Chapter 498 Looking back again, meeting again.

Young Ye Zi walked forward step by step.

When I came here, every time I took a step forward, it seemed like a mountain was pressing down.

Moreover, the illusion is no longer just an illusion, including the feeling, it also has the same pain.

Those bugs, even if they are illusory, can bring substantial pain when they jump on the body.

No wonder, even these geniuses, Long Aotian, Ye Liangchen, and Prince Dali were stuck here.

This feeling is indeed very unbearable.

Thousands of insects devoured the heart, and, the sky above the head, and the mountain seemed to be on the shoulders.

But although the young Ye Zi has no qualifications, he has a firm will beyond imagination.

One step after another, he surpassed Long Aotian and threw away Ye Liangchen.

Everyone couldn't help being amazed. Those who passed the trial were all determined people, but there were still a small number of people who were determined to such a degree.

"This guy is a genius!"

Even the gazes of some Xianmen elders were attracted by the young Ye Zi. After all, there are many elders who are paying attention to the affairs here.

People with this kind of will, once they set foot on the road of cultivating immortals, will definitely stand out from the crowd.

In this way, the young Ye Zi finally reached the 490th ninth step.

One step away is the true inheritance.

Everyone held their breath and stared at this scene closely, not daring to make a sound, worried that it would affect this young man and affect the birth of a true disciple.

"The 490th step is the real test. Throughout the ages, there are countless people who can walk up to [-] steps, but there are only a few people who can climb the true pass!"

Finally, the foot was gently lifted and firmly landed on the [-]th step.

hum!
Suddenly, the whole mountain shook slightly, and a khaki-yellow light rose into the sky.

"Success or failure depends on one move!" Someone whispered, if you can step on it and stand firm, it is true.

At the same time, the young Ye Zi also felt a shock in his mind.

However, he was only slightly shocked, and immediately recovered, walking up normally.

"How is it possible! How could he be so relaxed?" Someone exclaimed.

The [-]th step is a test of the soul and the soul. Even not long ago, the true disciple Fang Qingxue was stuck on the [-]th step for half a stick of incense, so he is considered a genius.

But why, the five hundredth step had no effect on him?

Did it fail?
impossible!If it fails, Ye Liangchen, Long Aotian and the others would have already gone up.

unless……

Inside the mountain gate, many elders thought of something, and couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice: "The heart of a child!"

"It is said that only a true seeker with the heart of a child can have a perfect mind, be free from the responsibility of heaven and earth, and not be questioned by all Taos."

"Children's heart, there really is such a person?" Someone couldn't believe it.In the world, there is a lot of noise and material desires, and people are full of emotions and desires. Even immortal cultivators fight for all kinds of immortal cultivating resources and treasures. The heart of a child is simply a joke.

But now, the facts are in front of them.

"It's not impossible! Although this son spoke without rules before, it is enough to prove that he has a simple mind and is free and unrestrained. This kind of person doesn't understand anything, doesn't understand anything, and doesn't care about anything, just like a piece of white paper , there are infinite possibilities!" Someone sighed.

"My son, I'm going to make a decision!" Some elders were delighted.

"Old man Yang, do you dare to rob me? This old man has lived most of his life, and his lifespan is approaching, and he finally met a good seedling! Whoever robs me is my enemy!"

Inside the mountain gate, many elders' minds were alive and they almost fought.How high will a cultivator with a heart of innocence achieve in the future?It's unimaginable.

An elder scolded: "Don't fight, if he can climb to the top and worship the teacher as his teacher, wouldn't you be wasting your time?"

Immediately, everyone else fell silent.Although they are elders, they are thousands of miles away from the head teacher.

"Let's take a look again. Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps are unprecedented. I don't believe he can go up!" said an elder in a low voice.

The other elders also nodded one after another, hoping that the young man could create a miracle, but also hoped that he would not make it.

Of course, the people outside the mountain don't know about this. If they know about this scene, their jaws will drop in shock.Is this still a cultivator?Where did the breezy appearance go?How to scold the street like a hooligan?
There is still half of the ladder to climb, and the test is not over yet.

"Look, he's gone!"

Suddenly, there was an exclamation.

Everyone noticed that the young Ye Zi's figure suddenly disappeared from sight.

"It's time for us to act!" The ears of the elders moved, as if they had gained some kind of transmigration, they smiled, and disappeared in a flash.

After the young Ye Zi took the [-]th step, the scene in front of him completely changed.

It is no longer like before, with corpses all over the field and bugs flying around, but the scene of fairy mist and cranes soaring.In this way, it is truly in line with the temperament of the fairy family's blessed land.

He walked forward carelessly. There was only a small road ahead, which was full of fog and could not be seen clearly.

Suddenly, with a flash of light, two figures appeared in front of him.

"Young man, what's your name?" One of them, with white hair and long beard, looks very similar to the fairy in the storybook.

"My name is Ye Zi!" The boy looked at him curiously.

"Yezi, yes, very good!" The white-haired and long-bearded old man smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have passed the test of climbing the ladder, you can choose to become a disciple of one of us, reborn, and embark on the road of immortality!"

Young Ye Zi thought for a moment, but passed by them and continued to walk forward.

"why?"

The old man with white hair and long beard asked: "Are you going to give up the chance to cultivate immortals? As long as you worship us as teachers, you can become a true disciple. This is the dream of countless people."

"Yes. But it's not my dream!" The young man nodded seriously, and then underestimated: "The whole journey is an illusion, who knows if you are real?"

Everyone was stunned, this guy was actually afraid of encountering an illusion, afraid that the old man would lie to him.

The old man was also speechless, and said in a low voice: "I promise not to lie to you, I promise with my personality that I have cultivated for 3000 years, don't leave, if you miss this village, you will lose this temple!"

"I can still go."

Young Ye Zi replied: "If I want to go, I have to go to the end. I want to see what's behind."

The elders of Xianmen hidden in the dark were all surprised when they heard it.

This is the first one to reject them since the ladder was established.

In the past, if someone could take this step and met an elder accepting a disciple, he would be happy to be a teacher without thinking too much, but now, he unexpectedly encountered a strange thing.Isn't he afraid of offending the elders after refusing?

However, the young Ye Zi’s experience in those few months on the merchant ship told him that there is no need to worry at all, as long as you can go high enough, you can see farther and more people.

Young Ye Zi walked forward, and after rejecting the invitation of the two elders, a light flashed in front of his eyes, and what appeared was a room full of books.

"Trial in the Sutra Pavilion!" Some elders gasped.

The ladder to the sky is hidden in the formation, and everything that happens can't satisfy them!

The Sutra Pavilion is naturally the Sutra Pavilion of Yuhua Xianmen.

Although this is illusory, it is also the projection of the real Sutra Pavilion. Only those who have climbed the [-] steps of the ladder are eligible to come here and choose exercises.

That's right, the exercises in the Sutra Pavilion are free to choose.

This is the gap.

Within a hundred steps, you can only become a handyman.Learn some superficial boxing skills.

From [-] steps to [-] steps, one can become an outer disciple, learn high-pitched kung fu and some simple breathing techniques, become a master of the inner family, and be able to defeat ten thousand in the secular world.

And three hundred steps to five hundred steps can become an inner disciple, that is the real disciple of Yuhua Xianmen, they are their own people, they can practice simple Qi refining techniques, and some simple spells.

Not to mention becoming a true disciple, you can worship the elders, the appearance of the elders in the past few times explained everything.

And walking to the Sutra Pavilion, this is simply a great treatment.You must know that even true disciples cannot enter the Sutra Pavilion at will. They can only enter the Sutra Pavilion to choose a skill when they are rewarded.

But the young Yezi, now, has the opportunity to read all the exercises in the Sutra Pavilion, and choose at will.

Not long ago, a disciple came here, that is Fang Qingxue.

Fang Qingxue simply chose a book of lightning-type exercises and left.

And this young man, what kind of exercise will he choose?
Everyone became curious.

"It's a great opportunity to go to the Sutra Pavilion, but it's a good thing that you don't see it!" An elder whispered a story of the past.

3000 years ago, it happened when the old man with white hair and long beard participated in climbing the ladder.

However, there is also a young man who is talented in the sky and came to the Sutra Pavilion. Unfortunately, that man has good aptitude and pride, and he must practice the strongest kung fu.

However, in the world's kung fu, who is weak and who is strong, how to say accurately?Even elders like them don't know what is the strongest skill in the Sutra Pavilion, let alone a young man who has never practiced it.

The final result is that the young man, after reading one book after another, is still dissatisfied and always feels that there are better ones ahead. In the end, he spent a lot of energy and can only choose a mediocre exercise , the biggest missed opportunity.

A shining fairy gate appeared in front of the young leaves.

Without hesitation, he stepped on it.

In the next second, the sky was full of auspiciousness, and a ray of light swept across the sky.

He entered the Sutra Pavilion.

All the elders stared at the young man closely, wanting to see what exercise he would choose.

This is a chance, but also requires a certain amount of luck.

If you are lucky, you will encounter a powerful technique, and you will naturally practice at a rapid pace.However, the Sutra Pavilion is all-encompassing, and not all of them are good exercises.There are even many incomplete skills.

Sunshine and auspicious air enveloped the Buddhist scriptures pavilion.

"This is the Sutra Pavilion? Is that where the Yuhua Immortal Sect releases its exercises?"

The young man stood in front of the Sutra Pavilion, looking up at the tall building that soared to the sky.

His heart was pounding, as if it resonated with the tall buildings.

Pushing open the door of the Sutra Pavilion, the young Ye Zi stepped in.

Although everything is illusory, at this time, it feels real.The Sutra Pavilion was not built in any age, the wooden boards creaked when stepped on, and there was a faint smell of books inside.

Young Ye Zi picks up a book and flips through it. They are all small ways of cultivation, but they are very detailed. There are also a lot of humanistic anecdotes, small ways and gossip in the world of cultivating immortals. The young Ye Zi also reads them very interestingly.

"Isn't he in a hurry to find exercises?" The elders of the Xianmen were dumbfounded.In the past, people who came this far would go straight to the second floor, where the exercises were all high-level immortal exercises.Take Fang Qingxue as an example, that's exactly the case. If they have such an opportunity, they will definitely seize the time to find advanced exercises.

"Those who don't know are fearless!" An elder sighed softly, he understood that this young man, with a pure heart, doesn't move at all, and doesn't know anything about the world of cultivating immortals, on the contrary, he doesn't care much.

At this time, Long Aotian and Ye Liangchen had already gone down the mountain. After all, they failed to ascend to the position of true biography. They looked at the mountain with some discouragement, with a little envy in their eyes. That guy hasn't come down yet. How far can he go? far?
Although it is only one floor, there are as many heavenly scriptures here as there are stars, from asking immortals to help Luan, asking yarrows, to resting food and guarding valleys, quiet and inaction, there are all kinds of types.

Young Ye Zi seems to be obsessed, he reads very quickly, one book after another, but he can't finish reading, it seems that everything has been left behind, just like that, time is slowly passing by, the outside world, the sun is setting , night fell, and the day was almost over.

And this day is the last day for recruiting disciples. When the time is up, the ladder will be closed, and the Sutra Pavilion will also disappear.

Finally an elder couldn't sit still, he was still the old man with white hair and long beard, he really couldn't bear the heart of a genius to "sink" like this, and said: "This won't work, I'm going to wake him up..."

Young Ye Zi looked fascinated, suddenly, the light above his head was blocked, and when he looked up, it was still the old man.

Before he could speak, the old man scolded his head and covered his face: "Do you know that the time is almost up, if you don't choose exercises, it will be too late!"

"Choose a technique?" The young man Ye Zi was a little confused, and immediately remembered something, and said in surprise: "You said, the time is almost up? The ladder is going to be closed? Not good..."

"That's right!" The old man brushed his beard, nodded approvingly, and said, "A child can be taught..."

However, the words stopped abruptly.

The old man watched in astonishment as the young Ye Zi did not go up to the second floor of the Sutra Pavilion, but turned around and ran straight to the top of the mountain.

"You...you haven't chosen a skill yet!" The old man's beard blew up.

"Let's talk about exercises and so on later. As I said, I want to go up to the top of the mountain and climb the 99 steps! To be a man, you have to keep your word and do what you say!" The boy's voice was blown away by the wind, and his The speed was too fast, and he rushed out hundreds of steps in one breath.

Finally, at the moment when the moonlight fell, he climbed to the top of the ladder.

The moonlight is bright, the fairy mist is misty, and the young Ye Zi seems to see two fairies smiling at him.

"It's over, it's still an illusion!" Young Ye Zi sat down on the ground, panting heavily.
