The deep forest is silent, and there is no one on the stairs to the immortal.
Jiang Yuebai shivered as the cold wind blew, hugged herself tightly, and limped up.
Every time she took a step, she felt like a stone was being pressed on her shoulders, making her steps heavy.
Jiang Yuebai gritted his teeth and resisted, rushing up the tenth step in one breath. Suddenly, a woman fell to the ground and was dying appeared in front of her.
"mother!"
Jiang Yuebai burst into tears and rushed to the woman's side.
The woman was so hungry that only a layer of skin was left covering her bones, her lips were chapped, and she raised her hand to touch Jiang Yuebai's face.
"Yue'er, mom is too tired to walk, and I can't find anything for Yue'er to eat. Let's rest here. Can't we leave? Yue'er will definitely wake up when she gets some sleep. I will re-join a good family."
Jiang Yuebai was shocked and suddenly stood up and walked away from the woman.
"You are not my mother. My mother would not say such things."
Jiang Yuebai recalled that when she was four years old, there was a drought in her hometown, and everyone fled. Her father died, her younger brother died, and her mother did not survive in the end. Only she survived and crawled among the dead. come out.
"Yue'er, crawl out. You have to crawl out at all costs. Even if you are the only one left, you have to help your mother survive. Otherwise, she won't feel at ease even if she becomes a ghost!"
Jiang Yuebai pursed her lips and held back her tears, watching the woman in front of her disappear with a smile on her face, turning into a wisp of breeze and wrapping around her body, making her feel relaxed.
"Mom, Yue'er misses you so much."
Jiang Yuebai knew it was a lie, but her heart still hurt. She wiped away her tears and took advantage of the breeze to help her move upward.
Level 20!
As soon as the breeze subsided, the huge pressure made her kneel down on the stone steps. She saw the little beggars who had snatched food from her, holding sticks in their hands and looking fierce.
"You're quite capable. I actually begged for steamed buns to eat. Hand it over, or I'll beat you to death today."
Jiang Yuebai trembled all over, feeling scared in his heart, but he clenched his fists and shouted, "I'm not afraid of you!"
After saying that, she used her fierce strength to climb up against the sticks of the little beggars.
The severe pain increased, and she was covered in cold sweat. A stick hit her leg. She knelt down and continued climbing using her hands and feet.
Level 30!
The little beggars behind him all disappeared. The cool wind blew through his body, and all the pain disappeared.
Before Jiang Yuebai had time to be happy, he slapped her on the face.
Snapped!
"You are just a maid next to the young lady, but you still dare to practice calligraphy secretly? Since the lady praised you for being smart and eager to learn, then you should go to the brothel and learn hard! Take her away!"
The ferocious fat nanny blocked the way, and the servant suddenly appeared and dragged her down the stairs.
"What's wrong with my calligraphy? Let me go, I won't accept it!"
Jiang Yuebai roared, but she was pulled further and further away, no matter how hard she struggled, it was useless.
The lady was kind-hearted and taught her how to read and even changed her name to Jiang Yuebai, but it was the people's hearts that were ruined.
Repeating his old tricks, Jiang Yuebai bit the young man's arm, climbed up with all his strength, and when he reached the fat nanny, he threw her down.
"I'm right. I not only want to learn calligraphy, but I also want to learn more and more powerful things in the future. I'm not afraid of you!"
The illusion disappeared again, this time there was no breeze, only a bone-shattering cold wind.
"You can't stop. Mom said, as long as you still have the strength, you have to keep crawling."
Jiang Yuebai gritted her teeth and continued to move up under the increasingly heavy pressure. No matter what she saw, she told herself not to be afraid.
This path to immortality was pointed out to her by an immortal.
That day she escaped from the brothel and ran all the way into the mountains. When she was almost caught back again, she saw the most beautiful light in her life.
Like the moonlight falling from the sky, those bad guys were instantly knocked out.
She looked up and saw the moon rising over the mountains and the vast sea of clouds.
The female fairy in green is sitting on the sword, her eyes are lazy, her clothes are flying, and she is carrying a pot of wine, looking carefree and free.
"Kid, why do you keep running when you know you can't run?"
Jiang Yuebai's pupils trembled, and his mouth opened for a long time before he found his voice.
"What if I just...ran away?"
"Silly."
The female fairy raised her head to drink, while Jiang Yuebai knelt down and kowtowed vigorously.
"I beg the immortal to accept me, I want to learn immortal magic."
The fairy sleeve wiped the wine from the corner of her mouth and said lazily, "I can't hold it back, I can't hold it back, I have to ascend soon. I'm dizzy from the yellow soup today and I've disturbed your fate. I can use this crap too." If you don’t get it, I’ll give it to you as compensation.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the female fairy suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Yuebai. The hem of her gauze skirt swept over her cheek and she held her head with one hand.
Immortals caress my head, knotting my hair and receiving immortality.
A flash of golden light flashed by, and Jiang Yuebai opened his eyes blankly, not feeling anything different.
"Go east, cross the Nine Mountains, and step onto the top of the blue clouds. This is where the Immortal Gate is."
Jiang Yuebai looked worried. There were many dangers in the Jiuzhong Mountains. How could she get over it as a small person?
"Don't worry, I will show you the way. You will definitely get there. Don't worry about jackals, tigers and leopards. It just depends on how long you can hold on."
The female fairy moved away with her sword and disappeared into the vast sea of clouds, leaving only a drunken word.
"There is a way for immortals, all with the help of a pair of ducks on the soles of their feet, soaring through the sky and earth, roaming the rivers and lakes. Danqiu in the east and Taihua in the west, traveling towards the North Sea and Cangwu in the evening... Remember, the road to immortality must be fought for!"
The long road to immortality is endless.
Jiang Yuebai buried his head and crawled forward, a golden character faintly flashed between his eyebrows.
Fight!
Fight for a breath, fight for a way.
clang--
The sound of the bell is loud and solemn.
The last trace of light in the sky disappeared, Jiang Yuebai was frozen in place, and other people appeared around him one after another.
She didn't know which step she was on at the moment. There was a long staircase in front of her, and seven or eight people were scattered across the steps.
The farthest thing she could see was a girl. A little behind the girl was the fair-skinned boy who was next to her earlier and called her a fool.
"You must be a very powerful person to be able to climb that high."
Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but feel envious, but she immediately took a breath and looked back to see how many people were even inferior to her, who had the worst qualifications.
As we go down the stairs, there are more and more people.
Among those people, she saw Lin Suiwan.
Their eyes met, Jiang Yuebai's chin slightly raised, Lin Suiwan's eyes instantly turned red, and she knelt down in grievance and began to cry.
She tried her best to pass the sixty-sixth step and enter the outer gate, how could she be surpassed by a lowly and stinky girl.
Others also looked at Jiang Yuebai with surprise, envy, and jealousy because she attracted so much attention.
Her current location is on the 81st level.
Hong Tao stood on the flying sword and looked down at the entire staircase. When he tested the spiritual roots to record their origins, he had already anticipated the level of these children.
He was not surprised at all when he saw Lu Nazhi, Shen Huaixi and Xie Jingzhou ascending the ninety-ninth step. Most of what followed was also within his expectations. Until he saw Jiang Yuebai standing upright on the eighty-first step, he was surprised. The eyes widened.
She was surrounded by children with three spiritual roots and two spiritual roots. She stood there with five spiritual roots, eclipsing everything around her and making all the proud ones become her foil.
Hong Tao couldn't help but sigh to himself. Sure enough, a child who can climb the Jiuzhong Mountains according to ancient precepts has a strong heart and will that is unparalleled by others.
But her qualifications are not worthy of her temperament.
"Pity……"
After Hong Tao recorded the rankings, he waved his hand, and all the children immediately appeared in the huge square made of white marble.
The green peaks are upright, the waterfalls are flying, and the clouds and mist are shrouded in magnificent momentum.
Nine giant cauldrons are arranged on both sides, with curls of green smoke floating out. Its scent is light and elegant, making people refreshed and clear-sighted.
Hong Tao led the Immortal Sect disciples to stand in front with a serious face, "Congratulations to all of you for passing the heart-searching test, but the sect has sect rules. Today, the Tianyan Sect only accepts 365 boys to enter. This is deduced by the Supreme Elder. There are no exceptions to the rule, so..."
After the words fell, Lin Suiwan pinched his sleeves nervously, and Hong Tao's eyes fell on Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai gritted her teeth and met his gaze without fear.
As soon as Hong Tao raised his hand, Lin Suiwan screamed and squatted down, covering his ears. A strong wind blew past Jiang Yuebai's ears.
Just hearing a cry of surprise, the boy next to Jiang Yuebai was knocked away and disappeared behind the square without a trace.
He was the last person to ask for information and had the qualifications of the Four Spiritual Roots. He was kicked out of the Immortal Sect without even a chance to plead for it.
He didn't do anything wrong, he just didn't do enough.
Jiang Yuebai bit her lip and clenched her small fists little by little, becoming more and more aware of the cruelty of fighting for the path to immortality.
"Next, according to your ranking, we will distribute disciple tokens, cultivation materials, and arrange accommodation. The first place in the spiritual path, Lu Nazhi, will enter the inner gate..."
