"Drip, drip, drip …"
The spring breeze suddenly stopped, and the drizzle was moist.
As Fang Qiu's footsteps fell, there were some extremely subtle changes in the scenery in front of him, as if it had transitioned from morning to noon. It was extremely natural. There was also a drizzle in the sky, gently falling on his body. Accompanied by the spring breeze, people could feel that there were countless lives on the earth, sprouting and growing vigorously.
Another step forward.
It was the Awakening of Insects.
Then it was the Spring Equinox, Qingming Festival, Guyu, Lixia …
Fang Qiu just walked step by step, step by step, step by step.
The surrounding scenery was constantly changing with his footsteps.
It was as if he had entered a time tunnel.
With every step, Fang Qiu saw a different scenery, a different world. There was the sun rising and the moon setting, there was the rising purple Qi, there was the frosty moonlight, there was the spring breeze caressing willows, there was the scorching summer sun, there was the cool autumn wind, and there was the piercingly cold east!
Every scene appeared.
All of them made Fang Qiu see different things and give rise to different moods.
There was no great enlightenment, but there was a refinement of the state of mind.
Of course.
The most important thing was that, in addition to the improvement of the state of mind, Fang Qiu also noticed that every time he took a step up, there would be a bright spot in his body, forming on his spine.
It was like lighting a lamp. Every time he went up a step, a lamp would be lit!
Finally.
The twenty-fourth step fell.
Fang Qiu came to the last solar term, the heavy snow.
Between heaven and earth around him, the cold wind blew again, and the temperature gradually changed from the cool autumn to the cold winter. There were already light snowflakes falling in the sky, although not much.
But it could let people clearly feel the arrival of winter.
Taking this step.
Fang Qiu was still thinking about what the next step would be.
Everything in front of Fang Qiu was restored.
He saw himself standing on the Heaven Ladder. He saw the first Heaven Ladder he saw. The surrounding scene disappeared and returned to normal.
He turned his head and looked around.
Fang Qiu found that there was still no one around him.
However, when he looked into the distance, he was shocked to see that the others were still climbing the 24th step in front of him.
While he was puzzled.
Fang Qiu stretched out his right foot and continued to step up.
But.
Just when his foot just stepped on the 25th step.
Crack …
This was what Fang Qiu saw with his eyes.
There was no sound.
He saw that the ladder under his right foot had simply broken.
The whole thing was a mime.
He didn't even have time to stand up and walk to the 25th step when the ladder under his right foot suddenly collapsed. Piece by piece, it quickly formed an incomparably huge spatial crack under his feet.
This spatial fissure seemed to want to devour everything in its path.
Fang Qiu quickly withdrew his right foot.
He prepared to fly up and continue to ascend.
However …
When he activated all the Internal Qi in his body, he found that he seemed to be suppressed by a huge pressure. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't fly.
This situation made Fang Qiu frown involuntarily.
The situation in front of him was something he had never expected.
Wasn't it said that ascending the Stairway to Heaven would allow one to turn into a mortal?
Now, the Heaven Stairway had collapsed.
Didn't this mean that the path to becoming a Mortal was over?
He looked around.
He realized that he really had nowhere to go.
Helplessly.
Fang Qiu could only smile bitterly. He could only calm down and study the light spots on his spine first.
Since these light spots were from the Path to Heaven, there must be a reason for their existence!
He sat cross-legged on the ground.
Fang Qiu closed his eyes to observe.
As a result, he found that these light spots were very strange. They didn't seem to exist physically, but they really existed on the spine.
After observing for a while.
Fang Qiu began to try to activate these light spots on the spine.
This move.
Fang Qiu suddenly found that these light spots actually connected into a line in an instant, directly turning into a beam of light, directly rushing to the Baihui acupoint and then down the door. When it reached the nose, it suddenly stopped.
No matter how he activated it, it couldn't go down.
He took a closer look.
Between the spine and the throat, it was also broken.
This situation.
Fang Qiu couldn't help but frown. Then he began to try to control this beam of light to rush over.
When he started sprinting, Fang Qiu deeply felt a very deep obstacle, which gave him a feeling that it was impossible to rush through.
However.
He didn't give up.
If the beam of light didn't move, he continued to activate it. If the beam of light moved, he used more force to activate it. No matter whether it worked or not, he kept trying. He held a full breath and rushed with all his strength.
Because he closed his eyes.
Fang Qiu didn't notice that when he kept trying to rush, the space in which he was in gradually changed.
The Heaven Ladder that was originally broken and collapsed was constantly being repaired.
Step by step, the pieces of the Heaven Ladder that had already fallen into the space gap flew out from it one by one and returned to their original positions.
At the same time.
In Fang Qiu's body, the beam of light that had rushed to the nose was also pressing down bit by bit.
It didn't take long for them to reach the last step of the stairway.
However.
Just when the last step was about to be connected.
All of a sudden.
All the ladders that had been connected just now suddenly collapsed.
Once again, it instantly collapsed, turning into countless fragments that fell down into the spatial crack below.
On Fang Qiu's side.
After trying several times, just when he was about to break through, the beam of light suddenly shrank as if it had been rebounded by something and suddenly shrank back.
"Phew …"
Fang Qiu opened his eyes and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
He just saw the ladder in front of him collapsed again.
"Broken again?"
Seeing this scene.
Fang Qiu seemed to have understood something.
Although he had failed this time, he seemed to have understood something.
However.
He couldn't explain it clearly.
"Could it be that this part of the human body is broken, so I can't break through?"
"Then, if I make up for it, will it be possible for modern people to break through the shackles of guru?"
He murmured.
Fang Qiu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
But at this moment.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Fang Qiu and caught his attention.
He took a closer look.
The person who arrived was none other than Grandmaster Tianwen.
Just when Fang Qiu was about to stand up and greet Master Tianwen, another figure suddenly appeared. It was Fifth Mingchuan.
Then the four family masters, Sword Addict, He Gaoming and others.
Not long after.
Everyone appeared.
Including everyone from the eight sects and sixteen sects.
Because this Heaven Ladder was very wide, even if everyone was here, it seemed to be very spacious.
"Everyone is here?"
Fang Qiu said with a smile.
Everyone also smiled and bowed to Fang Qiu.
"Brother John Doe, what did you see on the way to the Heaven Ladder? Did everyone see the same? Why don't you share it?"
Master Tianwen said with a smile.
"I experienced the first 24 steps for a year."
Fang Qiu didn't mean to hide it at all. He said directly, "From the winter solstice to the end of the heavy snow, 24 solar terms, exactly one year."
"Me too."
He Gaoming immediately stood up and said, "I thought it was the ancestors who told me to go through spring, summer, and autumn, telling us that life is just a reincarnation."
Hearing that.
Everyone laughed.
"It seems that everyone experienced the same."
Master Tianwen nodded and said, "Everyone experienced the 24 solar terms."
"Haha, do you think this is for you to do reading comprehension questions?"
Sword Addict patted He Gaoming's shoulder and said with a laugh.
As soon as he said that.
He Gaoming immediately smiled embarrassedly.
Next to him.
A guru from the Sword Garret walked out and pointed to the space crack in front of them and asked, "What's in front?"
Everyone immediately looked forward.
"It's the Heaven Ladder."
Fang Qiu said, "It was already broken when I came here. But there is a way to repair it, but it's very difficult."
"What is it?"
The guru from the Sword Garret immediately asked.
"I don't know if you noticed that when we went through the first 24 steps, a light spot appeared on our spines every time we passed a step. If I'm not mistaken, there should be 24 light spots on everyone's spines."
Hearing that.
Master Tianwen, the Four Masters, the guru from the Sword Garret, and Sword Addict all nodded. Some of the others also nodded in agreement, but some didn't notice it at all.
In this case.
Those who didn't notice it all closed their eyes to check.
Then they found that it was true.
"Before everyone arrived here, I tried to connect these light dots. In the end, I found that the light dots turned into a beam of light. However, this beam of light will stop when it reaches a specific location. As long as we try our best to control the beam of light to break through that specific location, the broken stairway will automatically repair itself."
"I tried it just now, but I failed."
"Now, since everyone is here, let's work together and try again."
After that.
Everyone immediately nodded and sat down cross-legged.
Because of John Doe's reminder, everyone didn't close their eyes. Instead, they opened their eyes to face the space crack in front of them and tried to activate the light spots according to John Doe's reminder.
Fang Qiu also sat down and started the second attempt.
Everyone together.
The fragments of the Heaven Ladder in the space crack in front of them quickly rose up and began to repair.
Everyone looked.
It was like this.
They immediately increased their efforts and began to speed up the repair.
However.
Because it was too exhausting, everyone closed their eyes when they saw the Heaven Ladder began to repair and devoted themselves to activating the energy of the light spots.
Under the joint efforts of everyone.
The Heaven Ladder repaired very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was repaired to the last step.
However.
Just when the last step was about to be repaired.
The stairs that had just been repaired suddenly began to tremble silently again. Then, the stairs that had just been repaired began to shatter and fall again.
It seemed that it still didn't succeed.
After a while.
