Lu Ming already knew that the final test for the Di Tian Divine Guards was divided into several rounds.
The first round was the Thousand Steps Jade Staircase. Only by climbing the Thousand Steps Jade Staircase could one become a reserve Di Tian Divine Guard.
After climbing the Thousand Steps Jade Staircase, there would be another test. Only by passing the next test could one become a true Di Tian Divine Guard.
There was no one around. Lu Ming guessed that this should be the Inscription Formation.
The Thousand Steps Jade Staircase before him was likely formed by the Inscription Formation.
"Let's see what's so special about this Thousand Steps Jade Staircase."
Lu Ming smiled faintly and stepped up.
"Buzz!"
As soon as Lu Ming stepped on it, there was a huge force between heaven and earth that pressed down on him.
"Hmm?"
Lu Ming's body shook slightly and he managed to offset the force.
"This force not only acts on the physical body but also on the True Qi in the body. Even the mind is under pressure."
Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he was secretly amazed.
However, although this force was strong, to Lu Ming, it was like a spring breeze. He did not feel much.
"Stomp! Stomp! "
Lu Ming stepped up step by step. His body was straight, and he was as immovable as a mountain.
Soon, he stepped on the Hundred Steps Jade Staircase.
He realized that the further up he went, the greater the pressure he felt.
However, this kind of pressure was nothing to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming walked faster and faster. One by one, he stepped on the Jade Staircase.
In just a few minutes, Lu Ming climbed up the Thousand Steps Jade Staircase.
At the top of the Thousand Steps Jade Staircase was a platform. In front of the platform was a stone door. The stone door was open, and there was a flickering light. The scene behind the stone door could not be seen clearly.
Behind the stone door was the second round of the test. After passing this round of the test, one would become a true Di Tian Divine Guard.
On the left side of the platform, there was a whirlpool. This was the teleportation gate.
If he felt that he was not strong enough to pass the second round, he could leave through the vortex and be teleported to the corresponding location.
If one wanted to give it a try, that was also possible. It was said that there wouldn't be any real danger. If one really reached a critical juncture, the great array would teleport one away to the area where the Empyrean Divine Guards were stationed. That would be considered a failure.
.....
At this time, in the Myriad Star City, there was a huge circular building that covered an area of several thousand acres. It could accommodate millions of people at the same time.
This building was like a colosseum (football field), but it was divided into four areas by two intersecting light curtains.
It was like a piece of cake that had been cut into four fan-shaped regions, namely the North, South, East, and West regions. The four regions did not meet each other as their vision was blocked by the light curtain.
The eastern region was divided into five levels according to their distribution.
In the center of the fan was the first level, and there was a battle platform.
The outer ring of the Battle Platform was the second level. There was a stone tablet with the words "Empyrean Divine Guards" written on it.
Further out was the third level, and there was also a stone tablet with the words "Empyrean Divine Guards" written on it.
Further out was the fourth level, and there was nothing written on it.
Further out were rows of seats. This area was also the largest, just like the outermost ring of the cake.
Now, the seats were all filled with people.
It was densely packed, and there was no telling how many people there were.
Among these seats, there was a rather special spot. This spot was occupied by the leading elders of the various regions.
The leading elder of the Cloud Emperor Mountain Range, Lu Xiu, was sitting there.
Beside him were the leading elders of the Thousand River Water Region, Zhao Sui, and the leading elders of the Serene Devil Palace, Han Xun.
Their eyes were fixed on the few levels of empty space below.
Those areas were inscribed with mysterious inscription formations that led to the Dongming ancient battlefield.
As long as someone climbed the Thousand Steps Jade Staircase and chose to walk into the vortex, they would be teleported to the area of the Empyrean Divine Guards.
As for those who chose to continue the challenge but failed, they would also be teleported to the area of the Empyrean Divine Guards. This meant that they could only become a Empyrean Divine Guard.
By the same logic, as long as one became a Empyrean Divine Guard, they would be teleported to the area of the Empyrean Divine Guards.
As for those who did not even become a Empyrean Divine Guard, all those who failed would be teleported to the empty area of the fourth level.
"Hehe, Lu Xiu, you don't have to stare so hard. It's useless even if you stare until your eyes explode. I reckon that everyone in the Cloud Emperor Mountain Range is dead. Not to mention becoming a Empyrean Divine Guard or a Empyrean Divine Guard, I'm afraid that only a few of them can come out alive."
Beside him, the leading elder of the Thousand River Water Region, Zhao Sui, suddenly said coldly.
Lu Xiu's face darkened, and he looked a little ugly. He said, "Zhao Sui, they haven't come out yet, and no one knows what the result will be. Aren't you afraid that you will sprain your tongue by saying this?"
"Sprain my tongue? Haha, what a joke. I'm speaking because I'm confident. Given the group of trash in the Cloud Emperor Mountain Range, unless they find a place to hide as soon as they enter, it's normal that they will all die. "
Zhao Sui laughed coldly.
"You …"
Lu Xiu's face was unusually ugly.
"Zhao Sui, it's too early for you to say that. Every year, there will be geniuses from small regions who will join the Empyrean Divine Guards."
Beside him, the leading elders of the other small regions spoke up for Lu Xiu.
"Hehe, a bunch of trash who only know how to comfort themselves. I think that Brother Zhao is right. It's better for the trash from small regions to die. They still want to compete with us and the other large regions for a spot in the Empyrean Divine Guard. They are really overestimating themselves."
A faint voice sounded. It was the leading elder of the Serene Demon Palace, Han Xun.
These words were a blatant disdain, and it made the leading elders of the other small regions turn ugly.
"Haha, Brother Han is right. Lu Xiu, if you want to watch, then continue watching. I'm afraid that the more you watch, the more despair you will feel."
Zhao Sui revealed a mocking smile.
"Someone is coming out!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
In the empty area of the fourth level, people kept appearing and disappearing.
Those who appeared all showed disappointment and unwillingness on their faces.
Those who appeared in this area were considered to have failed and been completely eliminated.
The leading elders did not show any change in their expressions. In every region, there would be a large number of people who would be eliminated. This was not surprising.
What they were paying attention to was how many people appeared in the reserve Empyrean Divine Guard area and the Empyrean Divine Guard area.
After a while, there was finally a fluctuation in the reserve Empyrean Divine Guard area, and a figure appeared.
"Haha, this is a genius from my region. I knew that this kid would become a reserve Empyrean Divine Guard."
One of the leading elders of the small region laughed excitedly.
Next, people kept appearing in the reserve Empyrean Divine Guard area.
"Jiang Hongwen, Shangguan Yunyan!"
Suddenly, Lu Xiu's eyes lit up.
In the reserve Empyrean Divine Guard area, he saw Jiang Hongwen and Shangguan Yunyan.
Lu Xiu's face was filled with joy.
Jiang Hongwen and Shangguan Yunyan were ranked third and fourth respectively on the Emperor Yun Leaderboard. It was within his expectations that they could become reserve Empyrean Divine Guards. However, there were always exceptions. He was really afraid that the geniuses of the Cloud Emperor Mountain Range had all died in the Dongming Ancient Battlefield.
When he saw the two of them, he was naturally overjoyed.
"Haha, Zhao Sui, it seems that not a single reserve Empyrean Divine Guard has appeared in your Thousand River Domain."
