0206 Ladder of Inquiry
Ladder of Conscience!
This is a unique way of testing, the first line that each faction likes most in accepting apprentices is qualifications, after all, without qualifications, cultivation will become an empty talk, and this qualification is a stepping stone.
However, once you enter the door, the first thing is the heart and perseverance, there is no shortcut on the path of cultivation, and those who are lonely cannot bear to collapse in the middle of the road.
However, although this mental perseverance is extremely important, there is no standard for measuring it, and it cannot be seen overnight, so all capable sects will create some illusions in response to this situation to test their disciples' Dao hearts.
In this world, there are several places of test that are more famous, such as: the reincarnation realm, the long corridor of self-sacrifice, the Lost Immortal Mountain, the Hundred Ghost Caves, and this ladder of inquiry!
Qing'er's voice sounded in Qin Chong's heart:
"Sword Monarch is going to break through that Ladder of Questioning?"
"Of course, as this examiner understands Seeing Long Zaitian, do you think I have any other choice?"
"Okay, okay, people are also very curious about what's inside?"
Xu has been bored for a long time, and this sword spirit is now more and more interested in the more strange things:
"But Sword Monarch, you still have to be careful!"
"Caution is necessary, caution is not necessary, if the students who come out of the Holy Academy can't even pass the Nether Realm Ladder of Inquiry, then not only me, but even the master will die of shame!"
"Otherwise, most of the Dao systems in this realm are inherited from the ancients, and the trial disciples of those great sects in the ancients all have their outstanding points, and the Sword Monarch must not be arrogant!"
"Oh, it's worth taking a closer look. ”
"I have observed that the inheritance of this Xuantian Sword Sect is at least related to the three Dao Sects that disappeared in ancient times, and these three Dao Sects were also famous Great Sects back then, and their path of testing their disciples must be extraordinary. That's why I have to be careful with Sword Monarch!"
The entrance of the Ladder of Inquiry is less than two hundred meters behind everyone, and the entrance is covered with moss, even the words "Ladder of Inquiry" are mostly covered by weeds, and there have been traces of no one entering or exiting for a long time.
The ladder of conscience can't help people enter, however, there is a warning on the door: the road is unpredictable, life and death are conceited!
The Heavenly Ladder of Asking Hearts is divided into nine sections, each with one hundred and eight steps, a total of nine hundred and seventy-two steps, and those who can walk through the first section are eligible to become inner disciples, and every third section after that is the first level.
Those who pass the third stage are true disciples, those who pass the sixth stage are personal disciples, and enjoy the treatment of foundation building disciples, and those who pass the ninth stage are secret disciples, and their status is comparable to that of Jindan monks!
In the last 100 years, 218 people have entered, but only 43 have come out alive, and of these 43 have made it through the sixth stage—none of them! Moreover, of these 43 people, only 16 are in good health and sanity.
Looking at these two lines of heavy warning fonts, Qin Chong's brows furrowed slightly, and then he regained his composure and strode into it.
Behind him, there were a group of stunned prospective disciples, as well as an examiner who sneered:
There is never a shortage of dreams of ascending to the sky in one step, but there is no one who dreams come true, at least he has never seen it, this kid has no ability, his temper is not small, and he will seek death if he does not agree with him, then it can only be up to him!
However, since someone broke into this ladder of inquiry, according to the rules, he still had to report it.
This news was reported, although it caused a burst of surprise, but it did not attract much attention from the top, this kind of thing, which year is rare, there are always some people, do not meet in the face of reality and will not stop.
However, there are a lot of low-level disciples who have heard the news, and it is human nature to watch the excitement strongly, not to mention that life in the mountains is very boring, and it has been more than a year since the last time someone broke through this ladder of inquiry.
The high-level Xuantian leaders are discussing major matters at the moment, so they have time to pay attention to such small matters.
In the main hall, more than 400 Jindan monks sit on the left and right.
On the high platform in the center, it is the head of Zhongxing Xuantian who sits silently, Hongyi Faxiang Zhenren, and the other four Faxiang Zhenren are based on the high platform on both sides of the Zhangjiao.
The next person bowed down and fell to the ground, and his voice was fierce:
"I got the news from the Tianji Palace, three hours ago, the Futu Palace poured out of the nest, and the whereabouts are still unknown, and after two hours, the connection between the branch hall of the main sect and the mountain in Pingbo City was all severed, and half an hour ago, the natal lamp of the head of the branch hall, Brother Jindan, was extinguished, and it has been confirmed that the people of the branch hall have been shamelessly attacked and have been killed in battle. ”
The seven veins of Xuantian are divided into Tianshu Peak, Tianxuan Peak, Yaoguang Peak, Tianji Peak, Tianquan Peak, Yuheng Peak, and Kaiyang Peak, which should be the true name of the Big Dipper.
Among them, the heavenly power is the main peak of Xuantian, including the six halls of Tiandan, Tianqi, Tianji, Tianxing, Tianxing, and Tianyan
Before the words fell, in the main hall, more than ten people stood up, all of them were the Jindan elders of the Tianquan Peak, their expressions were furious, their faces were full of anger, and they almost didn't think about it, so they shouted loudly:
"Go to war, go to war!"
"Coach, we are the strikers!"
"Blood debt and blood repayment, slaughter the Futu Palace!"
Hongyi Zhenren was surprised, and asked with some suspicion: "Couldn't it be that all the people in the main hall of this sect in Pingbo City were slaughtered? Among them, there are also twelve foundation builders, one hundred and three four Qi cultivation disciples, and none of them survived?"
"The matter is being verified, the nearest inspector has rushed to the place of the accident, the disciple is only afraid that the Futu Palace has set up a trap in Pingbo City, and will surround it to send reinforcements!"
"Pingbo City is located in the key point, it is the port that the mainland must pass through to enter the Giant Whale Island, how tightly guarded it is at ordinary times, it is necessary to report safety once a day according to the regulations, usually the disciples are stationed in seven places, and there is no one who can pass the news out, this thing itself is weird, you can't just make a judgment based on some speculation, you must understand the truth of the matter to decide!"
"Sect the real person, isn't the senior brother of the branch hall dying in vain!"
"Confused, I just said that I would find out the truth of the matter before acting, why did I say that I would not take revenge?
Hongyi's real voice turned strong:
"My Xuantian Sword has not been used for a hundred years, and it is a small peep with many nights, and today I will use this matter to reproduce the power of the blood sacrifice in the past, and deter the jumping beam!"
"Blood sacrifice, senior brother, isn't this a bit serious?"
"Serious? The matter has come out, and it is not possible to find out the truth overnight, my Xuantian Sword Sect has just released the rumor of recruiting disciples, and there are actually people who commit crimes against the wind, obviously trying to muddy the water, therefore, blood sacrifice is the best way, and all those who have the ability to commit crimes within three hundred miles of Fang Yuan will be killed!"
As if he was afraid that things would not be done neatly enough, Hongyi Zhenren also specially explained to his proud disciple, and Ning Jie, who had only recently stabilized the Faxiang, said: "You personally led the people of the Heavenly Punishment Hall to execute!"
This Hongyi real person does things without sending them, and if they do it, they will be like thunder, and they will not give people a chance to breathe!
Sitting on the left hand of Hongyi Zhenren, Hongfa Zhenren said: "Why don't you take Tianji Hall to investigate in Pingbo City, senior brother, do you think it?"
Hongyi Zhenren said: "This is very good, with Ning Jie as the light, the junior and the younger brother as the dark, take care of each other, be careful in everything, I suspect that this matter is not only the Futu Palace, the people in the Central Plains and the west are a little impatient!"
"Senior brother can save it, senior brother don't worry!"
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the main hall, Hongyi Zhenren raised his eyes, the disciples on duty hurried out of the main hall, and after a little inquiry, they understood what had happened, and couldn't help but hurriedly run back to the main hall, and reported:
"Master Sect Leader, there is a new disciple who is breaking through the Heart Ladder, and he has passed the second stage and is heading towards the third stage!"
"Oh, no one has been able to pass the fifth paragraph in the past hundred years, maybe someone can pass it today, how long did it take this person to pass the first two paragraphs?"
Although no one has been able to pass every five stages in the past hundred years, if you relax the time a little bit, and go back hundreds of years, there are many people sitting here who can pass the five stages, Hongyi Zhenren, Hongzhen Zhenren are among them.
It's just that Hongyi passed relatively quickly, and the time he passed the fifth to sixth stages was four hours, and Hongzhen was five hours, so Hongyi had this question. As a head teacher, he has more knowledge in this area than others, and according to statistics, those who have passed the sixth stage of the past dynasties, as long as they do not fall due to foreign affairs, then the achievement of the Fa is almost an ironclad thing.
The messenger on duty hesitated for a moment, and then stubbornly said:
"One, one cup of tea!"
This sentence made everyone in the hall stunned.
Qi Qi looked at the messenger on duty in surprise, and the messenger on duty smiled bitterly:
"Elders don't have to look at me like this, I don't believe it, but everyone says it like this, and I can only pass it back like this......"
At this moment, another cheer came,
The people in the hall could only hear everyone shouting outside, "The third level has passed, the fourth level, the fourth level!"
How can it be so fast? No wonder everyone thinks so, every three levels of this ladder of inquiry is a big hurdle, and there are also people here who have passed the three levels and know the difficulty.
The disciples on duty had not yet finished their reports, and everyone in the hall also looked at each other when they heard the words. Or don't believe, or don't understand, or laugh, or be stunned, and so on!
Unexpectedly, everyone had not yet come back to their senses, and there was only a few breaths before and after, and the crowd shouted again: "The fourth level has passed, the fifth level, the fifth level!"
The sound reverberated throughout the mountain, even in the main hall.
"Impossible!"
"Just kidding!"
"Nonsense!"
"Someone must be playing a prank!"
Having said that, many people are already turning their necks outward and fidgeting.
Hongyi was also stunned for a while, and then smiled and said, "Yes or no, everyone will follow me outside to see!"
Everyone was waiting for this sentence, and they all replied:
"Very good!"
A group of great monks left the Xuantian main hall. Floating in the air stands on the top of this cloud.
Although the Ladder of Inquiry is not far from here, it is not close, and the mountains are heavy, so everyone can only see it vaguely.
The five great real people have profound mana, and they will be cast by Hongzhen at the moment, and with just a flick of their sleeves, they will bring the scene at the ladder of inquiry closer, and clearly show it in front of everyone:
A young man in a green shirt with a childish face was walking briskly up the stone steps, walking briskly between steps, without the slightest delay!
"Who is this?"
"Qin Chong, a native of Luocheng Mountain, recommended by the outer disciple Situ Jingang for the entrance assessment, the spiritual root is the thunder spiritual root, there is no understanding, and the rest is unknown!"
Someone has already read out the origin of this son one by one.
At that time, there was a real person Hongyuan, who scolded angrily:
"Bastard, who is in charge of the assessment today, and such talents are actually judged to have no understanding?"
Another Dharma Minister, Hongzhe, said with an embarrassed face:
"Senior brother, it is you who is presiding over the assessment this time, don't you remember?"
This answer made Hongyuan stunned for a long time, and then said:
"Who am I asking who is presiding over this Qin Chong's presence?"
Hongzhen smiled:
"Then with so many things, I will directly pass the volume of this son, and I will know it when I wait for the judgment, you must know that there are some geniuses who answer the question high and low!"
Someone below answered the call, and after a while, Qin Chong's answer appeared in front of everyone.
The five big real people don't look at it, and it's inexplicable to see it, this answer is decent, and there is nothing wrong with it, not to mention that it is also written above, this son handed in the first volume, and it only took less than half a moment, why did he judge that he had no understanding?
Hongyuan was already roaring: "It was that bastard who judged it, what is the standard answer?"
One of the disciples below was already trembling all over his body at this moment, and replied in a snort: "It's Senior Brother Sanyuan, and his standard answer is 'Seeing the dragon in the field, seeing Lord Li' The sentence is 'He saw Lord Long inspecting the spiritual field, it is the best time for everyone to come forward to visit!'"
Everyone who was originally angry was all overwhelmed, and this Jindan monk named He Jianlong was also on this side, and everyone laughed even more refreshingly!
