After chasing away the white-horned rhinoceros, the three of them finally heaved a sigh of relief. Then, they looked up at the peak of the mountain that pierced through the clouds. Everyone had a serious expression. It was obvious that flying up was definitely not an easy task. Not to mention the troubles in the air, just the consumption of spiritual power was no small matter.
The three of them had experimented before. The higher they flew, the more spiritual power they consumed. Most likely, they would have used up more than half of their spiritual power before they even reached the peak. If there was any danger, it would be difficult to deal with it calmly.
After some discussion, they decided to find a way up the mountain from the foot of the mountain. With such a huge mountain, even the Sacred Demon Crown Prince Qiu Yu wouldn't have foolishly flown up when he reached the peak.
Yi Tian spread out his Divine Sense and searched around. Soon, he locked onto the stone path at the edge of the forest. It was obvious that someone had been here before. The path didn't seem to be naturally formed.
He pointed and said, "The main path is there. Let's go." Then, he turned around and flew toward the path.
Dugu Chenglong and Song Li looked at each other and nodded to follow. When they landed on the stone path, Yi Tian suddenly discovered a three-foot-tall four-sided stone pillar erected by the side of the road. On it, the words "Spirit Realm Paradise Immortal Flower Pavilion" were written in golden seal script.
He guessed that this was definitely not written by the Sacred Demon Crown Prince Qiu Yu. After all these years of searching for his tracks, he naturally remembered his handwriting. The words on the stone pillar should have been written by Senior Feng Lingzi. Therefore, it should be Senior Feng Lingzi who opened the stone path here.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of respect. If this was left behind by this legendary figure, then Master Jie Ding must have left behind something when he went up. It seemed that he would definitely gain something this time. After some thought, he said, "Let's go. This is probably the only way to reach the Immortal Flower Pavilion. Who knows, there might be other tests waiting for us along the way."
After saying that, he stepped forward. Originally, Yi Tian had been concentrating on raising his Qi to prepare himself for the possible effects of the formation. However, after walking for a few li, he found that there was no difference from walking normally.
He remembered that he had been tested by many sects. A long path like this must have been set up with a formation, or an environment with double gravity to test the person's temperament or strength. However, this path seemed to be a simple mountain path without any tricks.
After two hours, Yi Tian realized that something was wrong. The path under his feet was actually spiraling up the mountain. The mountain had a circumference of at least a thousand miles. If one were to carve out a path around it, the amount of effort would be unimaginable.
Even now, just by walking on it, he could estimate that this road was at least hundreds of thousands of miles long. Then, Yi Tian held his breath and retracted his spiritual energy, walking forward at a constant speed.
It seemed that Senior Feng Lingzi had given him a difficult problem. Walking like this tested a cultivator's confidence and cultivation. If he were to walk normally, he would have to replenish his spiritual energy along the way.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian slowly extended his Divine Sense to investigate the two people not far behind him. At this moment, they had not discovered his movements and were still maintaining their original method of walking forward quickly on the stone path.
Soon, the two of them caught up to him. After they passed by each other, Yi Tian found that they both had confused expressions on their faces. He didn't want to complicate matters, so he simply moved aside and waited for them to pass by before slowly moving forward at his own speed.
Body Integration cultivators were extremely fast on their feet. Even if they were to rely on their other leg, they would be able to cover a distance of hundreds of kilometers in a short amount of time. However, after walking for a few hours, the three of them looked around and found that they were still at the foot of the mountain. It was as if they had just taken the first step.
There was no sun or moon in the mountain. Yi Tian and the others walked on this path for several days, but they were only halfway up the mountain. When they looked up, it seemed that there was still a long way to go before they could reach the clouds.
Yi Tian found that after the two of them overtook him, the distance between the two of them increased. At most, they were tens of thousands of kilometers apart. However, on the third day, the distance between the three of them was constantly shortening. He still maintained his original speed, but Dugu Chenglong and Song Li seemed to have slowed down.
Needless to say, they must have used too much spiritual power and needed to replenish their spiritual energy. As they walked, Yi Tian saw Song Li's figure in the distance. He was sitting on the side of the path with his back against the cliff. It was clear that he had just consumed a pill to replenish his spiritual power.
After a short while, Song Li opened his eyes and said, "Brother Yi really has good eyes. To be able to become an outstanding person in this world, your strength is far above mine."
"Fellow Daoist Song is too polite. In fact, you are much stronger than Dugu Chenglong." Yi Tian also politely replied, "The sooner you recover your spirit force, the better you will be able to face the next challenge. I will leave first."
After he finished speaking, he walked past Song Li and continued up the path. He had come this far at the cost of using the least amount of spiritual power. If he continued, he would need to consume a pill every three days to replenish his spiritual power. He was still much stronger than Song Li.
Using his divine sense, he found that Dugu Chenglong had also stopped and was half a day away from him. Speaking of which, he was far from being as experienced as Song Li. Although his cultivation wasn't weak, his ability to adapt to the environment was still lacking.
It wasn't that Song Li had any spiritual power left, but he had already planned to replenish his spiritual power at 70%.
However, the one Yi Tian was most worried about was Scarlet Demon. After arriving at the foot of the mountain, he had spread out his divine sense to search for Scarlet Demon, but he couldn't find Scarlet Demon.
The three of them had walked on this path for several days. They looked down at the foot of the mountain and thought, "If he just arrived, he won't be able to catch up to me in two or three days. It isn't Scarlet Demon's style to let me take the lead like this."
Following which, he raised his head and looked above the clouds. He didn't know what kind of existences existed in that unknown realm, and he didn't know where the Jasper Flower Pavilion was.
Yi Tian collected his thoughts and continued forward. In less than three hours, he saw Dugu Chenglong's figure in the distance. At this time, he also noticed that he was coming from behind. After turning around to look at him, he stopped on the stone steps. He took out some pills and swallowed them before waiting.
Yi Tian slowly walked forward and stopped 10 feet away from Dugu Chenglong. He then asked, "Greetings, Fellow Cultivator Dugu. Why are you waiting for me here?"
