Chapter 963: Chapter 611: Ascending Bone Mountain, Little Li’s Opportunity (Part 2)

"Mm." Little Li nodded seriously.

"What is that? Is it that person’s spiritual beast, also climbing the stairs?"

When Little Li jumped out of Lu Qing’s arms, the powerful spectators watching below were all taken aback.

Many had noticed this spiritual pet for quite some time.

After all, wherever that mysterious young man went, he carried it along.

Previously, during the hunt of the guardian beast outside the Ancient Tower, he brought this spiritual pet with him.

However, this spiritual beast had never displayed anything extraordinary, and the aura it emitted wasn’t strong.

So everyone just thought it was a cute pet that Lu Qing favored, with no peculiar traits.

But unexpectedly, Lu Qing took it along to climb the stairs.

Instantly, everyone felt astonished.

Then, when they saw Little Li really following Lu Qing, hopping up the stairs with ease.

Many powerful figures widened their eyes.

The powerful figures at the base of the Bone Mountain had almost all climbed the stairs and knew well the immense pressure on them.

Not to mention the pervasive invasion of Evil Qi.

It’s said that for a strong Golden Core Initial Realm cultivator, it’s quite difficult to climb the stairs, barely reaching the second bone segment.

So seeing such a small and adorable spiritual pet easily climbing the stairs, those Golden Core Initial Realm cultivators could hardly believe their eyes.

Suddenly, they realized that the cute spiritual pet the mysterious young man was always holding was also extraordinary.

It seemed even stronger than many of the Golden Core Realm strong cultivators present.

"That pet seems interesting."

The cold-faced veiled woman slightly shifted her eyes.

Little Li’s sudden appearance made the hearts and spirits of the powerful figures below even tenser.

Just like that, under the watchful eyes of many powerful figures, Lu Qing and Little Li climbed the stairs leisurely, step by step.

"Luckily, the pressure increase with each level isn’t too strong."

While climbing, Lu Qing also felt the changes on the stairs.

Then he discovered that the pressure increase for each level was just a trace, almost negligible for him.

This relaxed his heart significantly.

Otherwise, if the pressure increase for each level was strong, with so many levels on the stairs above the Bone Mountain, it would accumulate into a terrifying number.

"However, this Evil Qi erosion is somewhat stronger than the Primordial Blood of the Golden Core Initial Realm that was refined before but not as strong as the Golden Core Mid-Realm. Little Li should handle it without much issue."

Lu Qing felt while climbing.

Soon after, they reached the junction of the first and second segment of the Bone Mountain.

"Little Li, according to Ba Tian, the pressure and strength of the Evil Qi double with each bone segment. Be careful." Lu Qing cautioned.

"Got it," Little Li replied solemnly.

Seeing this, Lu Qing nodded slightly and stepped forward, officially entering the position of the second bone segment.

Immediately, he felt the pressure on him sharply increase.

Having climbed so many levels, the pressure accumulating on him was already considerable.

Now, it doubled instantly.

More importantly, even the Evil Qi underfoot doubled, almost reaching the level of the Evil Qi contained in the Golden Core Mid-Realm Primordial Blood.

Beside him, Little Li let out a light hum, shuddering slightly.

"Little Li, are you okay?" Lu Qing asked with concern.

"I’m fine," Little Li shook his head, "it’s just stronger pressure, I can still hold on."

"That’s good. If you can’t hold on, let me know."

One person and one beast continued climbing.

While the powerful figures below, seeing them climbing steadily on the second bone segment, began discussing again.

This time, however, their focus was not on Lu Qing but on Little Li.

"What kind of spiritual beast is it, that it can reach the second bone segment?"

"Although spiritual beasts usually have strong physical bodies, isn’t their Divine Soul Power typically weaker? How is it resisting the erosion of the Evil Qi?"

"Incredible! As expected, powerful beings have extraordinary spiritual pets, perhaps this spiritual beast has some kind of powerful ancient bloodline."

"Mutant Beasts with ancient bloodlines are generally the Royal Family of the Demon Clan and should be cultivating in the Demon Domain, not appearing here."

"Who knows? But this spiritual beast must have an extraordinary origin!"

"This young man is so mysterious, he might be connected to the Demon Domain, you never know."

"That’s an interesting guess, maybe it’s the truth."

No one was surprised that Lu Qing reached the second bone segment.

They had already witnessed his strength many times.

If he couldn’t even reach the second bone segment, that would be strange.

But Little Li achieving the same feat was quite shocking to everyone.

For a moment, everyone began guessing about Little Li’s origin.

Amidst the discussions of powerful figures, Lu Qing and Little Li continued climbing steadily.

The second bone segment, the third bone segment, the fourth bone segment...

As they climbed higher, they finally reached the junction of the fourth and fifth bone segment.

The gazes of the powerful figures below were once again filled with anticipation.

"Here they come, finally reaching the fifth bone segment."

"That spiritual pet can actually reach the fifth bone segment!"

"This fifth bone segment, besides another increase in pressure, the scariest part is, the pervasive vicious Evil Qi undergoes a qualitative change, starting to become tangible and not only limited to the feet but begins to envelop the body for a full-scale erosion."

"Most Golden Core Mid-Realm strong cultivators retreated in defeat at this fifth bone segment."

"Indeed, the tangible Evil Qi is terrifying and can corrode even Protective Dharma Treasures."

"I wonder if that spiritual beast can still withstand it."

In the eyes of the powerful figures, the tangible Evil Qi was not much of a threat to Lu Qing.

But for that small spiritual beast, it was uncertain.

The spiritual beast’s physical body is naturally strong, but their Divine Soul Power is generally weaker than cultivators of the same realm.

They wanted to see if Lu Qing’s spiritual beast could withstand the erosive Evil Qi after its qualitative change.

Unknowingly, the attention on Little Li from the powerful figures wasn’t any less than that on Lu Qing.

"Did that Evil Qi really condense into something tangible?"

Standing on the fifth bone segment, Lu Qing sensed the change around him, and his expression turned solemn.

He wasn’t worried about himself; this amount of Evil Qi couldn’t harm him.

He was concerned about Little Li. The Evil Qi on this fifth bone segment has far exceeded the level in the Golden Core Mid-Realm Primordial Blood.

"Little Li?"

"I’m fine, I can still manage."

Little Li’s voice was a bit strained but extremely firm.

At this moment, it was not only bearing immense pressure on its body but also had to stay highly alert to cope with the tangible Evil Qi.

Fortunately, its condensing is on an immaculate Innate top-quality Demon Core, and over the years, following Lu Qing, it had gained numerous opportunities.

This enabled its physical body to be robust and its Divine Soul exceptional, far surpassing other spiritual beasts of the same realm.

Additionally, unlike when refining the Primordial Blood, it just needed to ward it off externally.

So, despite the terrifying Evil Qi, Little Li could barely sustain it.

"Ah Qing, if we ascend another bone segment, I might have to use my Divine Skills," Little Li said at this point.

"No problem, the Sealing Power on the Bone Mountain is strong, and the Evil Qi is heavy. The people below wouldn’t dare to use Divine Soul Power to spy; using your Divine Skills won’t reveal much."

With the heavy Evil Qi on the Bone Mountain, anyone using Divine Soul Power would risk immediate invasion and descent into madness.

Lu Qing didn’t think the people below would court death like that.

"That spiritual beast actually withstands the Fifth Bone Segment’s Evil Qi erosion?"

Looking at Lu Qing and Little Li, who continued climbing after reaching the Fifth Bone Segment.

Many of the powerful figures watching below had their mouths agape.
