I am the villain, plundering the destiny of the heroine

Xian'er is not stupid, she has figured out my purpose...

Li Xu was originally heading for the second teleportation circle. It was not until he flew close to the "sun" in the sky that he could see clearly that it was not a star at all, but an oval light door similar to the previous entrance to the ruins.

Below the light door are ninety-nine steps made of blue bricks, which can only be seen clearly if you fly close.

When he flew within ten meters of the blue brick stairs, Li Xu suddenly felt the suppressive force of the magic circle. The soul power cultivation that Su Xianer lent him was all restrained in his body by that suppressive force. He could no longer maintain his air-control state, and fell involuntarily to the ninety-nine steps below.

"No! There is a forbidden air formation near this light door, so you can't fly in directly!"

Su Xian'er exclaimed that something was wrong and discovered the origin of that suppressive force.

…

At the same time, Ji Weiming, who was constantly avoiding the pursuit of the vicious and charming spirit from behind, saw Li Xu landing on the bluestone stairs below the light door, and his tense heartstrings could not help but relax quietly.

She has been to the second floor of the ruins many times and knows that there is a powerful magic circle around the second light door. Once any monk approaches, his cultivation will be suppressed by the power of the surrounding magic circle. He can only climb the ninety-ninth floor. Enter the light door via bluestone stairs.

Ji Weiming didn't know why there was a powerful magic circle near the Light Gate at first. Later, when she entered the second level area to explore, she realized that the magic circles near the Light Gate all came from the bluestone stairs below.

The ninety-nine-level bluestone staircase was actually a treasure used by the Haotian Sect to test the qualifications of its disciples 20,000 years ago. The better the qualifications of the person being tested, the higher they can go on the bluestone staircase.

As long as they fall on the bluestone stairs, even a first-grade monk will be suppressed in their cultivation and can only climb on foot with their own strength.

Before the Haotian Sect was destroyed by the catastrophe of heaven and earth, the leader of the Haotian Sect knew that he would not survive the disaster, so he refined all the elders and disciples under his sect into puppets, and buried the entire sect under the ice field, hoping that the ice and snow would melt in the future in the end of the Dharma era. In the end, the elders and disciples who were transformed into puppets by him can see the light of day and be resurrected.

Therefore, in order to prevent future generations from coming to the ruins and destroying the puppets, the Haotian sect master used the bluestone ladder, a treasure that tests the aptitude of the bones, to act as a seal guarding the entrance to the second floor of the ruins.

Ji Weiming accidentally entered the ruins of the ruins when she was young. With the supply of a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures accumulated by the Haotian Sect, it only took more than twenty years to be promoted to the first level of Tribulation Realm. This qualification is certainly incomparable. It's better than Li Tianai, but it's enough to be called a world-shattering monster and a heaven-defying monster.

But even if you are a monster like Ji Weiming, even if your cultivation level has reached the first-level Tribulation Realm, climbing the bluestone stairs is still very difficult and extremely strenuous. Every time you go up a step, you feel that there is an extra mountain pressing on your shoulders. Waiting for the ninety-ninth floor It usually only takes half a day to walk the stairs completely.

"Even if it's so difficult for me to climb the stairs, he will definitely be slower than me. Maybe he won't be able to reach the entrance above the ninety-ninth floor."

Ji Weiming kept an eye on Li Xu's figure as he descended to the first level of the stairs, silently thinking in her heart.

She has already verified through personal practice how difficult it is to climb the bluestone stairs. It is no exaggeration to say that the first fifty steps alone are enough to kill 99% of the monks in the world.

Even in the heyday of cultivation 20,000 years ago when the Mahayana was like a dog walking across the earth, monks who could climb the ninety-nine steps were as rare as a feather.

It is precisely because the climb is so difficult that the Haotian Sect Master regards this staircase as a seal to guard the entrance to the second floor.

"Even if he can walk up the ninety-nine stairs, he won't be as fast as me."

"He has already used thirteen of those weird elixirs. There cannot be too many left. I will definitely catch him on the stairs!"

…

"It's okay. If you can't fly, just take the stairs. It's better for us!"

Li Xu sent a message to comfort Su Xianer.

Even Ji Weiming knew how difficult it was to climb the bluestone stairs. He had cleared the entire original game in his previous life, so how could he not understand?

"In the original book, this staircase is a treasure used by the Haotian Sect to test the qualifications of its disciples... I don't believe it. I have more than 170 great fortunes. What can Ji Wei do to compete with me for qualifications?"

With this thought, Li Xu gritted his teeth and ran towards the light door at the top of the stairs.

Ten floors.

Twenty floors.

Thirty floors.

Looking at Li Xu's figure walking swiftly on the stairs, Ji Weiming's beautiful eyes, originally full of chilling coldness, gradually showed colorful ripples.

The opponent's basic qualifications were much higher than he expected, and the first thirty floors were almost no difficulty for him.

Forty floors.

Fifty floors.

Sixty floors.

"this!"

Ji Weiming's pupils trembled slightly. You must know that the pressure above the 50th floor of the stairs is very different from that below the 50th floor. In the past, every time she climbed to the 50th floor, she started to falter, but Li Xu still remained He still looked like he was walking as fast as flying, and the speed of his feet did not slow down at all.

"His qualifications are so much higher than mine?!"

To be able to become the first female emperor in the history of Tianxuan Continent, Ji Wei is undoubtedly extremely arrogant in her life, and will never accept the fact that she is inferior to others, and she is inferior to the evil demon thief who can only flee in panic when she is being chased.

"Is it because you are too afraid of being caught up by me, so you desperately want to escape to the second level of the ruins at all costs?" Ji Weiming came up with a reason.

"But even if you try your best, it's still useless. The closer you get to the top of the stairs, the more terrifying the pressure becomes. If you just hold yourself up and run, it will only cause irreparable damage to your bones."

"In the end, I don't even need to take action. You will be crushed to pieces because you can't bear the force of suppression..."

Ji Wei had not yet settled on this thought, when she suddenly saw Li Xu's running steps suddenly speeding up, and he rushed through the seventy floors, then the eighty, and the ninety floors in one breath!

Ji Weiming: "???"

Have you really not felt even the slightest bit of resistance?

"The Haotian Sect's most precious treasure is nothing more than this..."

Li Xu originally only planned to outrun Ji Wei, but he never thought that not only would he be able to run smoothly on the bluestone steps, but there would also be a floating force on the surface of the steps, lifting the soles of his feet to help him move at an even faster speed. Climbing access.

"If I travel back to 20,000 years ago, based on the results of this qualification test, I can at least become the Holy Son of the Haotian Sect, right?"

Before Li Xu could think too much, he had already rushed to the last level of the bluestone stairs, kicked his legs hard, jumped up and jumped towards the light door in front of him.

The moment the soles of his feet broke away from the stairs, he suddenly heard a "buzz" sound under his feet, and the ninety-nine-story bluestone stairs let out an overwhelmed whine.

The next moment, dense spider web-like cracks appeared on the entire staircase, and it began to disintegrate inch by inch from the top. In the deafening "bang" explosions one after another, it collapsed into countless fragments and dust!

"...It collapsed! It actually collapsed..."

Ji Weiming's brain went blank for a moment, and she stared blankly at the shattered ruins in front of her, feeling even more incredible than seeing the sky collapse.

"The Qingyun Staircase is obviously a treasure used by the Haotian Sect to test the qualifications of its disciples. The material is indestructible. Why did it suddenly break and collapse after being climbed by the evil demon thief?"

"Is it because Qingyun Ladder cannot detect his qualifications..."

As soon as this ridiculous speculation emerged, Ji Weiming felt even more unbelievable. She quickly moved her eyes away from the ruins, but Li Xu had already jumped into the light door, and he was no longer visible.

…

…

Every time the teleportation circle moved randomly, Li Xu felt his navel being pulled hard by a hook. As soon as his front foot got rid of the dizzy state of spinning around, he heard Su Xianer's confused voice on his back foot:

"You brat, that ninety-nine-story stone staircase just now reminds me of a magic weapon recorded in ancient books."

Li Xu looked around and saw that he had been moved by the teleportation circle into a cave. The rock wall of the cave was covered with pictures and characters.

As he walked towards the rock wall engraved with pictures and characters, he asked Su Xianer calmly: "What magical weapon?"

"Qingyun Ladder!"

Su Xian'er said categorically: "The more I recall, the more familiar it seems. According to ancient records, ten thousand years - well, it's ten thousand years away from me, and it's twenty thousand years away from your time. At that time, there was a great power on the mainland. The most powerful sect at that time was called Haotian Sect.”

"Haotian Sect has a treasure that is specially designed to test the aptitude of bones. It is called Qingyun Ladder. It is exactly the same as the stone staircase you climbed just now..."

Li Xu shook his head and interrupted: "It's not exactly the same. The stone staircase just now is indeed the Qingyun Staircase."

"Huh?" Su Xian'er was startled.

"look by youself."

Li Xu stretched out his hand and pointed to the mural in front of him. The three characters "Haotian Sect" were engraved on the surface of the rock wall like dragons and phoenixes.

"Good guy! This is really the ruins of the Haotian Sect!"

Su Xian'er was shocked, surprised and happy: "The ruins of the Haotian Sect that Emperor Jiuri spent his whole life searching for turned out to be hidden in this ghostly place in the north!"

Li Xuzheng was carefully watching the content of the mural. When he heard Su Xianer's sudden exclamation, two question marks suddenly appeared on his forehead.

Nine Days Emperor?

Why the hell does this sound so familiar to me?

"Xian'er, who is the Nine-Day Emperor? If you take out the word "Xu" in my name, it is also called Jiu-ri."

"..."

Su Xian'er was speechless for a moment, then said angrily: "Stop putting gold on your face, even if there are one million or ten million of you, they can't compare to a hair of the Nine-Day Emperor!"

Li Xu frowned, feeling unhappy that Su Xian'er supported another man in front of him. Before he could continue to ask, Su Xian'er explained:

"No one in the world can compare with the Nine-Day Emperor. He is the savior who ended the catastrophe of the world. Without the Nine-Day Emperor, the world would have been destroyed by the catastrophe 20,000 years ago. Almost everyone in our era was a monk. I grew up listening to the legend of the Nine-Day Emperor and the Holy Queen Ji Wei!"

Li Xu: "???"

"No! Just wait!"

Li Xu couldn't bear to feel unhappy because Su Xian'er supported another man, and the question marks on his forehead became geometrically dense:

"You just said Ji Wei was destined to be the Holy Queen, right? How come the Nine Days Emperor is related to Ji Wei's destiny again?!"

Su Xianer curled her lips indifferently and said: "The Holy Queen Ji Wei I'm talking about has the same name as Ji Wei Ming in the North. One is the Holy Queen who assisted the Nine-Day Emperor to end the catastrophe of heaven and earth 20,000 years ago. , one is the empress who will lead the barbarians in the north 20,000 years later, and the two have nothing to do with each other. "

Li Xu was thoughtful, and then asked after thinking: "What kind of catastrophe did the Nine-Day Emperor end? I have never heard of his deeds."

Not only had he never heard of the Nine-Day Emperor in the original game in his previous life, but he had also never heard of him in reality.

It's normal to think about it. Twenty thousand years is really too long. The sea has turned into a mulberry field and countless natural resources and treasures have disappeared. Even if the so-called Nine Days Emperor was famous twenty thousand years ago, it has already been submerged in the long river of history.

"You've never heard of normality." Su Xian'er said eloquently: "After all, even the Fountain of Immortality has become extinct by your time. No matter what ancient books and legends are, it can't be preserved for that long."

"However, even if the legend of the Nine-Day Emperor is not preserved in your era, it still cannot change the fact that he once saved the world. Take the ruins of the Haotian Sect you are currently in as an example."

"During the heyday of cultivation 20,000 years ago, the Haotian Sect was the most prosperous and powerful top-level sect at that time. There were more than a hundred elders in the first-level Tribulation Realm alone."

"But one day, the world-destroying catastrophe suddenly broke out. The heavenly way collapsed, the earth sank, and the spiritual power was exhausted. The sun fell and the moon fell. Even the powerful Haotian Sect was destroyed without resistance under the catastrophe. The other monks and common people were naturally even more casualties. countless……"

When Li Xu heard this thought, he suddenly thought of the catastrophe that Jiang Yue had told him. Is there any connection between that catastrophe and the catastrophe that happened 20,000 years ago?

"In the desperate background of the doomsday at that time, the Nine-Day Emperor was rising like the rising sun. With the assistance of his wife Ji Wei, the Holy Queen, he saved the people from the catastrophe!"

It can be heard that Su Xianer really admires the Nine-Day Emperor to the extreme. When she mentions the words "Nine-Day Emperor", her voice trembles slightly with excitement.

It's just that the name "Ji Wei's Holy Queen" doesn't sound right to Li Xu. The sense of dissonance shouldn't be too strong.

"While collecting the collapsed fragments of Heavenly Dao, the Nine-Day Emperor created a desperate apocalypse for the unification of the dynasty, and established a new order for the people of the world..."

"Wait a minute! What does it mean to collect the collapsed fragments of heaven?" Li Xu frowned and asked, feeling that the more Su Xianer explained, the more mysterious it became.

When he heard Su Xian'er say that the catastrophe was coming and the way of heaven collapsed, he thought it was just an exaggeration. Unexpectedly, he didn't expect that the way of heaven actually collapsed and exploded into pieces.

"The fragments of Heaven's Dao are fragments of Heaven's Dao. If you insist on asking what they mean -"

Su Xianer pondered for a while and came up with an accurate reference: "The Six Paths of Heaven Swallowing Technique, the Burning Fire Technique, the Earth-shattering Charming Technique that you are currently practicing, including the Frozen Thousand Miles that Ji Wei was practicing, etc., all of the heaven-level techniques belong to Fragments of heaven!”
