Chapter 18: The Cruel World
"Hehe, I'm the first, I'm going to hold the sky with one hand today!"
The ladder in front of Luo Tong, the first in line was a little fat man with a relatively round figure, his eyes showed the light of ambition, he was gearing up, and walked to the ladder cleanly, taking the first step without dragging the mud and water.
Stepping on the eight-inch and eight-size boots, the ladder like a jade cast suddenly glowed with a faint light, and the little fat man easily took the first step, his expression was extremely relaxed, and he didn't feel any pressure at all.
The smile on his face intensified, and he stepped out again, walked up the second step, and suddenly felt that there was an extra pig of 1,800 catties on his shoulder, and the pressure increased greatly, but the little fat man gritted his teeth, stiffened his head, and soon re-stepped to the third step.
At this moment, the smile on the little fat man's face disappeared instantly, he seemed to be pressed by a mountain on the cervical vertebrae at the moment, and the fourth staircase was like an invisible wall blocking it, he tried his best to take another step, but unfortunately he still failed, and finally he could only turn around and walk down the ladder with unwillingness, and leave gloomily.
Seeing this situation, Luo Tong was expressionless, and said: "Three steps up the ladder to the sky, wasteland talent, no qualification to advance to the Quenching Blood Realm, next."
"One hand to the sky?"
"Three steps to a real man!"
Seeing the lonely back of the little fat man, a sneer suddenly erupted in the crowd, sometimes in some scenes with many people, don't be arrogant and talk about thousands of words, don't flash your tongue.
However, the vast majority of people do not laugh, those who insult others, people are always humiliated, and before everything is a foregone conclusion, they wantonly laugh at others, and maybe, they will be ridiculed by the people behind them when it is their turn.
"This year's eighteenth, the road to the clouds, standing like a minion......"
Hearing the laughter of sarcastic himself, the little fat man clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were firm, as if he couldn't beat Xiao Qiang, the more frustrated he became, the more courageous he became, he swore with tears in his eyes, he must let everyone here see him in the future!
"Seven steps up the ladder, unqualified, next."
"Ten Steps, Next ......"
"Next ......"
The ladder to heaven was in full swing, hundreds of people in a row, none of them were able to walk through the twentieth step, and the farthest one also stopped at the eighteenth floor, as the ten disciples of the Wuji Sect opened their mouths again and again, their voices were already a little indifferent, and the people behind them became more and more worried.
"Liu Changkong!"
Just when everyone was depressed, the appearance of a young man attracted the attention of many people, it was the only son of the head of the Liu family of the four major families in Gusu City, and when he broke through the body refining realm, he caused a lot of visions.
Zhou Mou has also heard of this person, it is said that this Liu Changkong had early wisdom in his early years, wrote poetry at the age of seven, painted at the age of nine, and his cultivation talent is definitely not simple.
Liu Changkong came to the ladder to the sky, he was emaciated, but his eyes were unwavering, he took more than ten steps in a row, he didn't even need to take a breath, and soon broke through the twenty-step mark, which made Luo Tong and other Wuji Sect disciples feel refreshed, revealing very expectant eyes.
Twenty-five steps, thirty-five steps, forty-five steps, the sparkling waves on the ladder seemed to shine on his extraordinary.
After walking fifty-two steps, Liu Changkong's face was red, and he gasped for breath, and finally couldn't walk anymore.
Roar, Wuhu!
At this moment, the ladder where Liu Changkong was located emitted a dragon groan, and on the one hundred and eighth steps, a real dragon phantom slowly appeared, and the whole body exuded a dazzling white light, looking at the dragon body, as if it was made of sterling silver.
"Silver steel, yes, finally a worthy future junior brother."
The disciple of Wuji Sect showed a look of relief, after being busy for so long, he finally saw a good seedling, "You hold this token, it is the certificate of the next second stage, drop your own blood on the top of the token, it will be connected to your heart, even if it is taken away, you can't pretend to be your identity." ”
"Thank you, brother!"
Liu Changkong was overjoyed, and after taking the token, he cut his finger on the spot, dripped a drop of blood onto the wordless token, and then walked to the side with a smile on his face, and continued to observe the people who had not yet cleared the customs.
The qualifications are divided into five grades, wasteland, green iron, silver steel, purple gold, and finally the holy soul, among which the wasteland is the second, it is the mortal physique, even if you embark on the path of cultivation, you will refine the body at most nine times, and reach the realm of the Great Perfection, throughout the ages, almost no one can break this shackle and advance to the next realm.
And the gifted holy soul is the most of them, and the cultivation path can be called a thousand miles in a day, and it is a treasure of every sect's power, and it is even cultivated as a successor.
After Liu Changkong, many people broke through the more than 20-step barrier and successfully met the assessment requirements of the Wuji Sect.
Soon, it was Zhou Mou's turn to be the three of them, Xiang Yunfei was in front, his face was calm and calm, one hand was clenched into a fist behind him, and he walked up slowly.
Xiang Yunfei walked with a tiger's step, his steps were extremely light, and he walked to the top of the forty steps in a moment, and he didn't even see the slightest fatigue, and soon surpassed Liu Changkong, and came all the way to the sixty-fifth step, which made him feel a little difficult, but he could continue to go up, but his steps were not so steady.
In the end, at the eighty-first level, Xiang Yunfei stopped, sweating profusely, gasping heavily, and did not continue to try, he knew that this was already the limit, and it seemed that the qualification of this thing would not increase with age.
Roar!
The ladder to the sky flashed with purple light, brilliant and gorgeous, a purple true dragon phantom appeared, and thousands of lights shone on Xiang Yunfei's body, showing that he was extremely noble.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Luo Tong suddenly appeared with a smile, this is the first time he has laughed since this morning, tens of thousands of people have been eliminated, the result is a little unsatisfactory, and now there is finally someone who can make a difference, if not, he doesn't know how to go back and explain.
After Xiang Yunfei, it was Zhou Mou's turn to play, the crossing man is a decent person, even if he doesn't pass, he must maintain his bearing, and leave the scene in a chic manner, of course, decency is decent, like the little fat man's uninhibited words at the beginning, he is absolutely unspeakable.
Brushing his hair, Zhou Mou went directly to his feet, climbed the first step of the ladder, it was really like walking on the stairs, he didn't feel anything, he didn't feel any pressure after four or five steps in a row, and climbed the ten steps, just felt some air resistance, so he rode the wind and waves all the way.
"It's starting to get heavier......"
When he walked to the twentieth floor, Zhou Mou gradually felt the pressure, as if he had two pigs pressed on his shoulders, but his footsteps did not stop at all, and he continued to walk up and out of the road to heaven!
But at the same time, he was also relieved, he could walk more than twenty steps, which showed that he was not a wasteland qualification, God didn't kick him as a dog, let alone a person who crossed over from another world to another world, became an ordinary earth dog, and finally became an immortal sect.
According to Zhou Mou's observation, those below twenty-five steps have no cultivation talent, between twenty-six and fifty steps is the Qingtie qualification, fifty-one to seventy-five steps is the capital of silver steel, and above seventy-six steps is the purple gold qualification, as for Jiang Xinyan's talent holy soul, Zhou Mou does not know, but the preliminary guess should be above one hundred steps.
Thirty steps, when stepping on this ladder, countless faint points of light converged under his feet, and they all submerged into Zhou Mou's body, he shook all over, Zhou Tianhai flashed with spiritual light, and it exploded more than twice in an instant, and the entire Zhou Tianhai was also more and more condensed, not as virtual as before.
"Is this what the ladder really does?"
Zhou Mou was in high spirits, and immediately felt that he had almost inexhaustible strength, and the pressure on his body had decreased by half, such a change could only be noticed by himself, no wonder Fang Cai had not yet seen his turn at all.
Thirty steps, forty steps......
The pressure on Zhou Mou's shoulders subsided, his steps were light, and he took another twenty steps in a moment.
"It's not enough, forty steps is just a Qingtie qualification."
Zhou Mou gritted his teeth and continued to move forward under pressure, although his steps staggered, he could continue to walk, every step he took, there seemed to be two more bags of cement on his shoulders, and when the manpower was finally exhausted, no matter how much strength he had, he could not always carry the pressure of the invisible everything.
Climbing the fifty-step mark with difficulty, Zhou Mou only felt that the bones in his body were about to fall apart, and he continued to walk five steps, his whole body was shaky, as if he was about to fall down the ladder of climbing the sky in the next moment.
"Limited......"
Zhou Mou was almost out of emptiness, knowing that it was useless to insist on it, so he immediately turned around and walked down.
A silver true dragon slowly emerged, letting out a deafening roar, and the silvery white light shone brightly, proving to everyone its qualifications, and nothing more helplessness.
This is the cruelty of the world, Zhou Mou's silver steel qualifications are quite good, there are more than 80,000 people here, and nearly 50,000 people have participated in the road to the clouds.
Zhou Mou shook his head, his qualifications are innate, and it is useless not to accept it, "This may be the helplessness of life, but it is also the charm of life." ”
"It's not bad, keep up the good work, Wuji Sect is looking forward to your joining, junior brother." Ming Xue, a disciple of the Wuji Sect, smiled slightly and took out a silver token with small and exquisite workmanship.
"Thank you, senior sister."
Zhou Mou took the token, saluted the other party, and then walked to Xiang Yunfei's side, and next, it was Xiao Nizi's stage.
Jiang Xinyan stared at Zhou Mou, then Qiong's nose tilted slightly, and she took a deep breath, like a dusty green lotus, otherworldly, and ethereal.
"Go ahead, your future path will be very exciting."
Zhou Mou nodded and smiled.
The gifted holy soul, as soon as the body is refined, it triggers the vision of heaven and earth, the phoenix cries for nine days, and the golden pillar of light can be seen for hundreds of miles, and even alarms the five elders of the Wuji Sect, and even the Wuji Sect Master is attracted to appear, which can be called amazing.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Xinyan no longer hesitated, came to the ladder and gently moved her steps.
Many people were attracted to the gaze, Jiang Xinyan's appearance was light and elegant, three thousand green silks were like a waterfall, and her posture was graceful, all of them were at the age of strength and strength, and the slim girl naturally made many teenagers fall in love, so they couldn't help but take a few more looks.
"Thirty steps."
A young man who had not yet taken his turn hummed, and the ethereal girl who had climbed the ladder had already walked more than thirty steps, and she was walking on the ground, and she didn't see any pressure at all.
"Fifty steps."
Luo Tong and Ming Xue glanced at each other, and they both saw the different colors in each other's eyes, it was too relaxed, it was no different from walking, even Xiang Yunfei, who had walked the farthest so farthest, was not so easy when he walked fifty steps, at least his steps were a little staggering.
"Could it be?!" Ming Xue was a little surprised.
Luo Tong shook his head, although there was still a glimmer of hope in his eyes, he still said: "It's a little unlikely, what kind of character is hard to find in nine days, as soon as he was born, he was accompanied by a vision of heaven and earth, and he was already deduced by his fate and included in the door, and it is basically impossible for someone who is still living abroad at such an age to be such a peerless qualification."
"More than seventy steps!"
Just as the two were talking, the crowd in front of them erupted in exclamation, this girl is simply like her face, she is unique in ten thousand, and she is extraordinary.
