Chapter 1404 Red Light Column
The heavy responsibility of refining the elixir naturally fell on Lu Yun again.
In addition to each person receiving a life-extending pill at the scene, the remaining dozen or so life-extending pills all fell into Lu Yun's hands.
It is useless to take too much of this longevity pill, so the extra pills are left to Lu Yun.
But Lu Yun is still very young and his life span is almost endless. Of course, this requires him to become an immortal through cultivation.
After taking the pills, everyone absorbed the medicinal power of the longevity pills under the protection of Lu Yun and the other two.
"Hahaha! I feel like I'm young again!"
"As expected of a second-grade elixir, the effect is extraordinary!"
"Hurry up, come over and thank my friend!"
A group of powerful men stood in a row and saluted Lu Yun at the same time.
Lu Yun quickly moved aside and did not dare to accept the gift.
Are you kidding? Any one of these monks could probably be his ancestor. He wants to live a few more years and doesn't want to die so early.
"My friend, if you want to find the Dragon Soul Grass, you might as well go to the Road to Heaven with us." A cultivator suggested.
"Senior, the road to heaven is not suitable for me. I haven't reached the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm yet. It will be useless even if I go to the upper realm."
"Hey! What are you talking about, young man? Asking you to go to the road to heaven does not mean you can go to the upper realm. But I heard that there are all kinds of treasures on the road to heaven. Maybe the Dragon Soul Grass is among them." Another cultivator added.
The Dragon Soul Grass was so attractive to Lu Yun that he nodded and agreed without even thinking about it.
Instead, Long Ying pulled him aside worriedly.
"Lu Yun, we can't put ourselves in danger again. We won't be so lucky every time!"
"No risk, no gain. For Brother Da Pao, I am willing to go through fire and water."
Lu Yun's words sounded beautiful, but only he knew that Long Dapao's following them not only did not restore his spirit, but also helped him a lot.
Now he can only keep this kindness deep in his heart and wait for a chance to repay it slowly in the future.
But everyone was in trouble again. This secret realm was so vast. They had been here for so long, and they might not have even walked through one tenth of it.
Moreover, it is even more difficult to find the way to heaven.
As night fell, everyone meditated and rested.
Suddenly, a red beam of light appeared in the east and shot straight into the sky.
Everyone stood up and looked in the direction of the light column.
"Oracle! It must be an oracle!"
"God has mercy on me. Finally, God has opened his eyes!"
“Hahaha! There’s hope of reaching the sky, there’s hope of reaching the sky!”
"..."
All the monks laughed happily.
Lu Yun looked at the beam of light in great confusion, then turned to look at Long Ying.
And Long Ying looked at Lu Yun with a confused expression, obviously having no clue at all.
Taoist Master Daoxuan arrived suddenly.
"My friend, that place should be the road to heaven. Come with me and take a look!"
Lu Yun was suspicious. Are these cultivators crazy about the road to heaven? They think any slight movement is a hint of the road to heaven.
However, for him, as long as he was looking for the Dragon Soul Grass, it didn't matter where he went.
So, he was driven towards the red beam of light along with several monks by his still sleeping dragon cannon.
In less than an hour, everyone arrived near the red light column. Here, Lu Yun saw nearly thirty cultivators.
This red beam of light is very eye-catching, but now there are only so many monks coming here. Compared with the previous time when they entered the secret realm, there are more than half fewer people.
It is conceivable that those monks met with accidents and could never come here again.
The red light column covers a very large area, and one can vaguely see the monks on the opposite side through the light column.
Taoist Master Daoxuan was undoubtedly the backbone among these people. After some discussion, he decided to send a cultivator into the light column to explore.
However, the biggest problem was choosing the right person to enter the light column.
Because no one knows what will happen once entering the light column. After all, everyone is dying and everyone cherishes the last moments.
Finally, it was an old man who was about to die who took the initiative to step forward.
In full view of everyone, the old man straightened his clothes, looked calm as if he was ready to die, and strode into the red light column.
Everyone remained calm, their eyes fixed on the old man in the beam of light.
At first, there was no change in the old man. On the contrary, there was an intriguing smile on his face.
However, as time passed, the smile on the old man's face disappeared, replaced by a determined expression.
At the same time, people outside also saw that a step appeared in front of the old man.
The old man plucked up his courage and climbed up the step. Then, the second step immediately appeared.
The old man couldn't wait to climb the second step, and then the third step appeared and the first step disappeared.
Just like that, the old man in the red beam of light quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Finally, someone couldn't contain his excitement and walked quickly into the red beam of light.
With someone taking the lead, others followed. Soon, seven or eight monks entered the red light column and successfully climbed several steps.
“It is indeed the road to heaven!”
"We can't let them get there first! I'm leaving now!"
"The Heaven Gate has opened, and this is a great opportunity for us to enter the upper realm!"
"..."
For a moment, everyone rushed into the red beam of light.
Lu Yun stood outside the light column, watching these people disappear one by one, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
"This road to heaven seems to appear too easily, doesn't it? I have been looking for it for so long, are we waiting for this moment?"
Taoist Master Daoxuan on the side was also getting impatient and was rubbing his hands, eager to try.
"Senior, it's okay to wait and see." Lu Yun kindly reminded.
However, his words were met with disdain from others.
"What do you know, kid? The road to heaven waits for no one. If someone takes the quota, who knows when the next road to heaven will open?"
Taoist Master Daoxuan believed this man's words without a doubt and suddenly stepped into the red beam of light.
Lu Yun said to Long Ying beside him, "I'm going in. You stay outside and watch over Brother Da Pao."
"Be careful." Long Ying did not stop him, but instead gave a warning.
Lu Yun nodded slightly, turned and entered the red light column.
Suddenly, he heard a soft sound in his ears. The sound seemed to come from his mind, and also seemed to come from the endless ladder above.
At this moment, some monks outside were still hesitant.
Lu Yun ignored them and climbed up the first step.
Suddenly, he felt his body sink, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
Climbing up the second step, the invisible pressure doubled.
"Hiss~ There's something special about this ladder." Lu Yun thought to himself, "How much pressure does it take to climb such a high step?"
Lu Yun thought to himself that if he tried his best, he should be able to make it to the 100th step, but he wasn't sure if he could make it past that.
However, there is no turning back once the work has started, and for the sake of the Dragon Cannon, he would go up and take a look no matter what.
So he stepped up to the third step.
