On this day, the sun was shining and the sky was cloudless.

Dozens of messengers slowly descended from the clouds on huge cloud boats.

The people who signed up for the assessment waited outside the door early in the morning, only to see a luxurious cloud boat about a dozen acres long in the sky, slowly descending from the sky.

Several ushers were dressed in fluttering fairy clothes, looking down on all beings, like looking at ants.

After Yunzhou stabilized, several people did it together, turned their fingers into swords, and pointed at everyone: "Get up!"

Above the cloud boat, a blue band of light meandered out of thin air, like a cloud ladder, extending from the sky to the ground.

The people who participated in the comparison stepped on the ladder and climbed the stairs.

Xuan Qing stepped on the ladder in one step, only to feel that the feet were soft, but they were extremely thick, without a sense of drift. On Xuan Qing's shoulder was a blackbird, it was Wu Luan, and he walked towards Yunzhou step by step with a resolute expression.

After walking for almost a pillar of incense, he finally arrived at the cabin of the ladder, Xuan Qing looked down, and there were still people stepping on the ladder in an endless stream, slowly walking towards the cabin.

The wind was strong in the high places, and Xuan Qing's clothes were blown up, and he looked motionless towards the void.

When the last person stepped on the cloud boat, the cloud boat let out a roar, slowly started, and flew towards the main peak.

Xuan Qing looked down from the sky, and suddenly felt that everything was like an ant.

"It's far away. Feeling that the flight time was a little long, Xuan Qing looked at Xiao Wudao lightly.

Xiao Wu came to be a jack of all trades, and then explained:

"This is not to go to the main hall of the main peak, but to go directly to the competition venue. ”

"Hmm. ”

Xuan Qing nodded, only looked at the clouds around him, and stopped talking.

After a dozen breaths, the cloud boat slowly fell. The crowd walked down to the ground.

In front of you is a huge heavenly pool, a radius of thousands of zhang, the water of the pond is clear, the water depth is 100 zhang, the temperature of the pond water is very high, thousands of huge stone piers emerge on the water surface, and they are inserted directly on the water surface.

A huge stone stands on the edge of the pond, and it is impressively engraved with vermilion characters: "Jitian Pond".

A bold man came to the edge of the pool, looked down, only to see the pool water surging with heat, squeaking and steaming, and threw a stone down, which instantly turned into powder, and couldn't help but tremble when he saw this.

"Mom, the water in the pool is amazing. The man exclaimed.

"I don't understand, this water is bone-turning water, people and animals fall into it, and in an instant, there are no bones and slag. The person next to him said disdainfully.

Xuan Qing also listened to these words in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at the pool water, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Several ushers flew down from the cloud boat at this time.

Not long after, a man in Tsing Yi slowly fell from the sky, followed by two children.

The man fell from the clouds, raised his hand and summoned a huge square tripod, more than a zhang long and wide, and on top of the square tripod, there was a wrist-thick sandalwood stick.

The man in Tsing Yi walked over slowly, and the previous ushers bowed and saluted one after another, only to see him look calm and speak to everyone:

"Once the sandalwood is lit, the competition begins. In the pond, there are 10,000 stone piers, within a stick of incense, and those who walk smoothly along the stone piers to the opposite bank are considered to pass. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone sighed.

"I heard that the Tianchi is a smelting weapon, a mundane weapon, and it melts when it encounters water. ”

"If you fall, won't you die?"

"Surely death. Look at the pillars, the distance between each two is five feet, the height is staggered, and it is too difficult to pass smoothly in the time of one pillar of incense. ”

"Don't you come if you're afraid of death?" a sharp voice came discordantly, and everyone followed the voice, only to see a man standing with his chest crossed, it was leaving the sky.

There was a sudden silence, and everyone stopped talking.

"The water in this pool is so hot that once a person falls down, it turns into powder in an instant. This sect recruits apprentices this time, in a voluntary manner, if there are fears, it is too late to give up. ”

The man in Tsing Yi immediately looked at everyone, only to see that the applicants of the 10,000 or so people immediately separated by a third and leaned on the left hand side, which obviously meant that they wanted to give up, after all, the bone water was not a joke.

In the face of life and death, they chose to live, even if they can't become immortals, but they are at the age of youth, at least they can live this life happily.

Xuan Qing couldn't help but move his gaze to the sky, only to see that his eyes were burning, and there was no expression of wanting to give up, but a kind of excitement that was eager to try.

Presumably, this competition is hand-to-hand for him.

"Let's go!"

The tall sandalwood is lit and the race officially begins.

Xuan Qing glanced at the huge sandalwood, although it was relatively thick, but it burned at a speed that was not slow at all.

Everyone jumped onto the stone pillar one after another, and for a while they showed their magical powers, and they all rushed towards the opposite bank.

Xuan Qing was stunned, jumped on the first stake, stood firmly on one foot, and kept the other foot in the air - the stone pier was too small to allow only one foot to stand.

Xuan Qing immediately took a breath and secretly warned himself that he must be stable, this competition, not to seek ranking, but to pass alive.

He looked at the stone pier in front of him, jumped out three more steps, and after pausing at the fourth stone pier to stabilize his body, he searched for the next target to stay.

Tens of thousands of people compete at the same time, if two people jump to the same stone pier at the same time, one person must fall into the water, the difficulty can be imagined.

At this moment, a person next to him did not stand firmly, and fell backwards with a scream, and fell into the water with a thud, and his body just fell asleep, and in an instant, it turned into a cloud of white mist, making a squeak, and after a while, the pool water returned to calm.

Xuan Qing couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, if you want to pass alive, stability is the key. Tens of thousands of people jumped on the stone piles at the same time, and people kept planting them, and there were screams from their sides.

He didn't pick up the pace, but took every step steadily.

The pillar of incense was quickly half burned, and now there was only half the time left.

Xuan Qing's heart couldn't help but tighten, at this time, he had only stepped on a thousand stone piers, such a speed was too slow.

Xiao Wu spread his wings and urged at Xuan Qing's side:

"Master, hurry up!"

Xuan Qing gritted his teeth and quickened his pace, and quickly passed more than two thousand stone piles in one go.

After a while, he caught up with a figure, which was Sima Shang. I saw that he was light on tiptoe, jumping over the stone pier, and the speed was very fast.

Xuanqing belongs to the power type, and every time he takes a step, the stone pile must shake violently.

Seeing that, only half of the sandalwood was burned.

Xuan Qing knew that there was not much time left, so he mentioned his true qi, took a step forward, and was about to jump up, but he felt that someone was stepping on his feet and fixed his eyes

At first glance, it's Sima Shang!

Xuan Qing's heart sank: The two of them stepped on the same stone pile!

Sima Shang was about to turn around in fright, but there was no vacant stone pier next to him, and during this hesitation, his body could not stop in the air, and he slid down at great speed.

"Help!"

Xuan Qing's figure froze, and he held Sima Shang's arm.

It all happened in the light of light!

Xuan Qing gritted his teeth and snorted, looking at the stone piers around him, at this time, as long as the attention was distracted a little, both of them would fall.

He took a deep breath, raised his arm and lifted it hard, lifted Sima Shang up, and threw him on the stone stake not far away.

Sima Shang hurriedly stood firm, his face was pale and bloodless, and just between the mentions just now, he walked through the Ghost Gate.

If it weren't for Xuan Qing's rescue, he would be no different from the rest of the people who fell.

I was grateful, but time was pressing, and there were no words, and the two rushed forward.

Wow!

Xuanqing's footwork is getting more and more proficient, and he is walking faster and faster!

Every step is extremely steady, but the speed is getting faster and faster.

"Quick!" Xiao Wu urged.

There was only a little bit of sandalwood burning in his eyes, and he still had dozens of them that had not passed, so he breathed a sigh of relief and ran all the way over the stone pier.

When he landed firmly on the ground, the last smear of incense ash fell into the furnace.

He won!

Xuan Qing showed a look of joy, all his efforts were finally not in vain, he passed!!

"The hour has come. ”

The deacon ascended to preach, and the contest ended.

The people who competed celebrated each other, and the other side of the pond immediately erupted in cheers.

The deacon quickly counted the number of people, no more, no less, three hundred. The rest either gave up or fell into the water and died.

Each disciple who passed received a palm-sized bronze token, plus a copy of the Hundred Treasures.

"From now on, you are the registered disciples of the Qingyang Sect. ”

The crowd cheered again.

At this time, Sima Shang came to Xuanqing and said, "Just now, thank you for saving me." ”

Xuan Qing bowed his hand: "You don't have to be polite." ”

The black bird flickered its wings, stood on Xuan Qing's shoulder, and congratulated: "Great, master, you have finally become a registered disciple." ”

Xuan Qing smiled with relief and looked ahead.

A man in a green shirt rode the wind and stopped on a high platform. Several ushers bowed and saluted one after another, and everyone was also silent, not daring to make any noise.

The man paused for a moment and gave a faint order: "Those who quit the game halfway will be sent out of the mountain gate, and the rest will go back to the sect to rest." ”

The people next to him bowed down in response, and then a gray cloud floated over, sweeping away the group of people who withdrew from the competition, they looked at the sect and sighed, and some people cried bitterly, looking reluctant.

The cloud boat slowly opened, and everyone slowly stepped on the cloud boat.

Just as Xuan Qing was about to step on the cloud ladder, he heard a sound rippling around.

Following the prestige, it was the man in Tsing Yi.

"You stay!" the man in Tsing Yi shouted into the air at Xuan Qing.

Everyone looked at Xuanqing in unison, and at this time, the man in Tsing Yi jumped down from a high place and said to Xuanqing.

"You're Xuanqing?"

"Exactly. ”

"Dare to kill people in the territory of the sect, you kid is not small!"

Xuan Qing's eyes raised, and he didn't shirk it, in the end, they knew.

"My master has only killed his enemy, and it is pure self-defense. Even if it is the territory of the Qingyang Sect, do you want my master to wait to be killed?"

Xiao Wu was particularly unconvinced.

"It's not your right to speak!"

There was a kind of coercion in his voice invisibly, and he pressed it violently, and Xiao Wu's body trembled.

Feishan smiled awe-inspiringly, his eyes swept over Xuan Qing, and he smiled faintly.

"Disqualified!" said Tsing Yi.
