Chapter 6 (Stairway to the Sky)
Chapter 6 (The Ladder to the Sky) ()
Mu Hao was not dissatisfied with the behavior of other teenagers, but just listened attentively to the conversations of other teenagers.
During the conversations of others, Mu Hao learned that although the maximum age for enrollment in the Ziyun Sect stipulated by Ziyun Sect is 16 years old, teenagers over 13 rarely participate in the Ziyun Sect's enrollment in the Ziyun Sect. The reason is that the Ziyun Sect sets a very high threshold for young people over 13 years old, and most people cannot pass it. As for Tute and others' age group, it is because they are children of nobles.
The nobles of the Lanling Principality generally did not want their children. They entered the Ziyun Sect to undergo arduous cultivation at a young age. They usually delayed their children until they were a little older. During this period, in order to accept the selection of the Tongtian Ladder, teenagers such as Tu Te made sufficient preparations.
When it was almost sunset, the carriage finally stopped. When Mu Hao got off the carriage, he was completely shocked by the scenery in front of him.
The majestic mountains in front of you are almost invisible to the edges, and the peaks of different sizes are like stars arching the moon and surround the giant mountains.
Unlike the mountains Mu Hao saw in other places, among the continuous mountains, purple clouds were extremely auspicious.
The sun sets, and through the purple clouds, the surrounding mountains are dyed into a purple illusion.
Ziyun Sect is famous for the purple clouds formed by the Ziyun Mountains.
Ziyun Sect is a very ancient sect. According to legend, the wonders of Ziyun Mountain existed in ancient times. Although it has experienced a long period of baptism and a change of changes in the world, Ziyun Mountain has not changed much. The mountains are still towering and towering, and the tiger lies in the Blue Feather Principality. However, Ziyun Sect is no longer famous in ancient times under the erosion of time.
Compared with Pude Mountain near Mujia Village, the continuous mountains in front of you seem even more majestic.
There was a man in a white robe waiting for Mu Hao and others next to the carriage.
Seeing Mu Hao and a few teenagers get off the car, the man in white robe walked up and asked the coachman: "Are these teenagers the candidates to participate in the Tongtian Ladder selection this time?"
The coachman got off the carriage and bowed deeply and said, "Yes, there are eight people in total. Manager Ed made a special trip to me to send them."
At this time, Mu Hao was carefully seeing the appearance of the man in white. The man was about twenty years old, with a handsome appearance and a tall figure, which was very charming. The most exaggerated thing was that the man was carrying a giant bow behind him. According to Mu Hao's vision, the giant bow on the man was almost the same as his height.
It seemed that he had noticed the observation of Mu Hao and others. The man glanced at Mu Hao and the young men with a cold look. With just a look, Mu Hao felt chill and dared not look around anymore, so he quickly lowered his head.
"Okay, since you have arrived at Ziyun Sect, hurry up and select the ladder of the Heaven! I can report it even if I finish it, come with me." The man in white with a giant bow on his back seemed to be careless and turned around and headed up the mountain.
Mu Hao and his friends did not dare to neglect, so they quickly raised their heels.
The mountain road is not too steep, and the stone steps are cleaned very clean. The man in white seems to be deliberately testing Mu Hao and others. He goes up the mountain very fast, almost always jumping with his toes, and his posture is very elegant.
As the figures became farther and farther away, it was a pity for Mu Hao and others. I don’t know who started, eight young men rushed to chase the white figure in front of them.
At this time, we could see the depth of Mu Hao and others' foundation. Tut took the lead and ran at the front of the eight-man team, as if there was still some extra strength. Og followed closely behind, and the other noble children were also quite quick. Although Mu Hao tried his best, he could only fall at the end of the team with the brown-haired boy, not letting others pull him too much.
After running for a long time, just as Mu Hao's legs were sore and swollen, the figures of the people in front slowly stopped.
Although the weather was cold, Mu Hao still felt his throat was about to catch fire, and he stood on the side and gasped heavily.
The other teenagers were not much better than Mu Hao at this time. Although Tut was extremely physically ill, his face turned a little red, and his blonde hair even emitting white smoke due to sweating.
The man in white looked at Mu Hao and the others with a ridiculous look and said lightly: "Now we are at the lower peak of Ziyun Mountain. The stairs in front of you are the stairs that lead to the sky. From this stairs, you can reach the Ziluan Hall at the top of the peak."
Mu Hao took a breath slightly and then began to look at this place. In front of him, a large square made of amethyst stones was different from the natural forest at the foot of the mountain. From the lower peak to the top of Ziyun Mountain, you can see some unique buildings, especially the staircase that the white-clothed young man mentioned, which penetrated directly between Ziyun Cloud like a straight white jade, and could not see the end at first sight.
Looking at the wonders in front of him, Mu Hao couldn't imagine how much effort his predecessors had spent to build this ladder to heaven.
At this time, the man in white walked towards the Tongtian stairs and said lightly: "Okay, if you have a good rest, you can climb now. But I want to remind you in advance that for the selection of the eight of you, the magic circle on the Tongtian stairs has been opened. If it doesn't work, don't force it, so as not to waste your life. Normally, even a cultivator who has cultivated the original energy will be a bit reluctant to climb to the peak safely. During your climbing the ladder, I will not give you any help. Only by reaching the peak can you pass the selection."
After hearing what the man in white and combined with what Tu Te and others said on the carriage, although Mu Hao could not see the danger of the Tongtian ladder, he also knew that this ladder was definitely not simple.
When everyone walked to the stairs of the sky built by Bai Yan, the entire stairs suddenly became rays of light, as if they had become a colorful road that soared into the sky in an instant.
Before Mu Hao and the teenagers continued to observe, they heard the man in white beside him shouting loudly: "When will you wait until you don't leave at this time? The person who can't reach the top of Ziyun Mountain in two hours will lose the qualification to select."
After hearing the man in white, Mu Hao and others did not hesitate at all and ran up the ladder of the sky.
Just as Mu Hao ran up the stairs, he suddenly felt a fire coming towards him. The sudden change on the stairs surprised Mu Hao. Tute and others seemed to have known this situation for a long time, and did not stop at all, running up the road.
Mu Hao quickly reacted and followed Tute and others to run upwards. He didn't want to be pulled too far by Tute and others. He didn't know what dangers there were waiting for him all the way. Following most people upwards is undoubtedly a correct choice. At least he can observe how others respond.
However, after Mu Hao ran for a while, he found something was wrong. The hot breath became stronger and stronger. Looking up from the stairs where he was, the sky above the stairs that had been in front of him was dyed a faint red by the heat.
The strangest thing is that this hot aura did not come out from the Baiyan stairs under her feet. Although the Baiyan stairs are also very fragile, Mu Hao was sure that these heats were gathered out of thin air.
"Is this the power of the magic circle mentioned by the man in white?" Mu Hao thought while running, and couldn't help but secretly praise the magic of magic in his heart.
As he ran violently, Mu Hao's sweat had already penetrated his entire torn leather jacket, and beads of sweat the size of beans on his face dripped along his cheeks and nose tips on his white rock steps.
What makes this burning feeling different from burning is that the heat from the outside does not burn the skin, but keeps drilling into the skin from the tiny pores, guiding the internal organs and blood in the body to begin to heat up, especially after strenuous exercise, this feeling will be more obvious.
Holding the feeling of blood spraying in his throat, Mu Hao kept running upwards. Although Mu Hao was not as physically healthy as Tute and other noble children, Mu Hao believed that as long as he gritted his teeth and persevered, he might not have no chance. If he didn't give up, he would have hope to wait for him.
If you stop and rest now, it means that the old village chief finally won the opportunity for him to disappear in an instant.
Fortunately, the distance between this hot staircase was not too long. After running for an incense stick, just when Mu Hao felt that he was about to squirt blood, the air around him suddenly cooled down. The coolness in an instant made Mu Hao feel comfortable all over, and his feet couldn't help but run a lot faster.
However, this period of comfort did not last long. When the skin on the surface of the body slowly cooled down, the air conditioner gave Mu Hao twice the feeling that he felt like in the hot environment just now. When he discovered this, the air around him was already white, and even his vision was not too far away due to the air.
Because the body keeps moving, the heat accumulated in the body cannot be effectively emitted at all. Now, I suddenly came to a bad situation that was exactly the opposite of the heat. I was squeezed by the cold air desperately entering the body, which made the people who were undergoing the trial even worse.
The feeling of coldness and heat in the body made Mu Hao's face change again and again.
What Mu Hao didn't know was that the ladder he ran was the famous ice and fire path of Ziyun Sect. During the trial of the ice and fire path, some teenagers with great potential may cause the body's meridians to react to energy, breaking through the limits of the body and cultivating the original energy. However, this kind of exercise also has a great burden on the human body. Many of the teenagers who participated in the Ziyun Sect's Tongtian ladder selection have left their lives forever on this ladder to success.
In less than half a stick of incense, the brown-haired boy with the same identity as Mu Hao couldn't hold on first, and stopped and spit out blood. Seeing the brown-haired boy's performance, Mu Hao's face changed.
