Ascending the Ladder
"Alright!"
Seeing Luo Xi so confident, Ye Fei was also quite happy. He was the first to jump onto the back of the Spirit Eagle, followed by the Tenth Prince, Shi Feng, Qi Chuchu, and the others.
After all, there was no need for them to waste their Quintessence if they could enter the palace through trickery. Under Luo Xi's control, the huge Spirit Eagle flapped its wings and flew into the sky like a warship. It then charged towards the million soldiers in front.
Kill!
Suddenly seeing such a large vicious bird flying over, the million soldiers didn't feel the slightest bit of fear. They condensed their killing intent, transforming it into an invisible storm that swept towards the spirit eagle. However, the spirit eagle was born from spiritual energy, so it was extremely sensitive to air currents.
Inspired by Zhang Dazhuang, Luo Xi skillfully controlled the Spirit Eagle and miraculously avoided the storm of killing intent and took the lead to charge into the palace.
"Even this works? Is there any justice in this world? "
"Why didn't we think of this? The King only told us to charge into the palace. He didn't say that we can't rely on external forces."
"Which brother wants to come with me? Let's form a team and charge in together."
Even Martial Lord experts feared the murderous aura of a million strong soldiers. The cultivators on scene quickly reacted as well. They discovered that power alone could not hold back the attack of the murderous aura. Very soon, a large number of cultivators started to unite, or form teams, or use powerful treasures, and all of them rushed into the palace through the gaps in the army.
Even so, there were still a large number of Martial Kings and Martial Saints who were unable to withstand the killing intent released by the million soldiers due to their late awakening or their weak wills.
Two hours later:
The first round of the Earth Ranking examination had ended. There were more than a hundred thousand cultivators participating in the examination. However, only a little more than ten thousand managed to enter the palace and participate in the second round.
In other words, more than ninety thousand cultivators had lost the qualifications to continue the examination. The truth was cruel. The Northern Ocean King's expression turned ugly. Even though he had expected this, the Northern Heavenly King could not help but let out a disappointed roar.
"You all have disappointed me and His Majesty." The Northern Heavenly King's angry sigh came from the depths of the palace. Hearing this sigh, most of the ninety thousand cultivators who were blocked outside the palace lowered their heads. Especially the Martial King Realm cultivators.
When they saw some Martial Saints who were weaker than them barely managing to charge into the palace with their strong wills, many of them were so ashamed that they could not show their faces. some even sat on the ground and wailed.
Sighs, shame, and cries could be heard everywhere.
Looking at the people outside, Ye Fei was secretly awed. A hundred thousand warriors had participated in the Earth Roll, and 90% of them had been eliminated in the first round. It could be seen how strict the Earth Roll's assessment was.
"Let's enter the next round!" In the depths of the palace, the Northern Ocean King was expressionless. No one could tell if he was happy, angry, or sad. With a wave of his hand, a towering mountain suddenly appeared in front of the palace's huge square. On top of the mountain, there was an endless stone staircase that snaked into the clouds.
"This is the second Heavenly Heavenly Stage '?" Ye Fei looked at the steps carefully. He could feel an invisible pressure from the steps.
All the cultivators who charged in had grave expressions. Long Gang and the other two stood beside Ye Fei. They pointed at the steps and said to Ye Fei, "Ye Fei, don't underestimate these steps. Ninety-nine percent of the cultivators in the previous Earth Ranking examinations have died here."
"Ninety-nine percent?"
This was the first time that Jing Wushou, the Tenth Prince, and the others had participated in the Earth Ranking. When they heard that the elimination rate was so high, they were worried.
Ye Fei was the same. However, he knew that there was no need to worry. If he wanted to pass the examination, the Heavenly Heavenly Stairs was an obstacle that he had to overcome.
While the few of them were talking, countless cultivators could not wait and started to climb the Heavenly Stairs. The Heavenly Stairs were long and they could not see the end.
However, the cultivators who were climbing did not shrink back. Many of them had grave expressions on their faces and strong fighting spirit.
"This time, I must get into the top 100 of the Heavenly Stairs. Even if I can't get in, I must at least be in the top 200."
"That's right. Only by getting into the top 200 will we have the qualifications to enter the next round of the examination. We must not give up this opportunity. "
The cultivators discussed and cheered each other on. They crowded on the Heavenly Stairs like a tidal wave. However, most of them were silent as they climbed up without saying a word.
Ye Fei also followed the crowd and walked up the stone steps of the Heavenly Stairs. Immediately, he felt an invisible pressure envelop him.
"This is the Gravitational Space! And the higher you go, the greater the pressure. Ye Fei, I'll go first. This time, I must rush into the top 10 and catch up to the Eldest Princess. "
Qin Bing came to Ye Fei's side and nodded at him. Immediately after, he took large strides and quickly advanced towards the stairway. Ye Fei raised his head and looked. He realized that at some point in time, the cultivators who were climbing the stairway had already started to split up.
The weaker ones were resisting the terrifying gravitational pressure and walking up the stairs with great difficulty. The stronger ones, like the Fourth Prince Zhu Zhen and the Eldest Princess Beigong Chun, were all taking big strides. Bai Tianyun, in particular, was especially fast.
While most people were still lingering at the bottom of the Heavenly Stairs, Bai Tianyun had already reached the front of the Heavenly Stairs and attracted the attention of tens of thousands of people.
"Look, it's Bai Tianyun. He has already reached first place."
"Haha, it's the Eldest Young Master. I knew that the Eldest Young Master would definitely get first place this time and become the top expert of Beiyang Country."
"Look at how arrogant the Bai Family is. The Heavenly Stairs have just begun. They may be first now, but they might not always be first. Humph."
Outside the palace, the hundreds of thousands of cultivators gathered. Although they were blocked by the millions of soldiers, they could still see the changes in the rankings of their respective elites through the countless crystal walls outside.
When they saw that Bai Tianyun's ranking had surpassed the Fourth Prince Zhu Zhen and Beigong Chun and was ranked first, the Bai Family stewards who came to watch were all haughty and arrogant. This naturally made many people unhappy. Who didn't want their family's descendants to obtain a good ranking on the Earth List?
"Strange, why don't we see Young Master Ye's name on the list?" Du Sanniang and the Flower Fairy were also standing in the crowd, looking at the crystal walls one by one. At first, they thought that with Ye Fei's strength, he should at least be in the top 100.
Therefore, they first started searching from the top 100, but they couldn't find Ye Fei's name. Helpless, they looked at the top 200, then the top 1,000, but they still couldn't find Ye Fei's name.
Du Sanniang was very surprised. "How can this be? Young Master Ye didn't even enter the top 1,000. With his strength, this shouldn't be possible."
"Haha, there's no need to look anymore. The crystal walls of the palace will only show the top 1,000 rankings. Since that North Sea country bumpkin isn't on the list, it proves that he can't even enter the top 1,000. I think you all have made a mistake this time. How can a country bumpkin be a VIP? Humph!"
