Dahuang Palace, Yanwu Square.
Under the gaze of the young man in purple, the tall and strong young man did not dare to say another word, turned around and left silently. The other boys and girls who were eliminated all left with frustrated faces.
Most of the thirty thousand people were eliminated in an instant, but this was just the beginning.
The voice of the young man in purple sounded again, full of coldness, "Don't think that the rest can become the outer disciples of my Great Desolate Palace. There are three entrance trials. Only those who pass the three stages are qualified to become disciples of this palace. Now , everyone listen to my orders and follow me.”
Led by the young man in purple, many boys and girls marched towards the wilderness mountains. Yan Li's eyes swept over the crowd from time to time, trying to find Lin Jingyun and Long Ziyue.
However, he was disappointed. Although nearly 20,000 people were eliminated from the 30,000 people, there were still 10,000 people left. It was really difficult to find two people among the 10,000 people.
A quarter of an hour later, under the leadership of the young man in purple, the teenagers came to a wide open space. There was a vast ladder suspended in the open space that seemed to reach straight into the sky.
There are 999 steps in the ladder, and the gravity on each step is different.
Many young people looked at this ladder suspended on the ground, full of curiosity. The entire ladder was glowing with jade color, exuding a sacred flavor.
It is said that this ladder is the legacy of the first generation founder of Dahuang Palace. It is specially used to assess the cultivation of disciples. The higher the cultivation level, the higher the ladder can be climbed. As for the 999th step, it is said that only those who reach Only the emperor can ascend.
The voice of the young man in purple sounded again, "Listen carefully, those who cannot reach the ninth level will be eliminated. Those who exceed the ninth level will be considered as cleared and continue to participate in the third level assessment. Let's start now!"
As soon as the young man in purple finished speaking, a young man eagerly jumped onto the ladder. Suddenly, his expression changed, his body swayed, and he almost fell off the ladder.
However, the opponent made a slight adjustment, stabilized his figure, and stepped towards the second step. Soon the opponent climbed to the fourth step, but when he stepped onto the fifth step, he still looked a little immature. His cheeks became extremely solemn, and his body trembled violently, as if he would fall down at any time.
"Continue, Master!" the young man in purple urged.
Several more boys and girls jumped onto the ladder. Having learned from the past, they were all extra careful.
More and more boys and girls jumped onto the ladder, and the boy who was the first to leap onto the ladder had already stepped onto the sixth step. However, his movements became extremely slow, as if a huge mountain was pressing on him.
Time passed slowly.
Hundreds of people have boarded the ladder and climbed up with difficulty.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the crowd, but it was a young man in white. After jumping onto the ladder, he stepped quickly and climbed to the fifth step in a very short time.
After stopping for a moment on the fifth step, the opponent climbed to the ninth step in one go, succeeding one step ahead of the first boy who jumped onto the ladder. However, the opponent stopped for a moment on the ninth step and then continued climbing until he reached the The climb didn't stop until the eighteenth step.
Among the crowd, Yan Li, who had always maintained a cold and calm look, suddenly showed a hint of excitement in his eyes, staring blankly at the young man standing on the eighteenth step of the ladder.
After a while, his expression returned to calm, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. "This guy is still so pushy, he really hasn't changed at all."
Yes, this white-clothed man is none other than Lin Jingyun, Yan Li's good brother in his previous life, the future Jingyun Sword God. After he became famous and was respected and worshiped by the world, who would have known that this guy was both a **** when he was young? , and evil-minded.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came, and Yan Li couldn't help but look, but it was the young man who jumped onto the ladder for the first time. When he was about to step on the ninth step, his body was shaken, and then he rolled down the ladder.
"Whoosh!"
There was a flash of light, and a burst of jade light enveloped his body. The next moment, he appeared under the ladder. The rule of the ladder is to advance without retreating. Once he retreats, he will be automatically transported down the ladder.
The young man who was teleported out of the ladder had a look of annoyance and regret on his face. He was just a step away from entering the ninth level and passing the second level. Unfortunately... there is no regret medicine in the world.
"You eliminate him, someone comes and sends him down the mountain!"
The young man in purple glanced at the other party, and then an outer disciple who was standing by came out and took the other party away.
"Swish swish!"
Several more rays of light flashed, but another person was teleported out of the ladder and eliminated.
"You guys go up!"
The young man in purple said coldly with his fingers across Yan Li and the teenagers around him.
"yes!"
Yan Li took his time and walked to the ladder to heaven. In his previous life, he was a disciple of the Great Desolate Palace and had climbed the ladder to heaven many times. The highest level he reached was more than 200 steps.
At this time, Lin Jingyun had climbed to the twentieth step. He hesitated for a moment, then turned around. The next moment, he was wrapped in jade light and teleported down the ladder.
"You come over here." The young man in purple said to Lin Jingyun in a slightly gentle tone.
Lin Jingyun nodded proudly, walked to the other side, and glanced at the snail-like boys and girls on the ladder, with a hint of disdain emerging from the corner of his mouth.
Yan Li tapped his toes and easily jumped onto the ladder about a foot above the ground. Suddenly, he felt a much stronger gravity than usual pressing down from all directions.
He adjusted slightly, then took steps towards the second step. In just a few breaths, he had successfully climbed to the ninth step, arriving ahead of many young girls who had climbed the ladder before him.
The originally cold-faced young man in purple couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes when he saw Yan Li ascending the ninth level so easily. Lin Jingyun, who was the first to pass the second level, also put away the disdainful smile on his lips. He looked at Yan Li's figure with a serious expression.
Yan Li stayed on the ninth step for a while, then took another step and climbed to the tenth step.
Level ten!
Level 11!
Level 12!
… …
In just a few dozen breaths, Yan Li actually climbed to the eighteenth step. The young man in purple was even more surprised. After thinking for a moment, he understood why Yan Li could climb to the eighteenth step so quickly.
Because when he was climbing the ladder, he was not walking in a straight line, but in a curve. At the same time, his body was also doing some irregular shaking, so as to achieve the purpose of resolving the gravity on the ladder.
"This young man seems to know a lot about the ladder. How can he actually master the technique of climbing the ladder?" Thinking of this, the young man in purple couldn't help but feel a little more curious about Yan Li.
However, what surprised him was that Yan Li stopped climbing after climbing the eighteenth step. He turned around without hesitation and was teleported down. In his opinion, with Yan Li's performance, he was fully capable of continuing to climb.
"You come over here too." The young man in purple also spoke gentler to Yan Li.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Yan Li smiled and nodded at the other party, then walked to Lin Jingyun.
"Yan Li, what do you call me?" Yan Li took the initiative to show his kindness to Lin Jingyun. In fact, given his low-key character, he just wanted to meet the assessment requirements and stop climbing. However, after meeting Lin Jingyun, he changed The idea was to deliberately reach level 18 just to attract Lin Jingyun's attention.
"Lin Jingyun, you can obviously reach a higher level, why don't you continue?" Lin Jingyun said slightly dissatisfied.
When Yan Li saw this, he couldn't help but secretly laugh. Suddenly, this guy was aloof and arrogant. He must have thought that I was deliberately provoking him. So, he shook his head, "Although you see that I easily climbed to the eighteenth level, in fact, I have tried my best and am powerless." Climb up to the nineteenth level again.”
"Hmph! You lied!" Lin Jingyun sneered.
Yan Li was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly. This guy was still so competitive and wanted to be first in every aspect. However, he then thought that it was precisely because of his competitive heart that he could become the leader of Tianhuang Continent. The famous Jingyun Sword God
"You really misunderstood!"
"Sooner or later I will surpass you!" Lin Jingyun said coolly to Yan Li, then turned his head to the side and ignored him. For a moment, Yan Li sighed. He did not expect that after rebirth, he would be the same as in his previous life. My good brother had an unpleasant incident.
More and more boys and girls are being sent down the ladder. Now is not the time to sort out the relationship between him and Lin Jingyun. Anyway, everyone will be disciples of the Great Desolate Palace from now on, so they have plenty of time.
His eyes scanned the crowd from time to time, trying to find Long Ziyue.
However, what surprised him was that half of the teenagers had already climbed up the ladder, but they still didn't find Long Ziyue. For a moment, he felt inexplicably anxious in his heart, "It's not my rebirth that caused the butterfly effect. Ziyue won't Come to the Great Desolate Palace?"
In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting over the west mountain, and there were only one or two hundred people left who had not jumped up the ladder. However, Yan Li searched the hundred people with his eyes, but did not find Long Ziyue's figure.
"Ziyue, where are you?" For a moment, Yan Li became dejected.
"Now I announce that a total of 8,324 people have passed the second level of assessment!"
It wasn't until the sonorous voice of the young man in purple rang out that Yan Li came back to his senses. He secretly made up his mind, "No matter whether Ziyue has entered the Great Desolate Palace or not, he will find her!"
Waves of cheers came from the mouths of the boys and girls passing by. This time, the young man in purple did not stop him. After a while, after the cheers died down, he said loudly, "Tonight, you guys will rest in the mountain for one night. Tomorrow Continue to take the third level assessment!”
After saying that, the young man in purple clothes left in a hurry. Then, hundreds of outer disciples in green clothes appeared and took everyone to live in a group of courtyards.
That night, Yan Li stayed awake all night, his eyes were distracted, and all that came to mind was Long Ziyue's figure.
The sun is rising.
The night passed, and several teenagers were heard talking from the surrounding area, "What do you think the third test will be?"
"Who knows! Every year in the entrance examination, except for the second level of climbing the ladder which is fixed, the first level and the third level are different!"
… …
Yan Lihuan's distracted eyes gradually gathered together, full of determination. He exhaled a breath of turbid air towards the sky, shook his head, and roared in his heart, "Ziyue, wait for me. When I succeed in cultivation, even if I have traveled all over the world, The entire Tianhuang Continent will also find you!”
