"This mountain is so dilapidated that there are no disciples guarding the mountain. Don't your sect have any ideas to repair this place?" Ye Fan asked a little strangely.
Because of what Fang Bi said before, Hua Yunfei did not treat Ye Fan as a child and explained to him.
"Actually, hundreds of years ago, my father had the idea of repairing this place, but all the proposals were rejected by Elder Li, so we can only postpone it until now."
"Ahem, cough, cough," a coughing sound came from the grass, and Li Ruoyu's aging body appeared in front of several people, "I'm old, I'm old! Let this mountain and the old man grow old together, I don't have anything.
I want to carry it forward."
"This is Li Ruoyu from Zhuofeng, Elder Li!" Hua Yunfei introduced Ye Fan and others, and also introduced him to the old man.
"Master Uncle Li, these two kids want to join your Zhuofeng."
Li Ruoyu raised his eyes and looked at the two people, with a scary smile on his wrinkled face, "I guess you are here to look for inheritance again, right? If that's the case, the old man advises you to go back to other mountains to practice first. This way
But it’s never easy to leave.”
"Don't be afraid, we have plenty of time and can wait with you slowly." Ji Ziyue took the lead and took the old man's hand obediently, with a sweet smile on her face.
Fang Bie also nodded to him, "Mr. Li, you are lucky to have lived up to your fate."
"It seems that the old man's vision has not been wasted during this period of time. You have a very good talent. I hope you can practice seriously in the future."
Fang Bie nodded, "Of course."
A few people continued to walk forward. Many pavilions and pavilions on the main peak of 3,000 meters high had collapsed, leaving only declining vegetation and thorns that had grown as high as a person's waist.
"It's really desolate here." Ye Fan sighed, his words were full of emotion, but not much of a sense of loss.
"Without the inheritance, who would want to come here? Nature is desolate!" The old man nodded, "Since you insist on coming here, you should also know that the inheritance of this mountain is one of the original nine secrets. It is a pity that nature is extremely powerful.
It has not appeared in the world for 500 years, so you must be mentally prepared."
It didn't matter that Hua Yunfei came with three people. The other three people also had a strong mentality and just smiled and nodded.
"Senior Brother, I didn't expect you to be here." A group of young disciples flew here from the mountain in the distance. They all seemed a little surprised that there were actually a few disciples coming to this mountain that had been deserted all year round.
Hua Yunfei nodded, "Well, I'm here with a friend."
"Since you are determined to stay, then just stay. There is no need for assessment." Li Ruoyu shook his head and said, "Just treat the two of you as having passed the test."
"Doesn't he count?" Ji Ziyue pointed away, "Obviously he came with us."
"He is different. I invited him to stay, so of course he does not need to undergo the test." Li Ruoyu had a good temper and explained to her.
Several young disciples on the main peak seemed to have heard what they said. The expressions in their eyes varied, but they all seemed to be disapproving.
Due to Hua Yunfei's presence, these people did not say anything too irritating, but just whispered beside them.
Fang Bi shook his head and said, "Mr. Li, you can't break the rules, so give it a try!"
"Okay!" A trace of hesitation seemed to flash across the old man's furrowed face, but he still nodded under their persuasion.
Fang Bie looked happy. He had actually wanted to have such an opportunity for a long time. After all, people in both worlds said that his qualifications were very good, but it was hard to explain exactly what his qualifications were and how to express them.
He wanted to use this more professional testing method to see where his physique, or qualifications, were.
"Come with me!" Li Ruoyu said, and a group of people nearby followed them.
Because of Hua Yunfei's existence, these disciples are also very curious, what is the ability of this guy who can be called a friend by their senior brother?
They have reached the top of the mountain. The side of the mountain is very flat, but the ground is full of rubble. There is not a single intact building, and most of them are damaged palace buildings.
There is only one relatively open platform with nine steps paved with jade. Although it seems that time has passed for a long time, the solemnity of the past can still be seen.
"It turns out to be a nine-story ladder. I originally thought it was just a legend in the sect, but I didn't expect it to be on top of Zhuofeng." Hua Yunfei couldn't help but sigh.
"Uncle Li, if you release this ladder, this mountain peak will not be what it is now!" He said to the old man with a wry smile.
"Even though we are old and frail, there is no need to miss the future of these young people. They will have a better future if they go to the big mountains." The old man said without taking it seriously.
The steps looked crystal clear, and even after such a long time, there was no trace of damage.
Fang Bie looked at this luminous object and had the urge to lift a pickaxe and hit it, but he still stopped his thoughts.
This is someone else's mountain gate. It's not good to touch other people's things while being taken care of by others.
"In those days, how many talented and beautiful people were proud to climb this ladder..." Li Ruoyu sighed. He was still feeling the grand occasion at that time, but so much time had passed, and he had long since relaxed.
Came over.
"Go up, remember to climb up one step at a time, don't be unable to pass even one step."
The contemptuous smiles of the surrounding disciples seemed to have confirmed their thoughts. They did not dare to be bold when they said that someone was here, but they still heard their whispers.
"Only guys with almost zero talent would choose this kind of mountain. Otherwise, why would they use such a tricky method? How could they possibly climb this ladder?"
Fang Bie smiled. There were people with this kind of mentality everywhere, and there was never a shortage. He didn't need to care about what these guys thought, and stepped on them without hesitation.
"Climb!" Fang Bie stepped up, seemingly feeling nothing, and the steps lit up with a layer of green.
Then he took his second step, and the steps gradually turned blue and red, but he didn't feel any pressure.
When he took three steps in succession and stepped on the sixth step, he felt a faint resistance, which seemed to be suppressing his feet.
But as he stretched his body and stepped on the seventh step, the steps glowed with purple light, and the pressure he felt suddenly disappeared.
Then he stepped on the last step twice in a row. Immediately, there was bursts of fairy music, five-color brilliance rose to the sky, and countless colors emerged from the steps, making the half of the sky bright and magnificent.
Fang Bie stood on the last step very relaxedly. He could feel a vague pressure, but this pressure was not even as heavy as the clothes on his body.
"This..." Li Ruoyu was a little dumbfounded at this time, "It is said that those with the capital of the emperor can climb the nine-step ladder to heaven, but even the ancient emperors of the past could not climb this ladder so easily!"
From the distant horizon, several rainbows of various colors are flying from there, and from the mountains farther away, there are also many rays of light flying towards this side.
It seems that the situation here has alarmed the strong men from other mountains.
