Cinderella: The Legend of Yunhua

Half a year passed in a flash, and finally came the day of the big competition in the door.

In the early morning of this day, there was the sound of a bell ringing in the void, and a faint male voice drifted out in the void, "The big competition in the sect starts today, and the disciples who have obtained the qualifications for the competition will gather at the front of the lecture hall."

Lian Que and other outer disciples of the Foundation Establishment Stage flew towards the top of the mountain with their swords, and the five elements of light appeared in the sky, all of which were the brilliance emitted by the disciples' true energy. It was very lively.

This time, 200 of the [-] outer sect disciples successfully established their foundations, and they were fortunate to be able to participate in this competition.Standing in front of the lecture hall, they were secretly competing with each other.

Not long after, a person floated from far away in the air. The person who came was the Yuanying Zhenjun, with a golden crown on his head, a majestic appearance, wearing a robe of the deacon hall, and the robe was shining with spiritual light. He said, "I am the head of the deacon hall. Ping Tao is responsible for the selection of this competition." It turned out that this Elder Guan is the uncle of Zhu Zhiling's neighbor Guan Tianyun.After saying that, Elder Guan took out a piece of white jade from his sleeve robe, lightly threw it into the air, and muttered the magic formula in his mouth, the piece of white jade swelled up, spread far to both ends, and unexpectedly developed It forms an extremely long ladder, suspended above the mountains.

Elder Guan said in a solemn voice, "Disciples participating in the competition, please go up the ladder. At the end of this ladder is the martial arts arena for the competition. Those who can walk to the martial arts arena by themselves are considered to have passed the first test. Those who give up halfway or Anyone who accidentally falls will be eliminated."

The following disciples were a little excited after hearing this.Among the 200 people, some of them had participated in the last big competition. Seeing today's situation, they all thought that this test was obviously much lighter than the first test last time, and they secretly rejoiced that they had some luck.

Following Elder Guan's order, more than 20 disciples who couldn't hold back the palpitations in their hearts rushed up the ladder with their flying swords.Everyone hopes to be the first to pass this level and win the first place, and to make a beautiful appearance in the martial arts arena, so that the seniors who plan to recruit disciples this time can remember themselves.

Lian Que and Zhu Zhiling did not leave in a hurry.This ladder looks simple, but it must have its own difficulties, otherwise the elders in the door would not take it out at will.

The two of them were still thinking about it, when they saw the first group of people rushing up the ladder fell off the flying sword just as they touched the ladder, and immediately fell off the cloud head.

Seeing the embarrassment of the group of people, Elder Guan showed a look of contempt, and waved a white cloud to catch the twenty or so people firmly, saying, "You have been eliminated, go back on your own!"

The disciples who were still staying on the ground were shocked. Isn't Elder Guan's seemingly indifferent move just to test his character?How can you easily pass the assessment if you just think about it for a while?For a while, everything was quiet, and everyone silently waited for someone to test how to climb the ladder first.

Lian Que had already made calculations in his mind, thinking that since he was deliberately testing everyone in the school, it would not be easy for people to fly to the martial arts field with a sword, and it would be appropriate to walk on foot without borrowing the flying magic weapon.He whispered his thoughts to Zhu Zhiling, and the two hit it off immediately, ignoring the other's excuses and concessions, striding forward, standing under the ladder, taking a mouthful of true energy, and lightly jumped up ladder.

Sure enough, this ladder is for everyone to walk on foot.

The people on the ground saw that the two climbed up the ladder safely, and followed suit one after another.

Lian Que stood on the ladder, and found that the white jade ladder was soft and sluggish like mud.Stepping on it with one foot quickly sank deeply into the depths of the ladder, but it was very difficult to pull out the leg again.This ladder is very strange. Since it came up, the true energy in the body has flowed down, as if it was sucked, it was firmly imprisoned near the Taichong acupoint. Except for a trace that can be extracted and used on the feet, the rest of the body cannot Affect the true essence.At this moment, the body is like a mortal, but the physical body is stronger.Lian Que looked around and found that everyone seemed to be like this, so he settled down, maybe this is the way to test everyone in the door.

When the cultivation reaches the foundation establishment, it is rare to directly exercise the physical body.At this moment, the aura is imprisoned on the soles of the feet, and only a little bit of real energy can be activated to guide the feet for people to walk.If you want to finish this extremely difficult ladder that stretches for more than 100 miles, you need to rely on the deep accumulation of spiritual energy.The method of this test is really wonderful.

Lian Que settled down, pulled out a sliver of true essence that existed on the bottom of his feet, pulled out his left leg that was sunk in the ladder, and took a big step forward.This is really difficult to walk, the feet seem to be dragging heavy shackles, and every step forward will exhaust the strength of the whole body.

Zhu Zhiling walked beside Lian Que, and he was not feeling well, sweating profusely.She said, "This weird ladder looks peaceful, but when I walk on it, it feels like I have fallen on a sharp knife. Every step I take is excruciatingly painful."

"Why do you think there are sharp knives hidden under your feet? But I seem to be shackled and dragged down heavily. I think that on this ladder, everyone faces different tests." Lian Que was very surprised that there were thousands of people on the ladder. General changes.

"Let's do it for ourselves." Zhu Zhiling said lightly.

The two endured all kinds of discomfort and moved forward step by step.

After a difficult journey, the companions on the road gradually dispersed.Some people are biting their teeth, always rushing to the forefront, hoping to be the first to appear in the martial arts arena; The accidents in the back are barely keeping up, and they don't want to be left behind; the group that is far behind is those who have a weak foundation and barely rushed into the foundation but have no power to continue.These people's complexions are very ugly, and they can keep moving forward completely relying on their thoughts. Their feet have already been trampled in mid-air like cotton, and they have no consciousness at all.

In the middle of the day, the hot sun splashed on his body and shone brightly in his eyes.Lian Que was extremely thirsty, as if he could drink a large tank of water.He silently recited the Qingxin mantra to wake himself up, and told himself that he had passed the initial and most unbearable stage, and now he just needed to follow the steps as usual in meditation practice.

Every time he took a step, he had to carefully calculate and pour a little bit of spiritual power into his feet, no more and no less, so that he could control the spiritual energy precisely, and dared not waste even a single bit of energy.This ladder has only gone halfway, and no one knows what will be ahead, so it is necessary to save strength for the latter part of the journey.So, he adjusted his breathing to the slowest, sinking his consciousness into his dantian, focusing only on his feet without distracting his mind.In this way, the five senses are weakened and I feel a lot better.

And those who fell at the end saw fewer and fewer people, and were gradually eliminated.

In the afternoon, more than 40 people had been removed from the ladder.

Some of the people left behind felt exhausted looking at the endless journey ahead, and their hearts inevitably became restless, and their mood became a little unstable.At this moment, Lian Que was focused on his feet and was not disturbed by external objects. He regarded the ladder as a road to search for the great road. Now that there is no end in sight, it is better to be patient and take the road steadily step by step. If you persist until the end, you will be able to succeed.He encouraged himself so much, and Zhu Zhiling beside him was also a person with an extraordinary heart, without any hesitation.

The two seemed to be following the crowd, but at the same time they seemed to stand apart from the crowd.

……

On the other side, a circle of Jindan and Nascent Soul cultivators sat in mid-air on the martial arts arena.A phantom mirror rises in the center of the ground in the martial arts arena, reflecting all the outer disciples participating in the competition in the phantom mirror.Wen Haoran sat beside Mo Yunhua, staring at Lian Que intently, seeing that Lian Que's mind was stable, he praised, "This child is a person with a firm mind." Mo Yunhua didn't answer, just watched Lian Que quietly. Missing every move.

……

After walking for an unknown amount of time, many people on the ladder were exhausted, and when they were about to exhaust their stored spiritual energy, a hurricane suddenly blew up in the midair. The magnitude is huge.Many people didn't pay attention, they were shaken and staggered, and accidentally slipped under the ladder.

Lian Que took out the true energy accumulated in the bottom of his feet and poured it all under his feet, standing firmly on the ladder.Zhu Zhiling was also prepared. Although he was a little embarrassed at the beginning, he finally stood firm.The hurricane lasted for more than half an hour, and several people were blown off the ladder due to lack of spiritual power.

When the hurricane passed, the rest of the people continued on the road.

After going through this last difficult road, I finally saw a group of people sitting on the clouds in the martial arts arena, about ten miles away.

Those disciples who were about to lose their strength were relieved to see their destination in front of them, but just as these people relaxed their defenses, a group of big birds sprang out of the sky.This group of big birds was very vicious, rushing straight towards the crowd with their sharp beaks.They fanned a gust of wind with their wings, and it hurt people like being cut by a knife, and the pain was unbearable.All the disciples don't have spiritual body protection at this moment, and they can only endure the pain. Right now, there is no other way but to infuse spiritual energy on their feet to stand firmly, so as not to be blown out of the ladder by the big bird. Showing a very painful look.

This group of birds seems to have been instructed by someone, vowing to drive them off the ladder, which seems to be endless.

Lian Que stood on the ladder with a calm mind.He understands that the hardships and hardships he will encounter in the future on this boundless road of search will be hundreds of times and thousands of times worse than the pain in front of him. He can't stand this little test at this moment, so there is no need to talk about immortality.It should only be God's test of one's determination to seek the Tao, and one must not be weak.With such a state of mind, the awe-inspiring look in his eyes seemed to frighten the big birds around him, and they all gave way to him.

He got this opportunity, and he didn't care that the wounds on his body that were pecked by birds were bleeding, so he moved his true energy under his feet and walked forward in one go.At this moment, what he relied on was an unyielding will, even though those pains and dangers blocked him, he still had to forge ahead alone.

Some people behind him were encouraged by his momentum, and they also strengthened their will just like him.This group of big birds is very strange, they seem to be able to see through people's state of mind, if you strengthen your mind, they will let you go, if you can't, they will keep entangled with you until they drive you out of the ladder.

Gradually, more and more people broke through the group of big birds and walked towards the finish line.

There are many hardships and hardships along the way, and a person's cultivation, heart and will are tested from the subtleties.In order to obtain a qualified disciple, the seniors of the Shangqing Sect have gone to great lengths.

If he can walk through this ladder, it means that this disciple has a solid foundation in cultivation, profound spiritual power, and at the same time, a person with a tough heart and a stable Dao heart.

Because Lian Que had no distractions, he became the first person to rush out of the ladder.As soon as he got off the ladder, his steps became unsteady.Looking around, he was standing on a huge stone platform, which was the martial arts field that he and Baguio passed by that day.In mid-air, people sat around the martial arts arena, all of whom were above Jindan.Those people have different expressions, some are probing, some are serious, some are kind, and some are indifferent. They are all looking for the person they like in their own way.Lian Que quickly glanced at the crowd, and soon found Mo Yunhua in the crowd, sitting beside Wen Haoran, looking calmly at the outer disciples in the martial arts arena.

Lian Que took a deep breath, faintly expecting Mo Yunhua's arrival.It's just that at this moment, he was exhausted and had no time to distract himself from thinking, so he bowed to the crowd and said, "I have met you seniors, and my disciple's name is Lian Que." After speaking, he found a corner to meditate and heal his injuries.At this time, I have only passed the first round, and I still need to cultivate enough energy to face the challenges that follow.

Wen Haoran and Mo Yunhua in the stands were all watching the blood-stained man in the corner with a calm expression. It was expected that he would pass the test and enter the inner gate this time.
