"Inside this wormhole is the Nine Heavens Road that you will be taking. Go in," Ling Yu said.
Without hesitation, the 20 disciples stepped into the wormhole one by one.
Jian Wushuang also stepped into the wormhole. After stepping in, Jian Wushuang found a towering mountain in front of him.
The mountain towered into the clouds with no end in sight. At the same time, a long and towering road appeared under Jian Wushuang's feet.
The road was endless and went straight to the Ninth Heaven. He was now standing at the beginning of the long road, at the foot of the mountain. At the same time, there were cold figures standing in front of him. These cold figures had no aura of life and were obviously Puppet Fighters.
There were a total of 10 Puppet Fighters.
These 10 Puppet Fighters were all wearing black armor and holding black spears, as if they were guarding the Ninth Heaven Road.
Jian Wushuang glanced at the 10 Puppet Fighters and then slowly walked up the steps of the road. The moment he stepped on the steps, the 10 Puppet Fighters opened their eyes at the same time and fixed their emotionless eyes on Jian Wushuang. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! …
The 10 Puppet Fighters directly rushed toward Jian Wushuang. When they appeared beside Jian Wushuang, they all thrust their spears at the same time.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The tip of the spear was cold as if it could pierce through everything.
Jian Wushuang looked at all this calmly. When he saw his Master's spear appear in front of him, his pupils suddenly shrank.
The Heart-killing Sword suddenly appeared in his hand. Then, a beautiful sword light flashed. The speed of the sword light was much faster than the spears of the Puppet Fighters. The sword shadow was ethereal and easily swept through the throats of the Puppet Fighters.
In just one confrontation, the 10 Puppet Fighters were all defeated.
After being defeated, the ten Puppet Fighters immediately retreated to the edge of the battlefield and made way for the two of them.
"The Nine Heavens Road has a thousand steps as one level. There are a total of thirty-one levels, and each level is more difficult than the last. This is only the first level, so it's quite simple." Jian Wushuang smiled faintly when he saw the detour in front of him. Then, he continued to climb up the stairs.
On the Nine Heavens Road, the strength of these guards was determined by the realm of the challenger.
Jian Wushuang was only in the Skyscraping Realm, so the guards were also in the Skyscraping Realm.
Among the geniuses who were also attempting the Nine Heavens Road, many of them had already broken through to the Divine Realm. Therefore, the War Puppet Guards they encountered in the Nine Heavens Road were all at the Divine Realm.
It was very fair and had nothing to do with one's cultivation level.
Most of the tests tested one's comprehension of the Dao, as well as secret techniques, combat ability, and many other methods.
After a while, Jian Wushuang arrived at the second level of the Nine Heavens Road. He encountered 10 Puppet Fighters at the same time. In terms of strength, the 10 Puppet Fighters on the second level were obviously much stronger than those on the first level. However, in the hands of Jian Wushuang, they still had no room to struggle and were easily defeated.
Jian Wushuang moved forward and easily passed through the third, fourth, and fifth levels. When he reached the sixth level, Jian Wushuang found that the 10 Puppet Fighters guarding the sixth level had a qualitative change in strength compared to the ones on the fifth level.
However, even though their strength had increased, it was not difficult for Jian Wushuang. Jian Wushuang continued to move forward.
The sixth level, the seventh level, the eighth level … He passed through them one by one.
In a towering hall in Gumen Gumen, many Palace Masters and Vice Palace Masters of the Doctrine Palace were gathered together.
Even Palace Master Xuan Yi was in the hall. In front of them were twenty images.
These twenty images were of the twenty disciples participating in the Grand Competition making their way through the Nine Heavens Road.
"All of them are quite fast."
"Humph, this is just the beginning. Of course they are fast. After a while, the strength of the Puppet Fighters will increase and their speed will naturally slow down. When they reach the sixteenth level, they will be even busier."
"The Nine Heavens Road has 31 levels. The fifth level is a threshold. After every five levels, the strength of the Puppet Fighters will undergo a qualitative change. The sixteenth level happens to be the center of the Nine Heavens Road. It will be a big threshold. When they reach there, their speed will not be that fast."
The Palace Masters and Vice Palace Masters were chatting casually.
Just as the Palace Masters and Vice Palace Masters had expected, the twenty disciples in the images were indeed very fast at the beginning. They almost easily defeated the 10 Puppet Fighters guarding the level. However, as they passed through higher levels, the strength of the Puppet Fighters continued to increase and their speed gradually slowed down.
When they reached the fifteenth level, their speed had already slowed down. And when they reached the sixteenth level …
The sixteenth level was a huge threshold. Out of the twenty disciples, nineteen of them managed to pass this level. However, one of them was defeated by the ten Puppet Fighters and was completely stopped at this level.
This person was Huo Ying.
"This Huo Ying has already tried his best. Under normal circumstances, only those who have comprehended the third level can pass the 16th level of the Nine Heavens Road. He has only comprehended the second level not too long ago. Being able to pass that level is already a stroke of luck," praised a Vice Palace Master.
"Among the six geniuses that Palace Master Xuan Yi brought back from the Firmament Territory Feast, Huo Ying's talent is at the bottom. However, his temperament is not bad. He will have a chance to become a superior Divine Realm expert."
On the Martial Arts Practice Field, Huo Ying was the first to be sent out of the wormhole. When he came out, he saw the strange looks of the surrounding disciples and smiled bitterly.
Although he had guessed that this would be the result, when he was sent out first, he still felt extremely embarrassed and bitter.
In terms of strength, he was indeed the weakest among the twenty geniuses who had entered the Nine Heavens Road.
In the Nine Heavens Road, the remaining nineteen geniuses continued to move forward.
When they passed the sixteenth level, most of their speed slowed down. Of course, there were two exceptions. These two were Luo Yong and Dong 'er.
Both of them had comprehended the Fourth Occult. In terms of strength, they were far stronger than the other disciples. Naturally, their speed was extremely fast.
"Look, Luo Yong has already passed the twentieth level and his speed is still very fast."
"The twentieth level is not his limit. Although the twenty-first level will be much more difficult, he can still pass it. I think his final result will be above the twenty-fourth level."
"Well, he has passed the twenty-fourth level. The probability of passing the twenty-fifth level is not high."
