Ye Xi and Lin Qiyue, who were not far away, witnessed this scene. They looked at each other with puzzled expressions on their faces.
After hesitating for a moment, they walked towards the ninety-seventh step...
However, when they reached the 57th step, they felt as if their legs were weighed down by lead blocks and they could no longer take another step forward.
Ye Xi frowned slightly, turned to look at Lin Qiyue beside him, and asked softly: "Is he... okay?"
Lin Qiyue shook her head, her eyes fell on Lu Jingzhi, observing his changes.
After a while, he said, "His body seems to be automatically absorbing the surrounding profound energy. This means that he is probably just exhausted from overexertion. His life is not in danger for the time being."
Ye Xi nodded slightly after hearing this. "Well, I hope he can wake up soon. If what the elder of Suantian Pavilion said is correct, then he is the one who can bring us opportunities."
Time passes by minute by minute...
Before I knew it, the sun had gradually set, and a gorgeous sunset glow appeared on the horizon.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Lu Jingzhi, who had been unconscious, finally moved.
He first moved his fingers slightly, then slowly opened his eyes.
"You finally woke up."
Lu Jingzhi heard the sound and tried to wake himself up.
He propped himself up and tried to sit up, while responding, "Well, I didn't expect that I would sleep for a whole day."
"Yes, congratulations on your breakthrough!"
Lu Jingzhi looked bewildered and asked in disbelief, "I've made a breakthrough?"
After saying that, he quickly closed his eyes and began to mobilize the mysterious energy in his body.
In an instant, a powerful aura gushed out from him.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that his cultivation had indeed improved from two stars in the Sky Realm to three stars.
Lin Qiyue, who was standing by, looked at Lu Jingzhi in disbelief, looking at him as if he were a monster, and exclaimed, "Daoist Lu, you're really not bad. You actually poured such rich profound energy into your body without any scruples."
"How strong a physique and meridians would be needed to be able to withstand this?"
While Lu Jingzhi was unconscious, the thick mysterious energy that was originally surrounding him suddenly rushed towards his body like a stream of water.
As a result, Lin Qiyue, who was sitting below, was unable to absorb much. Most of the mysterious energy rushed into Lu Jingzhi's body.
Facing Lin Qiyue's eyes full of shock and confusion, Lu Jingzhi simply said perfunctorily, "Maybe it's just a coincidence."
After he finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the other party, but released the "Turtle Shell Technique"
A layer of faint red light instantly enveloped it, forming a turtle back.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Jingzhi, despite the enormous pressure coming from above, walked upwards step by step with difficulty but determination.
With every step he took, Lu Jingzhi could feel the pressure becoming heavier.
Just like that, after climbing dozens of steps in a row, he felt a little powerless again, and his legs began to tremble slightly.
So he reached into his storage ring and took out a red tasseled spear that was flashing with cold light, then thrust it forcefully into the ground.
With the help of the spear, he managed to stabilize his shaky body.
Lu Jingzhi took a few breaths, then turned around and looked down.
Lin Qiyue and Ye Xi, who had a pretty face but was now as pale as paper, were still standing in their original positions.
No matter how hard they try, they can no longer take even a small step forward.
Lu Jingzhi shouted loudly to the people below: "Can you still come up?"
Hearing his cry, Ye Xi raised her head, shook her head slightly, and replied weakly, "It's no use... We really can't go up."
"If you can successfully reach the summit, the pressure between heaven and earth will be greatly weakened for a period of time. Then we may have a chance to continue moving forward."
"So, Fellow Daoist Lu, I hope you succeed."
"good."
Lu Jingzhi stood there, holding his spear and looking towards the top of the mountain.
The next second, the white hair fluttered in the wind, and the red eyes looked towards the top of the mountain.
Suddenly, a terrifying Shura aura emanated from him, and behind him, a six-armed Shura phantom looked towards the top of the mountain.
At this moment, the pressure from heaven and earth collided horribly with the evil spirit of Shura.
A green lotus emerged from his body and circled around Lu Jingzhi, followed by a thunder lotus...
The originally terrifying pressure from heaven and earth was now on equal footing with him and could not shake him at all.
Ye Xi and Lin Qiyue widened their eyes, their mouths slightly open, and looked straight at the figure standing high up.
In a trance, they felt that Lu Jingzhi was like an immortal who was high above and otherworldly.
And I am just like an insignificant, small and humble mortal.
Lu Jingzhi stepped steadily on the next step.
It was not until the last three steps that his figure began to waver.
[Dad, wait for me to bring the Fountain of Life back to you.]
Lu Jingzhi stepped onto the second to last step, his whole body trembling.
Suddenly, the air twisted, and a green pillar of light appeared in the sky and pressed directly on him, preventing him from climbing the last step.
Lu Jingzhi gritted his teeth and looked up at the top of the mountain.
"What if God stops me?"
The terrifying Shura and elemental aura instantly burst out from Lu Jingzhi's body, and he fought back with a green beam of light.
“I want to reach the pinnacle of life!”
When Lu Jing stepped onto the top of the mountain
In an instant, the whole world was shaken.
With a loud "swish", the originally bright daylight instantly turned into a pitch-black night, and the next second it turned back into bright daylight.
In this way, day and night alternate rapidly.
The people gathered in the square were stunned by this sudden spectacle, and then burst into deafening exclamations.
People were whispering and talking to each other.
"What on earth is going on?" someone asked loudly in astonishment.
"Could it be that someone has successfully reached the pinnacle of life?"
"That's unlikely. I remember the last time someone reached the summit, there wasn't such a strange phenomenon happening in the sky and earth."
"In my opinion, it must be the Saintess of the Tianyue Sect who successfully reached the summit."
"No, no, it's obvious that Lin Qiyue's cultivation is superior, it must be him who did it."
"Haha, this fellow Daoist doesn't know that climbing to the pinnacle of life cannot be achieved simply by relying on cultivation."
"It all depends on whether you have the ability to attract the attention of the pinnacle of life."
While everyone was arguing, Mu Jin sat quietly on the chair, staring at the strange scene in the sky.
Her heart beat involuntarily faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
"Did Jingzhi succeed?!"
