1. Chapter 1 The Ladder

Next Chapter

Ye Yun clenched his fists tightly, and there were shocking red blood stains all over his body. The already tattered black robe on his body has a few more holes. Lying on the ground, he gasped for breath, only feeling that the skin exposed from the tattered hole in his clothes, making intimate contact with the ground, was a great mockery of himself.

"No! even if I get blood to splash the ladder today, I have to break through!" Ye Yun punched the steps and shook his head, trying to sober himself up, but his consciousness became more and more blurred. No matter how wide your eyes are, you can't see clearly. Faintly, I only felt that there were people standing all around, all of them were noisy voices, some disdain, some sneering.

"Ah!" Ye Yun clenched his teeth, his lips had been bitten out of blood, and his black and white eyes were bloodshot. At this time, he was lying on the steps in front of the gate of Tianyun Sect, looking up at the void, and let out a low roar like a beast.

The nine hundred and ninety-nine steps of the Tianyun Sect "Cloud Ladder" stretches straight from top to bottom. On weekdays, this is just an ordinary step, and only on the day of selection, when the seal is lifted, will it become a "cloud ladder" with strong coercion! This is a kind of assessment for the entry of new disciples, and their qualifications and aspirations determine success or failure. The conditions for becoming a disciple of the Tianyun Sect are first of all to be a young man under the age of fifteen, and secondly, to walk up the ninety-nine steps on this "cloud ladder".

For those who have not practiced the Dao Method, the ninety-ninth rank can be said to be an extreme challenge, and there are thousands of people who participate in the audition, but there are only about fifty people who have actually passed this assessment.

Ye Yun's throat twitched slightly, and his voice became hoarse under his dry mouth. The fingers of both hands have been blistered and peeling, and blood has oozed from the wounds.

He only felt that his whole body was about to fall apart, this "cloud ladder" was not an ordinary step, but the founding ancestor of the Tianyun Sect specially set up for future generations. The original intention was for the disciples of the Tianyun Sect to sharpen their bodies, but they did not expect to be used by later generations to select disciples within the sect.

Ye Yun only felt that he was weak, and every time he crossed a step, the pressure increased by a few points, especially the higher he climbed, the more obvious this feeling became. Now he is already at the ninety-fifth order, and as long as there is still a fourth order, he can succeed.

It's just that this fourth-order is as difficult as climbing to the sky, and he only feels that there are thousands of catties of boulders pressing on his body, as long as he takes a step further, he may be crushed his hands and feet.

Ye Yun was sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of water, and kept shouting in his heart: "Everyone has three chances, and this is the last time for me." My younger brother has been selected, his qualifications are better than mine, and the family's feud may fall on him...... No, I can't fall behind! I'm just useless, this ninety-nine ladder, I have to climb it......"

It's just that Ye Yun was lying motionless on the steps, and his forehead was already oozing a little blood on the steps because of the impact. He tried to crawl forward, but there was no movement.

......On a stand next to the ninety-nine steps, a group of young men and women in blue robes happened to be shaking their heads. Some people look at them with sympathy and pity, some people sneer with disdain, and some people look down with a light breeze, as if they have nothing to do with themselves, and all they see is a person lying there like this.

Of course, there was one of these people who looked very ordinary, but his eyes looked a little gloomy. Among the group, he was the only one wearing a cyan robe, and those people faintly took him as the leader. It just made his expression a little arrogant at the moment, his eyes squinted at Ye Yun on the steps, and sneered: "I, Zhu Quan, have been in charge of several sect elections, and I have seen all kinds of people. I have never seen such a stupid person, and I have no self-knowledge at all. ”

After speaking, he also looked at a somewhat burly young man. This teenager was a little thin compared to this group of people. However, he just glared at Zhu Quan's words, then looked at Ye Yun on the steps with a nervous expression, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said in his heart: "Brother, you will definitely do it." We have to avenge the family together, and I am waiting for you at the end of this ninety-ninth step!"

He is Ye Yun's younger brother Ye Feng, with outstanding talent, and at the time of the first selection, he was discovered by the law enforcement elders in the door, and he was even exempted from the follow-up selection test, because he was an innate Dao spirit body!

If you want to say who knows Ye Yun best in this world, then only Ye Feng, he knows his brother's character, he doesn't talk much on weekdays, but his personality is extremely tenacious, otherwise he wouldn't have worked hard to break through the cloud ladder three times in a row.

For the sake of the family feud, Ye Yun is insisting!

A slightly chubby disciple beside Zhu Quan bowed his waist slightly, squinted and said with a flattering smile: "Senior brother is right, this guy named Ye Yun really doesn't know the times. Obviously, he is already fifteen years old, and he is still only a fellow of the eighth order of the Daoist, what a waste, even his younger brother's cultivation is higher than him!"

Zhu Quan waved his hand and sneered: "Senior brother, there is one thing you are mistaken. For a person with ordinary qualifications, it is already very good that he can still cultivate to the eighth order of Daoist disciples in this life. What's more, since the opening of my Tianyun Sect, I have set up this cloud ladder to test my disciples. The ladder is not just cultivated to be high, you must know that those newcomers who meet the standards do not look at how high the cultivation is. ”

For Ye Yun, these words were a naked, naked, and naked, if it weren't for Ye Feng's scruples, I am afraid that he would have to fight with this senior brother in charge of the assessment in the door first.

Now everyone's eyes are on Ye Yun, of course, through his first two performances, except for his younger brother Ye Feng, who has always believed in him, everyone is not optimistic about him.

"Look at the way he looks, he can bleed to death. I'm not a waste of all kinds of people in the Tianyun Sect......"

"In my opinion, this kid is afraid that he will not be able to do it. These ninety-nine ladders were nothing at first, but when they exceeded eighty-eight, they were like a mountain pressing on their heads. "Where there are a lot of people, there will inevitably be more gossip.

Ye Yun had been lying on the ground, and he couldn't hear the rumors in the stands at all. He only felt that every muscle in his body was going to be deformed under this powerful pressure.

"Ahh

In front of everyone's eyes, Ye Yun miraculously climbed another step of the ladder. The disciples of the Tianyun Sect in the stands were stunned for a moment, but it was only a matter of counting breaths, and some people scoffed again, because Ye Yun was lying motionless on the steps again.

Zhu Quan clenched his fists, frowned, and looked gloomy, he was in charge of the selection of disciples in the door twice. Naturally, it can be seen that this cloud ladder seems to take great care of Ye Yun, and the pressure on the other party is several times greater than that of ordinary people. But this waste Ye Yun actually persevered, why is this? Zhu Quan unconsciously felt a little more jealous of Ye Yun in his heart.

"Cut...... It's nothing more than luck......"

"Yes, he's already at the end of the crossbow......"

"Hehe, have you seen it, this kid has even used the strength to feed...... this unexpected time made the disciples in the stands lively.

Ye Feng clenched his fists, his fists turned white, and he stared at his brother intently. "Brother, there are still three steps...... I'll wait for you ......"

Ye Yun squinted, his eyes had long been covered by sweat and blood. He could no longer see the scenery in front of him, only felt that he was climbing the mountain, and with instinctive instinct, he trembled and wanted to climb forward. The muscles of his whole body were twisted into twisted flowers, and even a trace of strength was beyond his control.

If the ninety-fifth order is a thousand-pound boulder, now it is simply a world of difference, and what is placed on oneself is really a big mountain.

"Am I really not qualified? Why can't others, but I can't? I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" Ye Yun was crazy, his lips trembled, and no one could hear his whispering at the moment.

No one noticed that in front of Ye Yun's chest, there was an ink-colored jade pendant that was only half of a heart, and the black light was not easy to detect. At first, the blood on Ye Yun's body would drip on the cloud ladder, and gradually the blood flowing from his body began to pour towards the jade pendant.

Everything was silent, even the elders of the Tianyun Sect who were obscuring Ye Yun in the shadows to observe Ye Yun had no way of discovering what was happening in him. The black light slowly emitted a soft light as it was infected with the blood, and as soon as it touched Ye Yun's skin, it disappeared.

The black light circulated in Ye Yun's body, nourishing the meridians and flesh and blood, and what was even more amazing was that the bones and internal organs that were damaged under the strong pressure were healed to a certain extent.

"This ......" Ye Yun naturally felt the changes in his body, and that black light poured into his body from the jade pendant on his chest, and the speed was getting faster and faster. He was originally a little desperate, but his eyes suddenly flashed.

"I don't know why those who can pass the assessment are not as miserable and embarrassed as me, could it be that I am born with this cloud ladder and have a rejection?" Soon Ye Yun denied this idea again, he didn't think how outstanding he was, and what could he do with the cloud ladder that Tianyun Sect had inherited for many years.

Someone in the stands exclaimed again, they were now dumbfounded, unable to understand why Ye Yun, who had run out of oil, could suddenly climb up, and what was even more unbelievable was that he was cloaked and rushed up two steps.

Ye Yun was crumbling, originally because of the black light flowing into his body, some of the accumulated power miraculously allowed him to break through the shackles and come to the ninety-eighth order. However, he was already at the end of his crossbow, staggering all over, and fell to the side.

At the moment when he finally fell, Ye Yunjunxiu's face was unwilling, with pain, and he fell out of the ladder, and the whole person rolled down the mountain like a ball.

People who originally had some expectations couldn't help but shake their heads now, there was no doubt that Ye Yun still failed in the third assessment, and he was destined to have no chance with the Tianyun Sect.

"Brother!" Ye Feng in the stands exclaimed, stretched his figure, and hurriedly swept towards the bottom of the mountain, wanting to catch Ye Yun.

"Alas......" Suddenly, a soft sigh sounded, and Ye Yun, who had rolled down the mountain, fell unconscious and flew back upside down. A figure appeared in front of everyone, and this figure stepped on auspicious clouds and floated out of the dust. On the clouds was a kind old man, looking at Ye Yun and Ye Feng brothers, he sighed helplessly.
