Changsheng: I have been in Jiaofang Division for thousands of years

Howling!

Scolding!

There was confusion in the crowd.

But no matter how people scolded the sky for being unfair, Master Zhangkong ignored it, and just stood on top of the big fish, waiting for qualified people to climb up the ladder.

Soon one by one young people, under the envious eyes of the people, passed through the barrier of invisible forces and came to the ladder.

These people are older, they are all seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger ones are just little bean sprouts.

They were excited, proud, or naive, and climbed up the ladder one by one.

However, in the crowd, there were also two people who seemed to be independent, they were Zhao Mu and Zhou Yuniang.

Although the two of them looked very young in appearance, they couldn't hide the vicissitudes of life in their eyes.

Sun Miaoniang and Chi Huo followed.

Zhou Yuniang waved her hand: "Go ahead, you will have to go the rest of the way on your own, don't let your elders' expectations down."

"is teacher."

Sun Miaoniang and Chi Huo looked at each other, then followed the others and walked up the ladder.

"I heard that Sun Miaoniang looked for you alone a month ago?" Zhou Yuniang looked at Zhao Mu with playful eyes.

"Sure enough, in that palace, nothing can be hidden from you." Zhao Mu smiled.

Zhou Yuniang sighed: "Hey, that girl was eccentric and very cute when she was young. I didn't expect her thoughts to become more and more complicated when she grew up. She always wanted others to take special care of her, and she also liked to plot people. After stepping into the fairy gate like this, How to concentrate on cultivation?"

Zhao Mu smiled and shook his head: "I'm about to go to a strange place, it's normal to feel anxious and want to find someone to rely on, but if you have a complex mind and a city, you can live longer, isn't it great?"

"What's more, the two of us, who doesn't have a complicated mind? The important thing is that she must understand that things like calculations have to be used on outsiders, and some methods are absolutely unusable on her own people, otherwise she will really Becoming alone."

"Okay, let's go up the ladder, and we'll talk about the future."

"Well, I hope she can understand this truth."

Zhou Yuniang shook her head lightly, and followed Zhao Mu up the ladder.

As soon as he stepped on the ladder, Zhao Mu suddenly felt a strange force coming, penetrating into his body and instantly circulating his limbs.

He could feel that this power was testing the purity of the spiritual roots, and as he went up step by step, more and more power penetrated into his body.

Zhao Mu glanced around, and found that people were being rolled up by the golden light and sent to the bottom of the ladder from time to time.

Those people should all have failed the spiritual root test.

"Fortunately, although my spiritual root is condensed the day after tomorrow, it should be pure enough, but I don't know how far it is compared to these people?"

Zhao Mu thought to himself.

Over the years, he has gradually discovered that the acquired spirit root has a drawback.

That is because it is not natural condensation, so the artificial traces are relatively heavy, and it will never be perfect.

Zhao Mu's acquired spiritual roots may be stronger than some mixed innate spiritual roots in terms of aptitude, but he will never be able to rank among the top geniuses.

Of course, there are no absolutes in the world. In fact, there are still a small number of people with acquired spiritual roots, whose cultivation talent is no worse than that of top-level innate spiritual roots.

For example, Zhou Yuniang is like this.

Zhou Yuniang's acquired spiritual roots were condensed with the help of the fortunes of the Great Jin Dynasty.

In particular, she was the first emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty to condense the spiritual root of Houtian, so she naturally contained the fortune of a dynasty in her body.

Because of this, even though her spiritual root is also not perfect, with the help of her powerful national fortune, her cultivation talent is not inferior to the top innate spiritual root at all.

Of course, Zhao Mu was not jealous of this.

Because his greatest advantage has never been talent, but endless years.

As long as you live long enough, there is nothing in this world that cannot be obtained.

But when he enters the world of cultivating immortals where there are countless powerful people, he probably will return to the state where Gou Dao is king.

"Don't fight for a day's gain or loss, only fight for the cause and effect of the world!"

"Steady and low-key, avoid fighting and fighting!"

"Hehe, I really miss the days of plotting people behind my back."

Zhao Mu secretly laughed in his heart.

Chapter 125 Heading to the Ziwei Daomen

The selection of the ladder is divided into three stages.

When they first climbed the ladder, the selection was based on the purity of their spiritual roots, and those who failed to meet the standard were all swept away by the golden light without exception.

At the same time, there was an invisible pressure on the ladder.

This kind of pressure is extremely targeted, people with good cultivation talents will not feel too strong a sense of pressure, and can walk on the ladder normally.

But people with poor talent will feel an amazing sense of oppression, so that the speed of climbing the ladder is getting slower and slower.

Even those with unqualified talents will gradually become unable to take a step under the pressure, and will be swept away by the golden light in the end, losing the qualification to climb to the top.

And the selection in the middle of the ladder is the degree of fit between the physical body and the aura of heaven and earth.

The purity of the spiritual root determines whether you can attract more spiritual energy into your body.

And the degree of fit between the physical body and the aura determines how much you can fuse and absorb the received aura from the heavens and the earth.

If the proportion of fusion is not high, no matter how much spiritual energy is attracted, it is of no use. In the end, it will just circle around in the body and then escape again.

Of the thousands of young people with spiritual roots, less than half were able to reach the middle of the ladder, and the rest were sent back to the ground.

As for the upper part of the ladder, the selection is based on state of mind and understanding.

There are only a few hundred people who can walk here, but as they continue to climb the ladder, there are still people who are continuously swept up by the golden light and sent down the ladder.

Only those with a strong enough mentality and a high enough understanding can pass this final selection.

At the same time, the invisible pressure pervading the ladder is still oppressing everyone, so that the gap in the speed of climbing the ladder is getting wider and wider.

Zhou Yuniang took the lead and walked in front of everyone.

Apparently, she, who once had the fortune of the country, was considered by Tianti to have a talent for cultivation, which was far superior to other people.

After Zhou Yuniang, there are Sun Miaoniang, Chi Huo and several other young people.

Zhao Mu, on the other hand, was among the group of people further behind.

It seems that although he relied on "Six Paths of the Gate of Heaven" to condense the acquired spiritual roots, his talent can only be regarded as above-average, far below the top level.

However, compared to those around him, Zhao Mu was on the top of the ladder, and he walked the most steadily.

This last stage tests the state of mind and understanding, so there are all kinds of illusions that confuse the heart all the time.

Bewildered by the illusion, other people's expressions are sometimes bewildered, greedy, and stupid. The speed of climbing the ladder is also fast and slow, and even once they stop, they will be swept away by the golden light.

Obviously one by one, the mood is not stable.

But Zhao Mu's speed of climbing the ladder was always stable, and even the expression on his face was always calm.

It was as if all the hallucinations created by the ladder had no effect on him at all.

At this moment, at the top of the ladder, Zhou Yuniang had already stepped onto the big fish first.

"Meet the Taoist priest."

Zhou Yuniang saluted the real person in the sky respectfully.

"Hehe, congratulations, Miss, who is the first to pass the selection and become a disciple of my Ziwei Daomen."

Changkong real person smiled and said: "The girl is full of national luck, it seems that she is the empress of the Great Jin Dynasty. The poor Taoist sees that the true energy in your body has turned into mana, but what kind of immortal skills have you practiced?"

"Don't dare to lie to Daoist Priest, I have indeed cultivated a copy of the "Ziji Heart Sutra."

Zhou Yuniang didn't hide anything, and simply told the story of the black flood dragon and the turtle spirit many years ago.

"How courageous, you dared to go to the mortal country, but it's a pity that Pindao couldn't come back at that time, otherwise his dog's head would have been cut off."

Daoist Changkong snorted coldly.

"Thank you, Daoist, for being sympathetic to me and other mortals."

"There's nothing to be sympathetic to or not. Aren't poor people also cultivated by mortals. If you can't protect your fellow clan, you still have to cultivate a fart."

Reverend Changkong said as a matter of course: "By the way, don't practice the "Ziji Heart Sutra" in the future. The magic power condensed in that exercise is too complicated, which is not conducive to your future achievements. When you return to the Ziwei Daomen, you will naturally have better exercises. law to you."

"Yes, Daoist, the disciple obeys."

Zhou Yuniang agreed quietly.

At this time, Sun Miaoniang, Chi Huo and several other young people also came up.

They came up one by one to salute the real person in the sky.

Master Changkong laughed and said: "Everyone, don't be nervous, Pindao has always taken a fancy to my descendants of the human race, so just feel free."

"What's your name for this little brother?" He walked up to Chi Huo, who had a strong figure, and asked.

Chi Huo patted his head, hehe smiled and said, "Master Daoist, my name is Chi Huo."

Foodie?

Daoist Changkong was taken aback for a moment, the name is so good, the poor are hungry.

He didn't make fun of it, but patted Chi Huo on the shoulder: "You are born with a pure heart, yes, your steadfastness of heart should rank third among all people."

"Thank you for the compliment, hehe, they always say I'm stupid." Chi Huohan smiled.

"You are not stupid, on the contrary, you are very smart. It's just that you don't like to spend your mind on some meaningless things. The so-called great wisdom is nothing more than that."

"Daoist, you said that Chi Huo's xinxing is stable and can be ranked third, so who are the first and second?"

Sun Miaoniang asked suddenly, and the others looked over curiously.

"Secondly, it is naturally your Majesty the Empress."

Master Changkong pointed at Zhou Yuniang: "The Great Jin Dynasty respected men, but she was able to ascend to the throne as a woman. If she didn't have a firm and stable heart, how could she do such a thing, as for the number one..."

His eyes turned to Zhao Mu who was still on the ladder, walking step by step: "Who is that?"

"Master Dao, that's my junior brother, Chu Ying."

Zhou Yuniang introduced: "In terms of cultivation and strength, he should be considered the strongest person in our Jin Dynasty."

"Cultivation strength is not important. In this mortal country, no matter how strong your cultivation base is, how strong can it be? Pindao pays more attention to heart."

Master Changkong shook his head and said: "The phantom on the upper part of the ladder cannot be resisted by a strong cultivation base. When all of you walk up, you will more or less have mood swings, but from this Chu Ying's face, you can see Has your expression changed in the slightest?"

Everyone stared and found that the expression on Zhao Mu's face was really calm all the time.

"Among mortals, there are only a handful of people who can resist the illusion of the ladder. I didn't expect to be bumped into one by Pindao today."

"Cultivation in the immortal way requires talent, opportunity, and character. Don't think that this person's cultivation talent is inferior to yours, but with his character, his future achievements may not be lower than yours."

"It's just that Pindao is very strange. A mortal lives in a hurry for a hundred years, and his knowledge and experience are limited after all. How did he hone such a mind?"

Daoist Changkong said doubtfully.

Two hours later, most of the remaining people on the ladder were also swept down by the golden light.

In the end, out of the thousands of people with spiritual roots, there are only more than 30 who can really climb the big fish.

These people are the top talents in the Jin Dynasty.

Daoist Changkong waved his hand and put away the ladder: "Okay, everyone stand firm, next, we should go to Ziwei Daomen."

The big fish's huge tail swung, and its body quickly moved away from the capital, flying all the way to the west.

Everyone stood on the back of the big fish, staring at their homeland involuntarily.

They knew that if they left today, they might not be able to come back for tens of hundreds of years, or even thousands of years.

So the feeling of reluctance arises spontaneously in my heart.

"Junior brother, do you think we can come back?" Zhou Yuniang asked quietly.

"I will come back, just wait for us to come back. I am afraid that the sea has changed, and it is even possible that the Great Jin Dynasty has ceased to exist."

Zhao Mu's tone was calm.
