Ever since they stepped onto the five thousand steps, beads of sweat began to form on the faces of Zhao Min, Shen Luoyan, and Zhong Ling. Only Chu Ming still maintained his original appearance, indicating that the current level of gravity could not cause him any trouble.
"If I feel the speed is fast now, I can go slower."
"Don't worry, sir, I don't have any problems with the current gravity. I just don't know what the situation will be like on the next thousand steps."
Shen Luoyan responded to Chu Ming easily.
"Sir, I have no problem. I guess Xiaobai can't hold on anymore."
Chu Ming looked behind. The Thunder Cloud Beast was accompanying the Lightning Mink. Although it was hard work, they did not fall behind.
"Xiaobai should be at his limit when he reaches level 6,000. At that time, you should put it back into the beast bag to avoid damaging its foundation."
Although gravity tempering is good, it should not exceed one's ability, otherwise it will have the opposite effect. As if he heard Chu Ming's conversation, Xiaobai's proud eyes revealed a firm look.
This time everyone's speed became even slower, and it took almost twice as long as the other thousand steps to reach the six thousandth step.
"Wait a minute, I'm in charge of the rear. There's no need for everyone to go together. We can act separately according to everyone's abilities."
When Chu Ming said this, the three of them remained silent.
I don’t know how many steps there are ahead. Everyone’s realm is different, and their ability to cope with gravity is naturally different. If we walk together, it will be the worst choice for the entire team. After all, not everyone has the same problem. With such a strong physique, Ming completely ignores the influence of gravity.
"In this case, Min'er will take the first step and take good care of Sister Shen."
After Zhao Min finished speaking, she stepped onto the six thousandth step. Her Martial Emperor realm was originally the highest among everyone, but the pressure brought by gravity on her now was not strong.
The second person on the road was Zhong Ling. She put Xiao Bai, who still wanted to persevere, into the beast bag, and continued walking up with Xiao Lan.
"Sister Shen, we are waiting for you at the front."
Seeing Zhong Ling's back, Shen Luoyan said with emotion, "I didn't expect that I would become the person in the team who needs to be taken care of."
"Everyone has his or her own opportunities. Luoyan, you are just accumulating."
"I also feel that way."
After saying that, Shen Luoyan chuckled to herself.
The beautiful military advisor is still so confident and wise!
"Let's go too."
"Master, please!"
Shen Luoyan still looked naughty.
When you step onto the six thousandth step, the gravity increases to one hundred and twenty-eight times.
At this moment, Chu Ming sensed the joyful mood of the Chongming Bird, indicating that it had successfully reached the summit.
"What's wrong, Master?"
"Xiaohong passed the test."
"Really? Luoyan is really afraid that these steps have no end. It's better now."
Chu Ming adjusted his speed according to her breathing, and soon Zhao Min disappeared from his sight. After a while, even Ling'er could not be seen.
When they arrived at the 7,000 steps, they saw no sign of the two of them.
"It seems that the two sisters don't need to rest at all. They just did it to take care of my feelings."
After seeing Chu Ming looking at her, Shen Luoyan continued, "But I really need to rest and adjust my condition to increase the possibility of reaching the summit."
After saying that, he started meditating to restore his energy.
Among the three, Shen Luoyan's maturity reassured Chu Ming the most, and his mind was also the most determined and would not change the correct approach due to external factors.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Luoyan returned to her peak state and looked at Chu Ming with a sweet smile. Before she could say anything, Chu Ming said first, "This time, you will take the lead."
"good."
After saying that, he stepped on the seven thousandth step, and the gravity increased to two hundred and fifty-six times.
Then came the eight thousand steps, the nine thousand steps, and now the gravity has increased to one thousand and twenty times. After Xiaohong, Zhao Min and Zhong Ling have both successfully reached the summit, and under heavy pressure, their realm has improved.
Zhong Ling, a girl who was about to give up, successfully promoted to Emperor Wu in one go and passed the test.
Chu Ming also received news from Zhao Min that there were 9999 steps in total, and they were less than 700 steps away from passing the test.
However, the situation of Shen Luoyan in front of her was not optimistic. She was now completely soaked, and her curves were outlined, which made Chu Ming, who was walking behind, a little distraught.
The design of the gravity ladder is very strict. You can only recover your physical strength at the end of each section of gravity. If you meditate in the middle, you will be kicked out of the test by the first person.
Every step Shen Luoyan takes now is extremely difficult. After all, the gravity is now as high as one thousand and twenty times. For the Martial Emperor warrior, this is an almost impossible task.
Chu Ming did not persuade Shen Luoyan to give up, but silently protected her and continued moving forward.
If she really couldn't hold on any longer, Chu Ming would carry her on his back and climb to the top together.
Time passed little by little, and Shen Luoyan's speed became slower and slower. Chu Ming could even notice that her legs began to tremble slightly.
There is no distinction between day and night in the secret realm, and no one knows how much time has passed. There are less than a hundred steps left in front of them.
They could already see Zhao Min and Zhong Ling waiting there anxiously, but Shen Luoyan's body had begun to shake, and it felt like a gust of wind could blow her down.
But she still insisted on moving forward independently.
"ah--"
After Shen Luoyan let out an angry roar, he stepped onto the front steps. Chu Ming saw a clear bloody footprint left on it.
As if the roar gave her some kind of power, she stepped upward continuously, leaving a long series of bright red footprints behind her, which was shocking.
Perhaps due to the formation, the sounds from outside could not penetrate the stairs. Although Zhao Min and Zhong Ling could clearly be seen opening their mouths for encouragement, no sound could be heard.
Shen Luoyan, a normally dignified beauty, was now panting like an ox. She was no longer able to turn around and talk to Chu Ming. Instead, she faced the front and said, "Sir, go ahead."
Chu Ming walked past her, crossed the front steps, and walked in front of her.
"I believe you can!"
Hearing Chu Ming's words, Shen Luoyan smiled. Although his face was covered with sweat, it did not affect his reputation as "Shen Yu Luoyan" at all.
Seeing Chu Ming's back, Shen Luoyan seemed to be filled with strength again, and her footsteps began to move with Chu Ming's.
Just like this, walking up slowly but firmly, Shen Luoyan had only one thought in his mind, to follow the young master closely and not to let his back disappear from sight.
It was during this process that Shen Luoyan made a breakthrough. She didn't even notice it. All her energy was now focused on that figure.
Chu Ming smiled happily.
Although the realm has been broken through, Shen Luoyan is now like a bloody person, and all the blood vessels in her body have been broken.
The yellow dress had been completely dyed red, and her whole body seemed to be wrapped in a cocoon of blood.
Finally, their feet felt soft, and the two of them successfully passed the test.
Zhao Min and Zhong Ling rushed forward, but were stopped by Chu Ming.
"Don't touch her."
Chu Ming took out the healing elixir and handed it to Shen Luoyan.
"Never fall asleep, meditate and use Qi to heal your injuries."
After Shen Luoyan took the elixir, she began to meditate and adjust her breath. After her breath stabilized, Chu Ming began to look at the surrounding environment.
He was immediately shocked by the sight in front of him!
Chu Ming has seen countless natural beauties and great buildings, but he has never seen a masterpiece that combines the two so perfectly.
There are countless magnificent palaces located behind the gravity staircase, and each palace is connected by a beautiful garden.
The entire Heavenly Palace is divided into eight floors. The closer you get to the top, the fewer the palaces are, but they are also more exquisite.
What surprised Chu Ming even more was that each floor of the Heavenly Palace was suspended in the air. If you want to enter the palace on the upper floor, you must fly.
Seeing this, Chu Ming would even think that he had traveled to the fairy world!
"Although I can't quite understand it, the layout of the entire Tiangong is a large formation, and each level of the palace has its own independent formation. Moreover, these small formations are combined to form the current large formation."
Zhao Min reported to Chu Ming with great interest, and you could tell by the look in her eyes how excited she was now.
"Brother, I feel a familiar atmosphere right here."
Xiaohong pointed in the direction of Tiangong and told her feelings about it with some confusion.
The Chongming Bird indeed comes from the Heavenly Palace.
Seeing everything in front of him, as well as the gravity ladder he had just experienced, Chu Ming had a deep question in his heart: "Does the Heavenly Palace really belong to the Mountains and Seas Continent?"
According to the records of the major sects, no one has entered here for more than 100,000 years, but both the gravity ladder and the macroscopic buildings in front of us are spotless.
Is it necessary for a force with a secret realm to plot against the sects of the Mountains and Seas Continent?
Looking at the palaces that could be suspended in the air, Chu Ming's doubts became stronger.
"Sir, I am also the Martial Emperor."
Zhong Ling came up at this time and interrupted Chu Ming's thoughts.
"Congratulations, the young master will have to rely on you to protect him in the future."
"If anyone makes the young master unhappy, Ling'er will definitely help him."
Zhong Ling became even happier after receiving Chu Ming's affirmation.
Zhao Min also broke through a small level.
Chu Ming also advanced from the stage of Empress Wu to the Great Consummation of Emperor Wu.
As long as you pass the test of the gravity ladder, you can seem to be able to move up a small level. Of course, this will vary from person to person.
At this time, Shen Luoyan also completed her performance. She broke through from a warrior in the middle stage of the Martial Emperor to the Great Perfection of the Martial Emperor. She was the one who had improved the most among all the people.
Through everyone's performance, Chu Ming determined that it is best to have the Martial Emperor realm to test the gravity ladder.
If it weren't for the fact that they had strengthened their bodies by practicing the "Wild Desolate Jue", they would never have been able to pass the test in the Martial Emperor realm.
"What kind of freaks are you, how could you pass the Heavenly Stairway so easily?"
At some point, an old man with a white beard appeared next to them without anyone noticing.
