There aren't many steps up the ladder.

If you glance at it, you can see that it is only nine hundred and ninety-nine levels.

It can be a struggle for the average person to climb so many steps – imagine you walking up the stairs to 50 floors.

But for a practitioner, steps or something are completely trivial.

Even if you are a first-order cultivator, running with so many steps is like flying.

It's a pity that these cultivators on the field, not to mention the 1st order, even the 5th order, are like an old man, walking up slowly.

This was both out of prudence to save physical strength, but also because of the Dao Heart test brought about by the Heavenly Ladder.

Before this, no one knew what the so-called Dao Heart Test was.

Even Kong Jinting and Cao Bin, who have seen the relevant words in ancient books, know nothing about this.

After all, the ancient cultivation world has been destroyed for too long.

It has been so long that any Dao heart test has become a legend, and it only exists in the imagination.

But at this moment, all the cultivators who climbed the steps, whether they were sorcerers or fusion people, all experienced the feeling of being tested by the Dao Heart.

The first is the strong suppression of strength.

As long as the strength is lower than that of the former Zhang Immortal Master, he will be brutally suppressed.

Not only is the cultivation completely lost, but even the physical bonuses brought by the cultivation will be greatly weakened, as if he has really become an ordinary person.

However, this made no sense to Su Mo.

Because he is not only stronger than the people around him, but also stronger than that Zhang Immortal Master.

The so-called suppression is like a soap bubble covering him, and the slightest sneeze may burst.

In addition to the suppression of strength, after stepping on the stone steps of the Heavenly Ladder, every step will fall into a new illusion.

The illusions at the beginning are very rough, even the kind of full-screen mosaic, which is completely fooling people.

But the higher you go, the closer the illusion gets to reality, and the mosaic begins to take on a form and a face, as well as body temperature, heartbeat, and humidity.

After stepping up to the three hundred levels, the scenes in the illusion are incomparably delicately shaped, as if they are the real world.

Su Mo looked at the companions with sad or happy expressions, angry or painful, and poked their illusions with some curiosity, peeking at them from the side.

Jiang Mingyan got a little lamb, and she raised it for a whole year, until his father slaughtered the sheep and made a whole sheep banquet during the Chinese New Year.

Xu Sixue brought breakfast to the high school lesbian table for three months, until after the lesbian table transferred to another school, he transferred him to his girlfriend at a price of two hundred and fifty yuan, and Xu Sixue was very happy about this.

Han Yingzhen met three male classmates who were fighting on the side of the road with the dean because they climbed over the wall to go online, and Han Yingzhen, who knew that he wanted to put an end to violence, backhanded and reported the black Internet café to shut it down.

Zhou Jiantai was obsessed with martial arts to challenge the national martial arts gym, and threatened to write a straight character on his body if he lost, and two years later, a martial arts athlete looked at Zhou Jiantai lying on the ground, and really couldn't find a place to write.

Xu Anqi is finally no longer weak, healthy, can eat eight bowls of rice at a meal, and successfully won the runner-up of Qinghu City's big stomach king, and entered the anchor industry with this and became a popular food anchor.

……

After reading the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the people around him, Su Mo was finally able to appreciate the effect of illusions on their experience.

In general, these illusions are constructed with a certain memory, a certain regret or a certain hope as the background.

It is precisely because it is related to itself and so real that it is very easy for people to be immersed and unable to escape from it.

If you can't get rid of it, you naturally won't be able to continue climbing the ladder, let alone pass the Dao Heart test.

This trick is really high.

Even Su Mo had to admit it.

That Zhang Immortal Master may not be able to beat him, but he is definitely better than him.

And this mental test is not just a simple test, even if they can't pass the test, the trials they experience in the test will bring them a certain understanding, which will help them improve their understanding of themselves and the world.

It can be said that this is a gift from Immortal Master Zhang to the trialists.

Thinking of this, Su Mo couldn't help but look at his illusion.

He saw that the handmaiden had grown arms, bodies, and faces, like a beauty once in four thousand years.

"Nope! There's no way my hand girl looks like this! ”

Su Mo snapped and scattered the illusion.

Thinking of the scene just now, Su Mo only felt his scalp tingle.

The illusions were terrifying.

When his heart palpitated, he couldn't help but look at the illusions of others.

This time it's no longer a companion's.

He saw that Cao Bin had cultivated the peerless technique and turned into an attack giant, and roared wildly, "Who is as tall as me", and after thinking about it, Su Mo pinched a Ultraman Tiga and put it in.

Then I saw Kong Jinting buy a bag of dog food and say to someone, "Come here, Xiaobaibai", and then the elegant middle-aged man rushed up uncontrollably, and thirty-five words were deleted here.

Later, I saw Liu Ci standing in an ancient temple, his hands folded, and his face was calm and asked an ancient Buddha, "How can I get the Tao", the ancient Buddha suddenly came to life, and replied in a loud voice, "Only by saving others can we save ourselves", and Liu Ci, who had a little understanding, returned to the organization and planted the seal of the god of flowers for everyone.

……

Su Mo looked at the illusions of these people and was slightly touched.

Because he found that the goal of some people in the illusion had been achieved.

For example, Liu Ci, the president of the Flower God Association.

Maybe she hadn't visited the ancient Buddha before.

But the seal of the flower god, she was indeed planted on the body of everyone in the organization.

And this mark has made those people live and die with her unilaterally.

She died, others died, and others died, but she was unharmed.

Just thinking about it, someone on the field woke up from the illusion one after another and continued to move forward.

Although these illusions are very real, if you stay in them for a long time, you will always find flaws.

Maintaining so many illusions of different categories and different scenes, even if Immortal Master Zhang was alive, he would definitely feel extremely difficult.

Not to mention that he was already dead, and no matter how real the illusion here was, it couldn't last long.

Maybe Immortal Master Zhang already knew this, so there was a rule that every step would have an illusion.

Lack of quality is compensated for by quantity.

A mere illusion consumes only a little energy.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine, the pile can pile people to death.

When it came to the 500th step, the first person to give up appeared on the field, and unsurprisingly, it was Xu Anqi.

Jiang Mingyan looked at Xu Anqi, whose face was pale, and also stopped, because she understood that even if she went further, she would not be able to hold on for a few levels, so it was better to stay with her friends.

After another hundred steps, Xu Sixue suddenly stopped—he was trapped in a vision that the whole school was all girls except him, and he couldn't get out.

After another hundred steps, Liu Ci's two subordinates also stopped one after another.

After another hundred steps, Zhou Jiantai and a 4th order of the Sorcerer Alliance stopped at the same time.

So far, only Han Yingzhen, Su Mo, Cao Bin, Kong Jinting and Liu Ci are left on the field.

Su Mo looked at Han Yingzhen, and was only very surprised that the other party could hold on to this extent, didn't he see that the two envoys of the Warlock Alliance next to him were sweating profusely?

As everyone knows, in the eyes of those two patrols, they also feel that he is also a monster, and the third-order magician walked here without sweating at all, what is it if he is not a monster?

After another hundred steps, Han Ying really seemed to have reached the limit and finally stopped.

Only Su Mo knew that it was not that her spirit could not continue, but that her body could not hold on.

As for the rest of Cao Bin, Kong Jinting and Liu Ci, their legs are shaking.

At this moment, they simply don't have the energy to pay attention to other people.

All his energy was invested in the figure sitting at the finish line.

His body seemed to glow with so much light that he couldn't see his face clearly.

But everyone knows that as long as they reach the top, they can get the immortal master inheritance from him.

For a while, even if they were tired to death, even if they wanted to sit down and rest, the three of them gritted their teeth and continued to climb up.

Fifty more steps.

Cao Bin and Kong Jinting didn't even have the last bit of strength.

Although there are only 49 steps from the finish line, these 49 steps are like a moat, and they are out of reach.

They were aware of their own limits, and in order to avoid overloading, they sensibly chose to stay where they were.

In fact, in the current situation, there are very few people who can really resist the temptation like them.

From this point of view, they deserve to be the elite of the Sorcerer Alliance.

And Liu Ci on the other side has already reached the limit.

even reached the limit earlier than Cao Bin and Kong Jinting.

Arriving at her current position, she climbed up entirely on all fours.

Although the body is on the verge of collapse.

But the expression on her face was unimaginably fanatical.

It's like seeing a fanatic believer who believes in his heart.

The mouth shouted even more indistinctly:

“…… I want to become enlightened......"

“…… I want to become enlightened......"

“…… I want to become enlightened......"

However, even the limbs and the will have a limit.

After another thirty steps, Liu Cimei's red clothes were broken, her nails were turned open and the flesh was blurred, and there were clear blood marks on the steps behind her, but she couldn't even climb.

Her eyes were on fire, and she looked at the figure at the finish line, and shouted hoarsely:

"I finally have the opportunity to become enlightened, how can I stop in this place?!!

As the words fell, the two subordinates who were located at the seven hundred steps were instantly shattered.

A large mist of blood wrapped in the remains of the severed limbs swept over the long steps, and in the shocked eyes of many candidates, they were all sucked into Liu Ci's mouth.

Replenished by the abundance of energy, she seemed to have regained her strength, and crawled forward frantically, as fast as a lizard.

But the higher she goes, the more she is suppressed, the slower her speed becomes.

Eventually, she was as difficult to move forward as before.

At this moment, her body suddenly became shriveled, as if something terrifying was frantically robbing her of the essence in her body.

Then the shriveled skin pouch showed a crack like a balloon.

A fist-sized black fabric mouse suddenly popped out of her head and rushed forward desperately.

Finally there were only nine steps left before the finish line, and the rat stopped, crouching on the steps, still desperately stretching its cloth paws forward.

At this moment, a sigh came from the apex.

A mysterious light seal glowing with purple brilliance suddenly flung out from the apex.

In the stunned eyes of the cloth mouse, it fell on Su Mo, who was three steps behind it.

With the fall of the light seal, in an instant, the suppression on everyone in the ladder was lifted at the same time.

Immediately, a clear voice suddenly came from the apex:

"I have seen your efforts, maybe my test is too harsh for you, it is difficult for anyone to complete it at this moment of aura recovery, so I decided to give you another chance to arrange an additional trial, if you can pass this trial, regardless of race, regardless of Dao heart, you can obtain my inheritance, I hope you guard against arrogance and rashness, and forge ahead."

When the words of the void light figure fell, the eyes of the cloth rat suddenly burst into ecstasy.

Cao Bin, Kong Jinting and the others were also relieved, they finally arrived at their current position, no one wanted to be easily eliminated, it was rare that Zhang Xianshi had given another chance now, even if it was them, they couldn't help but feel very happy in their hearts.

At the moment, they took pills that could help restore their spirits, and seized the time to replenish their consumption in the third round of tests.

At the same time, Han Yingzhen, Xu Sixue and others all ran up and rushed to Su Mo's side.

And just as they arrived, the figure that was still wrapped in light so that it was difficult to see the face suddenly stretched out his hand.

In the next second, a battlefield of gunpowder smoke was immediately revealed under the ladder.

I saw that on the battlefield, a large group of strange-shaped and domineering demons were wreaking havoc everywhere.

Only a few soldiers in ancient armor struggled to resist the demons.

The front is precarious and can collapse at any moment.

There were even sharp-eyed demons who had seen a certain demon break through the soldiers' lines and go to the villages behind to slaughter.

Each claw can slap several villagers with farm tools to death, and each bite can swallow women and children who have no time to escape.

Screams, cries, and angry scolding kept coming from below.

No matter how cold and hard-hearted a person is, he can't help but be angry when he sees this scene.

In the light, the figure said coldly:

"In troubled times, there will be Taoist priests coming down the mountain, although my generation is dedicated to the Tao, but it is by no means a ruthless person.

Kill those demons, and the top three who kill the most will get the Zixiao True Seal and get my inheritance. ”

Hearing this, everyone on the field was ready to move.

Immediately, the black cloth mouse could no longer suppress its desire to seek the Tao, and suddenly pounced downward.

And at the moment when it flew into the air, a touch of qi pierced it on the spot, shattering into countless black smoke.

This upheaval shocked everyone on the field.

Everyone looked at Su Mo, who slowly withdrew his right hand.

Or confused.

Or unbelievable.

The figure in the light was also slightly sluggish.

Immediately, a voice with hidden anger came from it:

"Why?"

Su Mo smiled lightly, and asked instead of answering:

"I have doubts in my heart, and I also hope that the immortal master will clear my doubts."

"Why did you know about Reiki revival thousands of years ago?"

PS: I don't know what's going on, inexplicable angina, I'm trying to finish writing this......
