They either beg along the street or eat grass roots and tree bark. They all come from far away.
All the way over the mountains and ridges, just for the illusory dream of becoming a fairy, but now...boom, he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, unconscious.
The disciples of Shangyuan Sect immediately stepped forward, lifted him up, and carried him down the mountain.
The little tree demon was reluctant to leave: "Mom and dad, you have to watch me here."
Xihe nodded, touched his head, and pushed forward: "Go quickly, we must climb to the top."
The little tree demon instantly acted like a warrior who had received an order. He nodded vigorously, clenched his fists, turned around and rushed towards the ladder. At this time, only the relatives and friends of those who climbed the ladder were left in the entire square.
Shangyuan Sect is a large sect and the selection is strict.
Having spiritual roots does not mean that you can enter the sect. Only by climbing up the ladder to heaven, entering the mountain gate, and going through ten days and nights of battles of wits and courage can you truly become an outer disciple.
As for those who cannot climb the ladder, they will be sent to the next sect after a period of training.
The so-called lower sect is an affiliated sect of Shangyuan Sect. The resources of the master are naturally not as good as those of the main sect, but it can still be regarded as a place to return. Moreover, Shangyuan Sect holds a competition for affiliated sects every five years, ranking among the top three. You can still choose whether to return.
Generally speaking, Shangyuan Sect still adheres to the principle of respecting the strong.
Only the strong and those with outstanding talents can enjoy the best resources. Law, lovers, wealth, and land are the epitome of the entire world of immortality.
The little tree demon is a natural wood spirit with extraordinary talents and excellent understanding. Entering Shangyuan Sect is a sure thing, but Xihe still hopes that he will go all out to face every challenge and strive for the first place.
"Xiaobao will definitely do his best."
Fan Xiu holds her hand tightly.
Uncle Zhong also nodded excitedly: "Young Master must be the first!"
There is a long ladder with no end in sight. All climbers grit their teeth and work hard to climb, staring at the peak with only one belief in their hearts: Climb to the top and become an immortal!
In order to select the most outstanding immortal cultivators, Shangyuan Sect placed many obstacles on the ladder to heaven.
The first layer is gravity.
The second level is fantasy.
The third level is obsession.
The fourth level is karma.
Whether you are a cultivator who has already practiced or a mortal whose Dantian is empty, once you step on the Immortal Ladder, the elixirs and spiritual power will no longer be usable.
Break through the first level and enter the second level. You will face temptations such as splendid clothes, gold and silver jewellery, promotion of official positions, beauties and fairies, etc. Most people are directly stuck at this level, and only those with a firm mind can pass.
Xihe and others looked at the ladder from a distance below, and saw many people looking crazy and ugly, and they were stunned.
She looked at the first person on the ladder. He was an unkempt little beggar with dirty hands, but he turned a blind eye to everything around him and concentrated on climbing up. There were five or six people behind her, all of whom had climbed to the level of obsession.
The little tree demon is on the fourth floor. There is sweat on his forehead, and he is obviously a little impatient.
Uncle Zhong looked at Xihe hurriedly: "Young madam, young master, he..."
Xihe calmly said: "No problem."
Most of the people in front were teenagers. In front of the little tree demon was a rich young man. He didn't care about his image at this time. His brocade robe was casually tied around his waist, and he climbed up sweating profusely.
The second place was a girl covered in pearls, with a red face and sweat on her forehead. Behind the little dryad is a white-faced scholar wearing a scholar's hat, mumbling something. Listen carefully, it turns out he is endorsing... Beside him is a chubby little fat man, mumbling about various chicken wings and grilled fish, forming a duet.
Little Dryad: "..."
Frowning fiercely, he was hungry.
In the main hall of Shangyuan Sect, the sect elders observed through the water mirror: "..."
What kind of weird combination are these? Beggars, scholars, rich young masters, and even monsters... Master Danfeng chuckled awkwardly: "There are so many talents this year."
The elders also said: "Exactly, our Shangyuan Sect needs a few more talents."
One of the elders suddenly said "Eh" and pointed at the ladder: "That kid is pretty good. He actually surpassed the two people in front of him and ranked second."
The leader immediately looked over and saw that the disciple he had appointed was catching up with the second place at an extremely fast speed. His white and tender face was full of determination, and he looked past the little beggar to the peak ten meters away.
The leader raised his brows and his expression softened slightly: "This guy is good."
The leader of Jade Girl Peak looked at the little girl in third place and said with a smile: "This girl is destined to my Jade Girl Peak. Please don't fight with me."
She wears hairpins and jade, and is dressed in peony palace clothes. She looks rich and graceful. She is different from most of the mainstream in the world of immortality who admire the graceful appearance of immortals. However, to be able to become the master of a peak, her strength should not be underestimated.
At this moment, another change occurred on the ladder.
The little tree demon climbed up with all its heart, already surpassing the little beggar by half its body. At this time, it was only five meters away from the finish line. They were all dripping with sweat and panting.
The leader leaned slightly on the back of his chair: "It seems that the overall situation has been decided."
The little tree demon is a demon, and Xihe personally teaches him, so his strength is naturally superior. However, the little beggar is seven or eight years old, with a small body and skinny bones. It is a miracle that he can persist until now. It is difficult to surpass the little tree demon.
Just when everyone was wondering which disciple they would snatch, the little beggar suddenly moved.
She gritted her teeth and climbed up under the tremendous pressure, holding her knees up and walking faster and faster step by step. The little body couldn't help but tremble, and the feet without shoes were stained with blood, leaving a bloody footprint with every step... Bang, one step on the last step.
The little tree demon turned his head subconsciously, and the little beggar fell to the ground, grinning: "I am also number one!"
All the sect elders were shocked: "This child is incredible."
Boom——
The bell rings,
A clear voice spread through the mountain gate: "The test is over."
The ladder shook and all the illusions disappeared. The promoted disciples followed the formation and entered the outer courtyard of Shangyuan Sect. What followed was ten days and ten nights of climbing through the mountains and forests three days later. However, that was already Shangyuan Sect’s own business. Xihe and others Can't see it anymore.
Seeing the little tree demon and the little beggar boarding the ladder, they turned and left.
Uncle Zhong was still very excited along the way and lamented repeatedly: "It would be better if I were born decades later."
It was such a pity not to participate in such a grand event. Fan Xiu laughed and asked why he didn't go when he was asked to try before. Uncle Zhong suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment. Isn't he timid...
After returning to the city, after waiting for another ten days, news came from the Shangyuan Sect about the apprenticeship ceremony.
This day, the sky is clear and the air is clear.
The Shangyuan Sect was paved with red silk, and all the major sects came in droves with cranes and flying clouds, making it very lively. Fairy Luoxia, Fairy Shangyu, and many rare beauties in the world of cultivation are a feast for the eyes... Xihe and others were fully dressed and sat down at the viewing platform under the leadership of the head disciple.
She was dressed in Tsing Yi and sat at the top of the table with Fan Xiu, attracting the attention of countless visitors.
