Even Leng Yue has already climbed to the seventh floor.
Seeing that they were being left far behind, the others panicked and immediately rushed frantically towards the second step.
Then, once they reached the second floor, their expressions changed.
Suddenly I felt the world spinning around me, and I almost lost my balance and fell straight down.
"careful!"
"Hold on!"
"These steps are so strange!"
Although these people were not used to it at first, they quickly calmed down and stood firm after a short while. Then, the six of them looked at each other and their expressions gradually changed.
They are no longer on the same side.
Now that you've reached this level, you have to rely on your own abilities to keep climbing.
Everything else is meaningless.
"snort!"
One person snorted coldly, stepped onto the third level, swayed slightly, but quickly regained his balance and continued upwards.
After getting used to the strange staircase, it wasn't too difficult at first, and the people continued to climb upwards one by one.
"Huh? Lu Chen is nowhere to be seen?"
"Did he fall down?"
"How could that be? If it were going to fall, wouldn't we see it?"
"Isn't that woman still there?"
At this moment, Leng Yue had climbed to the tenth floor and stood where Lu Chen had stood. She was covered in sweat and felt extremely exhausted.
But at this moment, Lu Chen could no longer see him.
Above the twentieth level of these stairs, there is a cloud of mist, obscuring the view of what lies beyond.
Lu Chen was now stopped on the twenty-third floor, his body swaying gently to maintain his balance. In this state, Lu Chen actually felt very comfortable.
"It seems there's a hidden meaning behind these steps!"
Lu Chen gradually figured out some tricks. The unstable center of gravity on these steps was inexplicably irresistible, and one could only adapt to it. This gave Lu Chen a kind of enlightenment.
He suddenly opened his eyes, a confident smile appearing on his face.
Then, he stepped directly onto the twenty-fourth step, swayed for a moment, and then stood firm. Although it seemed very strenuous, he ultimately did not fall.
"Indeed, this is an influence of a specific domain. It seems my initial thought was correct!"
Lu Chen had always felt that there was a mysterious power on these steps that was influencing the transformation of space. This feeling was like when he was suddenly transported to another place in the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.
"field?"
Lu Chen seemed to have realized something.
At this moment, atop a towering mountain, a group of people are looking down with expressions of awe.
These people were all high-ranking members of the Xuanwu Academy. They were watching the eight participants. Among them, Lu Chen was undoubtedly the most outstanding. At first, everyone thought it was normal.
After all, they had witnessed Lu Chen's strength firsthand.
Although they couldn't see it very clearly, Lu Chen's realm was at the Venerable Realm level, which was determined by the amount of energy in a person's body. However, when they saw Lu Chen rush up to the twentieth step in one breath, they were no longer calm.
"This child is truly a prodigy!"
"Our Xuanwu Academy has really struck gold this time!"
"Let's see how far he can climb on the ladder to heaven!"
These jade steps are called the Heavenly Ladder in the Xuanwu Academy. All newly initiated disciples can climb them, but how far they can go depends on their own fate.
Of course, the higher you climb, the better your talent and the stronger your ability.
The four branches of Zhenwu Academy, as well as its headquarters, all have a ladder leading to the heavens.
The Heavenly Ladder has 999 floors. It is said that after reaching the top, one's cultivation will be all-powerful and all-powerful. Of course, this is just a legend, and no one has ever been heard of climbing the Heavenly Ladder.
Lu Chen had just entered the sect, yet he was able to ascend to the twenty-fourth floor in one fell swoop, which astonished all the experts present.
"Let's see just how high he can climb!"
"Apart from that little girl, none of the other people seem particularly outstanding!"
"During the first trial of the Hidden Dragon Realm, these two were the most outstanding!"
Qingsong appeared before these people with a respectful expression. After speaking, he looked at Lu Chen and Leng Yue, feeling a little excited.
This time, I presided over the new disciple initiation trial, which means that when this batch of disciples officially join the Xuanwu Academy, they are very likely to be defeated by my own disciples.
Having such a talented apprentice is a source of great pride.
Moreover, having such a talented disciple will undoubtedly lead to a bright future, which will also be of great benefit to oneself.
At the very least, his master benefited from it.
However, Qingsong suddenly thought of the elders beside him, and his expression changed slightly.
It seems unlikely that such a good thing would fall into my lap. What if these senior uncles and elders took a liking to Lu Chen and accepted him as their closed-door disciple with just a word? Then I would be Lu Chen's peer.
Moreover, judging from the expressions on the faces of these senior disciples, such a thing is very likely to happen.
Right now, these elders are still curious about just how far Lu Chen can go.
At this moment, apart from Lu Chen and Leng Yue, the other six people finally climbed to the tenth step, but they were unsteady and teetering on the verge of falling.
They looked extremely strained; they hadn't yet grasped the secret of the steps and were still struggling against their own strength.
The more they do this, the less progress they make.
