Below the floating island of the Divine Mansion, the endless crowd stopped the hustle and bustle, and all eyes were focused on the high platform in the center of the square, and the eyes of millions of teenagers from the human realm who had traveled a long way were holding a longing for some kind of unknown. Elder Hinoki stood on the high platform, and his majestic aura always leaked inadvertently, just the right thing to make the emotions in the eyes of these teenagers even more eager. He knew what these ignorant teenagers were expecting, and he was looking forward to it all the time before.

"It is well known that the inner disciples of the Divine Mansion are the elites cultivated as divine cultivators. And to become the best in the spiritual cultivation, the quality of the soul is extremely demanding, so this first trial is to test the quality of your soul. According to the previous practice, this first trial should be tested by the deacon of my divine mansion, but considering its drawbacks, there will be some changes in the way it is examined this time. Hinoki said as he looked at the frenzied teenager below.

As soon as these words came out, many teenagers changed their faces, and the calm square was like a few stones thrown into the lake, causing layers of ripples and discussions.

A hint of an inexplicable sneer hung on the corner of Hinoki's mouth. The bigger a sect is, no matter how carefully managed, people's hearts are unpredictable, and there will always be several unstable factors. Some deacons accepted bribes and let unqualified disciples infiltrate the inner gate of the Divine Mansion, Ling Shenjue and the four elders had long been well aware, but due to the wide range of involvement, the reckless actions might affect the internal unity of the sect and give other major forces an opportunity, so it was delayed until now that they began to rectify it.

"Then, let's start now!" Elder Hinoki no longer bothered about the uncertain expressions of those obviously weak-hearted young men, and waved his hand, and a ball of green light flew out of his sleeve, rising against the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge jade arch bridge, with a loud bang, sitting in front of the high platform.

"This bridge, called the Soul Refining Bridge, is a magic weapon that is extremely close to the immortal weapon. Hinoki looked at the huge and simple arch bridge in front of him, a proud smile appeared in his eyes, and what he threw out casually were magic weapons close to immortal weapons, except for his Divine Mansion and a few major forces, there were really few people who could do it. "As for the effectiveness of this bridge, you will know later, and now you are free to try to cross this bridge, and whoever can walk across it all the way standing will pass it, or else it will be eliminated. ”

Hinoki's words made everyone quiet, and the quaint jade bridge in front of him turned out to be a magic weapon close to the immortal weapon of burning the sky and boiling the sea, and its power must be extremely terrifying, but it has not yet been shown for the time being. Since this bridge is called the Soul Refining Bridge, it must be related to the content of the first round of tests, which must be aimed at the utility of the soul. Thinking of the possible power of this seemingly ordinary jade bridge, no one dared to act rashly for a while, and it seemed that they were all waiting for the first person to eat the crab.

Time passed little by little, and Hinoki was not in a hurry, his hands were behind his back, and there was always a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, quietly looking at the crowd below who were about to move.

After about an hour, someone finally couldn't stand this depression, gritted his teeth, and walked towards the jade bridge. It was a stout young man in rough clothes, with an almost beastly wild air on him. Obviously, this is a young man who grew up in a poor rural area, hoping to get ahead in this opening ceremony.

Until the sturdy young man walked to the end of the jade bridge, the jade bridge didn't put half pressure on him, as if it was really just a very ordinary jade bridge...... But the sturdy young man did not relax for a moment, but his heart tightened a little, took a deep breath, and stepped onto the jade bridge with a resolute look of desperation. All eyes were on him, there was expectation, there was encouragement, but more was banter and ridicule.

"Boom-" As soon as the sturdy young man stepped on the jade bridge, his brain seemed to suddenly explode with a thunderclap, and he was suddenly a little delirious, the sea of consciousness shook violently, and his body began to shake. It took a long time for the young man to wake up from that muddy state, and he couldn't help but feel a little more afraid when he looked at the top of the jade bridge that still had dozens of steps to reach in front of him.

"Hey, you're leaving!"

"Coward, if you don't leave, get out, don't waste our time, we're still waiting!"

"Brother, hold on, you must go over!"

"It's just one step, won't it work?"

・・・・・・

When the crowd of 70 million began to coax, the noise was unimaginable, and the pressure brought by it was like a mountain, which made the sturdy boy breathless. There was a hint of madness in his eyes that he would become a benevolent if he didn't succeed, and he took another step forward, but this time, it was like stepping into an ice cave, the biting cold gave him the illusion that his entire body had become an ice sculpture, and even his thoughts had been frozen, no matter how he covered his body and kept rubbing, he couldn't stop the continuous invasion of the cold that pierced his soul. Like, in a second, I'm going to freeze to death here.

The sturdy boy has lost his ability to move under this bitter cold, but subconsciously, there is always a voice constantly reminding him to move forward, keep moving forward, even if he dies, he must maintain the posture of stepping forward. So, subconsciously, the sturdy boy took another step forward.

With this step, the deadly coldness disappeared in an instant, but it was followed by endless scorching heat, like falling from an ice cave into a sea of fire, and the illusion of being frozen turned into unbearable scorching, as if it was about to be burned to ashes. The sturdy boy who had had an experience did not hesitate any longer, and took another step forward with his subconscious feelings. Unexpectedly, the burning sensation disappeared immediately, and the stout young man felt as if he was carrying a small mountain on his back again, and the huge pressure made him want to crawl on the ground, as if there was a force in the darkness that kept telling him that as long as he crawled, this pressure would disappear and he would be freed. The stout boy ignored it, struggling to take a step, but the pressure on his body soared, as if from a small mountain to a giant peak, and the crazy oppressor Stout boy wanted to let him crush to pieces under this terrifying pressure. The stout young man let out a painful roar, clinging to the railing of the jade bridge to prevent himself from giving in under this tremendous pressure, and his legs couldn't help but tremble violently, as if he would collapse completely in the next moment.

"Poof-" The sturdy young man finally couldn't stand the terrifying pressure, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out, splashing on the jade bridge, which was extremely dazzling. The sturdy young man was immediately thrown away by a gentle force, and was immediately caught by the outer disciples on the side and taken down to receive free treatment from the Divine Mansion.

The helpless exit of the sturdy boy made the square sigh for a while, and everyone's eyes on the jade bridge changed, although I don't know what happened to the sturdy boy, but it is definitely not a simple matter.

With the first person to try, a large number of people in the square began to move closer to the jade bridge one after another, and walked towards the jade bridge. Most people were stunned by the sudden shock at the first step, and fell down in a daze, even if there were people who were lucky enough to pass the first step, most of them were defeated in the second and third steps, and after half a day in a blink of an eye, tens of thousands of people took the test, but none of them passed, and even the few who reached the step of the strong boy were only a handful, and the rest of the crowd was in a commotion, and I couldn't help but wonder if this level could be passed, or the gods were deliberately embarrassing everyone.

This is a thin young man dressed in black with a long stick on his back that attracts everyone's attention, and he is seen to take one, two, and three steps with ease, as if he is strolling leisurely, until at the fourth step, he pauses imperceptibly, and then continues to step forward, and the expression on his face does not fluctuate for a moment.

Tens of millions of people held their breath and stared at the black-clothed boy deadly, as if they were also beginning to expect the so-called miracle.
