Li Xiang set out from the Qinglong River, went eastward, non-stop, passed through a city and county, passed through a forest, climbed over a big mountain, and finally walked to a small county at the foot of the Mixed Yuan Gate Mountain on the afternoon of the twentieth day, called Mixed Yuan County.

Li wanted to walk in the middle of the small county, and his white horse needed to cross the mountains halfway, so he was released. So the fifteen-day journey, he walked for twenty days, walking on the small county road, Li Xiang looked up and saw a towering mountain in front of him.

"Behind the mountain is the Mixed Yuan Gate, I don't know if it's early?" Li Xiang muttered to himself. He was going to take a rest here first and inquire about the recruitment of outer disciples.

At this time, an old man in white who was passing by happened to hear Li Xiang's words, and said with a smile: "Young man, you are here to participate in the selection of disciples from the outer sect of the Mixed Yuan Sect."

"Yes, the old gentleman is polite." Li Xiang hugged his fists and smiled.

"Then you have to hurry, I heard that the sun is setting, and it will be over." The old man said.

"What?" Li Xiang was startled, and looked up at the sky again, the sun in the distance was less than two hours away from the horizon.

Oh no, the sun is about to set.

Li Xiang hugged his fist at the old man again, thanked him, turned around and threw off his feet and rushed towards the towering mountain.

"Today's young people, the concept of time is too poor, I don't know when I will be able to appear in the Mixed Yuan Gate, just like the one who killed the sky 100,000 years ago." The old man sighed and staggered forward step by step, and the setting sun stretched his figure.

The old man walked through the crowd and no one noticed him, and from his words, he was a member of the Mixed Yuan Sect, and he was an old monster.

……

It's a vast mountain range, enclosing a towering mountain, and standing at the foot of it, you're not even a little ant. Looking up, the sky is dusk, and the rainbow is hanging on the horizon, and in the distance, you can see the endless ancient forest.

In the forest, thousands of giant trees stand, such a height, comparable to the mountain peaks, above the forest, there are groups of spirit beasts flying by, sharp neighing echoing in the heaven and earth.

In the majestic alpine place, the mountains are flowing water, the waterfall is flowing straight down, you can see the huge crane flying, the crane chirping is endless, and the palace pavilions and buildings above are grouped, just like a fairyland.

However, such a beautiful view in front of him was blocked by a high mountain with a radius of 100 miles in front of him, and Li Xiang stopped in front of a boulder and looked at the words on it.

"Welcome to the assessment of the outer disciples of the Mixed Yuan Sect, the mountain in front of you now is the first assessment question, ascending the ladder.

This ladder is left by the ancestors of the Mixed Yuan Sect, and those who climb the ladder are qualified for the second assessment question, good luck! ”

"Why is there no one here? Did they all go up? ”

There was not a single figure around, it was a little unusual, there was not even a single bird, could it be that they all went to bed early.

"Looks like I'm really late." Li Xiang pressed the doubts in his heart and looked up at a mountain road next to the boulder, is this the ladder?

The monk really has the power of the devil's axe, and he actually opened up a mountain road on the high mountain, a ladder paved with huge stones, about a dozen zhang long and wide, and the height is not very high, so there can be one zhang. Then there is the earth under your feet, the forests on both sides, straight up, and at the end of the mountain road is the sky, the sky at dusk.

The dusk sky is so beautiful and charming!

Twilight?

Li Xiang threw off his feet again and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

"First order."

"Ten Order."

Li Xiang hadn't run a few steps, and he would mutter a few words in his mouth, and he was counting how many steps there were on this ladder.

"One hundred steps."

"Two hundred steps."

Li Xiang ran on the ladder, like a wind, blowing up the dust and leaves on the ground, and disappeared in a flash, leaving only the sound of breaking the air.

"Five hundred steps."

"A thousand steps."

Li Xiang's wind-like figure stopped here, sitting on the steps, panting breathlessly, sweat on his face, his clothes were already soaked, and he was about to drip.

Is this mountaineering? Or are you climbing a mountain? Li Xiang looked up, but he still couldn't see the ladder at the top of the mountain.

Is this specific speed? Or is it more than endurance?

And Li Xiang ran all the way, but he didn't see anyone, if he hadn't seen the boulder at the foot of the mountain, he would have suspected that this ladder to the sky was real or fake, this is to tire people to death! Fortunately, he is only using the power of his body now, and he has not used spiritual power yet, otherwise he will definitely be eliminated.

Li Xiang sat on the steps, rested for a while, and in less than a minute, he started his mountaineering career again.

The forest receded rapidly, sometimes a fawn jumping over it, and sometimes a bird could be heard singing.

"Haha! I've finally seen a living creature, or I can't stand the silence. "Li Xiang is not lonely along the way.

When Li Xiang ran to the fifth thousand steps, he began to use spiritual power, and the spiritual power added to his body, and suddenly the whole person was refreshed, his body became lighter, and his speed suddenly increased a lot.

"Six thousand steps."

"Seven thousand steps."

The spiritual power of the dantian in Li Xiang's body is getting less and less, and the less he uses it, the faster he uses it, and the speed has slowed down.

As the sun set, the figure was elongated, as if covered on the mountain road.

In the center of the towering mountain, on the top of the peak, an old man in white sat on a stone platform, with white hair draped behind him, windless and automatic, his eyes were cloudy, but from time to time there was a flash of light, and suddenly his eyes became chaotic, and different scenes appeared in it like a whirlpool, as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

The old man in white was bored to appreciate the scenery for many years, and he was already physically and mentally numb, but at this moment, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

The old man in white reflected Li Xiang's figure in his eyes, and his gaze fell on Li Xiang, who was panting and bowing his head at this time.

The old man's wrinkled face seemed to smile, as if he had discovered something interesting.

"Condensation on the first floor."

"Five thousand and one hundred steps."

The old man in white looked unfazed, and his cloudy eyes immediately saw Li Xiang's cultivation at this time, and calculated the number of steps Li Xiang had run.

The old man in white frowned, and there was confusion in his expression.

The eyes of the old man in white condensed on Li Xiang's body again, and now he saw Li Xiang's face clearly, because Li Xiang was looking up to the sky and gasping for breath at this time.

"It's him."

A low murmur came from the mouth of the old man in white, as if he was remembering, still undisturbed and without the slightest fluctuation. Then there was silence for a moment, and he actually laughed, and the wrinkles on his face were like flowers.

"Huh! Young people have a poor sense of time, which is still bad, and this is the punishment for not being punctual. ”

"Look at this ladder to the sky, how can you get there? The first layer of condensation, it seems that this ladder can only be climbed by the first layer of condensation, but it is a coincidence. The old man in white became curious.

"It seems that once 100,000 years ago, it seemed that he had walked through the heavens, and finally walked to the 9,900 steps, and then he passed out when his spiritual power was exhausted, as if this was also the highest result so far."

Li Xiang didn't know that someone was looking at him at this time, and even if he knew, he didn't have that mind, because he was climbing up step by step.

"Eight thousand eighty-one, eight thousand eighty-two, eight thousand eighty-three ......"

Li Xiang counted the number of steps while climbing up, he had already begun to climb when he was eight thousand five hundred steps, because his spiritual power had been used up at eight thousand steps, and his body had just taken a few steps, and his physical strength had decreased, until he reached eight thousand five hundred steps, and suddenly fell to the ground.

Now he was completely gritting his teeth and holding on, and he could see that his fingers had been worn out, and drops of blood were stained into blood.

"I must enter the Mixed Yuan Gate!"

He was desperate, he knew that if he couldn't reach the top of the mountain, he wouldn't be able to pass the level, and once he was eliminated, he would have no chance to join the Mixed Yuan Gate, so he would not be able to escape the fate of being hunted down by the Gu family.

"Eight thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps!"

"Eight thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps!!"

Bang!

Li Xiang had just finished counting this step, and with a bang, his body couldn't support it directly, and he fell to the ground, and the corners of his mouth bumped on the ground, all blurred.

"Nine thousand steps, but it's a difficulty, many peerless demons have fallen here." The old man in white, who has always been paying attention here, seems to be reminiscing about the past and remembering the past.

Li Xiang fell to the ground heavily, his palms were bloody and fleshy, his knees were bleeding, the blue scribe's robe on his chest had been dyed red, his head was groggy, his eyes were closed, and he didn't breathe or take a breath out of his mouth, as if he was dead.

"Looks like this young man can't do it." The old man in white sighed, as if he was regretting and regretting, like a seed of hope, which was about to take root and sprout, but unfortunately it withered in the end.

Li Xiang lay on the ground groggily, breathless.

The old man in white saw that Li Xiang never stood up, so he was ready to send him to the top of the mountain, and he was also a character to be able to walk to the nine thousand steps. His robe was gently lifted and waved down, but when he was halfway through his robe, it stopped, because he saw that Li Xiang actually moved, and he also turned over, facing the sky and his back to the ground.

Li Xiang actually survived at the moment of life and death, and now there are only three words in his head, Mixed Yuan Gate.

With this will, Li Xiang came forward, breathing with his face to the sky, and then took out the only thing he needed now from the package on his body, water.

Before setting out from the Qinglong River, he bought a lot of things, but he ran out of dry food and everything, and when he came here, he only left this bottle of water, and now the water is like life-saving water.

He opened the lid and took a sip, the cold water flowed through his throat a little painfully, and then flowed all over his body, his whole body was comfortable, as if he had strength, he didn't need any action at this time, he only had one action to climb, climb slowly, so that he could reduce the consumption of physical strength, he would drink a sip of water every time he climbed a step, as if there was power and support.

"Nine thousand and one order."

"Nine thousand and two."

"This young man's perseverance is quite strong, and it is really good to use water as a medium and perseverance as a support to turn it into a driving force to move forward." The old man in white stroked his beard and sighed, his eyes filled with appreciation.

"Nine thousand two hundred steps."

"Nine thousand three hundred steps.";
