Chapter 228: Admission Test
Climbing all the way, enjoying the magnificent scenery of Yunmeng Mountain, breathing the rich aura of Yunmeng Mountain, not only did not feel tired, but the more I walked, the more refreshed I felt.
He had been trekking in Yunmeng Mountain for two days in a row, but he didn't feel a trace of fatigue, Chen Zheng secretly praised Yunmeng Mountain as a blessed land, just the rich original qi and spiritual power in this air were many times richer than ordinary places, and it was definitely a holy place for martial artists to cultivate.
After crossing three peaks in a row, the undulating continuity suddenly ended, and a flat river with a radius of four or five miles appeared in sight. This is actually a wide valley, called Pingyun Valley, which is a buffer zone for ascending the mountain gate of Wentian Sect, and it is also a waiting area for Wentian Sect to recruit disciples this time.
At this moment, the Pingyun Valley was crowded with people, and the black pressure was like a black lake, and it was roughly estimated that there were about twenty or thirty thousand people. These people are all young elites from the three or four hundred empires of the Eastern Regions, and in their respective empires, they are definitely genius-level people with prominent status.
Looking at tens of thousands of genius-level figures, Chen Zheng suddenly felt a sense of insignificance, and his little cultivation strength might not even be considered a medium level in this black and oppressive crowd.
Moreover, the genius-level martial artists who want to join the Wentian Sect are only a part of the geniuses of the entire Eastern Regions, and the young genius martial artists of the entire Eastern Regions are probably far from knowing this number.
There are so many genius-level figures in one Eastern Regions, and the gifted genius-level figures in the vast Martial Continent and the boundless world are probably the number of Ganges sands, countless!
Among the countless young generation of geniuses, what kind of existence is he?
I'm afraid it's not even a fart!
The more I think about it, the more I feel that I am small, and I think of the moment when I am so small that I can be ignored. He suddenly understood that in this world, every martial artist is insignificant, at least every martial artist has grown up from insignificance, even those legendary powers that cover the sky with one hand have grown step by step from small ordinary martial artists.
It's not terrible to be small, it's terrible to not have the dream of becoming a great warrior!
Thinking of this, Chen Zheng's thoughts suddenly came to pass, and his heart was full of pride, he wanted to become a strong man, he wanted to rise strongly, he wanted to become a genius among geniuses, no one could stop him!
Only by competing with geniuses and fighting against the strong can you grow faster.
Looking at the young generation of geniuses in his eyes, he seemed to see the motivation for his own growth, and he secretly made up his mind that he must join the Wentian Sect! Learn from the strongest martial artists in the Eastern Regions, and compete with the most powerful geniuses in the Eastern Regions.
And at this moment, in the Pingyun Valley, I suddenly remembered the sound of the morning bell and the dusk drum, like a bronze bell Da Lu, shaking the grass, trees, mountains and rivers, and shaking everyone's eardrum.
"The entrance test is about to begin, all martial artists are ready!"
"The conditions that need to be met to participate in the test are: under the age of thirty, the original qi cultivation is above the earth martial realm or the soul power cultivation is above the second grade. ”
"The test item is to climb the Tianmen Cloud Ladder!"
"The only criterion for testing the pass is to climb the Cloud Sky Gate!"
The voice was deep and powerful, I don't know where it came from, it seemed to fall from the sky, and it seemed to come out of the ground, repeating the above words over and over again, so that every martial artist in the Pingyun Valley could hear it clearly.
There are no special requirements for taking the test, only restrictions on age and cultivation. Chen Zheng was very much in line with it, and he didn't have any doubts about it, but he was curious about the test items.
Climbing the Tianmen Cloud Ladder doesn't sound like it's difficult, even if this Tianmen Cloud Ladder is very steep and long, it's nothing more than climbing! There shouldn't be any difficulty for a martial artist who has cultivated to the strength of the Earth Martial Realm. But would the Heavenly Asking Sect, one of the four great Terran forces in the Eastern Regions, set up such a simple entrance test?
When pigs fly!
Chen Zheng immediately denied his naïve idea, he understood that if joining the Tianmen Sect was such a simple test, I am afraid that no martial artists would be eliminated, and all the martial artists in the Earth Martial Realm would be the disciples of the Tianzong Sect! He turned his head and asked Luo Fei beside him, "Luo Fei, how much do you know about this Tianmen Cloud Ladder test?"
Luo Fei had already prepared the answer, and before Chen Zheng's words fell, she had already begun to speak, "I heard my father say something, this Tianmen Cloud Ladder is definitely not an ordinary step! It is 0.99 meters high at each level, with a total of 18,999 steps, straight and steep, straight into the clouds, as if a cloud ladder leads straight to the Heavenly Gate!"
"What?!"
Listening to Luo Fei's words, Chen Zheng suddenly became a little calm, he thought that the Tianmen Cloud Ladder would be very steep and long, but he didn't expect it to be so steep and so long, 18,999 steps, each level is about one meter high, that is to say, this Tianmen Cloud Ladder is 18,999 meters high!
He instantly thought of Mount Everest in his previous life, but in front of the Tianmen Cloud Ladder, Mount Everest is probably no longer the world's highest peak, but a small hill!
Luo Fei motioned for Chen Zheng to look at the end of the Pingyun Valley, where the misty clouds and mist covered the heaven and the earth and blocked the vision, and then said: "The Tianmen Cloud Ladder is also called the Eighteen Plates of Wentian, which is divided into three layers: 'Xuanbing Eighteen', 'Hellfire Eighteen', and 'Ice and Fire Double and Eighteen', each with different formations to test the climbing warriors. ”
"Ask the Eighteen Plates of the Heavens!" After listening to Luo Fei's words, Chen Zheng had a preliminary understanding of the Tianmen Cloud Ladder, it turned out that this test was really not a simple test, it was a mystery! "Where is this Eighteen Plates of Asking Heaven! It should be called the Eighteen Layers of Hell, right! I don't know how powerful these formations are?"
"I don't know. Luo Fei shook his head and said, "Those who clearly know the power of each formation must be the martial artists who have completed the Tianmen Cloud Ladder, and they are now disciples of the Heavenly Sect!
"That's right!" Chen Zheng agreed with Luo Fei's statement, a martial artist who came to participate in the Wentian Sect test five years ago or ten years ago but did not pass guò must have stopped on a certain step and did not walk up the Heavenly Gate, so naturally he did not go through all the formations.
Although these martial artists who had participated in the test before had some experience, they were still not clear about the steps they had not walked.
Therefore, this test is relatively fair, and neither novices nor veterans have any experience in clearing the level.
"Test begins!"
Just as Chen Zheng was thinking, a deep voice sounded between the surrounding heaven and earth, like a roaring cow, waking him up from his contemplation.
Immediately afterwards, I didn't see the wind rising, but I saw the mist at the end of the Pingyun Valley, as if it was blown away by the breeze, drifting and wandering, disappearing between the mountains, rivers and grasses.
"Wow!"
The exclamation of admiration filled the entire valley in an instant.
A huge black mountain, as if the ancient beast appeared in everyone's sight, strange stones like scales, vicissitudes of ancient forests, the ancient wilderness breath filled the entire heaven and earth in an instant, making people instantly produce a sense of humility and insignificance like ants.
This mountain officially asks where the mountain gate of Tianzong is, the name is called the opening of the heavenly peak, straight into the sky, you can't see the top of the mountain at all, the majestic is like the god of opening the heavens and the earth, and it is unattainable.
A white horse, hanging straight down from the Open Heaven Peak, is the Tianmen Cloud Ladder for this test.
Although Chen Zheng had already learned from Luo Fei's mouth that the Tianmen Cloud Ladder was nearly 20,000 meters high, he was still deeply shocked when he saw its true face.
This Tianmen Cloud Ladder is simply beyond the power of man, it is simply a masterpiece of nature, as if the Milky Way is tilting down, implying the rules of the stars in the universe.
The Tianmen Cloud Ladder really lives up to its name, and it really has a sky-high momentum that connects to the Heavenly Gate.
In the next moment, a huge wall of light appeared at the junction between the Tianmen Cloud Ladder and the Pingyun Valley, cutting off the passage between the Pingyun Mountains and the Tianmen Cloud Ladder. Ninety-nine turquoise circles bloom in turn, like flowers blooming on the wall of light, and the arrangement in a row is extremely spectacular. In the circle of light, the light circulated to form ninety-nine vortices, and the flowers turned into ninety-nine demonic beast pupils in the blink of an eye, exuding a strange aura.
Ninety-nine apertures, the entrance to the entrance test, all the martial artists who participated in the test, only through any of the apertures can walk up the Tianmen Cloud Ladder.
"Poof!"
A warrior about twenty years old, walked towards one of the apertures with his head held high, followed the wall of light, and walked proudly towards the Tianmen Cloud Ladder.
With the first person to eat the crab, the other warriors also immediately took action, scrambling towards the aperture.
However, not every warrior can follow the aperture, and a considerable number of them are blocked out of the aperture. These people are either over thirty years old, or they have not reached the realm of cultivation and martial arts.
It seems that it is impossible to get by in the dark!
Chen Zheng was mixed in the middle of the crowd, and he was not in a hurry to pass through the aperture, looking at the dejected warriors who were screened by the strange aperture, and secretly wondered in his heart, what kind of formation these apertures were, they actually had such a strange function, and they could accurately judge the age and cultivation of the martial artists in the blink of an eye, which was comparable to a psychic treasure.
The four super strengths of the Eastern Regions Terran are really not covered, and a small formation casually has such magical powers, which shows that the capable are like clouds and have a profound heritage.
As more and more martial artists pass through the aperture, there are fewer and fewer martial artists in Pingyun Valley, but what makes Chen Zheng strange is that the Tianmen Cloud Ladder, which does not seem to be wide, is not crowded at all, and tens of thousands of martial artists are scattered on the Tianmen Cloud Ladder smaller than ants.
Chen Zheng and Luo Fei were ready to start the test, but before the test, they had to do one thing, and that was to arrange a place for the royal guards who followed them.
The cultivation strength of these royal guards has not reached the Earth Martial Realm, so naturally they cannot pass the guò test and enter the Wentian Sect. Chen Zheng discussed with Luo Fei for a while, and decided to let them break up into pieces, disperse among the groups of martial artists who were not qualified to participate in the test, avoid the stalkers of the Chen family's royal family, and quietly descend the mountain and return to the Tianfeng Country.
First, he could tell Emperor Luo Jun about Luo Fei's whereabouts, and second, he could help Chen Zheng send a message to Dong Qianhan and help take care of his father and the Chen family in Sunrise City.
After the royal guards dispersed, Chen Zheng and Luo Fei walked towards the wall of light, followed the circle of light, glanced at each other, and walked towards the Tianmen Cloud Ladder. R1058
