Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

The person in front became Zhu Yingqiu, who had already reached more than 89,000 stone steps.

Although her physique is not as good as Qin Muyun's, and her artistic conception is not as good as Xue Qingyou's, she has the advantage of even development, and her realm at the peak of the seventh realm is also higher than the other two. Therefore, she gradually surpassed the two and temporarily ranked first.

The second place is Xue Qingyou, with more than 87,000 stone steps.

The higher the stone stairs go, the heavier the mental oppression becomes. Therefore, Xue Qingyou, who was born with a sword heart and a profound artistic conception, can be said to be the most relaxed among the three.

The third place is Qin Muyun, with more than 86,000 stone steps.

She specializes in swordsmanship and usually pays attention to the training of her physical body, but because of this she is somewhat weak in terms of artistic conception. Although her sword intent is not weak, it is still inferior to the knife intent and sword intent of the other two.

Some of the remaining seventh-level disciples had just entered the 80,000-step stone staircase, while others were still at the 70,000-step stone staircase.

The disciples who came after him were still on the 60,000 or 50,000-step stone stairs.

Yin You ranks 30th.

……

Yin You possesses the five elements spiritual roots and specializes in the power of the five elements. Thanks to the characteristics of the five elements' mutual restraint and mutual generation, the speed of recovering spiritual energy is several times that of people at the same level.

After he recovered his spiritual energy, he used several magical powers such as "extreme speed", "lightness", and "awakening" to bless himself and continued to climb to the top of the mountain.

Soon Yin You arrived at the 50,000-step stone staircase.

The moment he stepped onto the 50,000 stone steps, the scene around him changed drastically. He felt his eyes blurry and he arrived on a plain.

A breeze blows and the grass sways.

Yin You didn't look around too long, but looked directly at the figure not far ahead with his back to him.

The next moment, the figure turned around.

It was Zhu Yingqiu! ?

The figure looked exactly like Zhu Yingqiu, with long hair tied up, dressed in black, a long sword hanging from his waist, and even the dull expression on his face was exactly the same, which made Yin You a little dazed and thought it was Zhu Yingqiu himself.

But this illusion was not ambiguous. While Yin You was in a trance, her figure disappeared in an instant.

Yin You felt a chill in his heart and turned around subconsciously, only to see a long and narrow sword that was almost in a straight line from the handle to the tip slashing across where he was originally.

This is Zhu Yingqiu’s sword “Qingchou”.

The name of the long sword flashed through Yin You's mind instantly. He turned around and pulled out Qinglong to block in front of him.

Clang!

However, the illusory blade turned and slashed towards Yin You, hitting the Qinglong sword and making a sharp sound.

Yin You took advantage of the situation to retreat, away from the illusion.

He had already seen that this illusion imitated the Zhu Yingqiu in his mind, whose strength was probably in the middle stage of the fifth realm. Apart from having no self-awareness, he had the same fighting style and fighting instincts as Zhu Yingqiu.

Well, I had originally planned to consolidate my realm before going to find Junior Brother Zhu for a fight, but I was delayed because of Xue Yue's questions. Now that I have encountered her illusion here, I might as well use this illusion to practice.

Yin You’s thoughts were racing in his mind, but in the real world only a few breaths of time had passed.

When Huanjing saw him retreating, he immediately chased after him with a knife.

Yin You changed his offensive strategy, stepped on the ground with both feet, and rushed towards the illusion.

Clang! ! !

Swords collided, and the sky was filled with flashing sword and knife lights.

Yin You knew that Zhu Yingqiu's swordsmanship emphasized "fast, accurate, and ruthless" and pursued the ultimate speed and killing power. Since this illusion imitated the Zhu Yingqiu in his mind, it also inherited her swordsmanship style. Therefore, he used the shadow swordsmanship that was good at changes and speed to fight back.

He just swung out a sword, and it seemed that several swords followed, real and unreal, making it difficult to distinguish the illusion for a moment.

She slashed with her sword, destroying several sword shadows, but as time went on, the sword shadows became more and more numerous, and she finally revealed a flaw and was injured by the real sword hidden among the many sword shadows. Her clothes were cut at the shoulder, but no blood flowed out, and her body became slightly illusory.

Seeing this, Yin You's sword moves became more bizarre, and he swung out sword shadows all over the sky, gradually suppressing the illusion.

The illusion seemed to be getting angry as well, and the sword became more and more fierce. Often, with one swing of the sword, it would kill countless sword shadows and slowly turn the situation back.

Finally, the spirit of the illusion was condensed to the peak, and he swung the ultimate sword, with a power close to the peak of the fifth realm!

Yin You was unable to react in time and was killed by a single blow, transforming into spiritual energy that scattered everywhere.

Upon seeing this, Huanjing was stunned at first, then his figure disappeared instantly and appeared in another place.

But it's still too late.

Yin You appeared behind it and slashed with a sword.

The illusion's body stiffened, then turned into a phantom and disappeared.

Yin You only felt his vision blurred and he was back on the stone stairs.

Looking up at the night sky, Yin You continued to climb the stone stairs.

An hour later, the night became dark.

A figure slowly walked out from the stone stairs and came to the top of Snow Moon Mountain.

Under the bright moonlight, one could clearly see that the man was dressed in black with a long and narrow sword hanging from his waist.

It’s Zhu Yingqiu!

She is the first person to reach the top of the Snow Moon Realm this time!

Zhu Yingqiu looked around and saw only a giant stone tablet standing on the top of the mountain. She walked straight towards the tablet.

When I approached the stone tablet, I saw countless dull and mysterious runes engraved on it.

But when Zhu Yingqiu reached out and touched the stone tablet, countless runes emitted dazzling light in an instant. Zhu Yingqiu sat down on the ground with his eyes closed.

After her, Xue Qingyou and Qin Muyun also reached the top one after another. After touching the stone tablet, they also sat down on the ground with their eyes closed.

……

"Junior Sister Yingqiu got first place!!!"

"What a pity! If Senior Sister Qin's artistic conception was higher, she would definitely win the second place."

"Senior Sister Xue's swordsmanship has become more profound."

"As long as you go through the trials of the stone steps, you will gain something more or less."

"Yes, I participated in the last Snow Moon Questioning Realm. After passing the Stone Ladder Trial, I broke through the bottleneck in just one month."

Many disciples nodded in agreement.

One side of the platform.

Yin Ci ignored the other light screens and just stared at one of the light screens, which showed Yin You's figure.

Just now when Yin You stepped onto the 50,000 stone steps, he was trapped in an illusion and stood stiff in place.

Yin Ci, who was at the Qiu Dao Peak, could not see the content of the illusion test. She could only see Yin You frowning slightly, as if he was not happy. She subconsciously felt a little worried.

It should be noted that the test in the illusion does not hurt the body but only the soul, and the soul is a forbidden area for cultivators. It is extremely dangerous and a slight injury may leave endless consequences.

It was not until Yin You emerged from the illusion that Yin Ci took a closer look and saw that he showed no signs of mental damage and was full of energy that he felt relieved.

Apparently, the Lord of Youfeng Peak, the coldest-blooded, most ruthless, most terrifying and most mysterious elder in Xuelingxu, was so concerned about his disciple that he forgot that his disciple not only had a powerful soul, but also possessed countless soul secret treasures.

Chapter 11 Accident

Seeking the truth at the peak.

From the topmost light curtain of the giant light curtain, one can see that twenty-three light spots have reached the end, which means that twenty-three disciples have successfully reached the top.

And there are still six disciples on the 90,000 stone steps.

Yin You is at the end.

……

"call……"

Yin You let out a light breath. After experiencing the double suppression of his body and soul by the stone staircase restriction formation and several battles in illusions, even with such a solid foundation as him, he couldn't help showing a trace of fatigue.

Ever since the illusion test on the 50,000 stone steps, a new illusion test has appeared every 10,000 stone steps. Moreover, each illusion test is no longer fixed on a certain step like the illusion test on the 50,000 stone steps, but appears randomly on a certain step.

In order to catch up with the disciples in front as quickly as possible, Yin You couldn't restore his spiritual energy every time before climbing. He could only try to store 50% of his spiritual energy to face the test of the illusion while maintaining his speed.

And as time goes on, the new illusions will become more powerful and more bizarre. The illusions are not limited to combat confrontations, but will also include many tests such as breaking formations, refining elixirs, refining equipment, and decrypting. It's just that Yin You is good at combat, so the chance of encountering combat tests is greater.

Especially the illusion test of the 93,568 stone steps. The illusion transformed into himself. Many of his magic skills and swordsmanship came from the same source as him, but his cultivation was one level higher than his, and was in the late sixth level. This made Yin You extremely passive and the situation was extremely dangerous during the period.

Fortunately, the illusion cannot copy a person 100%, and it does not know some of Yin You’s forbidden techniques and secrets. After Yin You played all his cards, it finally managed to pass.

From now on, just climb as hard as you can.

Looking at the faintly visible peak of Snow Moon Mountain, Yin You's heart leaped with joy.

Master, she is looking at me, right?

Thinking of his master, all the fatigue on Yin You's face disappeared, as if he had gained endless strength again, and he became full of energy.

Yes, we must not let our Master down. Come on! Yin You! We must reach the top successfully!

After secretly cheering himself up, Yin You climbed up without any hesitation, surpassing one, two, three... until all the disciples in front of him were surpassed by him and he could even see the top of Xueyue Mountain clearly. Then Yin You finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He did not stop, but continued to climb.

Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-five.

Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-six.

Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven.

Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety…eight.

The moment Yin You stepped onto the 99,998th stone step, the scenery in front of him changed drastically!

Yin You did not panic, but immediately grasped the Qinglong Sword in his hand and calmly observed his surroundings. At this time, he was on the top of a mountain with a bright moon hanging high in the sky.

"Is this... an illusion?"

Yin You understood instantly, but he was still a little confused. Wasn't it said that there were only five illusion tests in the Stone Stairs Trial? How come he encountered the sixth illusion test?

Moreover, there was no one around in this illusion, and everything was silent. There was no sign of where the test was, and no one knew what it was for.

Yin You frowned slightly.

and many more!

He looked at the bamboo and peach forest not far away. The more he looked, the more familiar it seemed. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind: "This is Youfeng!"

It turned out to be this secluded peak!

Yin You's eyes sparkled as he recognized this place. It was located behind the cave in the secluded peak and was the place where Yin Ci practiced.

A month before the start of the Snow Moon Questioning Realm, he had come here many times to practice, with his master personally teaching him swords and moves, and he gained a lot.

"who!"

Suddenly, Yin You drew out the Qinglong sword and looked towards the green bamboo and peach forest vigilantly.

rustling...

I saw a tall and graceful figure slowly walking out from the depths of the green bamboo and peach forest, revealing her true face under the moonlight.

She has snow-white hair like a waterfall, two-colored eyes, one silver-gray and one light purple, and she is wearing a long white gauze dress. Her plump and graceful figure can be vaguely seen under the white gauze.

"Teacher, Master?"

Seeing the face that he had known for more than ten years and was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar, Yin You was stunned for a moment.

At the same time, a gentle smile spread across that charming and cold face, just like the master in Yin You's heart.

She walked slowly towards Yin You, opened her red lips slightly, and spoke softly: "You'er."

……

Yin Ci watched his apprentice climb all the way, passing one disciple after another. Even the illusion test could not stop his steps, but made his expression more determined. The corners of his mouth under the hood could not help but curl up slightly.

She was already thinking about what delicious food to make in the evening to reward her beloved apprentice.

Well...just make all of Youer’s favorite dishes.
