Chapter 13: The Mystery of the Tower of the Ladder
Most of the people present were not in a hurry, after all, they were not in the kind of treasure grabbing copies with fast hands and slow hands, and secondly, they were not in the kind of situation where they could take advantage of the first move...... On the contrary, even if everyone knows that the person who goes first may not be able to tell what he has experienced, but will choose to sell it as information, he still inevitably has the idea of "let the person in front explore the path first", as if he can suffer a lot less if he goes in later.
What's more, this "Tower of the Heavenly Ladder" does not limit the number of people who can enter it! No one would think that a saint had forgotten to mark that limit. So, except for the absolute minority of the people present who are about to celebrate their 100th birthday, no one has said how this "under 100 years old" is counted, has it? What if it wasn't counted by days, but by the hours and even minutes and seconds of the sound? No one doubts that such a tower of trials erected by the saint will not be able to distinguish the exact age of people, the difference is only in the way and accuracy of the identification.
Finally, after a moment of hesitation, three people walked out of the crowd at the same time, one with the appearance of a middle-aged person, and the other two looked completely elderly. Just such three people, even if it is the one with the appearance of a middle-aged person, when they are taken outside, no one will definitely divide them into the ranks of the "younger generation"! But they are not more than 100 years old.
That's right, they are the third of the rare people in the huge crowd who are about to turn a hundred years old, the middle-aged cultivator is good, and he has already entered the Dao Palace Secret Realm, while the two old people are still only monks in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm.
However, the Tower of the Ladder has no restrictions on these. As long as you have cultivation, you can enter, right? In front of everyone's eyes, the three monks, who had been co-opted by a few small forces, walked side by side from the entrance into the dojo. With reverence for the saint, he entered the Tower of the Ladder of Heaven. The Tower of the Ladder was like a beast devouring people, and the three of them had just approached the entrance of the first layer of the tower. There was a wave that gently flooded, and the three of them disappeared immediately, without any movement.
No one suspected that it was a trap or anything - all that could doubt it in such a situation was undoubtedly super funny, so everyone outside the venue just waited quietly. The Tower of Trials, since it is called Trials, it must not be life-threatening.
Sure enough, it wasn't life-threatening - everyone confirmed it a minute later, because one of the three people who had gone in earlier had come out, with no scars on his body. But it's a bit embarrassing...... Because he looked like he was thrown out. At the same time, there was a slight fluctuation above the first layer of the Tower of Trials that could be seen clearly, and a message spread out as the person was thrown out, and then it calmed down.
Almost everyone caught that message - Cultivation: Wheel Sea Secret Realm Shenqiao Realm, the first layer and the first level of the trial failed, the potential was not evaluated, and a basic consolation prize was obtained.
Everyone can understand what this does not evaluate, and there is a look of contempt or sympathy in the eyes of the old man, or simply ignore it. Even if the potential value is very low, it can be regarded as an evaluation, right? No evaluation...... That is, lower than the polar regions?
But anyway. As the first old man to come out of the tower, this old man must have first-hand information - even if everyone knows that he has not even been able to pass the first level of the first level of trial, but whoever enters must go through the first level of the first level, right? As for what the consolation prize is, no one is curious, after all, there are two words in front of it. In addition, the old man held in his hand a small piece of pure source of about half a catty that had not yet been put away—perhaps there was nowhere to collect it—and everyone knew that it was probably the reward.
It's very small, but it's almost as if you can get it by going in! It's the same for everyone! Everyone couldn't help but sigh again at the saint's generosity. Don't look at this little thing, how many monks are there in the world? No matter how little there is, you can't hold up a large base! An author is often obscene. If the Great Celestial Empire gave him a dime each...... Ahem.
However, this information cannot be given out plainly, and the real big forces will definitely not look down on it. If you like it, you won't choose to send someone to contact this old man in person, some small forces are quite enthusiastic about this, and soon someone even coerced and lured the news from this old man, of course, it was exclusive.
Price...... Look at the pure source that the old man has about half a catty in hand, how about we kindly help you make up a whole and give you half a catty? The old man didn't dare to resist, not everyone had Ye Hei's courage to resist and the wisdom to take advantage of the situation. This old man didn't even dare to show the slightest disrespect to the small force miscellaneous servants who bought and sold by force!
Perhaps, this is the sorrow of the weak who have been smoothed out by reality.
This is not a piece of news of much value, just look at the face and behavior of the head of the small force who bought this news after understanding it clearly. The little boss of that power immediately chose to publish it and sell it to everyone - if it was a very valuable piece of news, he would choose to give it to a stronger force than him for free, in exchange for a favor, or simply to recognize a backer.
However, this news was of no value, so he chose to make it public - anyway, it didn't cost much, it was just half a catty of pure source, it was really not worth it compared to eating alone and being faintly hostile to the many scattered cultivators present who had no power.
So everyone knew what the first level of the trial was, according to this casual cultivator, it was a "light person" whose cultivation realm was slightly weaker than him, but he had more experience than him, a "person" composed of light, and his trial task was to kill it.
Needless to say, the next one he failed. However, many people who learned this news had some guesses about the situation on the first layer - except for a very small number of genuine goods, no one would think that the trial of the first level of the first layer was a "light man" of the Wheel Sea Secret Realm Shenqiao realm, and the strength of the light man should be defined according to the strength of the trialist himself!
Soon, this speculation was confirmed, and the second person came out, but it was not the other elderly Shenqiao monk that most people guessed, but the middle-aged man of the secret realm of the Dao Palace. He was a little stronger than the first old man, but he passed the first and third level trials, stopped at the fourth level, and was evaluated - if there is no chance, there is no hope of turning into a dragon. Potential Rating: Low. A third-degree consolation prize.
The treatment he received was much better than that of the old man before, and although the potential evaluation was low, everyone knew that this tower was set up by a saint! Naturally, the evaluation of potential is also from the perspective of the saints themselves, is it the same as their low-handed ability? Don't say that it has turned into a dragon, it is the secret realm of the four extremes, and even the secret realm of the Dao Palace! In the eyes of many hard-working cultivators, he can be regarded as a great master! The third-level consolation prize is a full hundred catties of pure source, which makes many people blush but dare not make any moves.
Soon, another force came to buy the news of this Dao Palace realm casual cultivation, the price was not high, but it barely satisfied the casual cultivation of this Dao Palace realm, but unfortunately the value was still not large, and the force immediately chose to announce it, and some of the speculations of the people were verified.
The first layer of the first level of the trial is indeed a light man whose strength realm is slightly weaker than that of the trialist! But the part about experience was a bit surprising, according to what this Dao Palace Realm monk said, the combat experience of the first-level first-level light man was slightly weaker than him, and he was easily defeated...... It soon became clear to everyone that the experience of battle was probably another fixed grade, rather than changing according to the situation of the monk.
This is also normal, after all, experience is very abstract, and no one can make up their minds before they see it, right? No matter how strong a person is, he can only vaguely judge the experience of others based on clues, unless he tries it with his own hands.
However, the light man of the second level of trial had no change in experience, and his strength realm was equal to him, and he was defeated after paying a little price.
The strength of the third-level light man is slightly stronger than him, but the experience is still the same, and he paid a lot of price before he was defeated! As for the fourth level, he is still a light man, but his strength has returned to the level of the first level. It's just that the combat experience has been qualitatively improved, and under the premise that his strength is only slightly weaker than him, he is almost led by the nose, and the battle rhythm is completely mastered by the light people!
So he was brutalized, and finally thrown out, and all the injuries he received disappeared after leaving the tower.
Once again, the crowd deduced some information from this, that is, the third to fourth levels seemed to be a hurdle, and the first level of trials seemed to value experience...... This is important news. But there was not enough information, everyone continued to wait for the third person to come out, and the remaining old man of the Shenqiao realm insisted on a time beyond everyone's expectations, and many people expected him to be able to surprise everyone.
The old man came out quickly, but it was not a surprise to everyone...... It's a fright!
The reason is very simple, there is a saying that the master is in the folk - this old man who is only in the realm of the other side of the realm actually broke through the ninth layer and stopped at the tenth layer! And he got such an evaluation: perseverance is commendable, but unfortunately he is hindered and does not dare to work hard. If resources are available, Sendai is promising. Potential evaluation: high, close to one star.
What is it? It turned out to be a buried genius! Perseverance is commendable, that is equivalent to the praise of a saint! And even at the age of 100 years now, it is still expected to be Sendai! As for the criteria for evaluating the potential, combined with the situation of the previous three people, everyone had some guesses. (To be continued......)
