Lin Tian looked at the immortal mountains in front of him. Each immortal mountain was very tall and was surrounded by white clouds. It was very extraordinary. As for the Purple Merciless Treasure Sect, which was located in the middle of the Celestial Mountains, its palaces and floating islands were even more impressive. Compared to it, some of the top forces on the Ancient Tong Heng Star were like dust.
"As expected of a sect in the Immortal Domain."
Lin Tian's eyes flickered.
This Violet Carefree Treasure Sect was merely a major force in the most remote Peaceful Province of the Immortal Realm. It couldn't be compared to the sects in some of the more powerful provinces, but it was actually so extraordinary. It really made it difficult for him not to be surprised.
"Yes, the scale is very grand."
Wuxing Crocodile said.
Little Taichu blinked and nodded his little head, showing a look of agreement.
"Let's go in."
An Shuishui said.
Lin Tian nodded and walked into the immortal mountains with An Shuishui, Wuxing Crocodile, and Little Taichu. Soon, they arrived in front of the main gate of the Purple Ease Treasure Sect.
There was a vast and flat area in front of the main gate of this branch. There were many immortal herbs and exotic flowers growing here. At this time, there were many cultivators gathered here. Each of them had extremely strong blood qi, and the weakest among them was at the Eternal Realm.
"Are these people all here to join the Purple Ease Treasure Sect?"
He asked An Shuishui.
"That should be the case. After all, these few days just so happen to be the day that Purple Xiao Treasure Sect is recruiting disciples. At this time, these people have gathered here in such a orderly manner. Clearly, they are here to join Purple Xiao Treasure Sect."
An Shuishui said.
At this time, dozens of old men flew out of the Purple Ease Treasure Sect with a swishing sound. Each of them had a strong blood qi.
One of them glanced at the cultivators in the area. With a wave of his hand, light flashed and dozens of stone stairs appeared. Each of them had a total of 99 stairs, and they were covered with black and white array runes and dao runes.
"What is this?"
Lin Tian asked An Shuishui.
An Shuishui stared at him. "You don't even know about this?"
"I don't know."
Lin Tian was telling the truth.
An Shuishui rolled his eyes and explained, "This thing is called the Immortal Ascension Ladder. It is forged from a special kind of strange stone. Together with strange array patterns and dao patterns, it is used to sense the strength of a cultivator's source of potential. Only those who are above the Eternal Realm can climb up the ladder. The more runes one has on the ladder, the stronger the source of potential of the cultivator. Since ancient times, whether it is the big sects or small forces in the Immortal Domain, they have all used the Immortal Ascension Ladder to select their disciples."
She continued, "To be more specific, those above the Eternal Realm who climb the Immortal Ascension Stairs will be able to reach the True Immortal Realm in the future. Those above the thirtieth step will be able to reach the Golden Immortal Realm in the future. Those above the fiftieth step will be able to reach the Mystic Immortal Realm in the future. Those above the seventy step will be able to reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm in the future. Those above the ninetieth step will be able to reach the Immortal King Realm in the future. Those above the ninety-ninth step will be able to reach the Divine Realm and above."
Lin Tian nodded and said, "Oh, I understand."
"You rascal, why are you always hiding in the mountains to cultivate? You don't even know such basic things."
An Shuishui rolled his eyes again.
Lin Tian smiled and didn't say anything.
At this time, the old man who had raised the Immortal Ascension Stairs spoke again. He glanced at the crowd of cultivators and said, "To join my sect, you must first go through a test. As for the rules, I'm sure all of you already knew about them before you came. That is, those who climb the Immortal Ascension Stairs over the thirtieth step will be able to join the Purple Harmony Treasure Sect to cultivate."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd of cultivators became very calm. Obviously, it was as the expert from the Purple Xiao Treasure Sect had said. Before these cultivators came here, they already knew the rules of the Purple Xiao Treasure Sect's assessment. After all, this was not the first time the Purple Xiao Treasure Sect was recruiting disciples. Moreover, the requirements for recruiting disciples were the same for the past generations. Only those who were able to climb more than 30 steps above the Immortal Ascension Stage would be able to become a disciple of the Purple Xiao Treasure Sect and enter to cultivate.
At this time, these people stared at the Immortal Ascension Stairs. Most of them slightly clenched their fists, waiting to ascend.
"Okay, let the test begin!"
The old man from the Purple Harmony Treasure Sect announced.
At that moment, all the cultivators in the area rushed towards the Immortal Ascension Stairs.
Lin Tian, An Shuishui, Wuxing Crocodile, and Little Taichu had arrived a little later and were at the back of the queue. At this time, they saw hundreds of thousands of people taking the test. However, in the end, among these hundreds of thousands of people, only a little more than a thousand managed to climb the thirtieth step. Moreover, they only barely managed to climb the thirtieth step.
"Over there … Someone has climbed the fiftieth step!"
"This … This is true!"
"Climbing the fiftieth step of the Immortal Ascension Stairs … That means that he will become a Xuan Immortal in the future!"
Exclamations of shock could be heard all around. The crowd of cultivators was shocked as they looked at one of the Immortal Ascension Stairs. At the top of the stairs, there was a young man in yellow robes. At this time, he had reached the fifty-first step.
Even the dozens of old men from the Purple Harmony Treasure Sect couldn't help but be shocked. Climbing the fiftieth step of the Immortal Ascension Stairs would allow one to reach the Xuan Immortal Realm. However, in the Purple Harmony Treasure Sect, the strongest person was only at the early stage of the Xuan Immortal Realm.
On the Immortal Ascension Stairs, the young man in yellow robes reached the fifty-first step. His forehead was covered in sweat as he continued climbing with difficulty. Finally, when he reached the fifty-third step, he couldn't take it anymore and retreated.
"He reached the fifty-third step of the Immortal Ascension Stairs. This is … a future Xuan Immortal!"
"So strong!"
"If I can climb the fiftieth step of the Immortal Ascension Stairs, that would be great. In the future, I can also become a Xuan Immortal."
Many people stared straight at the young man in yellow robes.
Hearing this, the young man in yellow robes revealed a proud expression as he walked towards a designated area.
That area was tens of thousands of square meters. It was the area where the Purple Harmony Treasure Sect's cultivators who had passed the test would stand. At this moment, there were about a thousand cultivators standing there. They were the group of cultivators who had reached the thirtieth step of the Immortal Ascension Stairs.
"Brother, you're really amazing!"
"Yeah! You actually reached the fifty-third step! "
"You can become a Xuan Immortal in the future. Congratulations!"
Seeing the young man in yellow robes walk over, many people in the area greeted him warmly.
The young man in yellow robes walked into the area with an arrogant expression on his face. He glanced at the thousand cultivators in the area and then walked to a spot far away from them. He crossed his arms and ignored everyone.
This caused the expressions of the thousand over cultivators to stiffen, especially those who had spoken to the yellow-robed young man warmly. Their expressions turned ugly, while many others revealed looks of displeasure. From this scene, they could tell that the yellow-robed young man did not care to speak to them, nor did he care to stand with them. This was because they had only barely crossed the 30th step of the Immortal Ascension Stairs, while the yellow-robed young man had crossed the 50th step of the Immortal Ascension Stairs.
"He's really arrogant."
Wuxing Crocodile clicked his tongue.
Lin Tian glanced at the area and smiled faintly. He didn't say anything.
An Shuishui glanced at the young man in yellow robes and curled his lips. "You're narrow-minded and self-righteous. You're just a Xuan Immortal. What's the big deal? It's just that Tai Ning Prefecture is small and remote, and there aren't many outstanding people. Many people think that becoming a Xuan Immortal is already invincible, but in reality, it's nothing. Xuan Immortals can be found everywhere outside of Tai Ning Prefecture. Moreover, this is only the test of Origin Potential. Although he can become a Xuan Immortal in the future, how long will that be? What if it's tens of millions of years later? It's not something to be proud of. "
"Next batch, come forward and take the test!"
A shout sounded.
Batch after batch of cultivators came forward. Soon, it was Lin Tian, An Shuishui, Wuxing Crocodile, and Little Taichu's turn.
Two people and two beasts stepped forward and stepped onto the same Immortal Ascension Stairs.
Lin Tian, Wuxing Crocodile, and Little Taichu stepped onto the 35th step. They looked at each other and stepped back at the same time.
At this height, they didn't feel any pressure at all. They could continue climbing, but they were too lazy to do so. After all, stepping onto the 30th step was considered to have passed the test. There was no need to continue climbing.
They walked to the area designated by the Purple Xiao Treasure Sect for those who had passed the test and looked at the Immortal Ascension Stairs. An Shuishui was still climbing. When he reached the 49th step, he stopped and began to step back.
"This lass isn't simple at all. She didn't even use the slightest bit of effort when she reached the 49th step. After that, it's obvious that she's like us, she intentionally didn't continue climbing. If she had continued, not to mention the 50th step, even the 70th step, or even the 90th step, wouldn't have been difficult for her."
Wuxing Crocodile narrowed its eyes and said in a voice that only Lin Tian, Little Taichu, and Lin Tian could hear.
Lin Tian nodded silently. Naturally, he also saw this.
In this area, many of the other cultivators also saw the scene of "An Shuishui stepped onto the 49th step and then stepped back." Many of them couldn't help but shake their heads.
"What a pity. She was only one step away from reaching the 50th step. She's only one step away from becoming a Xuan Immortal."
Someone sighed.
An Shuishui stepped down from the Immortal Ascension Stairs and went straight to Lin Tian, Wuxing Crocodile, and Little Taichu. "I passed."
"Congratulations, congratulations."
Lin Tian said with a smile.
"Congratulations to all of you too. However, from the beginning, I believed that all of you would pass the test. Of course, I also believed that I would pass. "
An Shuishui said with a smile.
At this time, they were standing in the special area designated by the Purple Xiao Treasure Sect for those who had passed the test. They stood together with the other thousands of people who had passed the test, chatting and laughing.
"It's only the 30th and 40th steps, and you're already so happy. How short-sighted."
A discordant voice came from afar.
