Li Feng followed Gao Yuanyuan out of the room, the base was extraordinarily lively, Gao Yuanyuan directly threw so climbing equipnt to Li Feng.
"These are climbing boots, climbing clothes, and these are tools for climbing. Familiarize yourself with them quickly; you'll need them for the climb."
Li Feng looked at the pile of climbing supplies on the open ground; it seems he has to walk up the Kunlun Mountain.
By noon, preparations were completed, and the team set off directly from the town at the foot of the mountain, including the Three Sects and Six Gates, the Ten Great Families, and so invited loose cultivators and small families ford a team that plunged straight into the Kunlun Great Snow Mountain ahead.
The Kunlun Mountain range is one of the most magnificent and imposing mountain ranges in the world; climbing it is by no ans an easy task.
Shu Road is difficult, more difficult than ascending to the heavens, and climbing Kunlun Mountain is like ascending to heaven itself.
On the first night, the group passed through a gorge and camped in a wind-sheltered area, the white-bladed wind howling like stabbing knives, making everyone suffer.
The next day, the sky cleared again, and the team broke camp and moved upward; as they went deeper into the Kunlun Mountain range, the path gradually disappeared.
A winding mountain path on the cliff appeared before them.
"This is the Kunlun Dao Palace's Ascending Path, said to be 9,999 ters long, with a thousand ters deep cliff on one side, and if you fall, there's no chance of survival."
Li Feng lifted his head, exhaled a breath of air that turned into icy mist, and looked again at the endless Ascending Path before him.
The mountain top was covered by a thick layer of clouds.
"Stay close."
The group took a short break and directly embarked on the Ascending Path, spreading out miles apart, fortunately, everyone present practiced martial arts, their physical fitness was not ordinary.
As they climbed, Li Feng felt his bones turn cold, the sky above seed within reach.
"Be careful; the next segnt is the most difficult one, the Heavenly Barrier."
Gao Yuanyuan's voice rang in his ear again, Li Feng nodded, was the Heavenly Barrier referring to this cloud layer region?
As the team continued forward, visibility around them dropped sharply, strong winds swept ice shards, pelting down, making it hard to breathe and impossible to keep their eyes open.
Under the might of heaven, humans instantly beca insignificant.
But in the eyes of cultivators, they firmly believed humanity could conquer heaven; the Ascending Path was about taming the Heavenly Dao, and if they couldn't even climb this simple path, naturally they shouldn't think about cultivation and transcending mortal limits.
Li Feng, despite his robust physique, couldn't help but pant heavily.
Hmm.
Suddenly, Li Feng noticed the people in front of him had stopped, and the cold wind and snow seed to have lessened.
Looking up.
It wasn't a winding mountain path, but a platform on the mountainside, and on the platform stood two towering figures blocking the group's path.
These figures were two ters tall, taller than the tallest humans today by more than twice, and their bodies covered in fur that the chilly winds couldn't penetrate.
"Senior Sister, isn't this a Kunlun Mountain wildman? Aren't we unlucky."
Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Li Feng.
"These are Kunlun Mountain giants, ape-like creatures, also the guardian beasts of Kunlun Mountain; they're here guarding the Kunlun Mountain Gate."
"Seeing these giants ans the Kunlun Dao Palace is not far."
"Really? We're finally arriving."
Li Feng said delightedly.
Sure enough, the two giants didn't attack them, and under the guidance of the Kunlun guide, directed the two massive giants to the rock wall.
The giants bent down, grabbing two giant iron chains from the snow-covered ground, each link as big as a baby's fist, and as the giant hauled the chain, it tightened instantly.
The giant turned back, shouldering the chain, and the next second, stomped the snowy ground, leaning forward.
The chain tightened, and under the pull of the two mighty giants, the rock wall shifted, a massive stone gate opened.
"Stop gazing, hurry in."
Gao Yuanyuan pulled Li Feng, and the group hurried through the opening wall into the mountain, Li Feng thought to himself, could it be that the Kunlun Dao Palace is inside the mountain cave?
They continued to traverse.
When reaching the end of the cave.
"Hiss."
Li Feng stood at the cave opening, looking out into the distance, instantly stunned by the scene before him despite having seen many buildings.
Even the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, hadn't made Li Feng gasp in wonder.
But seeing the Kunlun Dao Palace before him, Li Feng was astounded.
In the distance stood a towering mountain peak, covered in ice and snow, upon which a Dao Palace as if from a fairyland was built.
With its height piercing through the cloud layers, the sunlight showered light onto the palace, creating a scenic beauty found only in an otherworldly place.
Moreover, this Dao Palace is extraordinarily large, rarely seen in the world, occupying almost an entire mountain peak, and built at the several thousand-ter altitude of Kunlun Mountain, it's simply a world wonder.
Imagine ordinary people standing here, exhausted and gasping for breath.
Let alone constructing such a majestic and splendid building here, unless called a miracle, there's no other way to describe it.
"So big, so beautiful, is this Kunlun."
Many were visiting Kunlun for the first ti, though the two-day climb was exhausting, upon seeing the Kunlun Dao Palace, all grievances disappeared.
Everyone marveled at the miracle of the Kunlun Dao Palace, feeling it's truly the place for transcending the mundane; it's where cultivators like them should reside.
"Everyone, here is the end of the Ascending Path, ahead is our Kunlun Dao Palace, we've prepared the palace for you."
"Please follow ."
With that.
The Kunlun disciple turned around, took a leap, landing one foot on a giant iron chain bridge connecting the platform to the opposite Kunlun Dao Palace.
This iron chain bridge has no wooden planks laid; it's a solitary chain as thick as an arm, one end linked to the cave exit, the other to the entrance of the Kunlun Dao Palace.
There are three such chains.
"What the heck is this, the journey has been freezing with biting winds and nights spent on snowy ground, not to ntion the Ascending Path which was rough enough, and now there's this iron chain bridge."
"Is this how Kunlun treats its guests?"
A clan leader from a small family looked on, his face pale.
This over-thousand-ter iron chain, suspended between two mountains, with an imnse chasm below almost bottomless, the thick clouds resembling an abyss.
While the iron chain swayed continuously in the mountain wind, crusted with ice, any slight mistake would lead to a fall.
"If you fall, is there any chance to live."
"Exactly, who could cross this."
So small families and loose cultivators started cursing, clearly feeling the sequence of barriers was excessively difficult.
They ca to Kunlun for martial arts discourse, not to endure challenges.
What the heck is this.
