401. Chapter 401: The Ladder to the Heavens

As soon as Chu Jingtian's footsteps moved, he walked towards the stone tablet.

Seeing his movements, Yemo and Cangye also came back to their senses and immediately followed.

The stele is not big, three feet square, and what is engraved on it is indeed the conditions for passing this layer.

"Climb the ladder!

Step up the stairs, walk along the thousand and one floating steps to the end of the stairs, enter the white jade portal, and enter the sixth floor of the Phantom Tower.

There are only three attempts per person, so be sure to be prepared before stepping up the ladder.

After climbing the ladder three times, if you fail to successfully step into the sixth floor, you will be rewarded with the best score of the three times. ”

"Sure enough, I guessed correctly, let's go up this staircase. After reading the handwriting on the stele, Cang Ye said helplessly.

"This staircase, I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems. Yemo said, his eyes looking at the stairs beside him again.

The white jade staircase that stretched into the distance was nothing special except that the steps were suspended. There were no runes, no formations, and not even a trace of energy fluctuations, so it really didn't make people see any mystery.

Chu Jingtian nodded and said, "Well, the first floor of the Illusion Tower is more difficult than the first, and looking at the difficulty of the first few floors, you can know that this staircase will not be easy to walk." ”

"Why don't I go up and try it first?" Cang Ye said: "Anyway, everyone has three chances, and it doesn't matter if you waste one." ”

"Don't go. Chu Jingtian said: "This fifth layer is judged by the number of steps on the stairs, so every opportunity is extremely important and must not be wasted." ”

"But we can't just wait like this!" Cang Ye said.

"Of course not. Chu Jingtian smiled slightly and said, "Wait a minute, someone will help us try." ”

At the same time as his words fell, not far behind them, a white light lit up on the teleportation array.

Then, three figures appeared in the array.

After seeing the surrounding environment clearly, the three of them walked directly towards the location of Chu Jingtian and the three of them, and they also saw the stone stele.

And Chu Jingtian took Yemo and Cang Ye to retreat a little and make way for the three of them.

The three of them stopped in front of the stone tablet, and after reading the handwriting, they did not rush to climb the ladder, but turned to look at Chu Jingtian and the three of them.

"Brother Grimace is a good means, I admire it below. "It was a man wearing a full moon mask. The means he said were naturally that Chu Jingtian and the three of them would hide the time of entering the city from everyone.

However, he said admiration, but there was a hint of coldness in his tone. It was precisely because the three of them hid that the twelve of them became the target of the public, so they were also placed by Chu Jingtian, and their attitude was naturally not too good.

But they actually knew that they couldn't reason with Chu Jingtian about this matter at all, who let them be the first batch to enter the fourth layer after Chu Jingtian? Therefore, this can only be blamed on their bad luck.

"Brother Full Moon is polite. Chu Jingtian didn't seem to notice the other party's attitude, and after answering softly, he looked at the three of them.

The three of them wore the masks of the full moon, the golden eagle, and the white crane, and he recognized that all three of them had entered the fourth floor after them, three of the twelve.

Hearing this, the full moon originally wanted to say something, but at this moment, the white light on the teleportation array lit up again, and this time it lit up one after another, and the geniuses of the fourth layer began to teleport over one after another.

The first to teleport over were also three people, wearing three masks: a butterfly, a centipede, and a clouded leopard, among which the butterfly was a woman.

Immediately after, seven or eight more people teleported.

These people, plus the six people who were teleported from earlier, happened to be the first group of people to enter the fourth layer except for Chu Jingtian and the three, and their strength was also the top among the three thousand people who held the jade medal.

And after these more than ten people teleported, they all went to see the stone tablet next to the stairs first, and then they all looked at Chu Jingtian and the three of them coldly.

The Grimace Trio were the first to enter the fourth layer, and the news had already spread among them.

Their attitude towards Chu Jingtian is also the same as that of the three of them in the full moon, so naturally they will not give the three of them a good face.

Feeling the hostility coming from everyone, Chu Jingtian gently put one hand behind his back, and had already taken out the crystal bottle containing the killer queen bee.

If he was alone, then with his speed, he could have escaped, but now that they were three people, it would be impossible to escape, so once these people really wanted to be unfavorable to the three of them, he could only rely on the killer bee, and as for killing people or something, he couldn't care about it.

But fortunately, those people were not too impulsive. After all, they had now reached the fifth layer, and no one wanted to clash with people at this time, because once they were injured, they would have to leave the Illusion Tower in advance, and that would be more than worth the loss.

Therefore, after coldly looking at Chu Jingtian and the three of them for a while, everyone no longer paid attention to the three of them, but instead began to study the staircase.

Seeing this scene, Chu Jingtian and the three of them all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked away for a while, widening the distance between them and everyone.

"Damn, I was scared to death, I almost thought I was going to war. Cang Ye turned his back to everyone and patted his chest and said.

"Among those people, there are a few very strong, especially the three people wearing ice and snow, butterflies, and white crane masks, if they really encounter them, they must be careful. Yemo said in a heavy voice.

She felt that the strength of those three people was probably not weaker than her.

"And the full moon, the leopard, the brown bear, and the centipede, you should also be careful. There was a hint of severity in Chu Jingtian's eyes, "The strength of these people is all extremely strong, it seems that the competition in the selection behind this will be extremely fierce!"

"Then shall we continue to wait?" Cang Ye asked softly.

"Keep waiting. Chu Jingtian nodded and said, "First, now these people are hostile to us, just in case, we must step on that staircase after them." ”

"Second, we don't know what the situation is on this staircase now, so it's not too late for us to act after someone goes up!"

"It's fine. Yemo and Cangye both nodded.

After that, the three of them simply sat cross-legged and began to practice, the concentration of aura in the fifth layer was not as bad as the fourth layer at all, and the speed of cultivation was still very fast.

At the same time that the three of them began to cultivate, this fifth layer gradually became lively.

As the melee on the fourth layer gradually ended, more and more geniuses with jade medals entered the fifth layer.

Then, it wasn't until three hours later, when it was nearly afternoon, that the white light of the teleportation array stopped coming on.

At this time, the number of people in this fifth layer happened to be a full three thousand.

These people are the first batch of people who have passed the selection of the Phantom Tower, and now, whether these people can step into the sixth layer or not, they are already qualified to participate in the next round of selection.

So after these people saw the stone tablet and understood the situation on this floor, even many people were ready to step on the stairs to try.

Anyway, they have already been able to participate in the next round of selection, and they don't have any psychological burden, even if they fail, it doesn't matter.

Seeing that someone was planning to climb the ladder, the people near the staircase immediately moved out of the way, ready to take a closer look.

Chu Jingtian and the three of them also stood up, slowly walked to the periphery of the crowd, and then watched quietly.

Under the gaze of everyone, dozens of figures with various masks walked towards the suspended staircase.

"Smack!"

In an instant, the first man's foot landed on the first step.

And with this soft sound, everyone's eyes subconsciously stopped on this person.

However, nothing happened.

It was as if the man had stepped on the most ordinary steps, the stairs did not react in any way, and there was nothing unusual about the man.

Everyone's hearts couldn't help but have some doubts, could it be that this suspended staircase was just used to test everyone's courage and see if everyone dared to go up?

If that's the case, then this ladder is too simple!

And outside the crowd, Chu Jingtian's eyes narrowed slightly, he was sure that this staircase would definitely not be so simple, because this was the fifth floor of the Illusion Tower.

Therefore, he was sure that there must be some mystery in this staircase, but it had not yet been revealed.

"Smack!"

There was another soft sound, and the man's second foot landed directly on the second step.

After being forced, the second step suspended in the void was still unmoving, as if it was fixed in the void.

Moreover, neither the staircase nor the man had any unusual reaction, as if the staircase was really an ordinary staircase, but it was built in the void.

Then.

"Smack!" "Smack!" ......

The man's footsteps did not stop, and he walked up the stairs step by step.

In the blink of an eye, he walked more than ten steps and stepped on more than ten steps, but neither the steps nor the person had any abnormalities.

Seeing this scene, those geniuses who were already preparing to go up couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed towards the white jade staircase, which was more than ten meters wide, and there were nearly 100 people up in an instant.

Without exception, none of them showed any anomalies, and all of them walked forward as if they were walking on a normal staircase.

What's more, the staircase is still the same. Today, there were at least seven or eight people standing on each of the suspended steps, but the steps were still extremely stable and did not move in the slightest.

In this case, more and more people in the surrounding crowd were tempted to step on the staircase, and in a moment, the number of people on the staircase exceeded eight hundred, and all of them were moving forward quickly.

And at this moment, on a step in the air, there was a sudden exclamation......
