What he saw were 100000 densely-packed mountains.
Reaching the peak of a Hill was considered to have ascended a lineage.
When Lin Haoran entered, Xia qingchen had already disappeared.
âSo fast?â He glanced around and shook his head. theyâre probably checking the nearby area. That mountain is easier to climb.
As he spoke, he chose the mountain peak in front of him and stepped onto it.
As soon as his feet stepped on the stairs, a ball of fire spurted out without warning.
Lin Haoran immediately dodged with his movement technique and went down the next step. Just as he landed, another ball of flames erupted.
After doing this three times, Lin Haoran finally stood on a relatively safe step after using all his skills.
The boots on his feet had already been charred.
The hem of his clothes was also burned.
He heaved a sigh of relief and furrowed his brows. âHas the earth vein of this Hill gone crazy?
In the past, there would only be One Earth vein eruption every ten steps.
Right now, the earth vein was practically erupting with flames at every step.
âIf every hill is like this, it would be strange if that Xia guy dared to come up.â Lin Haoran said worriedly.
He was a little worried that Xia qingchen would back off after knowing the difficulty, wasting his efforts.
Little did he know.
The peak of the hill he was on.
On one of the stone tablets, Xia qingchen pressed his thumb down, leaving behind a thumb mark.
This was the proof of his Ascension to the bloodline.
The crystal ball would record it as evidence to receive the reward in the future.
After that, he immediately went down the mountain from the other side.
Wherever his feet passed, tongues of fire that were ten feet high rushed up.
However, all of them were repelled ten meters away by the Azure Dragon of earth Qi, unable to harm him at all.
âRight now, I can only reach the level of repelling earth energy. I hope that after ascending to the ten thousand meridians, I can start to control earth energy.â
He leaped and descended the mountain at high speed.
Everywhere it passed, flames erupted, and it was as spectacular as a fire Dragon behind it!
Ten days later.
Xia gingchen had successfully attained 3000 meridians.
Not only could he repel earth energy, but he could also control it easily and improve.
One day, he reached the peak of the three-thousandth Hill.
Unexpectedly, he found a young man lying in the pavilion, resting with his eyes closed.
Probably because she was too tired, she fell asleep without realizing it.
She didnât even notice that Xia qingchen was here.
Xia qingchen didnât alarm him. He left behind his thumb mark and left quietly.
Not long after.
The young man woke up and stretched his arms and legs, preparing to conquer the next Hill.
However, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the stone tablet. After his own mark, there was an additional mark.
âWhat? Did someone come to this Hill while I was sleeping?â âWho is it?â the young man was furious.
The Holy Land fire veinâs reward was only given to the person who won first place every month.
If someone surpassed him, this monthâs reward would belong to the other person.
âWhoâs blind enough to surpass me, the book freak?â This person was the book maniac.
He snorted coldly, stepped on the flames on the stairs, and quickly chased down the mountain.
However, Xia qingchen had already entered an unknown distance. How could he still catch up?
Twenty days later.
They had entered the mountain for more than a month.
Xia qingchen had finally reached the last Hill of the fire vein and was the first to leave his mark on it.
Xia qingchen let out a long breath.
Climbing the fire vein day and night for a month was a great test of physical strength and perseverance.
However, it was a success.
After ascending to the ten thousand meridians, one could obtain a ball of heavenly fire!
However, his gains were far more than that.
Xia qingchen stood in the palace on the hill and looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance. He let out a long laugh.âEarth Qi to heaven!â There was a loud laugh.
Within his sight, hundreds of Hills suddenly burst into flames!
It was like a hundred volcanoes erupting at the same time, a spectacular sight!
The first form of the âBlue Dragon of earthly Qi,ââearthly Qi returning to heaven, â has been successfully cultivated!
He could now simply control the earth Qi, injure the enemy and counter the object, and was extremely powerful.
Slowly retracting his cultivation, Xia qingchen tapped the ground with his toes.
The strange thing was that he didnât move his feet, but his body was drifting on the ground at a high speed.
Upon closer inspection, one would discover that the ground under his feet was actually squirming, bringing Xia qingchen along as he rapidly crossed the distance.
This was also the wondrous effect of earth Qi returning to heaven.
It could control the energy of the earth and bring him along. It was extremely profound.
At that time.
After a month of hard work, Lin Haoran finally arrived at the tenth Hill.
There were already two marks on the stone tablet.
He was the third one.
âIt has already been taken by someone else.â Lin Haoran was greatly disappointed.
This meant that he had no more rewards to take.
âThe first two marks, one should be the book demon, who is the other one? It canât be Xia qingchen, right?â
Lin Haoran laughed at himself,âlâm afraid he didnât even manage to climb up a
Hill.
After all, he had only barely reached 10 meridians.
forget it, letâs stop here. Letâs go back and take a look at that Xia guy. Heâs probably already left in fear.
âAt the same time, Iâll also show fairy Yue my abilities.â
This was the first time he had ascended to the 10 meridians, and it was something to be proud of.
Filled with anticipation, Lin Haoran went down the mountain.
Who would have thought that they would coincidentally bump into Xia qingchen at the foot of the mountain?
âWhy are you still here?â Lin Haoran couldnât believe it.
A month had passed. Xia qingchen should have retreated long ago, right?
Xia qingchen was stunned for a moment. He then nodded. en, my actions were a little slow. Thatâs why I spent a little more time.
If they were to climb the mountain, it would not take a month to climb ten thousand hills.
The main reason was that he needed to spend extra time to cultivate earth Qi firmament.
Otherwise, half a month would be enough.
Lin Haoran had a look of astonishment on his face as he assessed Xia qingchen.
He discovered that Xia qingchenâs entire body wasnât stained by a single speck of dust. His physical strength and spirit were also very full.
He didnât look like he had climbed a mountain.
âHow many meridians have you ascended?â Lin Haoran suspected that Xia qingchen hadnât even ascended a single Hill.
It was only for the sake of his face that he deliberately stayed in the fire vein and refused to leave earlier.
âI just randomly climbed a few.â Xia qingchen spoke indifferently.
It was best not to be too flamboyant about ascending to the 10000 lineages.
Especially not in front of people like Lin Haoran.
âAnything. How many?â âThe way you talk is really interesting.â Lin Haoran shook his head and laughed.
âAlright, go to the gate and register.â
The two of them arrived at the exit.
Lin Haoran handed over his crystal ball, and the old man showed a smile of approval, âââTen meridians! Itâs been a long time since Iâve met such a powerful disciple like you!â
Upon hearing this, Li linran puffed out his chest and glanced at Xia qingchen, chuckling. âItâs your turn.â
Xia qingchen passed the crystal ball over.
The old manâs smile disappeared as he expressionlessly observed the mark in the crystal.
His old face was stiff as if it was frozen.
Lin Haoran didnât get any response from him for a long time, so he said, ââDonât be afraid of embarrassing the newcomers. It doesnât matter how much you say. This will encourage them to continue to work hard in the future.â
The old man stammered,âone âŠâ One âŠ
Lin Haoran impatiently waved his hand,âone, right?â I knew it!â
He stared at Xia qingchen and lectured him, â itâs not that I want to lecture you, senior brother. One must be realistic. One mountain is one mountain. You even said that you just randomly climbed a few!
âThat will only make senior brother look down on you and think that youâre too boastful and not reliable, do you understand?â
Xia qingchen smiled calmly and took back the crystal ball from the old manâs hands..
