In half a year, Lu Ming was already able to push this rock halfway up the mountain.

But now, it had already been eleven months. Lu Ming did not attempt to push this rock for a whole five months. His body looked weaker and thinner, but in reality, that frail body contained an unimaginable burst of strength.

Lu Ming now had a total of five ropes, four limbs and a torso, each rope had a large rock tied to it. This was not the beginning where each stone was as small as an adult, and under a thousand times gravity, the weight of these five stones was hard to imagine.

But Lu Ming's expression did not seem to be struggling at all, he slowly began to train, and just like that, a smooth day passed by. After being in contact for a while, the big bear seemed to like this little thing in front of him.

From the first day onwards, he had basically told all kinds of stories to Lu Ming every single day, and never would he repeat them again. He told Lu Ming all kinds of things that he had experienced from his birth until now, including all the strange things that he knew.

This was because from the mouth of the big bear, he had a very general idea of what happened a thousand years ago. Slowly, he also had a very vague concept of the era and the world at that time, although he had never seen it before, but it had to be said that the big bear's eloquence was still pretty good, and its description was pretty good. Lu Ming was still able to find out from words what the world looked like a thousand years ago.

Lu Ming was startled. The silence of the big bear made him feel that something was wrong.

"What happened to you?"

"Nothing, your strength is already sufficient. Go."

As he said that, he waved his hand and all the ropes rose into the air, forming a new rope. He tied the ropes behind his tail, causing the big bear to let out a huge yawn.

Lu Ming was already somewhat accustomed to this kind of lifestyle. He never would have thought that unknowingly, his own strength had already risen to an extremely terrifying level.

It was just that he had not realised it yet. Lu Ming began to push the huge rock, which was not as heavy as he had imagined.

One mountain after another, and one river after another, were as insignificant as earthworms in Lu Ming's eyes. That big bear looked like a small ant.

Just as Lu Ming was thinking about it, suddenly, his eyes lit up, and all the scenery disappeared. Standing in front of the small stone tablet, Lu Ming could not help but be stunned. Why did he come back? Could it be a failure?

The old man and the A qilin beast were all there, looking at Lu Ming.

"What's going on? Did I fail? Why are you back so suddenly? " Lu Ming said in a daze.

You did not, very well, you succeeded, according to your current strength, to be able to pass the first three stages is already quite impressive, you have already spent 20 years here, while the outside world has spent 20 days here, it is about time for you to return. I know, the time you took leave in Immortal Cultivation World is only one month, go back.

Lu Ming was slightly stunned, he did not expect that it would only be for twenty days.

In the future, you will discover that controlling the flow of time is just a small trick. As long as your strength reaches a certain realm and you set up any kind of formation, you can achieve this kind of goal. Most importantly, you must know that by the time you reach that level, time will no longer matter how important it is.

The old man nodded his head, "Although I am a herbal medicine, I know that you need time to accumulate energy, break through the barrier, and reach a higher level, but when your strength reaches a certain level, time will no longer have any effect, nor will accumulating resources be of any use. All you need is a flash of light to be able to break through the true barrier, do you understand?"

The A qilin beast looked at Lu Ming, its eyes filled with satisfaction. It had chosen this person, and sure enough, it had gotten its own request, he had originally wanted to let Lu Ming pass the two trials, but for some reason, it allowed Lu Ming to pass the third trial. It was unexpected that he actually succeeded.

"Alright, it's time for you to leave. I'll give you a token and you can come back when you have the chance to reach the first rank. At that time, the two trials will still be waiting for you."

Lu Ming nodded his head, he did not say much as he suddenly thought of a question, then raised his head and asked, "When I was looking for the entrance to the third stage, I found corpses that fill the sky, are they real?"

The man that the A qilin beast had transformed into smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's real. You can imagine this stone tablet as a spatial ring, and all the corpses are the spirits of my subordinates. I killed them all."

Suddenly returning to the real world, he found it hard to accept. This is because he had gotten used to staying in that place that was rich of spirit energy, and now that he had suddenly arrived in the real world, which was filled with spirit energy, Lu Ming felt extremely uncomfortable from head to toe.

Lu Ming looked around, and could sense that there was a sand grain in the river, it contained a gigantic world, of course it was also because he had the order badge in his hand, otherwise, he would not be able to feel it.

Although Lu Ming had not known him for long, he understood that in this world, the division of strength was not as simple as just the ninth stage, because in these corpses, there were probably corpses with strengths exceeding the first stage.

Lu Ming rose into the air, wanting to find his bearings. Right at this moment, he suddenly heard a sonic boom in the sky, he immediately concealed himself, and looked towards the direction where he hid. There were seven to eight people sitting on a blanket, flying quickly towards the same direction.

could not see most of the people clearly, but there was one person that Lu Ming could see very clearly, it was the President Shangguan of the Chinese Martial Alliance!
