I am cultivating immortality in the chaotic world.

Chapter 134: Chen Yu, the leader of Chaotian Sect, took a breath.

The first screening secret realm of Tianjiao Road.

In the first level, you cannot use your own spiritual energy and personal belongings?

Chen Lu did not stand up immediately, but stood at the starting point of the stairs leading into the clouds and looked up at the stairs leading to the sky.

The steps are high and wide.

Every time you take a step, you basically have to lift your legs as high as possible. Some petite female geniuses who come here may have to use their hands and feet to climb up.

Chen Lu looked around but did not stay for too long. Instead, he stepped onto the stairs and walked forward along them. After climbing over seventy or eighty steps, he came to the junction of the stairs and the cloud wall surrounding the square.

The square was surrounded by countless clouds.

This stairway to heaven passes through the clouds and continues to extend towards the sky.

After stepping into the Tongtian Stairs shrouded in clouds and mist, after about ten breaths, I finally passed through the clouds and mist, and everything in front of me suddenly became clear.

It seems to be in heaven.

In the clear sky, a stairway to heaven stretched all the way up to the sky with no end in sight. When he scanned with his spiritual sense, he could not see the end of the stairway to heaven even at the end of his spiritual sense range.

Below and around the Tongtian Stairs, there was a sea of ​​fire that seemed to have no boundaries.

It goes without saying that if you can't use your spiritual energy, you will either die or be crippled if you fall down.

This is the first level, the Tongtian Stage.

"."

Chen Lu stood there in silence with an expressionless face. He did not continue climbing. The end of the Tongtian Stairs could not be seen at the end of the range of his spiritual awareness, which meant that no one could climb the Tongtian Stairs within one stick of incense.

His spell is "Shrinking the Earth into an Inch" and his entry is "Slippery Hands".

Both are short-distance teleportation methods that do not consume spiritual energy. The original plan was to rely on these two methods to reach the destination within the specified time, but now it seems that this plan has to be canceled.

One is that the end point is too far away, and the spiritual consciousness cannot perceive the end at all.

Secondly, the sea of ​​fire below is obviously a map-restricted thing. If you randomly enter the sea of ​​fire, you will either die or be injured.

He didn't know how to pass this first level within the time limit of one stick of incense relying on his physical strength.

Chen Lu looked at it, frowned and thought.

He knew that the geniuses who participated in this secret "Preliminary Screening of the Prodigy Road" should not be the geniuses of the Great Xia Kingdom, but the geniuses from outside the Great Xia Kingdom who had never set foot in the world, such as the genius of the evil clan. Because the geniuses outside were not restricted, their strength might be stronger than the geniuses of their Great Xia Kingdom.

This possibility is very high.

But no matter how strong you are, you must at least be within a certain range of cognition.

Without relying on material possessions or his own spiritual energy, he didn't know how he could complete the at least 100-mile Tongtian Stairs within one stick of incense. It was an impossible task.

如果
If he was the one who arranged this secret realm, if he put himself in the perspective of Heaven.

He set up a secret realm that almost no one could pass. So if we rule out the possibility that he didn't want anyone to pass it, the only reason left was that there were other ways to pass it.

"first round."

"All the participating geniuses cannot use any external objects or their own spiritual energy in this stage. They need to rely on their physical strength and perseverance to reach the top of the stairs within one stick of incense."

"The losers will be eliminated and expelled from the secret realm."

He recalled the first level panel he had just seen in his mind. He stood on the edge of the stairs, overlooking the sea of ​​fire below. Perhaps... the end of this staircase was in the sea of ​​fire below?
Do you need to jump into a sea of ​​fire to pass the level?

"."

After standing there in deep thought for a moment, Chen Lu suddenly turned around and walked into the mist behind him. He then walked back along the steps he had come from until he was back at the bluestone square.

Stand in the center again.

This is where I was brought here.

Standing in the center of the bluestone square, looking at the staircase in front of him that passed through the clouds, he turned around and strode towards the clouds behind him, stepping into the clouds without any hesitation.

One breath, two breaths.

After ten breaths.

The mist dissipated and the view in front of him suddenly became clear. There was also a bluestone square, but it was a brand new bluestone square, not the same as his bluestone square. In the very center of the bluestone square, there was a stone tablet.

"Second level."

at the same time--

A panel wrapped in clouds and mist appeared in front of him.

"Congratulations on successfully completing the level. Please wait patiently for the second level to begin."

He was still the only one here, with no one else around. However, there was a ranking list engraved on the stone tablet, showing the geniuses who cleared the first level the fastest. He found his own name at the first place.
-
"Ranking of fastest clear of the first level."

"No. 1 on the list": Chen Lu, the leader of the Chaotian Sect, took forty-eight breaths.

Second place:-
Currently, he is the only one on the leaderboard, which means that he is the only one who has passed the first level. Except for him, the rest of the participating geniuses are still in the first level.

And this time.

Dozens of images also appeared in the air, selecting images of some geniuses who were breaking through levels.

There are many scenes of geniuses breaking through levels in the screen. The faces of those geniuses are blurred, distorted by the power of heaven and earth, so their specific features cannot be seen. But it can be seen that on these dozens of steps leading to the sky, each genius is using his own means to pass the levels.

The Tongtian Stage, whose end cannot be sensed by the divine sense, is actually an illusion. Only a small part of the Tongtian Stage is real, and the rest are illusions. The real end of the Tongtian Stage is something that even an ordinary Jindan cultivator can easily pass within one stick of incense relying on his physical fitness.

And he saw it with his own eyes.

Many geniuses climbed for a long time, but their spiritual sense still could not feel the end of the Tongtian Steps, so they gritted their teeth and jumped into the sea of ​​fire below, and then turned into a beam of white light and were eliminated from the secret realm.

He could understand the thoughts of these geniuses. After all, according to the end of the Tongtian Steps, there would definitely be no way to finish climbing in the remaining time. It was impossible for the secret realm to have an impassable level, so the end point was most likely the sea of ​​fire below.

but.
In fact, the sea of ​​fire below is just a trap. There is only one outcome after jumping into the sea of ​​fire, and that is being eliminated.

As time passes.

Many geniuses chose to jump into the sea of ​​fire, and some even chose to jump into the sea of ​​fire when they were about to reach the true end of the Tongtian Stage.

This level is really aimed at those geniuses who possess spiritual awareness and a wide range of spiritual awareness.

When you sense that the end is still far away from you, you will naturally give up and start thinking that the sea of ​​fire is the real end.

On the contrary, those geniuses who released their spiritual sense but pretended to see nothing, or those who simply did not release their spiritual sense, climbed all the way with their heads down. It seemed that they were climbing a step to heaven that they could never reach.

But before the time was about to run out, they accidentally stepped on a step that teleported these geniuses to the second level, the Bluestone Square, and reminded them that they had passed the level.

"."

Chen Yu looked at the geniuses in the pictures, opened his mouth in confusion, and stood there in a daze. He originally thought that he had found the most correct way to pass the level, but now it seems...
His way of clearing the level seems to be completely different from the expected way of clearing the secret realm?
Instead, it seems a bit like a map bug.

This first level really tests the genius's physical strength and perseverance.

When you can't see hope, will you still move forward step by step? This is a metaphor that the end of the road to cultivating immortals cannot be seen at all. Without great perseverance, it is impossible to reach the end.

However, the range of their spiritual awareness is limited for those Jindan geniuses, so even though it feels a bit difficult, they still move forward step by step.

When time was almost running out and he found that the end of the Tongtian Stage was still beyond the range of his spiritual awareness, he fell into the sea in despair.

But he is different.

He stood at the starting point and released his spiritual sense for more than a hundred miles. He immediately realized that it was impossible for a human to walk on this road, so he turned around without any hesitation.

then--

This is what happened on the leaderboard.
-
"Ranking of fastest clear of the first level."

"No. 1 on the list": Chen Lu, the leader of the Chaotian Sect, took forty-eight breaths.

"Number two on the list": Li Shiyi, a true disciple of Daojian Sect, took six hundred and seventy breaths.

"."

"Sixth on the list": Zhang Mo, the holy son of Ci Tian Sect, took seven hundred and twelve breaths.

"."

"Ninety-nine on the list": Li Kui, an inner sect disciple of the Fukui Sect, took eight hundred and thirty-six breaths.
-
One stick of incense is approximately equal to three cups of tea, and approximately equal to nine hundred breaths.

Chen Lu didn't know how many people participated in the first level, but the total number of people who passed the level was only 1298 geniuses.

And on the leaderboard.

His forty-eight breaths were extremely eye-catching.

The second guy on the list, Li Shiyi, had a time of 670 breaths, and he crushed him by several times, which was indeed more or less eye-catching.

But just then——

A panel wrapped in clouds and mist appeared before him again.

"Li Shiyi, a true disciple of Daojian Sect, has entered the secret realm with the Supreme Pride Order and has a chance to vote for a rematch."

"The genius Li Shiyi chose to use this opportunity and left a message: "Fellow Daoists, let's have a rematch. There was a problem with the first level. I've never heard of Chen Yu, the leader of Chaotian Sect. There is no Chaotian Sect among the mainstream sects in Xuantian Continent. There must be something wrong with the first level of the secret realm. Fellow Daoists, please vote for a rematch."

"Please vote for whether to rematch the first round. If more than half of the votes are cast, it will be deemed that you agree to rematch."

"."

Chen Lu looked at the cloud panel floating in front of him with a slightly strange expression. The Tianjiao Order is divided into different grades, so why doesn't his Tianjiao Order have any function? Then does Li Shiyi's top-grade Tianjiao Order have a chance to rematch?

In fact, he thinks that ranking second is also pretty good.

Do we have to rematch just because we are not number one?

However, through that message, he also got some information, that is, the Great Xia Kingdom was indeed just a place of imprisonment, and the place where the Great Xia Kingdom was imprisoned was called Xuantian Continent.

Didn't give him a chance to choose.

More than half of the votes were in favor, and it seemed that many people wanted a rematch, but this time only those who had passed the first level would be able to participate in the rematch. Those who were eliminated and left the secret realm before the rematch would not have the opportunity to participate in the rematch.

A flash of white light flashed.

Chen Lu found himself standing on the familiar, moss-covered bluestone square again, once again imprisoned by the power of heaven and earth, and the first level panel reappeared beside him.

You like rematches, right?

His eyes gradually narrowed, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth. He decided to give it a try.

In the moment when the power of heaven and earth dissipated!

Without any hesitation, he activated the "Shrinking the Earth into an Inch" technique and began to teleport continuously above the bluestone square until he pierced into the clouds and disappeared on the spot. He then appeared in the sky above the bluestone square of the second level and slowly fell to the ground.
-
"Ranking of fastest clear of the first level."

[No. 1]: Chen Lu, leader of Chaotian Sect, took one breath.

"."
-
"Why bother."

Chen Yu stood in front of the stone tablet with a look of emotion, looked at the ranking that appeared on it and said with a smack of his tongue: "I'll piss you off to death."

This time, he was sure that he was not stuck in a map bug, but that this way of passing the level was indeed a hidden way of passing the first level, because the direction he went through the clouds this time was completely different from the last time, but he still ended up in the second level.

This means.

When you are in the first level, no matter which direction you go through the clouds, as long as you do not leave the clouds along the Tongtian Stairs, you can reach the second level.

Waited patiently for a while.

Gradually, other people's names appeared on the leaderboard.

The Taoist Sword Sect's true disciple Li Shiyi was still second on the list, but he had improved a lot. The time for the second rematch was reduced to 630 breaths, 40 breaths faster, which was a very good improvement.

"."

On the bluestone square of the second level, Li Shiyi, a true disciple of Daojian Sect, stood in front of the stone tablet with an extremely ugly expression, his eyes fixed on the name of Chen Lu who topped the list.

He had already increased his speed to the fastest, and it still took him 630 breaths to reach the finish line.

Faster than many physical cultivators.

He really couldn't understand how this Chen Lu, whom he had never heard of, could reach the end of the Tongtian Stage in just one breath without relying on his own spiritual energy or external possessions!

Damn it! ! !

How could it be possible for just one breath!
It was forty-eight breaths before the rematch, but it became only one breath after the rematch. Could this damn guy have directly detonated his physical body and flew over by relying on his golden elixir?
If there are some entries or other spells that speed up the Jindan's escape, it can indeed do this.

But is this damn guy crazy? This is just the initial screening secret realm of the Tianjiao Road, not the official opening of the Tianjiao Road. Is it necessary to fight so hard? After the body self-destructs, although the entries obtained before will still be retained after creating a new body, the body that is taken over will definitely not be as suitable for him as his original body. Both his potential and strength will be greatly reduced.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter"

Li Shiyi took a deep breath, calmed down his inner emotions, and murmured in a low voice: "He is just a madman. He passed this level by self-destructing his body, which will definitely be useless in the future. Moreover, he is destined to be unknown after taking over another body."

"It's not worth getting angry over a lunatic like this."

This secret realm of the initial screening of the Tianjiao Road has many bluestone squares. There is only one Tianjiao in each square. The Tianjiaos cannot see each other, and their own checkpoints do not overlap with those of others.

The geniuses who arrive at the next level early can watch the game.

But even when watching the game, the faces of all the geniuses were distorted by the power of heaven and earth, and their specific features could not be seen.

This made Chen Lu feel that the fun was a little less.

Otherwise, he actually wanted to see the expression on the face of the genius who had just wasted a rematch opportunity. It would surely be exciting.

at this time--
-
"Second level."

"This level is a battle strength test. The geniuses need to face 100,000 puppets of the same level at the same time. If you kill more than ten puppets of the same level within one stick of incense, you will pass the level."

"As a genius, I should fight ten people alone."

"Consuming a mid-grade spirit stone can instantly restore 30% of your spiritual energy."

"Consuming one Eight Desolate Fruit can instantly restore 100% of your spiritual energy."

"Consume one evil wood and you can make your voice ring louder in the ears of all the geniuses."
-
With the pop-up of the cloud panel in front of him, it means that the second level of the initial screening secret realm of Tianjiao Road has begun.

Then, Chen Lu saw the bluestone square under his feet began to expand as a whole.

Until the area expanded hundreds of times.

Only then did he stop.

Then, one hundred thousand fellow practitioners crawled out from the ground as puppets and surrounded him. The scene looked quite intimidating.

These are one hundred thousand puppets of the same level. Even if only dozens of them can attack you at the same time, it is still extremely terrifying. The participating geniuses need to not only dodge countless attacks under such a shocking pressure, but also kill ten puppets within one stick of incense to pass the level.

And this is just the initial screening of the secret realm of Tianjiao Road.

It is conceivable that one year from now, the participating geniuses will be extremely monstrous geniuses, and the worst genius will be able to fight ten people at the same level.

However, three new things have been added to this level.

You can consume spiritual stones or natural treasures to restore your own spiritual energy or communicate with other geniuses. It is also a test of the genius's own financial resources or the forces behind him.

Also.

Since you are a genius, you should satisfy the four conditions of wealth, friends, Dharma and land.

Even if he is a genius among independent cultivators, he will not be without the condition of wealth when encountering a fortuitous encounter. If he lacks this condition, he cannot be considered a genius.

"."

Chen Lu glanced at the countless cultivation puppets around him, and his expression gradually became strange. In other words, all the people who passed the initial screening of the secret realm would be his opponents on the road to becoming a genius in the future.

In this case
He also didn't mind adding some spice to the Dao hearts of his future opponents in advance.

Didn't think much about it.

The moment the restrictions of heaven and earth disappeared, spiritual energy suddenly surged out. He didn't even test whether he could go straight to the third level by passing through the clouds this time. It suddenly surged out accompanied by violent storms and black clouds.

More than 200,000 thunder dragons filled the sky above the entire square.

"boom!!!"

The terrifying pressure carrying countless arcs of electricity exploded in the middle of the bluestone square.

When the smoke clears.

He has appeared in the bluestone square of the third level, and he is still ranked first on the list on the stone tablet.
-
"Ranking of fastest clearance of the second level."

"No. 1" on the list: Chen Lu, the leader of the Chaotian Sect, took one breath to kill 100,000 puppets.

"."
-
No one else has cleared the level except him.

Combat capability evaluation of the same level of cultivation?

It makes no sense to him at all.

Not to mention a hundred thousand puppets of the same cultivation level, even if there were a million puppets of the same cultivation level, as long as these one million puppets of the same cultivation level were not magic puppets and could cast spells at him at the same time, they would all be ants that could be easily killed.

To him, the term "invincible in the same level" is a bit of an insult.

Then he looked at the battle scenes of other geniuses on the bluestone square floating in the air, and then at the thousands of evil trees in his storage ring, and the corners of his mouth began to rise.

These thousands of evil trees were given to him by the leader of Chaotian Sect that day. He planned to return them before the Tianjiao Secret Realm began, but the other party didn't want them.

After entering this secret realm, his connection with the small world was cut off.

But the things in the storage ring can still be used.

"Cough cough."

He took out hundreds of evil woods and threw them on the ground. He sat cross-legged on the bluestone square, holding a piece of evil wood in his hand, looking at the scene in the air where other geniuses were still fighting fiercely, ready to give some encouragement.

next moment--

A voice reached the ears of all the geniuses.

"The leader of Chaotian Sect, Chen Lu, used a fierce wood: "You haven't passed the level yet? I'm anxious to go home for dinner."

"That's great. I see the end of this generation of geniuses in you."

"The food is really getting cold."

"Do you want to join Chaotian Sect? Recruit disciples and kowtow to us."

"Why don't you guys talk? Don't you like talking?"

Just when Chen Lu was giving encouragement to this group of geniuses with great interest, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Li Shiyi, a true disciple of Daojian Sect, used a piece of evil wood: "Your elders spent a lot of money to prepare the evil wood for you, not for you to use it to speak. Do your elders know that you are wasting it? It's just a joke. You are a piece of trash who got the first place by chance. "

"Hey."

Chen Lu suddenly grinned, waved his hand, and all three hundred evil trees on the ground suddenly disappeared.

"What?"

"What?"

More than three hundred voices continued, like noise, ringing continuously in the ears of all the geniuses, and then he slowly added a sentence.

"The leader of Chaotian Sect, Chen Lu, used a piece of evil wood: "Do you think I have any money in my pocket? You are still cultivating immortals without any money. Go home and chop wood."

"Don't you see I'm the clan leader? Do you think I can just follow my elders around and beg for food like you do?"

"Call me daddy and I'll give you some candy?"

"Speak."

""Silent again.""

"Look at your sword. Tsk, I have a friend named Bai Yi. Let him teach you something someday."

""And that Wanfa Sect guy, really, don't even mention you're a Dharma practitioner, you're bringing shame to Dharma practitioners.""

""And you, the Saint Son named Zhang Mo, tsk tsk tsk, forget it, I won't say anything harsh, you can experience it yourself.""

"Are you really geniuses? Have I come to the wrong place? I remember that the token in my hand is not a useless token."

「“.”」

After Chen Lu tirelessly used five or six hundred pieces of evil wood, cracks finally appeared in the Dao hearts of these geniuses.

Originally in the second level.

You have to concentrate on dodging every incoming attack, and then after dodging countless attacks, counterattack the puppets and kill as many puppets as possible. This is a battle process of licking blood on the edge of a knife.

But amidst countless mocking voices in my ears.

Especially Li Shiyi, who was the focus of Chen Lu's attention, had a hideous look on his face, his eyes were red, and his inner anger was burning to the point that he wanted to rush to Chen Lu at all costs and pierce his heart with thousands of swords to relieve his hatred!

After a stick of incense.

With Chen Lu's tireless encouragement, there were originally 1298 geniuses who passed the first level, but now there are only 438.

The third level is Bluestone Square.

Li Shiyi's emotions were on the verge of collapse. He knew many of the geniuses participating in the competition, and he was usually considered a leader in everyone's mind. But now he was ridiculed more than two hundred times in public.

He was almost going crazy at this point.

He swore that he had never wanted to kill someone so much in his life!

Especially when he saw Chen Lu's eye-catching name and his extremely puzzling record on the stone tablet ranking list.
-
"Ranking of fastest clear of the first level."

"No. 1" on the list: Chen Lu, the leader of the Chaotian Sect, took one breath to kill 100,000 puppets.

"."

"List 17": Li Shiyi, a true disciple of Daojian, took one stick of incense to kill 987 puppets.
-
In one breath, he killed 100,000 fellow practitioners and turned them into puppets.

He really couldn't imagine what kind of genius in Xuantian Continent could achieve this. It was completely impossible.

He dared to guarantee it with his own life, so Chen Lu must have used some special mechanism, otherwise it would be impossible to do this.

If Chen Lu hadn't affected his mind, he would never have been just 17th, he should have been at least in the top five. He was a swordsman and was good at attacking, so the second level should have been his forte.

But under the influence of Chen Lu.

He should have been shining, but he was only ranked 17th.
-
“It’s very tiring.”

Chen Lu looked at the names of other geniuses on the stone tablet ranking list and let out a long sigh. There was nothing he could do. He was a little worried that if he couldn't beat these geniuses on the road in the future, that would be terrible.

There is still one year before Tianjiao Road opens.

Within this year, these geniuses will become stronger. Of course, this was the original plan. As for now, these geniuses have to start thinking about how to fill their own Dao hearts.

If there is something wrong with your Tao heart, don't even think about becoming stronger.

The strength will decline.

From Li Shiyi's words, he once again understood that the evil wood was a very valuable thing in the Xuantian Continent outside. After returning, he would go to Liu Zide to check on the progress and try to buy up all the evil wood in Feizhou.

In this way, after the shackles of the Great Xia Kingdom are broken and it is integrated with the Xuantian Continent.

This evil wood of his is also a huge fortune.

Just a few hundred evil trees in exchange for the loss of the Tao hearts of his future opponents, he felt it was more cost-effective.

Unfortunately, the evil wood can only be used in the second level.

It is no longer available.

Otherwise, he wanted to train these geniuses in Taoism throughout the whole process. Sometimes the way to improve strength is not just to make yourself stronger. Making your future opponents weaker is also a part of enhancing strength.

As he declines, I grow.

This strength is not improving faster.

At this time, almost all the geniuses standing on the bluestone square of the third level had gloomy faces and were filled with anger. Basically everyone here had been singled out and ridiculed by Chen Lu.

Chen Lu knew very well that the power of taunting someone by name was the greatest. If you taunt someone in general, many people would pretend not to hear it, but if you are called by name, it would be impossible to pretend not to hear it.

then
Chen Lu, with his own strength.

All the geniuses standing on the bluestone square of the third level suffered the greatest humiliation in their lives. What they wanted to do most now was not to pass the third level, but to find that damn Chaotian Sect at all costs after getting out!
Find that sect leader and chop off his head!
Throw your body to the dogs!
