Chapter 114 Poseidon? The God who controls time!
As she climbed higher, Ning Ruoxi could even clearly hear the squeaking sound of the bones in her body.
"Master..." Ning Ruoxi's eyes were dazed for a moment, and she vaguely saw Lin Shuang's figure in front of her.
Under this tremendous pressure, a black crescent symbol appeared as a mark between Ning Ruoxi's eyebrows. Ning Ruoxi's body appeared to be filled with ice, which helped her to withstand the pressure on the stairs.
Ning Ruoxi took a deep breath. Although she didn't know why this black crescent rune could summon the way of ice, she really didn't have time to think about it right now.
She had to concentrate on climbing the stairs; if she couldn't handle the pressure, she would most likely fall down.
When she climbed to the 2,500th floor, Ning Ruoxi's eyes were already filled with blood. She could no longer open her eyes. Her vision was blurred by the blood and she couldn't raise her hand to wipe her eyes.
Because she has more blood on her hands...
And beside Ning Ruoxi, there were various avenues entrenched to help her resist the pressure on the stairs.
In addition to the Taiyin Way, ways like the divine calculation Way, the cause and effect Way, the ruthless Way, the devil Way... all appeared.
These were the avenues that had once appeared on the roads within Qinglong Academy, and were later absorbed by the black crescent rune.
…….
"There are only five hundred floors left. What should I do?" Ning Ruoxi could feel that the avenues around her had reached their limits. If she continued to climb, she would probably die.
But she had no backup plan to face the pressure on this step again.
"Perhaps I should try to comprehend other great ways..."
Since these avenues can withstand the pressure on the stairs, as long as I comprehend new avenues, I may be able to continue climbing.
Ning Ruoxi recalled the great ways she had come into contact with and quickly locked onto the path of the sword.
"The Dao of the Sword is the same as the Dao of the Knife. Both require the help of external objects. However, when the Dao of the Knife is cultivated to the highest level, one can use one's fingers as swords. The same is true for the Dao of the Sword."
"A knife is different from a sword. A knife is more about brute force, but a knife also has a sword spirit and sword intent."
"The sword is the king of all weapons, and the knife is the commander of all weapons..."
Without asking for help from the realm of Dao Transformation, Ning Ruoxi's enlightenment seemed very difficult. If it were someone else, they would have probably lost their composure long ago.
"The unity of essence, energy and spirit... No, those who practice sword and knife cultivation do not just transform their fingers into swords, but they transform themselves into swords and vice versa. The essence of all Tao is ultimately the self that becomes stronger!"
Not only the sword path, but also the avenue surrounding Ning Ruoxi burst out with a strong aura to help Ning Ruoxi withstand the pressure on the stairs.
…….
"There are only a hundred floors left..." Ning Ruoxi clearly remembered how many steps she had climbed, but the avenue was no longer able to withstand the stronger pressure.
All avenues have reached their limits.
Ning Ruoxi wanted to use the same trick again to comprehend a new avenue, but she really didn't know much about other avenues.
"We can't delay any longer..." The blood on Ning Ruoxi's body had dried up, and she could barely see the surrounding scenery. There was a layer of white mist floating around, and they were almost at the top of the mountain.
The temperature of the white mist was very low, and Ning Ruoxi could even feel the chill in it. If she stopped here, her body would probably not be able to bear it.
"Among the many great ways, there is one that has never appeared until now... Taiyin Holy Body, Taiyin Dao. If I fall here, what use will your great way be!"
"Why don't you come out yet!" Ning Ruoxi said gritting her teeth, and struggled forward to climb up another level.
The avenues around him began to collapse. When all the avenues collapsed, the pressure originally borne by the avenues would be re-imposed on Ning Ruoxi.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
“…”
The avenue has collapsed, and the Path of Ice is still struggling to hold on, but it also has the tendency to disintegrate.
Ning Ruoxi's pupils were dilated and she lay on the stairs, unable to move. She was already feeling the pressure and even breathing was painful.
"Bang!" The ice path shattered, and Ning Ruoxi's body began to collapse under the pressure.
The black crescent mark emitted a black light that enveloped Ning Ruoxi, and the Way of Taiyin finally appeared.
Ning Ruoxi's Taiyin Holy Body was completely activated under this pressure. Ning Ruoxi's body was reorganized and scabs kept falling off her body.
The skin where the scab fell off was as tender as a baby's, and even had a gleam of brightness.
Ning Ruoxi felt full of strength. She felt that with the strength of her body alone, she could kill a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage with one punch, and even a cultivator at the early stage of the Fusion stage would be no problem.
The black light enveloped Ning Ruoxi, and the Way of Taiyin wrapped around Ning Ruoxi's body. Ning Ruoxi stood up from the stairs and started walking upwards.
She didn't feel any pressure on the way back.
On the 3,000th floor, Ning Ruoxi bowed her head and stepped onto the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain was covered with clouds and mist, and Ning Ruoxi felt like she was standing on the sky.
"Is there anyone there?" Ning Ruoxi tried to shout as she looked around and saw nothing but white.
Ning Ruoxi did not get a response. She tried to use her spiritual sense, but found that it was blocked and the spiritual power in her body could not be used. Now she was like a mortal.
Of course, she still has the ability to protect herself. Her Taiyin Holy Body has been initially fully awakened. If she wants to improve it again, she needs to absorb enough Taiyin power.
The black light re-entered the black crescent mark between Ning Ruoxi's eyebrows, and the black crescent mark gradually faded and disappeared.
"Ao!" A beast roar was heard, like a call from ancient times. Just hearing this sound, Ning Ruoxi felt very insignificant.
Just as Ning Ruoxi was thinking, a figure that blocked out the sky and the sun flew over her head and finally stopped in front of her.
Ning Ruoxi saw the huge shadow clearly. It had a human head and a snake body, and its entire body was red. This was... the sea god worshipped on Penglai Island!
"After countless years, finally some human beings found this place..." The giant shadow's voice conveyed a sense of vicissitudes.
Ning Ruoxi raised her eyebrows. Penglai Island was so heavily protected by a group of ninth-level sea beasts. It would be a miracle if any human could find this place.
"Are you the God of the Sea?" Ning Ruoxi asked the giant shadow tentatively.
"Sea God?" The giant shadow showed an anthropomorphic doubt on its face, but then it shook its head, "No, I am the god who controls time. You can call me Zhulong."
"The God who controls time?" Ning Ruoxi swallowed her breath. What is God? How does it compare to being an immortal?
"Human, why are you here looking for me? Since you have climbed the Penglai ladder to come here, I can do one thing for you unconditionally."
Ning Ruoxi shook her head. "I don't know who you are, and I didn't come here to look for you. I heard that there is a fairy mountain on Penglai Island. The fairy mountain has three thousand long steps. You have to kowtow every three steps. At the end of the road, you can reshape the past."
"I want to recreate the old days. I want to revive my master!"
