Abruptly while the candidates were discussing about the examination, Xu Qian kneeled down in front of Xue Lie, "Peak Leader, I want to take part in the following examination still, can I?"
"Good, arrogance is the enemy of us martial artists. It will be beneficial for you to have a practice in the Distant-Near Land."
"Your words are right, Younger Brother Xue! So what's your four's minds?" Guo Ruochen replied Xue Lie, then turned to the other four predestined disciples.
"We'd like to participate in the examination too!"
Guo Ruochen nodded and smiled with satisfaction, announcing to all, "Well, the time limit for this examination is thirty days. The monument will send you here again on the thirty-first day. Now open the door and go in!"
The entrances of the Distant-Near Land was opened and the remained thousand disciples began to swamp in, including Xiao Naihe who entered from the east.
Just taking one step, he got to know why the enrollment require to be an inner disciple of the Mountain Rosy Clouds was reaching only nine hundred steps. It seemed that to take these nine hundred steps was not easy work.
He could inspect that a small part of his spiritual power was set off as soon as he took his feet on the first step.
"To take ninety steps is not simple, let alone nine hundred!" He slightly browned.
According to the amount of the absorbed spiritual power by the first step, an indication could be inferred that to take one hundred steps of the Ladder, one must be in the early stage of the Sky Spirit Realm, three hundred steps the highest level of the Sky Spirit Realm and nine hundred at least the Full Immortal Realm.
He believed there must be others who had discovered this rule.
Although it seemed a difficult challenge, Xiao Naihe felt excited very much, because it could stimulate more of his potentials. The road to be an outstanding martial artist could not be smooth sailing and he had to work harder since he wanted to cultivate both the human Taoism and the devil Taoism.
"I have once managed to pass through the dangerous Endless Demonic Sea where there were many demonic beasts that could devour me. Compared with the sea, the Ladder today is much easier and I must overcome it. If not, how can I defeat that God in the Nine Heavens and Divine Domain in the future?"
Abandoning the distracting thoughts in his heart, Xiao Naihe set up his mind brightly as if the Ladder now had turned into the path to the heaven.
He kept on walking forward and every step his took would consume part of his spiritual power. Despite of that, he had arrived at the thirty-third step after a short time.
Outside the Ladder, Xue Lie made a cold snort, disappointed by the fact that Xu Qian, his new pro-disciple was only at the fourth place, "The forefront one now should be Fu Bo who has already joined the Tianzheng Peak! Humph!"
The examination progress was live broadcasted on the surface of the monument.
Fu Bo, with the cultivation base of the early stage of the Full Immortal Realm, had already reached the 108th step, ranking the number one exactly as Xue Lie inferred.
The second place was occupied by Wang Xing, the new disciple of the Danli Peak who owned the Juque Sword. With the cultivation base in the early stage of the Full Immortal Realm, he had arrived at the 103rd step.
The other newly female disciple of the Danli Peak, matching the Shuanghua Sword, with same the cultivation base as Wang Xing, had walked on the 99th step, occupying the third place.
The fourth one, Xu Qian had finished 82 steps already, relying on his cultivation base in the highest level of the Sky Spirit Realm.
Yun Weixue held the fifth place at the 72nd step owing to the Yin Yang Kung Fu, a special immortal martial art.
The five predestined disciples occupied the top five places, which demonstrated the advantages of the five immortal swords that they could supply spiritual power to their owners.
The rest of the candidates were almost in the Sky Spirit Realm, and among them, no one had accomplished 50 steps.
Though inheriting the Moon and Sun Sword, Xiao Naihe was at the 39th step, because he refused to accept the sword's supplement of spiritual power.
"Where are the brother and sister of the Family Yu now?" He was very fond of these two people and wanted to develop a good relationship with them, for they chose to believe him after the Hao Li issue.
