Chapter 1 Xianzong Examination

The world of cultivation, Tianxuan Sect, is located among the mountains.

There is Lingshan outside the mountain gate, and there is also mountains outside the Lingshan Mountain. Further out there is a plain, winding path, which extends from it, passing through a small market not far away, and then to the distance.

A few miles away from the market, there was a small forest. Under the shade of the tree, a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old sat.

He held something in his right hand that looked like a smartphone, and several lines of handwriting were displayed on the screen:

"Time: Netherworld Episode 8858 December 17.

“Name: Lin Geng.

“Gender: Male.

“Life life: 22 years and 7 months.

“Age: 16 years and 8 months.

"Remaining lifespan: 5 years, 10 months, 29 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes and 15 seconds."

The number of the last item continues to change, from 15 seconds to 14 seconds, then 13 seconds, gradually becoming 0 seconds.

A sinister laughter came from the "smartphone": "Hehe, congratulations, your life span has been reduced by another one, and the time you can survive in this world has been reduced by another one."

A faint black air surrounded the screen of the phone, making it look gloomy and weird.

Lin Geng's face turned pale, his right hand was pinching tightly, and he trembled slightly. After a while, his emotions returned to calm, and he put the "smartphone" in his arms.

He vaguely heard someone outside. He walked out from the shade of the tree and saw that there were already many pedestrians on the road, most of whom were young boys and girls. The youngest was only fourteen or five years old, and the oldest was less than eighteen. They were ragged and dusty, carrying small bags, and bamboo tubes containing water hung around their waists. Some carried bows and arrows, some walked with sticks, some held umbrellas with one hand, and some fell to the ground while walking, sleeping soundly.

Not far away, there were several middle-aged men carrying swords passing by.

"I heard that there is the technique of immortality and the method of flying and escaping the earth in Tianxuan Sect. If you can worship the Tianxuan Sect, you can practice. No wonder so many people come from afar."

"Yes... However, it is not that easy to join the Tianxuan Sect. Not to mention passing the assessment, it is extremely difficult to obtain the qualification to participate in the real assessment."

"Isn't everyone who says you can apply for the exam?"

"Even if you apply for the exam, you may not be able to obtain the formal assessment qualification. If you want to join Tianxuan Sect, you must register in several cities 3,600 miles away. The applicant must be ten years old and less than eighteen years old. Everyone must start from the application office at the specified time, and must also walk to the official assessment location within the specified time. Along the way, thousands of miles away, there are not even a village or town. Moreover, all the teenagers who apply for the exam must wear test cards, which also come with magic to attract the surrounding beasts. Even adults find it difficult to arrive on time, let alone these teenagers."

"So strict?"

"Of course, do you think Tianxuan Sect can get in so easily? When did the number of applicants not exceed 100,000? But when did those who were finally qualified for the assessment exceed 500? After the assessment, eight out of 100 were eliminated."

"The elimination rate is so high? The young man who died halfway..."

"Don't talk nonsense. The wild beasts that are too fierce within a radius of four thousand miles have been driven away, and those test cards come with spells. The younger the person, the weaker the beasts they attract. If the wearer is seriously injured, the test cards will also release spell protection. At the same time, the warning will be issued, and a special person will rush to rescue..."

Lin Geng walked past those people and went to the small market. He used the money he had left to buy a few meat buns, ate while rushing, and soon arrived at the foot of a big mountain.

There is a very wide flat land here, and there is a huge white cloud floating quietly in the sky, blocking the scorching sun, making it look quite cool.

On the ground, a huge circle was drawn with white powder. There was a stone tablet emitting golden light in the middle of the circle, with the words "Introduction to Tianxuan Sect" written on it.

Next to the stone tablet, there is a table, behind it is an old Taoist sitting, and two Taoist boys stand beside him.

Some men and women, who were sixteen or seventeen years old, lined up and took turns to step forward, handed the black test card they carried with them to the old Taoist, and then took a small jade-colored sign the size of a finger and hung it on their chest.

Suddenly, a man who looked only sixteen years old fell to the ground, kowtowed and begged loudly: "Sir, give me another chance. Please, please, please, I beg you, give me another chance, I know I am wrong."

The old Taoist, who was sitting behind the table, looked unchanged and said lightly: "There is a record on the test card. You secretly took a carriage three times on the road, saving nearly 300 miles of distance and gained a three-day rest time. Two groups of people in the middle gave you seven foods. Some people even came to help you run away two night attacks of wild beasts. If you cheat so many times, do you still want the old Taoist to give you the qualification to participate in the formal assessment? Next."

The man was still kowtowing, and the old Taoist patted his palm gently. The two Taoist boys next to him walked forward, slapped the man out with one palm, dragged him out of the white circle, and threw him on the ground.

Lin Geng only glanced at him and hung up high without any matter. He quietly stepped forward and lined up, and soon changed to the test card. When the jade card was hung on his chest, he could feel a cool breath penetrate into his body, which was very light, intermittent, but very comfortable.

He found a place to sit down and rest, and waited slowly.

Some people kept coming from afar, some were successfully transferred to the exam card, and some were found cheating, and their qualifications for the formal assessment were cancelled.

After about an hour, the sky suddenly darkened. When I looked up, I saw thick clouds gathering from all directions, and clouds rolling above my head, surging endlessly.

A colorful ray of rays penetrated the clouds and shone from the sky to the ground. A middle-aged man in a blue Taoist robe slowly descended from the sky in the rays of rays, like an immortal coming to the mortal world.

The old Taoist and two Taoist boys next to the stone tablet quickly walked out and bowed to the middle-aged Taoist: "I have seen uncle!!"

The middle-aged Taoist nodded slightly and said to many years: "If the limited time has arrived and the time has not arrived, the qualification for the regular exam will be cancelled."

After talking, he waved his right sleeve and a strong wind blew. The people standing outside the white circle were blown away by the strong wind and blew away for several miles. From a distance, after the people fell to the ground, they jumped up in panic, as if no one was injured.

The middle-aged Taoist said to the young people in the white circle: "Everyone, congratulations, you have obtained the formal assessment qualification for the introductory assessment of this sect. I, Zhang Xuanfeng, is a member of the Tianxuan Sect, is one of the chief examiners of this assessment.

"The total number of applicants this time is 167,000. It's great that you 375 of you can appear here on time. However, the real assessment has just begun. The assessment is quite strict, not just that you may encounter life danger. If anyone wants to quit, it's still time to leave now."

After waiting for a while, no one left. The middle-aged Taoist talent nodded slightly: "If you decide to continue taking the assessment, please come with me."

As he said that, he turned around and walked towards the intersection of the mountain path.

He took seven or eight feet in one step. He seemed to be slow, but his speed was not slow. Only by trotting could everyone keep up.

The mountain road was a scattered chord, and it was very physically exhausted. A team of more than 300 people pulled long on the mountain road, following Zhang Xuanfeng and chasing from one mountain to another. Not long after, they were all out of breath. In less than two quarters of an hour, someone began to throw things on their backs everywhere.

The mountain in front is getting higher and higher, and the mountain road is getting steeper. The surrounding moisture becomes heavier and the fog becomes thicker. On the right side of the road is a high cliff, and on the left is a valley hundreds of feet deep. There are stones rolling down, and there is no echo in the longest day. When I look down, I see the fog is vast and the bottom of the valley is not seen.

Lin Geng moved his feet mechanically, his lungs were sore, his breathing sound was like a bellows pulling, and his heart seemed to pop out of his chest at any time.

I was dizzy, blurred, I didn't see things clearly, my ears buzzed, my head, face, chest, and back were sweating. My whole body was wet, my legs were getting heavier and heavier. I was already running, and I couldn't get faster.

Nearly an hour later, everyone gasped and climbed to the top of a mountain.

There is no grass here, about twenty feet long and about eighteen feet wide, with roads on one side and cliffs on three sides.

The thick clouds outside the mountain are rolling, surging endlessly, like waves, endlessly across the country.

A mountain with thousands of feet high, the peaks emerge from the distance through the clouds and stand tall, looking like an island on the sea from a distance.

Thousands of feet above the sea of ​​clouds, there are also floating giant mountains moving slowly. You can even see some monks stepping on the sword light, looking at the sky and chasing the sun, or riding on the clouds or leaving with the wind, rising and falling on the floating giant mountains, dancing freely, and full of immortality.

"This...this is Tianxuan Sect?!!!" Lin Geng was filled with shock.

Zhang Xuanfeng said in front: "Follow me."

He walked to a cliff. There was no road in front of him, but with just a wave of his hand, a seven-color rainbow bridge appeared out of thin air, spanning the void. One end of the rainbow bridge fell on the edge of the cliff, and the other end fell at the foot of a giant hanging mountain hundreds of feet away.

The giant mountain that was thousands of feet high was floating and moving, but it stopped for a moment, fixed over the sea of ​​clouds, motionless, obediently acting as the pier of the seven-color rainbow bridge.

Zhang Xuanfeng stepped on the translucent seven-color rainbow bridge in one step and walked slowly towards the opposite side.

Lin Geng and others quickly came to the Seven-Seam Rainbow Bridge and saw that the bridge was only seven feet wide and was translucent, like a veil and fog, hazy, as if it could be broken by blowing bullets.

Lin Geng reached out to poke his finger, weighed it with his toes, and then stepped harder. He found that he couldn't fall down, so he walked up carefully.

He walked dozens of steps in fear, and the cold wind kept coming from all sides, causing his body to sway, as if it would fall down at any time.

When I looked down, the clouds below the rainbow bridge dispersed, the scenery in the mountains was as small as an ant, and the valley was thousands of feet deep. If it fell from here, normal people would definitely end up being crushed to pieces.

Lin Geng's face was slightly pale and his feet were weak.

He took a deep breath and twisted his right hand hard on the soft flesh on the inner thigh. The severe pain made him feel refreshed.

He raised his head and stopped looking down, and plucked up his courage to move forward, gradually moving faster and faster.

But Zhang Xuanfeng's figure ahead was getting farther and farther away, gradually disappearing. Lin Geng ran out of breath for a while and stopped for a while, and he was slowing down. After a long time, he saw the end of the Seven-Colored Rainbow Bridge.

The bridgehead was broken, and the end of the Seven-Colored Rainbow Bridge was not mounted on the Hanging Giant Mountain at all, but was hanging in the void, and there was still seven or eight feet away from the Hanging Giant Mountain at all.

Lin Geng's heart trembled: "How can I get through? I am so tired that I almost lose strength in my body. If I jump at the end of the rainbow bridge, if I make a mistake, wouldn't it be crushed to pieces?"

Just as he was thinking, there were suddenly crackling sounds of shattering and screams from behind. When he looked back, he saw large areas of Colorful Bridge cracking, and large pieces of Colorful Crystal fell into the valley. A young man also screamed in shock and fell from the sky, and the shrill screams echoed in the mountains.

The bridge broke faster and faster, and cracks gradually extended to Lin Geng's feet. His face suddenly turned pale, his whole body trembled, and he turned his head and ran away.

After a few steps, I reached the end of the Hongqiao Bridge, jumped hard, jumped over an eight-foot distance, and landed steadily on the giant hanging mountain in the air.

But after this force was exhausted, he was exhausted and fell to the ground all of a sudden, and could never get up again.

His body was trembling uncontrollably, gasping violently, his chest kept rising and falling, and his heart seemed to jump out at any time. When he recalled the thrilling situation just now, he felt a little scared and his hands and feet became soft.

After a while, after recovering a little of his physical strength, Lin Geng sat up with his body and looked around. He saw Zhang Xuanfeng standing not far away, and there was no one else around.

Lin Geng couldn't help but turn his head and look at the way he came. But he saw that the seven-color rainbow bridge was still in good shape, not broken at all, and it didn't break. One end of the bridge was placed on the edge of the cliff here, and the bridge body spanned the void. On the bridge, a young man and girl screamed and screamed tragic. Some were so scared that they lay on the bridge and did not move, while others simply fainted on the bridge.

"The bridge is not broken? It's not broken? Just now... Everything I saw and heard on the bridge just now was just hallucinations?"

Lin Geng was slightly lost. But Zhang Xuanfeng had turned around and walked towards the mountain.

Lin Geng hesitated for a moment and forced himself to climb up.

His body was soft and he staggered for a few steps, and then he felt dizzy and tinnitus and his chest was stuffy.

I gritted my teeth and continued to walk forward. Not long after turning a corner, I saw a row of skyward steps leading straight from the foot of this giant hanging mountain to the top of the mountain.

Surrounded by clouds and mist, you can't see the end of the steps when you look up, but it is estimated that this step is not a thousand feet or hundreds of feet, and there are not ten thousand feet or thousands of feet.

Zhang Xuanfeng's figure was on the high steps and gradually disappeared in the thick fog.

Lin Geng was stunned and sat down on the ground all of a sudden, looking up at the sky stairs, speechless for a long time.

He touched the "smartphone" in his arms through his clothes with his right hand, as if he remembered something, his face turned pale, he gritted his teeth, and said viciously: "Even if I climb, I will climb to the top of the mountain."

As expected, he climbed, walked only a dozen steps, his mind was dizzy, so he simply put his limbs on the ground and used his hands and feet.

Level 10, Level 20, Level 50, Level 80, Level 100…

Lin Geng climbed slowly as he climbed, his arms and legs were sore and soft, and he felt like he was swollen. Every time he climbed a step, he was very painful, as if he was tortured.

Suddenly, Lin Geng fell on the steps, spreading his limbs and almost motionless. After a while, a slight snoring sound came, but he was too tired and sleepy, and fell asleep like that.

A soft white light emanated from the jade-colored test cards on his chest, gradually spreading, and even covering his whole body. After a while, the light gradually retracted into the test cards until it disappeared.

Several monks passed by the wind above. Two of them stopped, stood on the verge of the void, glanced down, then turned on a list held in their left hand, picked up a red pen in their right hand, and wrote a few words behind Lin Geng's name: "Spirituality, Medium".
