Chapter 25: Climbing the Ladder
It was past noon, and an old man stood outside the spacious mountain gate of Feiyun Gate, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, the old man Kong Deming is the elder of the Five Elements Outer Gate, and today is the day when my Five Elements Gate recruits disciples!" β
First of all, I will introduce the basic conditions for recruiting disciples: "Those who have cultivated less than the triple cultivation body and those over twenty years old can leave directly!" β
Kong Deming stood there, looking like a weak old man, but no one who knew it dared to underestimate it, because the old man had a trace of the momentum of the Bone Transformation Realm.
Luo Tian saw that Kong Deming's eyes also shrank sharply, and secretly sighed that the strength of the Five Elements Gate, only one of the elders of the outer gate was in the Bone Transformation Realm, which was not only a little stronger than the Feiyun Gate that he had stayed in before.
Everyone listened to Kong Deming's words, and only a few people left, after all, the Five Elements Sect recruits disciples every year, and the rules are the same every year.
"Okay, then let's invite you to participate in the assessment of the first level!" Kong Deming saw that everyone was almost gone, and stretched out his hand to point towards a towering long ladder next to him.
"This ladder is called the Ladder to the Sky! Those who can step up to the 200th floor can enter the outer gate, those who can climb the 400th floor can enter the inner gate, those who can climb the 800th floor will be accepted as personal disciples by the elders of each peak of the inner gate, and those who can climb above the 900th floor will presumably be accepted as disciples by the masters of each peak in person! Okay, young man, go ahead, it's up to you whether you can enter the Five Elements Gate or not! Kong Deming waved his hand and signaled that people could start.
After listening to Kong Deming's words, people walked towards the towering ladder next to them.
Zhang Qi was leisurely in the crowd, looking around, many women also came to the assessment, he was not worried that he would be eliminated, he had already prepared in advance, he was still very confident that he would climb the two hundred floors.
Just when Zhang Qi kept sighing, which of these female disciples who came to participate in the assessment was beautiful and which one was ugly, he suddenly swept to the crowd of Luo Tian and Gu Qianxue.
When Zhang Qi saw Luo Tian, his body trembled unnaturally, his legs were almost abolished last time, but fortunately, his father spent a lot of money to ask for an elixir to cure his legs, and he raised his cultivation to the third level of refining through the elixir, otherwise he would not even have a chance to enter the Five Elements Gate.
But soon Zhang Qi sneered: "Hmph! Boy, I didn't expect you to be here, although I can't do anything about you, but my cousin is an inner disciple, I don't believe that you can still fight him with a small body refining fivefold! β
Luo Tian's divine consciousness that was mixed in the crowd was released, and he also found Zhang Qi in the crowd, with a murderous flash in his eyes, but he didn't tell Gu Lei that with Gu Lei's impulsive character, he might go directly to Zhang Qi and slaughter him, after all, Gu Lei almost died in Xuantian City.
Soon a group of people came to the bottom of the towering ladder, which held several thousand people, but it was not crowded.
People walked towards the steps one after another, Luo Tian was no exception, and Gu Qianxue and Gu Lei stepped on the steps one after another, as soon as they climbed the steps, Luo Tian felt a pressure coming instantly, not only the physical body was under pressure, but even the divine consciousness was oppressed.
And the first ten steps are not too stressful, most of the people present are people who refine the triple body, and the first hundred floors, even the people who refine the double body can walk to it.
Luo Tian followed everyone all the way to the hundredth floor, his brows furrowed, this ladder to the sky gave him a little strange, but where the strangeness was, Luo Tian didn't think clearly for the time being.
As the people advanced towards the second hundredth layer, some people gradually couldn't support it, and some people who were weaker in refining the triple body couldn't hold on and walked back, or they were simply pressed by the pressure and couldn't get up on the steps.
Once these people have been sitting for too long, disciples wearing the costumes of the Five Elements Gate will come up and carry them down the ladder to the sky.
Ask Tiancheng Shaocheng advocate Hongyun's face was indifferent, and he quickly came to the two hundred floors, without a trace of sweat on his face, he looked up at the heights, with a confident look on his face, as the first person who was famous in several nearby cities, his goal today was to be above the eight hundred floors.
And Zhang Hongyun's eyes swept to the few people next to him who were threatening him, and he walked up with force under his feet.
When he walked to the second hundredth floor, Luo Tian found that the people around him had been reduced by nearly one-tenth, which made Luo Tian wonder how Zhang Qi's straw bag could still go to the second hundredth floor?
Holding back the pressure, Luo Tian's divine sense probed towards Zhang Qi, and found that Zhang Qi's chest emitted a trace of blue light, which he couldn't find if he didn't look carefully.
"Yellow-class armor?" Luo Tian guessed in his heart that Zhang Qi must be carrying the same yellow-level armor, otherwise with his understanding of Zhang Qi, it would be absolutely impossible for the other party to reach the second hundredth layer.
Although Zhang Qi was wearing yellow-level armor, he was also under a lot of pressure at the moment, his legs were a little trembling, and he trembled and climbed to the two hundredth floor, Zhang Qi finally couldn't hold on and squatted on the steps and gasped for breath.
A sneer broke out at the corner of Luo Tian's mouth, although his divine sense was oppressed, he could still release it, condensed a divine sense, and slammed into Zhang Qi.
"Ah......h
Kong Deming felt a cold murderous aura behind him, saw a cold light flickering in the eyes of his disciple Zhang Daoyi, and looked at Zhang Daoyi's eyes, and happened to see the picture of Zhang Qi rolling down the steps.
"He's your cousin, isn't he?" Kong Deming asked in a low voice.
Zhang Daoyi didn't dare to slack off and replied: "That's right, he is the unsuccessful cousin I mentioned to you!" β
"Oh, then even if he passes the first level, as for the next few levels, you can do it yourself!" Kong Deming said indifferently.
Listening to Kong Deming's words, Zhang Daoyi was overjoyed, it was obvious that Kong Deming had acquiesced to Zhang Qi going through the back door by himself.
However, Luo Tian didn't know that he had just taught Zhang Qi a lesson, but he had made a big trouble for himself for no reason.
Luo Tian ignored Zhang Qi who fell, and Gu Lei and Gu Qianxue saw Zhang Qi, and a cold light flashed in their eyes, especially Gu Lei, if it wasn't for the difficulty of going down the steps to climb up, Gu Lei might have gone down, although this is in the Five Elements Gate, but it's still okay to beat up and get angry.
The three of them continued to walk forward, and when they reached the 350th floor, Gu Lei, the weakest of the three, gradually became a little overwhelmed, and his already fat body was gradually soaked with sweat.
Luo Tian saw Gu Lei like this, and secretly sighed in his heart that with Gu Lei's fourfold physique, he only lasted to more than the three hundredth layer, and Luo Tian had observed that Gu Lei was considered to be middle and upper among the people who participated in the assessment.
"Hold on, it's going to be four hundred soon, I always feel that there is something wrong with this ladder, try to hold on to more!" Luo Tian said in a low voice.
"Yes!" Gu Lei wiped the sweat from his forehead, knowing that he was the weakest of the three, he gritted his teeth and insisted on walking up.
