Chapter 33: The Ladder to Heaven

This place is called the Land of the Fallen Demons, and it is rumored that it was the beginning of countless great powers.

But as time goes by, the traces of the original gods and demons are no longer visible, just these legends are just handed down, but there will still be countless monks inquiring every day, looking forward to the fact that they may be able to get some opportunities from here, whether it is exercises, or magic weapons, as long as they can get one, it is enough for them to change their own situation, and those who are not gifted can use this to obtain the countless resources of the great sect, and those who are already talented may be able to take advantage of this to become a core disciple.

In fact, over the years, this place has been almost looted by them, leaving behind those very dangerous places, but even so, everyone still flocks to it.

The divine thought swept slightly, and Zhao Xianzong frowned slightly, this place is really extraordinary!

This is the breath of the fall of the Holy Venerable! In this way, it seems that this realm must be a desolate level existence, but I don't know why it ended up in such a field, it stands to reason that there is no possibility of losing both sides in the battle of the plane, and the only outcome of the losing side is to be completely devoured, not like now!

The only possibility is that this is caused by the monks of this realm!

Thinking of the Saint Venerable hidden here in the message of the Ruthless Emperor, Zhao Xianzong had a faint guess in his heart, but he had no intention of finding out, but his trip had a direct purpose.

The thought moved slightly, and the entire plane was encompassed, and when the divine consciousness slowly swept over a huge mountain range, Zhao Xianzong's heart jumped suddenly!

Because that's what he's here for!

With a slight flick of the sleeve, Zhao Xianzong broke through the void and left!

Legend has it that this mountain range is the place where the fortune of this world gathers, and under its towering mountains lies a shocking secret, which mortals say is a treasure, and monks say it is the road to heaven.

In short, there are many theories, but one thing is certain: this is definitely not easy.

But because this is the entrenchment place of the first immortal sect in this realm, it has blocked everyone's plan to find out.

Dare to open a faction with the order of the plane, its strength can be seen.

Because there are many nether planes connected to the Cangming plane, every time the monks of the nether plane reach a certain level, they will naturally discover this secret, and they will cross the border and become what they call the Ascension Upper Realm.

But because this realm is damaged, the rules of the plane are incomplete, and the so-called ascension is really good and bad, and the cultivation is already a hegemon, the emperor who is dictatorial for eternity, and the cultivation is low, but it is only a small Qi practitioner who cultivates, I have to say that the ability of the Qi practitioner to cultivate through the plane passage is also a person with atmospheric luck, and because of this, no matter how high or low the cultivation is, as long as it is independent from the lower realm, it has become a snatched thing by the major sects.

As the largest faction in the Cangming plane, the Cangming faction has three hundred and forty-two spatial passages, and there are many monks who have risen from the naturally closed nether realm, which is also one of the reasons why it is getting stronger and stronger, and it has endured for a long time, not to mention anything else, but 100,000 years ago, it was directly joined by a great emperor from the lower realm, and its position is unshakable with nine great emperors!

Hidden in the void and feeling the familiar aura, Zhao Xianzong knew that this great emperor who joined the Cangming Sect 100,000 years ago was the Chaos God and Demon in the original Reckless Plane, but he didn't come for this, but for...

The vast hinterland of Cangming is an open space, with an area of dozens of kilometers long, and there are many prohibitions on it, even if the emperor is strong, he can't resist its power, this is the meeting place of Cangming Mountain, once every thousand years, but all outstanding disciples can cross this formation, so as to completely step into the hinterland of the Cangming faction, so as to truly become the core disciple of the Cangming faction, or the position of elder.

It is also rumored that if you give up these statuses, you can get a chance to step into the upper realm again.

For their existence, they don't know that there are heavens and ten thousand worlds, they still think that this realm, the lower realm of this realm, and the legendary upper realm are everything, which is determined by the level of insight and cultivation, and will not change in any way because of their outstanding talents!

Not to mention them, even the ruthless emperor was not like this back then!

"Disciples, the millennium has come, and today is the day for us to discuss merit, but anyone who can stand out is qualified to enter the inner gate of the Cangming Sect, or become an inner disciple, or serve as an elder, or go to the upper realm, all of them are up to you!"

A woman stood in the air, her faint voice echoing through the heart of the valley.

The aura around her body was very vague, and everyone couldn't notice her depth, but Zhao Xianzong in the void could see at a glance that this woman was an existence with Da Luo cultivation.

After finishing speaking, she slowly swiped her fingers, and several chairs appeared out of thin air, and then the woman bowed slightly and said, "Welcome seniors!"

Tens of thousands of monks in the square also bent down at the same time and said, "Welcome senior~"

"Whew!"

The slight west wind slowly passed, and six figures with different expressions and different clothes appeared out of thin air on the seat!

These are six of the nine Great Emperor powerhouses of the Cangming Sect!

A man in Tsing Yi in the center waved his hand slightly and said, "No need to be polite!"

"Thank you, senior!"

The sound soared into the sky, and it was huge!

The woman who spoke up before took a slight step forward and said when she saw this: "Anyone whose name I have read, please take a step forward!"

"Liu Qingyun, 160,000 years of cultivation, killed hundreds of strong people of the same level with the realm of true immortals, and now he is only one step away from achieving the position of golden immortals, and he has outstanding achievements in the sect, although his talent is average, but it is enough to rank among the disciples of the true lineage, please come out!"

"Disciple is here!" said a white-haired old Taoist with a respectful face.

The woman looked at Lao Dao and said: "Respect the Fa Oracle, now you can choose one of the three, or become a true disciple and step into the inner gate, maybe you can go further, or choose to become the outer door protector and control the disciples to fight for my sect again, or choose to go to the upper realm and fight for the opportunity!"

Liu Qingyun said without hesitation when he heard this: "The disciple is willing to become the protector of the outer gate and add bricks and tiles to the sect!"

He naturally knows his talent and his own situation, he chooses the one that is most beneficial to him, he is not a person who is ambitious, otherwise he would not have fallen with the true immortal cultivation for 160,000 years, but instead killed a hundred peers, all because he can make the most beneficial choice for himself every time, his talent may not be good, but in terms of talent, it is a must!

It can be said that the elected people on the road to the ladder once every thousand years have their own extraordinary!

The woman didn't say anything when she heard this, she stretched out her hand and waved it slightly, and a red scroll flew into Liu Qingyun's hand, which was the appointment certificate of the elders of the outer gate.

After doing all this, the woman continued to say aloud: "Sun Wu, 230,000 years of cultivation, when he flew from the lower realm, he succumbed to the outer gate for 80,000 years, and he achieved the position of a golden immortal with a meagre cultivation of true resources, and he was really talented, but because of his lack of contribution before, he did not set foot on this ladder to the sky, but a hundred years ago, he was a golden immortal, solved the danger of Fushan, and repelled the three golden immortals of the Star Alliance to attack together, so he should enter this gate!"

"The disciple chooses to step into the inner gate and become a true disciple in the hope of going further!"

"Accurate!"

.......

The orders were one after another, and Zhao Xianzong in the void also looked slightly moved, but so many monks were so strictly forbidden, and the means were really extraordinary, not to mention that these were just a saint, but it was not easy to contain these nine emperors!

"Zhou Zhiruo, more than 100,000 years ago, he ascended from the Nether Realm, and he made great contributions to my sect by practicing qi cultivation step by step, and he killed countless monks who were chaotic, and his cultivation was even more directed at the realm of Daluo, which can be described as an outstanding achievement, but because he trespassed on the forbidden land 60,000 years ago, he was punished for guarding the Demon Domain for 60,000 years, and your predecessors have been doing your duty for more than 60,000 years, and you are allowed to go up the ladder of heaven again with special grace, how do you choose?"

The expression on the woman's face changed slightly at this time, at least not as cold as before, because she was facing a monk of the same level, and it was a monk of the same rank whose talent was still above her.

"She is Zhou Zhiruo from the nether?"

"Naturally, but we still don't want to be angry with such a female cultivator, the means are extremely bloody, you didn't go to the demon domain to see, now they are really miserable!"

......

Turning a deaf ear to the surrounding discussions, the woman in white had a face like frost and walked forward step by step.

After slowly standing still, the woman looked up at the six figures and said loudly, "The disciple chose to continue to the upper realm!"

The man at the head was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said in confusion: "This emperor asked you, back then, you trespassed on the forbidden land just to go to the upper realm?"

Zhou Zhiruo's expression was not shocked, and there was no change because of the gap in cultivation, and she said lightly: "Not bad!"

The man sighed slightly and continued to speak: "Then do you know that the upper realm is full of dangers, and it is not a paradise on earth, but you still insist on doing so?"

Zhou Zhiruo was silent for a while when she heard this, but when her fingers stroked the long sword on her waist, her expression instantly became firm and she said, "I insist~!"

When the man heard this, he sighed slightly, and he wanted to make a sound, but then his expression changed slightly, and he got up and said to the void: "Welcome to the Holy Venerable!"

The other five Great Emperor powerhouses were also the same movements, and this movement in the field really shocked the monks, they didn't expect that above these powerful predecessors, there was such a higher existence.

Zhou Zhiruo's cold eyes also showed a puzzled look, and then in her sight, a beautiful woman dressed in a moon white palace dress appeared, and she looked like she was between her age, but the vicissitudes of life around her body reminded her that this was a great power, and it was an existence that she couldn't understand.

It's just that the woman in the palace costume didn't pay attention to the emperors after showing her background, but looked at Zhou Zhiruo for a moment and said lightly: "It is indeed a rare beauty, no wonder it will cause such a big storm!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the void and continued to speak lightly: "A thousand years ago, there was a magnificent female venerable descended to this realm, this palace thought that she came to the world to plot this realm, but never thought that she was just here to find someone, after she left, this palace thought that the matter was over, so I didn't care, but I never thought that there would be a Taoist friend coming today, so it seems that Daoyou you are the person in charge behind the scenes, but what makes this palace wonder is that what kind of existence is Taoist friends, and can make the Holy Venerable serve you?"

As soon as these words came out, not only did the expressions of the six Great Emperors behind them change dramatically, but even the ordinary monks in the field changed their expressions greatly, even though they didn't know the vastness of the heavens and all the worlds, but they were still very clear about the hierarchical division of cultivation, even though they knew that the Cangming Sect was very powerful, sitting on nine Great Emperor powerhouses, but they didn't dare to think that the people behind the Cangming Sect actually thought that they were Holy Venerables!

What made them even more shocked was that there had been two Saint Venerables who had descended to this realm for thousands of years, and they didn't know anything about it!

After the palace woman finished speaking, she looked at the sky and was still very calm, and continued with a faint smile: "Daoyou, please show up and see it, isn't it a loss of the prestige of the Holy Venerable to hide your head and shrink your tail like this?"

"Alas!"

A faint sigh resounded across the universe, and then a dark figure slowly emerged from the void.

The woman in the palace costume was slightly stunned when she saw Zhao Xianzong's figure, but then she noticed the strange appearance of Zhou Zhiruo on her side, and saw that the knuckles of her fingers holding the hilt of the sword were already faintly white as if she had been struck by lightning, and the cold frost on her face had already disappeared, leaving only the endless resentment and unwillingness, which seemed to be mixed with other inexplicable breaths, even if she was a saint cultivator, she was unpredictable for a while.

The woman in palace costume said loudly: "Why did you come from?

Zhao Xianzong ignored Zhou Zhiruo's inexplicable look, looked at the woman in the palace costume and said lightly: "It's just a cause and effect when you come, kill her, this seat will leave, how about you still sit on your uncrowned king?"

Kill her!

These three words made Zhou Zhiruo, who was already in turmoil, feel a sharp pain in her heart!

"Choke!"

The Qinghong Sword came out in response, and with a slight movement of his hands, he wanted to attack and kill Zhao Xianzong in the sky!

"Forbidden!"

This voice came from the palace woman, after imprisoning Zhou Zhiruo, the woman sneered, looked at Zhao Xianzong and said: "What a kill her! But she is a disciple of my Cangming faction, how can you kill if you say kill? Do you really think that you are unparalleled?"

Zhao Xianzong's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, and he said lightly: "Since Daoyou insists on refusing, then you want to have a fight with this seat?"

Hearing this, the woman stretched out her hands, and a long ribbon also appeared in her hand.

Seeing the woman's behavior like this, Zhao Xianzong stood with his hands in his hands and said lightly: "This is the cause and effect of this seat, if you still act so arbitrarily, don't blame this seat for using its means!"

The woman in the palace costume sneered when she heard this: "This palace naturally knows that your identity is extraordinary, and your means may also reach the sky, otherwise how can you make the Holy Venerable strong person use it for you, but this female palace is Baoding, she has excellent talent, and her luck is condensed in this palace It is of great use!"

After finishing speaking, he easily lifted Zhou Zhiruo's ban and continued: "Can you really do it to the people you loved in the past? If you really can, you will have countless opportunities, why wait for the Dao Palace to appear, you are so strong? Who are you doing this for?"

Zhao Xianzong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said lightly: "Since Daoist friends insist on protecting each other, when he comes again, I hope that Daoist friends will not regret it!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xianzong flicked his sleeves and disappeared.

A moment later, Zhao Xianzong passed through countless planes and appeared from the void.

The ruthless emperor glanced at it inexplicably, and said lightly: "Have you ever ended it?"

Zhao Xianzong bowed his head slightly and smiled: "Naturally!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and looked at the Saint Venerable who was all looking at him and continued: "Next, please ask all Daoists to go to the Ten Thousand Worlds Hall with this seat, okay?" Everyone heard the words and replied: "There is no need!"

This is their way to liberation from now on, they have been looking forward to it for a long time, naturally they will not refuse, even if Zhao Xianzong is kind to them, but it is really unpleasant to be controlled by others for a long time!

After Zhao Xianzong left, Zhou Zhiruo came back to her senses, and said to the woman in palace clothes with blank eyes: "Thank you for the grace of the Holy Venerable!"

The palace woman smiled slightly when she heard this, and said inexplicably: "Do you still want to continue to the upper realm?"

Zhou Zhiruo was stunned when she heard this, and then replied with a dead face: "No need, disciple...."

The woman interrupted: "But because you are disheartened when you find that there is no hope for revenge, or is it because you don't want to really kill this negative person in your heart?"

Zhou Zhiruo was stunned when she heard this, and then said sadly: "Saint Venerable is cultivating like this, do you also feel like this?"

The woman in the palace costume immediately smiled and said: "This palace was also a mortal before, how can you not know all this? It's just that some things are forced to do so, if you want to stand tall and give up, it is a necessary thing, that person is very powerful, if you really want to take your life, today this palace can't protect it!"

Zhou Zhiruo was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then wondered: "What does the Holy Venerable mean by this?"

The woman in the palace costume smiled slightly when she heard this: "The saint is also a human being, after all, he has compassion, although the cultivation of this palace is far better than yours, but he can't explore your past at will, because he doesn't know your past, but the Xuanyi Holy Venerable really doesn't have the intention to kill you, it's just that you can't see it when you're in the game!"

Zhou Zhiruo remembered the three words that killed her coldly before, and then shook her head and said, "I don't believe it!"

Hearing this, the palace woman smiled faintly and said: "This is a fact, you have a lot to do with him, if you really have no intention of killing you, how can he allow you to survive, and you are still on the side of this palace, you must know that as long as the palace is willing, it is easy to use you to trace the origin of time, and it is easy to erase his past, do you know that if this is really the case, his peerless cultivation will be like a castle in the air, and it will be shattered at a touch, don't you understand?"

Hearing that Zhou Zhiruo was struck by lightning when she arrived, but looking at the empty sky, she was in a complicated mood for a while, all she had been thinking about for 100,000 years was to ascend to the upper realm and slash the peerless enemy with her own hands, but at this time, her heart was full of mixed feelings, and the belief that had been firm for countless years had been shattered and could no longer be glued!
