Volume 1 The Road to Enlightenment Chapter 8 The Princes' Court

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and in the past few days, Tianxuan has been accompanying Ying Ruoxi to play everywhere in Xuanwu City, and the two of them are under the willow trees by the lakeside, walking and playing together, chasing each other.

Time passed in a flash, and the princes' assembly was about to begin.

In the morning, before dawn, the city was already lit up, and there were many soldiers patrolling the city on the streets, going back and forth to maintain stability in the city, to ensure the order and safety of the meeting, and there would be no chaos, and the princes and their descendants of all countries gathered in this towering Xuanwu City that had stood for hundreds of years.

The significance of this alliance is unusual for the entire human race.

The major princes and kings came here from their own territories for two purposes, one of which was to discuss the current distribution of the territories of the major princely states and the promotion of the princes' official positions.

The second is that it is necessary to hold a ranking competition for the younger generation of the human race, so as to draw up the Tianjiao list of this young person, and the winner can put forward a request to the king of Zhou, and the scope of the request can be a foothold that can become an immortal, or it can be found from the largest arsenal of the human race to find a divine weapon, and even more can also mention the official position and fief to become a knight.

And now this time the alliance is a little different from the past, because the state of the Great Zhou Dynasty has gradually weakened, and among the major princes, there are gradually stronger princes such as the Chu State and the Jin State, which is an external disaster for the main vein of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It can only be said that this competition is fake, and it is true to detect the strength of the younger generation of various countries, and the conflict between the prince of Chu and the prince of Great Zhou not long ago is not without reason.

This competition will be composed of two parts, the first part of the content is to let the young monks and warriors of the world who want to participate in this competition enter the refining ladder together with the princes of the major princes.

Anyone who can take a hundred steps up the ladder is considered to have completed the first stage of the trial.

The second part is the core part of the competition, where those who have gone through 100 steps will be challenged by a lottery, and whoever wins can enter the next round of the competition, until the end of all the battles, ranked according to the number of victories.

The top of the list can get 10,000,000 taels of gold and silver, a pair of storage rings, a secret book of Great Zhou cultivation, and the title of Marquis of Shaoqing, and a request for the king of the same Zhou.

The second and third place can get 10,000 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver, and you can choose a treasure from the treasure house of the Great Zhou, and the rest will be rewarded.

The top ten all get a thousand taels of gold and silver, a high-grade weapon, and all the top 100 cultivators can be honored, this time the Terran Tianjiao List, this Tianjiao List will be a chance to change the life of the scattered cultivators, and it can be included by those peerless sects of the Human Race, so as to become famous all over the world.

Although the number of participants this time is the largest in the past, most of them are squeezed into the Tianjiao list.

Many people actually know that they don't get the first strength, so they try their best to get into the pride list that day, because as long as they enter the pride list that day, their name will be remembered by the world, which is not only a supreme glory for many people, but also a kind of recognition, from the two aspects of identity and strength, maybe it will be included in a certain sect.

As long as a casual cultivator enters the Tianjiao List, it can make those powerful princes and powerful sects pay attention, so that they can seek an official position there, or enter the sect and experience systematic cultivation.

There are also rumors that this year's Tianjiao list will be included in the heavenly court, and the Three Realms will pay attention to it.

The conference is held once every 100 years, and the top of the last Tianjiao list has now completed the catastrophe and achieved the realm of earth immortals, and it is also a generation of great power in the world, and was worshiped as a general by the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Terran competition held this time, no more, no less, is the eighth, the Terran since ancient times there are rumors that Zhou Wen Wang Ji Chang, pulling the cart Jiang Taigong hiked 800 times, so it can win the world for 800 years.

This eighth conference is also catering to the language of 800 years, so this time the competition will be extremely not simple, it will be the most difficult one since the previous eight times, the princes of the world are very concerned about the victory or defeat this time, and the princes and princes who may win may have the ability to get this world.

Therefore, the Great Zhou Emperor is extremely nervous, and if the general situation is extremely unstable today, the Great Zhou Dynasty is not safe inside and outside, there are dogs and rebels outside, and there are Chu and Jin princes inside.

Most of the casual cultivators and princes who participated in this competition are building foundations, but the cultivation time is different, the level of the realm is also different, and there are also a small number of casual cultivators of the congenital peak.

The foundation represents the starting point of the immortal road, and it is the harbor where the sail is set sail, so this refining ladder is only allowed to enter the monks who build the foundation, and the memory space of the refining ladder has been passed down from ancient times to the present, whether it has gone through the Xia and Shang dynasties, or the eight hundred years of the Zhou Dynasty, this refining ladder has always been a necessary thing for the human race to screen Tianjiao.

It is said that there are many treasures of ancient ancestors, and these treasures are also accompanied by great crises, and if you are lucky, you will not be in vain.

"The refining ladder is opened, and the time limit is one hour. A voice came from afar, and the door of a different dimensional space was opened, this was the entrance to the refining ladder, a passage to the other world.

After hearing that they could enter, countless immortal cultivators entered the shining immortal gate one after another.

"Let's go. Win Ruoxi took Tianxuan's hand, as if she was seeking Tianxuan's consent, now she was very nervous in her heart, her delicate face was tense, her mouth pursed and she looked a little pale, and she settled down when she saw Tianxuan's firm eyes.

"Good. Tianxuan said tightly holding the hand of the winner.

At the same time, he also took her towards the divine ladder, causing King Qin, who was sitting on the viewing platform, to open his eyes wide.

Win Ruoxi only completed the foundation building not long ago, and Tianxuan did not leave her three steps away in order to prevent her from being injured.

After entering the refining ladder, it can be described as magnificent, a head towards the sky, a huge ladder appears in front of you, exuding divine light in the air is extremely dazzling, this ladder is extremely magnificent, there are a total of ten layers, each layer is its own space, only after walking through ten steps, you can enter the next layer.

On the first layer of the divine ladder, there are many people who can't move forward, they are all monks who have not yet reached the foundation building period, and nearly thirty percent of the people will be eliminated here, Tianxuan looked at those monks, with a pressure on his face, Tianxuan can imagine that this trial is definitely not simple.

Tentatively, Tianxuan took the first step towards the first order in front of him, and at that time, he only felt that there was a force from the leyline, stretching out from the stairs to suppress his legs, preventing him from having a chance to move.

This feeling was just fleeting at Tianxuan's feet, and Tianxuan broke free very easily, and then step after step, and in a blink of an eye, he walked to the ninth order of this layer, and Win Ruoxi followed closely behind, and there was no pressure at all.

After Tianxuan waited to win and reached the ninth level, the two of them walked towards the second layer together, and there were many fewer people who stayed here compared to the first layer.

The next ten steps, every time you take a step, there will be the power of fire and wind, gushing out from the ladder, these forces will attract every monk, the wind and fire in the body, the flames in these bodies continue to rush out of the body, this power of wind and fire is that, the five calamities of heaven and man, now on this refining ladder I feel it first.

Maybe for ordinary monks, this flame is terrifying, but unfortunately, Tianxuan was trained by the Samadhi True Fire to develop the Fire God Body, these flames are just a little drizzle for him, and they can only become the nourishment for his Fire God Body, so for Tianxuan, these ten steps are very easy.

But if it is a pity to win, her face is pale, and she has been persevering, even though the flame is burning in her body, but her eyes are still full of unyielding strength.

Tianxuan looked back at her like this, this was really different from the appearance of a child not long ago, which made Tianxuan's heart tingle.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and walked the ten steps of the second layer with amazing perseverance.

But she also suffered serious internal injuries, the flames of the power of wind and fire, which originated from human cultivation, ignited in the weakest places, burning the heart and soul, and the physical damage was even more serious.

At the third level, at first, Tianxuan didn't want to win and didn't want to continue, but she still wanted to continue, wanting to try to see how many steps she could take in the end.

The test of this third layer is the attack of lightning, as long as every step is made, there will be a white divine thunder, falling from the sky, the power is very terrifying, many innate monks were hit by the divine thunder here and fainted, and they were directly teleported out of the divine ladder.

Tianxuan first tried it, felt the power of the divine thunder, knew how powerful the heavenly thunder was, and felt that it could be bearable, so he began to use this divine thunder to exercise the strength of the physical body.

Maybe it will hurt a little at first, but then it will only feel numb, and in the end, there will be no feeling, maybe the power of the divine thunder has not changed, and Tianxuan's body is constantly becoming stronger in the constant thunder and lightning.

If you win in this third layer, you only take two steps, and you can't bear the power of thunder and lightning.

Because she was injured by the power of wind and fire in the second layer in the front, resulting in serious internal injuries, and now she was struck by divine thunder and suffered external injuries, and the two were superimposed, and they immediately crumbled.

Seeing that the third divine thunder was about to fall, Ying Ruoxi was ready to be teleported out, and suddenly the divine thunder in front of him was blocked by a familiar figure, it was none other than Tianxuan.

Tianxuan had already walked to the top of the third layer, and it was a pity to pass the area of this divine thunder waiting to win, but when he saw that she was about to be hit by the divine thunder and fell off the divine ladder, he hurriedly jumped down from the top and stepped in front of her to help her block this thunderbolt.

"Why did you come down, you don't care about me, if it doesn't work, I'll go out, you go and get the qualification first. Ying Ruoxi looked at the man in front of her who blocked the divine thunder for her, and was looking at her affectionately, looking at his messy long hair, which was swaying in the air and hanging down to his back.

"Fool, I said I would protect you, I will never break my word, come and I will carry you, I will take you with me. Tianxuan looked at Ying Ruoxi's stupid appearance at the moment, looked at her eyes affectionately and said, and at the same time pulled Ying Ruoxi to his back, resisted the divine thunder with both hands, paced quickly, and walked towards the fourth layer.

The Divine Ladder seemed to sense Tianxuan's foul behavior, and seemed to be dissatisfied with this practice, and the Divine Ladder was extremely resistant, and strengthened the power of the thunder and lightning that Tianxuan had chopped away, from less to more, at first it was doubled and then directly strengthened to ten times.

Tianxuan didn't dare to make a big move on his back, so he had to stand on it, still using his hands to fight against the divine thunder that came from the air, the fire god's body was opened, and all the thunder and lightning entered the body of the fire god's body through Tianxuan's hands, and the violent lightning was forcibly used by Tianxuan to refine the body, because the power of the divine thunder was gradually strengthened exponentially, and Tianxuan actually forcibly adapted to this change in intensity.

The divine thunder area on the third layer took less than a few seconds to walk out, but these few seconds were between lightning and flint.

Next to the fourth layer, here is the most stagnant monks, the test here is from the water in the five elements, every step of the ladder here is extremely terrifying, the water of the ladder is extremely not simple, it is the divine water from the Tianhe River called drowning, even the immortals have to avoid three houses when they see it.

Tianxuan put Ruo Xi down, and after trying a few times alone, he had no choice but to fail, this drowning was extremely powerful, although it was diluted, but the power was not reduced by half a point, and the success rate of forcibly crossing was almost zero.

At this time, Ying Ruoxi summoned Tianxuan over, lay on Tianxuan's ear, and taught him a set of immortal-level tricks about the water element, Tianxuan guessed that this was most likely the secret of the Qin State.

Tianxuan sat on the ground and began to practice the exercises that Win Ruoxi said, there are how to control and restrain drowning in this exercise, Tianxuan learned as quickly as possible, and then experimented a few times alone, and after finding that it was feasible, he took the Win Ruoxi operation method, and quickly walked out of the drowning area using the method, because the space was very large, and those scattered cultivators on the side wanted to ask about it, but unfortunately they didn't have a chance.

"Let me tell you a secret, the trick I just taught you is the trick that our Qin royal family doesn't pass on to outsiders, and if you learn my trick, then I'll be your person." Win plucked up his courage, said to Tianxuan with a red cheek, and buried it in Tianxuan's body as soon as he finished speaking.

"Wow! Learn a set of immortal-level exercises, and actually give a beautiful daughter-in-law, then are you willing? Marry me. When Tianxuan said this sentence to Ying Ruoxi, at that moment, his heart beat rapidly, and the deer in his heart collided, although he was a human in two lives, he had never felt such a strange feeling.

"Yes. Win Ruoxi whispered in Tianxuan's ear.

The next fifth layer, for Tianxuan, is extremely simple, the assessment content is about the choice of the foundation of the immortal law, just like the college entrance examination in the previous life, the only difference is that if you make a mistake, you have to start over, this is not in the form of a ladder anymore, but a space formation, presumably if someone understands this formation, it will also become an extremely powerful person.

Although Tianxuan had not learned this, he was familiar with the Huang Ting Sutra given by Yuan Shi Tianzun, and he had long kept this concept of immortal law in mind, so there was no mistake.

When I was cracking the formation here, I was still in a projection mirror and saw the Great Prince of Daqin who was being chased by an elephant.

In this way, the first five floors are finished, and the back five floors, which are different from the front of the back, will not be able to continue to carry the victory on their backs.

These last five layers, most of them are about the direction of the path that each monk cultivates and chooses, everyone's path is different, and under the request of Tianxuan to win again in the end, Tianxuan had no choice but to let go of winning and start his own pursuit of the last five layers.
