Above the source of Tao

At this time, Yun Chang'an was struggling to resist the pressure from the 695th step. Lin Yuan'er stopped at the 693rd step. She no longer had the strength to go any further.

I can't give up just like that, absolutely not. With roars, Yun Chang'an endured the pain of broken bones, lifted his thigh with both hands, and placed it on the 696th step. Suddenly, a strong pressure instantly pressed him to the ground, spitting blood.

"Can not give up!"

Yun Chang'an gritted his teeth, supported himself on the ground with his hands, and forced himself to stand up. He moved his other foot slowly. After a long time, Yun Chang'an put his other leg up, but was knocked to the ground by the pressure. Yun Chang'an fell to the ground and couldn't get up, but he was still practicing Yun Chang'an's skills, trying his best to stay awake.

"Brother Chang'an, give up. You will die if you continue like this." Lin Yuan'er cried with tears in her eyes to Yun Chang'an who was lying on the ground in front of her.

Die? I can't die yet, I still have a lot of things to do. Give up? Why should I give up? There are only three steps left. After these three steps, I can reach the top.

The top is only three steps away from me. If I give up now, what will the hundreds of steps before me mean? I will climb to the top of these three steps even if I die.

"I can't give up yet." Yun Chang'an didn't look back, but responded to Lin Yuan'er faintly.

After saying that, he stopped talking and concentrated on recovering his strength. After an unknown amount of time, Yun Changan's body seemed to have adapted to this step, or perhaps it had become numbed by the pressure of the step and he could no longer feel the pain of the broken bones.

Then, Yun Chang'an used his hands and feet to climb towards the steps in front of him. When he put his hand on the stairs, he felt a pressure different from the one he was under now. This was a pressure with vital energy. As soon as his palm was placed on the stairs, he felt this pressure, with a trace of vital energy going straight into his palm. This reminded Yun Chang'an of the pain he felt when he first bathed in the skin and bone refining soup. The pain penetrated through his skin and went straight into his bones, and it was unstoppable.

"It's far from enough!" Yun Chang'an shouted as he slowly crawled forward. After another cup of tea, he finally climbed onto the stairs. Feeling this kind of Yuan pressure, even breathing became a luxury for Yun Chang'an.

puff......

Unable to hold back for a moment, Yun Chang'an vomited blood and his consciousness began to become blurred. He forced himself to practice his skills, and continuous vital energy came from all around and flowed into Yun Chang'an's body, keeping him awake.

"No destruction, no construction. Let's do it."

Yun Chang'an climbed towards the last two steps in one breath.

"This kid has some perseverance."

Yihong couldn't help being moved when looking at the bronze mirror. The elders also saw this scene and kept praising Yun Changan.

After an incense stick of time, Yun Changan dragged his wounded body and stepped half of his foot onto the last step. In an instant, his foot was broken and Yun Changan fell down.

"Is this really the end of the road?"

Yun Chang'an felt angry and unwilling to accept the situation.

At this time, Yun Chang'an was lying on the ground with anger burning in his eyes. He was unwilling to accept his fate, so he took his grandfather's pill. He was unwilling to see Fairy Shichen leave, so he entered the sect and practiced without thinking. What was he doing? Yun Chang'an now had some answers in his mind.

Looking at the stairs that are so close, I only need half a step to reach the top.

"Just die."

Yun Chang'an let out a long breath, and then without any hesitation, he gathered up his last bit of strength and rushed towards the last step.

Following a cracking sound from outside the secret realm, the large bronze mirror shattered. The elders in front of the bronze mirror were unable to recover for a long time. At this time, a voice came from the crowd.

"Ye Zhang, what happened? Why is this bronze mirror broken?"

Le Zhang heard someone calling him, came back to his senses, looked at the broken bronze mirror and spoke.

"how could I know?"

"Did this guy get on top?"

"Even if I didn't make it, I'm sure I'll be extraordinary in the future if I can step onto the 699th step."

"Yes, he has proved his extraordinaryness."

The elders discussed it privately, but they all had their own plans in mind. When he came out, they would make sure he became their disciple...

Yihong looked at the figure, as if he saw his own great uncle. When he was young, he also witnessed his great uncle paying the same price to enter the 700th step, but he was not as talented and perseverant as his great uncle, so he stopped at the 600th step.

My great-uncle master was only a few years older than me. My father's younger brother had a son in his old age, and later became a disciple of my father's master's master, so he became my great-uncle master.

My great uncle’s name is Yihengzi, who calls himself Lord Nanmu, and he is the most talented person in the family.

At that time, everyone recommended him to be the headmaster, but Yi Hengzi was not interested in this and said to Yi Hong, "I was born between heaven and earth, so I should have heaven and earth in my heart. How can I be confined to a small place by this little way?"

When Yi Hengzi said this to him, Yi Hong was unable to understand the meaning. After declining the position of head sect leader, he left the sect, traveled around, and has not returned yet.

Everyone said that his great-uncle master had died outside, but Yihong didn't believe that such a talented person would die outside.

Yun Chang'an opened his eyes at this time, and Lin Yuan'er was sitting next to him.

"Am I dead?"

He touched his face and felt some pain all over his body. Then a warm spring-like energy came over him, making Yun Changan feel very comfortable and the pain in his body disappeared.

"You're not dead."

A voice came from Yun Chang'an's left ear. Yun Chang'an was startled and turned around to see Lin Yuan'er staring at him with resentful eyes.

"Junior Sister Yuan'er, where is this?"

"In front of the tower door."

Lin Yuan'er complained, and before Yun Chang'an could speak, Lin Yuan'er spoke again.

"Can you please not do such dangerous things in the future?"

Yun Changan wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything, so he just said one sentence slowly.

"Definitely next time."

After a while, thick fog rose in the climbing tower. Yun Chang'an learned from Lin Yuan'er that after climbing 650 steps, one could enter the climbing tower. As for the people who climbed the tower, she didn't know what would happen next.
