The sound of Daoist Feiling is not loud, but it can be clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
No one is too surprised by the covenant he mentioned. This is something that happens before every hegemony competition begins.
The purpose is to maintain the stability of the entire Fengzhou during the competition.
After all, 90% of the powerful people are here.
Therefore, the first covenant is that during the hegemony competition, whoever provokes a sect war or a national war will be punished together.
Then there are other covenants. For example, during the competition, each Great Powers must be willing to admit defeat in the competition between the geniuses, and must not interfere in the event, let alone take action against the participating disciples.
This is also to ensure that all geniuses can fully display their strengths and ensure the fairness and impartiality of the competition.
"Alliance!"
After announcing all the alliances, Daoist Feiling finally shouted the word alliance, followed by a chorus of cheers:
"Alliance!"
"Alliance!"
"Alliance!"
After the covenant was established, Daoist Feiling announced the rewards that could be obtained in the competition. In addition to the elemental stones and elixir rewards collected by each Great Powers, the top ten could also represent Fengzhou to the Divine Martial Secret Realm two years later.
This secret place claims to be able to obtain any martial arts that suits you, and it is definitely a treasure place.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you must obtain Gang Yuan Realm, so after obtaining the qualification, you must break through to the Gang Yuan Realm level within two years.
But even so, after all the geniuses heard about it, they were all gearing up.
For them, two years is more than enough time to break through to the Gang Yuan Realm.
Some even believe that they will be able to break through soon after the competition.
"Okay, I've said all that needs to be said. Now I'll announce that Heavenly Pride Competition has officially started!"
Rumble!
As soon as Daoist Feiling finished speaking, there was a sudden vibration in the entire ladder, and then a stone door carved with complicated patterns slowly rose in front of the first staircase.
This is used to test bone age. It is extremely accurate. It is said that people over the age of 22 can be detected by one day.
Click!
Soon, the stone door was completely raised, and the entire ladder stopped shaking. The geniuses knew that it was time to start without reminding them.
So the one in front jumped out first, and the speed was so fast that you could only see a small black dot at once.
Then more people followed.
Lu Ming and Zhu Ningyun nodded to each other, passed through the stone door in the blink of an eye, and stepped onto the stairs.
Of course, some are blocked.
"What's going on? I'm obviously only twenty-two years old today, why am I still being blocked?"
A Late Gang Qi Realm young man was unwilling to give up.
Daoist Feiling saw it and snorted coldly, "I just turned twenty-two today and I won't be blocked. What's going on? Go back and ask your parents if they gave birth to you a few days early."
"Haha..."
This moment caused a burst of laughter, and everyone did not understand that this was another attempt to get through.
As for the young man's faction, they also felt a little embarrassed, so they quickly came out and took the young man back who was already blushing.
After a while, almost everyone got on the ladder, and the only one blocked by Age-Testing Stone Pillar was the young man from before.
Of course, there must be more than one person who wants to muddle through, but after seeing the lessons learned from the past, running over again will only lead to self-humiliation.
Daoist Feiling glanced at these people, didn't care, and continued to stare at the ladder.
Soon, someone began to fall, and his level was not low. He was Mid Gang Qi Realm.
"Will Mid Gang Qi Realm be screened out?"
Everyone was shocked when they saw the person who fell and was caught.
"I guess he took too many pills or genius treasures to improve his strength."
Some people speculate.
"That's definitely the case. Martial Artist's lifespan is limited. There's nothing wrong with taking elixirs or heavenly materials and treasures to increase your strength, as long as you don't consume your potential. However, taking too much at one time will cause the Gang Qi to be extremely weak. This guy seems to be a little eager for quick success."
"Yeah, yeah."
Everyone was talking about it, and then many people fell down.
Most of them are Early Gang Qi Realm.
Those two Wuji Sect will break through to the Gang Qi Realm and also fall down.
"I'm sorry Sect Master, elder, we are embarrassed." They were a little ashamed to be eliminated so quickly.
"It's okay, you have done a good job."
Li Ansheng comforted them and asked them to return to the team, and then stared at the ladder, although they knew that with the strength of Lu Ming and others, they would definitely be able to reach the top and participate in the real competition.
But being there, it's still inevitable to be nervous.
At this time, on the ladder to heaven, Lu Ming also felt the mystery here. Generally speaking, there was an invisible pressure, and the higher you went up, the greater the pressure.
Those with weaker strength will find it difficult to make any progress.
If you force it upward, you will only be ejected.
But it's nothing to him, it's almost equal to nothing. If it's really strong, he can use Body Tempering.
It's a pity that the ladder selection cannot put pressure that even Late Gang Qi Realm can't bear, otherwise very few will be able to pass.
Of course, even so, it is extremely difficult for many people to move forward with this pressure.
Many people were ejected.
In the blink of an eye, Wuji Sect and his team were halfway through the ladder. In addition to Lu Ming, Guan Wuli, and Zhu Ningyun, who were extremely relaxed, Chi Xuan, He Jianjun, and others also began to struggle.
However, it is worth mentioning that although Zongzheng Yunlou has not reached the peak of the Early Gang Qi Realm, it is much easier than Chi Xuan and others. It seems that its research on gravity has taken a step further.
Wow!
Just as Lu Ming was observing others, a wave of enthusiasm suddenly came from below. It turned out that someone had already reached the top.
It was the swordsman genius Su Xinghan, standing at the top, with his robes flying, looking indescribably ethereal and powerful.
Then Rong Qi also climbed up. He looked at Su Xinghan and said with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes, "On the stage, I will let you see how powerful I am."
The two men obviously knew each other.
"I'm waiting." Su Xinghan remained calm.
Then someone else climbed to the top, including Yu Yuehua and Zhan Lan with the Seven Stars Palace, Gu Sha with Heavenly Origin Battle Body, Yuan Xinzhu with the Nine Heavens Alliance, etc.
As soon as they arrived, stars gathered at the top of the ladder, looking at each other with a fighting spirit.
"Senior Brother Guan, Senior Brother Lu, you don't have to wait for us, speed up."
Chi Yunqing vocal channel.
Lu Ming looked at each other and didn't insist. Anyway, Ascension Ladder didn't set a time limit, as long as they successfully climbed up.
So after saying "Come on you guys", I started to speed up.
Just a short moment later, Lu Ming and Guan Wuli climbed to the top of the ladder one after another.
Then a token automatically flies into their hands.
There is a number on it, which are sixty-nine and seventy.
It is also the number they will participate in the battle next.
I put it away without looking at it further.
"Haha, Junior Brother Lu, now I understand why some people like to stand at high places. Standing here, I really feel like I can see all the small mountains at a glance."
After putting away the token, Guan Wuli smiled happily.
Others who have climbed to the top are not immune.
Lu Ming didn't feel anything at all, and said casually, "There must be a lot of people standing below for you to look down on."
Guan Wuli was stunned, this was really reasonable and he couldn't refute it.
After a while, Zhu Ningyun also successfully climbed to the top, but there were some beads of sweat on his white forehead.
Obviously I also felt a little difficult.
So Wuji Sect and others are a little confused.
Sure enough, Li Biehe, Chi Yunqing, An Yu, etc. were ejected when they reached one-third of the way to the top.
By two-thirds of the time, Chi Xuan, He Jianjun, Feng Chao and others also became difficult to move forward, but they still persisted.
"Come on!"
Guan Wuli shouted.
Chi Xuan heard the sound and saw Lu Ming standing on top. He suddenly roared and rushed upwards with a sharp edge.
Then he rushed to the top, but immediately fell to the ground helplessly.
Lu Ming quickly stepped forward and helped him up, "Congratulations."
"Thank you very much."
Chi Xuan was already covered in sweat and struggled to spit out three words.
Then He Jianjun and others saw Chi Xuan like this, and they also launched a sprint with all their strength. However, their strength was still a little worse, unable to break the gravity, and they were ejected.
"What a pity."
Guan Wuli sighed.
"There's one more."
Lu Ming pointed.
It turned out that there was another Zongzheng Yunlou that had been left at the bottom. He was not in a hurry and just climbed up while studying.
"This junior brother is a bit strange."
Guan Wuli smiled.
As time goes by, more and more people have successfully reached the top, and of course many people have been eliminated.
So in the blink of an eye, there were only a few people left on the entire ladder.
Finally, with Zongzheng Yunlou reaching the top for the last time, the ladder selection is finally over.
A total of more than 600 people participated, but only more than 200 people succeeded in reaching the summit.
Nearly two-thirds were eliminated in one go.
This ratio is not small.
And those who remain are naturally the real geniuses, standing at the top of the ladder, enjoying the cheers of everyone.
