There were not many Xuan Immortals who participated in the trial this time. Among the more than 100,000 people, there were less than 2,000 Xuan Immortals. Except for Ji Sijun who deliberately walked behind Ning Qi, many Xuan Immortals could not wait to walk up the Nine Steps to Heaven to verify their qualifications and strength!
Wen Xin Monk's gaze landed on Ning Qi. He took a step forward and said respectfully to Jiang Haitao, "Senior Jiang, may I ask if the Nine Steps to Heaven is a test of one's potential?"
Jiang Haitao glanced at Wen Xin Monk, knowing that he was on good terms with Ning Qi, he snorted and ignored him.
At this moment, Lv Yuan's ears twitched, he looked towards Wen Xin Monk and smiled, "Many of you do not know what the Nine Steps to Heaven is about?"
Jiang Haitao's expression changed, he ignored Wen Xin Monk, but Lv Yuan's words were like a slap to his face.
Everyone looked at Lv Yuan curiously.
Lv Yuan smiled and glanced at Jiang Haitao and the other Immortal Monarchs. "I asked you guys to be the guides, but you guys didn't even tell them what the Nine Stairways to Heaven was. The rewards this time will be halved."
The Immortal Monarchs were shocked, their faces filled with disbelief. Halve the rewards? Just because of this?
"Does anyone have any objections?"
Lv Yuan looked at the other Immortal Monarchs.
"If it's halved, so be it."
Jiang You said.
"No objections."
The other Immortal Monarchs nodded in agreement, no one would choose to offend Lv Yuan. Jiang Haitao and the other Immortal Monarchs could only seethe in their hearts, not daring to show it.
"The Nine Steps to Heaven does not test one's potential or cultivation, but lifespan."
Lv Yuan smiled, his voice resounding across the crowd, including the Xuan Immortals who were ascending the Nine Steps to Heaven.
Lifespan?
The crowd was surprised, they did not expect the Nine Steps to Heaven to test one's lifespan. But, lifespan was something that should not be concerned with as long as one's potential was better and cultivation progressed faster?
"You all know that Heavenly Immortals can live for an eternity, right?"
Lv Yuan smiled.
Everyone nodded subconsciously. "However, not all Celestial Immortals can live for an eternity. Some Celestial Immortals might die a few years after advancing to the Celestial Realm due to fighting with others. Even though we Celestial Emperors are known to be immortal, there is only one Celestial Emperor who has lived for an eternity in the Immortal World. He is not in our Jiang Family.
”
Lv Yuan smiled.
A trace of doubt flashed in everyone's eyes. Only a few people looked at Lv Yuan in shock. They seemed to have guessed the true function of the Nine Steps to Heaven.
Ning Qi, who was slowly walking up, also paused. He knew that the person Lv Yuan was referring to was likely the green-robed elder on the Ancestral Star, his daughter's Master. "Therefore, rather than saying that the Nine Steps to Heaven is an appraisal of your lifespan, it's more accurate to say that it's an appraisal of your luck. Those with weak luck will easily encounter all kinds of dangers and die, and then they will not be able to ascend to a higher step. Those with strong luck will be able to ascend to the ninth step! Of course, there were no absolutes in this world, but the Nine Steps to Heaven existed.
It has existed in our Tiandao Clan for many years and is a connate spirit treasure left behind by a powerful senior. Therefore, the appraisal result is eighty percent accurate. "
Lv Yuan smiled.
"What? Appraising luck? "
"Could it be that the Nine Steps to Heaven can tell when we will encounter danger and die? Die from a calamity? "
"That's terrifying …"
"A connate spirit treasure? Could the legend be true? Is there a treasure more powerful than a supreme-grade Dao item in this world? "
Everyone looked at Lv Yuan in shock.
The Primordial Immortal who did not even make it to the first step paled and looked at Ji Xuanling with a long face.
"Staying in the Tiandao Clan, even if your luck isn't good, it will be very difficult for you to die."
Ji Xuanling calmly glanced at the Primordial Immortal and comforted him.
The Primordial Immortal felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. Ji Xuanling was implying that if he went to the outside world, he would very likely die because of bad luck?
"I see …"
A hint of realization flashed across Wen Xin Hermit's eyes.
At this time, many Mystic Immortals had already finished the first step and were walking towards the second step. Ning Qi's speed was neither fast nor slow. He was not at the front, but he was not at the back either. Ji Sijun still maintained a distance of over ten feet from Ning Qi. After ten minutes, more and more Mystic Immortals' footsteps turned from light and brisk at the beginning to slow down. In the end, they were eliminated from the second step and could only become outer sect disciples. The Mystic Immortals who could make it to the second step were both relieved and anxious. Their goal was the fourth step.
Only by reaching the fourth step and becoming an inner sect disciple of the Tiandao Clan could one be considered to have truly obtained the opportunity. On the third step, a group of Mystic Immortals were also eliminated. Originally, there were two thousand Mystic Immortals who made it to the Nine Steps to Heaven. Now, only a hundred or so people were still continuing. Their speed was getting slower and gradually, Ning Qi had already made it to the first step. Ji Sijun followed closely behind.
Xuan Immortals, however, had pulled a long distance away from the two!
Finally, when both Ning Qi and Ji Sijun reached the fifth step, a Mystic Immortal had just completed the fourth step. He was excited and wanted to continue on to the fifth step. But before he could even make it a tenth, he fell back to the fourth step with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"How could this be? Why is the luck of this batch of Mystic Immortals so bad? "
The Immortal Emperor from the Qian Clan could not help but frown. His name was Qian Shan and his cultivation was similar to Jiang You's. Seeing that only Ning Qi and Ji Sijun were left on the Nine Steps to Heaven, the rest were stuck on the fourth step, he could not help but reveal a strange expression.
"Perhaps it's related to the two existences that escaped the suppression and affected the luck of our Tiandao Clan."
Lv Yuan said with a solemn expression.
Previously, two ancient immortals escaped. This meant that the disciples of the Tiandao Clan would most likely meet them in the Immortal World in the future. At that time, they would definitely die. This indirectly weakened the luck of the disciples of the Tiandao Clan.
The other Immortal Emperors nodded slightly, feeling that Lv Yuan's words made sense.
Cold sweat gradually appeared on Ji Sijun's forehead. She felt as if her feet were being pressed down by a ten thousand kilogram boulder. It was very difficult for her to lift them.
And she had not even reached the seventh step!
"Hmm?"
Ji Xuanling exclaimed softly. In her opinion, Ji Sijun should have no problem reaching the seventh step. She even had a chance to make it to the eighth step. After all, existences that entered the Heavenly Dao Ranking would not have weak luck. But now, it seemed that Ji Sijun could not even reach the seventh step?
