The Xiaoyue Sect ranked eighth among the top ten sects, and the relationship with the Heavenly Array Sect was okay before, but since the Taiming Sect attacked the Heavenly Array Sect, the two of them had no contact. The reason is that the Xiaoyue Sect was warned by the mastermind behind the Taiming Sect, and of course, no one else knew about these things except for their sect master.

"Haha! Where is it, this time your Heavenly Array Sect has shown its might, and it is really happy to wipe out the Taiming Sect!" Elder Chen of the Xiaoyue Sect laughed.

"Haha! Elder Chen has a good reputation, come, let me introduce you, this is our new sect master—Pingfan. Zuo Ming led Elder Chen to the ordinary front and introduced.

"Elder Xie Chen is here, and the ordinary people thank you here in advance. Ping Fan hugged his fist at Elder Chen and said.

"Haha! You're welcome, it is my Chen's luck to be able to come to participate in the inauguration ceremony of Sect Master Ping, and it is a great future for Sect Master Ping to be able to ascend to the throne of the Heavenly Array Sect Master, one of the top ten sects, at such a young age! Haha!" Elder Chen of the Xiaoyue Sect returned the salute with a fist.

"Elder Xie Chen's compliment, please inside!"

Pingfan actually doesn't want to be polite with these people, but after all, he is the protagonist today, no matter how unwilling he is, the necessary etiquette is still required. This is what he used to do in the business field.

With the arrival of more and more representatives of the sects, in addition to some small and medium-sized sects, even the nine top sects have already come seven, only the first-ranked Tianhai Sect and the second-ranked Cangjian Sect have not arrived, but the time of the succession ceremony cannot wait.

As the crisp and long bells rang one by one, the succession ceremony of the Heavenly Array Sect Master also began.

When he came to an altar made of jade in the center of the square, he looked up and saw that the altar was divided into ninety-nine steps, each step was about one zhang high, all of which were made of huge white jade, which exuded a radiant brilliance under the sunlight.

At the top of the altar is an altar with a huge statue of a man dressed in a robe, a hairpin on his head, a long beard reaching to his chest, his hands on his back, and his head looking up at the sky.

This person is said to be the founding grandmaster of the Heavenly Array Sect, and the first formation grandmaster of the entire Dongze Domain, Master Guangling. He is also the only person who has been said to have successfully crossed the endless sea of stars to the fairy world for hundreds of thousands of years. But whether this statue is a person from Guangling or not, no one knows.

According to the rules of the Heavenly Array Sect, each person who succeeded to the position of sect master had to walk up the ninety-nine steps made of white jade in front of him, and then bow to the stone statue, and then announce the world, and the ceremony would be completed.

It's just that these ninety-nine steps are not as simple as imagined, and it is not so easy to successfully step through.

It is said that these ninety-nine orders are equipped with formations, and those who are not proficient in formations cannot pass through them at all, and since the establishment of the Heavenly Array Sect, no one has been able to pass through them all.

Zuo Mingming, who was standing beside Pingfan, saw Pingfan looking at the white jade steps, so he spoke: "Pingfan, before entering this ninety-nine steps, I want to tell you something, this is the ladder to the sky, what does this mean I believe I don't say you can understand." ”

Speaking of this, Zuo Ming paused, seeing that Pingfan nodded, he continued: "Before each sect master takes office, as the heir of the sect master, you must ascend this white jade altar in front of the people of the world. Otherwise, it can only be said that you have no chance to be the suzerain. And on these ninety-nine white jade steps, a major array is arranged, you only need to break through the fifty-ninth order array to reach the top, as for the ladder behind, you can not go!"

This white jade stone step is similar to the place of trials, both of which are constructed from low to high-level large arrays, and if a disciple of the Heavenly Array Sect wants to become a candidate for the successor sect master, he must first pass the trial of the place of trials, and then climb this white jade stone step, in order to be able to successfully complete the ceremony.

And the large array that can smoothly enter and exit the place of trials has already been recognized by them as having passed the trial. Now I'm here, just going through the motions.

At the same time, the Heavenly Array Sect established its sect with the Formation Dao, and their Sect Master must be extraordinary in the Formation Dao attainments before they can succeed to the position of the Sect Master.

Pingfan didn't know this, and he didn't care much about whether he could become the sect master or not. Therefore, he didn't ask Zuo Ming why he could reach the top by reaching the fifty-ninth step instead of all the ninety-nine steps. But he happened to be learning the formation now, and he was also very interested in the trial of this white jade step.

He nodded and said, "I understand." ”

"Well, since you understand, I won't say more, you can start now. Zuo Ming said.

At this moment, the ninth bell rang slowly, and when Pingfan was about to walk towards the first stone steps, Duoyu who was standing on the crowd said loudly: "Ordinary, don't be reckless, you know?"

"Don't worry, Sister Duoyu, as long as there is danger, I will crush the jade plate in my hand, you can wait for me to come out with peace of mind!"

With a gentle smile on his face, he picked up the jade plaque in his hand and shook it, and strode towards the first stone steps.

Duoyu heard that Pingfan said that he would immediately crush the jade card when he encountered danger, she couldn't help but be stunned, knowing that Pingfan must have misunderstood her words, and she couldn't help but feel anxious, and when she was about to stop Pingfan and say a few more words, Pingfan had already stepped into the white jade steps.

"This kid must have misunderstood, I asked him not to climb the stairs above fifty-nine steps, he won't really break through!"

As soon as he stepped in, he felt that the stone steps had changed, and he saw a flash of light on the white jade steps, and the ordinary feet stepped on the stone steps, just like dragonflies dotting on the lake, emitting ripples.

Immediately after, a faint light curtain appeared in front of him, the light curtain was formless and colorless, and when touched, it emitted a faint ripple of water, blocking his way.

Ordinary knew that the prohibition in front of him was the entrance to the white jade stone level trial, and only those who held the token were eligible to enter, and no one else was allowed to enter. Moreover, this token will only be distributed to them by the sect when they pass the trial of the Heavenly Array Sect and become a candidate for the successor sect.

It's not that he has a privilege, it's that this big array is full of dangers, and if the level of the formation is not high, his life will be in danger. At the same time, it is also to prevent interference.

In the past, there was not only one candidate for the succession of the Heavenly Array Sect, every time the sect master was elected, several candidates would enter the white jade steps at the same time to compete, and whoever reached the altar first would be the next sect master. In this case, someone will interfere, which is one of the reasons why there is such a token.

The jade plaque was given to him by Zuo Ming three days ago, and he didn't care much about it at that time, and he didn't want to inherit the position of the sect master, so he casually threw it on the table of the Heavenly Array Palace, and it was not until today that he put it on his waist.

Ping Fan pressed the jade card in his hand to the light curtain, and the entire light curtain spread out, and a light gate more than one person high appeared, and Ping Fan stepped into it without hesitation.

But the moment he just entered the light curtain, the light curtain behind him closed instantly, and the entire scene in front of him completely changed.

The previous white jade steps were gone, and what appeared was the vast cosmic starry sky, in the dark starry sky, a heavenly ladder floating in the void, extending upwards towards the depths of the starry sky, and there was no end in sight.

Ordinary was shocked, and looked at the endless starry sky in front of him in a daze, and deeply admired the formation attainments of the old sect master of the Heavenly Array Sect, Master Guangling.

"Is this another space built with formations? what a big deal!" muttered to himself. Step on the ladder.

Just as he stepped into the ladder, he saw that the ladder floating in front of him disappeared in an instant, and what appeared in front of him was a void.

Ping Fan was stunned for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Is this a trick?"

Without hesitation, he strode directly into the void in front of him, and suddenly, the ladder appeared in front of him.

At this moment, a distant sound came from the void space, and this voice seemed to come from the sky.

"Self-confidence is a must for everything to get started, and it's good that you've taken the first step. ”

As soon as this voice appeared, it made the ordinary person stunned for a while, and he looked around, trying to find the source of the sound, but the starry sky was endless, and after the voice said this, there was no sound again.

"Who are you, why are you here? ”
