Generally speaking, the higher the stone steps on the ladder, the stronger the disciple's spiritual strength, the more durable the perseverance, the greater the likelihood of successful cultivation, and the higher the expected achievements in the future, so this test was also set as the second round of selection tests by the Liangyi Sect.

In the past, the disciples of the various sects who climbed the Cloud Ladder, whether or not they could meet the selection requirements of the Liangyi Sect, as long as they had climbed more than thirty Heavenly Steps, they would all be cultivated by each sect.

And the top 500 people who climbed the cloud ladder this time can enter the final round of the Liangyi Sect's test, and a total of 5,000 disciples, the Liangyi Sect has to eliminate ninety percent of the candidates, so this round of testing is not difficult.

In the past, the record of climbing the eighty steps of the cloud ladder was created by a high-ranking and powerful elder of the Liangyi Sect now, and now it is a full fifteen hundred, and no one has been able to break it.

But this is also an opportunity for all young disciples, how many steps can be climbed, it is all up to them, and the final result is also very fair, how many steps you can climb, the results are there, everyone is watching, so it is very fair, for this, everyone also attaches great importance to this opportunity.

Even if they were not selected by the Liangyi Sect in the end, having this experience of climbing the cloud ladder was a precious experience for these disciples, and it would also have immeasurable benefits for their cultivation in the future.

Even the high-level leaders of the various sects who did not participate in the test were not willing to miss this opportunity to inspect their disciples, and to know the spiritual perseverance values of their own disciples, it would also be convenient to prescribe the right medicine when cultivating them in the future.

You must know that although these disciples are not necessarily selected by the Liangyi faction, they are the hope of each sect and its own sect in the future, and each sect attaches great importance to it.

At this moment, the eyes of everyone present were focused on the stone steps looming in the clouds and mist in front of them, but they saw that the stone steps were full of white gas, and the clouds and mist were continuous, like a road to the fairy world, and I don't know who used the word cloud ladder to describe this place, which is simply too appropriate.

The disciples of the various sects in front of them had already begun to gear up at this time, bending down and pressing their legs, and began the warm-up activities they were preparing for.

Among them, there were several young cultivators who were very active, who were already planning to show off their skills on the ladder and attract everyone's attention, and their faces all had a very conceited look.

Zhang Xiaomai often has some expectations in his heart, wondering what will happen around him when he climbs this cloud ladder.

I don't know why, since I arrived here, the eyes of He Jian, the senior brother of the Flying Dragon Gate, have been staring in his direction, and he seems to have some doubts.

It's just that Zhang Xiaomai stared at this He Jian fiercely in his heart, and then ignored him at all.

After a while, the three Venerables in mid-air had also arrived at the scene, still invisible, and they had done a good job of cleaning up the test disciples.

The test disciple immediately announced that the second round of testing had begun.

After a few moments, the stone steps began to glow brightly, and a powerful aura fluctuation began to spread around them.

Looking at this scene, the faces of all the young disciples present became solemn.

The sect that was tested first was still the one that was the first to appear when testing the spiritual root, and now after the first round of testing, they only had two disciples left, one water spirit root and one earth spirit root.

The first one to go up was the disciple of the Shui Linggen, he had the strength of the middle stage of foundation building, and among the five thousand disciples who participated in the test, he was considered to be in a relatively low position.

But seeing that he was full of confidence at the beginning, after gritting his teeth and stepping up the steps, he immediately began to become flustered, seeing him slowly take ten steps on the steps, although he went up, but his steps began to slowly become soft, and the whole person swayed.

Immediately after going up to the tenth level, the disciple could no longer support it, and fell down violently, but then a cloud like a solid cloud immediately rose on the cloud ladder, carefully caught the disciple, and sent him down safely.

And that disciple had been unconscious and asleep since he fell, unable to notice the eyes of everyone around him at all.

"Don't bother him, he's just been through a mental grind and needs a good rest. The elder in the gate said.

"Wang Yushan, level 20!"

Level 20, this result should not be bad, the elders of that sect also participated in the last selection, and his face suddenly soothed.

The next moment, everyone, including him, focused their eyes on the second disciple who had climbed the cloud ladder.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaomai was also very curious about what the disciple saw on this cloud ladder and asked Qian Wuyang, "The master of the real person, but I don't know what kind of reputation this cloud ladder is, that disciple actually fell down after going up the twentieth level?"

"Twenty levels is not bad, in the last selection of the Liangyi Sect, most of the disciples also climbed to the fifteenth or sixteenth level. Sect Leader Qian Wuyang sighed.

"This ladder climbing, the test is the spiritual perseverance of the disciples, the stronger the disciples, the stronger the things they see, the greater the stimulation and sharpening of the spirit, but to ask what each person sees when they go up, then I am afraid that there is no conclusion, but the formation reflects different images according to each person's situation. ”

The head of Qianwu Yang instructed, "However, Xiaomai, you only need to remember one thing, that is, what you see is fake, you just need to take a step upward." ”

Zhang Xiaomai nodded slowly, but there were some doubts in his heart, if it was as the head of the sect said, it was impossible for the first disciple to fall down after only ascending the twentieth level, there must be some problems in this.

The second young disciple also collapsed at the eighteenth level...... Everyone suddenly burst into discussions.

"It seems that the perseverance and quality of this year's disciples are much better than the previous disciples, I remember that when the last batch of disciples was selected, the first few were only seven or eight levels. ”

"It's hard to say, to say that this ladder doesn't rely on the strength of the disciples. ”

...... While everyone was talking, a young disciple also began the test of climbing the ladder.

Fortunately, this test was not much slower than the previous Spirit Root test, and after a while, the results of the Seven Star Gate came out.

Bai Yujing, who had high hopes from Li Shenhe, the elder of the Seven Star Gate, successfully climbed the seventy-step steps, but collapsed at the place where he was about to move towards the seventy-first step.

This result is already quite good, at least so far, ranking first among all the disciples who have been tested.

Elder Li Shenhe's face couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction.

As for the other disciples of the Seven Star Sect, most of them fell down on the fifteenth or sixteenth steps, and Elder Li Shenhe didn't care about this, after all, these disciples, he didn't have much hope for them in his heart, he just brought them here to practice.

It's just that Elder Li Shenhe of the Seven Star Gate hasn't been happy for long, and immediately after, a female disciple named Ni Shang Sect below actually climbed the seventy-second step of the cloud ladder in one fell swoop, and immediately snatched Bai Yujing's first position that he hadn't yet sat on.

The woman's name is Lian Yi, she looks weak and weak, and her appearance is delicate, according to the elders of her master, this disciple usually does not look obvious, belongs to a very low-key type, and his strength is only in the middle stage of foundation building.

It's just that after this **, most of the disciples behind are at the level of more than a dozen steps, and there are no surprising highlights.

The three Venerables in mid-air yawned a little bored when they saw this scene.

"I thought that the spiritual roots of this year's disciples were generally not enough, and this spiritual perseverance should be expected, but I didn't expect that these disciples were also general, and none of them have exceeded seventy-five steps so far. Venerable Bishui was the first to complain.

Judging from the words of the surname, this Venerable is also the youngest of the three Venerables.

It was the turn of the opponent of the Five Elements Gate, the Flying Dragon Gate.

Venerable Huangshi remembered that there was a disciple He Jian who he focused on investigating, so he cheered up and looked at it carefully.

And Zhang Xiaomai's gaze was on Ouyang Feng's body of the Flying Dragon Gate at this moment.

Not surprisingly, Ouyang Feng's results were very poor, and he only climbed the twenty-first step before he immediately fell.

Not to mention that this result was directly selected by the three venerables, even if it passed this round of testing, it was very reluctant, after all, this round of testing required the top five hundred, judging from Ouyang Feng's results, it was really a very problematic thing to be able to enter the top five hundred.

Ouyang Feng also closed his eyes with a pale face, lying there, as if this round of climbing the cloud ladder was really a big drain on him.

And the appearance of He Jian, the senior brother of the Flying Dragon Sect, can be called a great shine, because he actually climbed the seventy-nine steps in one fell swoop, and he was one level away from equaling the best record in the history of the selection of the disciples of the Liangyi faction, so that the disciples of the surrounding factions were in an uproar.

Coupled with his previous ninety-nine points in Linggen, He Jian of the Flying Dragon Gate immediately became a popular candidate selected by the Bei Liangyi faction.

"I really can't imagine that this He Jian, in addition to his outstanding talent, is also outstanding in mental perseverance. Qianwu Yang frowned.

"Xiaomai, remember, if you are elected to the Liangyi Sect with him in the future, he can be called a fierce rival of yours, you must be cautious with him!"

Maybe it was a premonition in the dark, or maybe it was the importance of being able to become a genius of his opponent, Zhang Xiaomai also took a few more glances at this He Jian and kept him in mind.

Finally it was the turn of the Five Elements Gate to start the test, Zhang Xiaomai took a deep breath, from the air, he could already feel the smell of nervousness.
