They heard about the mysterious race behind the Eternal Ruins.
The cultivators present were immediately in an uproar.
For cultivators from Four Seas and Eight Wastelands, the Eternal Ruins have long been considered divine.
Any weapon he wields is a top-tier spiritual treasure.
A chance encounter can create someone at the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm.
If one could enter the organization behind it to cultivate, and receive guidance from a senior master...
Thinking of this, many people already showed longing in their eyes.
But at that moment, Lin Heng suddenly said something that seemed to be directed at himself.
"I wonder how many spots are available this time?"
That short sentence immediately put those self-satisfied cultivators to a wary look.
Human nature is inherently selfish; when faced with absolute self-interest, people prioritize their own interests above all else.
Not to mention the opportunity presented by this Eternal Ruins, which could potentially allow them to surpass even the Lord of the Four Seas.
Even more so, a kind of longing exists in the hearts of these people.
Will this opportunity allow them to reach the same heights as Mu Chen back then, or even the Lord of the Universe Primordial Chaos?
The mere thought of potentially becoming an existence like Primordial Chaos filled them with such excitement that their faces flushed.
Faced with such an opportunity, the cultivators present all looked at those around them with wariness.
suddenly!
A beam of colorful light descended from the sky.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.
Eight-colored rays of light fell into the air.
A colorful staircase then appeared.
"Those who can reach the ninetieth level may join our clan for cultivation."
"Those who can reach the ninety-fifth floor will receive personal guidance from our clan elders."
"Those who can reach the ninety-ninth floor will be accepted as disciples by our clan leader."
"Only three people will be accepted this time, and only one person will be accepted for each level. Only the first person to clear the level will get a chance."
The deep voice announced the rules.
This caused an uproar among the crowd.
Only three people are accepted.
Only one person is charged per floor.
That means...
Only those who are the first to reach the ninetyth floor can be included in this mysterious race.
Secondly, unless one can reach the ninety-fifth floor, even reaching the ninetyth floor will not grant them any chance to join this mysterious clan.
Although there are three spots available this time.
But it's clear that whoever goes through the challenge first will have a greater advantage.
After all, for those people present...
All they wanted was to join this clan.
As for the higher the floor, although the benefits are better.
But who knows how difficult it will be later?
What if someone else snatches the spot first, and we don't even have a chance to get a spot on the 90th floor?
Besides!
What if I could be the first to attempt the challenge, and what if I were lucky enough to reach the 99th floor?
Doesn't this also cut off the path for others?
When this thought crossed everyone's mind.
In an instant, a chilling atmosphere spread throughout the space.
The people in the room looked at each other.
Everyone wanted to be the first to try, but no one dared to take the first step.
The stalemate continued.
Suddenly, a sound came from somewhere.
"The barrier that previously restricted our progress has disappeared?"
Upon hearing this, two of the fastest-reacting cultivators immediately flew towards the Heavenly Ladder.
The result was predictable.
The two cultivators at the Eternal Realm had only flown less than a hundred meters.
Immediately, dozens of attacks came from behind.
The two were instantly blasted to smithereens by these dozens of attacks, leaving not even a trace of their clothes behind.
After this scene unfolded, naturally no one dared to take the lead.
An incredible opportunity is presented before us; even if it were our own son, there would be no room for negotiation.
After all, if one could obtain such an opportunity, one might become an existence like Primordial Chaos.
If I created a five-layered universe, wouldn't I have no trouble raising many of my own descendants?
A hush fell over the room.
Everyone wanted to be the first to head to the Heavenly Ladder and attempt the challenges.
However, the image of those two people dying tragically was still vivid in their minds, and no one dared to provoke them.
Just then, Lin Heng spoke with a smile.
"Everyone, if you all stand like this, opportunities won't just fall from the sky."
"In my opinion, opportunity has always been seized by the capable."
"I think it would be better to choose one person from each of our respective camps."
"Then we'll have a competition. Whoever wins will be the first to go up and pass the challenge, how about that?"
"Of course, to be fair, in the first round, no one can send out someone at the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm."
No sooner had Lin Heng finished speaking than someone voiced their objection.
"No!"
The one who said this was an inconspicuous junior monk.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a powerful expert in his camp, an Eternal Realm cultivator, swept his hand and killed him.
Within the same camp, killing each other has always been forbidden.
Yet, when this Eternal Realm expert made his move, no one objected.
This perfectly illustrates Lin Heng's words.
Opportunities have always been seized by the capable.
In this world of cultivators, whoever has the bigger fist has always been right.
Lin Heng's suggestion naturally deprived those junior cultivators of their chance.
But if you're weak, even if an opportunity is right in front of you, you can only watch helplessly; there's nothing wrong with that.
The Lord of the Four Seas exchanged glances, seemingly communicating with each other through their eyes.
They didn't get a chance to advance in the first round.
But for the four of them, it was also a good opportunity to see the difficulty of the Heavenly Ladder.
As for whether someone will snatch the opportunity to reach the 99th floor first.
Each of the four people has a clear understanding of the situation.
If this Heavenly Ladder is truly so easy to climb, then this opportunity might not be as good as they imagined.
"I agree to Lin Heng's proposal."
Hongjun was the first to agree.
Next, the other three sea lords all nodded in agreement.
Since the Lord of the Four Seas had personally agreed, their subordinates naturally had nothing to say.
When it came to the stage of selecting representatives, there was actually little controversy.
They all belong to the same faction.
Everyone knows who is strong and who is weak.
Hongjun sent his disciple Du Feng.
Dasiwoba sent a man named Zhong Fan.
Hermoz, on the other hand, sent a man named Milexius.
Lin Yue Yao sent a woman named Yue Ling.
All four of them are at the Late Stage of the Indestructible Realm.
Finally, all eyes turned to Lin Heng.
On Lin Heng's side, there was little controversy, with all eyes focused on Zhu Rong and the Evil Avatar.
They all knew that this Heavenly Ladder was nothing more than a trick played by Fate.
On their own side, that is, at Lin Heng's request, they were to cooperate and play along.
They didn't care at all about the so-called qualifications to enter the mysterious clan.
In that case, what's the point of fighting over it?
Why not just leave the opportunity to the warlike Zhu Rong and Evil Avatar?
The next second!
A scene that no one in the Four Seas faction could have predicted has unfolded.
Faced with such an incredible opportunity.
Zhu Rong and the Evil Avatar chose an unbelievable method.
