C71 (1/2)

In the blink of an eye, the sixth day had arrived.

Above the center of the arena, at the top of the huge screen, the red dot that represented the entrance of the ancient monument was still guarding the entrance of the valley.

From the 5th day onward, a large amount of red dots gathered at the entrance. They were the disciples of the Immortal Sect's 100 clans.

Even so, the red dot on the ancient monument door was still stubborn, continuing to maintain its unstoppable momentum.

With every passing moment, a red dot from the hundreds of celestial gate would be let through the intersection and into the valley.

In the end, the Immortal Gate disciples that hadn't entered yet, seemed to have been moved by Song Changqing, and they all started to line up at the entrance to the valley!

Looking at the huge hologram, there was a neat and orderly line of red dots. Other than the Lan family, everyone present was full of admiration for Song Changqing.

Such perseverance caused everyone to be moved!

At the same time, within the Xumi Temple.

”Let's go in. Next.”

Zhou Qing smiled as he received the storage ring from one of the disciples. After letting this gloomy-looking fellow into the valley, he waved to the next person.

At this moment, there were nearly thirty disciples of the hundreds of immortal sects lined up at the entrance of the valley, waiting to pay the money they had bought.

Some were angry, some were wronged, some were jealous, and there were even some who were indignant. However, no one dared to say that Zhou Qing was wrong, and even less dared to challenge him.

Since an hour ago when everyone saw this fellow lift up the giant monument and break the legs of a Violet Mystery Sect disciple, they had completely given up on this thought.

This guy was too brutal!

As more and more people were allowed to pass, the line became shorter and shorter. When the last person's storage ring was taken away, Zhou Qing stretched lazily, a wide smile on his face.

Looking at the nearly one hundred storage rings stacked into a small mountain, his mood became increasingly comfortable.

His harvest was great, this trip was worth it!

After putting away the Dharmic tablet that had been stabbed into the ground, Zhou Qing also took a big step forward and walked into the valley.

The valley was incomparably spacious.

The ground was covered in a thin layer of sand, and not a single blade of grass grew. There was only a stone staircase standing in the middle of the valley, extending all the way to the summit.

There were many places on the stairs that had already been peeled off and were filled with an ancient aura that had existed for a long time.

The staircase was about ten meters wide, and every step was nearly three meters wide. It was big enough to hold many people at the same time, but it didn't feel crowded at all.

At this moment, over a hundred disciples were staring at the enormous pressure as they climbed with all their might.

However, when Zhou Qing walked in, everyone's heart shuddered violently. Some of them even felt their hearts being affected. As they staggered, they almost fell down the stone stairs.

Standing below the stone stairs, Zhou Qing raised his head and looked up.

Quite a few people had just started climbing, and the four who had entered the Four Great Clans earlier were the strongest, having climbed more than a hundred steps.

The one who had replaced the Lan family in the battle, Luo Yuan, was climbing the highest. At this moment, he was standing on the 125th step, his body slightly bent and he was struggling to lift his feet.

At the same time as he lifted his feet, his back became more and more bent, as if he was pressed down by a heavy mountain. His face became pale and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

Bang.

Finally, Luo Yuan stepped onto the 126th step, his body swayed for a moment before he stabilized himself.

At the same time, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

After Luo Yuan was Yuwen Jie, who had reached the one hundred twentieth step; after him was Li Yinghe and Zhou Haotian, who had reached the one hundred eighteenth and one hundred fifteenth step, respectively.

After looking at it for a moment, Zhou Qing's expression was calm. He took a step forward and stepped onto the stone staircase.

Just as his feet touched the stone steps, Zhou Qing felt an invisible and weak pressure pressing down from above his head.

With a raise of his eyebrows, Zhou Qing started to climb without any hesitation.

With every step he took up the stone step, the pressure became stronger. It was as if Zhou Qing was walking on flat ground as he climbed up to the 50th step. Only then did his figure slow down.

From this point onwards, the pressure from the stone stairs only slightly affected him, causing his movements to become slightly slower.

However, Zhou Qing was able to withstand this level of pressure. Without hesitation, he continued his climb.

Bang, bang, bang.

With every step Zhou Qing took, a muffled sound would echo out. After half an incense stick of time, he arrived at the 100th step.

The 100th step was a huge watershed. Above the 100th step were the participants from the four clans. There were only a few disciples from the hundred clans left. Most of them were still fighting below.

Looking at Zhou Qing's back, most of the people below the 100th step were astounded.

Even the speed of people from the four great families couldn't compare to his. This guy was indeed terrifyingly strong!

Boom.

When Zhou Qingmai reached the 101st step, a pressure that was at least twice as powerful as before suddenly descended, causing his knees to bend slightly.

At this point, the pressure emitted by the stone stairs was equivalent to the full power of a late stage Spirit Realm expert!

Zhou Qingmo activated the Ten Thousand Spirit Codex. As the spiritual energy in his body surged, this pressure was greatly reduced.

A hint of joy appeared on Zhou Qing's face. Without hesitation, he continued climbing upwards.

Dong, dong, dong …

The deep sound of footsteps continuously reverberated through the valley like the rumble of a drum. Although Zhou Qing's movements were much slower, his footsteps did not stop as he continued to advance towards the peak!

One by one, the celestial disciples were overtaken by Zhou Qing. Half an hour later, Zhou Qing reached the 120th step and was at the same level as Zhou Haotian.

Looking at Zhou Qing on the right side of the stairs, Zhou Haotian couldn't help but have a bitter and pained look on his face.

Up till this point, the pressure released by the stone stairs was equivalent to that of a peak Spirit Realm powerhouse releasing all of their energy.

Under this terrifying pressure, Zhou Haotian found it difficult to move a single step. Even lifting his feet consumed a massive amount of spiritual energy and physical strength, and his back was completely soaked in sweat.

On the other hand, Zhou Qing didn't even feel the slightest bit of strain, other than his face turning slightly red.

With such a comparison, it was clear who was the superior one!

In front of them, Li Yinghe, Yuwen Jie, and Luo Yuan also saw Zhou Qing rapidly approaching, and the pressure on them increased.
