On a towering mountain in the Shanggenjing world, the air was filled with rich blood energy. Countless cultivators gathered here, looking up with horror at an old man on the mountain.

The old man looked solemn as he walked up the stone steps up the mountain, one step at a time. With every step he took, his aura rose significantly.

There were at least a thousand cultivators around, all staring at the old man's back with nervous expressions. There were even quite a few Nascent Soul stage warriors, including some powerful eighth and ninth level cultivators. Like the other cultivators, they had solemn and nervous expressions on their faces.

Boom! When the old man stepped onto the tenth stone step, a huge wave of air came from the mountain, as violent as a huge wave, one after another.

The old man paused and let out a low roar. A terrifying wave of true energy condensed from his body, which actually condensed into an extremely huge phantom behind him. It was like a lifelike god of war, roaring towards the sky.

Boom!

The two air waves collided with each other, erupting into a violent wave that swept in all directions. For a moment, sand and rocks were flying everywhere at the foot of the mountain. All the cultivators' faces changed drastically and they exclaimed in surprise.

"There is such a terrifying restriction on this mountain. Elder Qu, a powerful cultivator in the Void Refining Stage, has only climbed to the tenth floor. It's a bit strenuous!"

"With such a horrible ban, can only the strong ones in the Divine Wandering Stage go up there?"

"That may not be the case. I just tried to climb these steps. Although I was knocked down after only reaching the third floor, the resistance I encountered was not that great."

"Does it mean that the higher the level of a cultivator's cultivation, the greater the restrictions they will be subject to?"

The crowd became excited and had different opinions.

"If this is true, then those of us with low cultivation bases may also be able to reach the top of the mountain. Who knows, the inheritance left behind by the Great Sage Chenxue may be on the top of the mountain!"

"Look, Elder Qu is climbing up again."

After Elder Qu paused for a moment on the tenth floor, he snorted coldly. The shadow of the God of War behind him let out a dull roar, and suddenly a ball of gray light burst out. The aura of Elder Qu also rose rapidly.

"This... is too terrifying. How could a Void Refining Stage expert be so powerful?"

"Of course. In the Void Training Stage, one can practice the spirit into the void and condense an inscription that can overturn rivers and seas, shake mountains and forests!"

One step, two steps, until the nineteenth step, Elder Qu's face turned ugly.

"not good!"

Elder Qu shouted in a deep voice, and the aura on his body exploded completely. He kicked heavily on the twentieth floor. The heaven and earth shook suddenly, and the sound of a terrifying wave exploding was heard continuously.

Buzz! A roar came from the east of the world, and a terrifying violent blood energy came from the top of the mountain, hitting Elder Qu.

This terrifying restriction broke out suddenly, and Elder Qu's face changed drastically. It was too late for him to react. He was pushed down with a bang, and sat on the ground. He stood up quickly again.

A group of people rushed over and said in shock, "How about this, Elder Qu, is it true that no one can climb up this barrier?"

Elder Qu's expression changed repeatedly. After calming down his qi and blood, he shook his head and said, "There is a strange restriction on this mountain road. The more powerful the cultivator, the greater the resistance. I don't know how to climb up."

"Will there be no resistance if we don't use our true energy?"

"That's not the case. I just tried it. Whether I use my true energy or not, the resistance I encounter is not small."

"This...what should I do?"

Everyone looked at each other, at a loss for a moment, and all their eyes fell on Elder Qu.

Elder Qu looked at Hua Youyue in the crowd, frowned, and then asked with a smile: "Master Hua just entered the fifteenth floor with the cultivation base of the Nascent Soul Stage. Did you find anything?"

As soon as these words came out, many people around changed their expressions and asked hurriedly, "Yes, Master Hua, I am also in the Nascent Soul stage, but I can't even reach the eighth floor. How did you pass the tenth floor?"

Hua Youyue saw that everyone's eyes were on her. She hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not sure either. I just feel that I can climb a few more levels. By the way, when I reached the tenth level, I felt a flash of severe pain in my spiritual sea. The pain was so fleeting that I almost couldn't bear it."

"Huh?" Someone exclaimed, "I've also encountered this situation. I had a severe headache and was in a trance. When I woke up, I was already down there."

Not all Nascent Soul cultivators can open their Spiritual Sea. Among the many cultivators present, even the vast majority have not yet opened up their Spiritual Sea.

"If this is true, then we will have no chance of obtaining this secret inheritance treasure?"

For a time, many people were disheartened and felt dampened by the cruel reality.

At this time, Elder Qu said in a deep voice: "Don't be disappointed, everyone. From what I have seen, although we cannot climb to the top of the mountain, we can practice on the stone platform and get twice the result with half the effort. We can even use the energy and blood here to refine our bodies. Maybe this is also a test from the Great Sage Chenxue."

"Yes, I have also discovered this. Maybe if I practice on it and adapt to the energy of this blood and qi, I can successfully reach the top of the mountain."

"But this restriction is very strange. The more people go up, the greater the pressure will be. With so many of us, who would be willing to wait down there?"

Everyone was talking about it and became alert. At this time, everyone wanted to have a seat on the stone steps. Who would be willing to wait for everyone to practice down there?

Elder Qu looked at the two old men in the Lianxu period outside the country, and they looked at each other and nodded secretly, as if they had reached some kind of agreement.

A tall and energetic old man walked out of the crowd and said loudly, "I suggest that we assign positions according to the level of cultivation. When someone can no longer hold on, they will be replaced and continue to cultivate. If this virtuous cycle continues, maybe everyone will have a chance."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present echoed and expressed their agreement.

"According to what Sect Master Wang said, do you have any different opinions?"

"How can I have different opinions? The three seniors in the Void Refining Stage are so righteous that they are willing to give us a chance. We will naturally abide by the rules."

"I agree!" Hua Youyue glanced at Yao Lao and nodded.

Elder Qu said with a smile: "Then let's follow what Sect Master Wang said. Everyone should find your own position consciously, but..."

At this point, Elder Qu's face darkened, he snorted coldly, and then said: "But I have to say this in advance. If anyone disregards the rules and violates our tolerance, don't blame me for being cruel!"

Seeing the terrifying aura erupting from Elder Qu, everyone suddenly fell silent.

If Lianxuqi gets angry, the people here will probably flow into a river of blood.

Naturally, no one dared to raise any objection and they all said that it would not be the case.

Sect Master Wang said with a smile, "Don't blame me, everyone. Elder Qu is also thinking about everyone. If someone breaks in, it will not only destroy the balance that has been formed with great difficulty, but may also be countered by the restriction. If someone is injured or even killed, it will not end well."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that it was not so easy for them to use the restrictions to practice. Just thinking about the consequences was really frightening.

Next, after several attempts, everyone finally reached a balance. If anyone else went up, everyone would be knocked down by the ban, which was very dangerous.

The three Lianxu stage masters were on the nineteenth floor, and the rest of the Yuanying stage masters were on the fifteenth or several floors. However, among the Yuanying stage masters, only Hua Youyue could reach the fifteenth floor.

Seeing everyone sitting cross-legged and getting ready, Elder Qu said loudly: "Everyone, I will practice first. Please remember to pay attention to who can't bear it and make up for it as soon as possible..."

Before Elder Qu finished speaking, a thunderous roar was heard:

"Bitch cat, stop right there if you dare!"

"Bah, kid, I just drank a mouthful of your soup, there's no need for you to chase me across six hills, right?"

Elder Qu and the others were bewildered. They turned to look at the source of the sound, and their faces suddenly changed.

"Oh no, Yang Zhen is here!"
