Chapter 179: Climbing the Ladder to Heaven (Third Update!)
There was a faint trace of killing intent in King Liang's eyes, today was Emperor Zhao's centennial birthday, it was a festive day, if he didn't care about Emperor Zhao's face and made a move against Ye Hao, it would be tantamount to slapping Emperor Zhao's face.
Moreover, Ye Hao was with someone from the Medicine Immortal Sect, which made him suspicious. He was speculating whether Ye Hao was a disciple of the Medicine Immortal Sect, and if so, he had a lot of worries before he started.
Usually at this time, they are all gifts from major sects, and all kinds of spiritual objects are readily available, all of which are valuable things. Just when Ye Hao was a little bored, there was a natural sound in his ears, which was pleasant and moving.
The sound is long and long, like mountains and flowing water, which makes people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves. In the middle of the crowd, there was a stand the size of a hundred zhang, which was used for performances, and many women dressed as fairies came to the stands.
Some played music, and some danced, which can be said to be a feast for the eyes of many warriors present. These women are all martial artists, and their cultivation is at least above the seventh level of the day after tomorrow.
The background of the royal family of Zhao State is really extraordinary, and even the women who dance and perform can have such cultivation.
Two hours later, the Thang Long will be held as scheduled, and this competition will be a battle of dragons and tigers. Zhao Huangwei was solemn, and he said indifferently: "This Shenglong meeting is still the same as before, and I wish you all a good ranking here." ”
As Emperor Zhao's words fell, a stone staircase appeared out of thin air in the center of the stands below, and this stone staircase rose from the ground and spread upward.
"This is the ladder to the sky, I have only heard of it in the past, but when I see it today, it really deserves its name. ”
"There are eighteen floors of the ladder, and it is said that above the ninth floor, it is difficult to climb each floor. In the past few times of the Ascending Dragon Society, at most there were people who climbed to the fifteenth floor, the last three floors. It is said that no one can climb below the congenital, I wonder if anyone can break this record this time?"
Although there are only 18 floors of this ladder, it feels as if it extends to the sky, and it is a bridge between heaven and earth.
The ladder is dozens of zhang wide, enough to accommodate hundreds of people to climb this ladder at the same time. On Emperor Zhao's side, a young man holding a fan walked out, he was the national teacher of Zhao State, and this person had extraordinary wisdom. Far beyond ordinary people's analytical power.
Then, the national teacher read the list of twenty people, this is the first round of people who stepped on the ladder to the sky, these people do not include Ye Hao, he has a good time, looking like he is watching a good show.
Among these twenty people, the lowest cultivation is the cultivation of the first and ninth level of the acquired ninefold, and the highest is the half-step innate level, and the strength is at the upper level in the half-step innate level.
This kind of lineup, in normal times. It was rare to see, and at this time, because of the Thang Long Society, they all gathered together.
Although the difficulty of the first nine floors is not high. But it took all twenty people a stick of incense to reach the ninth staircase.
Ye Hao could observe that each of them was struggling, as if there was an unbridgeable gap between each staircase, blocking everyone in front of them.
As for the tenth staircase. Its difficulty has increased several times, and for a while, these twenty warriors hesitated. No one dared to step on the tenth staircase.
On the ninth floor of the ladder, a young man in white smiled slightly and stepped towards the tenth floor, he had an indomitable spirit, as if heaven and earth could not stop his steps.
"Who is this person who has the guts to step into the tenth layer so quickly?"
"Hehe, I think he doesn't know the mystery of this tenth layer, otherwise, he wouldn't be so eager to attack. ”
"You are wrong, this person is the Tianjiao of the Taishang Sect, Su Ze, ranked third on the list of people, I think he has a certain degree of certainty, so he dares to go alone and enter the tenth ladder alone. ”
When Su Ze came to the tenth layer of the staircase, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi shook slightly, setting off layers of ripples. A huge figure appeared out of thin air, this is an ancient demon beast condensed by the vitality of heaven and earth, Zhu Yan, its body is like a giant ape, surrounded by flames, and the monstrous momentum is intimidating.
In the face of such a fierce beast, even the Acquired Ninefold Peak Martial Artist had to retreat, not daring to look directly at its edge. However, Su Ze did not have too much fear in his expression, he was worthy of being a disciple of the Seven Star Forces, and with this courage and courage, it was not comparable to ordinary martial artists.
Although Su Ze has never mastered the mystery of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, his use of Qi and Blood is superb, reaching the realm of transformation, and in his hands, the power of Qi and Blood can be derived at will. I saw the qi and blood in his hands surging out, turning into a dragon swallowing clouds and spitting mist.
This dragon is not only similar in appearance to the dragon, but also has some characteristics of the dragon, and can call the wind and rain.
As the body shape of the Qi and Blood Jiaolong changed, the sky above seemed to have undergone subtle changes, with dark clouds spreading, and then, rain falling.
This rain is not ordinary water, ordinary water, and it does not have the ability to extinguish the flames around Zhu Yan's body. Of course, Zhu Yan was not good at stubble, and flames burst out from his body and surged towards Su Ze.
After half a pillar of incense, Su Ze finally killed Zhu Yan, and Zhu Yan's body turned into countless sparks, among them, a few sparks fell into Su Ze's body, these sparks seemed to be of great benefit to him, and his face was full of enjoyment.
Then, Su Ze stepped into the eleventh layer of the ladder, and at this time, the warriors who stepped on the ladder with him were working together to reach the tenth layer of the ladder.
At this time, the national teacher read out the names of the twenty warriors again above, and it turned out that this ladder to the sky did not start the second round until the first round of people came down, but when the first round of warriors all stepped into the tenth layer, the second round would begin.
There was still no Ye Hao in the second round, and after a stick of incense, the second round of martial artists all stepped into the tenth layer of the ladder and started the third round, and Ye Hao's name was impressively listed.
And after Ye Hao stepped into the ladder to the sky, he noticed that someone was secretly observing him, after his divine soul perception was improved, how amazing his acuity was, although the other party deliberately hid it, he was still aware of it.
It was the Seventh Prince who secretly observed Ye Hao, and he was also among the people who stepped on the ladder to the sky this time, I don't know if this was a coincidence or another reason.
"I can't imagine that this person has no sect and no faction, the Medicine Immortal Sect recommended him to participate in the Ascending Dragon Society, which means that this person must have extraordinary skills, if he performs well in the future, he can consider bringing this person over and working for me. "Through investigation, the Seventh Prince already knows Ye Hao's identity and origin, and for such a person who has no sect and has outstanding talents, he is the target of his wooing.
"Climbing the ladder to the sky, the meaning is as difficult as climbing to the sky, but it is not difficult for me. Ye Hao roared in his heart, he had been depressed, he wanted to vent here.
In every way, the first nine floors of the ladder were not difficult for him, and he walked like a fly, ignoring the shackles attached to him.
Ten breaths, and in just ten breaths, Ye Hao ascended to the ninth layer. You must know that before this, those martial artists, the fastest of which took hundreds of breaths, to reach the ninth layer, while Ye Hao climbed to the ninth layer at a completely crushing speed.
"Ten breaths, he actually only used ten breaths to ascend to the ninth layer, and his father took twenty breaths to ascend to the ninth layer back then, and he was already shocked, how did Ye Hao do it?"
"If you can get this person's help, then ......" The Seventh Prince's expression was hot, he already regarded Ye Hao as his own person, and he decided that no matter what the price was, he would take this person under his command.
Below, many warriors looked stunned, some warriors even stood up, they looked at the scene in front of them blankly, and some warriors rubbed their eyes, subconsciously thinking that they were dazzled.
"Ten breaths to the ninth floor, this ......"
"He must be cheating, there's no way anyone can step into the ninth layer in ten breaths, it's a well-known thing. Some martial artists were jealous of Ye Hao's achievements, and couldn't help but speak.
"Cheating, no one has the courage to cheat under Emperor Zhao's nose. ”
Ye Zixi smiled sweetly, she couldn't help but feel happy for her brother, she had heard about this ladder in the past few days, so it was already quite amazing to step into the ninth layer with ten breaths, and she was even more faintly proud in her heart. (To be continued......)
