Seeing their hesitation, Lu Jingzhi asked, "Why don't you guys come forward? Are you worried about something?"
Everyone looked at each other, and no one answered for a moment.
"this……"
If you take this step and climb this staircase, you will either be able to successfully reach the top, gain an amazing opportunity, and soar into the sky from then on.
But if I fail, I will probably die on the road.
It's really hard to decide.
At this time, an old man in long sleeves walked out of the crowd.
He looked determined and said loudly, "Forget it, forget it. Anyway, I am already in my twilight years and have not much time left."
"In that case, why not give it a try and go up and give it a try?"
After saying that, he raised his foot and stepped on the steps without hesitation, taking the first step.
Seeing that the old man had already taken action, Ye Xi followed closely and became the second person to step onto the stairs.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Qiyue and some other scattered monks followed.
However, at this time, there was still an old man standing there without moving.
He turned his gaze to Lu Jingzhi, a slightly sarcastic smile on his face.
"My friend, you're actively encouraging others to move forward, but why haven't you taken any action yourself?"
"Are you afraid to go up?"
Facing the old man's questioning and provocation, Lu Jingzhi remained expressionless and simply replied calmly.
"I will go up by myself, no need for you to worry."
Upon hearing this, the old man sneered, said no more, and strode quickly up the stairs.
Lu Jingzhi didn't pay much attention to the old man's behavior.
He turned and looked at Mu Jin and others behind him.
He took out a emerald green precious ring from his bosom and handed it to Mu Jin, "Mother, please keep a good eye on Yan An for me."
Mu Jin nodded gently, reached out to take the ring, his eyes full of concern.
"Son, be careful. I'm waiting here for your safe return."
"Um."
When Lu Jingzhi stepped on the seemingly ordinary steps, a strange feeling suddenly came over him.
It was as if an invisible force rose from under his feet and quietly penetrated into his body.
In just a moment, he keenly realized that he seemed to have become a little heavier.
This feeling of heaviness is not like a sudden heavy burden, but it is like adding a few pounds of fresh meat on the shoulders, which is difficult to ignore.
Lu Jingzhi frowned slightly, his eyes involuntarily looking towards the seven-colored rainbow on the distant mountain top.
Lu Jingzhi took a deep breath and whispered in his heart, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely get the legendary Fountain of Life."
Then, he took a series of steps with full force, climbing towards the top of the mountain with determination...
However, as he moved forward step by step, the originally slight feeling of weight gradually intensified.
Every time I step onto a new step, the heavy pressure increases like a shadow.
If I were to use an analogy to describe how he felt at the moment, then Lu Jingzhi was like carrying a house and crawling up a steep hillside with difficulty.
During the climb, he also tried to use the power of space or the art of flying to reach the top of the mountain quickly.
But what made him feel helpless was that neither space teleportation nor flying was of any use here.
"Turtle Shell Technique."
As the voice fell, a layer of rich red mysterious energy suddenly burst out from Lu Jingzhi's body.
This mysterious energy quickly gathered and condensed.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into the shape of a tortoise shell back, covering his body.
At the moment the tortoise shell took shape, the huge weight that had been oppressing Lu Jingzhi disappeared instantly.
Feeling his body suddenly lighten, Lu Jingzhi couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"It seems that this tortoise shell technique is indeed effective."
Lu Jingzhi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed and continued walking up the mountain with great speed.
However, it wasn't long before he noticed something strange again.
[Huh? What's going on? The profound energy in my body is being consumed so quickly!] Lu Jingzhi was startled and thought to himself.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly activated his golden elixir, trying to absorb the surrounding mysterious energy to replenish his own losses.
But what surprised him was that the mysterious energy here was extremely thin.
Its concentration is not even as strong as that of Panping Town.
"If I can't replenish my Xuan Qi in time, I'm afraid I won't be able to use the Turtle Shell Technique to resist the pressure later."
【It seems there is no time to lose, we must hurry up. 】
He immediately quickened his pace, like a gust of wind sweeping across the mountain path. Before long, he successfully surpassed the white-haired old man who was the first to climb the mountain.
"Young man, how come you are so fast?"
The old man was shocked and surprised when he saw Lu Jing riding away.
Hearing the sound, Lu Jingzhi stopped and turned to look.
The old man was sweating profusely and panting like a cow.
The originally straight back was now slightly bent due to the pressure.
"What I practice is a defensive technique that can reduce the stress on the body."
"If you also have similar skills, you might as well give it a try."
Hearing this, a glint of hope flashed in the old man's eyes. He quickly released the mysterious energy in his body and used his defensive skills.
However, to his disappointment, even after being released.
The heavy pressure did not diminish at all and was not affected by his martial arts at all.
"Strange, why does my martial arts have no effect here?" The old man muttered to himself with a look of confusion and puzzlement on his face.
