A few clouds floated in the sky, the sun was like fire, there was no figure in Tianshan City today, but another place was already in full swing, countless crowds shouted loudly, and countless traders shouted loudly.

"It's on! Father! The sect selection ceremony has begun!"

"I'm going to be the champion of this edition!"

"My force can definitely push the canon!"

......

Xiao Ming and Dong Chunyu walked slowly in the crowd, they looked curiously at the tall mountain peak and the faces of those wonderful warriors.

In the last two days, Dong Chunyu was very miserable by Xiao Ming, since Xiao Ming clarified his goal, he smelled the chicken and danced every day, and he also dragged Dong Chunyu up, which made Dong Chunyu cry out.

Finally it was time for the ceremony to begin, Dong Chunyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, I have to say that this scene is definitely the only one he has seen in his life, or rather, he has no chance to see it again, after all, this ceremony is very different from the past.

"Let's go get something to eat!" Xiao Ming pointed to a restaurant on the right.

The store was extremely shabby, apparently a makeshift restaurant that had just been built, and the merchants had worked tirelessly to make money.

"Hmm!" Dong Chunyu nodded, it was almost noon at this time, and it was time for lunch, and in order to avoid the original inn owner, they didn't dare to enter Tianshan City for two days, and they had nothing to eat, so they could only go hunting, but unfortunately, with the majesty of the innate on their bodies, any beast hid far away, and they simply lived a life where they couldn't take care of the last meal and the next meal.

"Do you know, I heard that even those mysterious ancient clans participated in this ceremony, tsk......"

"What! An ancient clan makes you sigh like this, I heard that there are people from the realm above the Innate Realm participating in this session, that's really amazing!"

"What? That's a legendary figure, a god who has stepped into the five eons of Mahayana! It's terrible, it's terrifying!"

"Alas, the qualifications of this year's young people are too high, is there a way out for those of us the day after tomorrow?"

As soon as he stepped into this small tavern, Xiao Ming heard countless sighs, this so-called ceremony almost determines a person's life, if it fails, it will be almost a lifetime of inaction; In the face of such a cruel world, there is a deep complexity in everyone's hearts.

Shaking their heads, Xiao Ming and Dong Chunyu silently walked to a table in the corner and sat down, facing Xiao Er's flattering smile, they ordered a few side dishes. Originally, they wanted to eat and drink once, but now they are in no mood, even if they have become innate, the pressure in the underworld is still deep, which shows how difficult this ceremony is.

After a long silence, Xiao Ming and the two sat and ate in a daze, and the aura of the entire hotel seemed a little depressed, perhaps sad, perhaps lonely, and sad.

They had eaten this meal for a long time, and the mood at the beginning was gone, and they were all absent-minded. Until I put down the chopsticks, there was still a lot of food on the table.

Checking out and going out, Xiao Ming raised his eyes and looked at the sky with only a few light clouds, maybe life is like this! It's really cruel! But as a human being, you have to accept it, even ...... Love.

......

"It's already too late!" Xiao Ming looked at the Tianshan Mountain in front of him, which was not high enough to see the top of the mountain.

It was already crowded with people, and the golden-white buildings in the sky were even more shining.

As soon as the words fell, the ground suddenly shook, and everyone's bodies shook, and the huge shaking force made people almost unsteady.

A huge golden circle appeared in the sky, and the circle revolved around the entire Tianshan Mountain, and I don't know where.

"It's on! It's on!"

Countless people shouted and roared, and tens of millions of people were whispering, and tens of millions of people raised their heads to look at the huge circle in the sky.

"Look! What's that?"

Countless brightly colored pillars of light rose from all around the Tianshan Mountain, and the eight huge bronze ancient chains were automatic without wind, and the sound of the clattering was like the chanting of gods and Buddhas.

The next moment, a loud bang carrying a circle of golden light spread out from the Heavenly Bell Gate, the sound was deafening, and everyone fell silent.

The heavenly bell rang again, and the 20-year world festival began.

"Boom-"

The heavenly bell rang again, this time the lights were hidden, and the sky turned into night from the center of the heavenly bell gate, pitch black, without a trace of starlight and moonlight, only a few thick nine-colored pillars of light between heaven and earth.

The huge majesty enveloped the entire Tianshan Mountains in an instant, and the 10,000-meter-high mountain finally revealed its true face, and a ladder of heaven that did not know how wide it was went up the mountain.

Suddenly, a majesty that had come from the Nine Heavens shook in everyone's hearts.

"The Great Ceremony of the Sect! Begin!" In the distant place, a grand and majestic voice sounded, and for a time tens of millions of people went crazy, and for a time the heavens and the earth were moved.

"All the young talents who have come from all over the mainland! Prove that your time has come! Climb this ladder! As long as you climb this ladder, you will be the pride of heaven and the pride of the mainland!" A huge voice echoed throughout the Tianshan Mountains, and an endless temptation sounded in everyone's heart, full of demagoguery and encouragement.

"For the future!"

"Ah! I am the pride of heaven!"

In an instant, everyone went crazy, everyone went crazy, everyone's saliva, everyone's sweat all gathered together. Tens of millions of people moved in unison and charged towards the wide ladder at the foot of the mountain that day.

Shouting arrogance, but exciting!

Shouting pride, but making people proud!

Countless heads are crowded together, countless front feet are stepping on the back feet of others, the shame of the past, the loss of the past, and the gloom of the past have all been left behind by them.

Their morale is high!

Their blood is boiling!

They're strong-blooded!

Creeds like "I am a genius" or "Genius is me" echoed in everyone's hearts like a magic sound, even Xiao Ming and the others were no exception.

It was just the power of a single sentence that made everyone break their heads and rush forward.

"Damn!Xiao Ming, wake me up quickly! If you don't wake up, you'll be brushed off!" Suddenly, the Void True Flame roared in Xiao Ming's heart, and his voice was like a scoop of cold water pouring down, and Xiao Ming's high enthusiasm disappeared all at once.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Ming didn't understand.

"Hehe, this test really has some doorways, you see!" Void True Yan motioned for Xiao Ming to look at the golden giant ** array.

Suddenly, the circle lit up.

"Damn! What's going on? What a strong gravity!" Many of the people in the crowd who had already rushed up the ladder couldn't keep their balance and fell to the ground, and the next moment, the golden light flashed on the ground, and the people disappeared!

A voice came from the sky again, "My mind is unstable, and the magic sound is in my brain, but I don't have any precautions in my habits, and I fail! I am out! I have not climbed a thousand steps, so I will be unqualified!"

"How so?"

"Oh my God! Isn't that a trick?"

......

After the cold voice, countless participants immediately complained of dissatisfaction, but the rules are like this, and they cannot be changed. Xiao Ming looked at all this, but there was already a cold sweat on his back, if it wasn't for the Void True Yan to remind him, I'm afraid he would be out, just now he was only one step away from that ladder, and the same was true of Dong Chunyu beside him.

Take a deep breath, now that you understand the rules, you naturally have to be prepared. As soon as he stepped out, Xiao Ming only felt that his body sank, as if something of more than a dozen catties suddenly pressed on his body, comparing the feeling before and after, if he was not prepared, it was really possible to lose his balance because of the suddenness.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming couldn't help but be a little happy, but he couldn't help but be a little more afraid. He took a slow step and climbed up slowly, he could feel the pressure rising, almost every time he went up the stone staircase, he could feel a trace of pressure rising. Especially at the tenth level, the pressure will rise sharply.

However, the weight of only a dozen catties is equivalent to nothing for him, an innate martial artist.

10th, 20th, 30th...... At this time, Xiao Ming finally felt a trace of pressure, and the pressure exerted by this magic circle was probably two hundred catties, Xiao Ming calculated in his heart. He and Dong Chunyu are already innate martial artists, and the pressure of two hundred catties is just enough to make them feel the weight, but if they change to a martial artist of the Nine Heavens of the Acquired Heaven, two hundred catties can definitely make them breathless, after all, the difference between the acquired and the innate is almost heaven and earth, one can perfectly use the strength of the body, and the other can only bear it to death.

Xiao Ming and the two glanced at each other, and I have to say that they were very lucky to be able to enter the innate nature.

The first thousand steps! Xiao Ming and the others have already completed the thousand steps, which is already considered a success, at least they can be admitted by a small first-level sect, and they are already different from the hundreds of millions of people on the mainland.

The thousandth step is very different, it is simply a huge platform, a full 500 square meters. Xiao Ming and the others are already the last people to come here, and there is almost no hope for the people behind.

This short 1,000-step staircase eliminated at least ninety percent of the participants, which shows that the ceremony is cruel.

"Welcome the seventy-three thousand, six hundred and twenty-nine, and thirty who have advanced to the thousandth step. Suddenly, a gray mist slowly wrapped and rose in front of Xiao Ming and the others, and finally turned into a kind old man.

"Are you?" asked Xiao Ming in surprise.

"Oh! Xiao Lao'er is naturally the examiner of this level, and he also has to tell you the rules, so that you don't make mistakes at that time. The old man turned around and was two feet away from Xiao Ming and the others.

Xiao Ming and the others glanced at each other and nodded, this sect selection ceremony is really not so simple.

"First of all, this ladder is called the ladder of the sky, and you may have discovered the way the gravity changes here through the ladder just now, so I won't say much about it here. The old man paused slightly, "Then I'll explain to you the rules of this ladder." ”

"There are a total of 10,000 steps in the ladder, each thousand steps corresponds to a different level, the losers in the first thousand steps are called eliminators, they have been eliminated, and the fate of the sect has been lost, after a thousand steps, every thousand steps will be admitted by a stronger sect, presumably you also know that the sect is divided into nine levels, that is to say, every thousand steps you will be valued by the higher level of the sect. Of course, if you pass all the ladders, you can only be admitted to the ninth-level sect, and if you want to be admitted to the Heavenly Bell Gate, then you will have to participate in other competitions, but, in my opinion, it is impossible for you. ”

"Old man, you ......" Hearing the old man's last words, Dong Chunyu was naturally very unhappy and waved his hand to fight, but Xiao Ming stopped him.

"Hehe, aren't you?, you two are just innate martial artists, and you've only just advanced!" the old man chuckled, his cloudy eyes a little indifferent.

Hearing this, Dong Chunyu's anger suddenly leaked, the old man was right, compared to those real geniuses, they were just the light of rice grains.

"Okay, time can't be delayed, there is a guard every thousand steps, and he is also a usher, and all you have to do is to survive three moves under my hands, who will come first!" the old man sighed, and without saying much, he directly took out his right palm alone, moved his right foot forward, and made a move.

Looking at the battle of the old man, Xiao Ming and the two glanced at each other, and the really difficult time finally came.
