Devouring Chaos

Chapter 139: Climbing the Ladder to Heaven

"The second level is to climb the ladder to heaven!"

"Those who climb 500 steps are qualified!"

The man's cold voice echoed across the square!

After he finished speaking, everyone saw the mist in front of the square dissipate, revealing a stone staircase leading to the depths of the mountain top!

"This ladder to heaven is to test and sharpen everyone's heart for the Tao!"

"If a cultivator does not have a strong heart for the Tao, it is useless even if he has great talent!"

"The competition begins now! The competition lasts for one day. After one day, those who fail to reach 500 steps will be automatically eliminated!"

After the man made his announcement, he asked everyone to climb the ladder!

Guan Xiaobai stepped on the stone stairs and his expression changed slightly!

He felt a pressure on himself, and then he stepped on the second stone step! Even greater pressure swept over his body!

It seems that the higher you go, the greater the pressure!

This hurdle is really a test of a person's ability to withstand pressure! At the same time, you have to endure the burden brought by this pressure!

Guan Xiaobai and his group climbed up quickly!

There was only one day left, and looking at the ladder that seemed to have no end, no one knew if one day would be enough to climb the 500 steps, so no one dared to waste time and climbed forward as quickly as possible!

Jingren and Yunlong's team paused for a moment on the first level of the ladder to feel it, then began to rush forward! They also clearly knew that this ladder was testing the contestants with gravity pressure!

By the time everyone climbed to the 100th floor, obvious changes began to occur!

Those with higher cultivation have already walked to the front, while those with weaker cultivation have slowed down!

Guan Xiaobai and his companions were moving forward at the same speed!

After 200 floors! The pressure on the ladder increases again!

Several people were so tired that they stopped to rest, their bodies were soaked with sweat!

Guan Xiaobai looked in surprise at Jingren and Yunlong who were not far away from him. These two had been following his steps. Although they seemed to be sweating, their expressions did not change much!

After the 300th floor, the pressure becomes even more terrifying!

Everyone's feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead! Every time they climbed a step, it was like carrying a huge stone on their backs, carrying the weight forward!

At this time, Guan Xiaobai and the others also slowed down! They had to slow down, slowly accept the pressure, and quickly adapt to continue climbing!

Guan Xiaobai is relatively easy because he is a cultivator at the peak of foundation building! Now there is a difference!

Guan Xiaobai is one step ahead! He is the first place!

The second row is Lu Yuewen, Yan Meili, Gui Daoren and others!

The third place is Jingren and Yunlong!

The rest were those whose strength was at the initial stage of foundation building, and they were climbing the stone steps with difficulty!

The entire ladder was scattered like an arrow, and Guan Xiaobai was at the tip of the arrow!

Two hours later, Guan Xiaobai stepped on the 400th step! At this time, he felt the pressure increase even more, the pressure roared in his ears like an angry dragon, trying to scare him back and stop him here!

The gravity here is like carrying a truck weighing more than ten tons and moving forward!

Guan Xiaobai paused for a moment, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked back!

Lu Yuewen and the others are now on the 380th floor!

Jingren, Yunlong and others are on the 350th floor!

Not to mention the rest!

Several people have already laid down, knowing that they cannot climb up, and have stopped moving forward! This is because their Taoism is not strong enough!

Since Jianfeng Sect has chosen to use this to test everyone, as long as the foundation-building cultivators work hard, they will definitely be able to climb up!

However, these people could not bear the torment brought by the heavy pressure and have given up!

Guan Xiaobai shook his head slightly after seeing this. If he couldn't endure all these sufferings for the sake of the Great Dao, he would not be worthy of being a cultivator!

Perhaps these people have a special status in the secular world, and they live a life of luxury, with everything provided for them. How could they bear such hardship?

After taking a few breaths, he no longer paid attention to other things and continued to climb the ladder to heaven like an ascetic monk!

At the 500th step of the ladder, He Lao and others were high on the mountain and could see clearly what was on the ladder below!

Seeing Guan Xiaobai far ahead of the others, a look of relief appeared on Old He's face!

He really admired this young man!

"come on……"

Guan Xiaobai cheers himself up!

He gritted his teeth and climbed up step by step!

Now, every time he climbs a step, he has to rest for a while to recover his strength!

With such high intensity persistence!

Half a day later, Guan Xiaobai climbed the 490th step!

At this time, he could see a small platform 500 steps away, where the male examiner was standing with a calm expression!

And most of the day has passed!

Guan Xiaobai grunted and persisted for another hour, and finally stepped onto the 500th step!

"Wow..."

Instantly, Guan Xiaobai felt the heavy pressure flowing away like a tide! There was no pressure on the platform on the 500th step!

When Guan Xiaobai looked forward, he saw that there were still layers of steps above, which meant that he could climb higher on the ladder!

"Boy, don't look at it. The stairs ahead are prepared for inner disciples. Only cultivators at the Qi Sea level can climb them. If a cultivator like you at the Foundation Establishment stage climbs up, you will be crushed by the terrifying force!"

The male examiner looked at Guan Xiaobai with contempt and said mockingly!

"Humph……"

Guan Xiaobai snorted coldly, then sat cross-legged on the spot to meditate and recover his strength!

There are only a few hours left, Guan Xiaobai believes that Lu Yuewen and the others will be able to pass the test!

The waiting time was not long, Lu Yuewen, Yan Meili and others climbed up one after another!

But everyone was pale and sweaty! Although they looked a little embarrassed, they couldn't hide the joy on their faces!

"We succeeded..."

Lu Yuewen said happily!

Guan Xiaobai then opened his eyes and nodded lightly!

"We passed the second level exam!"

A day passed quickly, and another group of people climbed up on time!

Jingren and Yunlong are among them!

However, Yunlong looked at Guan Xiaobai with dislike, and there was a hint of jealousy and hostility in his eyes!

"Okay, time's up, game over!"

At this time the examiner spoke!

"Congratulations, you have successfully become an outer disciple of the Jianfeng Sect!"

"Next, I will take you to find a place to live!"

Those who failed were shut off from the pressure of climbing the ladder by the examiner, and these people left in disappointment and went back to continue enjoying their prosperous and wealthy life!

A dozen people who were successfully selected followed the examiner and were led to the halfway point of Jianfeng Mountain!

In a place shrouded in clouds and mist, courtyards appear before your eyes!

"This is the residence of the outer disciples. Follow me in!"

Guan Xiaobai and his group didn't say anything and followed him in!

Then the examiner began to make arrangements!

Guan Xiaobai saw Jingren and Yunlong stuffed a few spirit stones into the examiner's hands, and with the examiner's smiling face, arranged a loud and beautiful place for the two of them!
