Imperial capital.

The top of the chess mountain.

A three-meter-tall chessboard stalks across the mountaintop.

There was a man sitting on the edge of the chessboard.

Dressed in a black robe, holding a white child in his hand.

"Where is the kid?"

A voice came from nowhere, and it just appeared out of thin air.

The man sitting on the edge of the chessboard shook his head with a smile: "According to the report from the spies, he has arrived in Ascending Heaven City, and I heard that there are two other emperors with him. ”

"Oh, who are they?"

"The Crazy Knife Gate, the descendant of the Demon Slayer Knife, is unparalleled. ”

"Nine-tailed Totoro, the first day, the son is white. ”

"Moreover, there is also a maid beside him, called Xiao Jiu, who awakens the thunder attribute palace spirit, and it is not clear what level it is, but it is already a martial artist of the upper spirit rank. ”

"Tianluo Renzi No. 4 Rain Kill was defeated by her. ”

As soon as the words fell, the white child in the black-robed man's hand suddenly flew out.

Firmly in the center of the board.

"It's your turn!"

At this moment, a sunspot suddenly appeared in the sky.

With a bang, there was an extra hole on the chessboard.

"After 16 years of waiting, it's finally time to start. ”

Ascend to the sky!

The sun has not yet risen, and the Ascending Plaza is already crowded with people. Crowded!

Almost all the warriors near the square came to participate in this grand event.

Mu Liansheng and Gongzi Youbai and others were also in the square.

All the people stood on the huge square, quietly waiting.

Regarding the road to heaven, Mu Liansheng only listened to Yi Xuanyu's brief introduction, except for knowing that cultivating on it could increase the cultivation speed of a martial artist, he didn't know anything else.

He didn't even know what the path to heaven was.

"It's been so long, why hasn't the road to heaven been opened yet?"

Some warriors in the crowd waited anxiously and said suspiciously.

"Brother, don't worry, the road to heaven is only opened once every ten years, in order to improve your cultivation as soon as possible, and in order to obtain the qualification to enter the Heavenly Palace Imperial Courtyard, bear with me!"

Some people smiled faintly, and their faces were extremely excited.

Who doesn't thirst for a cultivation speed of one hour to two months?

More importantly, if you can be matched by the officials sent by the imperial court, you can obtain the admission qualification to enter the Tiangong Imperial Academy, the highest school in Nandi.

Who wouldn't want such an honor?

"I heard that there are twelve ladders on the road to heaven, and only those who step into the twelfth ladder can be regarded as entering the real world of ascending to heaven. But since the opening of the path to heaven, no one has been able to enter the twelfth layer, and I really want to see what the twelfth layer ladder is like. ”

Some warriors said with blazing eyes.

"Twelve tiers of ladders, what's that?"

Mu Liansheng frowned, and the curiosity in her heart was even worse.

"Young master, it seems that the road to heaven is amazing!"

Xiao Jiu said beside Mu Liansheng.

Mu Liansheng glanced at Xiao Jiu and said slowly: "Xiao Jiu, your martial arts realm has been stuck in the upper spiritual position for more than a year, and after going up the ladder this time, you are trying to break through to the early heavenly position, you know?"

Mu Liansheng scraped the tip of Xiao Jiu's nose.

"yes, got it!"

"Pay attention to your own safety, the road to heaven, I won't go. ”

"You're not going?"

Mo Shang Wushuang and Gongzi Youbai and others looked at each other with their eyes. He looked very puzzled.

On the road to the sky, you can increase the cultivation speed of martial artists, this is something that many martial artists dream of, Mu Liansheng actually said that he would not go.

Although he has the status of an emperor, he can directly participate in the entrance test of the Heavenly Palace Imperial Court with the status of an emperor.

But didn't he want to improve his martial arts realm?

"Sheng, why don't you participate? Doesn't it appeal to you at all?"

Gongzi Youbai looked at Mu Liansheng with a puzzled expression and said with a light smile.

"Haven't you noticed that I haven't awakened the palace spirit yet?"

Mu Liansheng said with a smile, but there was a trace of bitterness hidden in the corners of his mouth.

"This .

Except for Xiao Jiu, everyone was like hearing a thunder bomb.

At the age of sixteen, he hasn't awakened the palace spirit, is there any hope for this martial art?

As soon as a martial artist reaches the age of eighteen, the palace spirit mark will automatically disappear, and he will not be able to practice martial arts at that time.

Not being able to cultivate martial arts is such a painful thing for a martial artist.

"Young master!"

Xiao Jiu looked at Mu Liansheng, and his comforting eyes were like a warm sun shooting into Mu Liansheng's heart.

Xiao Jiu knew that Mu Liansheng insisted on coming to participate in the Ascending Event, but in fact, it was all for Xiao Jiu.

Otherwise, he would not have come.

"It's okay, it's nice for me to come and see you!"

A warm smile spread across his face, and he didn't seem to care at all.

"Don't worry, I believe in you, you will definitely be able to awaken your palace spirit!"

Gongzi Youbai patted Mu Liansheng on the shoulder and encouraged.

"Well, we believe in you!"

Everyone said in unison.

They are by no means casual talk, because Mu Liansheng has an irresistible aura.

That kind of aura makes people sincerely surrender and trust him.

It's like something you were born with!

"Hmm!"

Mu Liansheng nodded slightly, suddenly as if she sensed something, her face was slightly condensed, and her eyes looked at the center of the square.

Bang!

At this moment, a loud roar suddenly came from the ground in the center of the square.

Immediately, the ground cracked neatly, as if it had been cut apart by an invisible giant sword.

The cracks are very neat.

"The road to heaven is about to begin!"

When the crowd saw this scene, their eyes trembled violently, and they exclaimed in unison.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the center of the square.

Rumble!

Immediately, the huge crack on the square was actually surging with boundless power, which instantly condensed into a huge sealing power, releasing rays of light and surging in the space.

Almost instantly, the endless light spread like ripples, extending in all directions, instantly enveloping the space within hundreds of thousands of meters.

Suddenly, the crowd was shrouded in brilliance, and they felt a mysterious power flowing around their bodies, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

"What a magical power!"

Mu Liansheng's heart trembled, and he felt a strange fluctuation in the space, and a gentle force like an invisible hand kept caressing his body, making the pores of his whole body open, absorbing the power in this space to the fullest.

Everyone else felt the same way, and everyone's face was rippling with joy, obviously very happy.

"Look, the road to heaven has appeared!"

At that moment, someone in the crowd exclaimed, pointing to the center of the square and shouting.

In the center of the square, a towering platform appeared, which was condensed by colorful light, releasing mysterious and ancient power.

"Is this the way to heaven?"

The crowd was stunned by the scene in front of them, looked stunned, and said stupidly.

And under the gaze of everyone, the towering platform seemed to be alive, quickly climbing towards the sky, and at the same time, the light on the platform became more dazzling, and the surrounding space of hundreds of thousands of meters was all filled with colorful brilliance.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the platform had risen to a height of hundreds of thousands of meters, like a giant tree standing between heaven and earth, sent into the clouds, and there was no end in sight.

"This, is this the way to heaven?"

The crowd's eyes were completely demented, shocked by the scene in front of them, and their expressions were fascinated.

No one thought that this road to heaven would be so shocking and beautiful.

Bang!

But at this moment, the Dao platform of the Ascending Road suddenly roared, and it seemed that it had risen to the end.

Rumble!

A majestic and boundless power appeared, released from the platform of the Ascending Path, and spread in all directions.
