Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Chapter 474: Steps to the Great Dao

Under Lu Xunhuan's feet, the lotus blossomed with golden light.

The divine bow in his hand seemed to be drinking the scorching sun, and the vibration of the bowstring caused ripples to spread out in the space.

The magic bow transformed from the Precious Lotus Lantern already had ten times the power, and now it had an additional thirty percent of its sharpness due to the breakthrough of the contracted Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox.

In the past, such an arrow filled with the power of the stars would be enough to penetrate any monster in the Nine-Layered Demon Tower, but now, facing this powerful fox demon suppressed by the spirit of the ancient god, cold sweat was already oozing from his palms.

"break!"

The thunder strikes and the bowstring is shocked, and the arrow shoots out like a dragon.

The arrow pierced through the void with the force of collapsing mountains and splitting seas.

However, such a powerful arrow shattered when it touched the fox demon's ear just three inches away.

In the golden light, the powerful fox demon laughed wildly towards the sky, and its red tail stirred up the blood cloud.

"You little brats, with your insignificant cultivation, are you worthy enough to challenge my immortal Dharma body?"

Lu Xunhuan clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, and glanced at the steps behind him.

The ninety-nine steps of the avenue were emitting chaotic energy, and the black mist floating above the steps was like a thorn in the flesh.

It is precisely because of the ironclad evidence that this powerful demon clan covets the way of heaven and pollutes the origin.

"Owner……"

Xiao Jiu transformed into a girl in plain clothes, with moonlight condensing from her fingertips, and the clear light continuously poured into his spiritual platform.

"Combining the power of our origins..."

The moment the second arrow left the bow, the long river of time and space was torn into a crack!

The arrow was wrapped in blue and white Taoist patterns, and wherever it passed, the void collapsed into a black hole.

The red pupils of the powerful demon clan member suddenly shrank. Under the critical hit of the divine arrow, cracks appeared on his Dharma image for the first time, but they healed in an instant and he was safe and sound.

"Interesting! I'd like to see how many arrows you can shoot."

The sigh of the White Tiger God echoed from the sky, the sound like rolling thunder: "Young man, this beast has repeatedly stolen the power of the twenty-ninth level of the Great Dao. You can't destroy him for the time being..."

Before he finished speaking, black fog suddenly surged up on the steps of the avenue, reaching out towards the two of them like thousands of devil's claws.

Lu Xunhuan protected Xiaojiu behind him with his backhand, his green Taoist robe fluttering in the wind.

The water on the avenue unfolded again, and heavy rain poured down.

The vortex of evil spirit quickly dissipated under the heavy rain.

The fox demon burst into laughter.

"You ignorant ant, you want to hurt me?"

Lu Xunhuan was ashamed.

The combined efforts of the two only slightly shook the other party. The powerful fox demon had repeatedly stolen the power of the twenty-ninth level. How much was that?

He looked at the stairs again: "Senior, we are too weak to destroy him for the time being. Please wait while we climb the stairs."

The voice from before sighed: "Forget it, forget it, go ahead."

"However, if your Dao heart is polluted by demonic energy, it will affect your nature in the future. If the consequences are serious, you will fall into the devil's way, become bloodthirsty and murderous, bring disaster to all living beings, and eventually become the target of public criticism."

Lu Xun Huan put away the divine bow: "As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will? Senior, wait until I improve my strength, then I will come to save you."

He turned around with Xiaojiu and walked towards the stairs.

The fox demon let out a sinister laugh: "Hahaha..."

Creepy.

About a hundred steps later, Lu Xunhuan brought Xiaojiu to the bottom of the stairs.

The stairs contain infinite power, and the feeling becomes more and more obvious.

He said to Xiaojiu, "Xiaojiu, follow me and climb together. Let's strive for further breakthroughs."

Xiaojiu nodded: "Okay, thank you, Master."

At this time, the voice of the White Tiger God rang out: "The steps of the Great Dao are ninety-nine in total. Every step you take will bring you strength, but to achieve the Dao, you must climb at least thirty steps."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "What about levels above 30?"

White Tiger God said: "The stages of the Great Dao are divided into the human stage, the earth stage, and the heaven stage."

"Climbing the thirty steps will grant you the path to the human stage. After attaining the path, you will undergo a thunder tribulation. If you succeed, you will become a god. If you fail, your path to godhood will be cut short, but you can still become a saint."

"A loser can never move forward."

“Successful people can choose to continue or give up.”

Lu Xunhuan asked, "What if we continue?"

The White Tiger God said, "If you continue to ascend, you will gain a certain amount of power with each step. If you can reach the sixtieth step, you will obtain the Dao of the Earth Stage. After obtaining the Dao of the Earth Stage, you will experience even more intense thunder tribulations."

"If the thunder tribulation succeeds, your strength will rise to a higher level and you will gain the inheritance of the Great Dao, but if it fails, you will be reduced to ashes."

Lu Xun Huan stroked his chin and said, "This is a bit cruel. If I fail, I will die."

He asked, "If we succeed, and continue upwards, will we reach the Heavenly Stage?"

White Tiger God said, "Yes, if you continue to move forward, you will gain power with each step. If you reach the top, you will obtain the Way of the Heavenly Stage. After obtaining the Way of the Heavenly Stage, you will face the ultimate thunder tribulation."

"If one successfully survives the thunder tribulation, one can achieve peak strength in the divine realm and gain the ultimate secrets of the Great Dao. However, if one fails, one will similarly die and be reduced to ashes."

After listening to this, Lu Xun Huan nodded and said, "Okay, let's give it a try."

He pulled Xiaojiu's hand: "Xiaojiu, let's go."

They both took steps at the same time, placing their right feet on the first step.

As he took a step forward, the golden steps roared.

The originally simple stone steps suddenly turned into a sword tomb, and countless phantoms of ancient famous swords rose from the earth to the sky.

Wherever Lu Xunhuan's toes reached, the Qingping sword intent bloomed like a lotus.

The nine-tailed shadow around Xiaojiu became three times more solid.

The stairs, which originally looked like ordinary stone steps, have now turned golden.

What appeared before the two of them were ninety-nine golden steps from top to bottom.

After feeling the sensation for a moment, they both stepped onto the stairs with their left feet.

As soon as both of them stepped onto the stairs, a force immediately came from the soles of their feet and was injected into their bodies.

At the same time, a voice like a loud bell rang in the ears of the two.

"Follow my sword path and become a Sword Immortal, Sword God, or Sword Emperor. Young generation, it depends on your luck."

The vast sound of Tao descended from the sky.

Lu Xunhuan only felt that a sword embryo in the purple palace suddenly emitted a faint dragon roar.

He was quite surprised.

What, this is a sword path?

As soon as he took the first step, a sword embryo appeared out of thin air in his body?

Simply unheard of.

He looked up at the sky and asked the White Tiger Lord, "Lord, do you know that this is the way of the sword?"

White Tiger God said, "Of course I know that I have the sword here. Besides, I have seen that fox demon climbing the stairs over and over again."

Lu Xun Huan asked again, "Are there any rules for the demon race to climb the stairs?"

White Tiger God said: "For members of the demon world, the 29th level is the limit. They can only steal some power from the Great Dao, and it is impossible for them to gain the Dao."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Okay, I understand."

The White Tiger God continued, "You and your spirit pet should climb at the same time. If she can reach the 29th step, she should not go any further."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Why?"

The White Tiger God said, "The same path can only be obtained by one person. She is now a divine beast, not a demonic beast, and is not restricted to the twenty-ninth step. If you two climb to the 30th step at the same time, who is seeking the path, you or her?"

Lu Xunhuan nodded again: "I understand."

In his eyes, there was a faint black air floating on the golden avenue. He knew that it was the evil energy that polluted the avenue.

There was also a faint black mist floating around the feet of the two people.

Lu Xun Huan took a quick look and asked Xiao Jiu, "How do you feel?"

Xiaojiu replied: "There is pressure, but I can still bear it."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Then continue."

The two held hands and went up to the second step.

After the two of them put their feet firmly on the ground, the power of the Great Dao entered their bodies from the soles of their feet.

Suddenly, golden light shone from Xiaojiu's body and shot straight into the sky.

Bathed in golden light, she said in surprise, "I've broken through to level fourteen."

Lu Xunhuan immediately read the updated information of the spirit pet.

"Mount name: Nine-tailed Fox."

"Mount level: Level 14."

"Mount speed: Level 10."

"Mount attack power: Level 14."

"Mount defense: Level 14."

"The mount and its master share the same attribute: immortality."

"The mount brings the owner the following attribute: The owner's original defense is increased by 300%."

"The mount brings the owner the second attribute: the owner's original attack power is increased by 300%."

"The mount brings the master the third attribute: the master's cultivation speed increases by 200%."

"The mount brings the owner the fourth attribute: critical hit resistance, full."

By the time he finished reading the pet's attributes, Xiaojiu had completed his breakthrough and the golden light on his body had disappeared.

He pulled Xiaojiu's hand and said, "Continue."

Lu Xunhuan held Xiaojiu's slightly trembling fingertips tightly, raised his foot and stepped on the surging black fog, which was sometimes thin and sometimes thick.

On the 29th step, a blood-red sword piercing heaven and earth stood majestically, the chains wrapped around the sword crumbling inch by inch as they climbed...
