Chapter 116: Continuous Pretending
Tianluo Sect, Golden Roof Hall.
A white-haired but energetic old man stood in the center, surrounded by people.
The old man was naturally Qin Zhengqiu. Except for the two middle-aged men in black and purple robes, the rest were elders and protectors of the sect.
It can be said that all the senior members of the Tianluo Sect who are not away on business are here.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Wei Changtian, who looked calm. No one knew what he was thinking.
Road to heaven.
This is a treasure used by the Tianluo Sect to test the talents of its disciples. Countless people have passed through it over the hundreds of years.
An ordinary warrior can walk about fifty steps. Going beyond fifty steps means exceeding the average level.
The minimum standard for joining the Tianluo Sect is level 80, which is only one in ten among all practitioners.
Therefore, all the disciples of Tianluo Sect are extremely talented, and almost every year there are some outstanding people who are obviously different from ordinary people.
In the 89th year of Yuanping, inner disciple Gong Dahu climbed the 142nd step, and finally reached the third grade, and was appointed General Zhennan. In the 12th year of Yuankang, casual cultivator Zhang Pu climbed the 127th step, and finally reached the third grade, and founded the "Penglai Sect". In the 50th year of Yuankang, inner disciple Xu Shuo climbed the 196th step, and finally reached the second grade, and served as the left elder of the teaching center. Ten years later, he left Jiuding Mountain and traveled around the world. In the 105th year of Tianxing, Saint Qin Yingjiang climbed the 170th step, and now has reached the third grade. In the 113th year of Tianxing, Saint Qin Caizhen climbed the 164th step, and now has reached the third grade. It is not difficult to see from these "excellent cases" that if you can cross the 120th step, you have a high probability of reaching the third grade.
If you can pass the 190th level, you will have a chance to reach the second level.
Such talent is already as brilliant as the sun and the moon, and going further up... According to the internal records of the Tianluo Sect, three people in history had surpassed the 200th step.
Founder of the Tianluo Sect; 14th Emperor of the Daning Dynasty;
And a casual cultivator who had once reached the threshold of the first level.
Of course, if Xiao Feng comes and takes a walk, he can probably pass the 200th step.
But none of this matters right now.
Because a record that has never been created before and will most likely never be repeated has been created today.
In the fifteenth year of Tianji, the grandson of the leader Qin Zhengqiu, Wei Changtian, went up the Tongtian Road, three hundred steps. "Grandson Wei Changtian, meet grandpa."
Since he had made up his mind to "play the tiger", Wei Changtian deliberately did not lower his posture and just bowed slightly to Qin Zhengqiu.
"Long sky."
Qin Zhengqiu took a deep breath, and once again took a deep look at his grandson whom he had only met a few times. He asked with some trembling, "Do you know what it means for you to have walked through the Three Hundred Steps to Heaven?"
"My grandson doesn't know."
Wei Changtian was not timid at all, and said with a smile: "Please give me some advice, Grandpa."
"mean"
Qin Zhengqiu suddenly stopped talking halfway through his words.
Because even he, the leader of the sect, doesn't know what it means.
"Forget it. Sit down first and talk later."
With a long sigh, he turned around and sat down in the main seat, while Wei Changtian sat directly in the first seat on the left of Qin Zhengqiu without any hesitation.
Although he was a guest, this seat was not for a junior to sit in. Everyone present looked at each other and said nothing, but they all looked at Wei Changtian with doubts.
The Tianluo Sect was far away in Shuzhou, and Qin Zhengqiu and the others had no idea what kind of person Wei Changtian was before, and they had never deliberately tried to learn about this information.
Their impression of Wei Changtian came not only from Qin Caizhen's infrequent letters home, but also from the "murderous look" incident.
He dared to lead thousands of people to surround the prime minister's residence, and finally chopped off the prime minister's head with a single blow. This really surprised Qin Zhengqiu at the time.
But that's all.
In his opinion, even if Wei Changtian killed the emperor, the shock would not be half as great as it is today.
Therefore, just as everyone sat down, Qin Zhengqiu asked again in a deep voice: "Changtian, do you know that even the founder of the Tianluo Sect can only walk more than 200 steps on this road to heaven?"
“I didn’t know that before.”
Wei Changtian nodded calmly: "Now I know."
"you"
Qin Zhengqiu's pupils shrank slightly: "Why aren't you surprised at all?"
"Why are you surprised?"
Wei Changtian chuckled and said, "Grandpa, what does it have to do with me how many steps others can walk?"
“.”
Wei Changtian's answer completely confused Qin Zhengqiu.
He has lived for nearly a hundred years, and has never seen anyone with Wei Changtian's way of thinking.
But there is nothing wrong with this sentence.
After a long silence, Qin Zhengqiu finally asked, "Changtian, what is your current level of cultivation?"
"Only the sixth rank." Wei Changtian answered truthfully.
Sixth rank, this is not too shocking. After all, there are many disciples of the Tianluo Sect who are of similar age to Wei Changtian and have reached the sixth rank.
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, there was a hint of doubt in their hearts.
Since Wei Changtian can complete the Tongtian Road, his natural talent should be unmatched in the world. Thinking in this way, isn’t the sixth rank too slow?
As if he had guessed what everyone was thinking, Wei Changtian said another sentence.
"But if I want, I can reach the fourth level within half a year."
“.”
There was silence inside and outside the hall.
Half a year, enter the fourth level Although this statement is explosive, it is also as arrogant as "a snake trying to swallow an elephant".
No one believed Wei Changtian's boast that clearly violated the "laws of nature", but after all, Qin Zhengqiu didn't say anything, so they didn't dare to question anything.
The atmosphere became a little awkward. Everyone thought that Wei Changtian should stop bragging, but he refused to do so. He even asked with a smile:
"Everyone, don't you believe it?"
“.”
In an instant, the situation became even more awkward.
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads in silence.
Qin Zhengqiu finally couldn't stand it anymore and thought about finding a way out for his grandson.
"Changtian, it's always a good thing for young people to be a little arrogant, but..."
"Grandpa, I never tell lies."
Wei Changtian shook his head and looked around at everyone in the hall, then suddenly slapped the table without warning.
“Bang!”
The teacup on the table immediately flew high up, and a stream of light green tea fell from the air as it rolled.
Such a sudden situation startled everyone, but Wei Changtian didn't care about how others reacted. He immediately drew his sword from its sheath, and with a dragon roar, he used the Guichen Sword to directly cut at the water column in the air.
“Swish!”
With the bonus of millions of times of sword-swinging practice, this sword was extremely fast.
It was so fast that only Qin Zhengqiu could clearly see the blade, while the others only saw a flash before their eyes, and some could not even see the afterimage.
"clang!"
Draw the sword, swing it, and put it back into the sheath.
After completing the set of movements, the scabbard steadily caught the empty teacup, and then tea fell into the cup, exactly half a cup, no more, no less.
As for the other half, everyone looked up in astonishment, only to see that the light green liquid seemed to be trapped by some unknown force, still staying in the air, and it took five full breaths to fall.
“Crash~”
The teacup was filled again, without a drop of tea spilling from beginning to end.
Wei Changtian shook the scabbard and returned the teacup to the table, then slowly picked it up and took a sip.
"Gulp."
No one knew who swallowed his saliva, and then the hall fell completely silent.
It is not difficult to lock the tea with internal force.
But everyone knew clearly that—
Wei Changtian didn't use any internal force when he stabbed the knife just now.
