Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou squatted on the ground, dug a hole with a dagger, buried the bottom of the ladder in the hole, stomped the ground, and compacted the soil.
Lu Yang kicked the ladder, but the ladder did not move at all, but it made his right foot numb.
"Not bad, very solid, I'll try it first, and you can go up if it succeeds."
"No problem." Meng Jingzhou nodded.
Lu Yang rubbed his hands, took two steps at a time, and climbed up the ladder neatly. When he climbed to the corner of the ladder, which was parallel to the height of the 50th step, he secretly said "bad".
Lu Yang forced himself to look forward, not look down, and arched forward like a caterpillar.
The people on the steps looked up and watched Lu Yang approach the 50th step step by step, stunned.
What did they see? A huge ladder stuck on the ground, the ladder was bent at 90 degrees, and the end was the end point - the 50th step.
Everyone saw Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou making a ladder below, but they didn't think much about it.
They finally reached the 40th step. If they found out that they were crazy, they would not have the strength to go back to the 40th step. They would fail completely.
Man Gu was the fastest among the group and had reached the 49th step. However, the 50th step was like a natural chasm, difficult to cross. He felt like he was carrying a mountain and was about to crush him.
Then he watched Lu Yang crawl past him and reach the 50th step.
Lu Yang passed the level without any danger.
Meng Jingzhou followed closely and also passed the level.
The first and second place were born.
…
At the same time, outside the Wenxin Mountain, the disciples of the Wendao Sect were in chaos.
"Don't stop me. I must teach these two guys a lesson today. I promise not to kill them!" Dai Bufan's muscles bulged like a bear whose honey was robbed.
Junior brothers and sisters stepped forward to dissuade him:
"Brother Dai, you can't fight!"
"Brother Dai, you need to calm down."
"If something happens to the participants in the test, our reputation will be ruined if it gets out!"
"Bullying the weak will be bad for you, Brother Dai!"
"Brother Dai, don't forget that the third level is a test of the heart of seeking the Tao, you must not get angry!"
Dai Bufan calmed down after hearing the last sentence.
Yes, the third level is a test of the heart of seeking the Tao. Being so irritable is not conducive to future practice.
"... No, the third level is a test for them, not for me!"
The disciples of the Wendao Sect were in chaos again.
Seeing this, He Ling felt much more balanced and retreated back to the river, no longer bothering the two.
...
Perhaps it was the example of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's sincere cooperation and success that inspired people. The disciples who participated in the test cried out one by one and finally rushed to the 50th step.
Man Gu was the first one, followed by people Lu Yang didn't know. They were all ranked behind Lu Yang, and Lu Yang didn't know what was special about their roots. Finally, there were several people with dual spiritual roots, all of whom Lu Yang had seen.
The rest of the people kept trying, but they couldn't take a step. They wanted to go down the mountain and use the ladder made by Lu Yang and the others to climb to the 50th step, but it was a pity that going down the mountain would also be too stressful, and their bodies couldn't go up or down one step.
"The third level is over, and those who stay on the mountain will lose their qualifications." Yun Zhi announced coldly, asking Dai Bufan to bring the people down.
The ability of the Heart-seeking Mountain to forcibly pull people down to ordinary people cannot be removed, even Dai Bufan can't do it. If he wants to go up the mountain to rescue people, he can only climb the mountain step by step under the pressure of the Heart-seeking Mountain.
Dai Bufan glared at Lu Yang fiercely before climbing the Heart-seeking Mountain.
He was calm and climbed to the 50th step in a row.
The disciples who had just passed the third level saw Dai Bufan so relaxed, and thought about how hard they had worked to reach the 50th step, and felt that the gap was too big.
"It's nothing difficult to understand. You are only fourteen or fifteen years old. Even if you have a family to support you and have been exposed to cultivation early, it is like a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror. You have no sense of reality and cannot truly understand what Taoism and immortality are."
"Cultivating immortality is also cultivating the mind. When you have achieved success in cultivation, it will no longer be difficult to climb the Heart-Questioning Mountain."
At the end of the explanation, Yunzhi seemed to remember something and added symbolically: "Congratulations on becoming disciples of the Tao Sect."
Yunzhi waved her white hand, and the bell on her wrist rang, and water mist rose, forming clouds, holding up everyone.
Lu Yang stepped on the cloud and saw that he was getting higher and higher from the ground. He tried hard to swallow his saliva, and his heart was in his throat.
Oh my god, cultivating immortality is really exciting.
Yunzhi stood on the cloud and said to the junior brothers and sisters who were doing the finishing work below: "You have worked hard today. After you finish cleaning up, you can continue to do your own things."
The junior brothers and sisters said "yes" in unison, and then shouted one, two, three, one, two, three, dismantling and carrying the ladder made by Lu Yang and the others.
What's the matter with a ladder on the Wenxin Mountain?
Lu Yang didn't dare to open his eyes on the cloud, but he heard others talking excitedly and praising the beautiful scenery. He couldn't help his curiosity and opened his eyes. Then he was shocked by the scene in front of him and stared blankly.
A mountain is located in the center of the mountains, with a thousand-foot-high cliff, straight into the sky, steep and vertical on all sides, like a hundred-refined immortal sword, majestic and magnificent, eight mountains exuding a wonderful atmosphere arched the central mountain, and there were also layers of mountains on the outermost periphery, surrounding the nine most core mountains.
The mountains are stacked layer by layer, like a blooming lotus, which is fascinating!
The hazy mist covered the nine mountains, adding a sense of mystery.
Yun Zhi said lightly: "There are nine peaks in the core of the Taoism Sect. The peak in the middle is where the Sect Master is located, named Tianmen Peak. The other eight peaks are under the names of eight elders. The eight elders have their own strengths, and accordingly, the functions of these eight peaks are also different."
"In addition to these peaks, some are the trial places of the sect, some are the extensions of the elders' peaks, some are the places where disciples of the Taoism Sect practice, and there are some dangerous places. If you don't practice enough, you will die... It can't be explained in a few words. You can explore them gradually in the future."
"Xianxian talks about Study the word fate. You can move freely in the Wendao Sect in the next month, visit the mountains, go to the Sutra Pavilion, and ask the brothers and elders for advice. "
"After one month, you have to choose an elder as your master. Of course, the premise is that the elder agrees to let you be his apprentice."
"Man Gu asked whatever he wanted: "Can I only choose the elder? Can I choose the sect master?"
"Yes, but the sect master never likes to teach disciples. The probability of your success is very small."
"Yun Zhi said this, and there are still many people who want to practice under the sect master.
"Wendao Sect is one of the five major immortal sects in the Central Continent. Its sect master has a transcendent status and unquestionable strength. There are few rivals in the world of immortal cultivation. Being able to worship under such a master, the benefits of both the open and hidden are countless!
"Someone will take you to your respective caves later."
"Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, you two stay. "
