Looking at the noisy crowd below, Fu Ming raised his hand and pressed it in the void again.
After everyone was completely quiet, he continued, "You are not allowed to bring any magic weapons or some banned pills for this assessment."
"During the assessment, you can only rely on your own strength to obtain results. Once you find someone using magic weapons or talismans to assist in the assessment, they will be treated as cheating!"
"This assessment lasts for three days. Once the time is up, those who do not meet the standard will be considered a failure."
"Those who pass the test can return to the high platform to watch the assessment and wait for the next round of assessment to begin."
"Loser, please exit the formation barrier on your own and don't stay."
At this point, Fu Ming also explained the assessment matters to everyone.
Finally, with his voice, the assessment began. This massive assessment could be considered as the beginning.
…
In an open space behind the high platform, there were three hundred Tianjian Sect disciples standing. They were lined up so far that from a distance they looked like standing wooden stakes.
Three hundred people lined up in a row. The scene was not spectacular, but it also had a solemn and oppressive feeling.
As Fu Ming finished speaking, the disciples all activated the array disks in their hands and put them into the small pits that had been dug under their feet.
As the formation is activated, streamers of light flash rapidly, and these streams of light are instantly connected to form a straight line that is a kilometer long.
While everyone was stunned, this straight line began to rise from the ground and slowly spread diagonally toward the sky.
Quickly, it soared straight into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
In the eyes of everyone, this straight line had already changed its appearance. Looking around, a translucent staircase with a width of one kilometer suddenly appeared.
This staircase towers into the clouds, just like a real ladder to heaven, as if you can achieve enlightenment and become an immortal just by stepping on it.
Everyone present opened their mouths wide and looked at this magical scene in disbelief.
Except for the disciples of Tianjian Sect, they all looked indifferent to this.
There is even a sarcastic look in the eyes of these boys and girls who are about to take the exam, as if they are laughing at these people for not having seen the world...
Seeing that the rear formation was activated, Fu Ming raised the corners of his mouth slightly and waved his hand, "The ladder has appeared, and the assessment begins!"
"Hula..."
All the hundreds of thousands of people below started to move, especially the row at the front, who were almost forcibly pushed forward.
"Damn, don't push, don't push..."
In the crowd, Xiao Fei was cursing. He happened to be at the front. Originally, he wanted to mix in the crowd and see what was going on.
Who would have thought that this group of people would be so crazy? Now let alone mixing in the crowd, even if you walk slowly, you will probably be trampled to pieces.
In desperation, he could only go with the flow and move forward with the large army.
…
Hundreds of thousands of people ran together, and the scene was imaginable. Fortunately, the ground was paved with bluestone bricks. If it had been a mud floor, the sky would have been filled with smoke and dust.
Soon, Xiao Fei and other people in the front were forcibly pushed to the foot of the ladder with extreme reluctance.
At this time, there were no Tianjian Sect disciples here, and those who had activated the formation before had taken the lead in stepping on the ladder. If you look closely, they were not standing on the ladder, but instead they were all flying along the ladder with their swords.
Every ten steps, someone will stand in the air, until the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step.
Moreover, careful people also discovered that a red staircase appears every hundred steps. This may be used to distinguish between classes and facilitate counting.
Standing under the stairs, Xiao Fei raised his head and looked along the top of the stairs. From a distance, the entire ladder was translucent.
When I got closer, I realized that it was not that the stairs were translucent, but more like luminous lines, giving people an ethereal feeling, as if they would be emptied once they stepped on them.
Xiao Fei stood in front of the first staircase. He was not in a hurry to step on it. Instead, he turned his head and looked around.
Although Ye Yang told him before
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He had received a lot of information about the assessment, but now he became cautious.
After all, what he heard was never as real as seeing it with his own eyes, not to mention that he had to experience it himself.
This is a matter of his own life. If he climbs too high and accidentally falls, he will have to answer for it. He cannot be careless in this regard.
"Go ahead...!"
I don't know who shouted, and then people started to step up the stairs.
Xiao Fei stared at the movements of these people without blinking. When he found that he could actually step on the stairs made of lines with his feet, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he soon discovered that the expressions of those who stepped onto the ladder were very strange.
When some people stood on the first step, a look of pain suddenly appeared on their faces.
Some were excited, even laughing out loud, as happy as if they had picked up money.
But some people have expressionless faces and steady steps, stepping forward step by step.
Soon someone had climbed the tenth step and came to the first Tianjian Sect disciple...
"I remember Ye Yang said that climbing the ladder to heaven is to test one's cultivation state of mind. Is it possible that something terrible will happen after stepping on the ladder?"
Xiao Fei looked at the people who kept walking past him and resolutely stepped onto the ladder to heaven. He couldn't help frowning and thinking.
Because the ladder was a thousand meters wide, no one continued to push Xiao Fei up at this time. Seeing him standing motionless, no one asked why, but just passed him by.
"What's going to be up here?"
Xiao Fei was still bowing his head in thought, completely unaware that the first batch of people to step onto the ladder to heaven had already reached the 50th floor.
…
"What is Brother Xiao doing? Why doesn't he go up?"
On the high platform, everyone who had been paying attention to Xiao Fei silently looked at Xiao Fei with doubts. At this time, Huang Wuji finally couldn't help but asked.
"Who knows?" Cheng Xing casually picked up a piece of pastry that Xiao Wen had just brought and took a bite without any ceremony. "Stop guessing and wait patiently. Isn't this just the beginning?"
"That's right, I believe Boss Xiao must have his reasons for doing this. Why should we add to the trouble? Just watch with peace of mind." Fatty Li picked up a piece of fruit and gnawed it without any courtesy.
Xiao Wen looked at Wang Qianqian beside him and asked, "Miss, how many floors do you think Young Master Xiao can climb?"
"I don't know, but level 800 should be fine. He is so strong, so it shouldn't be too low."
As Xiao Fei's follower, Xinsheng did not ignore him, but he still subconsciously kept some distance from everyone and did not participate in everyone's conversations.
At this time, he was also standing on the edge of the high platform, staring at Xiao Fei in the distance without blinking, his eyes full of anticipation.
At his feet, Ergouzi was lying lazily at his feet, basking in the sun leisurely.
…
"What the hell is this kid doing? There are people in his group who are almost on the 100th floor, and he's still standing there motionless. Could it be that he doesn't dare to step on this ladder?"
In a hall of the small attic, on one wall, the formation streamer fluctuated. A picture was displayed on it, which was the fantasy projection of the ladder at this time.
A projection array has been arranged on this wall, showing the entire situation of climbing the ladder in front of everyone's eyes.
At this time, all the elders of Fu Ming are here to pay attention to the situation of climbing the ladder.
Even Sikong Lie was there, but he was not staring at the projection on the wall like everyone else. Instead, he was leisurely drinking tea and eating unknown pastries in a corner, looking very comfortable.
"Haha... He doesn't dare? He dares to kill my Tianjian Sect disciples in front of us. Is there anything else that he doesn't dare to do?"
An elder spoke out to refute the elder who had just spoken.
Then another elder spoke.
"But he has been standing there for almost half an hour, and he has not moved since he stood there!"
"This assessment lasted for three days, and he only stood for half an hour. You
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Why are you so anxious?! Besides, even if he didn't climb the ladder, he didn't hinder others, so why are you excited?"
After what happened yesterday, Xiao Fei has become famous in front of this group of elders, so naturally many people will pay attention to him in today's assessment, wanting to see what confidence he has to dare to be so lawless.
However, when they saw Xiao Fei standing motionless at the bottom of the ladder, some people could not help but feel disdain. It was inevitable that they would make some mocking remarks.
"Okay, let you see the projection array to let you choose geniuses, not here for fun!"
Fu Ming glared at several people fiercely, and then said expressionlessly.
After saying that, he secretly glanced at Sikong Lie in the corner and found that he still looked carefree, and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Ming knew very well that Sikong Lie valued Xiao Fei. Coupled with Xiao Fei's incredible fighting power yesterday, it was hard not to convince him that it had nothing to do with Sikong Lie.
Coupled with the previous incident at Wang Ting Pavilion, he couldn't help but secretly guess that Xiao Fei might have been accepted by Sikong Lie long ago.
Otherwise, how could Xiao Fei have such fighting power at such an age? Moreover, he could clearly hear the conversation between the two of them yesterday. Xiao Fei actually dared to call Sikong Lie "old guy". This shows that the relationship between the two must be extraordinary.
, Otherwise, with his status, how could Sikong Lie be so spoiled to Xiao Fei.
Now that I think about it, maybe I made the wrong choice yesterday and lost the big tree Sikong Lie in vain.
Whenever he thinks about what happened yesterday, he secretly hates himself for being blind. Such a great opportunity was wasted by him. He was heartbroken for a long time last night. If he hadn't practiced for many years and his Taoist heart was stable, he might have been infected with inner demons.
, and has been unable to recover since then...
"Dong..."
A long and distant bell sounded, and Xiao Fei was brought back to reality by the sound of the bell.
Looking up, he soon discovered the reason for the bell ringing.
It turns out that someone finally succeeded in reaching the 100th floor, and the bell sounded like a congratulation.
At the same time, this made those who had not yet set foot on the ladder become impatient, and they all eagerly stared at climbing the ladder.
"I want to see what's up there?!"
Xiao Fei no longer hesitated. Looking at the crowds of people around him, he stepped onto the steps step by step.
When Xiao Fei stood completely on the first step, his eyes blurred and the scene changed.
"Damn! What the hell?!"
Xiao Fei's heart palpitated and he didn't understand what was happening.
When he saw the things in front of him clearly again, his expression suddenly became a little stunned.
"Car?! Sidewalk? Traffic light?"
"Am I back on Earth?"
Xiao Fei's head was full of questions. He was a little confused about the familiar yet unfamiliar scene in front of him.
There are no longer green mountains and green forests in front of us, no buildings with green bricks and green tiles, and no immortals flying with swords.
Instead, it turned into high-rise buildings made of cement and steel bars, and the roads turned into asphalt roads. There were shops and snack bars on both sides of the streets.
"Jingle Bell…"
While Xiao Fei was stunned, a cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.
Xiao Fei subconsciously wanted to take out his pocket, but after groping for a long time, he discovered that he was actually wearing a long robe, with his hair tied up high and fixed by a hairpin, and his whole body looked like an ancient costume.
"Wait a minute, am I not participating in the Tianjian Sect's assessment? Why do I appear here?!"
At this time, Xiao Fei woke up suddenly, widened his eyes at the same time, and looked around in confusion.
"Hello? Who is it?"
At this moment, the owner of the cell phone ringtone just now finally answered the call.
Xiao Fei glanced at the man subconsciously, and the next moment, a bolt of lightning flashed through his heart, and he stood stunned on the spot.
