Chapter 183 Ladder Ranking
The origin of the Ladder of Heaven is mysterious and no one knows it, as if it should have existed.
It appears in fixed locations, but not in fixed times: perhaps ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years. This is the fourth time it has appeared in the entire Lower Cultivation Realm's recorded history, and each time it has cultivated a group of peerless geniuses. Over five hundred years have passed since its last appearance.
Nan Xiao stood in the crowd and looked up at the ladder list that everyone longed for.
She could only say that the name was quite appropriate.
She had previously thought it was a tower climbing game where one had to pass each level before moving forward, but...
Looking at the endless stairs, it turns out that climbing the ladder is really like climbing stairs.
The top ten disciples in the individual competition all received a special jade token. With the help of the jade token, the top ten disciples can enter the ladder without any obstacles.
As for the other disciples, they can only rely on luck.
No one has figured out the selection criteria for the ladder yet. It feels more like a random draw. Those with good talents may not necessarily be able to enter, but those with poor talents also have a chance to enter.
The whole thing is quite metaphysical.
If you can pass through the entrance of the ladder smoothly, it means that you have been recognized by the ladder and are qualified to climb the ladder. If you are stopped directly, you are not qualified.
Nan Xiao was eager to try and see if she could enter without the jade token. But it seemed her master had read her mind and was staring at her the entire time.
That look seemed to be saying, just try it if you dare.
Jiang Xia also patted her head gently and said softly, "Be good."
Nan Xiao immediately raised his head and chest, held up four fingers, and assured: "Okay, big brother."
She was just thinking about it, not actually taking action. If she wasn't chosen, not only would she miss out on the reward, but she would also lose face. She didn't want that.
At this time, the clouds floating in the sky slowly changed, forming a very special pattern around the stairs.
Before Nan Xiao could see the pattern clearly, the clouds dispersed again, and a colorful light shone through the clouds.
The gate of the ladder was completely opened, and the disciples entered one after another. Some of them successfully passed through the barrier and shouted excitedly inside, while others refused to give up even after their heads were broken and bleeding.
Lin Jingyuan finally exhorted his disciples, "Try your best and climb as high as you can."
Everyone answered, "Yes, Master."
His gaze fell on Su Xun and Nan Xiao's faces, and he specifically warned them, "Especially you two. Xiao Xun, you have to change your lazy nature and stop slacking off all the time."
Nan Xiao immediately responded, patting his chest and assuring, "Master, don't worry. I will keep an eye on Fourth Senior Brother the entire time and ensure he doesn't get a break."
Su Xun: “…”
She is really his good junior sister.
Your senior brother put it in your pocket, but you kicked it into the ditch.
Lin Jingyuan said unhappily, "I just talked about him, not you."
He turned around and talked about Nan Xiao: "You too, this ladder list is no different from other ones, no messing around, do you hear me?"
Nan Xiao blinked and said, "Okay, Master."
She is obviously the most well-behaved, but her master described her as some kind of devil. This is absolutely slanderous.
Finally, Lin Jingyuan instructed, "During this climb, it's inevitable that some disciples will lose their Daoist mind and harbor thoughts of harming others. You all must be careful. Remember not to fall. If you do, re-climbing will be a hundred times more difficult than the first time."
"Yes, disciple will remember it."
Lin Jingyuan waved his hand and said, "Go in."
The other sects seemed to have received similar instructions, and everyone walked through the gate together.
As soon as they came in, everyone was surrounded by rich spiritual energy, and some even broke their mirrors while meditating on the spot.
Nan Xiao felt the rich spiritual energy enveloping him and sighed comfortably, "No wonder everyone wants to climb the ladder. Not to mention the rewards, this spiritual energy alone is enough to drive people crazy."
She had only been in for a while when the spiritual energy in her body loosened up a lot and began to climb towards the peak of foundation building.
Maybe you will have a breakthrough in the process of climbing the list. If you are bolder, you may even break through the golden elixir.
Many disciples had already started climbing, but none of the direct disciples moved.
Chen Wenxuan stretched his body, and facing the other disciples, a provocative smile appeared on his lips, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Compete???"
Zhou Shiqing had a faint smile on his face and said gently, "Junior Brother Chen is still as energetic as ever."
Han Yicheng scoffed, "Childish."
Su Yan: "Boring."
Jiang Xia: "Not interested."
Yang Boyong: “…”
Leave him a message.
As soon as they finished speaking, six figures rushed up "Shua, shua, shua..."
When I saw their backs again, they were already above the 50th step.
Everyone: “…”
Ye Wumian narrowed his eyes and said, "Aren't you going to compete? Why are they all going up there?"
Su Xun patted Ye Wumian's shoulder, sighed first, then shook his head, and finally said: "Third Brother, sometimes I really envy you."
How can you believe this? Didn’t you see that several of my senior brothers’ eyes were almost sparking with anger?
After saying that, Su Xun also quickly climbed up the stairs.
If you don't run away, you will be beaten.
Zhuo Hua followed closely behind and shouted, "Don't run, let's have a competition too."
Ye Wumian looked confused and turned to ask Nan Xiao, "Junior Sister, what did Fourth Junior Brother mean by that?"
What do you envy him for?
Nan Xiao touched his chin and replied seriously, "Third Brother, Fourth Brother is indirectly calling you stupid."
She said indignantly, "Fourth Senior Brother is really going too far. I can't stand it anymore. How can I tolerate this?" Nan Xiao grabbed Lu Huai's arm and asked seriously, "Lu Huai, can you tolerate this?"
Before Lu Huai could answer, Nan Xiao let him go and said to Ye Wumian, "Third Brother, you saw it. Even the younger brother couldn't stand it, so you can't stand it either. So, Third Brother, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and catch up with Fourth Brother and teach him a lesson."
After Nan Xiao's persuasion, Ye Wumian nodded seriously:
"Junior Sister is right."
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash. His goal was clear: to catch up with Su Xun and beat him up.
Qiao Yue held her forehead helplessly, thinking that the little junior sister was probably the nemesis of the fourth junior brother.
Nan Xiao took Qiao Yue's arm and said with a smile, "Senior Sister, let's go up too."
"good"
When Nan Xiao stepped onto the first step, his figure instantly stood still.
Such a heavy pressure.
She looked at her fellow seniors, who rushed up in the blink of an eye as if nothing had happened, and thought it was not difficult.
As a result, there is still some.
No wonder those disciples who climbed earlier than her were only a dozen steps ahead of her after such a long time.
Seeing that Nan Xiao didn't move, Qiao Yue and Lu Huai turned around at the same time and extended their hands to her.
"Junior sister, we are not in a hurry. Take your time. I will pull you."
"Xiaoxiao, I'll take you with me, it will save a lot of effort."
Nan Xiao pushed their hands away and chuckled, "Climbing the stairs isn't that hard. You're underestimating me."
After saying that, she adjusted her breathing rhythm and went up ten steps in one breath.
Surpassed ten percent of people.
