Chapter 428: Strange Stone Stairs
Chapter 428: Strange Stone Stairs
After Lu Chen and Xia Housheng escaped from death, there were still two days left before the end of the Tianyin Mountain Secret Realm.
So Lu Chen planned to go to the eighth level space to continue searching for resources.
When the two came to the stone stairs of the ninth floor space, they walked down the stairs easily. The mysterious resistance seemed to have disappeared. It was magical.
Only then did Lu Chen understand that as long as the cultivator had gone up, he did not need to pass the test again when coming down.
Just as Lu Chen looked back at the stone stairs and smiled.
Xiahou Sheng beside him smiled in surprise:
"Hahaha... Lu Chen! Why are you here? What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here.
Ever since we parted in the secret realm of Yinfeng Valley, I heard that you were being hunted by the Tianyuan Pavilion with a bounty on your head. I have been worried about your safety. Now that I see that you are fine, I am finally relieved.
How about it? Do you want to consider joining our Tianyan Sect now? Huh? You actually broke through to the Golden Core Stage so quickly?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen looked at Xiahou Sheng in shock, not knowing what he was talking about.
We had just come down from the ninth level together, but he seemed to have forgotten it. He looked as if he hadn't seen me for a long time and had just seen me.
"Hahaha... Brother Xia! Are you kidding me? Didn't we just come down from the ninth level? Why are you pretending to have amnesia? This joke is not funny!"
Lu Chen looked at Xiahou Sheng and smiled.
"Hahaha... Lu Chen! I think you are kidding me! I just came from there and was about to go to the ninth level space.
I just happened to see you and came over to say hello. Why did you say that I just came down from the ninth level with you?
I haven't even been there yet, so how can I possibly meet you on the ninth floor?"
Xiahou Sheng smiled in the same puzzled manner, with a hint of displeasure on his face.
As he spoke, he took out a magic mirror from his storage bag and showed Lu Chen that he was going to use the magic mirror to resist the mysterious resistance on the stone stairs.
But I haven't even taken out my magic weapon yet, so how could I possibly have been to the ninth level of space?
Lu Chen frowned when he heard this, and then he looked at Xiahou Sheng's expression and it seemed that he was not lying.
Since we have already talked to this point, there is no point in joking anymore.
Then it is very likely that there was a problem with the stone stairs, causing Xiahou Sheng to really lose his memory of the ninth level space.
But the question is, why don't I have such a phenomenon? Lu Chen wondered in his heart.
Seeing the displeasure on Xiahou Sheng's face, Lu Chen knew that he thought he was making fun of him.
In order to prove that what he said was true, Lu Chen told Xiahou Sheng about what happened to them both in the ninth level of space, and mentioned that he also gave Xiahou Sheng a longevity fruit.
Seeing that Lu Chen had a serious expression and didn't seem to be joking with him, Xiahou Sheng became very confused and immediately used his spiritual sense to check his storage bag.
After checking, he actually found a longevity fruit in his storage bag.
But I have no memory of this longevity fruit, so where did it come from?
Could it be true as Lu Chen just said, that I met him in the ninth level space, but why can't I remember it at all?
"Lu Chen! What on earth is going on?"
Xiahou Sheng looked at the longevity fruit in his hand in shock and said puzzledly.
"I don't know either, but one thing is certain, you really have lost your memory. But I guess it has something to do with this stone staircase. Let's go to the seventh floor and take a look."
Lu Chen pinched his chin with his left hand and said after thinking for a moment.
Xiahou Sheng also realized that the problem might be with himself.
So he put the longevity fruit into the storage bag and followed Lu Chen to the stone stairs leading to the seventh floor.
Lu Chen has been using his spiritual sense to cover Xiahou Sheng, hoping to discover some clues.
However, there was nothing unusual on the stone stairs until the two of them arrived at the seventh level again.
Xiahou Sheng seemed to have lost his memory again and greeted Lu Chen in surprise again. Then Lu Chen took some time to explain everything clearly.
There was no other way. In order to find out the truth of the matter, Lu Chen brought Xiahou Sheng to the sixth level space again.
The result was still the same. Xiahou Sheng still forgot the entrance to the seventh-level space and what happened when the two met.
There was no other choice, Lu Chen had to continue bringing Xiahou Sheng to the fifth level space.
The two of them had just taken the last step of the stone stairs when Xiahou Sheng greeted Lu Chen in shock, as if he had just seen him.
But Lu Chen looked at Xiahou Sheng with disdain and said:
"Has anyone ever told you that your acting is really bad?"
It turned out that Lu Chen had been carefully observing Xiahou Sheng's changes, and he could tell at a glance that Xiahou Sheng was pretending this time, which meant that he remembered what happened in the sixth-level space.
In other words, Xiahou Sheng’s loss of memory should be related to the stone stairs leading to the seventh floor.
"Hahaha... It's just a joke, don't be angry, but I think I have guessed why I lost my memory."
Xiahou Sheng smiled awkwardly when he saw that he had been found out.
"Oh? What did you find?" Lu Chen asked puzzledly.
Then Xiahou Sheng expressed his guess.
Because according to historical records, the Tianyin Mountain secret realm is a world of its own, with a total of nine layers, which is equivalent to nine spaces.
According to current records, only a small number of people have entered the ninth level when they were in the Jindan stage.
The most representative ones include Yan Feiyu, the world's number one master, Kuang Dao Xiaotian, the world's second best master, Qingxu Zhenren, etc., but their number is definitely not large.
Most other monks had only reached the seventh floor at most, and some had not even reached the second floor.
As for whether other cultivators have entered the ninth floor, or have entered but denied it after coming out, it is unknown.
But it is said that many large sects have come up with many ways to solve the mysterious resistance on each level of the stone stairs over the past thousand years.
Just like the magic mirror in Xiahou Sheng's hand, it is specially used to resist that mysterious resistance.
But after the test just now, Xiahou Sheng discovered that he lost his memory after coming down from the seventh level of space.
Xiahou Sheng used the magic mirror when he climbed to the seventh level of the stone stairs, but he had not used it before.
Therefore, we can conclude that if the monks rely on their own strength to climb the stone stairs, then they will be fine when they come down.
If you climbed the stone stairs by cheating, you would probably lose the corresponding memory whether you come down or are teleported out.
This is also the reason why many monks have clearly entered a higher dimension, but no one remembers it.
After listening to this, Lu Chen also sighed and thought:
"It seems that the ancients really put a lot of thought into the setting of the secret space."
Just as Lu Chen was feeling overwhelmed with emotion, a faint cry for help suddenly sounded.
With Lu Chen and Xiahou Sheng's cultivation level, they naturally heard the cry for help, but the two looked at each other and did not move, obviously not wanting to meddle in other people's business.
"Help! Brother Lu Chen, help! Wuuwu..."
"Ok?"
After hearing this, Lu Chen frowned slightly, and his body disappeared from the spot in an instant...
