Chapter 288: Physical Stairs
Behind the light gate was a staircase made of white light, and he took the lead and walked inside.
Zhou Lingsha immediately shouted: "Brother, let us take the lead."
"You guys follow me." Zhou An smiled, was the first to walk into the light gate, walked up the stairs, and everyone else followed in.
Zhou Ling and others walked through the door, but when Zhou Lingsha walked through, her forehead hit the door directly and she was blocked by an invisible wall.
She rubbed her forehead in pain, glared angrily, and touched the front, and found that there really was an invisible wall.
Zhou An transmitted the message: "It seems that there are indeed restrictions here. Lingsha, you wait outside."
"Oh, hum." Zhou Lingsha was unhappy, but had no choice but to greet Emperor Kaiyuan.
The people who can enter are the same as Xuannv's calculations. Only Zhou Ling, You Yunzhi, Xiao Ruying, Jin Xuan, Shi Heshang, Gongsun Haoyun, and Chen Wenwen can enter this door.
But after they stepped onto the first step, they felt the gravity increasing, and the gravity increased with each step they took.
Trying to use your true Qi or immortal energy to resist, you'll find that as you step onto the stairs, the power in your body has been sealed, and the only thing you can rely on is your body.
Everyone knew that this might be a test from Emperor Kaiyuan, so they all forced themselves to move forward.
Apart from practicing swordsmanship sometimes, Chen Wenwen never did any physical exercise. After walking up the fifth step, she could no longer lift her feet. After holding on for a while, she knelt on all fours.
At this time, she was teleported away by white light, and it was unknown whether she was teleported away.
Gongsun Haoyun, who was closest to him, turned around and took a look, then looked at the people in front of him. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and continued to walk upwards.
He was actually the same, basically only cultivating the law and not the body. He relied on his unyielding will to walk two more steps, but he could not hold on and knelt. He was teleported away by a knife of white light.
Jin Xuan was training at the Goddess Peak and was required to refine his body. Unfortunately, his training time was not long. However, he was much better than Gongsun Haoyun and was teleported away only after reaching the 13th grid.
Monk Shi had been training his body all the time, and his physical strength was much higher than Jin Xuan's. He walked to the 33rd square before he could no longer hold on and sat down, and was teleported away.
Xiao Ruying is only slightly better than Monk Shi. Thanks to the reward from the Queen of Canglong and the merit and mysterious light that strengthened her body, she was able to reach your 36th grid.
When she was about to lose her balance, Zhou Ling turned around and said, "This should be a test left by Emperor Kaiyuan. Perhaps something behind it requires physical strength."
"This is my limit. I'm counting on you guys from now on." Xiao Ruying insisted. She could no longer stand and sat down before being teleported away by a white light.
You Yunzhi could no longer lift her feet after reaching 58. She and Zhou An practiced dual cultivation, and her body was constantly strengthened, so she could walk here. She nodded to Zhou Ling, then sat down and was teleported away.
When Zhou Ling reached the 72nd grid, he was unable to lift his feet. He tried to sit down several times, but he stood up by supporting his knees with his hands.
"Don't force yourself. This is not a test of willpower. Just give up if your body can't bear it. Otherwise, your bones will be crushed and your foundation will be damaged." Zhou An said.
Zhou Ling sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. You can only rely on yourself from now on."
"I'm not sending you away, otherwise Xuannv wouldn't have asked you to come here. There must be some special arrangements here." After Zhou An finished speaking, Zhou Ling nodded and sat down on the spot without forcing herself.
Watching Zhou Ling disappear, Zhou An looked at the bronze door in front of him and continued walking upwards.
There are a total of 81 steps here, which is a test for the physical body. However, for Zhou An, the gravity only makes him feel that his body has become heavier, which is far from the limit of his body's endurance. After all, the Six Paths Immortal Body is not just for show.
Perhaps even Emperor Kaiyuan had not imagined that such a heaven-defying physical body as the Six Paths Immortal Body would appear in the world.
When Zhou An walked to the bronze door, the gravity on his body disappeared instantly, and the seal on his immortal essence also disappeared.
There is a disc mechanism on the bronze door and two lines of words on the door frame. There is a surprise when you unlock the door. If you can't open it, use the imperial spirit. There is even a smiley face emoticon at the back.
Zhou An was shocked when he saw this, and a bold idea came to his mind: Could it be that Emperor Kaiyuan also came from Earth?
He looked down at the disc lock, and she could tell at a glance that it was the Nine Dragon Lock from Qi Men Dun Jia.
This thing is recorded in Qi Men Dun Jia, but what is recorded is the core technology. Depending on each person's understanding of Qi Men Dun Jia, the difficulty of cracking the Nine Dragon Lock is also different.
But no matter how things change, the core remains the same. As long as you understand the core, you can crack it no matter how it changes.
Zhou An looked at it carefully and found that the Nine Dragon Lock was not complete. He smiled proudly and said, "Emperor Kaiyuan did not learn the complete Qimen Dunjia."
He began to turn the nine dragons. After turning them nine times, the nine dragons on top swam, and the disc lock opened, ejecting a drawer with a yellow stone inside.
There was a piece of bronze next to it, with words engraved on it, "Guess what this is. I can only tell you that this is an incredible treasure. Whether you can use it depends on your ability."
Finally, he left behind a cunning smile.
Zhou An rolled his eyes. He really didn't know what this was, but he had a map of mountains, rivers, and the country. As long as he stored it in the system space, there would be a detailed introduction.
Nuwa Stone, which has the power of rebirth, is the last piece of five-color divine stone left by Nuwa, and is refined. It has Nuwa's divine power. A one-time consumable item.
"It's actually the Nuwa Stone! Emperor Kaiyuan has a lot of good things." Zhou An was surprised. Having this thing is like having an extra life.
With secret joy, he pushed open the bronze door. This thing was heavy enough. Without a strong body, even a celestial being would not be able to push open this bronze door.
Behind the gate is a palace built inside a cave. Part of the palace gate is outside, and the rest is inside the mountain wall.
In front of the gate is a large cave with coffins placed everywhere, on which are engraved talismans to suppress evil. When you walk in here, you can clearly feel the breath of evil spirits and the cold smell of corpses.
Most of the coffins were covered, a small number of coffin lids were pushed open, more than a dozen coffin lids were thrown on the ground, and four coffins were broken with corpses falling out.
These exposed skeletons resemble human figures, but they are definitely not human. One skeleton is even deformed and definitely not in human form, but the skeleton has not been damaged.
When you walk into this cave, the system will prompt you that you have signed in successfully and you will be rewarded with a perfect magic puppet.
The Demonic Puppet is a combat puppet from the Underworld, cultivated with the secret method of the Underworld. It can devour energy for its own use, and the Demonic Puppet will not be destroyed as long as the energy is exhausted.
Zhou An took a look at the sign-in reward and didn't think much about it. He made a seal with his hands, and a mysterious light of Haotian protecting his body appeared around him, and then he walked inside.
Walking past the open coffins, he saw mummies inside. They were definitely not normal humans. Some had their hands turned into claws, some had asymmetrical limbs, and some had heads that looked like monsters. They reminded him of the mutated monsters in movies on Earth.
He walked to the depths of the coffin group and waved his hand at the unopened coffin. The coffin lid was rolled up by the immortal energy and pulled open. The corpses inside were basically intact, just like human mutations, and almost all of them were different. It was obvious at first glance that they were not from the same race. It seemed that these were all human experimental subjects.
In a world of cultivating immortals, encountering such a thing made Zhou An feel it was unreasonable, but when he thought that such technology as that of the gods had come to the world of cultivating immortals, what else could not appear?
He walked towards the palace at the bottom. All the coffins here were pushed open by his immortal energy. He looked through all the corpses inside, looking for differences. Unfortunately, apart from their strange appearances, he found nothing.
When he was about to walk out of the group of coffins, suddenly all the coffins began to vibrate slightly. The sound was not loud, but hundreds of coffins vibrated at the same time, which looked terrifying.
Then gray smoke emerged from the coffin and floated to the ground. Soon the ground was covered with gray-white smoke, as if walking on clouds.
But the fog made people feel cold and gloomy, and they instinctively felt that a threat was coming.
