Chapter 177: Deep Love Between Taoist Companions
Some new changes have taken place on the stone steps leading to the top of the peak .
The young master of Kunlun and the saint of Xuanyin Sect were of one mind and supported each other as they moved forward step by step to higher stone steps. They were not stopped by the elders and this also attracted others to follow suit.
On the mountain road, the crowd that had been stable showed signs of moving again.
Some of the fellow disciples who were familiar with each other even worked together in groups of three or five to resist the pressure and move easily on the stone steps.
"this……"
"It's a mess, everything is a mess!"
"No, we can't go on like this!"
…
Such incidents had never occurred in previous competitions for the Nine Netherworld Ranking. In such a serious occasion, even if there was no specific rule prohibiting cooperation, everyone was very conscious and had never encountered a situation where a couple had a deep affection for each other.
However, considering the subsequent reactions they caused, if they are not stopped, the battle for the Nine Nether List will be completely messed up.
Without asking for instructions, the Nascent Soul Masters of each sect who were in charge of this matter quickly made a decision.
A Yuanying ancestor of the Soul Refining Sect flew over the peak and spoke in a deep voice that echoed throughout the entire mountain: "You all must ascend the stairs on your own and are not allowed to seek help from others. Anyone who violates this rule will be disqualified."
As soon as he finished speaking, the geniuses who were still looking for helpers immediately gave up the idea.
Those who had already joined hands to climb the stairs also let go at the first opportunity.
However, the pressure was even stronger at the higher stone steps, and without anyone to help them resist the pressure, they were unable to stand still and kept retreating. Under the influence of inertia, they even retreated below the stone steps they had just climbed, and immediately regretted it.
The five people from the Tiandao Sect at the front were relieved when they saw this.
If these elders of the demonic sect did not impose any restrictions, they also planned to retreat to the same stone steps and advance and retreat together.
Li Yu and Nangong Chan supported each other and climbed up a step, but were stopped.
Seeing Li Yu standing here steadily, Nangong Chan finally couldn't help asking, "What is your cultivation level?"
Li Yu said: "About the same as you."
Nangong Chan widened her eyes and asked, "Why are you so fast?"
The Heavenly Spiritual Vein is the limit of the speed of cultivation. In a place like the Xuanyin Sect where the spiritual energy is thin, without the help of demon pills, it takes almost five years to go from the first to the second level of the Golden Pill. And this is just one spiritual vein.
She was able to reach her current level of cultivation because her two heavenly spiritual veins could absorb spiritual energy between heaven and earth on their own. She only needed to cultivate the other three.
Li Yu had just formed his elixir not long ago and he didn't have any spiritual veins, but he had already caught up with her and Qin Keren.
Li Yu shrugged and said, "I am an alchemist. It is not difficult to exchange the Golden Spirit Pill for some low-level demon pills. What's more, I also have the Martial Arts Golden Pill. The Martial Arts Golden Pill is very effective in resisting the pressure of this kind of magic power."
Nangong Chan moved her lips, but was speechless for a moment.
Other alchemists may not have extra pills, but Li Yu has so many high-level pills that they can’t be given away all.
However, his cultivation level improved so quickly that she still felt disappointed.
It was she who brought Li Yu into the world of immortal cultivation. Over the past few years, the only way she could save face in front of him was through her cultivation. But now even this only advantage no longer exists. She has nothing to be proud of in front of him.
Li Yu looked up and saw that they were about ten steps away from the last person of Tiandao Sect.
There are about twenty steps away from the person in front of Tiandao Sect.
Several people seemed to have reached their limits. They took out their pills, took them, and then sat cross-legged to rest.
Nangong Chan also looked up, with a look of unwillingness to admit defeat on her face. She took another step forward and stood on a new layer of stone steps.
Li Yu guessed that the Tianling Vein seemed to have a certain resistance to this kind of pressure.
He followed immediately.
After all, her magic power was not as strong as those people's. When she crossed each stone step, she had to use all her magic power to resist. She couldn't even take the pills.
Just like that, Nangong Chan took a step, and Li Yu took a step. He did not help her, but just fed her a pill from time to time, or helped her tidy up her messy hair.
To others, it seems like the wife is following the husband's lead.
Not many people were paying attention to the people from the Tiandao Sect anymore. The Demonic Sect disciples who were watching were all focusing on the two people who were moving slowly.
In the eyes of the Holy Maiden of Xuanyin Sect, there seemed to be only stone steps, and she was trying hard to climb them.
But in the eyes of Kunlun's young master, it seemed that there was only her.
He had been following behind her silently, and when she was concentrating on climbing the stairs and had no time to care about other things, he served as her strongest support, gave her pills to restore her magic power, and helped her tuck her messy hair behind her ears.
Many disciples of the demon sect seemed to understand something in their hearts.
No wonder she has always been cold towards men. No matter how outstanding a genius is, he is not as good as the Holy Maiden of Xuanyin Sect who can catch her eye. She will eventually be attracted to him. He is beautiful, has a high talent for cultivation, can make pills, cook, and dress up. How can a normal female cultivator not be moved by such a gentle and considerate person?
Some female practitioners of the evil sect simply put themselves in the position of the Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Sect, and they can't help but feel a sweet feeling in their hearts.
With a Taoist companion like this, immortality doesn't seem so important anymore.
The male practitioners of the magic path were also thoughtful.
Why can't they marry the beauty? Putting aside talent and alchemy, who among them can do what Li Yu did?
Li Yu accompanied the demon girl all the way and had already surpassed four disciples of the Tiandao Sect.
There was only one person in front of her.
Just one degree difference.
Although it was only one step away, Li Yu could see that the witch had reached her limit.
The Tianlingmai's immunity to pressure is not infinite. Almost every time she reaches a higher level, her magic power will be exhausted. If she does not replenish it in time, she will not even be able to maintain her current position.
If it were someone else, they would have given up by now.
But she still didn't stop.
Li Yu had to admire her perseverance in this regard.
When the magic powers are similar, how far you can go in the end depends on the breath in your chest.
Li Yu looked at Nangong Chan, whose body was already trembling slightly, and asked, "Do you want to continue?"
Nangong Chan bit her lip. She was unwilling to admit defeat and of course did not want to give up. However, the pressure here made it very difficult for her just to stand there. This step was already a natural barrier for her.
She shook her head and sat cross-legged on the stone steps.
Then, she glanced at Li Yu and said, "You go up alone."
She could see that Li Yu still had some strength left.
Li Yu also sat cross-legged and said, "I'll stay here with you."
The position here is not the final ranking. To be precise, as long as you enter the top 20, you will get a chance to challenge. It makes no difference whether you are first or tenth.
Nangong Chan took a pill to restore her strength and said, "I don't want the people of Tiandao Sect to be first."
Li Yu looked at her and had to stand up again.
He took a step forward slowly and soon appeared on the next level of stone steps.
Nangong Chan looked at Li Yu, who was one step away from her, and felt mixed emotions.
The scenes at Baiyun Temple reappeared before her eyes.
He didn't know when he no longer needed her protection.
This made her feel lost.
There was also a burst of discussion among the demon disciples around this peak.
This battle for the Nine Netherworld Ranking made them truly realize the gap between them and the righteous.
The three most outstanding geniuses of the demonic path were left far behind. Even the Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Sect, whose talent was rare in a thousand years, was left behind by the people of the Tiandao Sect and Kunlun.
Li Yu glanced at the disciple of Tiandao Sect who was sitting cross-legged on this step. This person was indeed very powerful. He had five spiritual veins of golden elixir. In addition to the fire spiritual vein which had reached nine turns, the water spiritual vein also had two turns.
As for Ouyang Long and the other several golden elixirs, they did not continue to practice.
Generally, after the Jindan stage, no one would deliberately practice other spiritual veins. No wonder this person can withstand the pressure here and is several levels higher than others.
Li Yu just glanced at him and prepared to go up another step.
But his actions made this Tiandao Sect disciple feel pressured.
He also didn't want to come in second.
No one will remember the second.
He had rested long enough, so he slowly stood up and walked towards the next step.
But he still underestimated the gap between the two levels. After taking a step forward, not only did he fail to climb up, but he was instead backfired by the pressure from above. He flew back three levels and was even two levels lower than Nangong Chan.
This scene not only stunned Li Yu for a moment, but also the surrounding disciples of the Demonic Path were stunned for a moment.
This genius from the Tiandao Sect obviously had no experience in competing for the Jiuyou List, and he actually tried to challenge his limits when the time for climbing the stairs was almost up.
There was not much time left and it was almost impossible for him to go back.
The Young Master of Kunlun is currently ranked first on the Jiuyou List, the Saintess of Xuanyin Sect is ranked second, and the third to seventh are disciples of Tiandao Sect, Ouyang Long, Liu Yang, and Qin Song, who are at the end of the top ten.
But the next moment, the crowd was in an uproar again.
Li Yu, who was already at the first place on the stone steps, actually took the initiative to walk back to the first step and came to the side of the Holy Maiden of Xuanyin Sect.
Nangong Chan looked at Li Yu and asked in astonishment: "What are you doing?"
Li Yu shrugged and said, "I don't like being on top. The pressure from that position is too strong and it's not comfortable..."
…
Below this peak, after a brief period of silence, the atmosphere became boiling .
"I see!"
"So what if I'm number one? Of course it's not as important as being with my Taoist partner."
"I finally understand why I don't have a Taoist partner yet."
"This is the deep love between Taoist couples. If I were Miss Nangong, I would also be willing to bear children for him, no matter how many children he has!"
…
At the same time, Kunlun Cave Heaven.
On top of a mountain.
Wu Tong held a spiritual conch in his hand and said excitedly to the disciples who were watching him, "The latest news is that the Young Master and the Saintess of Xuanyin Sect are temporarily tied for first place on the Nine Nether List. It is said that the Saintess of Xuanyin Sect already has the Young Master's child... a boy on the left, a girl on the right, and twins in the middle. Everyone, hurry up and place your bets, bet on it..."
