The peak pierced through the clouds and was at least five thousand meters tall. There were no other tall peaks nearby, so this peak seemed to stand out from the rest. It was like a king standing among a group of kneeling subjects.
They were getting closer and closer to the peak. The floating Golden Coffin was getting clearer and clearer. A surge of qi and energy came from the Golden Ancient Coffin, which made Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue more excited.
A powerful warrior at the peak of the Human Sovereign Realm, an emperor that once unified the Northern Desert. How powerful would the treasures he left behind be?
Powerful Xuan Skills, peerless Divine Weapons and armors, rare Mystical Materials … Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue sped up when they thought of all these.
They observed the mountain as they ran. They found that there were many paths leading to the mountain. All of them were stone stairs built with bluestone, extending to the waist of the mountain in a straight line. There were at least 10,000 stone stairs.
However, halfway up the mountain, there weren't so many paths. Dozens of stone steps turned into a winding mountain road, like a giant dragon spiraling upwards, winding its way to the peak of the mountain.
Bai Qiuxue didn't stop for even one bit. She was at the front. When she reached the foot of the mountain, she stepped on the bluestone stairs.
Right at that moment, the bluestone stairs glowed in white. Many spikes poked out from the bluestone, which scared Bai Qiuxue so much that she stepped back at once.
"So it is not easy to get to the peak."
Lu Li looked at Lady Li who was pale in fright. There must be some Inhibition Formations on the bluestone stairs. One careless move could cost one's life.
"Li Yu-er, wait at the foot of the mountain."
This Lady Li was only at the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. She had almost zero battle experience. Bai Qiuxue looked at her pale face and ordered.
Lady Li nodded. She didn't want to take the risk. Treasures were good but she had to be alive to get them.
"Lu Li, are you up or not?" Bai Qiuxue looked at Lu Li who said with a light smile, "Little White, come out and explore the way!"
"Squeak, squeak ~"
Little White flew out from Lu Li's sleeve. Its nose twitched and then it ran directly to the bluestone stairs.
"Squeak, squeak ~"
Little White flew up to the fifth stair and turned around to look at Lu Li with pride. Lu Li gave it a thumbs up and said to Bai Qiuxue, "Follow me."
With that said, Lu Li kicked on the fifth stair directly. There was no reaction from that stair. It seemed that there was no Inhibition Formation on this stair.
"Xiu!"
Bai Qiuxue followed him closely. She looked at Little White with curiosity and asked, "Lu Li, what kind of beast is this?
You can actually discover the restriction? "
Lu Li smiled but said nothing. He said to Little White, "Little White, keep exploring. Be careful."
Squeak, squeak ~
Little White's eyes were filled with pride. It kicked with its short legs and climbed up another four steps. Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue quickly followed.
Little White seemed to have a natural sense of restrictions. It jumped up three steps, then four or five steps, but it didn't trigger any restrictions.
Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue climbed up the stairs easily.
Boom!
Suddenly, an explosion came from the left. The two of them looked in that direction and saw a stone staircase. A person had been struck by lightning, and black smoke rose from his body as he tumbled down.
"White Shadow!"
Autumn Snow recognized Bai Ying after a few glances. Seeing Bai Ying being supported by a young lady and being fed medicine, Autumn Snow felt slightly relieved.
"Li Yu-er, go and take a look around. If you run into our people, tell them to be careful. Don't climb the stairs rashly.
You can try them one by one and only go up when there is no Inhibition Formation. You can be slow, but don't take risks.
Especially Shuang-er, tell her to be careful. Don't go up if you can't handle it. "
Bai Qiuxue had planned to wait for Bai Xiashuang and the others before going up. However, the Treasure Trove of the Dragon King was at the peak. She and Lu Li had taken the initiative. How could they wait here?
What was more, Little White was Lu Li's, not Bai Qiuxue's. What if Lu Li went up by himself without waiting for her?
Lu Li nodded. He appreciated Bai Qiuxue's decisiveness. He said nothing and rushed forward with Little White. Bai Qiuxue followed him closely. In the time for one incense stick to burn, they had climbed up more than 1000 stairs.
"Boom!"
From the right came an explosion. The two of them looked back with worry. It was Du Ziling who was struck down by lightning.
"Sis ~"
A delicate shout came out. It was Bai Xiashuang's voice.
Lu Li asked Little White to stop. Bai Qiuxue looked to the left at once. Bai Xiashuang waved her hands excitedly and said, "Sis, wait for me. I am coming up now."
"Stop!"
Bai Qiuxue was frightened. She shouted, "Shuang-er, there is a horrifying Inhibition Formation on the stairs. Don't come up this time. Wait for me at the foot of the mountain."
"Ah ~"
A miserable cry came out from a path. They could faintly see a man rolling down in a bloody mess.
Bai Xiashuang and the others looked over and realized it was a warrior of the Heaven Martial Kingdom with a broken leg. They were so scared that their faces turned pale.
Bai Qiuxue's expressions became more solemn. She shouted to Young Master Rong who was running over from the distance, "Bai Rong, keep an eye on Shuang-er. Don't let her come up.
If you want to come up, be careful. Step by step. Don't be reckless. "
Bai Rong accepted the order. This time, Bai Xiashuang didn't dare to fool around. She stared at Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue with excitement.
At least her sister and Lu Li had climbed so many stairs. It seemed that the treasury of the Dragon King at the peak of the mountain would belong to Lu Li and her sister.
"How come they are so fast?"
Du Ziling and Zi Lian were confused. Ye Yuhan also brought several warriors to the path on the left. She tried several times and several of them were injured. She heard the noise so she brought people over.
"Du Rui, you go. Try one step at a time!"
A glint of ruthlessness flashed through Du Ziling's amorous eyes. He made up his mind and took out an armor from his ring.
It was a full set, including boots and a helmet. It was of the Heaven Grade, and its defense was strong.
He handed the armor to a warrior at the middle stage of the Soul Pond Realm next to him. The latter put it on and tried step by step to find a safe path.
"Clank, clank, clank ~"
On the third stair, spikes came out from the ground. But Du Rui was wearing boots so the spikes couldn't go in. Instead, he borrowed strength to run up.
"Remember, there is an Inhibition Formation on the first stair."
Du Ziling ordered another warrior. That warrior took out a pen and paper from his chest pocket and started to write it down.
"Yu Fu, put on your armor and go!"
Yu Lingxu followed suit. He took out a powerful armor for defense. Before they entered the Tomb of Dragon King, they were all prepared to wear powerful armors for fear of encountering situations like this.
"Ye Longyu, you go as well!"
Ye Yuhan was getting anxious. Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue had climbed more than 1000 stairs. If they didn't hurry up, by the time they reached the peak, there would be nothing left of them.
"Such a shame that such a talent was forced away by the Yu Family …"
Zi Lian looked at Lu Li who was running wildly behind Little White and sighed. Little White would look back and squeak at Lu Li every now and then. Needless to say, this little beast belonged to Lu Li.
Bai Qiuxue was following behind. It must be Lu Li or Little White that they could climb up the bluestone stairs so easily.
Also, Lu Li killed Patriarch Qing who was at the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm at the battle of the Wu Ling County. Lu Ling was of Fire Phoenix Birth. Lu Li's cultivation speed was very fast. Everything proved that Lu Li was extraordinary.
It was a pity that this talent was forced away from the Heaven Martial Kingdom. Judging from the attitude of Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue, Lu Li would never go back to the Heaven Martial Kingdom.
