The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you can fight a hundred battles without danger. For unknown things, be prepared in advance so that you can deal with them when the time comes. If you rush forward in confusion, even ten lives will not be enough to kill you.

"This is the second stage of the road to the clouds."

Taking a sip of the clear spring water, Xiang Yunfei smiled calmly and said: "People will die, and many people will die."

Zhou Mou heard this without saying a word. Those who practice cultivation will not die. Not to mention other things, the human race lives in this world, fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, fighting with the spiritual beasts on the wild land, and fighting with hundreds of aliens.

The gods, demons, immortals and Buddhas of the clan are fighting each other. Will there be a day when no one will die? The blood shed every day is enough to turn into a sea of ​​blood.

Even in the world he was in before, people died every day, some died of hunger, some died of freezing in the winter, and some died on the road trying to make a living.

"According to the information I heard from the family when I came here, this second stage seems to be related to the change of seasons."

Xiang Yunfei said sternly: "My ancestors of the human race established the imperial court, established sects, and consolidated the clan, not for their own selfish desires to dominate one side, but to conquer hundreds of tribes and let the fire of our human race be passed down to thousands of generations."

"Now is the time of the Spring Equinox. Our human race is busy farming and storing food and grass. The same is true for other races. However, some races should still be in a dormant period at this time. The Wuji Sect's goal at this moment should be among the hundreds of races in the world..."

Flying to the peak, never returning to the valley.

On the top of a mountain tens of thousands of feet high, the aura of heaven and earth here is extremely abundant, almost so rich that it can be seen with the naked eye, and even turns invisible into tangible form, flowing like water in a stream, roaming and rustling in the sky.

A white-haired old man was sitting on a cliff at the top of a mountain. The old man was so old that he might have passed the end of his mortal life. Even his eyebrows were so long that they covered his eyes, and his snow-white beard had grown several feet longer. But

Within its body, there is a vitality that will last forever.

The height here is almost to the sky, and the clouds and mist are shrouded. The stars you see when you look up are as big as millstones, and they are no longer like the fine sand-like dots you see on the ground. From time to time, there is an icy cold wind blowing by. If you are an ordinary person,

I am afraid that it will be blown dry in less than half an hour, but the old man is not affected by the cold wind at all. He has been sitting quietly like a rock for countless years.

In the middle of the night, a woman hiked to the top of the mountain. She had an extremely beautiful face and graceful figure. She wore a long black dress with a golden phoenix on it, overlooking the nine heavens. Her every move exuded a noble and elegant temperament, just like an ordinary person.

The queen in the deep palace has the attitude of a mother caring for the world, but her crystal-like eyes are full of coldness.

"Master."

Coming behind the old man, the noble woman called softly. At this moment, the coldness in her eyes softened a lot.

The old man she called her master seemed to be waking up from a big dream. He slowly exhaled a breath, then shook his head and sighed, "Who wakes up from the big dream first? I know it all my life~"

A smile appeared on the old man's wrinkled face, "It's been ten years since I slept, idiot. Ever since your master left, you have inherited his temperament and come to bother me every ten years."

, can’t you just let me sleep for a hundred years at a time?”

Ten years of sleep, this is simply a fantasy. Even the sleepiest person in the world would be startled when he heard it, and his jaw would drop to his shoes.

"Master made an announcement before he left for the west. He must report the affairs of the sect to the master once every ten years, unless the master is willing to return to the Holy Land or travel around the world." The noble woman said with a dull look.

"They are all old bones. My old arms and legs are still traveling all over the world. They are almost broken when I reach the foot of the mountain. Your master, that little bastard, even if he dies, he still has to provoke me. He has been walking for a lifetime. The last point

Time will give me a good night's sleep, can't I sleep until the end of the world? Oh, that's all, tell me what interesting things happened recently."

Mentioning the female master, the old man couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and he cursed all over his face, but at the end of the sentence, his tone was a little lonely. It's a pity...

"Yesterday was the opening of the Wuji Sect's Road to the Clouds. A girl with a gifted holy soul was born. She is also the most talented person in our Eastern Wasteland and Southern Territory in recent years."

The noble woman pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Wuji Sect, this era seems to be blessed by destiny. Five hundred years ago, Zi Yi used his spear to attack his shield, and the Chaos Hammer Way made everything impossible possible. Today's

Master Wuji is also a talented young emperor. The emperors once predicted that this man will be the first king of our human race in the past hundred years."

"Wuji Sect..."

The old man sighed and looked up at the dark night sky. The ancient stars emitting light seemed to be trapped in some kind of memory.

"However, this time I took my disciples to travel near the Wuji Sect, and I got an unexpected harvest." A look of solemnity appeared in the eyes of the noble woman, "There is a woman who has a very similar physique to what you said, Master. I will

She brought it back to the door."

The old man was shocked when he heard this, and the beard covering his eyes was blown away by the cold wind, revealing his starry eyes. These eyes seemed to contain infinite wisdom.

"It's a good thing. It seems like this old guy like me has to go down the mountain."

The capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Deep in the majestic palace, a dark figure sat on top of the hall. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the south. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate thousands of mountains and rivers and see the place he wanted to see.

"Finally, let me wait..."

…………

In the early morning of the next day, the main streets in Gusu City were already overcrowded. There were merchants with sleek and well-built bodies, city guards wearing military uniforms and armor, and dark-skinned farmers carrying hoes. There were even more people.

A pretty young woman.

At this time, everyone is crowded on the street, with expectations in their eyes, waiting for the arrival of today's protagonists.

"Grandpa, grandpa, aren't these the people who are going to take part in the Road to the Clouds? It's none of our business if there's anything good to see and so many people come to see it. Why don't I just go and play with Sakura!"

In a crowded street, a naughty boy about seven or eight years old was holding his little hand by the old man next to him, muttering unhappily.

The old man was already over sixty years old, but his body was quite strong. Even if the naughty boy tried his best to suck the milk, he could not break away from his strong hand.

"Don't talk nonsense, little one!"

After eating a stir-fried chestnut for the naughty boy, the old man hummed and said: "The rise and fall of Wuji is the rise and fall of Gusu City. It is the Wuji Sect that has made Gusu City and Jiangnan prosperous, and saved hundreds of millions of people from suffering."

Disasters, safe from the fangs of foreign evil spirits, the place where my family works

It can exist and have been passed down in Gusu City for thousands of years, thanks to the protection of Wuji Sect. This triennial road to the clouds is not only a matter of Wuji Sect, but also the future of our entire Gusu City.

You little brat actually said it’s none of our business!”

After receiving a burst of fried chestnuts, the naughty boy seemed to be a lot more honest. He covered his head with one hand and tears welled up in his eyes.

Just listen to the old man continue to say: "This is our unique festival in Gusu City. Of course there are a lot of people. And let me tell you, the businessmen who came to watch today are looking for business opportunities, looking for the future disciples of the Wuji Sect, and clinging to the powerful. , business will be much easier, and we can even open up sect trade routes."

"Those carefully dressed girls, including your sister, don't have much cultivation base. They want to leave a good impression in advance for those promising young people who can pass the road to the clouds. If they can be chosen, , that is to reach the sky in one step, and you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, at least, that is the case in Gusu City."

"There are also those sergeants, many of whom were former casual warriors. Because they were favored by the Wuji Sect, they voluntarily became the defenders of the city lord's palace, patrolling the ghosts hiding in the mountains on behalf of the sect, but these people, more It's the work of other sects and even the imperial court, here to find out the news."

"The only ones left are us farmers."

As the old man spoke, there was a hint of gratitude in his eyes, "Every three years, all the people in Gusu City will basically put down what they are doing and come to see with their own eyes the future of the Wuji Sect, which has protected us for thousands of years. !”

Thousands of years, ten thousand years, how long can a mortal live? If there is no supreme life-extending elixir, it will only last for a hundred years, and even more people will only live to seventy or eighty before dying.

The Wuji Sect has existed for tens of thousands of years, and Gusu City has also been established for tens of thousands of years. It has protected many generations of mortals. The Wuji Sect has countless disciples, elders, and even the sect leaders for generations, throwing their heads and blood, suppressing the nine heavens and ten places in a radius of ten No race in the world dares to thrive.

Great protection and all the people in the world will be happy!

"Coming! Coming!"

Suddenly, the crowd in front burst into shouts, their voices trembling, and with uncontrollable excitement, the grandfather and grandson immediately looked forward.

Under the leadership of Luo Tong and Ming Xue, I saw a large group of young people walking towards me. Looking at the dark area, I am afraid there are no less than tens of thousands of people, and they all have hard-to-conceal expressions on their faces. Smiling, they have passed the ladder to heaven and have good cultivation skills. Even if they fail to pass the road to the clouds in the end, they can start over and switch to Shanmen.

Zhou Mou, Jiang Xinyan and Xiang Yunfei were among them. The former looked around and was slightly shocked. Compared with yesterday, the number of people was reduced by half. The threshold of this Wuji Sect is simply not ordinary high, and In the next second stage, I don’t know how many people will have to be eliminated.

In other words, we don’t know how many people will die.

The look on his face suddenly became complicated. Zhou was thinking about how many people would be left who could successfully enter the Wuji Sect alive in the end...

"Actually, those with lower qualifications than Yingang are not eliminated directly. They have one last chance to join the Wuji Sect. However, it will be extremely difficult."

Seeing the thoughts in Zhou Mou's mind, Xiang Yunfei said slowly. The former did not speak, but just smiled helplessly. Even people like them with talents of silver steel or even purple gold are at risk of premature death in this second stage, let alone those who People with mediocre qualifications.

"My feet are so sore."

After walking for more than an hour without stopping at all, Xiao Nizi couldn't help but murmured. They walked across the entire Gusu City. Luo Tong, two Wuji Sect disciples, took them to the seaside and then stopped.

"Should be arriving soon."

Zhou Mou touched Jiang Xinyan's head, smiled slightly, and looked at the beach. There were small wooden boats docked there, and the rippling blue sea ahead. This second stage of the test should be
Chapter completed!
