With a flash of flowers in front of their eyes, Long Chen and others instantly appeared under a high mountain. In front of them was a huge stone staircase.
The stone staircase is wide, each step is thousands of feet square, leading to the top of the mountain, straight into the clouds, with no end in sight.
"This is the third trial of the Xuantian Martial Arts Festival - the Ladder to Heaven."
The voice of the deputy sect master rang in everyone's ears: "The ladder to the underworld is paved with stones from the underworld, with formations engraved on it to capture some of the luck in the underworld and bless it.
On the ladder to the underworld, everyone will encounter luck that matches them, but this luck is not static.
As you move forward, the more stairs you cross, the more luck will be attached to you.
Things like luck are illusory and mysterious, but they are real. Throughout history, those who have reached the peak of power are all those with great luck.
No matter how high a person's cultivation is and how powerful he is, if his luck is not good, he will always encounter various ups and downs and dangers, and he will die sooner or later.
And the fact that you can stand out from countless cultivators today accounts for a large part of your luck, so the next trial is extremely important.
You must try your best to climb up, and remember, every additional step you climb will add a little bit more luck to you."
Everyone couldn't help but feel awe-struck when they heard this. Having reached their level of cultivation, they had come into contact with more things.
The so-called luck is the grace given by the whole world to some spiritual creatures. Although there is no hard evidence to prove that such a thing as luck exists, everyone who practices it firmly believes in it.
A trace of luck can often help people turn danger into safety. This is a very incredible thing.
Unexpectedly, this ladder to the underworld can actually increase people's luck. It is simply a treasure that defies heaven. Countless people were eager to try it.
The deputy sect leader said: "This ladder to the underworld is divided into nine hundred and ninety-nine major steps. Between each two major steps, there are ninety-nine smaller steps connecting them.
Now, according to the rules, I will tell you about the rewards of this Underworld Ladder, everyone will keep it in mind."
Are there other rewards? Everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed. It was indeed the ladder to the underworld, the last level of the trial.
"Every disciple who reaches the 333rd level, the 666th level and the 999th level will receive a reward.
As for what this reward is, no one knows, because this reward is given to you by Mingtian Ladder, and it is determined based on your personal luck. Among the rewards, there are good and bad, depending on your own
Lucky for you.
And above the 999th step, there is a high platform, and on that high platform, the final reward is placed.
No one knows what the specific rewards are, these rewards are all issued by the Xuantian Sect, but I can say that the final rewards will be richer than you can imagine."
Shuiguanzhi and other genius-level experts all had their eyes shining brightly. It was obvious that they were determined to obtain this treasure.
"Okay, the time has come. The Xuantian Martial Arts Festival and the final trial will begin now!"
Following the deputy sect leader's cold shout, all the disciples could no longer hold back and rushed directly to the Underworld Ladder.
But as soon as they stepped onto the Stairway to the Underworld, the expressions of those disciples changed. They felt as if they had entered the water and their steps were slowed down.
Not only is there pressure on the body, but also one's own soul is being oppressed. At the same time, there is also a feeling of laziness and exhaustion in the heart, which makes people not want to climb up anymore, but just want to have a good rest here.
.
Long Chen also stepped onto the Mingtian Ladder. He also felt something unusual and said to everyone: "Xuan Tianhai is a test for the physical body, Jiuyou Road is a test for the soul, and Mingtian Ladder is a comprehensive test.
It tests the human body, soul, will and even the desires deep in the soul, making people feel lazy and passive. However, this is just drizzle for you.
Brothers, you are all real warriors who have been tempered by blood and fire. Show them our passion and youth and show them what a real strong person is." Long Chen encouraged.
"Go ahead"
The dragon blood warriors shouted loudly, their morale was like a rainbow, and they ignored the negative emotions and rushed forward.
At this moment, the deputy sect leader waved his hand, and the stone platform under their feet suddenly rose slowly, and all the powerful men from the Xuantian Dao Sect flew into the air.
Sitting on the stone platform, you can overlook the entire Hades Stairway and see everything below clearly.
"I don't know if anyone will be able to get the treasure this time," a leader couldn't help but whisper.
Because there have been trials, no one can climb the 999th step of the ladder, and even if they climb the 999th step of the ladder, they may not be able to get the treasure, so he couldn't help but sigh.
"There is great hope this time, there are at least five people, there is great hope." A rare smile appeared on the deputy sect master's face.
"How come there are five? Isn't there a newly promoted second-grade Skywalker?" One person was puzzled.
A strange look appeared on the deputy sect master's face, and he stared at the crowd, Guo Ran, who was swaying, waving flags and shouting, sighed and said:
"To be honest, after living for so many years, I have never seen such a weak second-grade Skywalker. This time it really opened my eyes."
Everyone also looked at Guo Ran and couldn't help but secretly nod. This is indeed a miracle for practitioners, and it is considered two miracles along with Long Chen.
An ordinary practitioner is extremely powerful, and a second-grade Skywalker is extremely weak. This world is really amazing.
While everyone was talking, five figures advanced together and had already reached the 100th step.
Those five people were none other than Zhao Wuji, Shui Guanzhi, Zhong Wuyan and Yue Qianshan, the four great geniuses, and the other one was Long Chen.
On this ladder to the underworld, no one else can help. He has to rely on himself, so Long Chen doesn't have to take care of other people. He goes hand in hand with the five people and runs with all his strength.
Now that Long Chen finally showed strength comparable to the four geniuses, many people who were secretly dissatisfied with Long Chen finally shut their mouths.
Although Long Chen defeated Shuiguanzhi before, many people thought that Long Chen was lucky and Shuiguanzhi was careless.
On the Xuan Tianhai and Jiuyou Road behind, the four geniuses gained a lot, but Long Chen didn't seem to get anything.
Due to the ebb and flow, many people believe that Long Chen has now lost the qualification to compete with the four great geniuses.
But now, the five of them were running fast and competing secretly, with no one willing to be left behind, fully demonstrating everyone's strength.
The five people ran quickly and reached the 100th level. After reaching the 100th level, Long Chen found that the pressure began to double, but everyone still sprinted quickly without any intention of stopping. It was obvious that everyone had begun to compete now, and they all hoped to be able to
Stand alone above all the geniuses.
Behind Long Chen and others, a group of Skywalkers had already reached the eightieth level, but the distance began to become more obvious.
Tang Wan'er and Meng Qi held hands and ran quickly, ranking first among the skywalkers. Their long clothes were fluttering and their long hair was flying, like immortals descending into the world. They were the most beautiful scenery on the entire Stairway to Heaven.
Behind all the Skywalkers were the ordinary disciples, with the dragon-blooded warriors rushing at the front, and Guo Ran, the "prodigy", shamelessly hid among the dragon-blooded legions.
However, in order to show his integrity, this guy ran along, shouting slogans and cheering everyone up. He looked like he was sacrificing the opportunity to compete with other geniuses for the sake of everyone, and he was full of loyalty.
Those at the back were a little slower, like herding sheep, and formed a long and scattered queue.
At this time, you can see a person's overall quality. Many people are fine with strength and soul pressure, but will is a fatal link.
The last person had only stepped up six steps. Looking at the endless stairs, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.
The group of master-level experts standing on the high platform showed no surprise or anger at this situation.
Because they know that this Stairway to the Underworld is too weird. They have also stepped on the Stairway to the Underworld and know the pain.
When you feel tired, exhausted, or lack confidence, negative emotions will explode wildly, and a voice will persuade you to give up, telling you that you can't hold on for long, why are you so tired?
It will tempt you, this ladder is not as magical as you imagine, and what luck there is, it is just nonsense, deceptive nonsense, etc.
In fact, those voices do not come from the outside world, but from the people themselves, from the inertia in their hearts.
Everyone has inertia. If the will is not strong enough and cannot suppress this inertia, it will be over. Especially this ladder to the underworld erodes people's will in all aspects, making people even less determined.
This has nothing to do with talent, so every time the Underworld Stairway is opened, some disciples with very good talent are not as good as some disciples with average talent, because the superior conditions will make their will not strong enough.
boom!
Suddenly, the entire Mingtian Staircase shook slightly. Everyone was startled and hurriedly looked forward, only to see five people rushing up the 333rd step.
When Long Chen rushed up the 333rd staircase, everyone's shoulders sank slightly, and there was stronger pressure pressing on them.
This pressure not only comes from the body, but also from the spirit, which makes people feel very tired, especially Long Chen, whose original injury was not easy to heal, and he looked even more tired.
But Long Chen ignored it. This kind of fatigue is just a feeling, or an illusion. You can't be confused by it. If you are confused, negative emotions will breed, and it will be even more difficult to suppress them.
"Buzz"
When all five people stepped onto the 333rd staircase, suddenly the space in front of the five people shook, and a ball of light appeared in front of everyone.
The light group was not big, only about a foot in diameter. It was just like a small whirlpool, and nothing inside could be seen.
"This is your reward. If you reach into the light group, you will catch something that belongs to you. Take it out!" At this time, the voice of the deputy sect leader sounded.
Seeing that Long Chen and others had actually received a reward, the disciples who had persevered so hard could not help but be shocked. Their eyes were filled with anticipation to see what the reward was.
"Since no one is moving, let me do it first." Yue Qianshan stretched out his big hand, directly penetrated into the light group, and pulled out something.
