413: C413 March to the Top

C413 March to the Top

In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, three kingdoms fought for power. Cao Wei was the most powerful. Cao Mengde led his army to attack the East Wu, which was known as the million water division. The East Wu joined forces with the State of Shu to fight against Cao Wei.

Chou Yu, the governor of the East Wu, had always heard that the Prime Minister of Shu, Zhuge Liang, was a talented man, and he wanted to make things difficult for him by ordering him to produce a hundred thousand arrows within ten days.

Zhuge Liang said that he didn't need ten days, only three days. Then, on a foggy day, he used Cao Mengde's suspicious character to lure the enemy with several grass boats, and finally got more than a hundred thousand arrows.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for the arrows!"

This was what Zhuge Liang had shouted when he had retreated. When Cao Mengde heard this, he was both angry and anxious, so much so that he wanted to vomit blood.

There was an ancient grass boat that borrowed arrows, and now there was a blade given by Zhou Yang. Although there was a slight difference between the two, the result was almost the same. After all, when Zhou Yang saw Chen Long take the blade away, he really spat out blood.

"Many thanks to Prime Minister for the arrows. Haha, this person is really interesting …"

The corners of Zhao Ling'er's mouth curled up as she watched Chen Long's figure gradually disappear behind Jufeng. A trace of a smile flashed across her beautiful eyes. Unknowingly, she had memorized that figure in her heart.

"This young master is so angry!"

Feeling the barely discernible gazes from the surroundings, Zhou Yang's anger reached its peak. However, he was unable to do anything about it. It was as if he was holding back an internal injury. One had to admit that his words were truly too powerful.

"I'm not willing to let him go like this!" Zhou Yang said coldly.

"Brother Zhou, you don't have to do this. We will go up as well. There will be an end to this mountain path. We will meet at the end sooner or later. When that time comes, we will naturally get our revenge." Zhou Tong comforted her.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Zhou Yang gnashed his teeth. He was already impatient, but he did not dare to act on his own. After all, he had seen the strangeness of this space, and he still had to see what the two people next to him said.

Ji Xue raised her head and saw that Chen Long had already disappeared from her line of sight. She then said, "We can go up now, but we still have to be careful!"

"Let's go!"

Zhou Yang waved his hand, and then stepped onto the stairs. He climbed up four or five steps, and after a few twists and turns in the air, his face immediately changed. He was no longer as arrogant as before.

"How can this Master Gan Quan be so powerful? This is too much!" Zhou Yang couldn't help but ask.

Walking along the stairs, Ying Jianxue closed her eyes for a moment, then raised her head and explained, "It is true that Master Gan Quan is very powerful, but the spatial transformations on this absolute mountain is naturally formed, it is not completely man-made, but it is profound enough. When will I be able to reach such a level?"

"Let's talk about this later. Now, quickly move forward and catch up with the green dragon. Kill him. This young master will not tolerate this any longer!" Zhou Yang said gloomily.

"I'm afraid we can't do this anymore!" Cherry Blossom shook her head and said.

"What does this mean?"

"This is a place with thousands of spaces. Every step of the way, everyone is in a different space. Even if I chase up to him, I'm afraid I won't be able to break out of this space and make a move on him."

"We can only reach the end point, we've already made our plans!" Cherry Blossom explained.

"Alright, let's consider him lucky and let him live for a while longer!"

Zhou Yang had no other choice but to forcefully suppress his anger. He lowered his head and continued onward. The crowd behind him followed them as they snaked their way up.

Zhao Ling'er did not fight with Zhou Yang for the order. She had her own plans in mind. Firstly, they had too many people, and secondly, she wanted them to make a trip for her.

"Let's go up as well!"

By now, all of Zhou Yang's faction had already walked up. They nodded at their own troops to follow and then stepped up the stairs as well.

After which, Ren Wuwei, Shen Tianhe, and Ouyang Wei all ascended to the peak. There was no other choice, they were the weakest among the group, and could only choose to be the last to ascend.

One hundred meters.

Two hundred meters.

"..."

Five hundred meters.

Looking down from five hundred meters in the air, the object on the ground had completely turned into a small dot. If it was an ordinary person at this height, they would definitely feel dizzy and dizzy.

The absolute peak was a strange place. Even the pretentious warriors began to fall behind. After all, every 100 meters, their gravity would increase by one fold. The gravity here was five times greater than on the ground.

"As expected of asking for directions to the heart!"

Shaking her head, she said in a soft voice, "Walk all the way up, the further you go, the greater the pressure. Only by harboring a strong will you be able to reach the top."

The heart of a warrior was nothing but willpower. A proud son of the Ji family like Ji Xue and Zhou Yang had undergone training from a young age, so naturally, his willpower was as tough as steel. He would not be afraid of such a test, but not everyone had such willpower.

Master Gan Quan had set up this road of questioning for the sake of his own legacy. In order to ensure that the most qualified person was chosen, he absolutely did not have a shred of compassion.

From five hundred meters up, everyone could only go up and not down. Those who fell behind could only stay in the same place forever and die from exhaustion.

The Jiangnan side was the last to climb the stairs, but they were the first to fall behind. However, there was nothing they could do. They could only bear with it and continue forward.

With Zhao Ling'er leading the group, their strength was quite good. The gravity wasn't too strong even when they were in the middle. It was amazing that no one had fallen behind.

Zhou Yang was in the lead, at least three hundred meters ahead of Zhao Ling'er. Zhou Yang was in the lead, and if it weren't for the fact that he was waiting for the rest of them, he would have already run away.

However, there were already a lot of people who could not hold on to this height and appeared to be extremely exhausted. However, they clenched their teeth and advanced forward step by step, but it still seemed as if they could not keep up and were about to fall behind.

"Ai!"

Zhou Yang let out a sigh and looked back. "Since you've chosen to follow me, I can't just ignore you. I'll help you this once. The rest is up to you!"

With that, he flipped his palm and retrieved a talisman. Activating it with his spiritual power, he waved his hand and several rays of light landed on the people around him. Immediately, they felt a small pressure on them.

These people were both grateful and reverent towards Zhou Yang. Many of them directly kneeled down to proclaim their allegiance, then stood up and silently followed behind him.

Seeing this scene, Cherry Blossom's eyes flashed. She subconsciously looked at Xue Yi and discovered that there was a hint of strangeness in her eyes. She then looked at these people with pity in her eyes and stopped paying attention to them.

"A bunch of idiots, I hope a few can come with me!"

Zhou Yang mocked in his heart as he walked at the forefront. The talisman in his hand just now was specially prepared to withstand all sorts of pressure. It just so happened to be in use.

It seemed like he was using talismans to help those people relieve the pressure. But in reality, that was only a small part of it. It wasn't even 10%. The effect of surpassing 90% was being used on him.

First, it was a sentence filled with compassion from the heavens, and then it was followed by a small favor. This made these people feel deeply grateful. It had to be said that Zhou Yang had played this hand beautifully.

With this checkpoint, even if there were thousands of soldiers, it would still be useless. He had to climb up one by one, and with the previous obstacles in the forest, in the end, only a few people would be able to reach the destination.

Eight hundred meters.

A thousand meters.

Two thousand meters.

"..."

He looked up and saw that the peak of the mountain was completely hidden within the clouds, as if there was no end to it. Below him was fog, and the ground was hazy, making it hard to see.

"Strange, why haven't we met that damned fellow yet?" Zhou Yang couldn't help but frown.1

After hearing what he said, the crowd recalled that the azure dragon did not leave first. However, with their full strength, they could not even see a shadow. Could it be that the azure dragon's speed was even faster than theirs?

"I don't know. This place is strange, but it's hard to tell if there are any other changes!" Cherry Snow could only reply in this manner.

"Be careful!"

Although Zhou Yang's heart was still filled with curiosity, he didn't ask any more questions and continued walking forward.

In fact, their guess was right. Chen Long was indeed much faster than them. At this moment, Chen Long was already a thousand meters ahead of them.

However, after reaching 3000 meters, Chen Long's speed slowed down. The gravity here was 30 times that of the ground. Although he had a strong body, he still felt a bit tired. After all, even the dragon race couldn't hold out for so long.

"I can't stop. Although it's a bit dangerous, it's also a chance to hone my strength. I can't miss out on a chance to become stronger!"

It was as if he was carrying a huge mountain on his back. If this was any other God Realm or some other God Realm person who didn't use his spiritual energy, he would have been unable to walk under this kind of pressure, and he was relying entirely on his physical body to support himself.

Three thousand meters.

Four kilometers.

Five thousand meters!

Under fifty times the gravity, Chen Long's body would emit creaking sounds with every step he took. He would then heavily gasp for breath, which was very difficult.

However, he also obtained incalculable benefits. Under the boundless gravity, the Spiritual Energy within Chen Long's body blended even more perfectly with his flesh and bones, becoming even more tenacious.

Even so, he still had not reached his limit. He had a feeling that as long as he persevered, he would be able to complete a magnificent transformation!
