Chapter 222: Growing Bigger and Stronger, Creating Brilliance Again
Chapter 222 – Bigger, Stronger, More Brilliance
Along with his words, a swarm of people who had lined up were about to pour into the Heavenly Steps.
“Maintain order, maintain order!”
Su Yougen was still shouting there, “Only ten people can enter at a time, only ten people can enter, the Heavenly Steps are narrow and long, so don’t have any accidents! Let ten people in first!”
The guards blocking the mouth separated the road, letting the ten people in the front row enter, and re-blocked the entrance again.
Among these ten people, men and women, young and old, there was even an old man who needed to lean on his crutches, trembling as he ascended the Heavenly Steps.
Just as he just picked up a step, the whole person did not move, the corner of his mouth even revealed a happy smile, and then his body moved to the front of the steps as if he was pushed by something.
“Is this a failure for the old man?” The old man looked up at the cloud-entry sky step and sighed, “What a beautiful dream.”
“Old Abbot, what do you see?” Su Yougen curiously said.
“The old man saw, gold and silver everywhere, concubines, countless servants under the door, brocade clothes and jade food so happy.” The old man laughed.
“Old man good dream.” Su Yougen sniffed and arched his hand.
It was the Uncomfortable Alloy Immortal Sect.
Other people who went up the steps, some walked two or three steps to stop, some walked a little longer, but basically stopped, and then their bodies panned out, seemingly sent to the door by the clear wind.
Without exception, all failed.
“Next batch.”
Su Yougen wasn’t surprised in the slightest, letting the guards release the road and letting those who failed the test out before letting a new round of people go up.
The Heavenly Steps were long, but the place they were going to was not the top, it was just the square where they reached the outer gate.
The Golden Immortal Sect now had three places, using the Voltron Pass Ascending Heavenly Steps as a benchmark, the top tier of the True Transmission, the middle tier of the Inner Sect, and the bottom tier of the Outer Sect.
But it is this outer gate, all of them let no one enter, the person who examined, the longest is only walked a ten or so steps, then the body stops, was sent down by a wind rolled.
“Next batch.” Su Yougen’s voice continued to ring out.
In the Golden Immortal Sect’s True Transmission Square, seeing those mortals being sent down one by one through the Circular Mirror Technique, Sun Jiubei’s eyes showed regret, Suzaku smiled and didn’t know what she was thinking, as for the other three, glancing at the expressionless Song Yin there every now and then, face twisted with inner apprehension.
“Master, senior brother ah.”
Zhang Feixuan boldly stepped forward and said, “This move of assessment, what exactly is it?”
“I don’t know either.” Song Yin shook his head and said, “This appraisal divine power, I borrowed a bit from the power of the original Sumeru Vein’s demon, the ‘Mountain Ghost’, to lure people into a dream to enter an illusion, and it can allow people to discover what they want deep down in their hearts.”
“But this itself belongs to each person’s mental image, so I naturally don’t know what’s going on with them, but since they didn’t pass, they don’t meet my Golden Immortal Sect’s standard for choosing disciples.”
So you don’t know ah!
The three of them were all relieved inside ah.
“That bad old man, still thinking about brocade clothes and concubines, of course such a person can’t pass.” Wang Qizheng said in a relaxed tone.
“It has nothing to do with that.”
Song Yin shook his head and said, “Brocade clothes, jade food, wives and concubines, servants everywhere, wine pools and jade forests, that’s just human desires, my Golden Immortal Sect does not prohibit desire, it’s too normal for a person to think about something, but the premise is not to harm others. My divine ability, the further back I go, the more through the heart image, the more I can ask the heart.”
“That old abbot doesn’t just want brocade clothes and jade food so simple, in this Avatar, there must be a move to refine his heart, but it made him give in, it’s fine to have desires, but to give in to the evil way for the sake of desires, such a person, my Golden Immortal Sect surely doesn’t want it.”
Said, he pointed to a young man in the round mirror picking up the steps, said: “you and see this person, even on the thirteen steps without stopping, this represents the most basic desire is useless to him, but also represents, he has a greater pursuit in his heart, but it is the evil, that is to be seen.”
The young man in the round mirror keeps ascending the steps, even walking more than a hundred steps, his speed slows down, until he walks to more than three hundred steps, he stops completely, the corner of his mouth floats up a trace of contentment smile, and stops walking.
And then, he was blown by a wisp of yellow wind and sent to the bottom of the mountain.
People like this, there are quite a lot of people among the mortals in the examination, mostly young people, first ascending the Heavenly Steps to walk fast, to the back to get slower and slower, and finally stop.
And the one with the best results, but went up more than five hundred steps.
But this step to reach the outer door, there are always a thousand steps long, more than five hundred, only half of it.
And a whole day down, but no one to reach more than five hundred steps, until the night, people can not hold out back to rest, Song Yin only sighed, “the task is heavy and the road is long na, we also rest, tomorrow please early.”
With that, he waved his big sleeve and turned towards the hall.
“Good night all senior brothers.” Sun Jiubei also arched his hand and followed closely behind Song Yin, heading up the stairs.
“Good lord, not a single one.” Wang Qizheng saw the two of them disappear off and said quietly, “Wasn’t there a few with good qualifications? This didn’t even make it?”
Golden Immortal Sect entry only, not so exaggerated, today on the steps of the examination of the people, and he knows a few, are the root bone is good complete person, than the bottom of those who are too much better than the junior, the result is still can not pass this examination.
This is not some too harsh.
“Good thing.”
Zhang Feixuan said, “Save yourself the trouble, look at what senior brother has been doing lately, the mortals are practicing, the cannons are out, turn around when the Golden Immortal Sect has a lot of people, we are going to have to fight hard against those righteous and evil paths.”
The elder brother to help the world to save the people as their own responsibility words, sooner or later and Nanping country in the people to touch, now he does not touch, because the Golden Immortal Sect is not enough people, they plus the eldest brother is only twenty-three people, some time ago because of a hundred to guard the city are busy feet, on this point of the people, surely not enough to expand outward.
But not expanding is a good thing, he does not have the heart of the senior brother, before want to retire in the Sumeru Vein, although forced to enter the earth bar, but the good hanging did not make any big mess.
Into the master of the earth, have food and drink, free and happy, now with his previous dream is no different, who has the disease to run out ah.
“Elder brother used our heart as a template to do the test, if this comes up, what is it?” Zhang Feixuan shook his folding fan and laughed confidently.
What’s the matter, this is the place where dirt is hidden and gathered ah?
Changing Jin Guang to sit in on it, then he recognized it.
But he wouldn’t dare to recognize his brother here.
The mortals here are good, not so many want to do bad things, that’s why this can’t come up. “You have a point.” Wang Qizheng nodded.
……
The next day, the examination still continued, but again, none of them could go up to the outer gate square, and the most powerful went up to more than seven hundred steps and eventually stopped.
That person is a north fleeing to come, fortunately is a perfect person, not by the sound and soundless door sucked through, but the people in the family because of the war, all dead.
Its people tough, the heart seems to have big ambitions, but the strange thing is, he from the beginning of the steps, is a heavy step, until more than seven hundred steps really can not go up, this is a trance to stop, revealing contentment and evil smile, and then was sent down.
“I’m not convinced, I’m not convinced!”
After that person was sent to the entrance of the mountain, he hardened himself against the guards, his eye pupils were red, and he excitedly said, “I endured the brocade! I endured the resurrection of my family! I succeeded in my vengeance, I was just lost on the way to becoming a king, what’s wrong with me! What’s wrong with me!”
Then, he was crushed.
Song Yin looked within the circular mirror and sighed, “It’s a pity, the qualifications and roots are good, and the person seems to work hard, but he can’t pass that hurdle in his heart, ah, if it was only for revenge, he wouldn’t have failed the test.”
“Become a king? See yourself as a king ah?” Zhang Feixuan was surprised.
With this aptitude, he was afraid that he had done something on top of whatever becoming a king, violating the standard of assessment set by his senior brother, and that was why he had failed.
As for what the standard was .
Zhang Feixuan did not quite dare to think about it.
And other than him, the others are even worse, the best is just two or three hundred steps to stop.
On the second day of the test, there was still no one to enter.
The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day.
Five days in a row, no one was able to enter that Golden Immortal Gate test and become a Divine Immortal.
But the mortals do not feel that this is a problem, the immortals, this is the high and mighty, which is not so easy to become.
Just with the time change, the queue is less and less people, hundred guardian city mortals, but the perfect person is not so much, after the first few days of screening, there are not many people left.
Another day early in the morning, after doing the morning class, Zhang Feixuan they came to the square, through the round mirror looked at the bottom obviously much less queuing crowd, can not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This crowd was getting smaller and smaller, so it seemed like it was almost over. Senior Brother’s plan to recruit disciples this time was probably going to fail.
The yellow wind descended from the heavenly steps, Su Yougen received the signal and shouted out, “The examination begins!”
“Hunter Xu, go for it, we’re optimistic about you, you’ll definitely become a god!”
At the back of the queuing crowd, the people watching were shouting.
A middle-aged man at the front of that line turned back, somewhat blushingly clasping his fists towards them, embarrassedly saying, “I’ll try my best.”
“Brother Xu, what took you so long?”
It was Su Yougen who saw this person and asked with a smile as his eyes lit up.
That Hunter Xu laughed and said, “Actually, I should have come earlier, but someone entrusted me to go meat hunting earlier, which delayed it.”
“The gods personally accept people ah, it would be bad if I missed it, this hunting can be done anytime, right?” The person behind him spoke up.
“It’s not like that.”
Xu hunter smiled and said: “entrusted, we have to complete this, in case people need it, since the promise of people that have to do, if it is really miss, then miss it, that I do not have the fate Well, I live like this is also quite good.”
These words let the back of the people in awe, arched his hand and said: “Xu hunter high righteousness!”
“Hey, you’re quite popular, but don’t talk too much, you think this is your home open ah, don’t step on two steps can’t ah.”
Just among the people parallel to him, a man with a face full of cross-flesh, ferocious compared to Wang Qizheng, Wang Hu are no less disdainful smile.
“Thanks for the advice, you have to cheer up too.” That middle-aged man revealed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled broadly.
“Hmph!”
Looking at his appearance, the man with a face full of horizontal meat snorted and no longer bothered to look at him, instead striding up the steps.
His name was Xiahou Zhi, one of the people who fled north, used to specialize in the trail-cutting business, and was still a leader.
That is, a bandit leader.
After going up to the Hundred Shou City, he was thinking of going back to his old business, a gun for you and a sword for me, to make it bigger and stronger, and to create another glory, but the Golden Immortal Sect came fast didn’t give him this opportunity, and then recruited disciples.
He also wanted to come to try, what if?
In case of being a god immortal, then is not to do whatever you want!
Being an Immortal, that would be much more promising than being a bandit!
“That’s Xu Chengzhu, right?”
On the mountain gate, Zhang Feixuan looked at the person dressed as a hunter within the round mirror and said in surprise, “I thought he had been here before, but it turns out this is just now.”
“Oh this person is not bad.” Song Yin nodded, “One can look forward to some.”
Xu Chengzhu, a hunter, now thirty-one years old, was very famous in this Hundred Shou City.
During the Pudong period, he was a man who hunted for no reward, but not the kind that needed to be blessed, he was the kind that would see those in difficulty, preferring to starve himself, he would gift the prey he had called in to those in difficulty.
Later, Pudu died, he is still the same, that time is the most chaotic time, many people have no food to eat, it is he led the people outside to hunt for survival, to help the weak.
He was also a good-hearted person in his daily life, and he would help if he was asked, and even if he wasn’t asked, he would do his best to help when he saw a difficult situation.
No mortal who knows him does not respect him.
Previously, when the governor’s office recruited soldiers, Su Yougen also wanted to hire him as a leader, but he refused.
This person’s heart is well-tested.
