Chapter 2742: Illusions

Even though he had lifted his foot, Old Patriarch Xie was unable to step up the ladder. He sighed after staring at the stair in front of him for a long time. He drew his foot back and looked at Feng Jiu. I can only seem to get here. Im only going to do what I can, so I wont go up.

After a pause, he looked at Feng Jiu. You still have a long way to go. Be careful.

Yes. After giving this reply, Feng Jiu turned around and continued to walk ahead.

From behind, the old man observed how she walked with ease, never stopping, as if nothing could stop her. After she pa.s.sed those cultivators and her figure faded away, he exhaled softly and went down.

After reaching this stage, his mental state seemed to s.h.i.+ft to a higher level, and the spirit energy in his body surged. Even if he did not reach the top of the Immortal Ascension Ladder, this journey was fruitful for him.

The higher Feng Jiu went, the more she couldnt see the path ahead of her. She had no idea how many more steps were left.As she had not yet reached the top of the ladder, she had to continue walking. For some reason, she was unable to see the individuals in front of and behind her. No other voices could be heard as if she were alone on this path.

She walked slowly, and all of a sudden, a strong gust of wind hit her so hard that she couldnt open her eyes and her body seemed to be blown down. She stopped for a moment, and when she looked ahead, all she could see was the gale blowing in all directions.

The gale brought a severe downpour. When the wind-driven rain fell, it felt as though stones were cras.h.i.+ng down on her body. She was in pain and her spirit energy breath appeared to be ineffective at the time. She was unable to s.h.i.+eld herself from the wind and rain.

She was only aware that as the heavy rain was pouring down, her black hair stuck to her cheek and her red robe clung to her body. It was much more difficult for her to walk because her clothes were drenched.

However, she did not stop because, at some time, the steps behind her began to vanish, and it appeared that if she stopped, she would fall. So, even though she wasnt climbing quickly, she kept walking step by step.

After an unknown amount of time, the gale and the storm ceased, and a searing sun took their place. She had the impression that the sun was s.h.i.+ning right on top of her head. The scorching heat baked the moisture out of her clothes and hair, and the water evaporated into the air.

The clothes that had been wet and stuck to her body were now dry, but sweat ran down his back and soaked her clothes. She was so thirsty that she reached out into s.p.a.ce to get some water. However, she found out that she couldnt get anything.

She was just baffled for a moment, but then she continued walking. On this path, there didnt seem to be any night. She had been walking for what seemed like a long time, but she still hadnt reached the end of the path.

She used up a lot of physical strength so her pace gradually slowed. At this point, the weather on the Immortal Ascension Ladder changed again. Earlier, the sun was so bright that she couldnt open her eyes, but after that, she seemed to have landed in a world of ice and snow. Snowflakes were fluttering in the cold wind.

The snowfall was getting heavier, the temperature plummeting to such an extreme that even the road beneath her feet had been blanketed in snow. She could not resist reaching down to take a handful of snow as she was parched. However, before she could put the snow in her mouth, she saw it vanish in her hand.
