On the stone steps leading to heaven, three talented cultivators were either sitting or standing, and none of them chose to move on.

Because if you get first place, you will become the chief disciple of this generation and be taught directly by the master.

Under normal circumstances, since only the chief disciple can receive personal instruction from the head of Kunlun, the rest of the disciples can only be taught by the chief disciple on behalf of the master, so everyone often works hard for this spot, and even fights for it.

However, nowadays no one wants to be the chief disciple.

Only the headmaster can learn the "Nine Heavens Pure Land Realm Mantra"? Sorry, Elder Chang Geng also knows it, and sooner or later he will become the headmaster and teach us.

Even with the favor that Master Ziwei has for Elder Chang Geng, even if he were to teach us now, Master Ziwei would probably turn a blind eye!

But Elder Chang Geng's first-grade immortal infant, his clear mind of Taoism, and his extraordinary combat power... are all things that Master Ziwei does not possess.

Become a disciple of Master Ziwei, become the junior brother or sister of Elder Changgeng, and then compete with him for the position of the next master? Impossible.

But if you become a disciple of Elder Chang Geng, you will be qualified to compete for the next headmaster...

There were so many benefits, so no one wanted to be the chief disciple. They just wanted to grab the second place and then nominate Elder Chang Geng to be his senior brother or sister, so much so that they all pretended to be exhausted and could not walk anymore.

The road to heaven is adjacent to the sky, and will naturally be affected by the magic sound of the devil.

The three chose to stop, but they would also take a huge risk. As the demonic sound continued to invade their minds, their laziness would become more and more serious, and they might never be able to stand up again.

But in order to become the "Limited Edition Chief Disciple of Elder Chang Geng", the three of them just silently fought against Huanyin, with no intention of getting up.

Xu Yinglian suppressed the sword light, stared at the three young men, frowned and said:

"Why not?"

"Grandma." Xu Jin said calmly, "Take a rest for a while, and we'll go again later."

Xu Yinglian looked at her, then at Luo Chuan and Ge Juan, and a kind of absurd emotion arose in his heart.

She was very smart, so of course it was impossible for her not to guess the intention of the three people doing this. She just thought it was too outrageous - when did the title of chief disciple become so worthless?

However, the Kunlun Sect rules did not prohibit stopping on the way to heaven, so Xu Yinglian could only shake his head and sigh, and continue patrolling along the mountain road.

As the first echelon collectively lay down, the second echelon soon arrived about a hundred steps away from the finish line.

Seeing the three people staying where they were, the six or seven people were startled at first, then happy, and then stunned again.

The reason for being surprised was that everyone knew there were three people ahead, yet they were all staying where they were and not moving. It was extremely strange.

Xi subconsciously thought, as long as I surpass them, won’t I be able to get the title of chief disciple?

There were many reasons for being stunned. Some smart ones immediately thought that the chief disciple was not as good as Chang Geng's disciple, and getting the title of first was actually a burden. As for the rest of the people, although they did not think of this, they noticed that the three people in front did not show any signs of fatigue, and they could all realize that the reason they stopped moving forward was not because they could not walk anymore.

Why is that? Is there a hidden air wall in front of you that will kill you instantly if you hit it?

With such an uneasy mood, which was amplified by the devil's phantom sound, the people in the second echelon also hesitated and dared not move forward.

When the news reached the main hall of Kunlun, there was an uproar again.

The elders really couldn't have imagined that after the first echelon performed poorly at the finish line, the second echelon would also suffer!

Although no one knows what the "broken window effect" is, everyone knows that the demonic sound at that location is the strongest.

The longer you stay, the higher the probability of sinking, and the lower the probability of completing the journey to heaven.

If the two major echelons are stuck here, and the people following behind stop in their tracks, resulting in no one in this session completing the journey to heaven, then Kunlun's opening ceremony will truly become a joke!

Everyone quickly turned their eyes to Qiu Changtian.

Qiu Changtian was also puzzled: Why are they looking at me? Can I tell them to leave quickly?

Go see Master!

Sect Leader Ziwei coughed, attracting everyone's attention, and he felt mixed emotions.

Although his disciple had taken away all the honor and glory of the opening ceremony, he did not feel unhappy.

Face? Being able to cultivate a Kunlun cultivator as powerful as Chang Geng is the greatest face for him, the head of Ziwei Sect!

Now it seems that Chang Geng, who has formed a first-grade immortal infant, is likely to become the strongest sect leader in the history of Kunlun Taiqing Sect... You know, even the immortal Chisong's Nascent Soul grade was not even at the immortal infant level!

Although he, the Ziwei Sect Leader, is quite powerful, compared with all the previous Sect Leaders of Kunlun, he is not worthy of the title of the strongest. But isn't it a good thing to be the master of the strongest Sect Leader?

As for the inside, there is no need to mention it.

The headmaster Ziwei was actually a lazy dog. The previous heads of the sects gave lectures every five days, but he gave lectures every ten days. Although the previous heads of the sects could not take care of all the disciples, they at least took care of the chief disciples. However, he only gave lectures, and left the answering of questions to the two chief disciples of the foundation-building realm and the golden elixir realm. Only Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian were given special care.

Nowadays, no one is willing to be the chief disciple of this generation, so by becoming his disciple, he can have some peace!

The head of Ziwei Sect quickly signaled to his subordinates, and then an elder from his sect came out and said:

"Everyone, Kunlun has been established for ten thousand years, and the rule that the chief disciple must be taught by the master himself, isn't it time to change it?"

"You know, the sooner you complete the road to heaven, the more choices you have. But this first chief disciple who completes the road to heaven must choose the headmaster as his master and does not have the right to choose other elders. Isn't this a bit too harsh?"

This statement actually made no sense. Because only the master's personal teachings could teach the "Nine Heavens Pure Land Realm Mantra", so the Kunlun master's discipleship quota had always been sought after by everyone.

And it is impossible for the head of Kunlun to accept all the disciples who ask to be his disciples. He always has to take a look at their state of mind, talent, family background and other aspects before making a decision...If the head of the sect has bad character and only accepts disciples based on nepotism, then no matter how talented you are, it will be useless.

The so-called "the chief disciple must be taught by the master" is actually a bottom-line policy. It means that as long as you can get the status of the chief disciple, you don't have to worry about losing the status of the master's disciple due to various reasonable or unreasonable reasons, such as unstable state of mind, lack of talent, poor family background, or the master was in a bad mood because he didn't eat scallion oil noodles this morning. Its essence is to protect outstanding talents, not to restrict them.

But this is the situation now. No one wants to be the chief disciple. They all want to become the disciple of Elder Chang Geng, resulting in no one being willing to take the first place.

Therefore, although the elders were complaining in their hearts, they did not say anything and just nodded silently.

"Well, it's time to change it." Master Ziwei said calmly, "I'll go ask the immortal for instructions."
