The next day, when the sun rose and drove away the cold air in the mountains, Zhao Jiuge saw the scenery at the other end of the chain clearly. The place where the sky met seemed like an egg-yolk-like rising sun hanging, and the thick emerald trees were all painted with a layer of pale golden light.
The white cold air gradually became thinner, and the rising temperature caused the flowers, plants and trees to be filled with crystal clear dew, adding a bit of vitality to the scene.
After waiting all night, dozens of people came one after another. Those who were supposed to come must have come, and those who didn't have the courage to come would not come. At this time, a group of young girls seemed to be frozen eggplants. generally.
They were no longer as energetic and listless as they were at the beginning. Thinking of the people who fell off the cliff one night, even arrogant people like Bai Zimo felt depressed and realized the fragility of life.
Smelling the fresh air in the deep mountains and old forests, Zhao Jiuge changed his depressed mood, took a deep breath, and then spit it out for a long time, as if he wanted to spit out all the unhappiness in his heart.
"There are more people than I thought, but I still have to congratulate you for passing the first level of the trial." Zhao Jiuge was startled by the words he suddenly remembered. When he looked up, he found Coach Zhou standing proudly on the flying sword. , with a face that looks like a smile but not a smile.
Hearing this, the crowd gathered in the crowd all raised their heads in unison. Behind Coach Zhou stood two other coaches. Behind the three of them, there were dozens of figures, except for Xuan, who was wearing a blue sword robe. The disciples of the Tianjian Sect, there are actually some figures behind those disciples, and they are all standing with their swords in the air at this time.
Zhao Jiuge had a look of astonishment on his face, his eyes widened, feeling incredible that he had discovered Luo Xie. Luo Xie was walking in front of him last night, but he didn't see him when he came. He thought he fell off the cliff and died, and he still felt uncomfortable for a long time. , but now such a scene appears.
How is this going!
Doubts appeared in everyone's hearts, and the leader, Coach Zhou, seemed to know the doubts in everyone's hearts, and a rare smile appeared on his cold and dull face.
"I really want to know what's going on. In fact, this level is just a test of your bravery. As long as you have the courage to take a step forward, no matter whether you make it to the other side, you will pass. As for the danger of life, we have been paying attention to your every move. , Of course, there is no danger to life. But, for those who are timid and even run away, huh, such people will not want such disciples even if Xuantian Sword Sect declines."
Coach Zhou patiently explained every word with a smile, but at the end of the sentence, the conversation changed and a cold and murderous aura emerged.
After hearing Coach Zhou's explanation, everyone, including Zhao Jiuge, suddenly realized that the boys and girls behind the Xuantian Sword Sect disciples all looked embarrassed, but fortunately they passed the test and picked up one of their own. His life was frightened in vain, but the moment he fell off the cliff and thought he was going to die, he discovered many things and different opinions, which was also the biggest gain.
"Let's go, I will take you to the next location. If you can pass, you will arrive at Xuantian Sword Sect. Then you will officially be a disciple of Xuantian Sword Sect." Without any unnecessary nonsense, the three coaches and some Xuantian Sword Sect disciples sleeved their robes. As soon as he waved it, Zhao Jiuge felt a sense of suspension, and he was attracted to the flying sword.
I once again experienced the feeling of soaring in the sky, soaring into the clouds and mist, but the feeling was different every time. This is because the experience has changed. In a few breaths, in the blink of an eye, the place has arrived.
In front of me is a densely packed staircase extending upward, made of white unknown material with some light yellow mixed in. It looks like a staircase. This staircase goes from the mountainside to the top of the mountain.
The entire mountain seemed to be wearing a jade-white belt, looking so out of place and revealing its mystery.
"The second test is to climb the stairs. This is too easy." A carefree young man said with a frivolous smile.
Coach Zhou immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted with an unkind expression, "If the pursuit of the Immortal Path tests courage, then this second step of stepping on the road to heaven is a test of perseverance. The entire ladder has nine hundred and ninety-nine levels, symbolizing the Immortal Path." It’s so difficult for some people, don’t be complacent just because you have some spiritual power, your little spiritual power is like a drop of water in the ocean, what can you do!”
A loud shout was like a blow to the head that woke up those young masters with good family backgrounds, and also made some people realize the symbol of strength.
But there are also those young boys who are not afraid of tigers when they are born, and they are very competitive. At this moment, a boy with a nonchalant face and red dimples on his face stepped out, "I'll go first, isn't it the stairs? I want to see how amazing it is."
Coach Li gently stroked his beard and smiled lightly, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Coach Zhou had a sarcastic and disdainful look on his face. He was used to seeing too many geniuses, but Coach Zhou didn't take it seriously. He relied on his own cultivation to make a big splash. Even if he really had the talent, Coach Zhou would still be disappointed in his heart. I am very unhappy. After all, if my cultivation level is high but my character and character are not good enough, I will not achieve much.
The young man with the red dimples on his face took tiger strides like a rainbow, then closed his eyes slightly and suddenly opened them. A burst of light shot out, and the whole person's spiritual energy was revealed. He was in the late stage of the spirit transformation realm!
After the spiritual power fluctuations were released around the body, even the aura became stronger. The cultivation in the late stage of the spirit transformation realm made the whole person different. Under the eyes of everyone holding their breath, he stepped onto this place that was full of revelations. Stairs of weirdness and mystery.
Xuantian Sword Sect’s requirements for accepting disciples are those with cultivation levels below the Foundation Establishment level. This rule is also found in most sects’ holy places. However, other sects are not so strict, especially Yuehua Academy, which recruits many disciples. Even those with advanced cultivation levels The monks also accepted it.
As for these conditions and the situation of several holy land sects, the children of the big aristocratic families have long known about it. Therefore, after being cultivated by the family and instilled with the panacea, their cultivation has reached the late stage of the spirit transformation realm early. After choosing to become a disciple, until After completing his studies, he returned to his family and worked hard for the family.
So this is why children from aristocratic families such as Bai Zimo and Liu Yinger and Wang Wanwan are not surprised by these things.
With everyone's expectant eyes, the boy with the dimples on his face finally lived up to expectations and took a step forward. He looked very relaxed. After walking a few steps and climbing several stairs, the boy with the dimples finally put down his hanging steps. Xin, I thought to myself, there is nothing special about this. It looks mysterious but only pretends to be a ghost. The nine hundred and ninety-nineth floor. In a short time, I will be able to set foot on it with my cultivation in the late stage of the spirit transformation realm, and I will be the first one. !
Speeding up the movement of spiritual power, getting ready to rush to the top of the mountain with flying strides.
"hiss…"
After taking a few more steps, I took a breath of air, my eyes were stunned, and my face was full of shock. I finally realized that something was wrong, and my steps slowed down. I felt as if my legs were filled with lead. It was too heavy to lift, and it was so difficult without even taking a single step. At this time, I was the only young man to climb the 113th step.
The people on the mountainside didn't notice anything wrong. They just saw that the dimpled boy was walking fast at first, then his steps became heavier and heavier, and finally he was sweating profusely and gritting his teeth to persist.
Seeing the dimpled boy struggling so hard, everyone was shocked because they didn't find anything strange. What was going on? Only Zhao Jiuge's eyes flashed a few times and he pondered for a while, as if he had discovered something but didn't. Sure.
After pondering, he said nothing and just walked through the crowd watching the excitement, ready to try the wonders of this staircase.
His face was as calm as water.
Zhao Jiuge didn't panic at all. He felt that his whole person was ordinary and he stepped forward without using his spiritual power.
This time Zhao Jiuge no longer chooses to keep a low profile, because the better he performs, the more resources he will get from the sect, the greater the chance of entering the inner sect, and the more he will attract the attention of those peerless experts.
Seeing another person coming up, there was quite a commotion among the crowd, and everyone was talking about it.
"Come on Zhao Jiuge." Seeing Zhao Jiuge actually going up, Wang Wanwan shouted excitedly and waved his arms.
Liu Ying'er, on the other hand, blushed a little, and her voice was much lower, like a lady shouting for Zhao Jiuge, while Luo Xie still had a dull expression, as if he had not yet recovered from the fear of falling from the mountain. walk out.
In the first few steps, Zhao Jiuge walked on thin ice, stepping on his feet carefully, breathing calmly, and climbing up the stairs with the same frequency of his feet. After more than fifty steps, Zhao Jiuge, who was not running his spiritual energy, finally felt a little struggling, but still He resisted and did not release his spiritual power because he wanted to confirm whether his discovery just now was correct.
Not far ahead, the dimpled boy quickly circulated his spiritual energy after the hard work and continued to move forward. However, each step consumed a lot of spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy was flowing away like a flood.
"snort"
At this moment, a cold snort came from Bai Zimo's mouth. He liked to be in the limelight and originally chose to be the first one, but before he even started, he was interrupted by the unconvinced dimple boy. , allowing him to stand out one step ahead of him and step forward, but just when he recovered, he was overtaken by Zhao Jiuge again.
This made Bai Zimo very upset, but he was so proud that he did not think that the one who left first would have the last laugh. In his eyes, the disciples in this batch of trials were not as good as himself. Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people who had just gone up, Bai Zimo Stepping out with a cold snort, he wanted others to know that he was the only one who could laugh last and laugh best.
The back of the dimpled boy was getting closer and closer, but Zhao Jiuge was breathing heavily, his breathing rhythm was disrupted, and his steps became less and less steady, becoming more frivolous.
But Zhao Jiuge still gritted his teeth and persisted, with an unyielding look in his eyes and sweat on his forehead.
Finally, when he felt strenuous and couldn't bear it anymore, Zhao Jiuge exploded.
