Chapter Fifteen: The Frosty Jade Staircase

  The underground passageway didn't give Fang Tian Nan a chilly feeling, on the contrary, it had a warm atmosphere.

  Just as Fang Tiannan hadn't taken a few steps forward and was about to carefully investigate, he suddenly found himself being drawn into an enormous attractive force. In an instant, he lost control and flew forward into the void, leaving him with a hint of unease in his heart.

  The old man who left the legacy of Tongtian is indeed a bit too fond of showing off. At present, this kind of state, and when he first entered the legacy of Tongtian, isn't it exactly the same? Both are wrapped in energy and transmitted, and then, inexplicably, they came to a closed room. And this time, where will they come again?

  The answer didn't take long to wait for.

  When Fang Tian Nan regained his vision and stood firmly, he was at the foot of a mountain peak. Looking up, the entire mountain peak was lush and green, with a magnificent palace sitting on top. However, from where Fang Tian Nan stood at the foot of the mountain, all he could see was just one corner of the palace.

  In front of Fang Tian Nan was a flight of steps made of white jade.

  On the side of the stairs, a wooden sign was erected. At first glance, it had some slight damage and had clearly been weathered by many years of wind and rain, while the characters on it were also somewhat blurred. Fang Tian Nan looked carefully and barely made out that it should be the words of warning left behind by the old man who had passed down the tradition.

  It's like entering this inheritance cave, no one will have a fatal danger, and everyone can rely on their own strength and luck to pass all the tests. The palace on the mountain peak is the center of the entire inheritance cave. Only by reaching the palace can you get the opportunity to obtain the true inheritance.

  Fang Tian Nan suddenly guessed that the white jade paved stairs in front of him were not as easy to climb as they seemed.

  As expected, just as Fang Tiannan stepped onto the first step, a chill suddenly came from under his feet. It seemed that an extremely cold energy had passed through the soles of his feet and into his body, with great aggression, forcing Fang Tiannan to circulate the internal energy in his body to counter it.

  At the same time, Fang Tiannan also understood why all cultivators who could enter the Transmission Cave Heaven had attributes and innate talents related to fire attribute energy. If not, the warriors of other attributes would probably shiver with fear as soon as they stepped on this white jade staircase, let alone continue to climb to the palace at the top of the mountain.

  。。。。。。

  The vigorous energy inside Fang Tian Nan, after absorbing the energy of the light source stone, has gradually shown the characteristics of Yang attribute. When facing the cold air rising from under his feet, the Yang attribute energy, once activated, still plays a significant role. Although it is slightly inferior to pure fire attribute energy, it is enough for Fang Tian Nan to grit his teeth and continue climbing upwards.

  Alas, this white jade paved platform has been formed for a long time. And from the test set by the old man who left behind the legacy of Tongtian Cave, this pass is undoubtedly a great test for a cultivator, both in terms of mastering the internal energy and perseverance.

  The higher you go, the colder and more intense the chill in the air becomes.

  After crossing the twentieth step, Fang Tiannan could clearly feel a surge of energy emanating from the steps, as if it had undergone a sudden transformation, and suddenly increased by one level. This caused the internal Qi in Fang Tiannan's body to stagnate, as if it had fallen into a state of suspension.

  It's not that Fang Tian Nan doesn't want to, but he just doesn't have the ability.

  Was he to give up directly in this trial? If at this time, choosing to turn back, Fang Tian Nan didn't know what he would encounter. There might be an exit, or it was possible that he needed to wait for the rest of the people, whoever finally obtained the inheritance, and then leave this place together. However, the danger brought by the trial would undoubtedly disappear completely.

  It's just that thinking about this opportunity to enter the Transmission Heaven, it's not easy to come by. The fourteen people walking in front didn't have anyone who gave up at this time. If Fang Tian Nan were to give up, wouldn't that mean he was the worst among the fifteen?

  Although, in fact, Fang Tian Nan was very clear in his heart that among these fifteen people, whether it was the ranking of martial artists or pure combat power, he might be the weakest. After all, he had just been promoted to become an outer disciple of Qingyun Sect, and it was still relying on the accumulation of sect contribution points. As for the others, they were either inner disciples of various sects or people who had already been promoted to outer disciples.

  To know that these people, in the past three years, were absolutely not objects that Fang Tian Nan dared to provoke. Now, Fang Tian Nan needs to rely on his own efforts and compete with them once.

  Deep down in Fang Tian Nan's heart, a surge of unyielding spirit and an urge to take action burst forth.

  At the same time, Fang Tiannan suddenly felt that the originally blocked Qi had undergone some changes in this instant. The Qi that was scattered and flowing around his body, although it presented a yang attribute energy state, but compared to the cold yin energy coming from the stairs, it still seemed too weak.

  But it was at this time that the yang attribute energy contained in these energies was gradually gathering. It's as if there is an invisible big hand, like pulling silk and cocoon, pulling all the yang attribute energy in these energies together, finally slowly forming a light point.

  This energy light point then moved to Fang Tian Nan's dantian, surrounding the metal token at the center of the dantian, and began to rotate continuously.

  And Fang Tian Nan's footsteps, which had taken another step forward, also became slightly lighter under this physical change.

  。。。。。。

  As Fang Tiannan climbed higher and higher, the white jade steps he walked on also increased in number. The yang energy within Fang Tiannan's body had basically all accumulated into energy light points. Fang Tiannan carefully counted them and found that there were four water droplet-shaped liquid yang energy, and besides that, there was an even smaller energy light point.

  A strange expression appeared on Fang Tian Nan's face.

  Before this, Fang Tian Nan had absorbed the energy of four light source stones. The energy of the fifth light source stone was not fully absorbed. If Fang Tian Nan's guess was correct, it should be that the energy absorbed from one light source stone can condense into a drop of Yang liquid.

  Four drops of Yang liquid, as well as a Yang attribute energy point slightly smaller than the Yang liquid, all surround the metal plate at the center of the Dantian, rapidly rotating to disperse the Yang attribute energy. The energy brought by this is even stronger than the energy brought by the full-body Qi rotation before.

  This made Fang Tian Nan extremely delighted.

  To know, a practitioner, if able to form a ball of energy in the dantian, signifies that this practitioner has entered the realm of dark energy; and once this ball of energy begins to vaporize, it represents that this practitioner has reached the realm of transformed energy.

  What is called "condensation" is nothing more than the concentration of vital energy reaching saturation, accumulating to a certain degree, and thus appearing in a liquid state. At present, the yang liquid in Fang Tiannan's dantian is a kind of liquefied energy.

  Of course, Fang Tiannan's Yang liquid, only four drops, compared to the entire Dantian, still seems too little, and cannot be considered as entering the Huajing realm. However, the Yang attribute energy can liquefy, for Fang Tiannan, no doubt has found a way to upgrade to the Huajing realm.

  As long as you can absorb enough energy from the light source stone, entering the realm of transformation is no longer a dream.

  This also made Fang Tian Nan, for the first time, have a few expectations about his own path of martial arts.

  It can be said that the test of the white jade steps in this pass, for Fang Tiannan, is an opportunity to allow the yang attribute energy in his body to undergo a good qualitative change. Looking up, not far away, Fang Tiannan could even clearly see several cultivators walking in front of him, who were the people who had entered the underground passage one step ahead of Fang Tiannan.

  Because the last eleven people were in the same room at the beginning, they returned to their free bodies at the same time. The interval between entering the underground passage was not long. This also led to the fact that except for Fang Tian Nan, the distance between the other ten people on the White Jade Steps was not large. Among them, several people had already changed their order.

  And in the end, there was only one person left, who was only more than a dozen steps ahead of Tian Nan.

  At this time, Fang Tiannan was walking on the white jade steps, and his expression was relatively relaxed. After all, the Yang energy released by Yang Ye was comparable to that of a warrior in the Huajing realm. Among the outer disciples of the three major sects, there were no more than warriors in the Huajing realm.

  It can be said that at this time, Fang Tiannan has already caught up with other cultivators in terms of innate conditions. The confidence brought by Fang Tiannan's increasing strength is gradually approaching the warrior closest to him.

  When the two stood on the same step, Fang Tian Nan could clearly see that his opponent's face was flushed red due to the cold energy emanating from the step. At this moment, he saw Fang Tian Nan arrive and was undoubtedly surprised, with a look of incredulity and regret in his eyes. However, soon after, he continued to lower his head, gritted his teeth, and tried to take another step forward.

  But as soon as he took this step forward, the energy transmitted from the white jade steps underwent another change.
