Chapter 055: Back to Basics

After tempering the East as usual, a group of more than 30 people embarked on the final journey.

The remaining 100 miles were very smooth, and you could see the distant peaks in the distance, and the clouds were steaming. The snow-white buildings on the top of the mountain are hidden in the clouds, shining brightly, like a city in the sky.

There were already a few disciples waiting at the foot of the mountain, and there were two disciples who came to Cangcheng to recruit new ones, including the female cultivator surnamed Cao who had a violent temper, but I didn't see the leading disciple who led the way at the beginning.

Except for their group of more than 30 people, they did not see the rest of the references.

Suddenly, a person in the crowd shouted: "Are we the first to arrive? We have passed the test, and we are disciples of the Cangtong Sect!"

As this sentence was shouted, some people from high and low also responded with each other, and everyone cheered and was elated.

Mu Changning looked at the stairs that stretched from the foot of the mountain all the way to the top of the mountain, and then looked at the faint expressions of the disciples of the sect, and vaguely guessed the next development of the situation.

"Congratulations to all of you for passing the second level of the entrance examination!"

The female cultivator surnamed Cao stood up, glanced at everyone lightly, and her eyes flashed almost imperceptibly with a faint annoyance when she crossed Tao Heng, but she quickly reined in, and said in high spirits: "Now, it is the third level of the entrance assessment - the Immortal Ladder!"

The crowd paused for a moment, and the monk who had shouted in celebration in advance was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, cold from his body all the way to his heart.

"Why is there still one! We've already passed, but now it's the third level that came out of now? Who knows if there will be a fourth level after the third level!"

From the big ups and downs of the mood, all the monks were a little slight, but some couldn't help but vomit, and some just complained silently in their hearts.

The female cultivator surnamed Cao glanced at the monk who had just complained loudly, and said lightly: "The search for immortals is endless, where is the end, where is the end?

The man was speechless.

The female cultivator surnamed Cao asked another disciple to put away the jade plate that was originally handed over to everyone, and re-input spiritual power into it, and the jade card suddenly flashed with white light, and then returned to everyone's hands.

"The Immortal Ladder is the last level of the assessment, and as long as any of you pass the Immortal Ladder, you will become a disciple of this sect. Within 12 hours from now on, those who climb to the top of the mountain will pass through the ladder of seeking immortals! If you have not passed after 12 hours, the jade plaque will automatically shatter and take you away, and only then will the sect have no chance with everyone. ”

The nun surnamed Cao explained.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the long staircase, the snow-white platform was straight, and it disappeared into the clouds halfway up the mountainside, the clouds and mist were ethereal, nowhere to be found, and they didn't know when it would end.

At such a height, it is not difficult to climb the stairs for twelve hours a day, but is it really just a matter of climbing to the top?

Mu Changning was calculating in his heart, and the female cultivator surnamed Cao had already turned sideways and pointed to the entrance of the Immortal Ladder, and laughed softly: "At this time tomorrow, I and you may already be in the same door, and when we meet in the future, we should be commensurate with senior brothers and sisters." ”

Didn't they come here just to become a member of the Cangtong faction? What the female cultivator surnamed Cao said easily hit what everyone wanted and thought, and in just two sentences, they had already aroused a lot of pride.

Tao Heng sighed, and his expression was quite impatient: "There is so much nonsense, I have this time, I have reached the top of the mountain!"

Mu Changning turned his head to look at him, then looked at the female cultivator surnamed Cao, chuckled, and said, "Big brother, you are prejudiced against that Senior Sister Cao!"

Tao Heng "cut": "What kind of prejudice? I am such a small-bellied chicken intestine who remembers it for several days because of a little thing?"

“...... Oh no!"

Tao Heng couldn't cry or laugh, and rewarded her with a burst of chestnut.

Put away the modified jade plate, and a group of people are ready to step into the immortal ladder.

When he stepped on the first layer of Taiji, Mu Changning suddenly suffocated, glanced at Tao Heng, and each got the answer from the other's eyes.

This immortal ladder locks the spiritual power of the monk, just like the effect of the spirit ring, the person who steps on the immortal ladder will not be able to call on the spiritual power in his body.

In other words, compared to mortals, monks have little advantage on the immortal ladder, and they simply rely on their own physical endurance to hike to the top of the mountain.

This also reflects the fairness of the sect assessment.

Mu Changning smiled bitterly, they had a vicious fight with the spotted snake last night, although they recovered a little in one night, their bodies and spirits were still in a state of fatigue, and because they couldn't call on their spiritual power, they couldn't even open the storage bag and take out the pills for replenishment, and this journey was probably even more tiring than the previous three days.

In fact, not only a few of them, every monk who has traveled for three days has lost money, the female cultivator surnamed Cao deliberately did not reveal the mystery of the ladder to find immortals, and the hot-headed monk rushed up the ladder to find immortals, didn't he just get into the trap?

They thought that twelve hours was enough, but it was only now that they understood the purpose of this.

Mu Changning saw that some people were annoyed and wanted to go back to the Immortal Ladder to meditate and recover, but the way back was blocked by the barrier, and he could only advance, not retreat.

I acted rashly without full preparation, rushed for quick success, really ran into a problem, fell into such an embarrassing and embarrassing situation, and it was too late to regret it.

Mu Changning sighed lightly, she still has a lot to learn, and this can be regarded as a lesson.

No longer entangled in this, Mu Changning had already realized the difficulty of climbing this immortal ladder, and he hurried up the time.

Step by step, slowly, the original team of dozens of people has now been polarized, and Mu Changning and Tao Heng are at the end.

They are still young, their physical strength is not as good as others, and they have consumed a lot before, and they are already out of breath after only walking a few hundred floors. But they are still monks, and their bodies have been slightly transformed by aura because of their cultivation, and their bearing capacity is a little stronger than that of mortals.

Mu Changning raised his head and glanced at it from afar, and further on, except for the clouds and mist, he couldn't see anything else, and the steps of the Immortal Ladder seemed to never be in sight.

Han Kai and Ji Min had already gone far away, and Ji Min was carried by Han Kai for most of the way, saving a lot of physical strength.

Mu Changning was amazed at Han Kai's physical strength, Tao Heng smiled and said: "Han Daoyou is a physical cultivator, specializing in muscles, bones and muscles, you see that his tendons and flesh are all trained by physical training." ”

There are many types of monks, the common Taoist cultivation is to practice spells, the magic attack is powerful, and the physical cultivation is mainly to exercise the muscles and bones, and the physical strength is amazing. Buddhism, Confucianism, Confucianism, Demonism, Martial Arts, and Soul Cultivation, each cultivation method is different, and it is also good for each to be high.

Mu Changning understood, and continued to grit his teeth and walk up the mountain.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. The experience of mountaineering in her previous life taught her that it was best not to stop at this time, otherwise it would be more difficult in the future.

Tao Heng habitually raised his hand to wipe the storage bag on his waist, and after being slightly stunned, he sighed: "It's so ruthless, you can't even use the storage bag......"

"That's what you want to be surprised. Mu Changning smiled.

Just like the exam you took when you were a student, which one of them would leak the questions before the exam? In addition to the basic skills, the test is your ability to adapt to changes on the spot.

Pills, talismans, magic weapons, and so on, these external objects are certainly the icing on the cake for cultivation, but they should not be relied on too much. The demon beast was locked by the lock spirit ring and was still able to struggle to survive with its own strength, but for them, it was really like being blocked by the spiritual power now, and when they could only rely on their own strength, they found that they were weak and terrible.

Seeking the immortal ladder, a pun, in addition to being the third test of the sect, giving the monks the fate of seeking immortals, more importantly, is to give them a warning and warning.

The reality is noisy, gorgeous but illusory, and only by returning to the basics and wishing for oneself is the real way to cultivate the truth.

Mu Changning seemed to have suddenly grasped something, and a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt that his eyes were bright and his heart was bright, and the wind was light.

Turning around and looking at the road he had walked when he came, the long road of cultivating immortals had just begun at this moment.
