"The 226th Disciple Selection Meeting of the Sect".
"Officially! Begin—!"
To Gingerbread's surprise, Master Wuya didn't give a long speech.
After shouting the word "start".
He waved his sleeve towards the sky, and a huge pale blue mirror appeared high in the air.
The mirror reflected a steep, towering stone staircase.
Liu Zheng thoughtfully explained, "This is the entrance disciple assessment. The Heavenly Rank is inside the small secret realm."
"Did you see that? The blue bottle that our sect leader is holding is the secret realm."
Gingerbread nodded.
The mirror high in the sky was projected from that bottle.
The world of cultivation is so interesting.
Liu Zheng continued, "Only disciples who have climbed all the steps can become inner disciples."
"and--"
"During the ascent of the Heavenly Stairs, you will also encounter various attacks, such as flying monsters or lightning bolts. There will also be unexpected events that test your humanity."
Gingerbread: "Senior sister, I understand. Climbing to the top tests perseverance and endurance, lightning tests the ability to respond to emergencies, and the rampaging monsters test whether one has the combat power to become a sword cultivator."
"Not bad, Junior Sister is very smart." Liu Zheng smiled awkwardly.
He patted the gingerbread on the head with his palm.
An uproar erupted from the crowd.
This drew Jiang Bingbing and Liu Zheng's attention back to the high-hanging Xuanjing.
Someone was attacked by birds and fell down the steep stone steps, seemingly into a bottomless abyss.
Actually, they fell out of the secret realm.
Entrance to Sword Sect Square.
The deacon returned the token with the contestant's name engraved on it to the contestant.
"Li Wuyi is eliminated."
Following that person.
Many more people continued to fall down the Heavenly Staircase.
At this moment.
A red figure attracted everyone's attention.
Including gingerbread.
Her heart suddenly jumped, her breath caught in her throat, and she stared unblinkingly at the back of the boy in red.
The peacock was even more excited than her, "Isn't that your friend who's a rogue cultivator on the path to immortality?"
"What's going on? Why is he participating in the disciple selection competition?"
"What's going on?"
Even after being burned to ashes, she still had black hair and red clothes.
What is different from before is.
Her long hair was not loose, but tied up with a black ribbon engraved with red runes.
He looked every bit the young man.
Even his height and youthful appearance made him look like a teenager.
ah??
What’s going on???
What's going on?!
Although Gingerbread was more confused than anyone else, when she heard the peacock chirping in her ear, she immediately realized what was happening and turned to him, making a throat-slitting gesture.
Xie Yingnan: ......
"Third senior brother, keep it a secret."
"otherwise."
"Crack you down."
Xie Yingnan transmitted his thoughts, "Nonsense, I'll definitely keep it a secret for you. I'm more afraid you'll take a megaphone and tell the whole sect, 'Hi everyone, Hua Kongque is the Demon Lord's son.'"
Feeling guilty, Gingerbread turned its gaze back to the Mysterious Mirror.
Don't say that.
That really does seem like something she would do.
They were equally unsettled.
There was also Huang Li, who was sitting in the elders' seat.
He recognized at a glance that the calm young man climbing the Heavenly Staircase was none other than Fen Jue.
Old Huang's excitement was palpable; he was curious but had no doubts.
Our ancestors could do whatever they wanted.
Who cares?!
The boy climbed the Heavenly Staircase as easily and leisurely as he strolled in the courtyard.
Lightning struck him.
Just as it was about to strike, it abruptly changed direction.
People outside the venue: Huh?
Can anyone tell them that this kind of operation is possible?
Gingerbread was a little surprised, but upon reflection, it made sense. Fen Jue was the founder of the Sword Sect, so it was possible that he created this small secret realm for testing new disciples.
It would be a miracle if someone dared to chop him up.
This time she was right.
The Heavenly Rank was crafted by Fen Jue, who is the master of this secret realm.
The demonic beast lightning sensed his presence.
They all retreated three steps.
that's all.
Others' robes were charred black from being struck by lightning, and they were locked in fierce battles with demonic beasts.
For Fenjue, it was as easy as strolling through his own backyard; he simply climbed to the top of the Heavenly Staircase.
The entrance to the bottle is at the top of the Heavenly Staircase.
The next second.
The boy in red appeared before the crowd.
Gingerbread suddenly froze, then her mind went blank and she didn't know what she was doing.
She quietly hid behind Wen Yuzhao.
She didn't want Fenjue to see her.
But she was really curious about how the other person had become like this.
My heart was pounding like a cat's tickling, and I silently peeked halfway out of my head to steal a glance at the center of the square.
It's okay if you don't watch it.
Upon closer inspection...
Their eyes met perfectly!
He seemed to spot her in the crowd at a glance, his thin, crimson lips curving slightly upwards.
He lip-read four words.
Gingerbread mimicked his lip movements and whispered the four words.
It truly is a case of "long time no see".
Gingerbread felt a sudden heat in her ears and awkwardly hid behind her second senior brother.
Xie Yingnan poked her shoulder twice and chuckled mischievously, "Junior Sister, you're blushing!"
"..." Gingerbread's cheeks turned even redder, and she threatened angrily, embarrassed that her secret had been exposed, "Watch out for my itching powder."
The peacock quickly closed its beak and made a ceasefire gesture.
After the burning and extinction occurred.
After a moment of silence, the square erupted in chaos.
From the Sword Sect's high-ranking members to the disciples of each peak, exclamations of amazement were heard everywhere.
Some praised the young man's handsome appearance, while others discussed how such an outstanding young man had suddenly appeared on the Eight Desolate Continent.
