Chapter 264: Got it! Zhao Mu was caught as a black bass!
The sound of the bells was resounding and lasted for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of miles.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the mountain gate of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace, and Yan Hongling and Zhao Mu were no exception.
because....
The ten-year entrance examination of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace is about to begin.
The clouds and mist swirling behind the mountain gate seemed to be stirred by someone, slowly gathering to the sides, revealing the vast ladder to heaven hidden in the middle.
The ninety-nine steps did not seem very high, only about ten feet, but with clouds and mist swirling behind them, it really looked like ascending to the fairyland.
Although he was very close to the mountain gate, Zhao Mu did not choose to rush in and start the assessment immediately.
"Come on!"
"Haha, I will definitely be able to reach the top and enter the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace!"
“…”
Compared to Zhao Mu, the others were much more excited and crazy. As soon as the mountain gate opened, they immediately rushed in one after another, as if whoever entered first would have an advantage.
If it were in the original world, a large number of people rushing forward would inevitably cause a large-scale stampede. But fortunately, this is a world of advanced martial arts. Not only are most of the people present here immortal cultivators who can avoid such a tragedy, but there are also some deacons and disciples of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace who are secretly preventing such incidents from happening. After all, every time a mountain is opened to recruit disciples, a certain number of mortals come.
The rumor Zhao Mu had heard in Cangyue City before was not false. There was indeed an old ancestor in Hunyuan Taiqing Palace who had ascended to the top of the mountain gate in the form of a mortal.
bang bang bang~
One second I heard excited shouts, and the next second I heard a lot of sad cries.
He was the one who had just broken into the mountain gate. He was bounced out before he even crossed the first step, and instantly lost the opportunity to enter the mountain gate.
"It seems that just looking at it won't reveal the mystery of this ladder..."
Zhao Mu was not in a hurry to rush in. He just wanted to stand outside and watch other people trying to pass the level to see if he could find some clues to pass it.
But the result...
After the challenger entered the ladder, it was like entering another world. He couldn't even see, let alone find clues.
"It's only been a short time, and already tens of millions of people have been eliminated. The Hunyuan Taiqing Palace's Heavenly Ladder test is way too difficult!"
"That's right, it's difficult. Whenever Hunyuan Taiqing Palace opens its doors to accept disciples, the final number never exceeds a thousand. Yet, every time, the number of people who come is in the tens or even hundreds of billions. Picking one out of billions, how can it not be difficult?"
"Although this assessment does not have any requirements for age, talent, cultivation, or strength, those with high talent and strong strength will always have an advantage."
"Look, Wu Zixu from the Wu family has moved, entered, climbed onto the second step, and is still going up."
"Someone has emerged from the Great Xia Dynasty's golden chariot. Is this the Ninth Princess? She's so beautiful, like a fairy from heaven. She's also successfully ascended the second step."
"The young couple on the Purple Spirit Eagle have also made it up. Hiss! They actually made it straight to the third step. So fast."
“…”
When most people were trapped on the first step, Wu Zixu and others had already quickly moved towards the tenth step. Later, some people with higher cultivation talents also gradually began to cross the first step and move towards higher places.
"Zhao Mu, why don't you move? I'm leaving!"
Yan Hongling was eager to try, her beautiful eyes full of excitement. As long as she joined Hunyuan Taiqing Palace, she could change her destiny. What kind of crappy fortune teller dared to say that I would never be able to cross the threshold of Tiangang Realm in my lifetime? My father, that idiot, actually believed it and wanted me to get married?
She seriously suspected that it was that vixen who had set up this scheme and wanted to get her out of the Yan family.
"go together!"
Zhao Mu smiled faintly, and walked into the mountain gate with Yan Hongling.
Boom~
As soon as I stepped onto the first step, I felt a repulsive force. This force was very strong. No wonder so many people failed the test just now and were sent flying in such an embarrassing position.
However, this repulsive force had almost no effect on Zhao Mu, and he stepped onto the first step easily.
"That's it?"
Yan Hongling easily stepped onto the second step, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. Having just seen so many people fail in an instant, she had thought that climbing the first step of the ladder would be very difficult. But...
"Hey, Zhao Mu, what are you standing there for? Let's go! Many people have already crossed the tenth step. Wu Zixu and the others are heading towards the 30th step."
Seeing that Zhao Mu was still standing motionless on the first step, Yan Hongling turned around and shouted at him.
Of course, she didn't think that Zhao Mu couldn't cross the second step, because she knew very well how easy it was for the latter to cross the first step, and it was not much worse than her.
"You go first, I'll follow!"
"Okay, then we'll see you on the ninety-ninth level!"
Yan Hongling didn't ask any more questions and turned confidently towards the higher stairs.
Tap tap tap~
It seemed that climbing the ladder to heaven was not much of an obstacle for her. She easily reached the tenth step and headed towards the twentieth step.
"Huh? Why did it suddenly disappear?"
Zhao Mu still stayed on the first step without moving, because he sensed a strange fluctuation when he just stepped on it. He suspected that he had caused the resonance of the Supreme Sutra in the Ladder to Heaven.
But this feeling was fleeting. Even if I stood there and carefully pondered it for a long time, I still gained nothing.
He even released the power of his soul to perceive for this purpose. He felt that this ability that belonged only to him might bring him surprises.
But the result...
"How strange, was it just an illusion?"
Zhao Mu, who had his eyes tightly closed, slowly opened them, his face full of confusion.
"Never mind, let's keep going up!"
Looking up, he saw that there were already quite a few people in front of him, but most of them were stopped by the first step.
Wu Zixu, Xia Ningzhi and a few others were moving very fast and were already approaching the 50th step. Although Yan Hongling's speed was not as fast as theirs, she had already passed the 30th step and was considered one of the best among them.
塌~
Kick~
Zhao Mu stepped onto the second step easily.
"Ok?"
Another familiar feeling came over him, and Zhao Mu immediately confirmed that it was not an illusion, and there was really something in the ladder that resonated with him.
but.....
This feeling was the same as before, and it was fleeting again.
I stood on the second step for a long time, but that feeling was still elusive.
"Does this resonance only occur the moment you step onto a new step?"
Zhao Mu speculated secretly in his heart. To test this, he immediately stepped onto the third step. The result made his eyes light up. "It's true, and this resonance seems to get stronger as the steps get higher."
Deng Deng stare~
As the sense of resonance grew stronger, Zhao Mu climbed faster and faster.
"Not even close."
"It's still close."
"Why is it always just a little bit off?"
"Hey! I still don't believe it!"
Every time he was about to find that resonance, he would be interrupted, which aroused Zhao Mu's competitive spirit.
