It is not far from the time when the East Courtyard of Qingfeng Academy will open, and it has also caused everyone who is qualified to rush to the East Courtyard City.

Fu Ran held the back of his head with both hands, and his gaze kept sweeping around.

In just a moment, Fu Ran saw dozens of people from forces, as well as some forces he didn't know.

"This is the only place where the geniuses of the various forces in the entire Eastern Regions can gather together!" Shen Zixu sighed.

Hearing this, Fu Ran nodded slightly and said, "Among these people, in addition to coming from various forces, the others are from various empires, but unfortunately it is difficult to distinguish their identities. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Ran shook his head with a wry smile, Fu Ran also had a lot of information about the forces in the Eastern Regions, but his knowledge of the empire was very limited, even if a person from a big empire stood in front of him at this moment, he couldn't distinguish it.

"There are tens of millions of people in the Eastern Regions Empire, and the people of the empire are not like the disciples of the power who wear things that distinguish their identities, so it is naturally difficult to distinguish, but you can also see some things from the way you dress, do you see those two? They are both wearing purple clothes, and they look like they are people of the same force, but do you see the short swords they are wearing? They are all worn on the back waist, which is the typical attire of the Sanjiang Kingdom. Shen Zixu pointed to the two teenagers in the distance and said.

Fu Ran looked away, and sure enough, these two people were wearing purple clothes, and the short sword was worn on the back waist, except for the facial features, they were generally the same, and they felt like powerful people at first glance.

Immediately, Fu Ran looked around again, and sure enough, he saw that some other people seemed to be powerful people, but if he looked closely, he didn't look like them.

Seeing Fu Ran's appearance, Shen Zi raised his chin. Said: "Although my Sang Kingdom is only a small empire, it is in the center of the Eastern Regions. Most of the empires in the Eastern Regions are still known. ”

Fu Ran chuckled lightly and did not answer. If it was before, he would definitely ask Shen Zixu for advice, but just now he suddenly thought of Bu Yao.

The Eastern Empire is the first empire in the Eastern Regions, one of the six major forces in the Eastern Regions, Yan Ni also said at the beginning that the Eastern Empire secretly controls more than half of the empires in the Eastern Regions, so for the understanding of the empire, I am afraid that no one can compare with Bu Yao.

"I don't know if they've arrived in East Courtyard City!"

When I came to Dongyuan City, there was no one else I knew except Shen Zixu. There is no one who can believe it, if he can see Bu Yao and others, he can also find out a lot of news.

The Blood Sect is like a big stone pressing on Fu Ran's heart, if it can't be solved, it will be difficult to sleep and eat.

"Look, that's the ladder to the East Courtyard City!" At this moment, Shen Zixu suddenly spoke, attracting Fu Ran's gaze.

Stairs splinter upwards, but there is nothing to support them below. It's like being built in the void.

Counting down, there are a total of 99 steps, each step is about one foot high and about three feet wide. In the heart of the East Courtyard City, this square without buildings is very conspicuous.

And at the bottom of the stairs, quite a few people gathered. It's all about bowing their heads and talking.

"Brother Shen, what is the purpose of this ladder to the sky?" Fu Ran asked.

was asked by Fu Ran. Shen Zixu's expression also restrained a little, and he said in a deep voice: "Climb the ladder." Ascending the ninety-nine steps to the sky in one step seems simple, but since the existence of the ladder to the sky, only four people have successfully climbed the ninety-nine steps. ”

Fu Ran's expression changed slightly, since the completion of the construction, only four people have successfully climbed the ninety-ninth steps?

Fu Ran didn't know how difficult it was to climb the ladder, but since only four people had succeeded in history, it could be seen how difficult it was.

"Look, someone's going up the ladder!"

"I know him, his prince of Ning Chengguo, has reached the early stage of the Soul Mystery Realm, and I don't know how many steps he can climb?"

"I'm afraid it's not more than half. ”

"It should be more than that, it is said that the peak of the Soul Xuan Realm can climb the ninety-ninth step, and I think this prince should be able to climb the sixty-ninth step. ”

A young man appeared by the stairs, looking proud, a flash of pale red robe swaying in the wind, and after glancing at the ladder, he stepped up.

Seeing someone ascending the ladder, everyone's eyes fell on this prince, and Fu Ran was no exception.

I saw that after the prince stepped on the stairs, his expression remained unchanged, and he stepped up step by step, slowly, but calmly.

"How can it be so easy?"

"What do you know, this ladder to the sky is divided into three stages, the first thirty-three steps are not difficult, anyone whose strength has reached the realm of the sect can climb it, the middle thirty-third order is much more difficult, as for the last thirty-three steps, on the contrary, those who can step into it are all geniuses among geniuses. ”

Seeing the calmness of Prince Ning Chengguo, many people were discussing, some were amazed, and some were disdainful.

"Brother Fu Ran, how many steps do you think he can climb?" asked Shen Zixu to Fu Ran.

Hearing this, Fu Ran shook his head slightly, and said: "It's also the first time I've seen this ladder to the sky, and I don't know about its difficulties, so naturally I can't judge, relatively speaking, I'm more curious about why there is such a ladder in this Eastern Courtyard City." ”

The moment he saw the ladder, Fu Ran thought a lot, this city belongs to the East Courtyard of Qingfeng Academy, so the appearance of this ladder must be inseparable from the East Courtyard of Qingfeng Academy, maybe it was built on purpose.

As for the purpose, Fu Ran couldn't guess it.

"You say this, this ladder was moved from the Qingfeng Academy a hundred years ago, and it is said that after climbing the seventy steps, you can get the king-level assessment, and when you climb the ninety-ninth step, you can get the emperor-level assessment. Shen Zixu knew more than Fu Ran, so he said immediately.

Fu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, he is a king-level assessment, doesn't it mean that if he can't climb to the seventy-step, his king-level assessment will be a little unqualified.

Thinking of this, Fu Ran chuckled, and he also had the intention of giving it a try, but he was not reckless, and planned to take a look first.

It is said that at this moment, the prince of Ning Chengguo has already ascended to the thirty-third step, and when he stepped on the thirty-fourth step, his body suddenly froze, and his complexion also changed slightly, and this scene was clearly seen by Fu Ran.

"It seems that thirty-three is a watershed!" Fu Ran said secretly in his heart.

Ning Chengguo's prince took a deep breath and stepped out.

After taking one step, there was no pause until the fortieth step was reached.

After waiting for a while, he continued to go up, but this time, when the prince of Ning Chengguo used a stick of incense, he only climbed the fourth step, and at this moment, he was already sweating profusely and panting.

"Come down, it's just you, you can't even climb the fifty steps, so let's go back early!" a young man sneered, causing many people around him to laugh.

Fu Ran looked at this young man, his pupils shrank, he didn't know this person, but there was a diamond-shaped mark on his chest, which represented a big force.

A force called the Quartet Gang, and it is not an ordinary force, it can be regarded as a big force in the Eastern Regions, even compared to the Blood Sect Poison Sect, it is not weaker at all.

Prince Ning Chengguo's face turned red, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the young man who had just spoken, but when he saw the diamond-shaped mark on his chest, his pupils shrank, and he immediately pressed the anger in his heart.

This scene was seen by the young man who spoke just now, and he laughed even more unscrupulously.

"Get down, Young Master Ben give it a try, even if you don't get an emperor-level assessment, you have to get a king-level assessment in hand. The boy laughed.

"Cao Hong, if you can get the king-level assessment, then shouldn't the young master be the emperor-level assessment?" A joking voice came, attracting Fu Ran's prestige.

I saw the crowd parting, and a young man in a white shirt walked over, with a taunt on the corner of his mouth, followed by several teenagers.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be Liang Quanliu, a white-faced scholar from Baishu Mountain, if you want to try, Young Master Ben is waiting for you. The young man called Cao Hong was not angry by Liang Quanliu's words, but laughed.

Liang Quanliu stopped and said: "Forget it, I'm not as eye-catching as you, since I haven't been rated at the king level, then I'm afraid I won't be able to climb the seventy steps, and I won't be embarrassed here." ”

Hearing this, Cao Hong pursed his lips, and immediately stopped entangled with Liang Quanliu, looked up at the ladder, his expression slowly converged, and he took one step.

Fu Ran, who was in the distance, looked at all this, but sighed secretly in his heart, Dongyuan City is just a city, but now it has gathered the geniuses of the major imperial forces in the Eastern Regions, whether it is the Quartet Gang or Baishushan, they are all first-class forces.

Suddenly, Fu Ran said to Shen Zixu: "Brother Shen, why don't you try?"

Hearing this, Shen Zixu showed embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Brother Fu Ran said that it was funny, if I go to climb the ladder, I'm afraid it will be very good to be able to climb the forty steps, or forget it, but I think you are extraordinary, brother, why don't you try?"

Hearing this, Fu Ran didn't speak, and his eyes fell on Cao Hong, who was climbing the ladder, and said, "Let's try it in a while and see if I can climb the seventy steps." ”

Fu Ran opened his mouth flatly, as if he was talking to himself, but when he fell into the ears of Shen Zixu beside him, he was shocked, and even the two entourages beside him couldn't help but look at Fu Ran twice. (To be continued.) )
