"There really is a nine-step ladder. I've heard about it before, but I never thought about being on the Clumsy Peak."

"Nowadays, the Ninth Stairway is almost submerged in dust. This place is deserted and deserted. It has long lost its former glory. Who else would want to climb the Ninth Stairway?"

"This place is not what it used to be. There are few people here, and it has long since declined."

The seven or eight young disciples discussed in low voices, very disapproving, with contempt in their words.

"Back then, how many amazing and talented people climbed the ladder and were proud of it..." Li Ruoyu sighed.

"Uncle Li, you can't keep thinking about the past." Several young disciples chuckled, disapproving.

"The so-called test is to climb the ninth stone steps?" Ji Ziyue was very curious and felt that there was nothing special about such a test.

"Yes, you can try it." Li Ruoyu nodded.

"Clumsy Peak's future genius, let's see if you can pass the test."

"You must stand firm, and don't fail to pass even one step."

Several young Taixuan disciples chuckled, thinking that Ji Ziyue and Ye Fan were just playing tricks, and they didn't believe that they could pass the test.

Facing the teasing, Ji Ziyue didn't care, and walked lightly, like a butterfly, towards the ninth ladder.

The so-called nine-step heavenly ladder is made of nine kinds of ancient jade, with different colors, no bright light, only a little bit of crystal.

Ji Ziyue climbed the first jade step, the green ancient jade brilliance flashed and rippling out, she looked very relaxed.Stepping forward again, the second jade stair suddenly flushed red, the red glow was a little bit, she felt the pressure, and her eyebrows frowned slightly.When the third step fell, the blue ancient jade was scattered, and it became crystal clear. She felt that her steps were heavy.

The fourth step, the fifth step... At the seventh step, she felt that it was difficult to take a step, it was as heavy as a mountain, and she was dripping with sweat.

She didn't know that Li Ruoyu had already shown surprise when she climbed the third ladder, and was already dumbfounded when she climbed the seventh ladder.

"boom!"

Ji Ziyue's eighth step fell, the ancient jade was shining, and the purple jade ladder was stepped on by her. She felt as if she was carrying the blue sky on her back, and she was so oppressed that she couldn't breathe.

"boom!"

After the ninth step fell, she stepped on the last step, and there was a burst of celestial music, five-color brilliance soared into the sky, and seven-colored auras emerged.She successfully climbed the nine steps of the ladder, and the clumsy peak is full of differences.

"This..." Li Ruoyu was shocked, his body was trembling slightly, and he couldn't believe it, and said to himself: "In the past, I heard that people who can climb to the seventh level are already considered immortal. You are a genius, I don't know if anyone has climbed the ninth step of the ladder..."

Beside, those young disciples all had expressions of disbelief, none of them expected such a result, that the declining Clumsy Peak actually ushered in a peerless genius.

When Ji Ziyue understood the situation, she immediately regretted it. She thought that she had to step through every step of the ladder, but she never thought that there was no need to do so.She stuck out her tongue secretly, and said to herself with a sad face: "It's over, I didn't want to come here to show off, what should I do now?"

"It's impossible, is she better than the former sages?"

"Over the years, most of the nine ladders have been damaged, otherwise how could it be possible to pass all of them."

Several young disciples found it hard to believe it.

At this moment, a blue rainbow flew over from the main peak in front, and a middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s landed down, cupped his hands at Li Ruoyu, and said, "I've seen Senior Brother Li."

"Greetings to Master Uncle." Beside, those young disciples saluted the middle-aged man.

"I just saw that Zhuofeng seems to have a strange phenomenon flashing past. I came to take a look. I don't know what happened?"

"Master Uncle just now..." Several young disciples quickly told what happened just now.

"What?!" The middle-aged man was also shocked.

The figures flickered, and another seven or eight figures descended, all with white hair and beards, also coming from the main peak in front... Xingfeng.

After these people understood the situation, they all showed shock, and then invited Li Ruoyu aside, with a look of embarrassment.

Don't talk about Li Ruoyu, even the young disciples next to him also guessed their thoughts. They must have been shocked by Ji Ziyue's aptitude and wanted to accept him as a disciple of "Xingfeng".

"I understand what you mean." Li Ruoyu sighed, and said: "Now that the Clumsy Peak is in decline, letting such a talented and beautiful person stay here is really hindering her cultivation. As long as she is willing, you can take her away. .”

All the old men bowed their hands to Li Ruoyu and expressed their gratitude. They were somewhat ashamed to rob his disciples like this.

In an instant, Ji Ziyue was completely surrounded by several old people from Xingfeng, all of them were very kind, as if watching a treasure, they kept nodding.

"Hey, hey, white-bearded grandpas, don't laugh like this, why do you feel like a big bad wolf?" Ji Ziyue whispered dissatisfied.

Several old people couldn't help laughing, they didn't care, they spoke in turn, praised Ji Ziyue, told him about Xingfeng's brilliance, and directly stated that they wanted to accept her as Xingfeng's disciple.

"I just want to join the Clumsy Peak, and I'm not interested in other main peaks."

"Clumsy Peak has been in decline for many years, and there is no inheritance left, while Xingfeng is extremely prosperous, and now it ranks among the top three among the [-] main peaks."

"But, I really have no interest in Xingfeng."

Beside, those young disciples were all stunned. Some elders persuaded them so much, but some people didn't appreciate it at all, and they didn't care.

"You must want to learn the legendary secret art, right? However, it has been cut off for many years, and you won't be able to get it if you stay here." Several old people followed the temptation and spoke in turn, saying: "Once you join the Clumsy Peak, Then you can't re-enter other main peaks, but other main peak disciples can choose again."

"Yes, you can join my Xingfeng first, and if the inheritance of this place reappears, you can come back again."

Beside, those disciples were very uncomfortable, never thought that the elders of Xingfeng would be so humble in order to accept disciples, this is really incomparable.

"Let me think about it..." Ji Ziyue accidentally got the limelight, which was not in line with her original intention. She rolled her big eyes and said, "Well, I can join Xingfeng, but don't let them mess around." Talk." She pointed to a few young disciples beside her, she wanted to hide in the Taixuan Sect, and didn't want to be noticed prematurely.

"You can rest assured..." Several old people in Xingfeng all laughed.

Ji Ziyue knew that the Taixuan Sect, as a super powerful force, would definitely investigate the identities of its disciples, but she didn't care much, even if the other party found out, it would be fine.As long as she can stay in hiding for a few months and temporarily stay out of the sight of those in the Ji family who want to harm her, presumably even if the Taixuan sect finds out her true identity, they will definitely turn a blind eye. It is even very possible to use this to establish a relationship with Ji's family.

The final result was that Ji Ziyue would join Xingfeng in a low-key manner and become their disciple.

"There is one more person, let's see how his aptitude is?" The people present were also very interested in Ye Fan's roots. He came here with Ji Ziyue, maybe he is also a genius.

Ye Fan completely sealed the bitter sea, as firm as iron, without any waves, he didn't want to expose his physique casually.

"When a dragon walks like a tiger, the roots should be extraordinary..."

Before the people next to him finished speaking, Ye Fan had already stepped onto the first step of the ladder, and with a flash of green light, he flew upside down a few meters and fell to the ground.

"This... hasn't even passed the first step?!"

"This kind of qualification is too..." The people next to him stopped talking, feeling quite speechless.

"Junior Brothers, let's make some accommodations and take him into Xingfeng too." Li Ruoyu spoke for Ye Fan beside him.

"This..." Several old people in Xingfeng groaned for a while, but finally nodded, snatching away a genius, and taking into account Li Ruoyu's feelings in everything they said.

"Thank you seniors for your kindness, I don't want to join Xingfeng, I just want to stay here." Ye Fan saluted several people and said.

All the elders present looked at each other in blank dismay, what happened today?When did Clumsy Peak become so attractive? The extremely prosperous Xingfeng was repeatedly rejected.It is understandable for the previous geniuses to be proud of their talents, but now a young man with frowning aptitude is doing the same, which is really a blow to them.
