On the way to Kunlun, the eldest brother of the Tao family gave Tao Yao some homework.
In Qiye Continent, most of the land belongs to mortals. If mortals practice Taoism and reach a great level of cultivation, they will have the opportunity to ascend to the Kunlun Fairyland and become an immortal respected by mortals.
It is said that Kunlun Wonderland is a holy land for spiritual practice set aside by the gods for human beings, and non-strong people cannot go there.
Every fifty years, the Kunlun Wonderland will be opened to the Qiye Continent. Any cultivator with excellent qualifications, regardless of the strength of their skills, may be selected by Kunlun to become a disciple of the Wonderland.
The two Tao brothers also said that as long as she could enter the Kunlun Mountains, not even the elders could do anything to her.
The problem is, Kunlun may be scarier than Tao Jia Lao.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Unavoidable, the Tao family came after them. The two Tao brothers and Tao Yao hurriedly hurried, and finally arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Looking at the Kunlun Mountain so close, Tao Yao cursed ten thousand times in his heart.
You know, when they were brother and sister, the brother cared for his sister in every possible way, so he never left her. If you didn't know, he thought she was a criminal, and the brother was a dedicated government servant who sent her to be punished.
Do you want to watch her so closely? Even if she goes to the toilet, she is only willing to stay a few feet away. No matter how capable she is, she will never find a chance to escape!
The eldest brother touched Taoyao's head: "Xiao Yao'er, if you go to Kunlun, you will no longer be the favorite of the Tao family. Kunlun has Kunlun's rules. You must not ignore the rules and act wantonly like in the past."
"oh."
"I'm going to catch a wild rabbit to keep my little one entertained. After tonight, we'll take you up the mountain to become a disciple."
"good."
So, tonight is her last chance to escape?
As soon as the eldest brother left, the second brother came up and said, "Xiao Yao'er, eldest brother doesn't know why you have to go to Kunlun to become a disciple, but I know it very clearly. Come on, tell the second brother, what are you going to do?"
"..." She's not really Taoyao, so how can she know what Taoyao wants to do?
"Actually, second brother doesn't object to your thoughts."
"real?"
"Of course it's true!" the second brother vowed, "I'm not the eldest brother who is stubborn. Now that you have offended many elders because of the forbidden items in the house, even if my father and mother are messing around, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the Tao family.
But if you can really win the favor of Jing Shangxian, and even ask him to come down to earth and become the son-in-law of the Tao family, then even if you deceive your master and destroy your ancestors, the elders will forgive you, let alone stealing Tao family's forbidden items."
"..."
How much treasure must Jing Shangxian have to have the Tao family forgive his sin of deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors?
"Besides, with your qualifications, even if you get to the Kunlun Wonderland and practice hard for a hundred years, you probably won't be able to make any progress. It would be better to follow a different path, which is more likely."
This is a proper brother.
The second brother turned around and saw that the eldest brother hadn't replied yet. He carefully took out a small notebook from his sleeve and said, "Xiao Yao'er, don't say that the second brother won't help you. Keep this treasure away. It will help you succeed at the critical moment."
.”
By the light of the fire, Taoyao glanced at "Thirty-two Styles of the Erotic Palace".
"Hurry and put it away. Read it carefully when no one is around. The immortals in Kunlun have not been wanted by humans for a long time. Although the fairies in the fairyland are beautiful, they are all cold. You still have a good chance."
Only then did she realize that the second brother of the Tao family was a talented person. If it weren't for the fact that she was a demon, she might have had sex with him.
In the middle of the night, after the eldest and second brothers of the Tao family fell asleep, Taoyao quietly opened her eyes and planned to escape. After taking only two steps, a sudden electric shock flowed through her body, causing her to fall to the ground and twitching all over.
Before she could figure out what was going on, the exquisite mirror suddenly flew out. A moment later, the mirror fell face down to the ground, landing two meters away from her.
"Little demon?"
"Lord Mountain Master?"
"Little demon, where are you and why are you so dark?"
"I...I'm on my way."
"But we are about to reach Kunlun Mountain?"
Should I tell the truth?
Before she could think about it, another electric shock flowed through her body: "Hiss——"
"Little demon, I like honest children, and I am never polite to children who love to lie!"
How could Taoyao dare to lie when her face turned pale in pain?
"Lord Mountain Master, I have arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain."
"Yeah?"
"Absolutely true!"
"Very good. Tomorrow is the time when Kunlun opens the mountain to select disciples. You must find a way to get to the mountain."
"Don't worry, Mountain Master, I will do my best. But... my cultivation is shallow, and I may not be able to successfully get into Kunlun Mountain as the Mountain Master wishes."
"If you can't go up, you will die at the bottom of the mountain."
"..."
Damn it, this lousy place, can anyone bully her?
Okay, she's really excited! Isn't it just to go to Kunlun? She will go to Kunlun! When she gets to Kunlun, she will no matter what, she will seduce a high-level immortal and ask the immortal to accept her as a spiritual pet.
When she becomes the spiritual pet of the Great Immortal, she will ask the Great Immortal to give the mountain master a good beating for her!
Behind him, the second brother of the Tao family asked in a daze: "Xiao Yao'er, what are you doing?"
The exquisite mirror flashed and the mountain owner disappeared.
Tao Yao smiled, got up from the ground, picked up the exquisite mirror without leaving any trace, and replied with a smile: "Second brother, I am sleepwalking."
The next day, before dawn, the two Tao brothers led her to the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, Kunlun Immortal Servers were busy building a high platform, waiting for human cultivators to participate in the apprenticeship assessment. They formed a long queue, and people walked around in circles. There were so many people that they could not be counted.
Looking high again, Kunlun Mountain is floating in the air, surrounded by a white mist, and its scenery is looming. With just one glance, Taoyao knew that Kunlun Mountain was an existence that was elusive and unreachable in the world.
"so many people……"
The eldest brother of the Tao family also sighed: "Why do you think your family is opposed to your going to Kunlun? Kunlun has extremely high requirements for selecting disciples, and with the number of disciples in the mountain increasing in recent years, Kunlun has no intention of accepting more disciples.
Everyone in the world thinks this is a good place for cultivating immortals, but in this huge Kunlun, except for the almost-god-like Immortal Jingshang, who else can get a glimpse of the way to immortality?"
"Brother, is it difficult to become an immortal?"
"Xiao Yao'er, do you know how many cultivators have ascended in Qiye Continent in the past thousand years?"
"Ten or so?"
"not even one."
"Eh?" How can there be no one? If a cultivator cannot become a god, how can a cultivator become an immortal?
"Recently, there are rumors in the monastic family that there are no gods in the sky, and it is impossible for mortals to become immortals. Being able to enter Kunlun is the limit for cultivators."
The sun was hanging in the middle, and the Kunlun Immortal Server flew up, landed on a high platform, and looked down at everyone: "Every fifty years, Kunlun Wonderland is opened again today, attracting those who are destined to enter the fairyland.
This time the Kunlun exam question is about climbing the ladder to heaven. Since it is a ladder to heaven, non-immortals cannot climb it. Only those who ascend to Kunlun from the ladder to heaven can worship at the Kunlun Gate."
After saying that, the immortal waved his sleeves lightly, and on the top of the mountain, a white water dragon flew down, turning into a colorful water ladder. The crane circled up the ladder and sang happily.
"Now, if you want to become an immortal, please climb the ladder to heaven——"
No one moved.
A cultivator in purple clothes and a green crown raised his voice and asked: "Kunlun Immortal Lord, everyone knows that the Kunlun Ladder to Heaven cannot be climbed by non-celestial beings. How can we, as cultivators, climb the Ladder to Heaven?"
If Kunlun Wonderland no longer wants to accept disciples from the human world, it might as well make it clear as we have said, and there is no need to force us to retreat in the face of difficulties with exam questions that are simply impossible to complete."
"Not bad……"
The immortal raised his hand, and an icy air suddenly arose from the soles of everyone's feet, making Taoyao stamp her feet in a hurry.
"Those who feel that they cannot climb the ladder to heaven can turn around and go back.
Those who want to go to Kunlun should come and climb the Ladder to Heaven. Since Kunlun is tested by climbing the Ladder to Heaven, it means that some people can climb the Ladder to Heaven, but those who have doubts about Kunlun do not need to climb the Ladder."
"..." No one could say anything.
"I would like to remind you that since this is a ladder to heaven, it cannot be reached by people with mediocre qualifications. If anyone tries to climb it, his foundation will be seriously injured at least, or he will die at worst. I hope you will think twice."
The immortal's words made the second brother of the Tao family very anxious: "Brother, what should we do? Do we still want the little boy to climb the ladder?"
The eldest brother frowned and looked solemn.
"Brother, since the younger one didn't steal the forbidden items, why don't we take the younger one back? Even if the elders want to question the crime, they have to give real evidence."
The eldest brother shook his head: "Little Yao'er almost died without going back. Do you think the elders can really reason with us? The forbidden items are so heavy that our family would rather kill a thousand by mistake than indulge in one in vain."
"With Xiao Yao'er's talent, if he climbs the ladder, wouldn't it mean that he will never come back?"
The eldest brother looked at Taoyao: "Xiao Yao'er, what do you think?"
What could she think?
Extending one's head is a knife, and retracting one's head is still a knife. Since it is a path of certain death, she would rather choose a road with beautiful scenery, not to mention that Kunlun is very beautiful, and Kunlun's immortal attendants are even more beautiful.
If Kunlun was a place full of beauties, then she would die without regrets.
"Brother, I want to climb the ladder to heaven."
The eldest brother nodded happily: "Little Yao'er has grown up and knows the way to go."
At this time, practitioners have begun to climb the ladder to heaven.
Taoyao turned around and saluted the Tao family brothers. Although she was not Taoyao from the Tao family, because Taoyao got this opportunity, she owed it to the Tao family and she would have to pay it back in the future.
"Eldest brother, second brother, I'm going."
"Xiao Yao'er, your elder brother and second brother are here to handle matters at home, so you just have to rest assured. After you go to Kunlun, learn your skills well. As long as you learn your skills well, you can return to Tao's family in a dignified manner."
"good."
Tao Yao walked to the ladder to heaven. On the endless ladder to heaven, there were already hundreds of cultivators. The cultivators walked extremely slowly, as if there was some huge resistance that prevented them from moving forward.
She swallowed her saliva and made a gesture of putting her hands together.
It is said that everything is going well. She has tasted a lot of bitterness during this time travel, but she has not seen sweetness. It is time for her to have a taste of sweetness, right?
Taoyao walked up the ladder.
With just one step, the world changes suddenly.
In front of you is a vast expanse of snow-capped mountains, and in your ears is the fierce north wind. The wind is hundreds of times colder than the Youdu in the far north. Snow is falling from the sky and falling on people is bone-piercing.
This is not Kunlun Wonderland, this is clearly purgatory on earth!
She wanted to turn back, but there was endless whiteness behind her, and she couldn't see the way she came. When she turned back and looked in front of her, she saw that those cultivators who had climbed the ladder to heaven had long disappeared. When she lowered her head, she saw that there were no stairs at her feet.
Could it be that she traveled through time a second time?
Just when she was at a loss, a sound of piano came from the depths of the frost.
Amidst the thousands of miles of ice, a figure with a long back wearing a white gown is standing alone, with long silver-white hair dancing with the wind in the strong cold wind.
