As far as the eye can see, except for a straight and rugged mountain road, there are only thick white fog and lead clouds that completely cover both sides of the mountain road.

Chu Yunsheng was walking on the road to the sky used for the trial, and he was in a trance and had the illusion of stepping on the top of the clouds.

Looking at the front that was hidden in the clouds and mist, the end point and the blessings and disasters could not be seen in the distance, he subconsciously had a kind of hesitation and hesitation in his heart.

All kinds of unpredictable and dangerous scenes appeared over and over in his mind, as if he would be torn to pieces by the wind blade, or the thunder and lightning of the gods would come and chop him into coke, or he would be nameless. The fire of purgatory spewed out from under his feet, burning him to ashes.

An indescribable panic instantly surrounded Chu Yunsheng's body and mind, covering his mouth, nose and eyes like lumps of airtight mud, making him feel a strong despair of being immersed in a swamp.

His breath suddenly stagnated, and his chest heaved violently.

I don't know when, Chu Yunsheng's footsteps on the mountain road have slowed down, and even stopped, like an invisible hand wrapped in a vortex, blocking him, pushing him back, and returning to the original place.

"Not like me..."

Chu Yunsheng looked ahead and suddenly whispered.

All people have emotions and desires, and fear and cowardice, which cannot be eradicated.

 In many moments, in order to accomplish something, to achieve something, one must be sober and fearless.

This is what Chu Yunsheng understood very early on. If he didn't even understand it, he probably wouldn't be in the right place in the world.

The meaning of retreat and cowardice only lasted for a few breaths, and then quietly faded from Chu Yunsheng's mind. As the mind suddenly became clear, the fog obscured by the mountain road ahead seemed to dissipate, and a huge shadow of the bronze porch was faintly drawn.

Chu Yunsheng looked up and continued to climb the mountain.

 Except for the blockage that magnified fear and cowardice at the beginning, it seemed that there were no other tests in the next journey. Chu Yunsheng walked thousands of steps without encountering anything strange again.

He didn't think that the climb to the sky that Shangqing Mountain specially used to test Qianlong cards would be so simple, so even with the passage of time and the difficulties and dangers of the mountain road, he was already exhausted, and he never gave up. vigilance in mind.

There was no change in the morning and evening on the way to the sky. Chu Yunsheng calculated the number of steps he took, and it was estimated that it had been about two days and three nights.

During the period, he would take a short rest and meditate for a while every 10,000 steps to restore his spirit and spiritual energy and relieve fatigue. And this cycle of marching and resting, he has done many times. But the road ahead is still foggy as always.

Gradually, a suspicion grew uncontrollably in his heart—

Maybe there is no end to every road to the sky, just like cultivation, there is always only hopeless climb;

Maybe he got lost on the road, has gone in the wrong direction, and will never reach the end;

Maybe he is destined to be unable to rely on his own strength to see the front clearly. It also shows that most cultivators are always eager to improve in their lives, but they also always know that they have come to this point. Sadness, despair, sadness...

Slowly, the rock in Chu Yunsheng's heart, which symbolized indomitable progress, seemed to be being ground by the ruthlessness and hopelessness of the years, gradually turning into powder.

Sitting cross-legged on the side of the mountain road, he changed from a state of meditation to a state of laziness that lost his strength, and the boundless negativity drowned him like a silent tide. In the dazed comfort that floated slightly, he heard a distant and illusory voice.

"Cultivation is like rowing a boat against the current. Those who climb the road to the sky should keep moving forward and stick to their hearts."

"However, I know that your cultivation level is low and difficult, so anyone who takes a hundred steps on the road to heaven can stop retreating. Anyone who takes a hundred steps, the aptitude and chance are all in line with my superiority, and you can enter the entrance without needing to take a step back. Worry about losing the election..."

Chu Yunsheng suddenly opened his eyes.

"What to choose between the unknown future and the foreseeable arrangement, whether to go on the unseen future... Just as people are destined to die, it is a ridiculous question whether one's life is meaningless. "

"It's also an age-old problem."

After Bai Yuecheng lost the robe that was obviously demonic, Chu Yunsheng, who was only wearing a plain white shirt, revealed a different kind of laziness and casualness in his passive and casual manner. The moment his voice fell to the ground, the trace of laziness disappeared.

All confusion and hopelessness were swept away from his eyes.

He didn't burst out any sharp edges, just like an ancient and introverted sword that had never been sharp, he slowly straightened his back.

"Fear, negativity, laziness... all the weaknesses in human nature are chosen."

After sweeping away the decadent inertia, Chu Yunsheng returned to normal again, got up and continued on his way.

He analyzed the experience of the two levels just now, and had a lot of guesses about the path to heaven.

at the same time.

On the same long road to the sky, in different cloud and mist shadows, there are seven other figures, like Chu Yunsheng, either marching or resting, a total of four men and three women.

Some of them were terrified, as if trapped in a nightmare of death, unable to break free, others were full of sweat, described as embarrassed, slowing down their pace as they looked at the road and the endless front, their eyes were confused, as if in some kind of struggle.

A small number of the seven people have also reached the threshold, and in his ears, the illusory voice gradually sounded.

"You can stop, you can retreat, as long as you pass the first 100 steps, it will be closed, and you can enter the mountain gate... There must be more benefits if you continue to move forward, otherwise, the road to the sky will just end, why bother Another announcement..."

"Am I really willing to leave the hellish place...?"

"I'm tired, I can't hold on anymore, this rule is just to relieve my suffering... Maybe it's just a part of the test..."

Faced with the voice of the Tao, everyone reacted differently, some swayed and hesitated, and some gritted their teeth in thought.

Above his head, an endless sea of ​​fog and clouds shrouded a road that was half illusory and half solid.

Two outer door elders in charge of monitoring stood under the bronze porch, glancing at the fog below from time to time.

One of the outer sect elders looked at the figure struggling on the foggy road, and said with a smile, "The 100-year-old Qianlong disciples are all well-qualified, and until now, no one has retreated. rare……"

Another elder said: "Before he didn't know that retreating would cause him to lose the Qianlong card and the hidden care given by the future sect, he could not give up immediately, but he had a heart of Tao."

"After all, they are all 'young dragons' selected by the Qianlong card..."

As he said that, the elder suddenly paused, glanced at the other elder, lowered his voice, and said with a bit of a strange meaning: "Feng Daoyou, there is a recent rumor about the one-year-old Qianlong disciple. I don't know if you heard that..."

The smile on Elder Feng's face was full of gossip, and he said, "Young Daoyou Wang has heard about it? Speaking of which, when the rumors first came, I also saw the headmaster hurried to the back of the execution hall. I went to the mountains, but when I left, I was filled with joy and sorrow."

"It seems—"

The two inner sect elders looked at each other and smiled, and then focused their eyes and consciousness on the way to the sky, as if they were distinguishing what they were looking for.

Even if there is a lot of speculation about the way to the sky, with Chu Yunsheng's cultivation realm, he can't do anything, and he can only be more targeted and cautious when moving forward.

And as if to confirm Chu Yunsheng's guess, he was continuously tested by greed, jealousy, and lust.

What made Chu Yunsheng feel strange was that Dengtian Lu seemed to be able to vaguely sense his emotions—

When his greed was magnified, it became a paranoid monopoly on a man with a vaguely familiar face and a look like Yin Zheng, and an endless and crazy exploration of a certain research. After his jealousy was magnified, he saw Yin Zheng join hands with others, declaring to himself that that was the love of his life.

And his lust is in the world of numbers, for hundreds of years, his limbs have been intertwined every night, and his skin has been sticking to each other.

It was tender, affectionate, and hot, and it was hard to hold on to and unable to extricate oneself.

    For Chu Yunsheng, it is not so much a test as it is to see himself clearly once.

In the accumulation of very different memories in a lifetime, in the complicated entanglement with another person once in a while, anyone can get lost.

Chu Yunsheng was no exception.

Therefore, he often examines himself and makes clear what he thinks.

He is very clear that his exploration of a certain field must be endless and limited, and any unlimited love will only bring bad results, while for Yin Zheng, it is to accompany rather than monopolize it, to give Freedom rather than constraints is a desire arising from love and responsibility, not the temptation of beauty and youth.

The three trials were like a mirror, allowing him to see his own thoughts and cognitions more clearly.

So in the third pass, he almost never stopped, so he walked soberly.

Soon, Chu Yunsheng saw the complete outline of the bronze porch in front of him and the two figures there from a distance, and also saw the distance of the last section of the mountain road. This means that he is about to pass the test of climbing the road to heaven and officially enter Shangqingshan.

At the same time, the clouds and mists on both sides of the mountain road suddenly boiled, and an invisible force suddenly crashed into Chu Yunsheng's body, making him unable to even take precautions.

The power was extremely cold, and almost as soon as he entered the body, Chu Yunsheng had a feeling that his soul and body would be completely frozen. His foundation-building spiritual consciousness, which was deeply hidden in his soul, was affected by a force that could no longer be suppressed, and would burst out immediately.

The disciples on the first level of Qi Refining have the spiritual consciousness that only existed in the Foundation Establishment period, so you don't need to think about it to know that there is a problem.

What's more, the Dao Foundation Establishment Divine Consciousness was cultivated by the original magic cultivation method, and it has a magic cultivation aura. If it is really pulled out, I am afraid that the two figures in front will immediately strike with a spell.

The crisis was suddenly triggered without warning, and the foundation-building consciousness was only about to be exposed in an instant.

Chu Yunsheng's eyelashes formed fine frost, and the moment before his divine consciousness was about to break through and reveal his soul, he directly thought and destroyed his divine consciousness.

The severe pain that almost tore apart his soul made the veins on his forehead bulge, and a tinge of blood spread in his mouth.

His expression did not change much, as if he was just enduring an inexplicable cold attack.

However, Chu Yunsheng found that after the self-destruction of his spiritual consciousness, the power was still wandering in his soul and dantian, as if he was still investigating and did not relax.

At this moment, in the depths of the cloud and mist that no one could see, a small orange cat hair silently descended from the sky and landed on Chu Yunsheng's hair.

The warmth returned, and the force that brought the cold quickly subsided.

Chu Yunsheng opened his eyes as if feeling a little bit, but he didn't do anything.

When the freezing feeling on his body was completely dissipated, he slowly moved his hands and feet, walked up the stairs, walked the last section of the mountain road, and came to the huge and towering bronze porch.

Under the bronze porch stood two middle-aged monks, one tall and one thin, and both of them showed a bit of inexplicable inquiry when they saw him come and salute.

Among them, the tall cultivator nodded slightly to him, indicating that he would continue to leave here, and then it would be over.

When he was inside and was about to leave the bronze porch, he heard a faint voice from behind: "He's the fastest, do you think it's him... Also, maybe the age is not right... "

Chu Yunsheng guessed that the two elders of Shangqingshan were looking for someone.

He didn't think much, but he gathered his thoughts and walked out of the bronze porch. The scene around him changed in an instant. It was actually near the assessment office at the mountain gate, but it was clearly inside the mountain gate, and it was far from the place where the assessment disciples were resting. The house is also closer.

There is an open space in front, and there is a rock near the bronze porch. A thin young man wearing a smoky blue inner disciple uniform holds a jade slip and leans against the rock without standing. He seems to be bored.

"Who doesn't know that, except for those who gave up halfway through the climb to the sky, they would never make it out of it for seven or eight days. It's only been three days, so what's the point of sending me here early to wait?" What do you mean? Usually you are a good brother and sister. When it comes to work, you always think about making arrangements for your good brothers and sisters... If it's such a hot day, you should stay in the cave. ‌Clear the mind, blow the cool breeze, eat the little spirit fruit, and take a look at the pictures of the Spring Opera..."

Wang Pei clapped the palm of his hand with the jade slip one after another, and yawned in exhaustion as he scatters his thoughts in a boundless manner.

Just as soon as his mouth opened, a figure suddenly walked out of the bronze doorway in front of him. The jade tablet in the figure's hand emitted a light and shot into the jade slip in Wang Pei's hand.

Wang Pei stopped knocking on the jade slip and forgot to close his mouth.

He glanced suspiciously at the time in the jade slip, raised his head and glanced suspiciously at the young man walking in front of him, and said, "It's only been three days, right? How are you? ‌‌It's coming out soon?"

Wang Pei did not suspect that Chu Yunsheng was not a Qianlong disciple, or that he quit halfway, because in those two cases, he would not come out from the bronze doorway.

Seeing Wang Pei's reaction, Chu Yunsheng knew that he came out early, and might even break a certain record and common sense. He didn't explain anything, but simply asked: "Senior brother, is three days fast?"

Wang Pei opened his mouth, stared at Chu Yunsheng for a while, and said, "Soon... no, it's not the fastest, you should be in the top five in a thousand, and the other four, Except for the fallen one, the remaining three are already the elders of the inner door of the sect. Some are the masters of the first peak in the door, and some are stationed outside... You boy, as long as you practice well in the future, your future is limitless. what."

Wang Pei looked at Chu Yunsheng and sighed, as if he saw a spiritual genius rising, so he decided to show the amiable side of a brother from the inner door.

Pulling the corner of his mouth, Wang Pei showed a bright and friendly smile at Chu Yunsheng, and said in a very kind and warm tone: "Junior brother, the journey to the sky is over, the next time is to choose a place for the assessment, have you decided where to sign up? Brother, my name is Wang Pei, from Danfeng..."

"I, Danfeng, not only has beautiful scenery and abundant spiritual energy, but also has a priority supply of various medicinal herbs. I am fed by brothers and sisters from time to time on the road. The medicinal herbs are all very valuable. What about a spirit stone... When you can make alchemy yourself, the spirit stone will go into the storage bag like a snowflake..."

Chu Yunsheng suddenly felt a sense of modernity, the illusion of facing a salesman in a sales office.

 He is destined not to go to Danfeng to join Xiao Ni's .

So without waiting for Wang Pei to continue his enthusiastic promotion, Chu Yunsheng said, "Thank you Senior Brother Wang, Dan Feng is very good, I have already signed up for the Artifact Refining Hall."

Wang Pei's enthusiasm came to an abrupt end: "You actually like to strike iron, alas... no, you haven't been assessed yet, you can change it."

He hinted at Chu Yunsheng, ‌Chu Yunsheng lightly smiled and shook his head.

Wang Pei couldn't figure out how someone would like to go to the Refining Hall to be poor and poor, and would not want to come to Danfeng to refine alchemy elegantly and make a fortune. ‌Chu Yunsheng had already made a choice. He didn't insist on being difficult, but was slightly confused and disappointed.

After briefly introducing Chu Yunsheng about the assessment of the Item Refining Hall, Wang Pei asked: "You are also a coincidence, the other four haven't come today, but the Item Refining Hall and Danfeng have already started the assessment. Do you plan to take a day off before going to the assessment, or go now?"

"It's all right now."

Chu Yun said, and looked at Wang Pei: "There is something that I have to trouble my senior. I also ask senior not to mention to the other beginners that I have been on the road to heaven in three days."

Wang Pei was slightly surprised, and then suddenly smiled: "It seems that you are still keeping a low profile. It's better to keep a low profile. In the realm of self-cultivation, being low-key can only live long enough."

To Wang Pei, all kinds of things were absolutely necessary. Without hesitation, he agreed to Chu Yunsheng's request, and then showed Chu Yunsheng a way to go to the assessment site of the Item Refining Hall.

Following the direction pointed by Wang Pei, not long after Chu Yunsheng walked away, he saw a simple-looking stone house standing beside a forest, and a long-bearded old man sat with his knees closed and his eyes closed.

On the other side, farther apart, stood a huge Dan Ding that was several feet tall, and several inner disciples in smoky blue clothes were organizing the assessment. The number of examiners was extremely large, and they lined up in two teams to walk to the stone platforms around the Danding to participate in the assessment, which formed a stark contrast to the desertedness in front of the stone house.

Chu Yunsheng glanced at Dan Ding, and found Xiao Ni with a calm face and hatred in the corner.

He followed Xiao Ni's line of sight, and as expected, he saw Shan Rourou being surrounded by two handsome male disciples.

Chu Yunsheng wanted to warn Danfeng about the assessment, but the current situation makes it difficult for him to find a chance.

Calmly closing his eyes, Chu Yunsheng walked to the stone house and bowed slightly to the old man with his eyes closed: "Elder, I'm here to participate in the assessment of the Refining Hall."

The elder did not open his eyes, but said slowly, "Come to participate in the assessment of my Item Refining Hall, why did you just look at Danfeng?"

As if he didn't feel the stingy dissatisfaction from the elder, Chu Yunsheng replied lightly, "Watch the fun."

Hearing this, the famous elder opened his eyes, half amused and half surprised to see Chu Yunsheng for a while, but he didn't see any disobedience on his face, so he smiled and said, "Your answer is correct. This old man has an appetite. Go in, choose any of the artifact refining rooms, and if you can refine a first-order mid-grade artifact within three hours, you will be considered a pass.”

Chu Yunsheng has long known that the assessments in Shangqing Mountain are practical, and he is not surprised. He still has a little bit of Demon Venerable foundation for the way of magic, so refining first-order magic tools is not a problem.

Handing the Qianlong card to the old man, Chu Yunsheng pushed open the door and walked into the stone house.

Only after entering the door did Chu Yunsheng know how the old man said, "Choose a refining room at random" when faced with a small stone house. Although the stone house is small, it is A magic tool or a spiritual tool, with an empty space about the size of a square, lined with several doors in a row, is a refining room.

Shangqingshan, as well as the entire cultivation world, all of which were in decline, so only one of him was invited to participate in the assessment in the several refining rooms.

I chose a refining room to go in, and in the center was a water-tank-sized stove with a crimson flame jumping in it. The walls were surrounded by various refining materials and exotic metal gems.

Chu Yunsheng looked around and had already determined the item to be refined.

Outside the stone house, after Chu Yunsheng entered the examination, Yuan Dongshan, who was invigilating the examination, stared at the Qianlong card in his hand and froze.

After a while, he came to his senses, and there was still disbelief in his eyes.

He knew that the Qianlong card disciples were the candidates for the inner door in the future. He also knew when the Ascension Road would be opened, and he knew what kind of future he might have if he walked out of the Ascension Road in three days, so he was very puzzled.

 The future is bright. If you stand up and shout, you will be scrambled by the invigilators or elders of the six peaks of Shangqing Mountain. Even the elders of the inner door will help him cancel his status as a handyman and accept an apprentice in advance. ‌He will come to the Refinery Hall?

" Xu is really fond of refining tools."

Yuan Dongshan sighed sincerely.

Just as he was thinking about the genius's choice, a muffled sound suddenly came from the stone house, like a sudden explosion.

Yuan Dongshan was startled, and suddenly got up and looked at the stone house, for fear that the genius he had just acquired would die young.

  The stone house was his spiritual weapon. He could sense some changes in the interior. He noticed that Chu Yunsheng just blew up the furnace. It was protected by formations and inscriptions, and he did not suffer any damage. After hesitating, he sat down again.

If there is no fear of life in the Six Peaks assessment, generally it cannot be interrupted.

Just in case, Yuan Dongshan separated a ray of consciousness and focused on the changes in the stone house.

Not long after, there was a sound of fryer sound.

Yuan Dongshan's brows twitched and he remained calm.

After half an hour, with a bang, the stone house of the fourth-order spiritual tool seemed to tremble slightly.

Yuan Dongshan stroked his beard and looked at his stone house, with a hint of distress on his face, and at the same time he wondered what Chu Yunsheng was refining.

An hour later, there was a loud noise, and the wall of the stone house swelled, and there were several eyes from Danding opposite, as if they heard the movement on the side.

Yuan Dongshan sat upright and pretended not to hear.

An hour and a half later, the ground shook with the surrounding trees, and the inscription on the outer layer of the stone house lit up slightly.

Yuan Dongshan's face twitched, and he began to calculate how many times the inscriptions and formations could last, whether to repair it or not, and how many spirit stones it would take to repair it: "What the hell is this kid doing? ‌The thing? The spirit weapon is not as big as him, and it has been blown up many times. It must be that he can't make it... If he really can't make it, should he let it be, or just force it. Let him do it?"

Two hours later, the loud noise was like thunder, and it was so dull and thrilling.

And above the stone house, there seems to be a faint gathering of thunder, which is invisible.

Yuan Dongshan's futon felt like a needle was piercing it, and he couldn't sit still.

His expression was a little distorted, and he was talking about genius, so he could barely suppress the urge to rush in and pull out Chu Yunsheng.

As the three hours approached, a thunderous sound suddenly sounded.

Yuan Dongshan raised his eyes suddenly, and saw a bolt of lightning as thick as a log hit the roof of the stone house, which was quickly absorbed and dispersed by the stone house.

"It's not actually a frying pan, it's arousing thunder, it's the breath of a catastrophe... Boy, no, a genius actually made a top-quality magic weapon?"

Yuan Dongshan was full of surprises that he couldn't hide.

Whether it is a magic weapon, a spiritual weapon, a magic weapon or a spiritual treasure, the general low-grade, middle-grade and high-grade are all easy to obtain, only the best-grade refining conditions are extremely harsh, and they also pay attention to a certain fate and fit. It is difficult to find, so even if only The first-order top-grade magic weapon is also much stronger than the ordinary ‌-rank magic weapon, and its value is also high.

Even as the elder of the outer door of the Refining Hall, he established a foundation and cultivated a base, and he did not make a top-quality item, which shows how difficult it is.

Yuan Dongshan immediately attributed all the fryers before Chu Yunsheng to the genius style of excellence, and no longer cared about it.

Hearing the sound of exclamation and discussion coming from Danding on the opposite side, Yuan Dongshan was a little happy, and immediately got up to meet Chu Yunsheng who came out of the stone house door.

In the mood of raising his eyebrows and showing off to Danfeng, Yuan Dongshan deliberately raised his voice and asked Chu Yunsheng: "The assessment is over, look at the movement, you should have become a first-order top grade. Magic weapon?"

Chu Yunsheng nodded: "Yes."

There was a slight inhalation sound from Danfeng's side.

Yuan Dongshan was very satisfied, he continued to stroke his long beard, and asked kindly, "What kind of training are you doing?"

Chu Yunsheng took an orange thing out of the storage bag, and replied, "A cat litter box that can automatically clean cat buttocks and shovel shit."

If the voice was taken away by Shun , everyone in Danfeng who was eavesdropping fell silent.

Yuan Dongshan's hand twitching his beard trembled and pulled off a bunch of whiskers—a cat, a cat litter box? What the hell is his mother-in-law!

Just then, a cold, jade-like sound came, breaking the eerie silence of the assessment office.

"Is it your idea that he came to test the refining equipment?"

Yuan Dongshan shivered inexplicably while clutching the fallen beard.
