The group continued up the steps.
Until after crossing another six hundred and sixty-six steps.
They finally arrived at the ethereal hall.
Standing close, you can see the vastness of this hall.
The entrance door alone is over a thousand feet high and hundreds of feet wide.
In short, if you line up the top ten tallest buildings in the world and fill them in, you won't be able to fill this door.
As for the walls on both sides of the main entrance, they continue to extend towards the end of the field of vision, with no edges visible at a glance.
Standing in front of this huge fairy palace that is beyond the reach of human beings, people will only feel their own insignificance.
From this, we can better appreciate the strength of Master Zhang Xian.
For a time, many people's faces showed a look of fanaticism.
Even Cao Bin and Kong Jinting had shock on their faces and could not speak for a long time.
Everyone has the same idea in their hearts, that is, they must win the inheritance of the Immortal Master!
The old man in white seemed very satisfied when he saw the expressions on everyone's faces.
He waved his hand fiercely, and an invisible force fell on everyone.
The next second, everyone was in the hall, scattered everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, the voice of the old man in white rumbled from all directions:
"This hall is called the Chaos Labyrinth, and it is where the second test is held.
Of all the candidates who enter the maze, only the top twelve who can escape the maze will be admitted.
Or when the number of candidates is less than thirteen, the test ends and everyone is admitted.
In addition, those who want to give up will be sent directly outside the secret realm. "
After the words fell, the hall fell into silence for a moment.
Everyone was thinking about the rules told by the old man in white.
It is easy to understand that only the first twelve people who can escape the maze are admitted.
That is to say, those who pass the level are admitted in order, and the speed of passing the level is compared.
But the existence of the second rule is very interesting.
When the number of candidates is less than thirteen, all will be admitted.
In other words, there is absolutely no need to look for the maze exit.
As long as there are only twelve people left, the second round of the test will automatically end.
For many practitioners who are unwilling to use their brains, this is undoubtedly a better way to pass the level.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became turbulent and tense.
At the same time, Su Mo slowly looked around.
What appeared in front of me was a narrow alley.
The floors and walls are all paved with white bricks and stones, exuding a faint fluorescence, giving it a feeling of radioactive minerals.
The alley does not look high, only three meters high, and it seems that any practitioner can jump over it.
Su Mo tried to jump up, but the wall of the alley suddenly jumped up.
Good guy, are you so smart?
He did not challenge the extreme height anymore, but stretched out his hand to poke at the wall of the alley.
Level 4 power is useless.
Level 5 power barely cracked it.
Level 6 power completely penetrated.
Obviously, this wall also has its endurance limit.
But when he stopped destroying, the wall began to repair itself and soon became intact.
Su Mo roughly estimated the endurance level of this chaotic maze.
At this time, a worried inquiry suddenly came from the side:
"Will Yingzhen and An Qi be okay?"
Only then did Su Mo look at Jiang Mingyan, who was near him.
Maybe it's because of being in this dangerous maze.
In addition, friends are scattered around, and there are potential enemies everywhere.
So that Jiang Mingyan, who had always seemed calm and mature, now had a sad face and looked quite panicked.
When Su Mo saw it, he smiled and comforted him.
:
"Don't worry, I've planted marks on them all, they'll be fine."
"That's good."
Jiang Mingyan felt relieved a little and did not doubt Su Mo's ability.
But soon her expression became suspicious again:
"Then you planted it on me too?"
"certainly."
Su Mo replied confidently:
"What if something unexpected happens?"
Jiang Mingyan twisted her body, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, her expression was quite uncomfortable, as if there were a few bugs crawling on her body.
Seeing this, Su Mo said considerately:
"If you're not happy with it, I'll take the mark back."
"Better say goodbye."
Jiang Mingyan hesitated slightly.
Then he said with a small face:
"But you can't use it when I don't want to."
Su Mo was helpless:
"When is the time when you don't want to?"
Jiang Mingyan's cold and pretty face suddenly turned red, and she muttered:
"Just when it's inconvenient..."
Su Mo thought for a while, with a look of understanding in his eyes:
"I understand, let's go to the bathroom!"
Jiang Mingyan had an expression on her face that said her IQ was up to par.
Su Mo couldn't help but frown slightly and said in deep thought:
"But this is not very easy to operate. What if I reach out my senses to check and find you going to the toilet?"
After thinking for a while, he suggested:
"How about this, let's agree on a time to go to the bathroom.
For example, you can set a time every morning, noon or evening.
As long as during that time, I will never reach out to check your situation. "
"I choose eight o'clock in the evening."
Jiang Mingyan quickly replied.
"How long does it last?"
"fifteen minutes."
Su Mo reminded hesitantly:
"You'll get hemorrhoids if you squat for too long."
"Leave me alone!"
Jiang Mingyan rolled her eyes.
"Okay, that's settled."
Su Mo didn’t hesitate:
"I will never go to you from eight to eight fifteen every night, no matter how much your brand fluctuates."
Jiang Mingyan nodded, finally feeling relieved, but she felt something was wrong.
Suddenly, she realized:
"I almost forgot, there's also a shower!"
Su Mo responded solemnly:
"Tell me, when?"
"Eight-fifteen to eight-thirty!"
Su Mo raised his eyebrows fiercely:
"You take a shower immediately after using the toilet. Doesn't the bathroom stink?"
Jiang Mingyan's face turned red and she vehemently retorted:
"I have six bathrooms in my house!"
"Okay, I'm short-sighted."
Su Mo shrugged helplessly:
"Then it's settled. Just be careful not to encounter any crisis in that half hour."
Jiang Mingyan looked decisive:
"Even if I die within that half hour, I will never call you!"
Su Mo thought to himself, that's hard to say, true fragrance is one of the four laws of human beings. Z.br>
Just as he was thinking about it, footsteps suddenly came from ahead.
It seemed that because they stopped talking, the footsteps on the opposite side also stopped.
Immediately, a figure suddenly turned out of the alley.
It was the burly Masonic president, Xue Kuang, who was holding a long knife.
Seeing Su Mo and Jiang Mingyan, Xue Kuang, who was full of vigilance, was obviously relieved.
Then the vigilance turned into a joke, and he said with a smile:
"It seems that God has favored me after all. I have encountered two novices here, one is level 1 and the other is level 3. Are you going to give up and admit defeat, or will you be kicked out on the spot by me?"
Su Mo said speechlessly:
"Although I appreciate your confidence, you really don't use it in the right place."
Xue Kuang clenched the long knife and sneered:
"Let's see how stubborn you still are in three seconds!"
Three seconds later.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die! Spare my life! My lord, my arm is about to be broken!"
Xue Kuang folded his arms behind his back and wailed miserably.
As for his stainless steel sword, it had long been turned into fragments.
Su Mo didn't bother to pay attention to him and kicked him in the butt, completely kicking him out of the secret realm.
"Let's go."
Su Mo clapped his hands and continued walking forward with Jiang Mingyan, who admired her in her heart but would never admit it.
the other side.
Also in a white floodlit alley.
Zhou Jiantai and Xu Anqi were facing off against a voluptuous policewoman not far away.
Looking at Zhou Jiantai and his two men who were wary, Liu Ci, the president of the Flower God Society, smiled lightly and said:
"I didn't expect to meet two casual cultivators. It seems I'm pretty lucky."
Zhou Jiantai asked in a deep voice:
"Are you ready to fight us? There are so many people in this maze, it's not like you can survive until the end by defeating just one or two.
Not to mention that you and I are both level 4 in strength. In the end, it is likely that both sides will suffer losses, and it will only allow outsiders to take advantage.
I guess the famous president of the Flora Society wouldn't be that stupid, right? "
"You do know how to talk."
Liu Ci smiled slightly and said:
"But this alone is far from convincing me. Who told you to carry a level 1 oil bottle with you?"
Hearing this, Xu Anqi bit her lip and suddenly clenched her fists.
After hearing this, Zhou Jiantai calmly replied:
"Whether it's a drag or not is hard to say. If we both lose, the guy next to me will be the straw that breaks the camel's back."
"I didn't expect you to be so confident."
Liu Ci smiled and said:
"Actually, I'm not a fighting fanatic. I want to fight with people all day long, not to mention that in such a dangerous environment, I may accidentally encounter powerful opponents like Cao Bin and Kong Jinting.
How about this, how about you and I joining forces to explore this maze together? "
Speaking of this, she suddenly became sentimental again:
"It's a pity that I am too sensitive and can never trust others.
If you are willing to let me plant the Seal of the Flower God, I believe that you will not betray me in the alliance.
Of course, no matter whether I pass this test or not, I will remove the mark.
With my reputation as the president of the Flower God Society, you shouldn’t have any doubts, right? "
Zhou Jiantai said coldly:
"If you want to fight, then fight. Where's all the nonsense and nonsense about the Mark of the Goddess of Flowers? Save it for those cats and dogs!"
The smile on Liu Ci's face suddenly froze.
Immediately he sighed and said:
"Then there's nothing we can do. I hope you can hold on for a while longer."
As she said that, she immediately swept forward at an extremely fast speed.
Zhou Jiantai did not hesitate, and faced him head-on, and the battle broke out instantly.
In another alley two kilometers away from here.
There was no sound of fighting at all.
Xu Sixue and Han Yingzhen looked at an imperial sister not far away, their expressions equally solemn.
The person Gain appeared in front of them was none other than a big wave wearing a purple dress.
It was Kong Jinting, one of the two envoys of the Magician Alliance.
As the only two fifth-level members on the surface, Kong Jinting and Cao Bin are afraid that all the casual cultivators in the maze will be affected.
An opponent you don’t want to meet.
But at this moment, they were unlucky enough to encounter this natural enemy of the casual cultivator.
Looking at Kong Jinting who looked calm across from him, Xu Sixue felt extremely painful.
He glanced at Han Yingzhen, who had a dull expression next to him, and asked bravely:
"May I ask Inspector Kong, have you ever heard of the Treasure Pavilion in the black market?"
Kong Jinting's face showed a little surprise, she nodded slightly and said:
"If you are talking about the Treasure Pavilion, which sells and recycles rare items on the black market, I have not only heard of it, but I have also gone in and made transactions."
When Xu Sixue heard this, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face:
"Great! To be honest, I, Xu Sixue, am the clerk of Zhenbao Pavilion, and the store manager, Lu Zongping, is my boss. You can confirm this with the people around you."
"so what?"
Kong Jinting asked calmly.
The smile on Xu Sixue's face froze slightly, and he said with a slight guilt:
"Why don't you let us go now because Mr. Lu has done too much with you?"
Kong Jinting shook her head and said:
"not enough."
Xu Sixue said blankly:
"What?"
"Not enough status, not enough strength, not enough advantages."
Kong Jinting explained in a calm tone:
"If it was Lu Zongping who appeared here, or you were the leader of the Peace House, and the person next to you was also at the peak of level 4, then I would consider whether to take action against you.
But now that you haven't met any of the conditions, I can only ask you to leave.
After all, the number of clearance places here is limited. If there are fewer casual cultivators, the number of people in our alliance will naturally increase.
As the alliance's envoy, it is my duty to safeguard the interests of the alliance. "
As she spoke, Kong Jinting took out a flute that looked like it was made of jasper.
Seeing the flute, Xu Sixue's expression changed drastically, he threw out a hidden weapon and shouted urgently:
"let's go!"
As soon as the words finished here, the clear sound of the flute sounded.
In a deserted alley somewhere.
A young man with a square head and big ears and a dull expression suddenly said to the wall:
"My puppet, I am following the instructions of Mr. Muxiang and come to visit Mr. Mirage. If you can hear me, please make it easier."
The alley was quiet for a while, until the puppet began to wonder if the mirage was here, when a big hole suddenly melted out of the wall in front of him.
A stiff smile appeared on the young man's face and he stepped inside.
And just after he entered, the big hole immediately disappeared and returned to its original state.
After a while, four people quickly entered the alleyway.
Gu Anyu, the leader of the Snake Cave, who was lucky enough to find three subordinates, is preparing to quickly launch a search to find several other subordinates.
When they finish gathering at the Snake Cave, as long as they don't run into that scary delivery man, no one in this huge maze can be their opponent.
Not even the two patrols from the Magician Alliance!
Just as Gu Anyu was confidently thinking about leading his team through the level, a child with a gloomy face walked out from the corner.
Gu Anyu paused, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
On the contrary, Cao Bin, who was opposite him, slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
The sound of heavy rumbling footsteps kept coming.
The man in the gray vest, Jiang Guang, was like a tank, rampaging through the maze.
Every time it seemed like he was about to hit the wall, he could always avoid it with great agility.
At this moment, four eyes suddenly appeared on his face.
Under both eyes, each has an extra eye.
At first glance, it looks like the eyes are overlapping.
And his strength has also recovered from level 4 to level 5.
The speed was extremely fast.
As a result, several casual cultivators were arrested before they had time to check.
It shattered instantly and turned into flesh and blood on the ground.
And Jiang Guang is still moving forward.
He revealed his illusion-breaking eyes and recovered part of his strength, mainly to find the exit of the maze.
Although killing people is simple, if someone finds the exit in advance, twelve people will be the first to clear the level.
No matter how many and brutally the remaining people are killed, it is meaningless.
If you don't understand this and just kill each other in the maze, if you are eliminated in the second test, you are asking for it.
Of course, in the process of finding the exit of the maze, it can be said that it is natural to kill some competitors.
With the help of the Eye of Disillusionment, he quickly found the route to the exit of the maze.
However, just as he was about to approach the exit of the maze, two figures suddenly walked out of the alley on the left.
Jiang Guang reflexively wanted to run over the opponent.
Thirty meters!
Twenty meters!
Ten meters!
Jiang Guang suddenly stopped.
Look at the not very broad back in front of you.
All the hairs on his body exploded.
At this moment, his heart was filled with an unimaginable sense of crisis.
The Eye of Disillusionment almost burst in pain.
Su Mo turned around.
Jiang Guang howled miserably and gave up on the spot.
Seeing him being expelled from the secret realm, Su Mo could only sigh that this guy's perception was really sharp.
Just as he was thinking about it, the surrounding brick walls seemed to melt and quickly disappeared.
Even the huge palace buildings were destroyed on the spot like phantoms.
Then the voice of the old man in white came over immediately:
"Congratulations to all of you for successfully passing the second round of tests."
As the words fell.
The misty fog all around disappeared.
The location of the palace became a huge platform.
The old man in white stood at the edge of the platform, looking at them with a smile.
As for everyone on the field, many opponents who were still fighting have stopped.
Kong Jinting looked at Xu Sixue, who was squatting on the ground with a painful look on his face, and then at Han Yingzhen, who looked like a normal person, and said with surprise:
"What's going on with you? Why is the Formation Flute useless to you at all?"
Han Yingzhen replied with the same confusion:
"I don't know if you ask me. Maybe your weapon is not powerful enough?"
Kong Jinting looked incredulous:
"You think my magical weapon is not powerful enough?"
"Yingzhen, it's great that you're okay!"
Before Han Yingzhen could answer, Jiang Mingyan pounced on him.
Kong Jinting looked at her deeply, and then walked towards her side.
Su Mo helped Xu Sixue up and asked:
"Are you okay?"
Xu Sixue turned pale and replied with a wry smile:
"It's probably like being tortured by a tone-deaf person for a month. It won't kill anyone, but it's certainly uncomfortable enough."
"As long as you can't die."
Su Mo smiled slightly.
Xu Sixue wondered:
"Why am I so unlucky? It's not good to meet anyone, but when I meet that guy, I can't even escape."
"Do you think it's only level 5 that's difficult to deal with here?"
Zhou Jiantai came over with Xu Anqi, also looking very exhausted.
Xu Sixue said in surprise:
"Who did you meet?"
Zhou Jiantai curled his lips towards the *** figure not far away:
"Other than the president of the Flower God Society, who else could be there?"
"Ah, that's great!"
Xu Sixue almost drooled when he looked at the bumpy figure:
"If I accidentally bumped into something during the battle, it wouldn't be considered a hooligan, right?
?
And since they are at the same level as you, there won’t be a huge gap between me and Kong Jinting.
You must have enjoyed a lot of benefits during the battle, right? "
At the end of the sentence, the expression on Xu Sixue's face turned to envy.
The black line on Zhou Jiantai’s forehead:
"You guys will die under a woman's skirt sooner or later!"
Xu Sixue thought for a while, nodded and said:
"If it's under the skirt, that's not bad."
Zhou Jiantai was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Stepping closer to Su Mo, he whispered:
"Master Su, there seems to be something wrong with Liu Ci, the president of the Flower God Society."
"I know."
Su Mo smiled slightly and said meaningfully:
"She's not the only one with problems."
Seeing that Su Mo already knew, Zhou Jiantai said no more.
At this time, the other passers on the field also looked at the remaining people.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it.
The candidates who entered the second level were eliminated until only the last twelve people remained.
Among these twelve people, six fully belong to the same group.
Among the remaining six people, Cao Bin, Kong Jinting and others belong to the Magician Alliance, while Liu Ci and others belong to the Flower God Society.
This comparison is even more surprising.
Other organizations, as powerful as the Magician Alliance, have lost most of their power.
Casual cultivating groups like the Flower God Society suffered heavy losses.
The Freemasonry and the Snake Cave were completely wiped out, with no one left.
On the contrary, the six people like Su Mo looked ordinary, and there were even Level 1 and Level 2 candidates among them who seemed to be joking.
But he just stayed.
In addition to enough luck, there must also be unknown secrets involved.
For a time, the other six people were all extremely wary of this group.
There is still one last test left. If it is a group battle, no matter what, they must be eliminated first.
And just when everyone on the field was thinking, the old man in white slowly announced the final level:
"This third test is very simple. There is still the last section of the ladder left. This section of the ladder tests your heart for the Tao.
The journey of cultivating Taoism is extremely difficult. Even if you can gain strength and achieve life evolution, few people can withstand the long years of hard training. Only a firm Taoist heart can survive thousands of tribulations and avoid many temptations in the world.
Whoever has the strongest heart to follow the Tao will be able to go the farthest on the ladder to heaven. All those who reach the top will receive the Zixiao True Seal and become the core successors selected by our Zixiao Sect. "
Upon hearing the third round rules announced by the old man in white, the originally tense atmosphere on the field instantly collapsed.
Liu Ci, Cao Bin and others all looked at each other in confusion.
They never expected that the rules of the third round would be like this.
Since this round is testing the mysterious and mysterious Taoist heart, there is no point in getting rid of others first.
After all, even if you kill everyone, you may not be able to reach the top.
Moreover, fighting will inevitably bring about consumption. Maybe you could reach the top originally, but after experiencing the battle, you may not be able to.
For a time, everyone came to the jade-white steps in an obedient manner, preparing to face this last round of tests.
Liu Ci looked at the looming end point in the sky, with unprecedented longing in his eyes.
Su Mo also looked at the sky.
The difference is that what he is looking at is the figure standing at the end.
And the divine light radiating faintly behind that figure.
