On September 15th, the triennial disciple recruitment ceremony of Shimo Holy Land officially begins at the foot of Shimo Mountain.
Outside the Shimo Mountain, there is a sea of people within a thousand miles radius. There are small family patriarchs who come with their disciples, and there are also elders of big families who come with their elites.
What's more, there are also disciples of great religions who proudly fly around the world in flying boats, hoping to enter the Holy Land of the First Demon for further study.
Compared with these three, the most vulnerable are ordinary people.
None of these ordinary people who can come to the Holy Land of the First Demon to take the assessment have any level of cultivation.
They may be princes or princesses from a certain great sect or a certain kingdom, or they may be the sons of merchants or the grandsons of beggars.
Through someone's advice, I learned about the recruitment of disciples from the Holy Land of the First Demon. After going through all kinds of hardships, I traveled thousands of miles in a carriage.
Or, simply, the Holy Land deacons and Holy Land disciples who were sent to various major kingdoms to serve as national teachers discovered that they had the qualifications to practice, so they helped them and brought them to the foot of Shimo Mountain.
But no matter what, compared to those heirs of martial arts families and direct disciples of great sects, these people are the difference between Cinderella and princes.
"Brother, are you also here to participate in the Ascension Fair?" A girl with tear marks on the corners of her eyes, who looked fragile and wanted to cherish her, timidly asked Wang Xu.
"Ascension Society?"
Wang Xu was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he heard this name. Isn't this the disciple recruitment ceremony of the Holy Land of the First Demon? Why did it become the Ascension Society?
"you do not know?"
The girl's timid appearance was endearing, and she whispered: "The Imperial Master said that this is the Immortal Ascension Association of the Shimo Immortal Sect. As long as we can pass the examination, we can become immortals."
After hearing the girl's words, Wang Xu's eyes showed a hint of understanding.
The girl must be a mortal from a small kingdom under the jurisdiction of a certain big religion, and mistakenly mistook the warrior for a god.
It’s no wonder that one big sect controls a population of trillions, and under the big sect there are small sects and countless small aristocratic families.
Not every country has small sects and warrior families. For some countries that are remote, lack resources, and are not suitable for the growth of warriors, sects and warrior families do not exist at all.
There are no sects or martial arts families, and coupled with the lack of resources, the possibility of martial artists being born in these places is extremely slim.
Obviously, the girl who didn't know what martial arts was at all had already regarded the national master who brought him here as a fairy-like existence.
Little did she know that in her eyes, the National Master, who was as powerful as a true immortal, was placed in the Holy Land of the First Demon and was nothing more than an outer disciple who had exhausted his potential and was sent to the kingdom to act as a guide.
No, it could even be lower. Maybe it was just a handyman who caught the attention of the deacon of the Holy Land and was sent down there to enjoy the blessings.
After all, although the handyman disciples are weak, if they can be released, they at least have the strength of a late stage.
Don't underestimate the late first level. Qiao Feng in Tianlong Babu is only at the late first level, but to ordinary people he is simply an invincible God of War.
"This is not the Immortal Ascension Society, it is just the Holy Land of Martial Arts. On the day when the First Demon Holy Land recruits disciples, even if you enter the First Demon Holy Land, you will not become an immortal. Of course, if your definition of immortal is just like your national master, then there is no need I said it." Although Wang Xu didn't see the national master who brought the girl here, he knew without thinking that it would be a blessing if this national master could have second-level cultivation.
"Isn't it the Ascension Society?"
The girl looked confused, as if she was stunned.
Wang Xu was bored and it would be nice to have someone with him to relieve his boredom, so he chatted: "How many of you are here in total, where are your Imperial Masters?"
"There are a total of eight of us here. The Imperial Master has been looking for people with immortality across the country. There are too many people here. I, I got separated from the Imperial Master." The girl looked cute and looked like she was about to cry.
appearance.
Wang Xu was speechless. He was lost. What the hell kind of operation was this?
But if they get separated, let's just get separated. I don't think that the national master will be able to give them any help.
Ordinary people from such a small place, unless they have extraordinary qualifications and without the support of their families and sects, will probably spend half their lives working as laborers, and then, like the Imperial Preceptor who brought her here, she will be lucky enough to go back and become a new leader.
People will die if they are unlucky.
This is not a joke, it is the same in the Holy Land itself.
The enrollment is held every three years, and millions of people are admitted each time. With so many people, even with the resources of the Holy Land, it is impossible to focus on training everyone.
Those disciples who come from warrior families or small sects are supported by their families and sects. They have a high starting point and naturally have high achievements.
On the contrary, as an ordinary person, he joined the Holy Land with nothing, and climbed up step by step from a handyman.
Unless you really have a strong foundation, or you have the favor of a certain big shot, you will be a handyman for the rest of your life, and no one will know about it even after you die.
"Brother, this is my first time traveling far away. I don't know anything. Can you take me with you?" Although the girl is cute, she is not stupid. She fell in love with Wang Xu's big ship at a glance.
Wang Xu touched his nose. Big brother, judging from the appearance of this little girl, she is only fourteen or fifteen years old. I'm afraid he is really older than the little girl's grandfather.
After all, in ancient times, it was common for people to get married and have children at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Maybe this girl's grandfather was not even older than him.
"My destiny bead was sacrificed and turned into a heavenly eye. Otherwise, I really need to see this little girl's luck." Looking at the pleading little girl, Wang Xu's heart moved slightly.
There were so many people outside Shimo Mountain, but the girl could take a fancy to him and come to seek shelter, which shows that her luck is definitely not low.
Only Wang Xu himself knew that among the hundreds of millions of disciples who came to be his disciples, his thighs were the thickest.
Not surprisingly, he will definitely be able to become a master of a great saint. When the time comes, as a direct disciple of a sixth-level saint, his status will be no less than that of the headmaster of the Holy Land of the First Demon.
The girl chose him over anyone else. This is not something that can only be achieved by good luck. It cannot be done only by great chance.
"Brother, can I follow you? Yiyi is very well-behaved and won't cause any trouble for you." The girl named Yiyi is born with a delicate temperament, and with the tear mole at the corner of her eye, she seems to be crying at any time.
Same.
The more Wang Xu looked at the girl, the more he felt that what happened today was not just a coincidence.
I'm afraid, this girl named Yiyi is not simple. He has found a treasure.
"Okay, just stay with me." Wang Xu has his own confidence, but he wants to see how extraordinary this girl is.
Hearing his words, Yiyi narrowed her eyes happily, pulling on his sleeve as if she was afraid that he would get lost.
Wang Xu looked Yiyi up and down and said softly: "Aren't you afraid that I am a bad person?"
"Don't be afraid. Big brother, you give me the same feeling as my biological brother. I feel so kind to you." Yiyi shook her head slightly, but under Wang Xu's questioning, she couldn't explain why. Anyway, that's how she was.
Felt.
Wang Xu had nothing to say. Feeling like this, what else could you say.
Forget it, let's just treat it as a good relationship. Anyway, if Yiyi is really what he thinks, she is a person with great opportunities, it will be obvious in the entry test after a while.
"Today is the grand day of our Holy Land of the First Demon, the triennial ceremony for accepting disciples. This is not only an opportunity for you, but also an opportunity for our Holy Land of the First Demon to continue to prosper."
Three poles high in the sun, accompanied by the sound of words, the clouds in the sky formed the image of a middle-aged man wearing a golden robe and a tall figure.
"My Lord, Gong Tianchou, the elder of the Demonic Holy Land, hereby announces that the disciple recruitment ceremony has begun!"
boom!!
One after another, the shadows of majestic figures soared into the sky and appeared above the nine heavens.
These people are all the elders of the Holy Land of the First Demon. Whether the following disciples behave good or bad will all be seen by them.
"To enter the Holy Land of the First Demon, you need to pass three tests. The first one is the perseverance test!"
Shi Mo Mountain seems to have disappeared, replaced by a pyramid-shaped ladder with upward layers.
This ladder reaches straight into the sky. Looking from the bottom up, even with Wang Xu's eyesight, it is difficult to see the end.
"Go ahead and use all your strength to climb this endless ladder. The higher you climb, the better your results will be. Those below the three thousandth floor will be eliminated."
Looking at the ladder in front of them, the crowd swarmed forward after a brief silence.
Strangely enough, the closer he got to the ladder, the bigger it became.
This is not simply large near and small, but similar to some kind of magical power.
Under this magical power, they seemed to have become smaller, but looking back, it seemed that was not the case.
"Follow me, let's go up!"
Wang Xu glanced at Yiyi behind him and climbed to the first level of the endless ladder.
boom!!
The moment he stepped on it with one foot, Wang Xu realized that he seemed to be carrying a mountain on his back.
Looking back at Yiyi, he found that Yiyi was also frowning, as if she was carrying a heavy weight.
"This endless ladder is specially designed to test willpower in the Holy Land of the First Demon. The ladder will release different pressures according to a person's cultivation level. The higher you go up, the heavier the pressure will be. You must hold on."
Wang Xu took the initiative to answer Yiyi's doubts, and then stepped up to the second step: "Follow me, don't give up!"
