Open up and break into another world

Xu Ming arrived relatively late.

By the time he arrived, there was only an incense stick's worth of time left before the Mountain Gate Trial began. The other geniuses had already arrived and were prepared.

"Throughout the entire Desolate Sect region, over eighty percent of the talented youths must already be here!"

Looking at the thousands of geniuses in the field, each one eager and facing the Mountain Gate Trial as if facing a formidable enemy, Xu Ming muttered to himself, "It's just a Mountain Gate Trial, does everyone need to be so nervous?"

It's just a Mountain Gate Trial?

Xu Ming was completely speaking from a position of privilege.

He was young, had a high cultivation level, and also had a cheat; for him, passing the Mountain Gate Trial was basically no different from taking a stroll. Of course, he didn't need to be nervous!

But what about others?

Xu Ming's gaze turned to the ten thousand stone steps that led directly from the foot of the mountain to the summit. These stone steps were the "Mountain Gate Trial"!

Normally, the stone steps were just ordinary stone steps.

During foreign invasions, the stone steps would become part of the sect's protective formation.

When the Mountain Gate Trial was activated, the stone steps became the place for assessment.

Completing the ten thousand stone steps and reaching the summit of Desolate Mountain would allow one to become an inner sect disciple!

Completing three thousand stone steps and reaching the mountainside would allow one to become an outer sect disciple!

If you couldn't even complete three thousand steps... then you were only welcome to come again next year.

At this time, the geniuses in the field had automatically divided themselves into two areas.

One area, close to the foot of the stone steps, had only sixty or seventy people. However, these sixty or seventy people were all at the Xiantian level; barring any accidents, they should all be able to become inner sect disciples.

The other area had over a thousand people, all at the Inner Training Completion or Half-Xiantian level. Among these people, it would be good if ten or so could become inner sect disciples.

Xu Ming hesitated, "Which area should I go to?"

In terms of strength, Xu Ming was undoubtedly the number one among all the geniuses!

However, Xu Ming's cultivation technique was special, and he didn't have the aura of a Xiantian; if he stood with the Xiantian geniuses, it would inevitably be a bit too high-profile, like a crane among chickens.

After thinking about it, he decided, "It's better to hang out in the area with more people! Anyway, the Mountain Gate Trial isn't about who runs the fastest, it's just about who climbs the highest."

However, just as Xu Ming plunged into the crowded area, he heard someone call his name.

"Huh? Isn't that Xu Ming?"

Damn! Why is someone else calling me? Do I have so many acquaintances here?

Xu Ming looked in the direction of the voice and saw three unfamiliar faces approaching him.

"You are?" Xu Ming asked.

"It's normal for Brother Xu Ming not to have an impression of us, but we have a very deep impression of Brother Xu Ming!" The refined-looking young man in the middle cupped his fist and said, "Brother Xu Ming's performance at the Longevity Celebration Battle is still vivid in my mind!"

Longevity Celebration Battle?

Xu Ming tried hard to recall, "You are from the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion?"

"Haha! Great! It seems Brother Xu Ming still has a slight impression of us!" The refined young man joked, "Let me introduce myself: Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, Yu Xuan!"

The other man and woman also said:

"Ji Chunrui."

"Sun Haoran."

Xu Ming smiled awkwardly, "I've heard of your names, but I've never had the chance to meet you."

Xu Ming and the three Yu Xuan met at the foot of this Desolate Mountain, which could be considered encountering fellow villagers in a foreign land, and naturally felt close. In addition, these three people didn't have any arrogance, so after a few words, Xu Ming also chatted happily with them.

"Brother Xu Ming, where are the people from your Desolate Martial Mansion? How come I've only seen you here?" Sun Haoran asked curiously.

"Yue Jian and the others aren't coming!" Xu Ming said.

After listening to Gu Hanmo's words, Yue Jian and the other geniuses felt that it was better to roam the world and seek opportunities than to become an outer sect disciple in the Desolate Sect! Therefore, they unanimously decided not to come.

In the entire Flying Cloud Country's Desolate Martial Mansion, only Xu Ming came.

And Xu Ming was clearly here to crush the inner sect geniuses of the Desolate Sect.

"By the way, Xu Ming, why are you standing in our area?" Ji Chunrui said, "You should go to the front area, that way you can be the first to reach the top of the ten thousand stone steps!"

"Is there a reward for being the first to reach the top?" Xu Ming asked.

"Reward? Probably not... but if you become the first to reach the top among all the geniuses in the entire Desolate Sect region, how prestigious would that be!"

"Prestige?" Xu Ming shook his head with a smile, "Forget it, I'm not interested."

Xu Ming's conversation attracted the disdain of other geniuses around him.

"Oh? With his cultivation level that hasn't even reached the Xiantian stage, he still wants to be the first to reach the top?"

"Which small country are you from? Haven't you been out much? You're just talented in your own small country, and then you think you're invincible?"

"Haha! You guys are really funny, you're killing me!"

Ji Chunrui didn't show any weakness and stepped forward, proudly saying, "Flying Cloud Country! Heard of it?"

Flying Cloud Country...

To be honest, it was just a small country.

Those powerful countries usually have experts in the Condensing Dan realm guarding them!

Not only did Flying Cloud Country not have Condensing Dan experts, but its territory was also not large, so it was naturally a well-deserved small country.

However, the geniuses present today, upon hearing the three words "Flying Cloud Country," no longer dared to ridicule them, but asked in surprise, "You... are you from Flying Cloud Country? Then this... is Xu Ming?"

"Exactly!" Yu Xuan and the other two shouted in unison, looking extremely proud.

"It really is Xu Ming!"

Many geniuses couldn't help but gasp, and at the same time, they cast respectful gazes towards Xu Ming.

The fame of "Slap God" Xu Ming was not limited to the Flying Cloud Country!

Even these top geniuses from other countries had heard of the legend of Xu Ming wildly slapping the inner sect disciples of the Desolate Sect.

Slap God Xu Ming's fame was truly known far and wide!

After learning that the calm and composed young man in front of them was Xu Ming, the geniuses respectfully pushed him forward, towards the area closer to the ten thousand stone steps—this was Slap God Xu Ming, how could he stand in the back area? Of course, he had to go to the front to compete for the first to reach the top of the mountain!

Xu Ming's appearance also attracted the attention of the Xiantian geniuses in the front area.

"Who is this?"

"He hasn't reached the Xiantian stage, how dare he come to our side?"

These Xiantian geniuses were all very aloof. Some of them even looked down on those geniuses in the back who hadn't reached the Xiantian stage.

"That seems to be... Xu Ming!"

"Xu Ming? The Xu Ming who, according to legend, slapped a row of inner sect disciples into silence?"

"Is he Slap God Xu Ming?" Song Jiahuan, from the Martial God Country, looked over with some curiosity.

The Martial God Country was a very powerful country, with several Condensing Dan experts guarding it!

Any state in the Martial God Country was stronger than the entire Flying Cloud Country!

This talented beauty, Song Jiahuan, was the most outstanding genius in the Martial God Country.

"Slap God?" The handsome young man beside Song Jiahuan sneered, "He just slapped a few inner sect disciples? Can't I do that?"

"Luo Feng..." Song Jiahuan looked at him helplessly.

Luo Feng, the number one genius of the Martial God Country! He had extremely high talent, and also a bad habit—he couldn't accept anyone more talented than him.

"Hmph, I'll go meet this Xu Ming!"

"Sure enough!"

Song Jiahuan was speechless. Luo Feng's old habit of competing for strength had struck again.

Moreover, it was already terminally ill and couldn't be stopped.
