At the 6,600th step, Zhao Yuanji collapsed and sat on the ground, unable to move forward any further.
He could only climb another 3,300 steps, and he had already reached his limit, gritting his teeth.
"I can't walk anymore."
Wang Pingbei also gave up.
"Then you can practice here."
Xiao Chen nodded. Not reaching the top doesn’t mean there will be no gains.
Just like questioning your conscience, even if you fail, you will still gain something.
"good."
The two responded and sat down cross-legged.
They also felt that under these physical limits, certain shackles seemed to have been released.
If you take advantage of this time to practice, you will definitely be able to make further progress.
One after another, Zhao Ritian and Lu Wudi also had to stop.
Next comes the Ghost King and others.
"Can you continue?"
Lu Hongyun looked at Xiao Chen, somewhat surprised.
"Haha, isn't this just the beginning?"
Xiao Chen smiled slightly. He had been through so much hard work in the no-man's land before, almost reaching the ceiling, so it was much easier here.
“…”
Lu Hongyun was surprised. Even he felt it was exhausting and might not be able to hold on for long.
when.
Li Guizi's iron crutch tapped on the steps, making a crisp sound.
His speed was not fast, but he always maintained an upward posture and looked more relaxed than Lu Hongyun.
Lu Hongyun looked at Li Cunzi's back and his eyelids twitched. This old cripple was very powerful.
Xiao Chen was also quite surprised. The Ghost King and the others had stopped, but Li Cunzi was able to continue?
He originally thought that among these people, only Zhang the blacksmith would be the one who could persevere to the end, but unexpectedly, it was Li the Cripple.
Blacksmith Zhang walked dozens more steps than the Ghost King and his companions, and then stopped.
"Senior Lu, continue?"
Xiao Chen smiled and continued to move forward.
Lu Hongyun gritted his teeth. He couldn't be worse than a cripple, right?
The figures of the three people were almost hidden in the clouds and mist, and could not be seen clearly within ten meters.
When he reached the nine thousand steps, Lu Hongyun had to stop.
More than nine thousand, it’s even harder!
Every step makes it difficult to climb to the next level.
"The real test begins at nine thousand..."
Lu Hongyun shook his head and looked at Li Guizi in front of him.
At this moment, Li Guizi's body was slightly hunched, and it was obvious that he was having difficulty walking.
Each step takes dozens of seconds, which shows how difficult it is.
His hand holding the iron crutch was trembling slightly.
Xiao Chen was not at ease either. He practiced the Chaos Technique frantically to bring himself to the peak state.
"How long can Senior Li go?"
Xiao Chen came to Li Cunzi and asked.
"I'll try to walk a few more steps with you."
Li Quezi looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"Why?"
Xiao Chen thought about it and asked the question in his mind.
Li Guizi protects him too much!
No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure it out.
It can't really be because of those jars of wine?
Before, I fought a great battle with Shan Kui for him, and I was totally risking my life!
"As expected of the peerless genius of the Mother Realm, he has reached such a high level."
Li Cunzi smiled slightly and said slowly.
Hearing what Li Guizi said, Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed and a huge wave of emotion rose in his heart.
However, the expression on his face did not change at all, and he was still puzzled.
"hehe."
Li Guizi's smile became wider, with a flash of relief in his eyes.
This kind of mentality alone is extremely rare.
Even a veteran might not be able to be as calm as him.
"Chen Xiao, Xiao Chen, you are really bold."
Li Quezi said again.
"How do you know that?"
Xiao Chen stared at Li Guizi, his tone still calm.
"Your father told me."
Li Quezi leaned on his iron crutch and spoke slowly.
"My father?"
Even when his identity was exposed just now, Xiao Chen's expression remained unchanged.
These words made his expression change drastically and he reacted extremely strongly.
Isn’t one of the reasons why he came to Tianwai Tian for Xiao Sheng?
He would rather take huge risks and travel to the outer world under the name of 'Chen Xiao', isn't it also for Xiao Sheng?
Sifang City became famous and Xuanyuan Town came to the limelight. What he wanted was for Xiao Sheng to come to him!
But there was no news from Xiao Sheng yet.
Now, his news came from the mouth of a cultivator from the outer world. How could he not be shocked!
"Yes, your father, Xiao Sheng."
Li Quezi nodded.
"Didn't you come here just to find him?"
“…”
Xiao Chen still couldn't believe it. How could Xiao Sheng know Li Guizi?
And...the relationship is unusual?
Otherwise, he would never have revealed his identity to Li Guizi.
Revealing his identity was equivalent to handing his life over to Li Guizi.
What is the relationship?
A friend of life and death?
Although he was not close to Xiao Sheng, he did not recognize him as his father.
But he felt that if there was a life-and-death crisis, Xiao Sheng would definitely sacrifice himself to save him.
In other words, Xiao Sheng values his life more than his own.
Now, he told Li Guizi.
"Haha, are you wondering what the relationship between me and your father is?"
Li Guizi seemed to see through Xiao Chen's thoughts and asked with a smile.
"Would you mind telling me?"
Xiao Chen nodded.
"If it weren't for your father, I might not be a cripple."
Li Guizi patted his iron crutch.
"Huh? Did he beat you up?"
Xiao Chen was surprised. Is Xiao Sheng really that strong?
Impossible!
“…”
Li Guizi's smile froze. Is this how he understood his words?
"Without him, I would be dead, so how could I be a cripple?"
"Forehead……"
Xiao Chen was speechless. Why don’t you just say thank you for saving my life?
Without him, you would not be a cripple.
This is easy to be misunderstood, okay?
At the same time, he was even more surprised. Did Xiao Sheng have the ability to save Li Quezi?
"He saved my life, and later we became close friends."
Li Cunzi continued.
"He's the kind of person you can trust with your life and death, so he told me your identity."
"So that's how it is."
Xiao Chen suddenly realized.
"Li Quezi, where is he now? Hasn't he come to Xuanyuan Realm?"
"No, he said that the opportunity in Xuanyuan Realm must be yours, so he won't come."
Li Quezi shook his head.
"He has other things to do."
“…”
Xiao Chen curled the corner of his mouth. Is Xiao Sheng so confident in him?
Although he didn't see Xiao Sheng, the taut string in the deepest part of his heart suddenly loosened.
As long as you are okay, it doesn’t matter whether we meet or not.
"I was also surprised when I learned your identity."
Li Cunzi smiled.
"There are so many people in Xuanyuan Town that I never had the chance to tell you... Here, there are only you and me."
"No wonder your attitude towards me has changed."
Xiao Chen also laughed.
"I feel very uneasy about your sudden attitude towards me."
"Hahaha."
Li Cunzi laughed.
"Are you relieved now? Do you believe me?"
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded. If he could make Xiao Sheng believe it, he could certainly believe Li Guizi.
To be precise, he did not believe Li Guizi, but Xiao Sheng.
As a father, you can't betray your own son, right?
"I know you still have a lot to ask. Once we leave Xuanyuan Realm, I'll let you and your son communicate. You can ask him some questions then."
Li Cunzi said.
"Now, let's continue upwards. I'll keep you company as long as I can."
