Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 139 Climbing to the top
The journey to the summit began. Lu Ming stood at the foot of the mountain and stepped forward one step at a time.

His body was covered in thick armor, and the mask on his face gleamed with a cold light.

Each step was firm and very fast.

Before I knew it, I had already walked a hundred steps.

At this moment, people around had already begun to fall.

Everyone began to feel the pressure; the path to the summit was shrouded in mystery, and every step they took was fraught with difficulty.

It seems there are countless obstacles.

It felt as if an extra thousand pounds had been added to my shoulders.

Someone was panting, with sweat pouring down their forehead.

Some people's legs were trembling.

It seemed like it could fall at any moment.

Lu Ming naturally felt the pressure as well, but he simply stepped forward one step at a time.

These initial obstacles did not stop him from moving forward.

Looking around, one could see that quite a few people had begun to fall, and the fall had now reached three hundred paces.

Beads of sweat appeared on Liu Xuan's forehead.

She is determined to persevere; her goal for this trip is 800 steps.

Only in this way can one barely be worthy of being called the Daoist Master of the Heavenly Pivot.

The generals under Lu Ming's command were able to hold on.

Wu Han continued to stride forward.

It's clear that he has considerable potential and should be able to continue climbing for quite some time to come.

Lu Shi's steps were the heaviest, yet he still bravely stepped forward.

However, people like Miao Feng were somewhat lacking.

At the 500-step mark, he seemed to have exhausted himself.

On the sea, the disciples and experts from various sects watched from afar.

At this moment, someone spoke up.

“This time, some people with good potential have already gone through four hundred steps, and some of them haven’t even used their full strength yet.”

"I guess the first place winner this time might be able to take 1,500 steps."

"I heard that Tian Shu Dao Zi's concubine is also climbing up there. I wonder how many steps she can take."

Whispers continued.

Tian Shu Dao Zi's face remained expressionless.

Let others climb as they please.

They are all just following in their own footsteps upwards.

It's impossible to surpass yourself.

Therefore, he simply watched all of this indifferently.

As for Liu Xuan, she was just a plaything he found out of boredom.

For him, it was irrelevant.

At that moment, Lu Ming had already climbed more than 600 steps and was looking at the sparse figures.

Many people fell, but they also received rewards.

Having reached this point, the reward is already quite substantial.

Although they fell, some people had smiles on their faces.

This result has clearly satisfied them.

At this moment, Lu Ming finally exerted his strength.

Behind him, the phantom images of dragons and elephants appeared with each step he took.

The ground seemed to be shaking.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at Qianbu.

Then he saw a figure, a woman in a long red dress. Although her body was trembling, she took each step with unusual determination.

When Lu Ming overtook his opponent like a gust of wind.

The woman looked surprised.

Then, gritting her teeth, she continued forward after glancing at Lu Ming's receding figure.

As soon as Liu Xuan landed, she heard gasps of surprise around her.

"Someone has surpassed Fairy Fuyao of Yaoguang Sect, crossing a thousand steps in such a short time."

When Liu Xuan looked over, she indeed saw a figure climbing upwards at a very fast speed, appearing and disappearing in the clouds.

Having just descended from the mountain peak, she naturally knew how difficult it was to climb it.

Then, he sighed.

There's no way to compare the talents of different people.

However, although she did not achieve her goal, walking five hundred steps was not bad, and she was quite satisfied.

At this time, Lu Ming had already climbed 1,500 steps.

But so far, his potential has still not been brought out.

The power of his physical body alone easily dissolved the oppressive aura.

Therefore, he couldn't help but speed up.

A mysterious light shone beneath my feet, and a gentle breeze blew.

Before I knew it, when I looked down, I realized that there seemed to be very few climbers left.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the various sects swallowed hard as they looked at the figure above their heads.

One of the sect disciples couldn't help but say, "That person on the mountain has already walked more than 2,100 steps. Could he break the record of the Heavenly Pivot Daoist?"

"Judging from his undiminished climbing speed, it's hard to say," someone nearby responded.

They looked equally surprised.

Obviously, no one expected that a dark horse would emerge this time.

Bai Fu stood below, his eyes filled with excitement, not only because the reward he received would allow him to successfully enter the Purple Mansion realm.

Another reason is that he knows in his heart that the figure ranked first on the mountain right now is Lu Ming.

If in the past, there was some resistance in my heart to joining Lu Ming's side...

That's no longer available.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that he can climb two thousand steps already demonstrates his extraordinary potential.

It would be an honor for me to be able to follow the other party.

The generals under Lu Ming's command were also filled with excitement.

Besides Lu Ming, Lu Shi and Xiao Lin are also still on the mountain, but the two of them are only about a thousand steps away.

But such a result is still excellent enough.

Outside the island, some sect experts also showed solemnity in their eyes.

Lu Ming's climbing speed was also beyond their expectations.

I never expected that such a person would appear this time.

They all involuntarily looked at Tian Shu Dao Zi.

The other party remained calm.

Clearly, he was very confident and believed that Lu Ming could not possibly surpass him.

But, at this time.

One of the Daoists spoke up, "He's accelerated again!"

When the sound rang out, everyone looked over and saw that Lu Ming had indeed accelerated again.

It's so much faster than before.

In the blink of an eye, it reached 2,500 steps, 2,600 steps, and 2,700 steps.
When you reach three thousand steps.

There was no sound around Penglai Immortal Island.

Everyone watched Lu Ming climb silently.

Tian Shu Dao Zi clenched his hand without anyone noticing.

Unbeknownst to them, the seawater beneath their feet began to churn and splash.

Clearly, his mind was in turmoil. Liu Xuan stood on the immortal island, muttering, "This is impossible!"

But looking at that figure, I knew in my heart that I wasn't dreaming, that it was all real.

Lu Ming's pace quickened at this moment.

It only slowed down slightly when it reached 6,000 steps.

"Boom!" But the next moment, energy erupted from his body.

A phantom image of a dragon and an elephant appeared behind them.

This moment increased his speed once again.

"My God, he was climbing using only his physical body! Which sect does he come from?" someone exclaimed.

"Can this person reach the summit?" A female disciple from the sect asked, her eyes gleaming.

She was slender and her face was full of excitement.

This is a young prodigy from a major sect.

At this moment, he looked at Lu Ming with boundless admiration.

“I don’t know, there’s no information at all, and his armor seems to have a function to block detection,” another disciple said.

Full of incredible things.

Bai Fu's hands were clenched tightly together.

He felt like he was witnessing a miracle.

On the way up, Lu Ming no longer cared about what others thought.

When we reached eight thousand steps.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The pressure emanating from the mountaintop.

It made him feel suffocated.

Just as the speed was about to decrease again.

Earthy yellow energy floated beneath his feet.

In an instant, Lu Ming was filled with power once again.

Their upward strides quickened once again.

Everyone below was waiting, and as time passed, no one knew how much time had gone by.

Lu Ming reached the top of the mountain.

At this moment, people from all the major sects were in an uproar.

"I actually witnessed someone reach the summit. When was the last person to reach the summit?" a disciple murmured.

It's unbelievable.

"No, no one has ever reached the top. Just how strong is his talent?"

Another disciple said.

In the sea, a Daoist said with a smile, "Daoist Tian Shu, you have a rival now."

"Reaching the summit is one thing, and the future is another. Only those geniuses who survive are true geniuses!" Tian Shu Dao Zi said calmly.

The other Daoists stared at him.

They all seemed to be thinking about something.

At this moment, they could confirm that the person climbing was not from their sect.

His gaze shifted, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

However, everyone could vaguely sense the murderous intent of the person next to them.

"After climbing Penglai Immortal Island, you will be directly teleported to your own ship. Finding the other party will not be easy," a Daoist said quietly.

Clearly, he also had murderous intent.

Such a prodigy, if not within his own sect, must die.

I just sent a message to the sect.

Daojun seems to share the same idea.

The other person said calmly.

"I have a tracking scope that can reveal his true face. I can just go and kill him when the time comes."

In just a short while, the Daoists reached an agreement.

This time, even Tian Shu Dao Zi did not refute it.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming on the other side looked as if he were standing on a mountaintop amidst a sea of ​​clouds.

You can clearly feel that you are connected to the sky.

Moreover, the power of the thick earth beneath their feet is transmitted very quickly.

The next moment, a seven-colored light covered his body.

He wanted to move, but he couldn't move at all.

Then, changes occurred in my body.

I can clearly feel that I am being transformed.

Bones, blood, flesh.

This feeling is very comfortable; it's a kind of sublimation from the inside out.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he was able to move again.

A memory inexplicably surfaced in my mind.

[The 1,367,030th person to reach the pinnacle of the Xuanhuang Immortal Body has been awarded a Seeking Immortal Token (which grants entry into the Xuanhuang Immortal Sect)].

Looking at this, a hint of surprise appeared in Lu Ming's eyes.

According to his understanding, no one had ever reached the summit before.

How can there be so many numbers?

The Mysterious Yellow Immortal Body—was this the physique bestowed upon me after reaching the summit?

Then, a token appeared in his palm.

It was cold and hard, made of some unknown material, and covered with intricate patterns.

After a moment's thought, Lu Ming put it into his storage ring.

Then, after glancing around and seeing nothing of value, it swooped down the mountain.

"Boom!" A moment later, when he landed.

Many people turned their attention to it.

This moment aroused Lu Ming's vigilance.

After giving Bai Fu and the others a meaningful look, he walked away to the side by himself.

When he arrived, he instructed his generals to pretend they didn't know each other once they entered.

Clearly, while everyone was excited, they did not reveal their identities.

After Lu Ming left, the others also dispersed.

After finding a secluded spot, Lu Ming opened the system space and used his last 300,000 points to exchange for a disguise talisman.

According to the system's description, as long as it's not a celestial being descending...

No one can see through the disguise.

Only after receiving this did Lu Ming breathe a sigh of relief.

He knew in his heart that someone would definitely look for him after this battle.

Therefore, we must find a way to hide it.

Then, they began searching for medicinal herbs on Penglai Island.

Based on his deduction, after climbing the mountain, there should be three more days to search for the necessary elixirs on the island.

And just as he was searching for the life-extending herb...

The outside world, however, was already in an uproar.

The news that someone had reached the summit of Penglai Immortal Mountain spread like wildfire throughout the Great Yu Dynasty and beyond.

After three days of dissemination, it became known throughout the world.

On this day, Lu Ming also prepared to leave.
