.
However, there was finally a gap on the stairs where several people were standing.
Among them, Bai Bufan and Situ Jin stood at the highest point together.
The rest of the people are all behind them, but the difference is not much, only third or fourth level.
The last person to fall was Qin Yunting of the Xuanxin Sect.
As Lin Zhirui said, he was good at light martial arts, but he was at a disadvantage when climbing the ladder.
“Bai Bufan and Situ Jin are now at level 165!”
Wei Zian counted quickly and shouted softly.
“Seeing that they have reached their limit, it turns out that their potential is not as good as yours, Sir Zhirui.”
Ma Gu was a little surprised.
This method of measuring potential by climbing the ladder seems quite reliable.
…
“Brother Bai, do you still have the strength to go up?”
On the ladder to heaven, Situ Jin’s face was covered with sweat and he said to Bai Bufan.
The muscles on his body were trembling, which was a sign that his Vajra Body Kung Fu was reaching its limit.
“Then it depends on whether you still have some energy left, Brother Situ.”
Bai Bufan's expression was also not relaxed. His face, which was originally as white as jade, was now red, and even his eyes were bloodshot.
Obviously, his endurance has reached its limit.
But despite this, he still refused to show weakness in the face of Situ Jin's words.
"I do still have a little bit of energy left. If I force the climb, I can go up one or two more steps."
Situ Jin’s words made Bai Bufan’s expression change slightly.
Because he had truly reached the limit and had no more strength to climb up.
But what Situ Jin said immediately afterwards surprised him.
“What if we are tied in this competition?”
“You are actually willing to tie the knot?”
Bai Bufan was stunned and looked at Situ Jin in disbelief.
Over the years, Situ Jin has always had to compete with him and confront him **** for tat.
Now in full view of everyone, a great opportunity to win against him is right in front of him, but he is actually willing to give up?
“Yes, I can indeed use the Vajra Body Kung Fu and forcefully climb one or two steps.
But in that case, I will definitely be counterattacked by the pressure of the heavenly ladder, which will damage the foundation of my physical body and delay my breakthrough to the innate realm again.
We are already lagging behind those two, and I don’t want the gap to be widened by them just for the sake of a momentary dispute. "
Bai Bufan was silent.
He naturally knew who the two people Situ Jin was talking about were.
To be honest, among the previous ten heroes, he didn't think very highly of those two.
After all, he is from the Tianji Sect and is good at calculations. His own strength should be better than theirs.
The other one is even worse. He is just a descendant of a declining sect. He has limited resources and his cultivation speed cannot match them.
Hence, his eyes have always been on Situ Jin, who had similar backgrounds to him.
Who would have thought that they were competing and competing, but in the end it was the two most inconspicuous people who took the lead in breaking through.
Thinking of this, Bai Bufan suddenly felt a sense of boredom.
“You are right, it is not worth risking your career in martial arts just for our little quarrel.
Our focus should be on breaking through to the innate realm as soon as possible, rather than on these trivial matters now.
Brother Situ, you won this competition. "
Bai Bufan said seriously.
Situ Jin was stunned for a moment, just when Bai Bufan was about to admit defeat.
Suddenly, a chuckle came from the sky.
“Are these the so-called Zhongzhou Ten Heroes?
You can achieve this by climbing a ladder to heaven. Sure enough, Master is right. Warriors in the outside world generally have weak foundations. "
This sound is not loud, but it can travel for several miles, allowing everyone nearby to hear it very clearly.
The sarcasm and ridicule in it immediately caused a commotion.
“Who is such a loud person?”
“How dare you mock the ten heroes of Zhongzhou in front of their faces? What’s your background?”
“Is there something fun to watch again?”
People looked in the direction of the sound.
Then the next moment, everyone’s mouths couldn’t help but grow bigger.
Because they saw seven or eight giant birds floating in the sky, with people standing on their backs.
The giant bird's wings were spread out and were more than ten meters long. Every time it flapped its wings, a huge sound of wind could be heard.
Bai Bufan and the others were originally angered by the sarcastic tone in the previous voice.
But when they saw this scene, they were also stunned on the spot, but the anger in their hearts could no longer be expressed.
As for Lu Qing and others, let alone them.
They who came out of a remote place had never seen such a battle before.
Suddenly his eyes widened with surprise on his face.
"It's them!"
Lin Zhirui's face also changed drastically and he exclaimed.
“Sir Zhirui, do you know them?” Lu Qing asked curiously.
“I don’t know them, but I recognize their origins.”
Lin Zhirui stared at the sky closely and said slowly.
“Wearing robes with patterns of clouds and water, they can control divine birds and fly. They are people from the Clouds and Waters Secret Realm, one of the four secret places!”
“Four secret places?”
Lu Qing's heart stirred. He remembered that when he fought against Yan Canghai's direct disciple, the other party once thought that he was a disciple who came out of a secret place to practice.
Later, he also paid attention to this information.
The result is that the four secret places are four very mysterious places, and no one knows where they are.
But every time a descendant from the secret land appears and walks around the world, it will definitely cause countless waves.
It is said that even the establishment of the Holy Mountain was only able to be recognized by the major sects in the world with the tacit support of the four secret places.
Always, these are four very mysterious and powerful forces.
I didn’t expect that it would suddenly appear here.
Out of curiosity, Lu Qing immediately activated his superpower and looked up to the sky.
“This kind of formation and costumes are from the Yunshui Secret Realm?!”
High up in the holy city, those figures with powerful auras were shocked when they saw the scene in the sky.
“It’s unmistakable, that cloud and water pattern is the symbol of the cloud and water secret realm.”
"With the changes in the world and the revival of spiritual energy, can't even the four secret realms be restrained?" "The people from the Yunshui Secret Realm have arrived, and the people from the other three secret realms must not be far away."
“What do you mean, should we go up to greet him?”
"Don't be impatient, let's wait and see what the situation is. Besides, even if we want to greet them, it won't be our turn yet."
…
While these powerful figures were discussing, a young man in brocade clothes was riding on the back of a flying bird.
Suddenly he said to Bai Bufan and others on the ladder: "Why, judging from your looks, you still seem to be unconvinced by my previous evaluation?"
Everyone could hear that it was this voice that had made the sarcastic remarks earlier.
“You are joking, sir, we have no objection.”
Bai Bufan and others failed to recognize the person’s identity.
But to be able to tame so many magical birds, it must be some incredible force.
Based on some things they heard from the elders of the sect before, they could probably guess it.
These people are probably the people from the legendary secret place.
How dare there be anger.
"Really, but I saw the look in your eyes just now, and I just felt very dissatisfied." The young man in brocade clothes laughed, "Well, I don't want you to see it, you still don't know what it means to have people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world."
Having said that, the young man in brocade clothes took the reins in his hand, and the huge bird under his feet suddenly let out a long chirping sound, flapped its wings, stirred up a gust of wind, and swooped down the mountain.
His ferocious momentum frightened the warriors gathered at the foot of the mountain, and they all screamed and retreated to both sides.
—
Fortunately, the young man in brocade didn't mean to hurt anyone. He just jumped up and landed on the ladder when the bird was close to the ground.
The huge flying bird suddenly flapped its wings, stirring up the airflow, and at the same time, its body also rose sharply, returning to the sky again.
As for the young man, when he fell down the ladder, he didn't stop at all.
As soon as he stepped on his feet, his body was lifted up in the air, like an arrow from a string, rushing upwards.
When he landed on the white jade stairs again, the crowd below couldn't help but let out a burst of surprise.
Because of this leap, he actually jumped over twenty steps, a full height of seven to eight feet.
Compared with Bai Bufan's initial jump, it was almost twice as high!
That's not all. After the young man in brocade landed on the white jade stairs, he didn't even pause. With a tap of his foot, he jumped up again.
It was as if the pressure on the ladder did not exist for him at all.
This second leap, although the height of the young man in Jinyi was not as high as the first time, it was still six or seven feet high.
Then when his body landed on the white jade stairs again, he stepped on it and his body suddenly rose again.
In this way, the young man in brocade clothes was like the vigorous ape on the cliff, continuously and rapidly jumping up and down the ladder.
Soon, they arrived at where Bai Bufan and others were.
The young man in brocade didn't stop at all. He just showed a contemptuous smile, passed them by, and continued to jump up.
But Bai Bufan and the others could no longer care about being angry. They just looked at the young man in gold in surprise and easily passed them and went up.
The crowd at the foot of the mountain was also in silence at this time.
They all looked at the young man in shock as he climbed up at a speed that could be said to be rapid even though it was much slower than at the beginning.
One hundred and seventy, one hundred and eighty, one hundred and ninety…
Even though he surpassed Bai Bufan and others, the young man in Jinyi was still able to cross several stairs with every step.
Everyone watched helplessly as he approached the legendary location step by step.
Finally, when the body of the young man in brocade had steadily landed on the 200th step, his figure was still very stable and his expression was calm.
The crowd below boiled with a bang.
“Level 200, he actually reached the 200th level!”
“Isn’t it rumored that Hou Tian Realm warriors can only reach the 199th level at most? Going higher is the realm of Xiantian Realm. Is it possible that this person is a strong Xiantian Realm?”
“Impossible, I didn’t feel the unique connotation of Xiantian Realm from him.”
“The record for Houtian realm warriors to climb the ladder to heaven was set by ‘Emperor Yu’ more than a thousand years ago. I didn’t expect it to be broken today!”
“Where did this person come from, to be even more talented than the ‘Emperor Yu’ from a thousand years ago?”
…
At a high place in the holy city, those figures with powerful auras were also shocked at this time.
“You’ve actually reached level 200, so this young man is still in the acquired realm, right?”
"That's inevitable. Otherwise, if he was so loud and sarcastic about Bai Bufan and others, if he were in the Xiantian realm, wouldn't it be like using the big to bully the small and slapping himself in the face?"
“As expected of a descendant of the secret land, even the pressure of the 200th level, even the first innate realm that has just been broken through, may not be able to be stably withstood, but this young man actually climbed up without changing his expression.
From the looks of it, he seems to be able to move up a lot.
Is it possible that he can still use his body in the future heaven realm to fight against the innate realm? "
“It’s not strange for an acquired body to fight in the innate realm. It’s not like people who came out of the four secret lands have never done it before.”
“The secret inheritance is indeed very different from us, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to secretly control this world for so long.”
"In the past, there were only one or two people in the secret land, even if they were born and experienced. This time, so many people came out of the Yunshui Secret Realm, and they were so high-profile. It seems that the world is really going to change."
…
“It’s actually so easy to reach level 200.”
On the other side, Lin Zhirui also looked at the figure on the ladder with some confusion.
As someone who has climbed the ladder more than once, he naturally knows how strong the pressure on the ladder is.
Especially after reaching level 150, the pressure is almost reaching the limit of a martial arts master.
Even he was struggling at first, climbing up bit by bit, and finally reached the one hundred and seventy-first position.
He had never thought that among the warriors of the day after tomorrow, there could be someone who could climb the ladder of heaven so easily, and even reach the 200th level in one fell swoop.
That's right, even though he was so far away, Li Zhirui couldn't sense the aura of the young man in brocade clothes.
But he can be sure that the other party must be a warrior from the day after tomorrow.
The practitioners of the Yunshui Secret Realm are notoriously arrogant.
They will never bother to bully the small ones.
But precisely because he understood this, Li Zhirui felt an even greater impact.
“Sir Zhirui, it seems that your information is wrong. There are still Houtian realm warriors who can reach the 200th level.
It is indeed a legendary secret realm, and anyone who comes out is so powerful. "
Lu Qing said with admiration on his face.
“Little friend Lu Qing, why are you still so calm?”
Looking at the admiration on Lu Qing's face, Lin Zhirui suddenly asked.
“Huh?” Lu Qing looked over in confusion.
"Seeing such a huge gap, don't you feel a little desperate?" Lin Zhirui said.
"Such a big gap, are you talking about this expert from the Yunshui Secret Realm?"
Lu Qing saw the confusion on Lin Zhirui's face, suddenly understood what he meant, and smiled softly.
“Your Excellency Zhirui, people’s qualifications and circumstances are different. Naturally, there are good people and bad people, fast people and slow people on the path of spiritual practice.
Once we have embarked on this path, we cannot give up on cultivation just because our qualifications are worse than others, right?
In this case, why should we bother ourselves and always compare ourselves with others.
As practitioners, we only need to compare ourselves with ourselves.
As long as the self today is stronger than the self yesterday, it means that our practice has not been in vain.
With perseverance, even if we cannot catch up with those peerless geniuses for a while, I believe that one day in the future, we will still have the opportunity to meet us.
As the saying goes, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement as heaven moves in a healthy direction. I wonder if Mr. Zhirui thinks this makes sense? "
After hearing what Lu Qing said, Lin Zhirui was suddenly shocked.
