The abandonment of the boat calendar is 224, the first day of the ninth month.

The civil and military exercises that shocked the empire had been progressing for more than half a year, but except for the high-level leaders of the imperial capital, the rest of the people didn't know anything about what was happening in the four civil and military holy towers, and all they could see was the red, green, yellow, and white pillars of light surrounding the four directions of the imperial capital.

Gradually, the four pillars of light have become the normal life of the people of the empire, and when you go out, no matter rain or rain, you can see the four pillars of light when you look up, as if the four main beams supporting the dome of the empire are standing.

However, on this day, the nine-month-long spectacle changed for the first time.

In the sky, the moment Sanyang shot out the first rays of sunlight, the people of the empire within the first-level defense line felt a trace of shock at the same time. The shaking was not only the ground beneath their feet, but also the air trembling, and even everyone's hearts couldn't help but start shaking.

Without exception, everyone seemed to be looking in the direction of the imperial capital with some feeling.

Rumble!

When the civil and military performance was opened, the golden pillar of light gushing out of the imperial capital actually reappeared after nine months, which contained a strange beast roar, like a cow, like a horse, like a deer, like a dragon, but it was extremely noble, carried by the pillar of light straight into the sky, and instantly broke through the white on the imperial capital.

A strange thing happened, the white clouds that were scattered by the pillar of light did not dissipate because of this, but reunited around the golden light after a few moments, and condensed into a golden noble appearance after just a few breaths.

"It's a Qilin Holy Beast!"

Seeing the gathering of auspicious clouds, countless people suddenly exclaimed.

That's right, the shape of the white cloud condensation is the symbol of the imperial capital, the holy beast unicorn!

In his life, the unicorn immediately stepped on the clouds and soared, constantly rushing around the golden pillar of light, and then hissed in the four directions of east, south, west, and north.

With the four hisses, in the four holy cities surrounding the imperial capital, the four-colored pillars of light suddenly lit up, and four phantoms rushed out in an instant, red as fire, green as wind, yellow as earth, white as ice, birds roaring dragons, turtles roaring tigers, it is the four holy beasts of the green dragon, vermilion bird, Xuanwu, and white tiger!

As soon as the four holy beasts appeared, the unicorn roared with joy, and after half a quarter of an hour, he turned around abruptly, and actually stood at the top of the golden pillar of light and slapped it with one claw.

Bang!

The golden pillar of light was as brittle as a clay pot under the claws of the unicorn, and it disintegrated into countless points of light in an instant, and then I saw the unicorn open its mouth and suck it, and in the blink of an eye, it sucked countless points of light into its abdomen.

What makes people feel strange is that the unicorn that devoured the pillar of light has undergone a slight change in its appearance, and it seems that a little deep color has gushed out from the noble outline outlined by Jin Bai.

However, the slightest change was not noticeable, and the unicorn, which had devoured countless points of light, first let out a roar of satisfaction, and then swept its eyes downward.

Ang –

In the astonished gaze of countless people, the Holy Beast Qilin suddenly swooped down and pounced fiercely towards the middle of the imperial capital.

Just when everyone was shocked why the human holy beast would suddenly attack the human imperial capital, countless pairs of wide eyes saw that the qilin in the air was constantly decomposing, and disappeared completely before rushing to the ground.

"Why...... Gone?"

Call!

A strong wind blew from the center of the imperial capital to all the territories of the empire, covering an area of hundreds of millions of square kilometers, and when the strong wind swept over, all the outdoor human beings seemed to be baptized by a spring water, and the vitality in the body couldn't help but mobilize, and the cultivation felt the urge to break through in an instant, and even the people of the White Tiger Domain, who were in a state of shock, calmed down at this time.

Looking at the four holy cities again, the four pillars of light of red, blue, yellow and white were entangled by the four holy beasts at the moment when the qilin decomposed, and after a roar, the four holy beasts pressed the four pillars of light in the direction of the imperial capital.

Thundered!

The originally invisible pillars of light were unexpectedly distorted at this time, and they all fell towards the Imperial Capital Forbidden City, and finally stopped at an altitude of three thousand meters above the Houqing Palace.

Poof!poof!poof!

The four holy beasts suddenly exploded, and at the same time disappeared four extremely bright pillars of light, when the four-colored brilliance dissipated, people were surprised to see that the four horizontal columns were connected from the top of the four holy towers to the sky above the imperial capital, hanging high.

If you take a closer look, the outline of the stepping stones is a horizontal bar, but ...... Four ladders!

"Look, what's that?"

"That's like ...... Figure?"

"It's a man! It's a man!"

"That's the trialist who participated in the show!"

......

"On the first day of September, the blood refining stopped. This is the end of the second trial. ”

The majestic voice rang out in the four holy towers at the same time, reaching the ears of all the trialists.

Inside the Four Holy Towers, the Seven Thousand Cave Mansions above the sixty-seventh floor dissipated in an instant, and the three great realms of the Second Trial instantly turned into the empty world inside their respective towers, and the scene of lush trees no longer existed.

All the trialists stopped cultivating and looked up at the Holy Beast Phantom above their heads.

"The third trial, the ladder. ”

With the voice of the holy beast, the trialist suddenly appeared in his mind the phantom of a long ladder, floating above the white clouds, with no end in sight.

"Ladder Trial Participation Qualification...... At the end of the second trial, the trialists above the sixty-seventh level will be qualified for the trial, and now they will start teleporting. ”

Before he could react, the trialists above the sixty-seventh floor of the four holy towers instantly turned into four-colored light and fire and disappeared from the Wenwu Pagoda.

......

There was a sudden darkness that made Qiao Ximing's brows furrow.

After a while, he felt his vision recover, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a long fiery red ladder deep into the clouds appear in front of him, and he stood in a square of tens of thousands of square meters with thousands of people, among which Snake Charm, Butterfly Rain, Luan Madness, and even Lan Shihong, Tuoba Yu, Xue Yiwu, and Chi Da and others were among them, but all of them had a restraining on their bodies, making them stand in place and not move.

Just now......

Qiao Ximing frowned, and there was a strange feeling in his heart, he always felt that before leaving the second trial, he seemed to hear something.

The voice seemed to be a scream.

Temporarily putting aside the doubts in his heart, he glanced at the square and suddenly narrowed his eyes.

This square is not just a simple square, but also the first step of the fiery red staircase!

Rumble!

The spirit of the fiery Suzaku appeared in the square.

"Trialist, welcome to the third trial. ”

Countless pillars of fire lit up, illuminating the ladder in the clouds.

......

In front of the Blue Dragon Ladder.

Viren glanced at Caesar, his eyes were as dark as water, and he heard the spirit of the green dragon say: "There are a total of 7,000 places in the Heavenly Ladder Trial, and only those who enter the second trial can participate, and you are the chosen one, and the final trial will be launched in the next time." ”

The Last Trial!

All the trialists were excited. Not to mention the treasures obtained by the second trialist in the cave house liquidation every month, the most attractive thing for all trialists in the entire civil and martial arts performance is the reputation and prestige that can be obtained after the trial.

Once they pass the trial, then no matter where they came from before, even if it is a third-level town, they will be able to ascend to the sky in one step and get the opportunity to enter the imperial circle. If the noun is high, it is not impossible to become a high-ranking member of the empire.

Countless low-level families have exhausted their clan's strength to send their own geniuses into this performance, or those with the ability to cultivate have tried their best to snatch the place of acting talents, all of which are at this moment, symbolizing the moment of success.

"The rules of the third trial are simple, and that is ......"

......

“...... Walk the ladder!"

Huang Liu's mind was not very concentrated, and his eyes always involuntarily drifted not far away, where was a golden slender figure, it was Yuna who was occupied by the demon god Houtu.

Even though Huang Liu's cultivation had made great progress in finally occupying one of the three caves on the top floor, he still hadn't thought of any way to help Yuna regain consciousness.

Behind him, Zheng Xi and Guan Xin also looked slightly gloomy.

The two of them also stayed in the second trial in the end, but instead of staying in the third realm, they went down to the first realm to find two caves to cultivate, and only then did they obtain the qualification to participate in the third trial.

While they were observing Yuna, two eyes were constantly scanning between them in the other direction.

These two eyes belong to the Right Martial Mansion Trialist, Merlin Morgan.

Merlin's gaze finally fell on Huang Liu, as if he had seen something, the corners of his mouth stiffly rose, and then he looked up at the White Tiger Spirit.

"There are seven thousand steps in the ladder, and each ladder can only carry one trialist, and all you have to do is to occupy your own heavenly ladder before the end of time. ”

......

"The time limit of the third trial is twenty-four hours, and each hour ladder will be judged once, if there are multiple trialists on the same ladder, there will be a tower spirit clone, and the first to break through will be qualified to survive the heavenly rank, and the rest of the trialists will be forcibly teleported back to the ladder square to start the trial again. ”

The number of trialists entering the Xuanwu Pagoda was the smallest among the four holy pagodas, with only about five thousand people, a quarter short of the seven thousand.

The trialists from the first realm and the bottom of the second realm did not know about the situation of the demon slaying battle, and they all showed puzzled expressions, but they were quickly attracted by the voice of the Xuanwu Tower Spirit.

"In addition to the tower spirit judgment, if the trialist dies, or falls down the ladder, he will also be directly disqualified from the trial. ”

"After twenty-four hours, the Heavenly Ladder will give a ranking reward according to the Heavenly Rank occupied by the trialist, and the reward will be the phase-level Spiritual Qi empowerment, the higher the Heavenly Ladder occupies, the greater the amount of Spiritual Qi obtained, please do what you can. ”

"The Ladder Trial, start immediately!"

Rumble!

The earthy yellow ladder shook violently, and then the restraints on the trialist disappeared in an instant.

......

Reiki empowerment!?

Everyone reminisced over the four words that Taling had said, and then their eyes erupted with longing.

The most important point of the advancement of the capable person is to absorb the aura of heaven and earth and transform it into his own vitality, which requires the assistance of the state of mind to be able to turn the aura into the corresponding level of vitality, but the aura empowerment is an exception.

The so-called Reiki empowerment is to forcibly pour a large amount of Reiki into someone's body, and these infusions of Reiki carry different state of mind experiences, and once they enter the body, they can be easily transformed into the cultivation of the able.

In other words, if someone has received enough phase-level aura empowerment, as long as their body can carry it, then they will be able to cross the threshold and become a phase-level ability!

After realizing this, the trialists in front of the four heavenly ladders went crazy in an instant!
