Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

The selection of the ladder is divided into three sections.

When you first climb the ladder, you are selected based on the purity of your spiritual roots. Those who do not meet the standard are all swept down by the golden light without exception.

At the same time, there is an invisible pressure on the ladder.

This pressure is very targeted. People with good cultivation talents do not feel too strong a sense of oppression and can walk normally on the ladder.

But people with poor talents will feel an amazing sense of oppression, so that the speed of climbing the ladder is getting slower and slower.

Even those who do not meet the talent standards will gradually become unable to move a step under pressure, and finally be swept away by the golden light and lose the qualification to climb to the top.

The selection in the middle section of the ladder is the degree of fit between the physical body and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The purity of the spiritual roots determines whether you can attract more spiritual energy into your body.

And the degree of fit between the physical body and the spiritual energy determines how much of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth you can integrate and absorb.

If the fusion ratio is not high, what is the use of attracting more spiritual energy? In the end, it will just circulate in the body and dissipate again.

Among the thousands of young people with spiritual roots, less than half can climb to the middle of the ladder, and the others are sent back to the ground.

As for the upper part of the ladder, the selection is based on the state of mind and understanding.

There are only a few hundred people who can reach here, but as they continue to climb the ladder, there are still people who are constantly rolled up by the golden light and sent down the ladder.

Only those with a strong enough state of mind and high enough understanding can pass this final selection.

At the same time, the invisible pressure permeating the ladder is still constantly oppressing everyone, so that the speed of climbing the ladder is getting bigger and bigger.

Zhou Yu Niang took the lead and walked in front of everyone.

Obviously, she, who has the destiny of a dynasty, is considered by the ladder to have a talent for cultivation that is far superior to others.

After Zhou Yu Niang, there are Sun Miao Niang, Chi Huo and several other young people.

And Zhao Mu is walking in a group of people further behind.

It seems that although he relied on "The Six Paths of Heavenly Gate" to condense the acquired spiritual roots, his talent can only be considered above average, far from the top.

However, compared with those around him, Zhao Mu walked the most steadily at the top of this ladder.

This top section tests the state of mind and understanding, so there are all kinds of illusions confusing the heart at all times.

Others, confused by the illusions, sometimes look confused, sometimes greedy, sometimes stupid, and sometimes climb the ladder fast and slow. Once they stop, they will be swept away by the golden light.

Obviously, each of them is not in a stable state of mind.

But Zhao Mu's speed of climbing the ladder has always been stable, and even the expression on his face has always been calm.

It's as if the various illusions produced by the ladder have no effect on him at all.

At this time, Zhou Yu Niang has already walked up to the big fish at the top of the ladder.

"Meet the Taoist priest."

Zhou Yu Niang respectfully saluted Changkong Zhenren.

"Haha, congratulations to the young lady for being the first to pass the selection and become a disciple of my Ziwei Dao Sect."

Changkong Zhenren smiled and said, "The young lady is full of national luck, it seems that she is the empress of the Great Jin Dynasty. I see that the true energy in your body has turned into magic power, but what immortal skills have you practiced?"

"I dare not deceive you, Taoist priest, I have indeed practiced a copy of the "Purple Extreme Heart Sutra"."

Zhou Yu Niang did not hide anything and simply told the story of the black dragon turning into a dragon and the turtle spirit many years ago.

"How brave, he dared to take a risk in the mortal world. It's a pity that I didn't get back at that time, otherwise I would have cut off his dog head."

Changkong Zhenren snorted coldly.

"Thank you, Taoist priest, for your consideration for mortals like us."

"It's nothing to be considerate of. I am also a mortal who has achieved success through cultivation. If I can't protect my people, what's the point of practicing Taoism?"

Changkong Zhenren said as a matter of course: "By the way, don't practice the "Purple Extreme Heart Sutra" in the future. The power condensed by that technique is too complicated and not conducive to your future achievements. When you return to Ziwei Daomen, there will naturally be better techniques for you."

"Yes, Taoist priest, I obey your command."

Zhou Yu Niang agreed in a serious tone.

At this time, Sun Miao Niang, Chi Huo and several other young people also came up.

They came up one by one and saluted Changkong Zhenren.

Changkong Zhenren laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, everyone. I have always taken a fancy to the younger generation of our human race. Just be casual."

"What's your name, little brother?" He walked up to the sturdy Chi Huo and asked.

Chi Huo touched his head and said with a silly smile, "Taoist priest, my name is Chi Huo."

Foodie?

Changkong Zhenren was stunned. This name is good. It makes me hungry.

He didn't make fun of him, but patted Chihuo on the shoulder: "You are born with a pure heart. Yes, your stability should be ranked third among all people."

"Thank you for the compliment, Taoist priest. Hehe, they always say I'm stupid." Chihuo smiled.

"You are not stupid, but very smart. You just don't like to use your mind on some meaningless things. The so-called great wisdom is just like stupidity."

"Taoist priest, you said that Chihuo's stability of mind can be ranked third, then who are the first and second?"

Sun Miaoniang suddenly asked, and the others looked over curiously.

"The second one is naturally your female emperor."

Changkong Zhenren pointed at Zhou Yu Niang: "The Jin Dynasty respected men, but she was able to ascend to the throne as a woman. If she didn't have a firm and stable mind, how could she do such a thing? As for the first one..."

His eyes looked at Zhao Mu, who was still on the ladder, walking step by step: "Who is that?"

"Taoist Master, that is my junior brother, Chu Ying."

Zhou Yuniang introduced: "In terms of cultivation and strength, he should be considered the strongest person in our Jin Dynasty."

"Cultivation strength is not important. In this mortal country, no matter how strong your cultivation is, how strong can it be? Poor Taoists pay more attention to character."

Master Changkong shook his head and said: "This illusion in the upper section of the ladder cannot be resisted by those with strong cultivation. When all of you come up, your mood will fluctuate more or less, but from the face of this Chu Ying, you can see Has your expression changed at all?”

Everyone looked closely and found that the expression on Zhao Mu's face was always calm.

"There are only a handful of mortals who can resist this illusion of a ladder to heaven. I didn't expect that I would encounter one today."

"In the cultivation of immortality, talent, opportunity and character are all indispensable. Although this person's talent in cultivation is not as good as yours, but with his character, his future achievements may not be lower than yours."

"It's just that the poor Taoist is very strange. A mortal's life spans for hundreds of years, and his knowledge and experience are ultimately limited. How did he develop such a character?"

Master Changkong said doubtfully.

Two hours later, most of the remaining people on the ladder were swept down by the golden light.

In the end, among the thousands of people with spiritual roots, only about thirty can actually board the big fish.

These people are the top talents of the Jin Dynasty today.

Master Changkong waved his hand and put away the ladder: "Okay, everyone, stand firm. Next, we should go to Ziwei Dao Gate."

The big fish's huge tail swung, and its body quickly moved away from the capital, flying all the way to the west.

Everyone stood on the back of the big fish and couldn't help but stare at their homeland.

They know that if they leave today, they may not be able to come back for dozens, hundreds, even thousands of years.

Therefore, the feeling of reluctance arises spontaneously in my heart.

"Junior brother, do you think we can come back?" Zhou Yuniang asked quietly.

"We will come back. Just wait until we come back. I'm afraid this place has changed. It's even possible that the Jin Dynasty will no longer exist."

Zhao Mu's tone was calm.

He has long been accustomed to the changes in the world, so the reluctance in his heart is not as strong as others.

Rather than being nostalgic for his homeland, he was more concerned about the unknown things that the black dragon and the turtle spirit were talking about.

Could it be that someone would intercept and kill him along the way to Ziwei Daomen?

Or will we encounter some powerful monster?

"Hey, the unknown is always unpleasant!"

Zhao Mu murmured to himself.
