Chapter 1 The Road to Heaven
While everyone was shocked by the news, Gao Chuan did not hesitate in the slightest
Stepping past the crowd onto the suspended platform, he was the first to step on the 'Heavenly Path' composed of smooth black metal and formations.
With no guardrails or stairs, the steep path is like a black line between two behemoths.
There was a strong wind blowing around, and below were endless snow clouds, Yujing hung high above the clouds, and a winter blizzard was brewing underneath itβalthough it couldn't, the unknown was even more terrifying.
And Gao Chuan walked forward step by step, his eyes were firm.
Even if there is a strong wind around you, but there is no place to borrow strength under your feet, what then?
He used his spiritual power to anchor himself to this smooth black metal, so that even if the slope was extremely steep, he would not be blown down and fall into the clouds.
As long as the strength is sufficient, these things are not a hindrance.
Walking without distractions, Gao Chuan's eyes were clear.
What is there to hesitate about? Whether it is an accident or some other reason, the assessment has now begun -- it is nothing more than a change of venue.
Now that the path of cultivating immortals is close at hand, what are those who are still not taking a step behind them hesitating? Afraid of this difficult and dangerous obstacle, hesitating and worrying about their own safety? Obviously, they are all people who have decided to reduce their life expectancy and become cultivators a long time ago, but they are still so indecisive and wavering.
It's ridiculous!
The road of cultivating immortals, there is no advance and no retreat, and cowards have no future!
A foot containing spiritual power stepped on this hard metal road, in order to better use spiritual power, Gao Chuan simply put away his shoes and walked barefoot.
He could feel that the road was unusually stable out of thin air, even if the passage was at the other end hundreds of meters away, and there was a high-altitude wind blowing in the middle, the black ramp did not tremble in the slightest.
You know, this is the road connecting the two hanging cities of Yujing and Fortress! If it weren't extremely stable, how could such a long road not have the slightest tremor?
Just when he sighed, he suddenly felt that something in his chest was heating and trembling - take out the Zhenyuan Order.
I saw that the token flickered with a faint aura, and its black appearance gradually changed, and finally turned into a name tag, on which was his own appearance.
"It's funny, I didn't expect it to have this kind of function. β
Eyes, thinking that it should be the preset change of the Zhenyuan Sect after the official start of the test, hanging it in front of him, Gao Chuan continued to walk towards the gate of this fortress step by step.
Although the road under his feet was unstaircased and unusually smooth, and there was a strong wind around him, if it was all there was, it would not stop him!
During this time, Gao Chuan had already walked a fifth of the distance, and in the eyes of those who were still on the suspended platform, he had become a black back.
β...... What are you waiting for, let's go!"
Those cultivators who were originally standing in the front row, but were robbed of the first place by Gao Chuan, after being stunned for a while, also reacted one by one and ran towards the suspended platform one by one.
They are not stupid and hesitant, but these people know more than Gao Chuan, so the gap between the fantasy and reality in their hearts is also wider, and the time it takes to react is a little longer, that is, Gao Chuan is ignorant and fearless, and he doesn't care about the meaning of this change at all - however, if you think about it carefully, it is nothing more than that the assessment venue is different from previous years, where is it worth being surprised?
Zhenyuan Sect has not played cards according to common sense over the years, and the only fixed assessment of the road to heaven is also a variety of changing styles, last time it was on the top of the mountains, this time it was above the sky, but it was a change of venue, what is it?
As for why they used the Floating Fortress, maybe it was a means for the Zhenyuan Sect to show their technical strength? Anyway, it had already happened, and it didn't matter why, anyway, the fact didn't matter to them - the goal of these cultivators was to enter the Zhenyuan Sect, and that's it, the deep meaning behind it didn't matter, at least it wasn't something they needed to consider.
The passage was crowded, and the path of this black metal structure was only enough for several people to walk side by side, which was quite narrow, and if there were really more than two people walking side by side, it would definitely interfere with each other, and then they would all be blown off the clouds.
In order to compete for the position, everyone crowded and pushed each other, although there would be no fight on the surface, but secretly there was an undercurrent of aura.
"Ahh
In the midst of the crowd, the two cultivators fell off the suspended platform and disappeared into the snow clouds, causing silence.
"Line up for me one by one! How can you rush forward like this?! The assessment content is passed, not a time limit!"
Several fourth-order cultivators who had gone stepped forward to calm the crowd a little, and a man in black in the lead said solemnly, "If you still want to pass this assessment, you can all come in order, one by one!"
Since there are people presiding, then everything is easy to say, the previous chaos is just because of a moment of urgency, all the people present are people who have practiced since childhood, although they seem a little impatient because most of them are young people, but as long as they calm down, no one will deliberately crowd and compete for positions.
This road to heaven will come again every time Zhenyuan Sect accepts people, every time it is regardless of time, as long as it passes, it is considered a success, it doesn't matter the order before and after, the front can not wait to pass the assessment as soon as possible, and the back can regulate the body and make their state to the next level.
However, it is strange to say, although the Zhenyuan Sect did not send many people in previous years, it would still get a Jin Dan or a few Jin Dan cultivators to preside over the assessment, but this time there was no one-although they were all in the fortress, but they did not appear.
As for the two people who fell into the clouds, after falling for a while, they were wrapped in a spiritual light and led to the ground.
In the middle of the air, there were several cultivators of the Xuan Rank, and they were just under the clouds, waiting for the cultivators who had fallen, protecting them from really dying by accident.
"Where's your jade plaque, bring it here, I'll check it." β
When the two fallen cultivators came to the ground, several people wearing armor and obviously Yujing guards stepped forward to ask.
After taking the jade plate of the two cultivators, it was a round light blue jade plate, with a little golden light flashing on it, and after testing it, he nodded and returned it, "There is no mark, you didn't fall because of the failure of the test, so you still have a chance, go back quickly, don't fall off because of an accident." β
"Thank you!"
Hearing this, the two cultivators couldn't help but feel a burst of joy, after all, after so many years of preparation, if they lost their qualifications because of an accident, they would definitely regret it for the rest of their lives.
The guards and young cultivators rushed to the audit office, and couldn't help but smile slightly, although he no longer had the opportunity to enter the big sect, he also hoped that these young disciples could realize their dreams.
The teammate beside him suddenly said with some curiosity, "Speaking of which, this Zhenyuan Sect Guangfa leads the jade card, and only those who get the jade card can participate in the assessment, but I heard that there is a level on this jade card, and I heard that only elite students and core members will have it, and they can be exempted from the written test, what is that called?"
"Zhenyuan Order, right?"
A little unsure, this guard was a little unsure, "Or is it the Zhentian Order? Anyway, these high-ranking old men like this kind of god, saint and something like that." β
"Oh?" suddenly came to his senses, and his teammates looked uplifted, "This name is really simple and straightforward...... Have you ever seen it? Handsome or not? You are very beautiful when you receive the jade card, and it is worth a lot of money. β
Hearing this, the guard couldn't help but look disdainful and said, "If I had that ability, it would not be such a simple soldier for a long time! β
β...... That's a shame. β
