Chapter 38: The Ladder to Heaven (1)
"Mountaineering!"
Although Lu Yu was wondering if he had heard it wrong, he would not be stupid enough to think that the words that came out of the teacher's mouth, but he still couldn't help but confirm it: "It won't be so simple!" ”
"It's smart, of course it's not that simple!"
Jiao Xi said jokingly: "When you climb the first step, you will understand that although this is a test, it is also an opportunity for your candidates, cherish it!" ”
Lu Yu was confused, and wanted to ask a few more words, but the teacher was already impatiently waving his hand and said, "Don't hurry up, next one!" ”
I have also learned some about the scientific expedition before, and I have heard a lot of introductions from Xu Xia, but I have never heard of the scientific expedition and mountaineering, of course, Lu Yu will not think that the scientific expedition of the Great Sage Dynasty is entertaining the candidates, thinking that there were rumors before, the content of the scientific expedition has changed, will it be the addition of mountaineering test?
Lu Yu walked forward, and soon heard someone in front of him talking about this matter.
"You don't know? Are you still not a member of the Great Holy Dynasty? ”
"Why should I know that there was no mountaineering test in the previous scientific expedition, and this should be a new assessment item?"
Lu Yu followed behind a group of candidates and pricked up his ears to listen.
"At the beginning, it was rumored that this scientific expedition was in an independent space, and some people speculated whether it was the cultivation space of the Rite Tribute Academy, but now it seems that this should be the cultivation space of the Rite Tribute Academy."
"We just want to know about mountaineering, what do you say the cultivation space of the Ministry of Rites Tribute Academy is for?"
Seeing that the surrounding candidates were all around, one of the candidates said slowly: "Of course it makes sense, you must know that the most famous thing in the cultivation space of the Ministry of Rites Tribute Academy is not the aura inside, nor the cultivation resources inside, but the fact that there is a ladder to climb the sky built in imitation of the ancient ladder to ascend to the sky." ”
"It turned out to be the Ancient Ladder to the Heavens, I have heard of this, it is said that when the Ancient Great Power took the last step of the Dao, he wanted to listen to the laws of the Heavenly Dao, and built a mountain closest to the Heavenly Dao, and climbed the mountain from the foot of the mountain, which is called the Ladder of Ascending the Heavens."
"Not bad!"
The candidate shook his head and said: "It's a pity that the ancient ladder to ascend to heaven has long disappeared, and I don't know if it was destroyed by someone, and only a trace of information can be found in some ancient books, of course, even if the ancient ladder to ascend to heaven is still there, it is not something that our low-level monks can peep into." ”
"So what's the use of this ladder now, and why are we climbing it?"
"That's a long story, and we have to start with the cultivation of monks......
"That's a long story short!"
"Since you don't want to hear it, I'll just talk about the matter of climbing the ladder to the sky", the candidate said with a regretful face: "Whether it is the qi and blood of qi refining and cultivation, or the body of body refining and cultivation, in fact, in the end, the real strength of the monk is the divine soul, and the divine soul is the most fragile and difficult stage of the monk's body, and when you have the opportunity to become a senior monk, you will know that the cultivation of the divine soul is not only extremely difficult, but also the exercises, pills and heavenly treasures that can cultivate the divine soul are extremely cherished, and climbing the heavenly ladder can help the monk cultivate the divine soul, Of course, the ladder here is just an imitation, and the cultivation effect is very limited, but it is a supreme treasure for our low-level cultivators, and now you should understand! ”
"And climbing the ladder is also a spiritual treasure to test the strength of the monk's soul, the higher the monk climbs, the stronger his soul is, and it also means that the farther the monk will go in the future, the higher the height that the cultivation can reach."
"According to the news spread by those students who graduated from the Tribute Academy, this Heavenly Ladder Mountain has a total of 99,999 steps, if you can only climb the ninety-nine steps, your future cultivation will probably stop in the Qi Refining Realm, if you can climb five hundred steps, your future cultivation will be around the Spirit Vein Realm, if you can climb a thousand steps, the Yuan Spirit Realm will be possible, if you can reach more than three thousand steps, you will have the opportunity to become an intermediate cultivator ......."
"What if you climb four or five thousand steps?" Seeing that the candidate didn't continue to speak, the candidate on the side hurriedly asked.
"More than 3,000 steps...... hehe!"
The candidate who spoke before sneered: "I said before that this Heavenly Ladder Mountain is just an imitation, and there are very few Heavenly Dao laws contained in it, and the detection of the Divine Soul can only reach the level of a senior monk, if you can really reach the top, it can only mean that your Divine Soul is very powerful, and it is difficult to say how powerful it is, so this Heavenly Ladder Mountain is only suitable for the test of junior monks." ”
"But I can tell you responsibly, don't think about reaching the top, because after the refining of this Tiantai Mountain is completed, no monk has ever climbed to the top, and those students who graduated from the Gongyuan have a recorded height, which is more than 4,000 steps, if nothing else, all the candidates in this scientific examination can climb to more than 3,000 levels."
"Isn't there anyone who has climbed the 10,000 steps?" Some candidates couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, what I just said is only the situation of Qi Refining Realm cultivators, as for other cases, how many steps other monks can climb, the Ministry of Rites and the Tribute Academy usually don't announce it, and they will keep it secret for the monks."
The monk walked at such a fast pace that the distance of ten miles was already in sight in less than a quarter of an hour.
"Look, that's Tiantai Mountain!"
Hearing this, Lu Yu also looked up and looked forward, and not far away, a towering mountain peak stood in front of him.
The whole mountain does not look like it is naturally formed, the shape of the mountain is piled up layer by layer, because of the perspective, from Lu Yu's angle, the shape of Tiantai Mountain is like a pagoda candy, and the whole shows a blue-black, giving people a sense of steady and majestic impact.
"It's kind of interesting!"
When Lu Yu stood at the foot of Tiantai Mountain and looked up at Tiantai Mountain, the whole person seemed to have turned into a small ant, even the mountainside of Tiantai Mountain was shrouded in a layer of dense fog.
There were countless candidates around who began to step on the steps of Tiantai Mountain, and when they lifted their feet and landed on the steps, their faces changed drastically, their bodies shook, their faces were bitter, they gritted their teeth and made angry eyes, their brows were furrowed, their eyes were wide open, and their expressions were like being extremely constipated.
"Test the spirit?"
Could it be the willpower that the main world says, or some invisible factors such as endurance and mood, which can affect a person's growth?
Watching the surrounding candidates begin to climb the Tiantai Mountain, Lu Yu also raised his feet and landed on the first step, when the foot fell, the surrounding scenery suddenly became hazy, and the surrounding candidates disappeared from Lu Yu's eyes, and in Lu Yu's sight, he could only see a step that continued to extend upward.
When something abnormal, Lu Yu's face was calm, and he didn't panic at all, this kind of magical power does not exist in the main world, but it doesn't mean that it can't be done in the Tianlan world.
At the same time, a stream of mysterious information echoed in Lu Yu's sea of consciousness .......
"Test begins!"
At the same time as the voice sounded, Lu Yu felt that his body sank, as if a heavy object suddenly pressed on his soul, this feeling was more direct than the weight of the body directly pressed, more obvious and pure, without the slightest resistance, only felt that every cell in the whole person was pressed down by gravity.
"Is this the Divine Soul Test?"
No one answered the question in Lu Yu's heart, but there was no need for anyone to answer it, and everyone understood what this great power exerted on the divine soul was going to do.
At the same time, Lu Yu tried to operate the aura in his body, and found that the basic qi refining method did not have the slightest effect on the divine soul to mobilize the spiritual energy, and the same was true for the chaotic demon body, it seemed that the cultivation of the divine soul was not as simple as imagined.
Fortunately, this force is not big for Lu Yu, and he can adapt to it after a slight pause.
Lu Yu didn't rush to take the second step, he simply closed his eyes and felt it, and only after he was completely accustomed to this force did he raise his legs and step on the second step.
