Chapter 957 Ladder to Heaven

Chapter 957 Ladder to Heaven

In the year 2010 AD, in the True Dragon Star Territory, within the placenta of heaven and earth.

The progress of Eli Yi and his team in the True Dragon Ruins was the same as that of Lu Chen and others. It would be better to say that she was the leader in ancient times for a long time.

When they walked through the cave and saw the ladder to the sky, they were also shocked.

"Is this the legendary fairyland? Why is it a world of its own?"

Lu Ming looked at this scene with confusion in his heart. His consciousness was extremely limited here and could not extend very far, so he could only judge visually.

Based on what I have seen so far, after passing through the cave tunnel, what appears in front of me is a completely new world, with the endless galaxy above and the endless land below.

He checked his status and saw that the longevity column was still locked. In this world, longevity would almost never pass.

"A lot of people died over there."

Xia Mi's expression was solemn. Without the news from ancient times and Eri's instructions, she didn't dare to take a single step.

Under the suspended ladder, there were dozens of corpses. The clothes on the corpses were still as complete as new, and the remains were well preserved.

She and Eriyi received Lu Chen's report from the God Burial Calendar. I'm afraid these people have been dead for more than a million years. For eighth-level beginners, these people's bodies would not be well preserved according to common sense. old.

But this place is very special. No matter whether it is creatures or things, the force of time is almost stagnant, so they can survive forever.

The remains of the eighth-level junior strongman were already a treasure. However, Lu Ming and Xia Mi were fine, and Eri Yi always felt a little uncomfortable with things like refining dead people into magic weapons and equipment.

Lu Ming is because as a secret blood warrior, he is a very nervous person. As long as the opportunity can enhance his combat power, he doesn't care whether he is sick or not.

As for Xia Mi, she was once a proud Jörmungandr who inspired to evolve into the god of death, Hela. How could she be afraid of death?

"It's better for everyone to stay still... This place gives me a very bad feeling."

Eri Yi reminded, causing Lu Ming, who was about to move, to stop.

Although she does not have special eyes, she directly feels that the front is very dangerous. There is some kind of special judgment here. Once she does not meet the requirements or fails a certain test, she will be ruthlessly wiped out like those people.

Even the eighth-level experts died here, let alone the seventh-level people like them.

In the God Burial Calendar, Lu Chen and others observed this new world at the entrance of the cave. While marveling, they were also worried about the future.

Now they have understood that they are by no means the first to come to this place. Looking at the clothes of those people, they can understand that they are all members of the Star Alliance in the past hundreds of thousands of years.

"That was the last Sea King of Wuyouhai!"

Lin Shanhe exclaimed, pointing in one direction, feeling shocked in his heart.

"The last Sea King? Have you met him?"

Lu Chen was puzzled.

Lin Shanhe shook his head, "When I was a boy, I went to Wuyou Sea as a guest with my father. There was a statue in the square. It was the first Sea King of Wuyou Sea. In fact, he was also the previous one. At that time, it was rumored that he was the one who wasted his longevity. Jin passed away sitting in Wuyou Sea, I didn’t expect to die here.”

Lu Chen felt that he had asked a stupid question. Of course, the former leaders of such a big force were extremely famous figures. Even if they died, there is no gap in history and the other force still inherits its glory. So of course There will be statues and portraits to commemorate the event.

"And there, that was the first generation peak master of Zhexian Peak, and he died here!"

Lin Shanhe glanced at the corpses at the bottom of the ladder, feeling more and more shocked. He didn't expect that a group of big shots died here.

"Is that... the first sword master of my Divine Sword Palace!?"

When Lin Shanhe saw an old man again, he lost his composure, because he was very familiar with this person. He could see his portraits and sculptures everywhere in the Divine Sword Palace every day, and he even saw them in literature records.

Lu Chen looked in the direction Lin Shanhe was pointing. There was the body of an old man wearing orange clothes lying there, with a broken sword stuck beside him. From the perspective of breath perception, this old man was not inferior to a group of corpses. The strongest among them.

"It seems that your Divine Sword Palace has been rich before."

Lu Chen sighed with emotion.

Lin Shanhe's face was not very good, because he was the direct descendant of the Divine Sword Palace and the Young Palace Master. His father had a son from old age. As a son like him, if he knew the situation and secrets of this ruins, it was impossible not to tell him.

This can only show that Shenjian Palace was involved in the affairs here before, but because its strength declined later, other major forces proposed this "game"

Even his father, the current sword master of the Divine Sword Palace, may not know about the true dragon ruins.

"Leng Yue, are you feeling better?"

Lu Chen asked about Leng Yue's condition. This cold assassin had just seen a huge amount of bleeding from his eyes and was injured to the core.

"Fortunately, I can see things, but I can't do anything about the killing array here."

Leng Yue's tone was calm, but after getting to know each other, Lu Chen still saw Leng Yue's guilt.

Because Leng Yue felt that she didn't have much effect along the way. Judging from the situation of the previous formation, she felt that Boss Lu's outrageous teammate could completely blindly guess and walk over, and she didn't need her to judge the direction at all.

And with Lin Shanhe, a person who knows some Feng Shui skills, her role is minimal.

"There is a kind of field here. Strictly speaking, I don't think it is a killing formation. It just blocks our way."

Lin Shanhe judged, pointing to the suspended ladder, "Judging from the divisions of the field and the positions of the remains, it seems that the only way to go is through the ladder. If you go anywhere else, you will be crushed by the field. "

Leng Yue also nodded and said, "Indeed, apart from the ladder to heaven, there are deadly places everywhere. The straight road from us to the ladder to heaven is feasible."

Lu Chen was thoughtful and didn't know why this place was set up like this, but the previous owner seemed to hope that someone could use this ladder to reach the top platform.

Looking upward, this ladder had a total of 99,999 steps, and at the end was a suspended high platform. Lu Chen and the others couldn't see what was on it from their angle.

The spiritual consciousness is limited and can only reach the first step of the ladder. If it spreads to the left and right, it will be wiped out by the field, and upwards will encounter strong resistance.

"Then it seems we can only take the ladder to heaven."

Mo Yu said with a smile that she actually felt very uneasy after seeing those bodies just now.

Because her premonition came true, it would be better to say that although she was cautious in the past, she still found no trace of anyone going in, but someone had actually been here.

So it can only show that the people who made the layout were careful and took many situations into consideration.

She added: "However, I think it is better for us to consider how to return to the original route. As I said before, the Star Alliance knows about the existence of this place. The so-called Dragon Capital Competition is just to select pathfinders. A ritual.”

Lu Chen frowned. There were a few things he couldn't figure out. "If you say so, is it too harsh? Because the possibility of a young prodigy wanting to enter here is very low."

While he was analyzing, he also communicated with Chu Zihang on the group channel to get some suggestions.

"First of all, to enter here, you need the same door-opening technique as the jet-black light group. Don't look at how easy I imitated it, but most people will definitely not be able to learn it after seeing it once, unless they are a monster among geniuses and have the ability to imitate and reproduce. Extraordinary talent.”

Lu Chen held out a finger and said, "Secondly, in the end we had Fairy Mo Yu and you contributed the true dragon's blood so that we could successfully open the door. Here, just knowing tricks is not enough. You must also have relatively pure dragon blood. These conditions It’s too harsh, how can the genius of the Star Alliance get in?”

"That's why the Dragon Capital Competition is so friendly to outsiders, allowing talented people from all over the starry sky to participate."

"That's why they are so generous to outsiders."

Mo Yu and Chu Zihang replied to Lu Chen's words almost at the same time.

Qianxue thought for a moment and said, "So, in fact, over the years, the Star Alliance has been looking for geniuses with dragon blood to induce them to enter this ruins?"

Several people started discussing, and Lu Chen began to listen to Chu Zihang's detailed analysis.

"Brother Lu, this matter is not as complicated as you think. You just think it is a coincidence because you meet the conditions, so you think it is a small probability event. In fact, it is too easy for the Star Alliance to want the genius to enter here."

Chu Zihang said in the group channel, "Because all the rules are vague, including the time node told by the jet black light group, and only two months, but in fact, Eriki and the others were in 2010 AD Nothing bad happens when you get in here.”

"Of course, Eri's luck is very good, and it is possible that the time in modern times happens to be these two months in the millennium, but I think this probability is too small, because this is not a matter of luck. The era we entered was determined by It’s determined by space, so the jet-black light mass deceived you.”

"Secondly, Brother Lu, have you ever thought about it, if an eighth-level strongman, I compare him to a high-level quasi-emperor-level existence, follows you, can you really detect him? The jet-black light mass is completely You can enter with the geniuses, open the door for them, create some coincidences, and let them enter your current ruins."

Hearing this, Lu Chen had doubts again, "But what's the point of doing this? The eighth-level experts have died here, what use can young people do?"

Chu Zihang put down his work and explained: "This can only show that the necessary point to explore this ruins is not strength, but some potential specialties in people, maybe blood, maybe talent, or training system , or it may be mysterious things such as luck, so the Star Alliance people will hold the Dragon Capital Competition to select the best young people to try."

"But I heard from Lin Shanhe that there are no opportunities in the Dragon Capital Competition. Almost every time we explore the ruins, everyone just takes advantage of the excitement and returns disappointed. It is very boring. It has been more than ten years since a genius fell into the ruins."

Lu Chen said puzzledly.

"This is easy to explain. Brother Lu, you must know that the genius who has entered this ruins will not talk nonsense. Even without the warning of his elders, he himself knows that the stakes here are important, and the place where you are is not Every time the ruins are explored, someone will be guided in.”

Chu Zihang paused and said: "The jet-black light group is selecting people. The Star Alliance is responsible for the first selection, and he is responsible for the second selection. Only if he thinks there are people who meet the requirements, he will open the ruins, or just like Lu Brother, if you do this, see if you can enter."

The more Lu Chen listened, the more frightened he became. What on earth did the people from the Star Alliance want to do? How much do they know about this place?

"Then shall we continue to explore? In the end, won't we be making wedding dresses for the Star Alliance?"

Lu Chen could already imagine that outside the huge millstone, there were already many powerful men from all major forces, waiting for him to go out.

Regardless of whether I gain anything from this trip, it will not end well.

At this time, Mo Yu had also analyzed most of the analysis. Qianxue and others also looked gloomy after hearing this. Lin Shanhe even had a grimace on his face, "Brother Lu, I shouldn't have told you about the Dragon Capital Competition. I was the one who led you into trouble." It’s in.”

Lu Chen patted Lin Shanhe's shoulder, "It has nothing to do with Brother Lin. To be honest, this is what we are here for."

Mo Yu looked at Lu Chen, "Are you ready to continue going down now?"

Lu Chen looked at the ladder, nodded without any hesitation, and said with a grin: "Of course, you've come here, how can you come back empty-handed?"

His idea is very simple. If the shocking opportunity here is too conspicuous for him and others to leave and it is difficult to escape, let the modern Eri and the others take it away. They can use Qianxue's props to leave the True Dragon Star Territory directly. .

"The ladder is also very dangerous. Look at where those people landed. They should have died on the way."

Mo Yu looked ahead. The remains of strong men were scattered under the ladder. The furthest one was probably right below the 60,000th step.

Lu Chen didn't say anything this time and walked forward, "I'll try it first."

He followed Leng Yue's instructions, avoided the oppression of the field, and climbed to the first step of the ladder to heaven.

As soon as he stepped up, he felt a repelling and oppressive force, trying to squeeze him to both sides of the ladder. Once he fell out, his soul would be wiped out by the field, and he would end up like those on the ground.

Lu Chen looked at the more than 90,000 steps of the ladder above, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he thought something interesting. As Chu Zihang said, this ladder is a kind of trial and selection.

He stepped up the ladder, Qianxue following closely behind. Mo Yu looked at this scene, shrugged, and followed. A pioneer never gives up.

Lin Shanhe was a little hesitant. He felt that there was no way out on this ladder. Once there was strong pressure in the center, it would be difficult to resist and it would be difficult to return to the original path. That's why so many people died.

While he was thinking, Leng Yue, who had just recovered beside him, had already moved forward, which made him feel a little embarrassed, because Leng Yue was obviously weaker than him.

Lu Chen climbed the ladder at a leisurely pace. He told Eri Yi in the group channel not to rush to the ladder. He also asked him to tell Lu Ming not to try impulsively. He wanted to try the level of this ladder first.

After walking up ten thousand steps, Lu Chen discovered the wonder of this ladder.

Although the suspended ladder is long, the sides are very narrow. Only one person can stand on the same step. The whole body is made of a kind of blue stone that Lu Chen doesn't recognize. Whenever he steps on the first step of the stone ladder, he will feel pressure.

These pressures are not the same, some are pressing to the left, some are pressing to the right, trying to squeeze him out, and some are directly pressing on his body and soul. If he is not strong enough, he will be crushed directly.

After walking through the 10,000 steps, Lu Chen finally understood why the Star Alliance wanted to select young geniuses to come here. Climbing the ladder does not depend on the level of cultivation and strength, but the peak of a person's strength at the same level. .

Lu Chen stood on the 10,000-step ladder and looked back. Qian Xue and Mo Yu were closely following him, while Leng Yue was only at 8,000 steps and had obviously started to be cautious. Lin Shanhe was even worse. There are only six thousand steps.

"At this rate of pressure increase, I feel like I can't reach the top."

Mo Yu frowned slightly, "This poor place is not suitable for me."

She could tell that Lu Chen and Qian Xue were still very relaxed at this time, but she had begun to feel slight pressure.

Although she is a pioneer, she is still a summoner, and what she is good at is not the explosion of her own individual strength.

"You must stop before you feel the pressure reaches the limit and slowly step back."

Lu Chen said that when he saw Mo Yu ascending the first step, he cautiously walked back down, trying to see if he could turn back.

"Keep walking, that prop can still be used."

Qianxue opened her mouth to reassure Lu Chen. Her immortal-level prop was a specialty of Tiandao space and was the best in space travel. Although this ruin was special, it only took ten seconds to activate and could still bring them there. Walk.

Lu Chen calmed down and said, "I'm starting to speed up, you guys do what you can."

After figuring out the rules here, Lu Chen stopped delaying and stepped up the ladder. Under Lin Shanhe's shocked eyes, he walked as fast as flying, as if he was walking on an ordinary stone ladder.

Soon, Lu Chen reached the height of the 50,000th level. Directly below this level, the bodies of more than a dozen powerful Star Alliance men could be seen.

After reaching this height, Lu Chen finally felt some pressure. The transformed Martial Emperor's meridian began to circulate in his body, and the secret blood of God began to boil, and his whole body exuded a blinding red light.

Qianxue was still following him closely at this time, not even a minute behind, but Mo Yu's speed had slowed down and he was thrown dozens of steps by Qianxue.

Lu Chen slowed down a little. He was not that arrogant yet, and the strongest person below had only reached level 60,000.

It’s gone today (╥╯^╰╥), it should be restored tomorrow
